(1)Based on 15,000,000 Units of the Company outstanding as of December 1, 2016. Each Unit consists of one Class A common share, $0.0001 par value, and one-half warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A common share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time, unless the warrants have previously expired, commencing on the later of: (i) 30 days after the consummation of the initial business combination of the issuer; and (ii) 12 months from the closing of the offering; provided that, during the period in which the warrants are exercisable, a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the Class A common shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is available. As of December 2, 2016, the warrants are not excisable within 60 days and therefore are being excluded from the beneficial ownership calculations. Based on 18,750,000 Class A common shares of Company outstanding as of December 2, 2016, the aggregate amount of Class A common shares included in the 1,500,000 Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person represents 8.0% of the Class A common shares.
