Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On August 1, 2014, the Sponsor 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, the Sponsor contributed to the Company 1,725,000 Founder Shares, which the Company canceled. Thereafter, the Sponsor sold 20,000 Founder Shares at their original price to each of the Company's independent directors. On December 5, 2014, as a result of the underwriters' election not to exercise the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering, the initial stockholders 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 the Sponsor. As a result of the forfeiture, the Sponsor 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 represents 20% of the outstanding shares. 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 initial stockholders have agreed 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”).

(2) As a result of the underwriters' election not to exercise the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering, the initial stockholders forfeited an aggregate of 900,000 Founder Shares. Private Placement Warrants On October 7, 2014, the Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,550,000 Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant (a purchase price of $6,550,000 ) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Public Offering (the "Private Placement Warrants"). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per share. Of the $6,550,000 purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants, $4,300,000 of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants (which is net of the estimated offering expenses of $750,000 , proceeds not held in the Trust Account of $1,000,000 and Reimbursement of $500,000 ) 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 (except as described in the prospectus relating to the Public Offering under “Principal Stockholders—Escrow of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants and Transfer Restrictions”). 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. Sponsor Loans The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $200,000 by the issuance of 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, the Sponsor loaned at total of $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 the Sponsor for costs incurred by the Company, which was repaid on October 8, 2014. Administrative Services Agreement On September 8, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to pay RCS Advisory Services, LLC ("RCS Advisory"), an entity then under common control with the Sponsor, a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services commencing on the date the Company’s securities are first listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ"). Upon the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. On January 22, 2016, due to the exigent circumstances publicly announced by RCS Advisory’s parent company, including but not limited to its stated intention to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and shut down all of its businesses other than its retail advisor platform by the end of January 2016 (which bankruptcy filing did subsequently occur on January 31, 2016), which resulted in RCS Advisory’s inability to provide the services contemplated by the administrative services agreement, the Company provided notice of termination of the administrative services agreement. The space formerly sublet by RCS Advisory for the Company’s office space is currently leased by the Sponsor and will be provided to the Company free of charge. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $0 and $30,000 , respectively, related to services under this agreement. M&A Advisory Agreement On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with RCS to act as a financial advisor in connection with the Company’s identification, negotiation and consummation of an Initial Business Combination (the “M&A Services Agreement”). The M&A Services Agreement provides that RCS would perform customary financial analyses of potential Initial Business Combination targets, assist in coordinating the business due diligence process with potential targets, assist in the Company’s review and consideration of the financial aspects of business combination proposals, assist in negotiating the financial aspects of an Initial Business Combination and provide other mutually agreed upon financial advisory services rendered in advance of a determination by the Company’s board to execute definitive documentation related to any business combination. Additionally, in the event that the Company executes a definitive agreement with respect to an Initial Business Combination, the M&A Services Agreement provides that RCS would provide post-signing and pre-closing financial advisory services as may be mutually agreed upon. In exchange for these services, the M&A Services Agreement provides that the Company would pay RCS a transaction fee equal to $2,640,000 or 1.1% of the total gross proceeds raised in the Public Offering. This fee will be payable upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. The M&A Services Agreement also provides that the Company would reimburse RCS for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, irrespective of whether an Initial Business Combination is consummated, and in the event that the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, such out-of-pocket expenses would not be paid out of the Trust Account. The M&A Services Agreement could be terminated by either party at any time with or without cause. On January 22, 2016, due to the exigent circumstances publicly announced by RCS’s parent company, including but not limited to its stated intention to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and shut down all of its businesses other than its retail advisor platform by the end of January 2016 (which bankruptcy filing did subsequently occur on January 31, 2016), which resulted in RCS’s inability to provide the services contemplated by the M&A Services Agreement, the Company provided notice of termination for cause. As a result, as of March 31, 2016 , the Deferred Fees in the amount of $2,640,000 will no longer be payable to RCS. The $2,640,000 was reversed from deferred underwriting commissions and advisory fees on the Company's Condensed Balance Sheets and from additional paid-in capital on the Company's Condensed Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. Compensation Reimbursement On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor 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"). Upon the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $45,000 related to services under this agreement. 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. 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. |
