Organization, Plan of Business Operations and Liquidity | Note 1 – Organization, Plan of Business Operations and Liquidity Capitol Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 13, 2015 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). All activity through September 30, 2016 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Offering”) and identifying and investigating prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination. The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective on October 13, 2015. The Company consummated the Offering of 32,500,000 units on October 19, 2015, including the exercise of the over-allotment option to the extent of 2,500,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $325,000,000 and net proceeds of $317,665,553 after deducting $7,334,447 of transaction costs (up to an additional $11,375,000 of deferred underwriting expenses may be paid upon the completion of a Business Combination). The units sold pursuant to the Offering (“Units”) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit. In addition, the Company generated gross and net proceeds of $8,250,000 from the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 8,250,000 warrants (“Founders’ Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant to Capitol Acquisition Management 3 LLC and Capitol Acquisition Founder LLC (collectively, the “Sponsors”), entities affiliated with the Company’s executive officers, and the Company’s directors. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of our Offering and the Founders’ Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully. Upon the closing of the Offering, $325,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit sold in the Offering), including the proceeds of the private placement of the Founders’ Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may be invested in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended the (“Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s first Business Combination and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s executive officers have agreed that they will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that they will be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination with a target business, is required to seek shareholder approval of such Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to convert their shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the shares of common stock sold in the Offering without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5 million upon consummation of the Business Combination and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. In connection with any shareholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, the Sponsors and any other initial shareholders of the Company (collectively, the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed (i) to vote any of their respective shares in favor of the initial Business Combination and (ii) not to convert any of their respective shares. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination by October 19, 2017, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of common stock and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate. If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination and is forced to redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not released to the Company to pay any of its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Offering not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects that the per-share conversion price for common stock would be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the Company’s common stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption price may be less than $10.00. The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and will remain such for up to five years. However, if the Company’s non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period or the Company’s total revenues exceed $1 billion or the market value of the Company’s shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, the Company would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year. As an emerging growth company, the Company has elected, under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. The Company has experienced recurring net operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s main source of liquidity was from the Offering and the Private Placement proceeds, from which amounts have been used to fund the search for a prospective target business. On August 11, 2016, August 12, 2016 and August 15, 2016, the Company’s officers and directors (or their affiliates) loaned the Company an aggregate of $500,000. The Company currently has a cash position of approximately $380,000. The Company subsequently received new commitments (which commitments replaced and superseded certain prior commitments) from its Chief Executive Officer, Mark D. Ein, its President and Chief Financial Officer, L. Dyson Dryden, and its independent board members, Lawrence Calcano, Richard C. Donaldson and Piyush Sodha, to provide additional loans to the Company of up to $767,000 in the aggregate. The August 2016 loans, and any future ones that may be made by the Company’s officers and directors (or their affiliates), are, and will be, evidenced by notes and would either be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination or up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted into warrants. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to meet its needs for the next twelve months. |
