TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PACIFIC SPECIAL ACQUISITION CORP.:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting in lieu of the 2017 annual meeting of the shareholders of Pacific Special Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “Pacific”) to be held at 11:30 a.m., local time, at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11thFloor, New York, New York 10105, on April 19, 2017, for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals:

To amend the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination (the “Termination Date”) from April 20, 2017 (the “Current Termination Date”) to August 21, 2017 or such earlier date as determined by the Board (the “Extended Termination Date”), and provide that the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination would similarly be extended by amending the Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete the existing Regulation 23.2 of the Articles of Association and replacing it with the new Regulation 23.2 in the form set forth in Annex A (the “Extension Amendment”);

To amend the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated October 14, 2015 (the “trust agreement”) by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “trustee”) to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account (“trust account”) established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date by amending the trust agreement in the form set forth in Annex B (the “Trust Amendment”);

To re-elect each of the three directors identified herein to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), with such directors to serve until the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

To ratify the selection by the Company’s audit committee of Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2017; and

To direct the chairman of the special meeting to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve any of the foregoing proposals.

No other business shall be transacted at the special meeting.

The Board has fixed the close of business on March 21, 2017 as the date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s outstanding shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the special meeting or any adjournment. On the record date, there were 7,719,375 outstanding shares, including 5,750,000 outstanding public shares.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow the Company more time to complete the transactions providing for the merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Borqs International Holding Corp., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“Borqs”). We refer to such acquisition by us hereafter as the “Business Combination.” The Business Combination is described further in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 3, 2017, and in the preliminary proxy statement initially filed with the SEC on February 13, 2017.

The proposed transaction with Borqs qualifies as a “business combination” under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, which currently provides that if the Company does not consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date, the Company will redeem all public shares for their pro rata portions of the trust account and, promptly following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate. As explained below, it is likely the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination by the Current Termination Date. The Company believes that, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed business combination with Borqs, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider the proposed business combination with Borqs. The Board is therefore proposing an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date, and proposing to make other corresponding changes in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the trust agreement in order to permit the actions contemplated by the extension of the Termination Date.

The approval of both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are essential to the implementation of the Board’s plan to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination. Therefore, the Board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. In all events, notwithstanding shareholder approval of both amendments, the Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment or both at any time without any further action by shareholders.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved, and a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining holders of shares and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the company, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. In connection with our redemption of 100% of our outstanding public shares for a portion of the funds held in the trust account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (less the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us for our working capital requirements or necessary to pay our taxes payable on such funds. Holders of rights or warrants will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights or warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company would expect to pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust fund or available to the Company from interest income on the trust account balance.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs at this time. If you are a public shareholder, you will have the right to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs when it is submitted to shareholders.

Public shareholders may elect to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment (the “Election”), regardless of how such public shareholders vote in regard to those amendments or otherwise at the special meeting. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001. The Company believes that such redemption right protects the Company’s public shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable acquisition in the timeframe contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association. If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders (and not abandoned), the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account upon consummation of the proposed business combination with Borqs when it is submitted to the shareholders, subject to any limitations set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the limitations contained in the Merger Agreement described in the accompanying proxy statement under the heading “The Potential Business Combination with Borqs” and related agreements. In addition, public shareholders who vote for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to redemption if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date. Each redemption of shares by our public shareholders will decrease the amount in our trust account, which held approximately $59,800,000 as of March 30, 2017.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must affirmatively vote either for or against the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and demand that the Company redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, and tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the special meeting (or Monday, April 17, 2017). A redemption demand may be made by checking the box on the proxy card provided for that purpose and returning the proxy card in accordance with the instructions provided, and, at the same time, ensuring your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified elsewhere herein. You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

In considering whether to approve the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, the Company’s shareholders should be aware that if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the Company will incur substantial expenses in seeking to complete the proposed business combination with Borqs, in addition to expenses incurred in proposing the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. Our sponsor has issued a promissory note to the Company in an amount up to $500,000. The Company has drawn down the entire $500,000 as of the date of this proxy statement. The note becomes due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination. The principal amount of the note is convertible, in whole or in part, at the payee’s election, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit. These units will be identical to the private units issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO. If we do not have sufficient funds available to conduct the normal operations of the business or to consummate the proposed business combination, we will need to seek additional working capital from our sponsor for these purposes. If we consummate an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment, other than interest on such proceeds.

If the Extension Amendment is approved, our sponsor has agreed to contribute to us as a loan $0.025 for each public share that is not redeemed, for each calendar month (commencing on April 20, 2017 and on the 20th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by Pacific to complete the Merger or another business combination from April 20, 2017 (the date by which Pacific is currently required to complete its business combination) until the Extended Termination Date (the “Contribution”). For example, if Pacific takes until August 21, 2017 to complete its business combination, which would represent four calendar months, Pacific’s insiders would make aggregate Contributions of approximately $575,000 (assuming no public shares were redeemed) (the “Contribution”). Each Contribution will be deposited in the trust account established in connection with the IPO within seven calendar days from the beginning of such calendar month (or portion thereof). Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved and the Extension is implemented and Pacific takes the full time through the Extended Termination Date to complete the initial business combination, the redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or Pacific’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.50 per share, in comparison to the current redemption amount of $10.40 per share (assuming no public shares were redeemed). The Contribution is conditional upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment. The Contribution will not occur if the Extension Amendment is not approved or the Extension is not completed. The amount of the Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination. If our sponsor advises us that it does not intend to make the Contribution, then the Extension Amendment and the Adjournment Proposal will not be put before the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with our charter. Our sponsor will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Termination Date.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and has declared them advisable, and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment and “FOR” the Trust Amendment. In addition, the Board recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the proposal regarding the re-election of each of the three directors identified herein to the Board, “FOR” the ratification of Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2017 and “FOR” the proposal to direct the chairman of the special meeting to adjourn the special meeting.

Enclosed is the proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment and the other proposals to be considered at the special meeting. We are providing the proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card to our shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. The proxy statement is dated March 31, 2017 and is first being mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about March 31, 2017 along with a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016.

Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge you to read the proxy statement carefully and to vote your shares. Your vote is very important. If you are a registered shareholder, please vote your shares as soon as possible by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the special meeting. If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals to be considered at the special meeting.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Dated: March 31, 2017

Q. Why is the Company proposing to amend its Memorandum and Articles of Association and the trust agreement?A.

The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, with a focus on operating businesses that have their primary operations located in Asia (with an emphasis on China).

On December 27, 2016, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Borqs International Holding Corp, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“Borqs”), PAAC Merger Subsidiary Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific (“Merger Sub”), Zhengqi International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined below) for the shareholders of Pacific other than the shareholders of Borqs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and their successors and assignees (the “Purchaser Representative”), Zhengdong Zou, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the shareholders of Borqs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Seller Representative”), and for certain limited purposes thereof, Zhengqi International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “Sponsor”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Borqs, with Borqs continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the consummation of the Merger, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the holders of Borqs issued and outstanding capital shares will receive ordinary shares, no par value, of Pacific (“Pacific Ordinary Shares”), the holders of Borqs issued and outstanding warrants will receive replacement warrants to acquire Pacific Ordinary Shares (“Replacement Warrants”), and the holders of Borqs issued and outstanding options will have their options assumed by Pacific and will instead acquire Pacific Ordinary Shares upon exercise of such options (such options, the “Assumed Options”).

Borqs is a global leader in software, development services and products providing customizable, differentiated and scalable Android-based smart connected devices and cloud service solutions. Borqs is a leading provider of commercial grade Android platform software for mobile chipset manufacturers, smart device OEMs and mobile operators, as well as complete product solutions of mobile connected devices for enterprise and consumer applications.

On February 13, 2017, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement to seek shareholder approval of the proposed business combination with Borqs.
The proposed business combination with Borqs qualifies as a “business combination” under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Memorandum and Articles of Association currently provides that if the business combination is not completed by the Current Termination Date, the Company will redeem all public shares and promptly thereafter dissolve and liquidate. As explained below, it is likely the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination by the Current Termination Date given the date the Merger Agreement  was signed and the actions that must occur prior to closing.
The Company believes the proposed business combination with Borqs would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and because it is likely the Company will not be able to conclude the proposed business combination with Borqs by the Current Termination Date, the Company has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the time for completion of the business combination from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date.

The Company believes that, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed business combination with Borqs, circumstances warrant providing shareholders an opportunity to consider the proposed business combination with Borqs.

Holders of public shares may elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment regardless of how such public shareholders vote in regard to those amendments. The Company believes that such redemption right protects the Company’s public shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable acquisition in the timeframe contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs at this time. If you are a public shareholder, you will have the right to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs when it is submitted to shareholders.
Q. Why should I vote for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment?A.

The approval of both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are essential to the implementation of the Board’s plan to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination.

Since the completion of its IPO, the Company has been dealing with many of the practical difficulties associated with the identification of a business combination target, negotiating business terms, conducting related due diligence and obtaining the necessary audited financial statements. From the date of our IPO, we and our representatives identified and evaluated over 80 potential acquisition target companies; participated in in-person or telephonic discussions with representatives of approximately 50 potential acquisition targets (other than Borqs); provided initial non-binding indications of interest to four potential acquisition targets (other than Borqs) or their representatives; and submitted letters of intent and conducted confirmatory due diligence with respect to four potential acquisition targets (other than Borqs).

Initial discussions between the Company and Borqs’ management commenced in October 2015. From October 2015 to July 2016, the Company, while also involved in due diligence activities, engaged in negotiations with Borqs on the terms of the agreement to govern the business combination. The parties entered into the Merger Agreement on December 27, 2016.

As the Company believes the proposed business combination with Borqs would be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders, and because it is likely the Company will not be able to conclude the proposed business combination with Borqs by the Current Termination Date, the Company has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the time for closing a business combination beyond the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date. The particular changes required to effectuate this extension are embodied in the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Q. How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote?A.After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment and “FOR” the Trust Amendment. In addition, the Board recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR”the re-election of each of the three directors identified in the proxy statement to the Board and “FOR” directing the ratification of Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2017.
Q. Who may vote at the special meeting?A.The Board has fixed the close of business on March 21, 2017 as the date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s outstanding shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the special meeting or any adjournment.

3

Q. How many votes must be present to hold the special meeting?A.A quorum of 50% of the Company’s shares outstanding as of the record date, present in person or by proxy, will be required to conduct the special meeting.
Q. How many votes do I have?A.You are entitled to cast one vote at the special meeting for each share you held as of March 21, 2017, the record date for the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 7,719,375 outstanding shares, including 5,750,000 outstanding public shares.
Q. What is the proxy card?A.The proxy card enables you to appoint the representatives named on the card to vote your shares at the special meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. That way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the special meeting. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, it is strongly recommended that you complete and return your proxy card before the special meeting date, in case your plans change.

Q. What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?A.

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Company sent the proxy materials directly to you.

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, nominee or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the special meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are contained in a “voting instruction form” containing information substantially similar to the information set forth on the proxy card.

Q. How do the Company’s insiders intend to vote their shares?A.All of the Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates as well as other shareholders of the Company are expected to vote any shares (including any public shares owned by them) in favor of the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment and the other proposals set forth herein. On the record date, these shareholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 1,935,171 of the Company’s shares, representing approximately 25.07% of the Company’s outstanding shares.
Q. What vote is required to adopt each of the proposals?A.The affirmative vote of 65% or more of the Company’s shares present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting and voting on the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment will be required to approve the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. Each of the three directors identified herein shall be re-elected to the Board if the proposal to elect the relevant director is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and voting on the proposal. Approval of the proposal to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and to direct the chairman of the special meeting to adjourn the special meeting requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and voting on the proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, but will have no effect on the approval of the proposals.
Q. When would the Board abandon the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment?A.The Board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. In all events, notwithstanding shareholder approval of both amendments, the Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment or both at any time without any further action by shareholders.
Q. What if I don’t want the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment to be approved?A.

If you do not want the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment to be approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote against such proposals. You will be entitled to redeem your shares for cash in connection with this vote only if you vote for or against each of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and elect to redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment (the “Election”). If you do not make the Election, you will retain your right to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account if the proposed business combination with Borqs is approved and completed, subject to any limitations set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the limitations contained in the Merger Agreement described below in “The Potential Business Combination with Borqs” and related agreements.

4

In addition, public shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to redemption if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date.
If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned) and you exercise your redemption right with respect to your public shares, you will no longer own your public shares once the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment become effective.
Q. What happens if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment aren’t approved?A.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved, and a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining holders of shares and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the company, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

In connection with our redemption of 100% of our outstanding public shares for a portion of the funds held in the trust account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (less the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us for our working capital requirements or necessary to pay our taxes payable on such funds. Holders of rights or warrants will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights or warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company would expect to pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust fund or available to the Company from interest income on the trust account balance.

Q. If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved, what happens next?A.The Company is working to complete the proxy process relating to the proposed business combination with Borqs, which will involve:
-      completing proxy materials;
-      establishing a meeting date and record date for considering the proposed business combination, and distributing proxy materials to shareholders; and
-      holding a special meeting to consider the proposed business combination.

If shareholders approve the proposed business combination with Borqs, the Company expects to consummate the business combination as soon as possible following shareholder approval.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the removal of funds in connection with any redemptions from the trust account may significantly reduce the amount remaining in the trust account, and increase the percentage interest of the Company’s shares held by the Company’s directors, officers and senior advisors.

5

Q. How do I exercise my redemption rights?A.To exercise your redemption rights, you must affirmatively vote either for or against the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and demand that the Company redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, and tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the special meeting (or Monday, April 17, 2017). A redemption demand may be made by checking the box on the proxy card provided for that purpose and returning the proxy card in accordance with the instructions provided, and, at the same time, ensuring your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified elsewhere herein. You will only be entitled to receive cash in connection with a redemption of these shares if you continue to hold them until the effective date of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.
In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, by two business days prior to the special meeting (or Monday, April 17, 2017) or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares.
Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures by two business days prior to the special meeting (or Monday, April 17, 2017) will not be redeemed for cash. In the event that a public shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the special meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the special meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above.
Q. Would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights if I vote against or abstain from voting on the Extension Amendment or Trust Amendment?A.Public shareholders may elect to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment regardless of how such public shareholders vote in regard to those amendments or otherwise at the special meeting. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001.  If you abstain from voting on the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment, then you will not be eligible to redeem your shares.  To exercise your redemption rights, you must affirmatively vote either for or against the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and demand that the Company redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, and tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the vote (or Monday, April 17, 2017). A redemption demand may be made by checking the box on the proxy card provided for that purpose and returning the proxy card in accordance with the instructions provided, and, at the same time, ensuring your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified elsewhere herein. You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.
Q. What will happen to my warrants or rights if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved?A.If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), holders of public warrants will continue to have five years from the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination to exercise such warrants. In addition, each holder of a right will be entitled to receive one-tenth of a share upon consummation of our initial business combination. If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved, the Company’s warrants and rights will expire worthless.

Q. What is the deadline for voting my shares?A.If you are a shareholder of record, you may mark, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card, which must be received before the special meeting, in order for your shares to be voted at the special meeting. If you are a beneficial owner, please read the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker, trust or other nominee for information on the deadline for voting your shares.

6

Q. Is my vote confidential?A.Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying shareholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.
Q. Where will I be able to find the voting results of the special meeting?A.We will announce preliminary voting results at the special meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company is required to file with the SEC within four business days following the special meeting.
Q. Who bears the cost of soliciting proxies?A.The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form and will reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses involved in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners or soliciting their execution. In addition to solicitations by mail, the Company, through its directors and officers, may solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by electronic means. Such directors and officers will not receive any special remuneration for these efforts. We have retained Morrow Sodali LLC to assist us in soliciting proxies for a nominal fee plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
Q: How can I submit my proxy or voting instruction form?A.Whether you are a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the special meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may submit a proxy to direct how your shares are voted at the special meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Your proxy can be submitted by completing, signing and dating the proxy card you received with this proxy statement and then mailing it in the enclosed prepaid envelope. If you are a beneficial owner, you must submit voting instructions to your bank, broker, trust or other nominee in order to authorize how your shares are voted at the special meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Please follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker, trust or other nominee.
Submitting a proxy or voting instruction form will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the special meeting. However, if your shares are held in the “street name” of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must obtain a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee to vote in person at the meeting. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.
Q. How do I change my vote?A.

If you have submitted a proxy card to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company’s secretary prior to the date of the special meeting or by voting in person at the meeting. Attendance at the meeting alone will not change your vote.

If your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, bank or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting instruction form provided to you by the broker, bank or other nominee. If your shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend the special meeting and vote at the special meeting, you must bring to the special meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

The Company

The Company is a blank check company organized as a corporation under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on July 1, 2015. It was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On October 20, 2015, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 5,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one ordinary share, no par value per share (“share”), one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share upon consummation of an initial business combination and one warrant to purchase one-half of one share at an exercise price of $10.00 per full share, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). Simultaneously with the consummation of our initial public offering, we completed a private placement of (i) 452,500 units in the aggregate to the lead underwriter and our sponsor at $10.00 per unit, generating total proceeds of $4,775,000. 

On October 23, 2015, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full and purchased 750,000 over-allotment units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000. In addition, on October 23, 2015, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 54,375 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit, of which 45,171 insider units were purchased by our sponsor and 9,204 private units were purchased by the lead underwriter, generating gross proceeds of $543,750.

The Company received total gross proceeds of $62,818,750 from the sale of units in the IPO (including over-allotment units) and all related private placements on October 20, 2015 and October 23, 2015. A total of $59,800,000 from the net proceeds from our initial public offering (including the over-allotment units) and the private placements on October 20, 2015 and October 23, 2015 were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of our public shareholders. We incurred offering costs totaling approximately $2,295,923, consisting of $1,868,750 in underwriting fees and $427,173 of other cash expenses. In addition, funds in the amount of $722,827 were placed in an account outside of the trust account for working capital purposes. Except as discussed in the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, the funds deposited in the trust account and a portion of the interest earned thereon will be released upon consummation of the business combination and used to pay amounts payable to the Company’s public shareholders that exercise their redemption rights. Other than the IPO and the pursuit of a business combination, the Company has not engaged in any business to date.

The Proposed Business Combination with Borqs

On December 27, 2016, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Borqs International Holding Corp, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“Borqs”), PAAC Merger Subsidiary Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific (“Merger Sub”), Zhengqi International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined below) for the shareholders of Pacific other than the shareholders of Borqs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and their successors and assignees (the “Purchaser Representative”), Zhengdong Zou, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the shareholders of Borqs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Seller Representative”), and for certain limited purposes thereof, Zhengqi International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “Sponsor”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Borqs, with Borqs continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the consummation of the Merger, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the holders of Borqs issued and outstanding capital shares will receive ordinary shares, no par value, of Pacific (“Pacific Ordinary Shares”), the holders of Borqs issued and outstanding warrants will receive replacement warrants to acquire Pacific Ordinary Shares (“Replacement Warrants”), and the holders of Borqs issued and outstanding options will have their options assumed by Pacific and will instead acquire Pacific Ordinary Shares upon exercise of Assumed Options.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs at this time. If you are a public shareholder, you will have the right to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs when it is submitted to shareholders.

The Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment

The Extension Amendment

The Company is proposing to amend its Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination (the “Termination Date”) from April 20, 2017 (the “Current Termination Date”) to August 21, 2017 or such earlier date as determined by the Board (the “Extended Termination Date”), and provide that the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination would similarly be extended by amending the Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete the existing Regulation 23.2 of the Articles of Association and replacing it with the new Regulation 23.2 in the form set forth in Annex A.

The Trust Amendment

The Company is proposing to amend and restate the trust agreement to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date by amending the trust agreement in the form set forth in Annex B.

A shareholder’s approval of the Trust Amendment will constitute consent to the use of the Company’s trust account proceeds to pay, at the time the Extension Amendment becomes effective, and in exchange for surrender of shares, pro rata portions of the funds available in the trust account to the public shareholders making the Election in lieu of later distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not Approved

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved and a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining holders of shares and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the company, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. In connection with our redemption of 100% of our outstanding public shares for a portion of the funds held in the trust account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (less the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us for our working capital requirements or necessary to pay our taxes payable on such funds. Holders of rights or warrants will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights or warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company would expect to pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust fund or available to the Company from interest income on the trust account balance.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are Approved

Under the terms of the proposed Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment, public shareholders may make the Election.

If the Extension Amendment is approved by sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the shares outstanding as of the record date present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting and voting on the Extension Amendment and not abandoned and the Trust Amendment is approved by sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the shares outstanding as of the record date present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting and voting on the Trust Amendment and not abandoned, the Company will file amended version of the Memorandum and Articles of Association with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands incorporating the amendment to Regulation 23 therein in the form of Annex A hereto and the Company will enter into the Trust Amendment with the trustee substantially in the form of Annex B hereto. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and its units, shares, warrants and rights will remain publicly traded. The Company will then continue to work to consummate a business combination until the Extended Termination Date.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs at this time. If you are a public shareholder, you will have the right to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs when it is submitted to shareholders.

If the Extension Amendment is approved, our sponsor has agreed to contribute to us as a loan $0.025 for each public share that is not redeemed, for each calendar month (commencing on April 20, 2017 and on the 20th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by Pacific to complete the Merger or another business combination from April 20, 2017 (the date by which Pacific is currently required to complete its business combination) until the Extended Termination Date (the “Contribution”). For example, if Pacific takes until August 21, 2017 to complete its business combination, which would represent four calendar months, Pacific’s insiders would make aggregate Contributions of approximately $575,000 (assuming no public shares were redeemed) (the “Contribution”). Each Contribution will be deposited in the trust account established in connection with the IPO within seven calendar days from the beginning of such calendar month (or portion thereof). Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment is approved and the Extension is implemented and Pacific takes the full time through the Extended Termination Date to complete the initial business combination, the redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or Pacific’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.50 per share, in comparison to the current redemption amount of $10.40 per share (assuming no public shares were redeemed). The Contribution is conditional upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment. The Contribution will not occur if the Extension Amendment is not approved or the Extension is not completed. The amount of the Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination. If our sponsor advises us that it does not intend to make the Contribution, then the Extension Amendment and the Adjournment Proposal will not be put before the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with our charter. Our sponsor will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Termination Date. 

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the removal of the funds in connection with the redemption from the trust account may significantly reduce the amount remaining in the trust account and increase the percentage interest of the Company’s shares held by the Company’s directors, officers and senior advisors.

Additionally, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that the Company shall not consummate any business combination if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001, which could be impacted by the reduction in the trust account.

Possible Claims Against and Impairment of the Trust Account

In considering the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, the Company’s shareholders should be aware that if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the Company will incur substantial expenses in seeking to complete the proposed business combination with Borqs, in addition to expenses incurred in proposing the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. Our sponsor has issued a promissory note to the Company in an amount up to $500,000. The Company has drawn down the entire $500,000 as of the date of this proxy statement. The note becomes due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination. The principal amount of the note is convertible, in whole or in part, at the payee’s election, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit. These units will be identical to the private units issued in a private placement in connection with Company’s initial public offering. If we do not have sufficient funds available to conduct the normal operations of the business or to consummate the proposed business combination, we will need to seek additional working capital from our sponsor for these purposes. If we consummate an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment, other than interest on such proceeds.

If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, Mr. Jian Tu, our Chairman, will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to it, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of claims against the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Mr. Tu will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We cannot assure you, however, that, Mr. Tu would be able to satisfy those obligations. With the exception of Mr. Tu as described above, none of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below $10.40 per share and Mr. Tu asserts that he is unable to satisfy his obligations or that he has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine on our behalf whether to take legal action against Mr. Tu to enforce his indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against Mr. Tu to enforce his indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations on our behalf, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public shareholders may be reduced below $10.40 per share. You should read this proxy statement carefully for more information concerning this possibility and other consequences of the adoption of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

The Special Meeting

Date, Time and Place. The special meeting of the Company’s shareholders will be held at 11:30 a.m., local time, at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10105 on April 19, 2017.

Voting Power; Record Date. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting, if you owned the Company’s shares at the close of business on March 21, 2017, the record date for the special meeting. You will have one vote per proposal for each share you owned at that time. The Company’s warrants and rights do not carry voting rights. At the close of business on March 21, 2017, there were 7,719,375 outstanding shares, each of which entitles its holder to cast one vote per proposal.

Votes Required. Approval of the Extension Amendment will require the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s shares outstanding on the record date and voting on the Extension Amendment and approval of the Trust Amendment will require the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s shares outstanding on the record date and voting on the Trust Amendment. Each of the three directors identified herein shall be re-elected to the Board if the proposal to elect the relevant director is approved by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and voting on the proposal. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shares present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting and voting on the proposal will be required to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and to direct the chairman of the special meeting to adjourn the special meeting.

If you do not want the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment to be approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote against such proposals. You will be entitled to redeem your shares for cash in connection with this vote only if you vote for or against each of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and elect to redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment (the “Election”). If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), you will be entitled to redeem your sharesasked to: (1) elect two (2) “Class I” directors, each of whom will be elected for a pro rata portionterm of the funds available in the trust account only if you made the Election. However, if you abstain from voting on the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment, then you will not be eligible to redeem your shares.

If you do not make the Election, you will retain the opportunity to redeem your public shares upon consummation of the proposed business combination with Borqs in connection with a shareholder vote to approve that transaction, subject to any limitations set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the limitations contained in the Merger Agreement described below in “The Potential Business Combination with Borqs” and related agreements. You will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with the expected shareholder vote to approve the proposed business combination with Borqs, or if the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Termination Date. In addition, public shareholders who vote for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to redemption if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date.

Whether or not the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved, if a business combination is not completed by the date specified in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (including any later date if the Extension Amendment is approved and not abandoned), the public shares of such holders will be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association promptly following such date.

Redemption.If you are a public shareholder, you may demand redemption of your shares by checking the box on the proxy card provided for that purpose and returning the proxy card in accordance with the instructions provided, and, at the same time, ensuring your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified herein. You will only be entitled to receive cash for these shares if you continue to hold them until the effective date of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

See the section entitled “Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment — Redemption Procedure” for more information on how to demand redemption of your shares.

Proxies; Board Solicitation. Your proxy is being solicited by the Company’s board of directors to approve the proposals set forth herein to be presented to shareholders at the special meeting. Proxies may be solicited in person or by telephone. If you grant a proxy, you may still revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person at the special meeting.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Shareholders Exercising Redemption Rights

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of the Company’s shares that elect to have their shares redeemed for cash. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Services (the “IRS”) (including administrative interpretations and practices expressed in private letter rulings which are binding on the IRS only with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and received those rulings) and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this summary. This summary does not address any laws other than the United States federal income tax law, such as the U.S. federal estate tax, U.S. state and local tax laws and the tax laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions. This summary does not purport to discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular shareholder in light of its investment or tax circumstances or to shareholders subject to special tax rules, such as:

certain U.S. expatriates;
traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment;
S corporations;
U.S. shareholders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
financial institutions;
mutual funds;
qualified plans, such as 401(k) plans, individual retirement accounts, etc.;
insurance companies;
broker-dealers;
regulated investment companies (or RICs);

real estate investment trusts (or REITs);
persons holding shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment;
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;
persons subject to the Medicare contribution tax imposed under the Code;
tax-exempt organizations;
persons that actually or constructively own 5 percent or more of the Company’s shares; and
Redeeming Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below, and except as otherwise discussed below).

If any partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. This summary does not address any tax consequences to any partnership that holds our securities (or to any direct or indirect partner of such partnership). If you are a partner of a partnership holding the Company’s securities, you should consult your tax advisor. This summary assumes that shareholders hold the Company’s securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, which generally means as property held for investment and not as a dealer or for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the shareholder’s trade or business.

WE URGE HOLDERS OF PACIFIC SHARES CONTEMPLATING EXERCISE OF THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Shareholders

This section is addressed to Redeeming U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Company’s shares that elect to have their shares redeemed for cash as described in the section entitled “Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment — Redemption Procedure.” For purposes of this discussion, a “Redeeming U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner that so redeems its shares and is:

a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
any trust if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust orthree years; (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

Tax Treatment of the Redemption — In General

The balance of the discussion under this heading is subject in its entirety to the discussion below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” If we are considered a “passive foreign investment company” for these purposes (which we will be, unless a “start up” exception applies), then the tax consequences of the redemption will be as outlined in that discussion, below.

A Redeeming U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such shareholder’s adjusted basis in the shares exchanged therefor if the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s ownership of shares is completely terminated or if the redemption meets certain other tests described below. Special constructive ownership rules apply in determining whether a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s ownership of shares is treated as completely terminated (and in general, such Redeeming U.S. Holder may not be considered to have completely terminated its interest if it continues to hold our warrants or rights). If gain or loss treatment applies, such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of such shares is more than one year at the time of the exchange. It is possible that because of the redemption rights associated with our shares, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such redemption (and thus it is possible that long-term capital gain or loss treatment may not apply to shares redeemed in the redemption). Shareholders who hold different blocks of shares (generally, shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them. 

Cash received upon redemption that does not completely terminate the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s interest will still give rise to capital gain or loss, if the redemption is either (i) “substantially disproportionate” or (ii) “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.” In determining whether the redemption is substantially disproportionate or not essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to a Redeeming U.S. Holder, that Redeeming U.S. Holder is deemed to own not just shares actually owned but also shares underlying rights to acquire our shares (including for these purposes our warrants and rights) and, in some cases, shares owned by certain family members, certain estates and trusts of which the Redeeming U.S. Holder is a beneficiary, and certain affiliated entities.

Generally, the redemption will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the Redeeming U.S. Holder if (i) the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares (including all classes which carry voting rights) of the Company is reduced immediately after the redemption to less than 80% of the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s percentage interest in such shares immediately before the redemption; (ii) the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership of the outstanding shares (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the redemption is reduced to less than 80% of such percentage ownership immediately before the redemption; and (iii) the Redeeming U.S. Holder owns, immediately after the redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company entitled to vote. Whether the redemption will be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a Redeeming U.S. Holder will depend upon the particular circumstances of that U.S. Holder. At a minimum, however, the redemption must result in a meaningful reduction in the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s actual or constructive percentage ownership of the Company. The IRS has ruled that any reduction in a shareholder’s proportionate interest is a “meaningful reduction” if the shareholder’s relative interest in the corporation is minimal and the shareholder does not have meaningful control over the corporation.

14

If none of the redemption tests described above give rise to capital gain or loss, the consideration paid to the Redeeming U.S. Holder will be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. However, for the purposes of the dividends-received deduction and of “qualified dividend” treatment, due to the redemption right, a Redeeming U.S. Holder may be unable to include the time period prior to the redemption in the shareholder’s “holding period.” Any distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will reduce the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares (but not below zero), and any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares.

As these rules are complex, U.S. Holders of shares considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be a passive foreign investment company (or “PFIC”) for U.S. tax purposes if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income. Alternatively, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

Because we are a blank check company, with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that we have met the PFIC asset or income test beginning with our initial taxable year ended June 30, 2016. However, pursuant to a start-up exception, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income (in our case, our taxable year ending June 30, 2016), if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year (in our case, our taxable years ending June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018); and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years. The applicability of the start-up exception to us will not be known until after the close of our current taxable year ended June 30, 2017. If we do not complete a business combination on or prior to June 30, 2017 we will not satisfy the start-up exception. If we do not satisfy the start-up exception, we will likely be considered a PFIC since our date of formation, and will continue to be treated as a PFIC until we no longer satisfy the PFIC tests (although, as stated below, in general the PFIC rules would continue to apply to any Redeeming U.S. Holder who held our securities at any time we were considered a PFIC).

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a Redeeming U.S. Holder of our shares, rights or warrants and, in the case of our shares, the Redeeming U.S. Holder did not make either a timely QEF election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) shares or a timely “mark to market” election, in each case as described below, such holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to:

any gain recognized by the Redeeming U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares, rights or warrant (which would include the redemption, if such redemption is treated as a sale under the rules discussed under the heading “— Tax Treatment of the Redemption — In General,” above); and
any “excess distribution” made to the Redeeming U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such Redeeming U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such Redeeming U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such Redeeming U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares), which may include the redemption to the extent such redemption is treated as a distribution under the rules discussed under the heading “— Tax Treatment of the Redemption — In General,” above.

15

Under these special rules,
the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares, rights or warrants;
the amount allocated to the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;
the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the Redeeming U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the Redeeming U.S. Holder; and
the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder.

In general, if we are determined to be a PFIC, a Redeeming U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our shares (but not our rights or warrants) by making a timely QEF election (if eligible to do so) to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends. In general, a QEF election must be made on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing such Redeeming U.S. Holder’s tax return for the taxable year for which the election relates. A Redeeming U.S. Holder may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.

A Redeeming U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its warrants to acquire our shares. As a result, if a Redeeming U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of such warrants (other than upon exercise of such warrants), any gain recognized generally will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above, if we were a PFIC at any time during the period the Redeeming U.S. Holder held the warrants. If a Redeeming U.S. Holder that exercises such warrants properly makes a QEF election with respect to the newly acquired shares (or has previously made a QEF election with respect to our shares), the QEF election will apply to the newly acquired shares, but the adverse tax consequences relating to PFIC shares, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such newly acquired shares (which generally will be deemed to have a holding period for purposes of the PFIC rules that includes the period the Redeeming U.S. Holder held the warrants), unless the Redeeming U.S. Holder makes a purging election. The purging election creates a deemed sale of such shares at their fair market value. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the Redeeming U.S. Holder will have a new basis and holding period in the shares acquired upon the exercise of the warrants for purposes of the PFIC rules.

It is unclear if a Redeeming U.S. Holder would be permitted to make a QEF election with respect to its rights to acquire our shares. The remainder of this paragraph assumes that a QEF election is not available with respect to our rights. As a result, if a Redeeming U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of such rights (other than pursuant to the terms of such rights), any gain recognized generally may be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above, if we were a PFIC at any time during the period the Redeeming U.S. Holder held the rights. If a Redeeming U.S. Holder that receives shares pursuant to such rights properly makes a QEF election with respect to the newly acquired shares (or has previously made a QEF election with respect to our shares), the QEF election will apply to the newly acquired shares, but the adverse tax consequences relating to PFIC shares, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such newly acquired shares (which generally will be deemed to have a holding period for purposes of the PFIC rules that includes the period the Redeeming U.S. Holder held the rights), unless the Redeeming U.S. Holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules. The purging election creates a deemed sale of such shares at their fair market value. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the Redeeming U.S. Holder will have a new basis and holding period in the shares acquired pursuant to the terms of rights for purposes of the PFIC rules.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A QEF election may not be made with respect to our warrants. A Redeeming U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. Redeeming U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

16

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a Redeeming U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from us. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, we will endeavor to provide to a Redeeming U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the Redeeming U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. However, there is no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of our status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided. 

If a Redeeming U.S. Holder has made a QEF election with respect to our shares, and the special tax and interest charge rules do not apply to such shares (because of a timely QEF election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such shares or a purge of the PFIC taint pursuant to a purging election, as described above), any gain recognized on the sale of our shares generally will be taxable as capital gain and no interest charge will be imposed. As discussed above, Redeeming U.S. Holders of a QEF are currently taxed on their pro rata shares of its earnings and profits, whether or not distributed. In such case, a subsequent distribution of such earnings and profits that were previously included in income generally should not be taxable as a dividend to such Redeeming U.S. Holders. The tax basis of a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s shares in a QEF will be increased by amounts that are included in income, and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends, under the above rules. Similar basis adjustments apply to property if by reason of holding such property the Redeeming U.S. Holder is treated under the applicable attribution rules as owning shares in a QEF.

Although a determination as to our PFIC status will be made annually, a determination that we are a PFIC for any particular year will generally apply for subsequent years to a Redeeming U.S. Holder who held shares, rights or warrants while we were a PFIC, whether or not we meet the test for PFIC status in those subsequent years. A Redeeming U.S. Holder who makes the QEF election discussed above for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) our shares and receives the requisite PFIC annual information statement, however, will not be subject to the PFIC tax and interest charge rules discussed above in respect to such shares. In addition, such Redeeming U.S. Holder will not be subject to the QEF inclusion regime with respect to such shares for any taxable year of us that ends within or with a taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder and in which we are not a PFIC. On the other hand, if the QEF election is not effective for each of our taxable years in which we are a PFIC and the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) our shares, the PFIC rules discussed above will continue to apply to such shares unless the holder makes a purging election, as described above, and pays the tax and interest charge with respect to the gain inherent in such shares attributable to the pre-QEF election period.

Alternatively, if a Redeeming U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the Redeeming U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the Redeeming U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) shares and for which we are determined to be a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its shares. Instead, in general, the Redeeming U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its shares. The Redeeming U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value of its shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The Redeeming U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares will be treated as ordinary income. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to our warrants.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Nasdaq Capital Market, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Redeeming U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to our shares under their particular circumstances.

If we are a PFIC and, at any time, have a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, Redeeming U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if we receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of our interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the Redeeming U.S. Holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. We will endeavor to cause any lower-tier PFIC to provide to a Redeeming U.S. Holder the information that may be required to make or maintain a QEF election with respect to the lower-tier PFIC. However, there is no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of the status of any such lower-tier PFIC. In addition, we may not hold a controlling interest in any such lower-tier PFIC and thus there can be no assurance we will be able to cause the lower-tier PFIC to provide the required information. Redeeming U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

17

A Redeeming U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621(whether or not a QEF or market-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department.

The application of the PFIC rules is extremely complex. Shareholders who are considering participating in the redemption and/or selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of their shares, rights and/or warrants should consult with their tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules in their particular circumstances.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Shareholders

This section is addressed to Redeeming Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Company’s shares that elect to have their shares redeemed for cash as described in the section entitled “Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment — Redemption Procedure.” For purposes of this discussion, a “Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that so redeems its shares and is not a Redeeming U.S. Holder.

Except as otherwise discussed in this section, a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder who elects to have its shares redeemed will generally be treated in the same manner as a U.S. shareholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the discussion above under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Shareholders.”

Any Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any capital gain recognized as a result of the exchange unless:

such shareholder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the redemption takes place and certain other conditions are met; or
such shareholder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and any gain recognized in the exchange is treated as effectively connected with such trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such holder in the United States), in which case the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the same treatment as a Redeeming U.S. Holder with respect to the exchange, and a corporate Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

With respect to any redemption treated as a distribution rather than a sale, any amount treated as dividend income to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. Dividends received by a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, such dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), will be taxed as discussed above under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Shareholders.” In addition, dividends received by a corporate Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

RedeemingNon-U.S. Holders of shares considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their shares will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) and U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance thereunder, a 30% United States federal withholding tax may apply to certain income paid to (i) a “foreign financial institution” (as specifically defined in FATCA), whether such foreign financial institution is the beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign financial institution agrees to verify, report and disclose its United States “account” holders (as specifically defined in FATCA) and meets certain other specified requirements or (ii) a non-financial foreign entity, whether such non-financial foreign entity is the beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such entity provides a certification that the beneficial owner of the payment does not have any substantial United States owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each such substantial United States owner and certain other specified requirements are met. In certain cases, the relevant foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity may qualify for an exemption from, or be deemed to be in compliance with, these rules. Redeeming Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding this legislation and whether it may be relevant to their disposition of their shares, rights or warrants.

18

Backup Withholding

In general, proceeds received from the exercise of redemption rights will be subject to backup withholding for a non-corporate Redeeming U.S. Holder that:

fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;
is notified by the IRS regarding a failure to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on his or her federal income tax returns; or
in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

A Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s or Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or refundable to the extent that it exceeds this liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS and other applicable requirements are met.

As previously noted above, the foregoing discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is included for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any shareholder. We once again urge you to consult with your own tax adviser to determine the particular tax consequences to you (including the application and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Company’s Recommendation to Shareholders

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Company’s board of directors has determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders. The board of directors has approved and declared advisable the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, and recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. See the section entitled “Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment — The Board’s Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, its Conclusion, and its Recommendation.”

Interests of the Company’s Officers and Directors

When you consider the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors, you should keep in mind that the Company’s executive officers and members of the Company’s board of directors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment — Interests of the Company’s Officers, Directors and Advisors.”

THE SPECIAL MEETING

The Company is furnishing this proxy statement to its shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the Company’s board of directors for use at the special meeting. This proxy statement provides you with the information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place. The special meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m., local time, at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10105, on April 19, 2017.

Purpose.At the special meeting, holders of the Company’s shares will be asked to approve the following proposals:

To amend the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination (the “Termination Date”) from April 20, 2017 (the “Current Termination Date”) to August 21, 2017 or such earlier date as determined by the Board (the “Extended Termination Date”), and provide that the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination would similarly be extended by amending the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete the existing Regulation 23.2 of the Articles of Association and replacing it with the new Regulation 23.2 in the form set forth in Annex A (the “Extension Amendment”);

To amend the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated October 14, 2015 (the “trust agreement”) by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “trustee”) to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account (“trust account”) established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date by amending the trust agreement in the form set forth in Annex B (the “Trust Amendment”);

To re-elect each of the three directors identified herein to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), with such directors to serve until the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified;

To ratify the selection by the Company’s audit committee of Marcum LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2017; and

To direct the chairman of the special meeting to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve any of the foregoing proposals.

Each proposal of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are essential to the overall implementation of the board of directors’ plan to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination, and, therefore, the Company’s board of directors will abandon the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment unless both are approved by shareholders. Notwithstanding shareholder approval of all proposals, the Company’s board of directors will retain the right to abandon and not effect the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time prior to its effectiveness without any further action by shareholders.

A shareholder’s approval of the Trust Amendment will constitute consent to the use of the Company’s trust account proceeds to pay, at the time the Extension Amendment becomes effective, and in exchange for surrender of shares, pro rata portions of the funds available in the trust account to the public shareholders making the Election in lieu of later distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled. 

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders. The Board has approved and declared advisable the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, and recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption of the Extension Amendment and “FOR” the adoption of the Trust Amendment. The Board also recommends that you vote “FOR” re-electing each nominee identified herein for director and “FOR” the ratification of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Because of the business combination provisions of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, if the proposed business combination with Borqs is not completed by the Current Termination Date, the Company will redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, unless shareholders approve the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

20

The special meeting has been called only to consider approval of the proposals set forth herein. No other business shall be transacted at the special meeting.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs at this time. If you are a public shareholder, you will have the right to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs when it is submitted to shareholders.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote. The record date for the special meeting is March 21, 2017. Record holders of the Company’s shares at the close of business on the record date are entitled to vote or have their votes cast at the special meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were 7,719,375 outstanding shares (including 5,750,000 outstanding public shares), each of which entitles its holder to cast one vote per proposal.

Vote Required. Approval of the Extension Amendment will require the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s shares outstanding as of the record date and voting on the Extension Amendment. Approval of the Trust Amendment will require the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s shares outstanding as of the record date and voting on the Trust Amendment. Each of the three directors identified herein shall be re-elected to the Board if the proposal to re-elect the relevant director is approved by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and voting on this proposal. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shares present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting and voting on this proposal will be required to ratify the selectionappointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firmErnst and to direct the chairman of the special meeting to adjourn the special meeting.

The Company believes that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed business combination with Borqs, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider the proposed business combination with Borqs. However, the Company’s IPO prospectus stated that if the effect of any proposed amendments to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, if adopted, would delay the date on which a shareholder could otherwise redeem shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, the Company will provide that, if such amendments are approved by holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s shares voting on such amendments, dissenting public shareholders will have the right to redeem their public shares. Accordingly, holders of public shares may elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment regardless of how such public shareholders vote. The Company believes that such redemption right protects the Company’s public shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable acquisition in the timeframe contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001.

All public shareholders may make the Election. If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders and not abandoned, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account upon consummation of the proposed business combination with Borqs, subject to any limitations set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and limitations agreed to in the Merger Agreement or related agreements. In addition, public shareholders who vote for the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment and do not make the election would be entitled to redemption if the Company has not completed the proposed business combination with Borqs by the Extended Termination Date. 

A shareholder’s approval of the Trust Amendment will constitute consent to the use of the Company’s trust account proceeds to pay, at the time the Extension Amendment becomes effective, and in exchange for surrender of shares, pro rata portions of the funds available in the trust account to the public shareholders making the Election in lieu of later distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled.

Abstentions will have no effect on the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment or the other proposals in this proxy statement.

The Company’s board of directors believes the current shareholders are not prejudiced by the proposed Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment since all holders of public shares are concurrently being offered the opportunity to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account.

All of the Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates as well as other shareholders of the Company are expected to vote any shares (including any public shares owned by them) in favor of the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment and the other proposals set forth herein. On the record date, these shareholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 1,935,171 shares, representing approximately 25.07% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

21

Voting Your Shares. Each share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote per proposal. Your proxy card shows the number of shares you own.

If you are a shareholder with shares registered in your name, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by proxy card by completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided.

If your shares are held in the “street name” of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must obtain a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee to vote in person at the meeting. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy and Changing Your Vote. If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company’s secretary prior to the date of the special meeting or by voting in person at the meeting. Attendance at the meeting alone will not change your vote. You also may revoke your proxy delivering to the Company’s Secretary at c/o 855 Pudong South Road, The World Plaza, 27th Floor, Pudong, Shanghai, China, a written notice of revocation prior to the special meeting. If your shares are held in “street name,” consult your broker for instructions on how to revoke your proxy or change your vote.

Broker Non-Votes. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not give the broker voting instructions, your broker will not be permitted to vote your shares on the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment or the re-election of each of the three directors. This is known as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment or the direction for election of the directors.

Questions About Voting. The Company has retained Morrow to assist it in the solicitation of proxies. If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares, you may contact Morrow at (800) 662-5200 or PAAC.info@morrowsodali.com. You may also want to consult your financial and other advisors about the vote.

Solicitation Costs. The Company is soliciting proxies on behalf of the Company’s board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made in person. The Company and its respective directors, officers, employees and consultants may also solicit proxies in person or by mail. The Company has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $15,000 and expenses for its services in connection with the special meeting in lieu of annual meeting.

The Company will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. The Company will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Stock Ownership. Information concerning the holdings of certain of the Company’s shareholders is set forth below under “Beneficial Ownership of Securities.”

22

THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT

The Company is proposing to amend its Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination (the “Termination Date”) from April 20, 2017 (the “Current Termination Date”) to August 21, 2017 or such earlier date as determined by the Board (the “Extended Termination Date”), and provide that the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination would similarly be extended by amending the Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete the existing Regulation 23.2 of the Articles of Association and replacing it with the new Regulation 23.2 in the form set forth in Annex A to this proxy statement.

Each proposal of the Extension Amendment is essential to the overall implementation of the board of directors’ plan to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination. The implementation of such proposals is conditioned on the approval of the Trust Amendment proposal, and, therefore, the Company’s board of directors will abandon the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment unless each of the above proposals and the Trust Amendment are approved by shareholders. Notwithstanding shareholder approval of all proposals, the Company’s board of directors will retain the right to abandon and not effect the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time prior to its effectiveness without any further action by shareholders. 

A copy of the proposed new Regulation 23.2 of the Articles of Association of the Company, that will replace the existing Regulation 23.2, is annexed to this proxy statement as Annex A. If Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved, the Company will file an amended form of the Memorandum and Articles of Association with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote by holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s outstanding shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and voting on the Extension Amendment, is required to approve the Extension Amendment.

23

THE TRUST AMENDMENT

The Company is proposing to amend and restate the Company’s trust agreement to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date by amending the trust agreement in the form set forth in Annex B.

The Trust Amendment is essential to the overall implementation of the board of directors’ plan to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination. The implementation of such proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Extension Amendment proposal, and, therefore, the Company’s board of directors will abandon the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment unless each of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is approved by shareholders. Notwithstanding shareholder approval of all proposals, the Company’s board of directors will retain the right to abandon and not effect the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time prior to its effectiveness without any further action by shareholders.

A shareholder’s approval of the Trust Amendment will constitute consent to the use of the Company’s trust account proceeds to pay, at the time the Extension Amendment becomes effective, and in exchange for surrender of shares, pro rata portions of the funds available in the trust account to the public shareholders making the Election in lieu of later distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled. 

A copy of the proposed amendment to the trust agreement is set forth in Annex B.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote by holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s outstanding shares present in person or by proxy and voting on the Trust Amendment, is required to approve the Trust Amendment.

24

REASONS FOR THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT

The Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association currently provides that if a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining holders of shares and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the company, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

In connection with our redemption of 100% of our outstanding public shares for a portion of the funds held in the trust account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (less the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us for our working capital requirements or necessary to pay our taxes payable on such funds. Holders of rights or warrants will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights or warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company would expect to pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust fund or available to the Company from interest income on the trust account balance.

The trust agreement provides that, unless a business combination is consummated by the Current Termination Date, the trustee would be required to commence liquidation on the Current Termination Date. Moreover, the trust agreement provides that funds may be withdrawn from the trust account only upon consummation of an initial business combination, in connection with the failure of the Company to consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date or other limited purposes. The Trust Amendment is necessary to extend the period for the Company to consummate a business combination from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date and to permit the withdrawal and distribution of the funds to public shareholders who properly demand redemption in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Our sponsor and the initial shareholders have each waived their respective redemption rights with respect to their shares if we fail to consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our rights or warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company would expect to pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust fund or available to the Company from interest income on the trust account balance. In considering the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, the Company’s board of directors came to the conclusion that the potential benefits of the proposed business combination with Borqs to the Company and its shareholders outweighed the possibility of any liability as a result of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Since the completion of its IPO, the Company has been dealing with many of the practical difficulties associated with the identification of a business combination target, negotiating business terms with potential targets, conducting related due diligence and obtaining the necessary audited financial statements. Commencing promptly upon completion of its IPO, the Company began to search for an appropriate business combination target. During the process, it relied on numerous business relationships and contacted investment bankers, private equity funds, consulting firms, and legal and accounting firms. During that period, we and our representatives, identified and evaluated over 80 potential acquisition target companies, participated in in-person or telephonic discussions with representatives of approximately 50 potential acquisition targets (other than Borqs), provided initial non-binding indications of interest to four potential acquisition targets (other than Borqs) or its representatives; and submitted letters of intent and conducted confirmatory due diligence with respect to four potential acquisition targets (other than Borqs).

The proposed business combination with Borqs qualifies as a “business combination” under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, but it is likely the Company will not be able to complete that transaction by the Current Termination Date. 

As the Company believes the proposed business combination with Borqs would be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders, and because it is likely the Company will not be able to conclude the proposed business combination with Borqs by the Current Termination Date, the Company has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the time for closing a business combination beyond the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date.

25

The Company believes that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed business combination with Borqs, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider the proposed business combination with Borqs. However, the Company’s IPO prospectus stated that if the effect of any proposed amendments to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, if adopted, would be to delay the date on which a shareholder could otherwise redeem shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, the Company will provide that, if such amendments are approved by holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s shares voting on such amendments, dissenting public shareholders will have the right to redeem their public shares. Accordingly, holders of public shares may elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Agreement regardless of how such public shareholders vote. The Company believes that such redemption right protects the Company’s public shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable acquisition in the timeframe contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

All public shareholders may make the Election. If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders and not abandoned, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account upon consummation of the proposed business combination with Borqs, subject to any limitations set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and limitations agreed to in the Merger Agreement or related agreements. In addition, public shareholders who vote for the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to redemption if the Company has not completed the proposed business combination with Borqs by the Extended Termination Date. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001.

As noted in “Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment — Possible Claims Against and Impairment of the Trust Account,” below, the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment will result in the Company incurring additional transaction expenses. The Company’s board of directors believes that, if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned) and no material liabilities are sought to be satisfied from the trust account, any resulting redemptions would have no adverse effect on the public shareholders because they would receive approximately the same amounts they would have received if the Company had redeemed all public shares in connection with the failure to consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date, and, if the Company is not able to consummate a business combination prior to the Extended Termination Date, its public shareholders at that time would receive approximately the same redemption proceeds as if they had redeemed all public shares in connection with the failure to consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date.

However, if material liabilities are sought to be satisfied from the trust account, the trust account could possibly be reduced or subject to reduction beyond the reduction resulting from public shareholder redemptions, which could result in the reduction of a public shareholder’s current pro rata portion of the trust account available for distribution. Moreover, attendant litigation could result in delay in the availability of trust account funds for use by the Company upon completion of the business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company is not aware of any such liabilities.

A shareholder’s approval of the Trust Amendment will constitute consent to the use of the Company’s trust account proceeds to pay, at the time the Extension Amendment becomes effective, and in exchange for surrender of shares, pro rata portions of the funds available in the trust account to the public shareholders making the Election in lieu of later distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled.  

Possible Claims Against and Impairment of the Trust Account

In considering the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, the Company’s shareholders should be aware that if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the Company will incur substantial expenses in seeking to complete the proposed business combination with Borqs, in addition to expenses incurred in proposing the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. Our sponsor has issued a promissory note to the Company in an amount up to $500,000. The Company has drawn down the entire $500,000 as of the date of this proxy statement. The note becomes due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination. The principal of the note is convertible, in whole or in part, at the payee’s election, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit. These units will be identical to the private units issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO. If we do not have sufficient funds available to conduct the normal operations of the business or to consummate the proposed business combination, we will need to seek additional working capital from our sponsor for these purposes. If we consummate an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment, other than interest on such proceeds.

26

If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, Mr. Jian Tu, our Chairman, will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to it, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of claims against the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter in our IPO. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Mr. Tu will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We cannot assure you, however, that, Mr. Tu would be able to satisfy those obligations. With the exception of Mr. Tu as described above, none of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below $10.40 per share and Mr. Tu asserts that he is unable to satisfy his obligations or that he has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine on our behalf whether to take legal action against Mr. Tu to enforce his indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against Mr. Tu to enforce his indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations on our behalf, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public shareholders may be reduced below $10.40 per share. You should read this proxy statement carefully for more information concerning this possibility and other consequences of the adoption of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. 

In view of the foregoing, the Company’s board of directors believes it in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders to approve the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Automatic Redemption

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved and the a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining holders of shares and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the company, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. In connection with our redemption of 100% of our outstanding public shares for a portion of the funds held in the trust account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (less the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us for our working capital requirements or necessary to pay our taxes payable on such funds. Holders of rights or warrants will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights or warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company would expect to pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust fund or available to the Company from interest income on the trust account balance. 

Redemption Rights

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the Company will afford the public shareholders making the Election, the opportunity to receive, at the time the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment become effective, and in exchange for the surrender of their shares, a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account. You will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with the expected shareholder vote to approve the proposed business combination with Borqs, or if the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Termination Date.

If you do not make the Election, you will retain the opportunity to redeem your public shares upon consummation of the proposed business combination with Borqs in connection with a shareholder vote to approve that transaction, subject to any limitations set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the limitations contained in the Merger Agreement described below in “The Potential Business Combination with Borqs” and related agreements. In addition, public shareholders who vote for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to redemption if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date.

Redemption Procedure

A redemption demand may be made by checking the box on the proxy card provided for that purpose and returning the proxy card in accordance with the instructions provided, and, at the same time, ensuring your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified elsewhere herein. You will only be entitled to receive cash in connection with a redemption of these shares if you continue to hold them until the effective date of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, by Monday, April 17, 2017, which is two business days prior to the special meeting or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the special meeting ensures that a redeeming holder’s Election is irrevocable once the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, shareholders making the Election will not be able to tender their shares at the special meeting.

27

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those shareholders that do not elect to exercise their redemption rights. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares. 

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures by two business days prior to the special meeting will not be redeemed for cash. In the event that a public shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the special meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the special meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at address listed above. In the event that a public shareholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved or is abandoned, these shares will not be redeemed for cash and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment will not be approved or will be abandoned. The Company anticipates that a public shareholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment and execution of the Trust Amendment. The Company will hold the certificates of public shareholders that make the Election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such shareholders.

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, calculated as of the record date. As of March 30, 2017, this would amount to approximately $10.40 per share. If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption, and tender your share certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent by two business days prior to the special meeting (or Monday, April 17, 2017). If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved or if they are abandoned, these shares will not be redeemed for cash. However, if the Company is unable to complete the proposed business combination with Borqs by the Current Termination Date (unless such date is extended), the shares of the public shareholders will be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association promptly following such date.

Interests of the Company’s Officers, Directors and Advisors

When you consider the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors, you should keep in mind that the Company’s executive officers, members of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s advisors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved and a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date, the Company will redeem all public shares and promptly thereafter, dissolve and liquidate. Our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their respective redemption rights with respect to the founder shares if a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date. In such event, the founder shares, sponsor warrants and private units purchased by our sponsor and our independent directors for an aggregate of approximately $5.0” million will be in all probability be worthless because they will not be entitled to participate in the redemption;
if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved and a business combination is not consummated by the Current Termination Date, it is likely that the Company will not be able to repay the outstanding loan that it made to the Company in an amount up to $500,000, which becomes due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination;

28

if the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, Mr. Jian Tu, our Chairman, will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to it, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of claims against the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters;
rights and warrants to purchase the Company’s shares held by the Company’s officers and directors are exercisable only following consummation of a business combination; and

all rights specified in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by the Company, and of the Company’s officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after the business combination. If the business combination is not approved and the Company liquidates, the Company will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions.

The Board’s Reasons for the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, its Conclusion, and its Recommendation

As discussed below, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Company’s board of directors has determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders. The board of directors has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, and recommends that you vote “FOR” such adoption.

In determining to recommend the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, the Company’s board of directors concluded that the proposed business combination with Borqs is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders, since it believes the Company’s shareholders will benefit from that transaction.

The Company believes that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed business combination with Borqs, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider the proposed business combination with Borqs. However, the Company’s IPO prospectus stated that if the effect of any proposed amendments to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, if adopted, would be to delay the date on which a shareholder could otherwise redeem shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, the Company will provide that, if such amendments are approved by holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the Company’s shares voting on such amendments, dissenting public shareholders will have the right to redeem their public shares. Accordingly, holders of public shares may elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment regardless of how such public shareholders vote. The Company believes that such redemption right protects the Company’s public shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable acquisition in the timeframe contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001.

Having taken into account the matters discussed above, the Company’s board of directors believes that, if the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned) and no material liabilities are sought to be satisfied from the trust account, any resulting redemptions would have no adverse effect on the public shareholders because they would receive approximately the same amounts they would have received if the Company had redeemed all public shares in connection with the failure to consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date, and, if the Company is not able to consummate a business combination prior to the Extended Termination Date, its public shareholders at that time would receive approximately the same redemption proceeds as if they had redeemed all public shares in connection with the failure to consummate a business combination by the Current Termination Date.

The Company’s board of directors has unanimously approved the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. 

In addition, the Company’s board of directors was mindful of and took into account the conflicts, as described in “Interests of the Company’s Officers, Directors and Advisors”, between their respective personal pecuniary interests in successfully completing a business combination and the interests of public shareholders. The board of directors determined that their respective personal pecuniary interests, in the form of the contingent and hypothetical value of Company shares if a business combination is ultimately completed, was substantially less than additional time, effort and potential liability they might incur if they failed to discharge their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders to the best of their ability, as well as substantially less than the potential benefits to public shareholders wishing to have an opportunity to consider the proposed business combination with Borqs, which they, as Company shareholders as well, share. In making that determination, our president and Chairman took into consideration the fact that as a result of the Company proposing the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, he may incur indemnification obligations to the Company under his existing commitment substantially in excess of those currently accrued. At the same time, he recognized that completing the proposed business combination with Borqs would be expected to result in a company more capable than the Company alone to pay existing obligations of the Company and expenses incurred after approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, all of which obligations he might be called upon to pay under his existing commitment.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Company’s board of directors determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders, and has declared them advisable.

Recommendation of the Board

The Company’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

29

DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

The Company's board of directors is currently divided into two classes, Class I and Class II, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a two-year term.

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, the terms of the present Class I directors, David Boris, Honghui Deng and Jason Zexian Shen, are due to expire at the Company's first annual general meeting. At the special meeting therefore, the shareholders are being asked to re-elect each of David Boris, Honghui Deng and Jason Zexian Shen to our board of directors to serve as Class I directors for a new two-year term until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2019, or until any successor is duly elected and qualified. It is expected that Mr. Boris will resign as a director upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

For a biography of each of the director nominees, please see the section entitled “Management.” 

Required Vote

Each of Messrs. Boris, Deng and Shen shall be re-elected to the board of directors of the Company as Class I directors if the proposal to re-elect that person is approved by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and voting on the proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

The Company’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the re-election of each of the persons named above.

Vote in Person at the Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting and plan to vote in person, we will provide you with a ballot at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the shareholder of record and you have the right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of your broker or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to bring to the Annual Meeting a legal proxy from your broker or other nominee authorizing you to vote those shares.

If you vote by any of the methods discussed above, you will be designating Pat Chan, our Chief Executive Officer, and Anthony Chan, our Chief Financial Officer, as your proxies, and they will vote your shares on your behalf as you indicate.


Submitting a proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you will receive separate voting instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. The availability of Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your bank, broker or other nominee. Please check with your bank, broker or other nominee and follow the voting instructions it provides.

Each of them will vote on your behalf, and will have the authority to appoint a substitute to act as proxy. If you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote by proxy so that your ordinary shares may be voted.

How will my proxy vote my shares?

If you are a shareholder of record, your proxy will vote according to your instructions. If you choose to vote by mail and complete and return the enclosed proxy card but do not indicate your vote, your proxy will vote “FOR” the election of the nominated slate of Class I directors (see Proposal 1) and “FOR” the ratification of Ernst and Young Hua Ming LLP (“E&Y”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending JuneDecember 31, 2018 (see Proposal 2). We do not intend to bring any other matter for a vote at the Annual Meeting, and we do not know of anyone else who intends to do so. Your proxies are authorized to vote on your behalf, however, using their best judgment, on any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you will receive separate voting instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. The availability of Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your bank, broker or other nominee. Please check with your bank, broker or other nominee and follow the voting instructions your bank, broker or other nominee provides.

You should instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares. If you do not give voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee, the bank, broker or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under applicable rules, brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters, such as the ratification of the selection of accounting firms, but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters. Under the regulations applicable to New York Stock Exchange member brokerage firms (many of whom are the record holders of our ordinary shares), the uncontested election of directors is no longer considered a routine matter. Matters related to executive compensation are also not considered routine. As a result, if you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in street name, but do not give your broker or other nominee instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to these matters, votes may not be cast on your behalf. If your bank, broker or other nominee indicates on its proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal, your shares will be considered to be “broker non-votes” with regard to that matter. Broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether enough votes are present to hold our Annual Meeting, but a broker non-vote will not otherwise affect the outcome of a vote on a non-routine matter that requires a majority of the votes of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. With respect to a non-routine matter that requires a favorable vote of a majority of the outstanding shares, a broker non-vote has the same effect as a vote against the proposal. With regard to the proposals for this Annual Meeting, the election of directors is “non-routine” and the ratification of auditors is “routine.” In tabulating the voting result for the election of directors, shares that constitute broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast. In tabulating the voting results for the ratification of auditors, abstentions are not considered as votes cast and broker non-votes are considered votes cast.


How do I change my vote?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting by:

Notifying our corporate Secretary Pat Chan, in writing at Building B23-A, Universal Business Park, No. 10 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 10015, China, that you are revoking your proxy;

Submitting a proxy at a later date via the Internet, or by signing and delivering a proxy card relating to the same shares and bearing a later date than the date of the previous proxy prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting, in which case your later-submitted proxy will be recorded and your earlier proxy revoked; or

Attending and voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you should check with your bank, broker or other nominee and follow the voting instructions provided.

What constitutes a quorum?

The holders of a majority of the Company’s eligible votes as of the Record Date, either present or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct the Annual Meeting. If you choose to have your shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, you will be considered part of the quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the the Chairman of the board may adjourn the meeting to a later date. If an adjournment is for more than 30 2017,days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, we will provide notice of the adjourned meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors. For Proposal 1, the election of directors, the nominees will be elected by a majority of the votes of the ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. You may choose to vote, or withhold your vote, separately for each nominee. A properly executed proxy or voting instructions marked “WITHHOLD” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for the purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. For Proposal 2, the affirmative vote of the holders of ordinary shares entitled to vote and present at the meeting must exceed the votes cast against the proposal, in order for the proposal to be approved.

Other Proposals. Any other proposal that might properly come before the meeting will require the affirmative vote of the holders of ordinary shares entitled to vote and present at the meeting to exceed the votes cast against the proposal for the proposal to be approved, except when a different vote is required by law and/or our memorandum and articles of association. On any such proposal, abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on that matter for purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast.

Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to any matter will be counted as present and entitled to vote on that matter for purposes of establishing a quorum. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast and accordingly will have the same effect as votes against on the outcome of voting with respect to any of the proposals for this Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting with respect to Proposal 1. In tabulating the voting results for the ratification of auditors, broker non-votes are considered votes cast with respect to Proposal 2 and therefore will have an effect on the outcome of such proposal.


What percentage of our ordinary shares do our directors and officers own?

As of October 26, 2018, our current directors and executive officers beneficially owned approximately 7.2% of our ordinary shares outstanding. See the discussion under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on page 21 for more details.

Who is soliciting proxies, how are they being solicited, and who pays the cost?

We, on behalf of our Board, through our directors, officers, and employees, are soliciting proxies primarily by mail. Further, proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone, or facsimile. We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. We will also reimburse stockbrokers and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to the owners of our ordinary shares.

Who is our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and will they be represented at the Annual Meeting?

E&Y has served as the independent registered public accounting firm auditing and reporting on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017. E&Y has been appointed by our Board to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. We expect that representatives of E&Y will not be present at the Annual Meeting.

What are the recommendations of our Board?

The recommendations of our Board are set forth together with the description of each proposal of this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:

FOR the election of the two nominated Class I directors (see Proposal 1); and

FOR the ratification of Ernst and Young Hua Ming LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 (see Proposal 2).

With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

If you sign and return your proxy card but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.


GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

In accordance with our memorandum and articles of association, our Board is divided into three classes, with the number of directors in each class to be as nearly equal as possible. Our existing Class I directors will serve until the Annual Meeting, our existing Class II directors will serve until our 2019 annual general meeting, and our existing Class III directors will serve until our 2020 annual general meeting. Commencing at our 2018 annual general meeting, and at each following annual general meeting, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third annual general meeting following their election.

Our board of directors, which is elected by our shareholders, is responsible for directing and overseeing our business and affairs. In carrying out its responsibilities, the board selects and monitors our top management, provides oversight of our financial reporting processes, and determines and implements our corporate governance policies.

Our board of directors and management are committed to good corporate governance to ensure that we are managed for the long-term benefit of our shareholders, and we have a variety of policies and procedures to promote such goals. To that end, during the past year, our board and management periodically reviewed our corporate governance policies and practices to ensure that they remain consistent with the requirements of the U.S. securities laws, rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). 

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors held 7 regular meetings in 2017. Each director attended at least 50% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board and committees on which such director served that were held during 2017.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Employees (“Code of Ethics”) applies to all of our employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and principal accounting officer. Our Code of Ethics is available on our corporate website,www.borqs.com. If we amend or grant a waiver of one or more of the provisions of our Code of Ethics, we intend to satisfy the requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding the disclosure of amendments to or waivers from provisions of our Code of Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer by posting the required information on our website.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Shareholders and other parties interested in communicating directly with the board of directors may do so by writing to: Board of Directors, c/o Borqs Technologies, Inc., Building B23-A, Universal Business Park, No. 10 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100015, China, or by e-mail to sandra.dou@borqs.net. Shareholders and others may direct their correspondence to our Secretary.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our Board be independent directors. An “independent director” is a person, other than an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, who has no relationship which in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board has determined that Mr. Joseph Wai Leung Wong, Mr. Jason Zixian Shen, Dr. Honghui Deng, Mr. Eric Tao and Mr. Bill Huang are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will hold regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

The Board does not have a lead independent director. Pat Chan is our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

The members of our Audit Committee intendsare Mr. Huang, Mr. Shen and Mr. Wong (chairman of the committee), each of whom is an independent director. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and our Board determined Mr. Wong qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. Our Audit Committee charter details the responsibilities of the Audit Committee, including:

the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

Compensation Committee

The members of our Compensation Committee are Mr. Huang, Mr. Shen (chairman of the committee), and Mr. Wong, each of whom is an independent director. Our Compensation Committee charter details the principal functions of the Compensation Committee, including:

The charter also provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the Compensation Committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Our directors and officers, and any persons who own more than 10% of our ordinary shares, are required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to reconsiderfile initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC (“Section 16(a) filings”). Specific due dates have been established by the SEC, and we are required to disclose in this report any failure to file by those dates. Based solely upon our review of the copies of such reports for fiscal 2017 as furnished to us, we believe that all directors, officers, and greater-than-10% beneficial owners have made all required Section 16(a) filings on a timely basis for 2017.

In making its recommendation to the Board that shareholders ratify the appointment of E&Y as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, the Audit Committee considered whether E&Y’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm.

THE POTENTIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH BORQS

The followingSet forth below is a brief summary of the terms and background of the Merger Agreement. Any description in this proxy statement of the Merger Agreement is qualified in all respects by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K the Company filed with the SEC on January 3, 2017. On February 13, 2017, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the proposed business combination with Borqs. Following completion of the SEC’s review process, a definitive proxy statement will be mailed to shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed business combination with Borqs (the “Business Combination Proxy Statement”). The Business Combination Proxy Statement will contain important information regarding the proposed business combination with Borqs. The following description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in all respects by reference to the more detailed description in the Business Combination Proxy Statement.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs at this time. If you are a public shareholder, you will have the right to vote on the proposed business combination with Borqs when it is submitted to shareholders.

General Description of the Merger Agreement

On December 27, 2016, we entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Borqs, PAAC Merger Subsidiary Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liabilityCompany's current directors and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific (“Merger Sub”), Zhengqi International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined below) for the shareholders of Pacific other than the shareholders of Borqs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and their successors and assignees (the “Purchaser Representative”), Zhengdong Zou, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the shareholders of Borqs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Seller Representative”), and for certain limited purposes thereof, Zhengqi International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “Sponsor”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Borqs, with Borqs continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the consummation of the Merger, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the holders of Borqs’ issued and outstanding capital shares will receive ordinary shares, no par value, of Pacific (“Pacific Ordinary Shares”), the holders of Borqs’ issued and outstanding warrants will receive replacement warrants to acquire Pacific Ordinary Shares (“Replacement Warrants”), and the holders of Borqs’ issued and outstanding options will have their options assumed by Pacific and will instead acquire Pacific Ordinary Shares upon exercise of Assumed Options.

Merger Consideration

The total number of Pacific Ordinary Shares to be received by Borqs shareholders at the Effective Time (the “Merger Consideration Shares”) will be based on the adjusted equity valuation of Borqs as of the Closing, with such adjusted equity valuation divided by $10.40. The adjusted equity valuation of Borqs as of the Closing will be determined by starting with a base valuation of $303.0 million, deducting the amount of indebtedness (net of cash) of Borqs and its subsidiaries (Borqs and its subsidiaries, which term as used herein includes any variable interest entities through which Borqs operates in the People’s Republic of China, collectively, the “Target Companies”) as of the last business day before the Closing (but treating any amounts contingent upon the Closing as not being contingent) (the “Reference Time”), increasing such valuation to the extent that the net working capital (excluding indebtedness and cash) of the Target Companies as of the Reference Time is greater than $11.0 million or decreasing such valuation to the extent that the net working capital (excluding indebtedness and cash) of the Target Companies as of the Reference Time is less than $9.0 million, and increasing such valuation to the extent that Pacific’s outside accounting and legal expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and consummation of the Merger Agreement (but excluding any deferred initial public offering costs or costs incurred with any PIPE Investment (as defined below) or any costs incurred in connection with an extension of Pacific’s deadline to consummate a business combination, if sought) exceed US$1.0 million. The adjusted equity valuation will be determined by mutual agreement of Borqs and Pacific based on estimates of the foregoing factors as of the Closing, without any post-Closing adjustments. Four percent (4%) of the Merger Consideration Shares (together with any equity securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such shares or into which such shares are exchanged or converted, the “Escrow Shares” and, together with any other dividends, distributions or other income of the Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Property”) otherwise payable at the Closing will be held in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) by an escrow agent to be mutually agreed upon by Pacific and Borqs (the “Escrow Agent”) to cover any indemnification claims made on behalf of Pacific or the other indemnified parties under the Merger Agreement. Each Borqs shareholder as of the Effective Time (each, a “Borqs Shareholder”) will receive its pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration Shares, less its pro rata portion of the Escrow Shares held in the Escrow Account, based on the number of Borqs shares held by such Borqs Shareholder (with any Borqs preferred shares treated on an as-converted into Borqs ordinary share basis), except that any Borqs Shareholder who exercises dissenters rights under Cayman Islands law will not be entitled to receive its pro rata share of the Merger Consideration Shares. 

33

Holders of issued and outstanding Borqs warrants will receive Replacement Warrants, which will be subject to the substantially the same terms and conditions as Pacific’s warrants issued as part of the units in Pacific’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), except that the number of shares and exercise price thereunder will be based on the number of Borqs shares and exercise price under the applicable Borqs warrant, with each equitably adjusted for the Merger based on the number of Merger Consideration Shares as compared to the number of issued and outstanding Borqs shares immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Pacific will assume the obligations under the Assumed Options (including the applicable provisions of the plan under which they were issued), except that the number of shares and exercise price thereunder will be based on the number of Borqs shares and exercise price under the applicable Assumed Option, with each equitably adjusted for the Merger based on the number of Merger Consideration Shares as compared to the number of issued and outstanding Borqs shares immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Compensation Tables

Summary Compensation Table

The Company has opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to emerging growth companies. The scaled disclosure rules require compensation disclosure for the Company’s principal executive officer and Mr. Tu to continue to serve as chairman of our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has chosen to separateits two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer whose total compensation for 2017 exceeded $100,000. Pat Chan is our principal executive officer. During 2017, the two most highly compensated executive officers other than Mr. Chan whose total compensation exceeded $100,000 were Bob Li, EVP Corporate Affairs and chairman positions because it believes that (i) independent oversight of management is an important component of an effective board of directorsChina Sales, and (ii)Anthony Chan, Chief Financial Officer. Pat Chan, Bob Li, and Anthony Chan are referred to in this structure benefits the interests of all shareholders. If the Board of Directors convenes for a meeting, the non-management directors will meet in executive session if circumstances warrant. Given the composition of the Board of Directors with a strong slate of independent directors, the Board of Directors does not believe that it is necessary to formally designate a lead independent director at this time, although it may consider appointing a lead independent director if circumstances change. See “Management After the Business Combination” in our preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 13, 2017.as our named executive officers.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, our board of directors held one meeting and our audit committee held four meetings.

Other Board Committees

We do not have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a nominating and corporate governance committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter.

The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for electionOutstanding Equity Awards at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, a meeting of shareholders). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our charter.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. Copies of our Code of Ethics and our audit committee and compensation committee charters are available, without charge, upon request from us.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of any publicly traded class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater-than-ten-percent shareholders are required by the SEC’s regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and Forms 4 furnished since the effective date of our IPO, we believe that all such forms required to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were timely filed, as necessary, by the officers, directors, and security holders required to file the same.

Executive Compensation

We pay each of our independent directors an annual retainer of $30,000 (prorated for a partial term), payable in arrears commencing on October 20, 2016 and ending on the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation. Until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we pay an affiliate of our Chairman a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services. We believe that such fees are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party for such services. Except as set forth above, no compensation will be paid to our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to or in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our independent directors review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.

Additionally, on January 10, 2017 we entered into an agreement (the “Director’s Agreement”) to pay Mr. Boris certain additional fees to act a special director to our board of directors in our efforts in closing our initial business combination. Such agreement is effective December 23, 2016 and will continue until the earlier of (i) April 20, 2017, (ii) the closing date of the Business Combination or (iii) Mr. Boris’ resignation or removal as a director of the board or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. We will pay Mr. Boris a cash fee of $50,000 payable as follows: (i) $10,000 paid upon execution of the Director’s Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, $10,000 to be paid on a monthly basis; provided, that if any portion of the cash fee remains unpaid at the time the Business Combination is consummated, all such unpaid amounts will be paid at the closing of our initial business combination. As additional compensation, as of December 23, 2016, our sponsor sold Mr. Boris 80,000 shares of Pacific’s ordinary shares at a purchase price of $0.017 per share, provided, that a portion of the such shares are subject to forfeiture in the event that the Director’s Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the date of consummation of the Merger (the “Separation Event”) as follows: (i) 75% will be forfeited if a Separation Event occurs before the one month anniversary of the date of the Director’s Agreement; (ii) 50% will be forfeited if a Separation Event occurs on or after the one month anniversary of the Director’s Agreement and prior to the two month anniversary of the Director’s Agreement; (iii) 25% will be forfeited if a Separation Event occurs on or after the three month anniversary of the Director’s Agreement and prior to the four month anniversary of the Director’s Agreement; and (iv) no shares will be forfeited from and after the four month anniversary of the Director’s Agreement.

After the completion of our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended, to the board of directors for determination, either by a committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of the initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of the initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with the initial business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

None of our executive officers serves as a member of the Board or Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on information obtainedour Board or Compensation Committee.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our memorandum and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, (as amended), and the common law of the British Virgin Islands allow us to indemnify our officers and directors from certain liabilities. Our memorandum and articles of association provides that we may indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate against all direct and indirect costs, fees and expenses of any type or nature whatsoever, any person who (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the persons named below,fact that such person is or was a director, officer, key employee, adviser of our company; or (b) is or was, at the request of our company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise.

We will only indemnify the individual in question if the relevant indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of our company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The decision of our directors as to whether an indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of our company and as to whether such indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of our charter, unless a question of law is involved.


The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the relevant indemnitee did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of our company or that such indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

We may purchase and maintain insurance, purchase or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond in relation to any indemnitee or who at our request is or was serving as a Director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify him against the liability as provided in our memorandum and articles of association.

We have insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these officers and directors pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the BVI Companies Act, 2004 or our charter. These indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers. 

At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for the Review and Approval of Related-Person Transactions

Our Board adopted a written related person transactions policy that sets forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. Our policy requires that a “related person” (as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) must promptly disclose to our general counsel any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is reportable by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we are or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. The general counsel will promptly communicate such information to our Audit Committee or another independent body of our Board. No related person transaction will be entered into without the approval or ratification of our Audit Committee or another independent body of our Board. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any such vote. Our policy does not specify the standards to be applied by our Audit Committee or another independent body of our Board in determining whether or not to approve or ratify a related person transaction, although such determinations will be made in accordance with BVI law.

Related-Person Transactions

Intel and Qualcomm

 

In the last three years, our Connected Solutions BU has worked closely with chipset partners, including Intel and Qualcomm, to develop new connected devices and commercially launch Android-based devices in 11 countries, and as of June 30, 2018, more than 10 million mobile devices sold worldwide have BorqsWare software platform solutions embedded. Intel and Qualcomm are, or previously were, shareholders of the Company in the last three years, and we developed the reference Android software platform and hardware platform for their phones and tablets. We provided software services and hardware to Intel in 2015 and 2016. See “Note 17 - Related Party Transactions” to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, a copy of which will be disseminated to our shareholders on or about November 6, 2018 in connection with this Annual Meeting.

Repurchase of Shares from Zhengqi

On January 10, 2018, we entered into a stock repurchase agreement (“Stock Repurchase Agreement”) with Zhengqi, pursuant to which we agreed to repurchase 966,136 of our ordinary shares that were originally issued and sold to Zhengqi on August 18, 2017, at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10 million, or $10.40 per share. In addition, Zhengqi forfeited all of its rights to 1,278,776 shares held in escrow and which shares would instead be treated as part of the merger consideration shares under the Merger Agreement (as defined below) pursuant to which the Company acquired Borqs International. The Stock Repurchase Agreement provides that those shares will be treated in the following manner: transfer 51,151 shares (4% of the total) into the indemnity escrow account; and deliver 1,227,625 shares to the former Borqs International shareholders based on their respective proportionate interests in the merger consideration (See “Pacific Related Person Transactions”). The Company is working with Zhengqi to satisfy certain conditions and make necessary arrangements before completing the repurchase. As of the date of this proxy statement, the 1,278,776 escrow shares were forfeited and released from escrow and the Company had obtained the consent of its existing lenders with respect to the transaction. The return and cancellation of the 966,136 shares remain in process. We anticipate closing the transaction in 2018. The funds used in the repurchase were the same amount of funds provided by Zhengqi when the shares were sold to Zhengqi on August 18, 2017 under the Backstop and Subscription Agreement between the Company, Zhengqi and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”).

We repaid these advancesThis advance and loan were repaid from the proceeds of ourPacific’s IPO not placed in the trust account.

 

On November 9, 2016, our sponsorZhengqi loaned usPacific $500,000, to be used for expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements. The convertible promissory note issued in connection therewith, as amended on February 9, 2017, iswas non-interest bearing, due and duepaid on the date on which we consummate a business combination.August 18, 2017.

AsMembers of December 31, 2016, our sponsorPacific’s management advanced to usPacific an aggregate of $154,820$229,061 to cover expenses related to identifying targets for an initial business combination. The advances arewere non-interest bearing, unsecured, due and due upon the consummation of an initial business combination.repaid on August 18, 2017.

 

In connection with Pacific’s April 18, 2017 meeting of shareholders Zhengqi loaned an aggregate of $612,000 to Pacific ($0.03 for each public share not redeemed for each month between April 20, 2017 until August 21, 2017). As a result, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account for ordinary shares that were not redeemed increased from approximately $10.40 per share to approximately $10.52 per share. Zhengqi’s loan was repaid in full on August 18, 2017.


Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended on May 10, 2017 and June 29, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), and in consideration of entering into the Backstop and Subscription Agreement described below, Zhengqi and its assignees, including EBC, were entitled to receive 2,352,285 ordinary shares if Company performance targets were not achieved by June 30, 2018 (the “Escrowed Shares”); if those targets were achieved, those shares (to the extent earned) would be delivered to the former shareholders of Borqs International. These Escrowed Shares were issued on August 18, 2017 in the name of Zhengqi and deposited in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), with Zhengqi and EBC entitled to all voting rights and dividend rights (other than equity securities paid as dividends). Any portion of these shares that were earned by the former shareholders of Borqs International would be forfeited by Zhengqi and the Company would issue new equivalent shares to the former shareholders of Borqs International, with four percent of these shares deposited in escrow to support indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement. In connection with our acquisition of Borqs International by way of merger, we amended our charter amended to require, for future acquisitions by the Company prior to September 30, 2018 having a value in excess of $60 million, the approval of at least two-thirds of the members of our then-serving board of directors, to grant Zhengqi information rights relating to such acquisitions, and, if requested by Zhengqi, to provide a fairness opinion in respect of such acquisitions.

On May 11, 2017, Pacific and Zhengqi entered into a Backstop and Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which Zhengqi agreed to purchase up to $24.0 million of our ordinary shares through (i) open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties, (ii) a private placement at a price of $10.40 per share with consummation to occur concurrently with that of our acquisition of Borqs International by way of merger or (iii) a combination thereof, in order to finance transaction costsensure that there was at least $24.0 million in the trust account together with proceeds from any private placement to be conducted prior to the closing of our acquisition of Borqs International by way of merger. Zhengqi was entitled, at its sole election, to purchase additional ordinary shares in excess of such $24.0 million requirement, up to a total of $24.0 million purchased in total in connection with the Backstop and Subscription Agreement. On August 16, 2017, $750,000 of the obligations of Zhengqi to purchase Pacific ordinary shares in the private placement under the Backstop and Subscription Agreement were assigned to EBC. In connection with our merger with Borqs International and as consideration for the Backstop and Subscription Agreement, Pacific sold 1,038,251 ordinary shares for an intended initial business combination,aggregate consideration of approximately $10.8 million and we plan to repurchase 966,136 of these ordinary shares, as described under “— Repurchase of Shares from Zhengqi.”

 In connection with our Sponsor or an affiliaterepurchase of 966,136 of our Sponsor or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional fundsordinary shares from Zhengqi, as may be required. If we consummate our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the offering proceeds held outsidedate of this proxy statement, Zhengqi has forfeited 1,278,776 of the trustEscrowed Shares, which shares were distributed in accordance with the Stock Repurchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement.

Additionally, as the Company did not expect to have achieved certain performance targets by June 30, 2018 as required by the Merger Agreement, the parties agreed to release the remaining Escrowed Shares without undertaking the verification procedures outlined in the Merger Agreement and Escrow Agreement. Accordingly, as of August 3, 2018, the Escrow Agent delivered 1,073,059 of the remaining Escrowed Shares from the escrow account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released to us for working capital purposes. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. Aside from the $500,000 Sponsor note described above, the notes would be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest.

After our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with anyZhengqi and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a shareholders meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any member of our management team or his or her respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us at that time, based upon other similar arrangements known to us, to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. It is our intention to obtain estimates from unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to ascertain whether such transactions with affiliates are on terms that are no less favorable to us than are otherwise available from such unaffiliated third parties. If a transaction with an affiliated third party were found to be on terms less favorable to us than with an unaffiliated third party, we would not engage in such transaction.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that our initial business combination is fair to our public shareholders from a financial point of view.EBC.
