The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) determined that Mr. Kilts will serve in a special advisory role to the Board moving forward, working closely with the Company’s management team in identifying and evaluating businesses for a potential business combination, as well as assisting management in presenting such opportunities to the Board for consideration. Mr. Kilts also will work closely with the Company’s management team to execute such a business combination and it is expected that he will have a meaningful role advising the combined company after completion of the business combination. The Board also determined that David J. West will now serve as the Company’s sole Chief Executive Officer.
