Interests of the Sponsor and the Company’s Directors and Officers
When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:
•
If (x) the Amendment Proposal is approved, the Charter is amended and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date or (y) the Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, the 14,375,000 shares of Series F Common Stock held by the Sponsor as of the Record Date will be worthless (as the Sponsor has waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the 10,000,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor;
•
In connection with the IPO, the Sponsor and our officers and directors agreed that they shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Public Shares that it or they hold if we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date; however, if the Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter is amended, that agreement will be amended to allow the Sponsor and our officers and directors to redeem any such Public Shares in connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Company if we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date;
•
In connection with the IPO, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or prospective target businesses with which the Company has entered into certain agreements;
•
Each of our officers and directors has, and any of them in the future may have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to one or more entities pursuant to which such officer or director may be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entities before he or she presents such opportunity to us. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to another entity, he or she may only present such opportunity to us if such other entity rejects the opportunity;
•
We have entered into a services agreement and facilities sharing agreement pursuant to which we pay LMC and certain of its subsidiaries a total of $91,666 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon our liquidation, we may cease paying some or all of these monthly fees;
•
If (x) the Amendment Proposal is approved, the Charter is amended and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date or (y) the Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, so that the Company liquidates, the Company will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under the provisions in the Charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by the Company and exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions;
•
Each of the Company’s independent directors receives annual cash compensation of $75,000, and all of the current officers and directors are expected to continue to serve in their roles until the Company dissolves;
•
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination and, if (x) the Amendment Proposal is approved, the Charter is amended and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date or (y) the Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Original Termination Date, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement, therefore, the Company will most likely be unable to reimburse such expenses;
