As of the close of business on December 18, 2019, the reporting persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 1,865,119 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock as the reporting persons held 1,865,119 of the Issuer’s units. Each unit consists of one share of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock. The Issuer’s warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering. Specifically, as of the close of business on December 18, 2019:
i) Integrated Core Strategies (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Integrated Core Strategies"), beneficially owned 290,119 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock as it held 290,119 of the Issuer’s units;
ii) Riverview Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Riverview Group"), beneficially owned 900,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock as it held 900,000 of the Issuer’s units; and

Millennium International Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Millennium International Management"), is the investment manager to ICS Opportunities and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by ICS Opportunities.
Millennium Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium Management"), is the general partner of the managing member of Integrated Core Strategies and Riverview Group and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Integrated Core Strategies and Riverview Group.
