SCHEDULE
TO
Chart
Acquisition Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), Joseph R. Wright (“Mr. Wright”), Cowen Investments LLC (“Cowen”
and, together with the Sponsor and Mr. Wright, the “Purchasers”), The Chart Group L.P., the managing member of the

Items
1 through 11 are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As
previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 5,
2014, Chart received a written notice on September 2, 2014 from the staff of the Listing
Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that Chart was not in
compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), which requires Chart to maintain a minimum of
300 public holders for continued listing on NASDAQ, and that the NASDAQ Stock Market
had determined to initiate procedures to delist Chart’s securities. Chart appealed
such determination to a hearings panel (the “Panel”) and on October 23, 2014,
the NASDAQ Stock Market advised Chart that the Panel had granted the request for continued
listing subject to completing its business combination and achieving compliance with
all NASDAQ initial listing requirements, including but not limited to the minimum shareholder
requirements, by March 4, 2015.
On March 2, 2015, Chart received a letter
from the NASDAQ Stock Market stating that the Panel had determined to delist Chart’s securities from NASDAQ, and would suspend
trading in Chart’s securities effective at the open of business on March 5, 2015, due to Chart’s failure to demonstrate
compliance with the minimum shareholder requirements. The NASDAQ Stock Market further indicated that it would complete the delisting
action by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the SEC after all applicable appeal periods have lapsed. Chart intends
to appeal the Panel’s delisting determination to the NASDAQ Listing and Hearing Review Council. Chart’s common stock,
warrants and units began trading on the OTCQB market under the ticker symbols “CACG,” “CACGW” and “CACGU,”
respectively, effective with the open of the market on March 5, 2015. The OTCQB market is generally limited to companies that
are subject to, and current in, SEC reporting obligations.
