On November 7, 2016, Mr. Jonathan Goodwin resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Atlantic Alliance Partnership Corp. (the “Company”), and Mr. Waheed Alli resigned as the Chairman of the Company, each to pursue other professional interests. Such resignations were not the result of any disagreement with the Company.

Mr. Abrahams will continue to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Daniel Winston has been appointed to serve on the audit committee of the Board in lieu of Mr. Abrahams.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Abrahams and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Abrahams was appointed as an officer of the Company. In addition, there are no family relationships between Mr. Abrahams and any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer. Furthermore, since the inception of the Company, except for Mr. Abrahams’ ownership of shares in the sponsor of the Company and loans and advances provided to the Company by Mr. Abrahams, which loans and advances were subsequently converted into ordinary shares of the Company, as previously disclosed, there have been no transactions in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which Mr. Abrahams had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, and there are currently no such proposed transactions.
