will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time period.
Proposed Business Combination
On October 5, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, RMG Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Romeo Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Romeo”), which provides for, among other things the merger of Merger Sub with and into Romeo, with Romeo continuing as the surviving corporation, as further described in Note 10 to the financial statement included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity since inception was in preparation for our initial public offering, and since such offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial business combination and the activities in connection with the Merger described above, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We are also incurring expenses in connection with the Merger.

We will use the funds available outside of the Trust Account primarily to meet our operating cash flow and working capital needs.
