Related Party Transactions | 5. Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On August 1, 2014, ARC purchased 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Public Units except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. On October 1, 2014, in connection with a reduction in the size of the Public Offering, ARC contributed to the Company 1,725,000 Founder Shares, which the Company canceled. Thereafter, ARC sold 20,000 Founder Shares at their original price to each of the Company’s independent directors. On December 4, 2014, as a result of the underwriters’ election not to exercise the overallotment option in connection with the Public Offering, the initial stockholders (as defined below) forfeited an aggregate of 900,000 Founder Shares, consisting of a forfeiture of 2,609 Founder Shares by each of David Gong, P. Sue Perrotty and Dr. Robert J. Froehlich, and a forfeiture of 892,173 Founder Shares by ARC. As a result of the forfeiture, ARC held 5,947,827 Founder Shares, and each of David Gong, P. Sue Perrotty and Dr. Robert J. Froehlich held 17,391 Founder Shares, so that there were 6,000,000 Founder Shares outstanding. The number of Founder Shares represented 20% of the outstanding shares. In October 2016, pursuant to the Transfer Agreement (as defined below), ARC transferred all of its Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s Sponsor. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Public Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions. The Company’s stockholder prior to the Public Offering, including their subsequent transferees (collectively, the “initial stockholders”) have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier of (a) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (b) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock Up Period”). Private Placement Warrants On October 7, 2014, ARC purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,550,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $6.55 million) in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Public Offering. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $12.50 per share, as amended upon approval of the proposals at the Special Meeting in October 2016. Of the $6.55 million purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants, $4.3 million of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the initial Business Combination. The Private Placement Warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees. In addition, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Public Units. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants included in the Public Units and have no net cash settlement provisions. If the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. Agreements with Sponsor Pursuant to the agreement by and among the Company, ARC and the Company’s Sponsor in October 2016 (“Transfer Agreement”), ARC transferred all of its Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s Sponsor, Axar Master Fund Ltd. Upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Sponsor agreed to automatically forfeit, for no consideration, a number of Founder Shares equal to the excess of (if positive) of (a) 6,000,000 over (b) 25% of the sum of (i) total Public Shares outstanding plus (ii) the excess of (x) the total number of shares of common stock issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon the conversion of exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of common stock or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or the Sponsor and its affiliates, over (y) the total number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. No Founder Shares will be forfeited if sum of the forgoing (a) and (b) is equal to or less than zero. Loans from Related Parties ARC agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $200,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) on August 1, 2014 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. The Note was payable without interest upon the consummation of the Public Offering. From inception through October 7, 2014, ARC loaned $79,702 to the Company. The Note was repaid in full on October 8, 2014. Additionally, the Company had a due to affiliate of $88,800 to ARC for costs incurred by the Company, which was repaid on October 8, 2014. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, in October 2016, ARC also contributed approximately $770,000 to the Company for general working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to lend the Company on January 1, 2017 and on the first business day of each of the following three fiscal quarters commencing thereafter (or, if the Extension date is October 1, 2017, the following two fiscal quarters commencing thereafter) approximately $125,300, which amounts will be deposited in the Trust Account (“Trust Loan”). The Sponsor has also agreed to provide a loan to the Company for up to $2 million for working capital and other expenses (together with Trust Loan, “Loan”). The Loan will be non-interest bearing and repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the note will not be repaid by the Company and all amounts owed thereunder by the Company will be forgiven, except to the extent that the Company has funds available outside of the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had an outstanding amount of $950,000 under the Loan from the Sponsor, of which approximately $125,300 was deposited in the Trust Account in January 2017. Compensation Reimbursement Agreement On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to pay ARC an amount not to exceed $15,000 per month as reimbursement for a portion of the compensation paid to its personnel, including certain of the Company’s officers who work on the Company’s behalf, commencing on the date the Company’s securities are first listed on NASDAQ (the “Compensation Reimbursement Agreement”). During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred $45,000 related to services under this agreement. On October 7, 2016, this arrangement was terminated, and ARC agreed that all amounts owed under such arrangement as of such date, or approximately $50,000, were contributed to capital. Registration Rights Agreement The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on October 1, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities under the Securities Act. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (a) in the case of the Founder Shares, one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (i) the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (ii) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property and (b) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective common stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants, 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. |
