Explanatory Note

 

On December 20, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Roan Holdings Group Co, Ltd. (the “Registrant”) unanimously passed a resolution to amend the definition of “Class B Conversion Date” in the Registrant’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended M&A”). The Class B Conversion Date is the date on which all then outstanding Class B Preferred Shares of the Registrant shall automatically convert into Ordinary Shares of the Registrant. Under the Amended M&A, the Board is given the authority to amend the Class B Conversion Date on or prior to the then-applicable Class B Conversion Date, and thereby extend or reduce the maximum term for which the Class B Preferred Shares may be outstanding, by resolution and without approval of the holders of Class B Preferred Shares. The Class B Conversion Date was originally two years after the date on which the Class B Preferred Shares were issued. The Class B Conversion Date was previously amended to be (i) thirty months after such issuance date, (ii) thirty-three months after such issuance date, (iii) thirty-six months after such issuance date, (iv) March 31, 2023, (v) June 30, 2023 and (vi) December 31, 2023. The Class B Conversion Date is now being amended to be March 31, 2024.

 

The Registrant has filed the Amended M&A with the BVI Registry of Corporate Affairs effective December 27, 2023. A copy of the Amended M&A is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

provided that each of the above rights (and as the same are detailed herein) shall be read and exist subject to Regulation 23.7 for so long as that Regulation remains effective and for so long as such Regulation remains effective none of the Class A Preferred Shares entitle the holder thereof to (i) receive funds from or derived from the Trust Account; or (ii) vote on any Business Combination.

 

6.6

Each Class A Preferred Share shall be identical in all respects to every other Class A Preferred Share. The Class A Preferred Shares, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, shall rank (a) senior to all Junior Shares, (b) on parity with all Parity Shares and (c) junior to all Senior Shares and the Company’s existing and future indebtedness.

 

6.7

Dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares shall be payable pursuant to the following terms:

 

(a)

Subject to the rights of holders of any Shares ranking senior to the Class A Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, Class A Members shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds of the Company legally available therefor and subject to the applicable provisions of the Act and Regulation 5, cumulative dividends at the rate per annum of 8.0% on the Liquidation Preference per share of Class A Preferred Shares (the Class A Dividend Rate) (equivalent to US $0.96 per annum per share), payable, at the Company’s option, (i) in cash, (ii) in additional Class A Preferred Shares with an aggregate Liquidation Preference equal to the amount of the dividend, or (iii) in a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the amount of the dividend divided by the greater of the Floor Price and the Five Day Average Price. Declared dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares shall be payable annually on each Class A Dividend Payment Date at such annual rate, and dividends shall accumulate from the Initial Issue Date to the extent not paid. Declared dividends shall be payable on the relevant Class A Dividend Payment Date to Class A Members on the immediately preceding Class A Record Date, unless the Class A Preferred Shares held by such Class A Members on such Class A Record Date are converted into Ordinary Shares after such Class A Record Date and on or prior to the immediately succeeding Class A Dividend Payment Date.

 

If a Class A Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without any interest or other payment in lieu of interest accruing with respect to this delay.

 

 

Dividends payable on the Class A Preferred Shares for any Class A Dividend Period, including any partial Class A Dividend Period, shall be computed based upon the actual number of days elapsed during such period over a 360-day year (consisting of twelve 30-day months). Accumulated dividends shall not bear interest if they are paid subsequent to the applicable Class A Dividend Payment Date.

 

Except as described in this Clause 6.7(a), dividends on any Class A Preferred Share converted to Ordinary Shares shall cease to accumulate on the Mandatory Conversion Date or the Early Conversion Date (each, a Conversion Date), as applicable.

 

(b)

So long as any Class A Preferred Share remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on Ordinary Shares or any other Junior Shares, and no Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares or Parity Shares shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding Class A Dividend Periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum or number of Class A Preferred Shares or Ordinary Shares has been set apart for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding Class A Preferred Shares. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) a dividend payable on any Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares in Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares, or to the acquisition of Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares in exchange for, or through application of the proceeds of the sale of, any Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares; (ii) purchases of fractional interests in any Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Ordinary Shares of other Junior Shares or any securities exchangeable for or convertible into such Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares; (iii) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares in connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the forfeiture of unvested restricted shares or share withholdings upon exercise, delivery or vesting of equity awards granted to officers, directors and employees; (iv) any dividends or distributions of rights or Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares in connection with a shareholders’ rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan; (v) the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Ordinary Shares or other Junior Shares or Parity Shares for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians; (vi) the exchange or conversion of Junior Shares for or into other Junior Shares or of Parity Shares for or into other Parity Shares (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Shares; or (vii) the redemption or acquisition by the Company of Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

 

When dividends on Class A Preferred Shares have not been paid in full on any Class A Dividend Payment Date or declared and a sum or number of Class A Preferred Shares or Ordinary Shares sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the Class A Members thereof on the applicable Class A Record Date, no dividends may be declared or paid on any Parity Shares unless dividends are declared on the Class A Preferred Shares such that the respective amounts of such dividends declared on the Class A Preferred Shares and each such other class or series of Parity Shares shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the Class A Preferred Shares and such Parity Shares (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds) bear to each other; provided that any unpaid dividends will continue to accumulate.

 

 

6.8

In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Class A Member shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference per Class A Preferred Share, plus an amount (the Liquidation Dividend Amount) equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to (but excluding) the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its Members, after satisfaction of liabilities owed to the Company’s creditors and holders of any Senior Shares and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any Junior Shares, including, without limitation, Ordinary Shares.

 

(a)

None of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company), the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other person, the sale of a majority of the outstanding equity interests of the Company, nor other Reorganization Event or other similar transaction that results in a change in control of the Company shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, of the Company for the purposes of this Clause 6.8.

 

(b)

If, upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, the amounts payable with respect to (i) the Liquidation Preference plus the Liquidation Dividend Amount of the Class A Preferred Shares and (ii) the liquidation preference of, and the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on, all Parity Shares are not paid in full, the Class A Members and all holders of any Parity Shares shall share equally and ratably in any distribution of the Company’s assets in proportion to the respective liquidation preferences and amounts equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends to which they are entitled.

 

(c)

After the payment to any Class A Member of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and the Liquidation Dividend Amount for each of such Class A Member’s Class A Preferred Shares, such Class A Member as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

 

6.9

The Class A Preferred Shares shall not be subject to any sinking fund or other similar provisions.

 

6.10

Each Class A Preferred Share shall automatically convert (unless previously converted at the option of the Class A Member in accordance with Clause 6.11 on the Mandatory Conversion Date (Mandatory Conversion) provided such date is after the Business Combination, into a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Mandatory Conversion Rate.

 

(a)

The Mandatory Conversion Rate shall, subject to adjustment in accordance with Clause 6.14, be one Ordinary Share for each Class A Preferred Share.

 

(b)

If on or prior to the Class A Record Date immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date the Company has not declared and paid all or any portion of the accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares, the Mandatory Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that Class A Members receive an additional number of Ordinary Shares equal to the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends that have not been declared and paid (Mandatory Conversion Additional Conversion Amount) divided by the greater of the Floor Price and the Five-Day Average Price. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Mandatory Conversion Additional Conversion Amount exceeds the product of the number of additional Ordinary Shares and the Five-Day Average Price, the Company will not have any obligation to pay the shortfall in cash. Except as described in the first sentence of this paragraph, upon any Mandatory Conversion of any Class A Preferred Shares, the Company shall make no payment or allowance for undeclared dividends on such Class A Preferred Shares, unless such Mandatory Conversion occurs after the Class A Record Date for a declared dividend and on or prior to the immediately succeeding Class A Dividend Payment Date.

 

 

6.11

The Class A Members shall have the right to convert their Class A Preferred Shares, in whole or in part (but in no event less than one Class A Preferred Share), at any time prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date (Early Conversion) but not before the Business Combination, into Ordinary Shares at a rate of one Ordinary Share for each Class A Preferred Share (the Early Conversion Rate), subject to adjustment as described in Clause 6.14 and to satisfaction of the conversion procedures set forth in Clause 6.12.

 

The Directors, by Resolution of Directors, shall have the right to convert any or all of the Class A Preferred Shares, in whole or in part (but in no event less than one Class A Preferred Share), at any time prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date (Early Conversion), into Ordinary Shares at the Early Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment as described in Clause 6.14 and to satisfaction of the conversion procedures set forth in Clause 6.12.

 

If as of any Early Conversion Date the Company has not declared and paid all or any portion of the accumulated and unpaid dividends for all full Class A Dividend Periods ending on a Class A Dividend Payment Date prior to such Early Conversion Date, the Early Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, with respect to the relevant Early Conversion, so that the converting Class A Member receives an additional number of Ordinary Shares equal to the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends that have not been declared and paid for such full Class A Dividend Periods (the Early Conversion Additional Conversion Amount), divided by the greater of the Floor Price and the Average Closing Price per Ordinary Share over the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the third Trading Day immediately preceding the Early Conversion Date (such average being referred to as the Early Conversion Average Price). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Early Conversion Additional Conversion Amount exceeds the product of the number of additional Ordinary Shares and the Early Conversion Average Price, the Company will not have any obligation to pay the shortfall in cash. Except as described in the first sentence of this paragraph, upon any Early Conversion of any Class A Preferred Shares, the Company shall make no payment or allowance for undeclared dividends on such Class A Preferred Shares, unless such Early Conversion occurs after the Class A Record Date for a declared dividend and on or prior to the immediately succeeding Class A Dividend Payment Date.

 

6.12

Any conversion of Class A Preferred Shares shall be subject to the following procedures.

 

(a)

Pursuant to Clause 6.10, on the Mandatory Conversion Date, any outstanding Class A Preferred Shares shall automatically convert into Ordinary Shares. The person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon mandatory conversion of the Class A Preferred Shares shall be treated as the record holder(s) of such Ordinary Shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Mandatory Conversion Date irrespective of whether such conversion has yet been recorded in the register of members of the Company.

 

(b)

To effect an Early Conversion pursuant to Clause 6.11, a Class A Member must:

 

(i)

Complete, manually sign and deliver to the Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent a conversion notice in a form reasonably acceptable to such agent;

 

(ii)

if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

 

(iii)

if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any.

 

The Early Conversion shall be effective on the date on which a Class A Member has satisfied the foregoing requirements, to the extent applicable (Early Conversion Date). A Class A Member shall not be required to pay any transfer or similar taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares if such Class A Member exercises its conversion rights, but such Class A Member shall be required to pay any transfer or similar tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares in a name other than the name of such Class A Member. A certificate representing the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion shall be issued and delivered to the converting Class A Member, together with delivery by the Company to the converting Class A Member of any cash to which the converting Class A Member is entitled, on the later of the third Business Day immediately succeeding the Early Conversion Date and the Business Day after the Class A Member has paid in full all applicable taxes and duties, if any.

 

 

The person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon Early Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such Ordinary Shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Early Conversion Date. Except as set forth in Clause 6.15(c), prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on such applicable Early Conversion Date, the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Class A Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose, and Class A Members shall have no rights with respect to such Ordinary Shares (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Ordinary Shares and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Ordinary Shares) by virtue of holding Class A Preferred Shares.

 

In the event that an Early Conversion is effected with respect to Class A Preferred Shares representing less than all the Class A Preferred Shares held by a Class A Member, upon such Early Conversion the Company shall execute and instruct the Registrar and Transfer Agent to countersign and deliver to the Class A Member thereof, at the expense of the Company, a certificate evidencing the Class A Preferred Shares as to which Early Conversion was not effected.

 

(c)

Following any conversion of Class A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Memorandum or the Articles, the Company and the Board of Directors shall take all such action as is required to record as soon as possible such conversion in the register of members of the Company. Pending such recording however, such conversion shall be deemed to have taken place in accordance with this Memorandum and the Articles and the relevant shareholder shall be deemed to be the holder of the relevant Ordinary Shares in place of the relevant Class A Preferred Shares with effect from whenever such conversion is deemed to take effect under this Memorandum.

 

6.13

No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued as a result of any conversion of Class A Preferred Shares.

 

(a)

In lieu of any fractional share of Ordinary Shares otherwise issuable in respect of any Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Clause 6.10 or an Early Conversion pursuant to Clause 6.11, the Company shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the product of (i) that same fraction and (ii) the Five-Day Average Price.

 

(b)

If more than one Class A Preferred Share is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Class A Member, the number of full Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Class A Preferred Shares so surrendered.

 

6.14

Each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be subject to the following adjustments:

 

(a)

In addition to any adjustments pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c), if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of Ordinary Shares (the Purchase Rights), then each Class A Member will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Class A Member could have acquired if such Class A Member had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Class A Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Class A Preferred Shares) held by such Class A Member immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

 

(b)

Without limiting any provision of paragraph (a), if the Company at any time on or after the Closing Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares, then each Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of paragraph (a), if the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issue Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then each Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph (b) occurs during the period that a Fixed Conversion Rate is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Fixed Conversion Rate shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(c)

Without limiting any provision of paragraph (a), if the Company at any time on or after the Closing Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) its outstanding Class A Preferred Shares into a greater number of shares, then each Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately increased. Without limiting any provision of paragraph (a), if the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issue Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) its outstanding Class A Preferred Shares into a smaller number of shares, then each Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph (c) occurs during the period that a Fixed Conversion Rate is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Fixed Conversion Rate shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

6.15

The following shall apply to any adjustment pursuant to Clause 6.14.

 

(a)

All adjustments to each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Ordinary Shares. Prior to any Conversion Date, no adjustment in a Fixed Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent therein. If any adjustment by reason of this Clause 6.15(a) is not required to be made, such adjustment shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, that on the earlier of any Conversion Date or the effective date of any Reorganization Event, adjustments to each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward that has not been taken into account before such date.

 

(b)

No adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Rates shall be made if Class A Members may participate, at the same time, upon the same terms and otherwise on the same basis as holders of Ordinary Shares and solely as a result of holding Class A Preferred Shares, in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment as if they held, for each Class A Preferred Share, a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Mandatory Conversion Rate then in effect. In addition, the Fixed Conversion Rates shall not be adjusted:

 

(i)

upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Ordinary Shares under any plan;

 

(ii)

upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or rights or warrants to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

 

 

(iii)

upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issue Date;

 

(iv)

for accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares, except as provided under Clause 6.10 and Clause 6.11; or

 

(v)

upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to as part of ordinary dividends to holders of Ordinary Shares where holders are given the option to receive such dividend in the form of cash of Ordinary Shares.

 

(c)

Whenever the Fixed Conversion Rates are to be adjusted, the Company shall:

 

(i)

compute such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rates and prepare and transmit to the Transfer Agent a certificate of the Company, signed by any duly authorized Officer of the Company, setting forth such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rates, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based;

 

(ii)

as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Rates, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Class A Members of the occurrence of such event; and

 

(iii)

as soon as practicable following the determination of such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rates, provide, or cause to be provided, to the Class A Members a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustments to the Fixed Conversion Rates were determined and setting forth such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rates.

 

6.16

The Company or any duly authorised transfer agent shall enter on the register of members how many Shares are held by each member in uncertificated form and certificated form and shall maintain the register of members in each case as is required by the relevant system concerned. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles, a class or series of Shares shall not be treated as two classes by virtue only of that class or series comprising both certificated shares and uncertificated shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles which applies only in respect of certificated shares or uncertificated shares.

 

1.7

Nothing contained in Regulation 1.5 and 1.6 is meant to prohibit the Shares from being able to trade electronically. For the avoidance of doubt, Shares shall only be traded and transferred electronically upon consummation of the IPO.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors may also issue options, warrants, other rights to acquire shares or convertible securities in connection with the Company’s IPO.

FORFEITURE

 

3.1

Shares that are not fully paid on issue are subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Regulation and for this purpose Shares issued for a promissory note or a contract for future services are deemed to be not fully paid.

8.4

The Director convening a meeting of Members shall fix in the notice of the meeting the record date for determining those Members that are entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

8.5

A meeting of Members held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if Members holding at least 90 per cent of the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a Member at the meeting shall constitute waiver in relation to all the Shares which that Member holds.

 

8.6

The inadvertent failure of a Director who convenes a meeting to give notice of a meeting to a Member or another Director, or the fact that a Member or another Director has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

 

8.7

A Member may be represented at a meeting of Members by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the Member.

 

 

8.8

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place designated for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote.

8.10

The following applies where Shares are jointly owned:

 

(a)

if two or more persons hold Shares jointly each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of Members and may speak as a Member;

 

(b)

if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and

 

(c)

if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one and in the event of disagreement between any of the joint owners of Shares then the vote of the joint owner whose name appears first (or earliest) in the share register in respect of the relevant Shares shall be recorded as the vote attributable to the Shares.

 

8.11

A Member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

 

8.12

A meeting of Members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 35 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting. If the Company has two or more classes of shares, a meeting may be quorate for some purposes and not for others. A quorum may comprise a single Member or proxy and then such person may pass a Resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person holds a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Members.

 

 

8.13

If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting of Members, a quorum is not present, the meeting, at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall either be dissolved or stand adjourned to a business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall either be dissolved or stand further adjourned at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

8.14

At every meeting of Members, the Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman. If the Members are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting Shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual Member or representative of a Member present shall take the chair.

 

8.15

The person appointed as chairman of the meeting pursuant to Regulation 8.14 may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place. For the avoidance of doubt, a meeting can be adjourned for as many times as may be determined to be necessary by the chairman and a meeting may remain open indefinitely for as long a period as may be determined by the chairman.

 

8.16

At any meeting of the Members the chairman of the meeting responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

 

8.17

Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Members other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Member shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Member is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the Directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the Directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Member or the Company.

 

8.18

Any Member other than an individual may by resolution of its Directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Members or of any class of Members, and the individual so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which he represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual.

 

 

8.19

The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Member other than an individual may at the meeting but not thereafter call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Member shall be disregarded.

 

8.20

Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Members and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.

 

8.21

Any action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Members consented to in writing, without the need for any prior notice. If any Resolution of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

9.7

The Directors may at any time appoint any person to be a Director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors.

9.11

The Directors, or if the Shares (or depository receipts therefore) are listed or quoted on a Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the Designated Stock Exchange, any committee thereof, may, by a Resolution of Directors, fix the emoluments of Directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company.

 

9.12

A Director is not required to hold a Share as a qualification to office.

 

9.13

Prior to the consummation of any transaction with:

 

(a)

any affiliate of the Company;

 

(b)

any Member owning an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives such Member a significant influence over the Company;

 

(c)

any Director or executive officer of the Company and any relative of such Director or executive officer; and

 

 

 

(d)

any person in which a substantial interest in the voting power of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person referred to in Regulations 9.13(b) and (c) or over which such a person is able to exercise significant influence, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors who do not have an interest in the transaction, such directors having been provided with access (at the Company’s expense) to the Company’s attorney or independent legal counsel, unless the disinterested directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favourable to the Company than those that would be available to the Company with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

 

10

POWERS OF DIRECTORS

 

10.1

The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the Directors of the Company. The Directors of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The Directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members.

 

10.2

If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

 

10.3

If the Company is a subsidiary, but not a wholly owned subsidiary, of a holding company, and the shareholders other than the holding company agree in advance, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director in connection with the carrying out of the joint venture, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of a Member or some Members even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

 

10.4

If the Company is carrying out a joint venture between shareholders, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

 

10.5

Each Director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each Director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the Director believes to be the best interests of the Company.

 

10.6

Any Director which is a body corporate may appoint any individual as its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the Directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise.

 

10.7

The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body.

 

 

10.8

Subject to Regulation 23.7, the Directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party, provided always that if the same occurs prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company must first obtain from the lender a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account.

 

10.9

All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors.

The Directors of the Company or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the notice calling the meeting provides.

 

11.3

A Director is deemed to be present at a meeting of Directors if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Directors participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

 

11.4

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, a Director may not appoint an alternate. Following the consummation of a Business Combination, a Director may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a Director, any such alternate shall be entitled to attend meeting in the absence of the Director who appointed him and to vote or consent in place of the Director until the appointment lapses or is terminated.

 

11.5

A Director shall be given not less than three days’ notice of meetings of Directors, but a meeting of Directors held without three days’ notice having been given to all Directors shall be valid if all the Directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a Director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that Director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a Director, or the fact that a Director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

 

11.6

A meeting of Directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or, following the consummation of a Business Combination, by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of Directors, unless there are only two Directors in which case the quorum is two.

 

11.7

If the Company has only one Director the provisions herein contained for meetings of Directors do not apply and such sole Director has full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members. In lieu of minutes of a meeting the sole Director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

 

 

11.8

At meetings of Directors at which the Chairman of the Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. If the Directors are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the oldest individual Director present (and for this purpose an alternate Director shall be deemed to be the same age as the Director that he represents) shall take the chair.

 

11.9

An action that may be taken by the Directors or a committee of Directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution of a committee of Directors consented to in writing by all Directors or by all members of the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more Directors. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the date upon which the last Director has consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

 

12

Regulations 12.2(b) and (c) do not prevent a committee of Directors, where authorised by the Resolution of Directors appointing such committee or by a subsequent Resolution of Directors, from appointing a sub-committee and delegating powers exercisable by the committee to the sub-committee.

 

 

12.4

The meetings and proceedings of each committee of Directors consisting of 2 or more Directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors so far as the same are not superseded by any provisions in the Resolution of Directors establishing the committee.

Such officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Financial Officer (in each case there may be more than one of such officers), one or more vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers and such other officers as may from time to time be considered necessary or expedient. Any number of offices may be held by the same person.

 

13.2

14.2

For the purposes of Regulation 14.1, a disclosure to all other Directors to the effect that a Director is a member, Director or officer of another named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction.

Provided that the requirements of Regulation 9.13 have first been satisfied, a Director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may:

 

(a)

vote on a matter relating to the transaction;

 

(b)

attend a meeting of Directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the Directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and

INDEMNIFICATION

 

15.1

Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate against all direct and indirect costs, fees and Expenses of any type or nature whatsoever, any person who:

 

(a)

is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer, key employee, adviser of the Company or who at the request of the Company; or

 

(b)

is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a Director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise.

 

15.2

The indemnity in Regulation 15.1 only applies if the relevant Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

 

15.3

The decision of the Directors as to whether an Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved.

 

15.4

The termination of any Proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the relevant Indemnitee did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

15.5

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, purchase or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond in relation to any Indemnitee or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a Director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify him against the liability as provided in these Articles.
