Note 1 — Organization and Plan of Business Operations

 

Allegro Merger Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 7, 2017 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through JuneSeptember 30, 20182020 relates to the Company’s formation, and the proposedCompany’s initial public offering of units (“Initial Public Offering”) described below.

below and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 2, 2018. On July 6, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 1,950,000 unitsUnits issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ overallotment option, generating gross proceeds of $149,500,000, which is described in Note 3. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) and one right (the “Rights”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 7). Each Right entitles the holder to receive one tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the completion of a Business Combination.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 372,500 units (“Private Units”), at a price of $10.00 per unitPrivate Unit in a private placement to certain holders of the Company’s founder shares (“Initial Stockholders”)Stockholders (defined below), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Chardan Capital Markets LLC (the(collectively, the “Insiders”), generating gross proceeds of $3,725,000, (“Private Units”), which is described in Note 4.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 6, 2018, an amount of $149,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will bewas invested in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act untilAct.

 On July 6, 2018, in connection with the earlierunderwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of (i) the consummationan additional 1,950,000 Units, at $10.00 per unit. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s initial Business Combination (ii)common stock, $0.0001 par value, one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) and one right (the “Rights”). Each Warrant entitles the redemption of any sharesholder to purchase one share of common stock included inat an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 7). Each Right entitles the Units being sold that have been properly tendered in connection with a stockholder voteholder to amend the Company’s certificatereceive one tenth (1/10) of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such sharesone share of common stock if it does not completeupon the Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing (“Combination Period”); and (iii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claimcompletion of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has agreed that he will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. There can be no assurance that he will be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for franchise and income taxes and up to $125,000 of interest on an annual basis for working capital purposes to pay Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) continued listing fees, auditor fees, and trust/custodian administration fees.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

 

Proposed Business Combination

On November 8, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Allegro Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, TGIF Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), TGIF Midco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Midco”), and Rohit Manocha, solely in his capacity as the initial representative of the equityholders of Holdings and Midco.

On March 31, 2020, the Company and Holdings mutually determined, due to extraordinary market conditions and the failure to meet necessary closing conditions, to terminate the Merger Agreement.

TheAs previously disclosed, on March 26, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Charter”) to extend the time by which the Company after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a targethas to complete an initial business is requiredcombination from March 31, 2020 to provide stockholders who acquired shares of common stock sold as partApril 30, 2020. However, in light of the units in this offering (“Public Shares”) with the opportunity to convert their Public Shares for a pro rata sharetermination of the Trust Account. In the event that stockholders owning upMerger Agreement and due to approximately 93.33% or more of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. The actual percentages, however, will only be able to be determined once a target business is located andextraordinary market conditions, the Company can assess alldetermined on March 31, 2020 that it would not so amend its Charter.

Going Concern

As of the assets and liabilities of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination, subject to the requirement thatSeptember 30, 2020, the Company must have at least $5,000,001had a cash balance of net tangible assets upon close$61,306 and a working capital deficit of such Business Combination. As a result,$687,267. During the actual percentagesnine month periods ended September 30, 2020, the Company has withdrawn $282,032, of shares that can be converted may be significantly lower thaninterest income to pay its franchise and income taxes and various operating expenses as permitted by the above estimates.trust agreement. The Initial Stockholder will agreecompany has also withdrawn $100,000 to vote any shares they then hold in favor of any Business Combination and will waive any conversion rights with respect to these shares and the shares included in the Private Units pursuant to letter agreements to be executed prior to the Initial Public Offering.

pay dissolution expenses.

 

In connection with any Business Combination, the Company will seek stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Stockholders may seek to convert their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination, any Public Stockholder voting either for or against such Business Combination will be entitled to demand that his Public Shares be converted into a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay its taxes). Holders of warrants and rights sold as part of the Units will not be entitled to vote on the Business Combination and will have no conversion or liquidation rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants or rights.

The Company will consummate a Business Combination only if holders of less than approximately 93.33% due to the full exercise of the overallotment option of the Public Shares, subject to adjustment as described above, elect to convert their shares to a full or pro-rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted, are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company will provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to an aggregate of more than 20% of the Public Shares (but only with respect to the amount over 20% of the Public Shares). A “group” will be deemed to exist if Public Stockholders (i) file a Schedule 13D or 13G indicated.

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be in effect upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 18 months from the date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of common stock and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate. If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination and is forced to redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, any holder that voted against the last Business Combination prior to such redemption will only receive $10.00 per share, while any holder that voted in favor of the last Business Combination prior to such redemption will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay any of its taxes. Holders of warrants will receive no proceedsaddition, in connection with the liquidation. The Initial StockholderCompany’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management has determined that the liquidity, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the holdersCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of Private Units will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their initial shares and Private Units, includingassets or liabilities should the common stock included in the Private Units.

If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects that the initial per-share redemption price for common stock will be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the Company’s common stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption price may be less than approximately $10.00.

Emerging Growth CompanyPrinciples of Consolidation

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”)Company include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Allegro Merger Sub, Inc., as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”),a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 7, 2019. All inter-company accounts and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements thattransactions are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensationeliminated in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.consolidation. 

 

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class ofMarketable securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differencesheld in accountant standards used.Trust Account

Use of EstimatesCommon stock subject to possible redemption

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred through June 30, 2018 that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (see Note 3).

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxesits common stock shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 740”ASC”). ASC 740 requires Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemptions (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the recognitioncontrol of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impactholder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of differences betweenuncertain events not solely within the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefitCompany’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be derived from tax lossoutside of the Company’s control and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowancesubject to be established when it is more likely than notoccurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, pursuant to the Charter, all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returnswere included in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognitionunits sold in the Company’s financial statements asinitial public offering (the “Public Shares”) were redeemed on April 21, 2020 at a per share redemption price of June 30, 2018 andapproximately $10.30 per Public Share (the “Redemption Amount”).

possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

 

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Net LossIncome (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “EarningsEarnings Per Share.Share.” Net lossincome per share is computed by dividing net lossincome applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding duringfor the period.

As a result, diluted lossearnings per share is the same as basic lossearnings per share for the periods presented.period.

 

Fair ValueThe Company’s consolidated statements of Financial Instruments

The fair valueoperations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted for Public Shares is calculated dividing the net income of $44,905 and $1,734,471, reduced by the investment income on the trust and other income of $356,167 and $2,618,254 respectively, by the weighted average number of Public Shares outstanding during the period.

We incurred offering costs of approximately $340,000 as of June 30, 2018 with regard toevent that the Initial Public Offering, which are classified as deferred offering costs on the unaudited condensed balance sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, at June 30, 2018, we had $8,698 in cash and a working capital deficiency of approximately $316,000. Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, we had approximately $766,000 in cash held outside of the Trust Account.

Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report, on July 6, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 1,950,000 units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ overallotment option, generating gross proceeds of $149,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 372,500 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to certain holders of the Company’s founder shares (“Initial Stockholders”), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Chardan Capital Markets LLC (the “Insiders”), generating gross proceeds of $3,725,000.

We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of our common stock upon the consummation of our initial business combination atdoes not close, we may use a per-share price, payable in cash, equal toportion of the aggregate amount then on deposit inworking capital held outside the trust account described below, including interest earned on theto repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes as well as up to $125,000 of interest on an annual basiswould be used for certain working capital purposes described in this prospectus, dividedsuch repayment. Such loans would be evidenced by the number of then outstanding shares of common stock that were sold as part of the units in this offering, which we refer to as our public shares, subject to the limitations described in this prospectus. If we are unable to consummate a business combination within 18 months from the completion of this offering, we will redeem the public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, up to $125,000 of interest on an annual basis for certain working capital purposes described in this prospectus, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described herein.


Based on the foregoing, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our needs through the earlier of consummation of a business combination or twelve months from the date of this filing. Over this time period, we willpromissory notes. The notes would either be using these funds for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the trust account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public sharespaid upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case wewithout interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of the notes may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with thebe converted upon consummation of our initial business combination.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $687,267. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Our plans to raise capital or to consummate the initial business combination ifmay not be successful. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instrument and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as discussed in our final prospectus and CurrentAnnual Report on Form 8-K10-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2018 and July 12, 2018, respectively.February 19, 2020. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2018,2020, and December 31, 20172019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.obligations other than administrative services agreement.


JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2018,2020, and December 31, 2019, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk.  Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the trust account, may be invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
