TABLE OF CONTENTS
On April 2, 2009, Columbus issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has
approved amendments to its certificate of incorporation (the Extension Amendments) extending the
date by which it must complete a business combination before it is
required to be liquidated. The Extension Amendments are subject to
the approval of stockholders of Columbus holding a majority of the
outstanding common stock of Columbus. If
approved by Columbuss stockholders, the Extension Amendments would (i) extend the date by which
the Corporation must complete a business combination from May 18, 2009 to July 15, 2009, before it
is required to liquidate; and (ii) allow public holders of less than 50% of Columbuss outstanding
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (common stock), who vote against the Extension
Amendments and elect conversion to convert their common stock into a portion of the funds available
in the trust account. In connection with the Extension Amendments, the trust agreement
established in connection with Columbuss initial public offering (IPO) would be amended to
extend the date by which the trust account established in connection with the IPO must be
liquidated from May 18, 2009 to July 15, 2009.
Columbus has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC) to solicit the approval of Columbus stockholders of the Extension Amendments at a
special meeting of stockholders (the Special Meeting) of Columbus. The record date and the date
of the Special Meeting will be announced at a later date.
The press release announcing the Extension Amendments is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
is incorporated herein by reference.
