PART I
Introduction
We are a blank check
company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on December 12, 2014 as a business company with limited liability. This means
that our shareholders have no additional liability for the company’s liabilities over and above the amount paid for their
shares. We were formed for the purpose of entering into an initial business combination with one or more target businesses, which
we refer to in this report as the initial business combination. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not
be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although we intend to focus our search on target businesses and assets
in the metals and mining industry, with an emphasis on gold and other precious metals.
We are led by our management
team of Thomas S. Kaplan, our Chairman, and Eric N. Vincent, our Chief Executive Officer. Messrs. Kaplan and Vincent are officers
of our sponsor and TEG, a privately held global natural resources investment management company that manages the assets of Mr.
Kaplan and other institutional investors. TEG is the investment advisor to Electrum Strategic Opportunities Fund L.P., or ESOF,
the majority owner of the sponsor, and will assist Messrs. Kaplan and Vincent in the sourcing, evaluation and execution of investment
opportunities.
Over the course of
their careers, Messrs. Kaplan and Vincent have developed a broad international network of contacts and corporate relationships
that we believe will serve as a useful source of investment opportunities. We will seek to capitalize on the global network and
investing and operating experience of our management team to identify, acquire and operate one or more businesses or assets in
the metals and mining industry within or outside of the United States, although we may pursue a business combination outside of
this industry. In the event that we elect to pursue an investment outside of metals and mining, our management’s expertise
related to that industry may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained herein regarding
this industry might not be relevant to an understanding of the business or asset that we elect to acquire.
We believe that our
management team is well positioned to take advantage of investment opportunities and that TEG’s deep domain expertise and
broad global network will allow us to identify, evaluate and consummate a business combination. Notably, we believe that the current
market environment, which has forced many metal and mining companies into a state of distress, has significantly increased the
number of investment opportunities in the sector. However, there is no assurance that we will complete an initial business combination
nor is there any guarantee that such initial business combination will be successful. The members of our management team are not
required to devote any significant amount of time to our business and are concurrently involved with other businesses. There is
no guarantee that our current officers and directors will continue in their respective roles, or in any other role, after our initial
business combination, and their expertise may only be of benefit to us until our initial business combination is completed, if
at all.
The registration statements
on Form S-1 (Nos. 333-203599 and 333-204866), which we refer to collectively as our “registration statement,” for our
initial public offering were declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 10, 2015.
On June 16, 2015, we consummated our initial public offering and sold 20,000,000 units, including 2,500,000 units issued pursuant
to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one warrant
to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject to adjustment as described in our registration
statement. Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of ordinary shares. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later
of June 16, 2016, which is the date 12 months from the date of the prospectus relating to our initial public offering, or 30 days
after the completion of our initial business combination, and will expire five years after the completion of our initial business
combination, or earlier upon redemption. In connection with the closing of our initial public offering, the underwriters notified
us that they would not be exercising the remainder of their over-allotment option. As a result, our initial shareholders forfeited
an aggregate of 31,250 ordinary shares so that the initial shareholders continued to collectively own 20.0% of our issued and outstanding
ordinary shares after the offering.
Simultaneously with
the consummation of our initial public offering, our sponsor and an entity controlled by Dwight W. Anderson, one of our directors,
purchased an aggregate of 14,050,000 private placement warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant in a private placement. We received
net proceeds of approximately $201,175,000 from our initial public offering and sale of the private placement warrants, net of
the non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions and underwriter advisory fees of $5,250,000 and offering costs and other
expenses of approximately $600,000. Of those net proceeds, a total of $6,750,000 is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts
and underwriter advisory fees, which have been deferred until the consummation of our initial business combination. $200,000,000
of the net proceeds were deposited in a trust account. Except for a portion of the interest earned on the funds held in the trust
account that may be released to us to pay any income or other tax obligations, none of the funds held in the trust account will
be released until the earlier of the completion of our initial business combination and the redemption of 100% of our public shares
if we are unable to consummate a business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering. If we do
not complete a business combination by that date, we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account
pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our
affairs.
Business Strategy
We believe that current
market conditions in the metals and mining industry, particularly with gold and other precious metals, should present the Company
with attractive acquisition opportunities. We intend to focus primarily on acquiring companies or assets valued between $200 million
and $800 million of enterprise value. We believe the metals and mining industry represents an attractive sector to search for target
businesses for the following reasons:
Capital Constraints. The
exploration, development and production of mining assets require substantial funding. As a result of trends in the mining industry,
including the declines in precious metals prices from their peak in 2011, declining grades, rising costs, unmet guidance, and resource
nationalism, many mining companies are experiencing difficulty attracting the significant capital needed to permit the exploration,
development or production of their assets.
Distressed Sales. Mining
companies may find themselves overleveraged and with the need to dispose of assets or sell controlling interests to raise proceeds
to repay indebtedness.
Historically Low
Valuations. Gold mining companies are trading at an eight-year low on an enterprise value-to-reserve and resource
basis, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence. Other metals and minerals are also trading at historically low levels.
We believe that these
factors may cause mining companies to seek a merger partner or to dispose of assets that may represent attractive acquisition opportunities.
We believe that our capital resources, together with the industry, transactional and operational experience of our management team,
should position us to take advantage of these opportunities. Additionally, we believe our management team’s capabilities,
including access to geologists, engineers and mining industry professionals with substantial industry experience, should provide
us a competitive advantage in identifying and evaluating attractive opportunities and completing transactions through the ability
to act quickly and efficiently. These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular
initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations,
factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.
We intend to implement
our business through disciplined valuation analyses and a rigorous due diligence and acquisition process that includes the following
elements:
Identifying opportunities. We
believe that the relationships and industry experience of our management team should enable us to identify attractive acquisition
opportunities. We intend to utilize a research-intensive, analytical process to source investment opportunities. Our management
team believes its reputation as a trusted strategic partner with meaningful operational, geological and technical expertise creates
opportunities to invest in businesses that are not as easily identified by traditional financial buyers.
Executing proficiently. We
believe that the due diligence capabilities available to our management team, including geologists, engineers and experienced transactional
professionals, should provide us the ability to evaluate the technical and geological merits of potential investments, and complete
acquisition opportunities proficiently.
Improving operations
and strategies. We believe that the industry and operational experience of our management team and its broad network
of industry relationships should enable us to improve the strategic and operational performance of the assets and businesses that
we acquire.
Engaging in corporate
development. We believe that the industry experience of our management team should enable us to recruit highly qualified
executives to manage the assets and businesses we acquire.
Value maximization. We
believe that the industry and transactional experience of our management team should enable us to identify opportunities to maximize
the value of the assets and businesses we acquire, including through dispositions, capital transactions and joint ventures. Additionally,
we believe that our management team will be viewed as a value-added partner to target companies by providing strategic, technical
and financial advice, including reinterpretation of geological data, lending TEG’s deep domain expertise to effect operational
improvement, introducing the target company to new institutional investors, and attracting equity research coverage.
Competitive Strengths
We believe our competitive
strengths to be the following:
Status as a public
company. We believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner to target businesses.
As an existing public company, we offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger
or other business combination. In this situation, the owners of the target business would exchange their shares of stock in the
target business for shares of our stock or for a combination of shares of our stock and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration
to the specific needs of the sellers. We believe target businesses might find this method a more certain and cost effective method
to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. In a typical initial public offering, there are additional
expenses incurred in marketing, roadshow and public reporting efforts that will likely not be present to the same extent in connection
with a business combination with us. Furthermore, once the business combination is consummated, the target business will have effectively
become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering,
as well as general market conditions, that could prevent the offering from occurring. Once public, we believe the target business
would then have greater access to capital and an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with shareholders’
interests than it would have as a privately-held company. Being public can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s
profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees.
While we believe that
our status as a public company will make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view the inherent
limitations in our status as a blank check company as a deterrent and may prefer to effect a business combination with a more established
entity or with a private company.
Financial position. With
funds held in trust available for our initial business combination initially in the amount of approximately $200,000,000, we offer
a target business a variety of options such as providing the owners of a target business with shares in a public company and a
public means to sell such shares, providing cash for stock, and providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its
operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to consummate our initial business
combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most
efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires.
However, since we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not taken any steps to secure third party
financing and it may not be available to us.
Management Operating
and Investing Experience. Over the course of their careers, the members of our management team have developed a
broad international network of contacts and corporate relationships which we believe will serve as a useful source of investment
opportunities. We will seek to capitalize on the global network and investing and operating experience of our management team to
identify, acquire and operate one or more businesses or assets in the mining industry, although we may pursue a business combination
outside of the mining industry. Our executive officers are officers of our sponsor and TEG, a privately held global natural resources
investment management company that manages the assets of Mr. Kaplan and other institutional investors. Mr. Kaplan has applied his
deep understanding of historical precedents to the natural resources markets and established his reputation as one of the thought
leaders within the precious metals sector. Over the last two decades, Mr. Kaplan has assembled a team of natural resources and
investment professionals to pursue investments across the industry.
TEG has demonstrated
an ability to transact successfully in the natural resources sector globally, generating significant returns by investing in high-quality
exploration and development opportunities that they believed would outperform the markets. Over the last 20 years, Mr. Kaplan and
the TEG management team have made multiple successful investments through various commodity cycles across a wide spectrum of the
natural resources industry, including in gold, silver, platinum, copper, gas and hydrocarbons.
Assistance from
TEG. In addition to Mr. Kaplan and Mr. Vincent, we expect TEG employees and consultants to help identify target businesses
and assist with the due diligence and the transaction execution for us in connection with a business combination. None of these
individuals are required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs. TEG is the investment advisor to ESOF, which is
the majority owner of the sponsor.
Effecting Our Initial Business Combination
General
We are not presently
engaged in, and we will not engage in, any substantive commercial business for an indefinite period of time. We intend to utilize
cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of private warrants, our shares, debt or
a combination of these in effecting our initial business combination. Although substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial
public offering and the private placement of private warrants are intended to be applied generally toward effecting a business
combination as described in this report, the proceeds are not otherwise being designated for any more specific purposes. Accordingly,
investors in our securities are investing without first having an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one
or more business combinations. Our initial business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which
does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding
what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense,
loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and state securities laws. In the alternative, we may seek to consummate
a business combination with a company that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. While we
may seek to effect simultaneous business combinations with more than one target business, we will probably have the ability, as
a result of our limited resources, to effect only a single business combination.
Sources of Target
Businesses
We anticipate that
target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture
capital funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds and other members of the financial community.
Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls
or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited
basis, since many of these sources will have read our registration statement and the other reports we file with the SEC and know
what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates, may also bring to our attention
target business candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries
or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. We may also engage professional firms or other individuals
that specialize in business acquisitions in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other
compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. We have no present intention
to enter into a business combination with a target business that is affiliated with any of our officers, directors or sponsor.
However, we are not restricted from entering into any such transactions and may do so if (1) such transaction is approved by a
majority of our disinterested and independent directors (if we have any at that time) and (2) we obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view.
As of the date of this report, there are no affiliated entities that we would consider as a business combination target.
Selection of a Target Business and Structuring
of Our Initial Business Combination
Subject to the limitation
that a target business have a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the execution
of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination, as described below in more detail, our management will have virtually
unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. Except for the general criteria and guidelines
set forth above under the caption “Business Strategy,” we have not established any specific attributes or criteria
(financial or otherwise) for prospective target businesses. Furthermore, we do not have any specific requirements with respect
to the value of a prospective target business as compared to our net assets or the funds held in the trust account.
Any evaluation relating
to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other
considerations deemed relevant by our management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objective. In
evaluating a prospective target business, we will conduct an extensive due diligence review which will encompass, among other things,
meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which is
made available to us. This due diligence review will be conducted either by our management or by unaffiliated third parties we
may engage.
The time and costs
required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination remain to be determined.
Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination
is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a business
combination.
Fair Market Value of Target Business
Pursuant to Nasdaq
listing rules, the target business or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80%
of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business
combination, although we may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance.
We currently anticipate structuring a business combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business
or businesses. We may, however, structure a business combination where we merge directly with the target business or where we acquire
less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management
team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company
owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in
the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Even if
the post-transaction parent company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior
to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed
to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we or a newly
formed public holding company issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of
a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial
number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of
the outstanding shares of the public parent company subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity
interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such
business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% trust account balance test. In
order to consummate such an acquisition, we may issue a significant amount of our debt or equity securities to the sellers of such
businesses and/or seek to raise additional funds through a public or private offering of debt or equity securities. Since we have
no specific business combination under consideration, we have not entered into any such fund raising arrangement and have no current
intention of doing so. The fair market value of the target will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more
standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value).
If our board is not able to independently determine that the target business has a sufficient fair market value, we will obtain
an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation
opinions on the type of target business we are seeking to acquire, with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. We will not
be required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders
valuation opinions on the type of target business we are seeking to acquire, as to the fair market value if our board of directors
independently determines that the target business complies with the 80% threshold.
Lack of Business Diversification
We expect to complete
only a single business combination, although this process may entail the simultaneous acquisitions of several operating businesses.
Therefore, at least initially, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single
business operation. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations of entities operating
in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify
our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating our initial business combination
with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:
| · | subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may
have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our initial business combination; |
| · | result in our dependency upon the successful development, construction and operation of a single
mining asset; and |
| · | result in our dependency upon the performance of a single operating business or the development
or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. |
If we determine to
simultaneously acquire several businesses and such businesses are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers
to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other acquisitions, which may make
it more difficult for us, and delay our ability, to complete the business combination. With multiple acquisitions, we could also
face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence
investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation of the operations
and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business.
Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target
Business’s Management Team
Although we intend
to scrutinize the management team of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business
combination, our assessment of the target business’ management team may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future
management team may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future
role of our officers and directors, if any, in the target business following our initial business combination remains to be determined.
While it is possible that some of our key personnel will remain associated in senior management or advisory positions with us following
our initial business combination, it is unlikely that they will devote their full time efforts to our affairs subsequent to our
initial business combination. Moreover, they would only be able to remain with the company after the consummation of our initial
business combination if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with the business combination.
Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the business combination and could provide for them to
receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to the company after the
consummation of the business combination. While the personal and financial interests of our key personnel may influence their motivation
in identifying and selecting a target business, their ability to remain with the company after the consummation of our initial
business combination will not be the determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we will proceed with any potential
business combination. Additionally, our officers and directors may not have significant experience or knowledge relating to the
operations of the particular target business.
Following our initial
business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business.
We may not have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that any such additional managers we do recruit will have the requisite
skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Shareholders May Not Have the Ability
to Approve an Initial Business Combination
In connection with
any proposed business combination, we will either (1) seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination at a meeting
called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against
the proposed business combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net
of taxes payable), or (2) provide our shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender
offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then
on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), in each case based on the number of public shares outstanding and subject
to the limitations described herein. If we determine to engage in a tender offer, such tender offer will be structured so that
each shareholder may tender all of his, her or its shares rather than some pro rata portion of his, her or its shares. The decision
as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares
to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing
of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. Unlike other
blank check companies which require shareholder votes and conduct proxy solicitations in conjunction with their initial business
combinations and related redemptions of public shares for cash upon consummation of such initial business combination even when
a vote is not required by law, we will have the flexibility to avoid such shareholder vote and allow our shareholders to sell their
shares pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act which regulate issuer tender offers. In that case, we will
file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial
business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. We will consummate our initial business combination only
if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and, solely if we seek shareholder approval, a majority
of the outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination.
We chose our net tangible
asset threshold of $5,000,001 to ensure that we would avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. However, if we seek to consummate an initial business combination with a target business that imposes any type of working
capital closing condition or requires us to have a minimum amount of funds available from the trust account upon consummation of
such initial business combination, our net tangible asset threshold may limit our ability to consummate such initial business combination
(as we may be required to have a lesser number of shares redeemed or sold to us) and may force us to seek third party financing
which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, we may not be able to consummate such initial business
combination and we may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all. Public shareholders
may therefore have to wait 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering in order to be able to receive a pro rata
share of the trust account.
Our sponsor and our
officers and directors have agreed (1) to vote any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of any proposed business combination,
(2) not to redeem any ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination
and (3) not sell any ordinary shares in any tender in connection with a proposed initial business combination.
None of our officers,
directors, sponsor or their affiliates has indicated any intention to purchase units or ordinary shares in the open market or in
private transactions. However, if we hold a meeting to approve a proposed business combination and a significant number of shareholders
vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against such proposed business combination, our officers, directors, sponsor or their affiliates
could make such purchases in the open market or in private transactions in order to influence the vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
our officers, directors, sponsor and their affiliates will not make purchases of ordinary shares if the purchases would violate
Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, which are rules designed to stop potential manipulation of a company’s
stock.
Redemption Rights
At any meeting called
to approve an initial business combination, any public shareholder, whether voting for or against such proposed business combination,
will be entitled to demand that his ordinary shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account
(initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released
to us to pay our taxes or for working capital). Alternatively, we may provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to sell
their ordinary shares to us through a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their
pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as
a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with
respect to 20% or more of the ordinary shares sold in our initial public offering. Accordingly, if you purchase more than 20% of
the ordinary shares sold in our initial public offering and our proposed business combination is approved, you will not be able
to seek redemption rights with respect to the full amount of your shares and may be forced to hold such additional ordinary shares
or sell them in the open market. Such a public shareholder would still be entitled to vote against a proposed business combination
with respect to all ordinary shares owned by him or his affiliates. We believe this restriction will prevent shareholders from
accumulating large blocks of shares before the vote held to approve a proposed business combination and attempt to use the redemption
right as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a substantial premium to the then current market price.
Our sponsor, as well
as our officers and directors, will not have redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares owned by them, directly or indirectly,
whether acquired prior to our initial public offering or, except in the case of our liquidation if we do not complete a business
combination as described below, purchased by them in our initial public offering or in the aftermarket.
We may also require
public shareholders who wish to redeem, whether they are a record holder or hold their shares in “street name,” to
either tender their certificates to our transfer agent at any time through the vote on the business combination or to deliver their
shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System,
at the holder’s option.
There is a nominal
cost associated with the above-referenced delivery process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the
DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not
to pass this cost on to the holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders to deliver
their shares prior to the vote on the business combination in order to exercise redemption rights. This is because a holder would
need to deliver shares to exercise redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated. However,
in the event we require shareholders to exercise redemption rights prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination
and the proposed business combination is not consummated, this may result in an increased cost to shareholders.
Any request to redeem
such shares once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the proposed business combination. Furthermore, if a holder
of a public share delivered his certificate in connection with an election of their redemption and subsequently decides prior to
the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, he may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate
(physically or electronically).
If the initial business
combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our public shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption
rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account. In such case, we will
promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to have their shares redeemed.
Liquidation if No Business Combination
If we do not complete
a business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible
but not more than ten business days thereafter, distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account pro rata to
our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs. This
redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be done automatically by function of our memorandum and articles
of association and prior to any voluntary winding up, although at all times subject to the Companies Act.
Following the redemption
of public shares, we intend to enter “voluntary liquidation” which is the statutory process for formally closing and
dissolving a company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Given that we intend to enter voluntary liquidation following
the redemption of public shareholders from the trust account, we do not expect that the voluntary liquidation process will cause
any delay to the payment of redemption proceeds from our trust account. In connection with such a voluntary liquidation, the liquidator
would give notice to creditors inviting them to submit their claims for payment, by notifying known creditors (if any) who have
not submitted claims and by placing a public advertisement in at least one newspaper published in the British Virgin Islands newspaper
and in at least one newspaper circulating in the location where the company has its principal place of business, and taking any
other steps he considers appropriate to identify the company’s creditors, after which our remaining assets would be distributed.
As soon as the affairs of the company are fully wound-up, the liquidator must complete his statement of account and make a notificational
filing with the Registrar. We would be dissolved once the Registrar issues a Certificate of Dissolution.
Our sponsor has agreed
to waive its redemption rights with respect to its insider shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within
the applicable period from the closing of our initial public offering.
However, if our sponsor,
or any of our officers, directors or affiliates acquire public shares after our initial public offering, they will be entitled
to redemption rights with respect to such public shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the required
time period. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless
in the event we do not consummate our initial business combination within the 24 month time period. We will pay the costs of our
liquidation from our remaining assets outside of the trust account. However, the liquidator may determine that he or it requires
additional time to evaluate creditors’ claims (particularly if there is uncertainty over the validity or extent of the claims
of any creditors). Also, a creditor or shareholder may file a petition with the BVI court which, if successful, may result in our
liquidation being subject to the supervision of that court. Such events might delay distribution of some or all of our remaining
assets.
Additionally, in any
liquidation proceedings of the company under British Virgin Islands law, the funds held in our trust account may be included in
our estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any such
claims deplete the trust account we may not be able to return to our public shareholders the liquidation amounts payable to them.
If we were to expend
all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking
into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution
would be $10.00 (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full). The proceeds deposited in
the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors, which would have higher priority than the claims
of our public shareholders. The actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00, plus interest
(net of any taxes payable).
Although we will seek
to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements
with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of
our public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that
they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach
of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case
in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any
third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform
an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed
a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any
alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement
of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those
of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing
to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the
future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against
the trust account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, ESOF agreed that it will be liable
to us, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business
with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the trust account to below $10.00 per
share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party
who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity
of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, ESOF will not be responsible to the extent
of any liability for such third party claims. However, ESOF may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers
or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target
businesses. We have not independently verified whether ESOF has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations. We believe
the likelihood of ESOF having to indemnify the trust account is limited because we will endeavor to have all vendors and prospective
target businesses as well as other entities execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind
in or to monies held in the trust account.
In the event that the
proceeds in the trust account are reduced below $10.00 per share and ESOF asserts that it is unable to satisfy any applicable obligations
or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether
to take legal action against ESOF to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors
would take legal action on our behalf against ESOF to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent
directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, due to claims
of creditors, the actual value of the per-share redemption price may be less than $10.00 per share.
We will seek to reduce
the possibility that ESOF will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors,
service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. ESOF will also not be liable as to any
claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. We will have access to up to $1,000,000 not placed in the trust account, and the interest income earned
on the balance of the trust account (net of taxes payable) with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses
incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $20,000). In the event that we
liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received
funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
If we are deemed insolvent
for the purposes of the Insolvency Act (i.e. (i) we fail to comply with the requirements of a statutory demand that has not been
set aside under section 157 of the Insolvency Act; (ii) execution or other process issued on a judgment, decree or order of a British
Virgin Islands Court in favor of a creditor of the company is returned wholly or partly unsatisfied; or (iii) either the value
of the company’s liabilities exceeds its assets, or the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due), then there
are very limited circumstances where prior payments made to shareholders or other parties may be deemed to be a “voidable
transaction” for the purposes of the Insolvency Act. A voidable transaction would include, for these purposes, payments made
as “unfair preferences” or “transactions at an undervalue”. A liquidator appointed over an insolvent company
who considers that a particular transaction or payment is a voidable transaction under the Insolvency Act could apply to the British
Virgin Islands Courts for an order setting aside that payment or transaction in whole or in part.
Additionally, if we
enter insolvent liquidation under the Insolvency Act, the funds held in our trust account will likely be included in our estate
and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any insolvency claims
deplete the trust account you may not be able to return to our public shareholders the liquidation amounts due them.
Our public shareholders
will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of a redemption to public shareholders prior to any
winding up in the event we do not consummate our initial business combination or our liquidation or if they redeem their shares
in connection with an initial business combination that we consummate. In no other circumstances shall a shareholder have any right
or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business
combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a shareholder’s
redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its
redemption rights described above.
Competition
In identifying, evaluating
and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to
ours. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations
directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our
financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there
may be numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering, our ability
to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses may be limited by our available financial resources.
The following also
may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses:
| · | our obligation to seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination or engage in a
tender offer may delay the completion of a transaction; |
| · | our obligation to redeem ordinary shares held by our public shareholders may reduce the resources
available to us for our initial business combination; |
| · | our outstanding warrants, and the potential future dilution they represent; |
| · | our obligation to either repay or issue private warrants upon conversion of up to $1,000,000 of
working capital loans that may be made to us by our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates; and |
| · | our obligation to register the resale of the insider shares, as well as the private warrants (and
underlying securities) and any securities issued to our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates upon conversion of working
capital loans. |
Any of these factors
may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating our initial business combination. Our management believes,
however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive
advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business with significant
growth potential on favorable terms.
If we succeed in effecting
our initial business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business.
Subsequent to our initial business combination, we may not have the resources or ability to compete effectively.
Employees
We have two executive
officers, neither of whom is paid a salary by us. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to
our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in
any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the business combination and the stage of the
business combination process the company is in. Accordingly, once a suitable target business to acquire has been located, management
will spend more time investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business combination (and consequently
spend more time on our affairs) than had been spent prior to locating a suitable target business. We do not intend to have any
full time employees prior to the consummation of our initial business combination.
Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial
Statements
We have registered
our units, ordinary shares and warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we
file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. These filings are available to the public via the Internet at the SEC’s
website located at http://www.sec.gov. You may also read and copy any document that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public
reference room located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. For more information, please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
You may request a copy of our filings with the SEC (excluding exhibits) at no cost by writing or telephoning us at the following
address or telephone number:
Electrum Special Acquisition
Corp.
c/o The Electrum Group
LLC
700 Madison Avenue,
5th Floor
New York, NY 10065
Tel: (646) 365-1600
We will provide shareholders
with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of any proxy solicitation materials or tender offer
documents sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. These financial statements will need to be prepared
in accordance with or reconciled to U.S. GAAP or IFRS as issued by the IASB. To the extent we furnish our shareholders with financial
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, such financial statements will need to be audited in accordance with U.S. GAAP at
the time of the consummation of the business combination. A particular target business identified by us as a potential acquisition
candidate may not have the necessary financial statements. To the extent that this requirement cannot be met, we may not be able
to acquire the proposed target business.
We are required to
evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only
in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer will we be required to have our internal control
procedures audited. A target company may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy
of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.
We are an emerging
growth company as defined in the JOBS Act and will remain such for up to five years. However, if our non-convertible debt issued
within a three-year period or our total revenues exceed $1 billion or the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by
non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would cease to be
an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year. As an emerging growth company, we have elected, under Section 107(b)
of the JOBS Act, to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Ownership of our
securities involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating
results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline and a holder of
our securities could lose all or part of its investment. This report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result
of specific factors, including the risks described below.
Risks Associated with Our Business
We are a recently-formed blank check
company with no operating history and, accordingly, you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business
objective.
We are a recently-formed
blank check company with no operating results to date. Since we do not have an operating history, you have no basis upon which
to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire an operating business. We will not generate any
revenues until, at the earliest, after the consummation of our initial business combination.
Our public shareholders may not be
afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination.
We will either (1)
seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders
may seek to require us to redeem their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination,
for their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide our
public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need
for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account
(net of taxes payable), in each case based on the number of public shares outstanding and subject to the limitations described
elsewhere in this report. Accordingly, it is possible that we will consummate our initial business combination even if holders
of a majority of our public shares do not approve of the business combination we consummate. The decision as to whether we will
seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender
offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction
and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. For instance, Nasdaq rules currently
allow us to engage in a tender offer in lieu of a shareholder meeting but would still require us to obtain shareholder approval
if we were seeking to issue more than 20% of our outstanding shares to a target business as consideration in any business combination.
Therefore, if we were structuring a business combination that required us to issue more than 20% of our outstanding shares, we
would seek shareholder approval of such business combination instead of conducting a tender offer.
Our security holders are not entitled
to protections normally afforded to investors of blank check companies.
Since the net proceeds
of our initial public offering are intended to be used to complete our initial business combination with a target business that
has not been identified, we may be deemed to be a “blank check” company under the U.S. securities laws. However, since
we had net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,001 upon the consummation of our initial public offering and filed a current report
on Form 8-K, including an audited balance sheet demonstrating this fact, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect
investors of blank check companies such as Rule 419. Accordingly, our security holders are not afforded the benefits or protections
of those rules which would, for example, completely restrict the transferability of our securities, require us to complete our
initial business combination within 18 months of the effective date of the initial registration statement and restrict the use
of interest earned on the funds held in the trust account. Because we are not subject to Rule 419, our units were immediately tradable
upon the consummation of our initial public offering, we will be entitled to withdraw interest income earned on the funds held
in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination and we will have a longer period of time to complete
such a business combination than we would if we were subject to such rule.
We may issue shares of our stock
to complete our initial business combination, which would reduce the equity interest of our shareholders and could cause a change
in control of our ownership.
Our memorandum and
articles of association authorize the issuance of an unlimited amount of both ordinary shares of no par value and preferred shares
of no par value. Although we have no commitment as of the date of this report, we may issue a substantial number of additional
ordinary or preferred shares, or a combination of ordinary and preferred shares, to complete our initial business combination.
The issuance of additional ordinary and/or preferred shares:
| · | may significantly reduce the equity interest of our existing shareholders; |
| · | may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if we issue preferred shares with rights
senior to those afforded to our ordinary shares; |
| · | may cause a change in control if a substantial number of ordinary shares are issued, which may
affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation
or removal of our present officers and directors; and |
| · | may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, ordinary shares and/or warrants. |
We may incur significant indebtedness
in order to consummate our initial business combination.
If we find it necessary
to incur significant indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, it could result in:
| · | default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after our initial business combination
are insufficient to repay our debt obligations; |
| · | acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest
payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a
waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; |
| · | our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable
on demand; and |
| · | our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants
restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding. |
The funds held in the trust account
may not earn significant interest and, as a result, we may be limited to the funds held outside of the trust account to fund our
search for target businesses, to pay our tax obligations and to complete our initial business combination.
Of the net proceeds
of our initial public offering, only approximately $1,000,000 was initially available to us outside the trust account to fund our
working capital requirements. We will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the trust account to pay
any tax obligations that we may owe. Interest rates on permissible investments for us have been less than 1% over the last several
years. Accordingly, if we do not earn a sufficient amount of interest on the funds held in the trust account and use all of the
funds held outside of the trust account, we may not have sufficient funds available with which to structure, negotiate or close
our initial business combination. In such event, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, officers or directors to operate
or may be forced to liquidate. Our sponsor, officers and directors are under no obligation to loan us any funds. If we are unable
to obtain the funds necessary, we may be forced to cease searching for a target business and may be unable to complete our initial
business combination.
If we liquidate, distributions, or
part of them, may be delayed while the liquidator determines the extent of potential creditor claims.
Pursuant to, among
other documents, our memorandum and articles of association, if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months
from the closing of our initial public offering, this will trigger an automatic redemption of our ordinary shares using the available
funds in the trust account pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association, resulting in our repayment of available funds
in the trust account. Thereafter, we will proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the company.
In connection with such a voluntary liquidation, the liquidator would give notice to our creditors inviting them to submit their
claims for payment, by notifying known creditors (if any) who have not submitted claims and by placing a public advertisement in
at least one newspaper published in the British Virgin Islands and in at least one newspaper circulating in the location where
the company has its principal place of business, and taking any other steps the liquidator considers appropriate, after which our
remaining assets would be distributed.
As soon as our affairs
are fully wound-up, if we were to liquidate, the liquidator must complete his statement of account and will then notify the Registrar
of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands, or the Registrar, that the liquidation has been completed. However, the liquidator
may determine that he or she requires additional time to evaluate creditors’ claims (particularly if there is uncertainty
over the validity or extent of the claims of any creditors). Also, a creditor or shareholder may file a petition with the British
Virgin Islands Court, which, if successful, may result in our liquidation being subject to the supervision of that court. Such
events might delay distribution of some or all of our remaining assets.
In any liquidation
proceedings of the company under British Virgin Islands law, the funds held in our trust account may be included in our estate
and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any such claims deplete
the trust account we may not be able to return to our public shareholders the redemption amounts payable to them.
If we do not maintain a current and
effective prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, public holders will only be able to
exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis.”
If we do not maintain
a current and effective prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants at the time that
holders wish to exercise such warrants, they will only be able to exercise them on a “cashless basis.” As a result,
the number of ordinary shares that holders will receive upon exercise of the public warrants will be fewer than it would have been
had such holders exercised their warrants for cash. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts
to maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the
expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to do so, the potential
“upside” of the holder’s investment in our company may be reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the private
warrants and any other warrants that may be issued to our officers, directors, sponsor or their affiliates as described elsewhere
in this report may be exercisable for unregistered ordinary shares for cash even if the prospectus relating to the ordinary shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not current and effective.
An investor will be able to exercise
a warrant only if the issuance of ordinary shares upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or is deemed exempt under
the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants.
No public warrants
will be exercisable for cash and we will not be obligated to issue ordinary shares unless the shares issuable upon such exercise
have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the
warrants. At the time that the warrants become exercisable, we expect to continue to be listed on a national securities exchange,
which would provide an exemption from registration in every state. Accordingly, we believe holders in every state will be able
to exercise their warrants as long as our prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is
current. However, we cannot assure you of this fact. If the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not qualified
or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the warrants may be deprived of
any value, the market for the warrants may be limited and they may expire worthless if they cannot be sold.
We may amend the terms of the warrants
in a way that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of 65% of the then outstanding warrants.
Our warrants are issued
in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us.
The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity
or correct any defective provision. The warrant agreement requires the approval by the holders of 65% of the then outstanding warrants
(including the private warrants) in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. Our
sponsor and its designees own approximately 45% of the outstanding warrants. Therefore, we would only need approval from holders
of approximately 20% of the outstanding public warrants to amend the terms of the warrants.
Since we are not limited to a particular
industry or target business with which to complete our initial business combination, we are unable to currently ascertain the merits
or risks of the industry or business in which we may ultimately operate.
Although we intend
to focus our search on target businesses in the metals and mining industry, we may consummate our initial business combination
with a company in any industry we choose and are not limited to any particular industry or type of business. Accordingly, there
is no current basis for you to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate
or the target business which we may ultimately acquire. To the extent we complete our initial business combination with a financially
unstable company or an entity in its development stage, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations
of those entities. If we complete our initial business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level
of risk, we may be affected by the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate
the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we may not properly ascertain or assess all of the significant
risk factors. An investment in our securities may not ultimately prove to be more favorable to our security holders than a direct
investment, if an opportunity were available, in a target business.
Our officers and directors may not
have significant experience or knowledge regarding the jurisdiction or industry of the target business we may seek to acquire.
We may consummate a
business combination with a target business in any geographic location or industry we choose. Our officers and directors may not
have enough experience or sufficient knowledge relating to the jurisdiction of the target or its industry to make an informed decision
regarding our initial business combination.
The requirement that the target business
or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the
trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination may limit the type and
number of companies that we may complete such a business combination with.
Pursuant to the Nasdaq
listing rules, the target business or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80%
of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business
combination. This restriction may limit the type and number of companies that we may complete a business combination with. If we
are unable to locate a target business or businesses that satisfy this fair market value test, we may be forced to liquidate and
you will only be entitled to receive your pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account.
Our management may not be able to
maintain control of a target business after our initial business combination. We cannot provide assurance that, upon loss of control
of a target business, new management will possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to profitably operate such
business.
We may structure a
business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares will own less than 100% of
the equity interests or assets of a target business, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction
company, in which our public shareholders own shares, acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or
otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for us not to be required to register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. We will not consider any transaction that does not meet such criteria. Even if the post-transaction
company, in which our public shareholders own shares, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders
prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post business combination company, depending
on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction
in which we issue a substantial number of new ordinary shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target.
In this case, we would acquire a 100% interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new
ordinary shares, our shareholders immediately prior to such transaction could own less than a majority of our outstanding ordinary
shares subsequent to such transaction. In addition, other minority shareholders may subsequently combine their holdings resulting
in a single person or group obtaining a larger share of our stock than we initially acquired. Accordingly, this may make it more
likely that our management will not be able to maintain our control of the target business.
Our ability to successfully effect
our initial business combination and to be successful thereafter will be totally dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel,
some of whom may join us following our initial business combination. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage
after our initial business combination, our assessment of these individuals may not prove to be correct.
Our ability to successfully
effect our initial business combination is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. We believe that our success depends
on the continued service of our key personnel, at least until we have consummated our initial business combination. None of our
officers are required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, they will have conflicts of interest
in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and performing
and monitoring the related due diligence. We do not have employment agreements with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of
our officers. The unexpected loss of the services of our key personnel could have a detrimental effect on us.
The role of our key
personnel after our initial business combination, however, remains to be determined. Although some of our key personnel may serve
in senior management or advisory positions following our initial business combination, it is likely that most, if not all, of the
management of the target business will remain in place. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage after our
initial business combination, our assessment of these individuals may not prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar
with the requirements of operating a public company which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become
familiar with such requirements. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues which may
adversely affect our operations.
Our key personnel may negotiate employment
or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements may provide
for them to receive compensation following our initial business combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of
interest in determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous.
Our key personnel will
be able to remain with the company after the consummation of our initial business combination only if they are able to negotiate
employment or consulting agreements or other appropriate arrangements in connection with the business combination. Such negotiations
would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the business combination and could provide for such individuals to receive
compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to the company after the consummation
of the business combination. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying
and selecting a target business.
Our officers and directors will allocate
their time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our
affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate our initial business combination.
Our officers and directors
are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time
between our operations and their other commitments. We presently expect each of our officers and directors to devote such amount
of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the
consummation of our initial business combination. All of our officers and directors are engaged in several other business endeavors
and are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs. If our officers’ and directors’ other
business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote
time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate our initial business combination. These conflicts
may not be resolved in our favor.
Our officers and directors or their
affiliates have pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining
to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
Our officers and directors
or their affiliates have pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations to other companies, including companies that are engaged
in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us. Accordingly, they may participate in transactions and have
obligations that may be in conflict or competition with our consummation of our initial business combination. As a result, a potential
target business may be presented by our management team to another entity prior to its presentation to us and we may not be afforded
the opportunity to engage in a transaction with such target business.
The shares beneficially owned by
our sponsor, officers and directors will not participate in liquidation distributions and, therefore, our officers and directors
may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for our initial business combination.
Our sponsor and our
officers and directors have waived their right to redeem their insider shares or any other ordinary shares acquired in our initial
public offering or thereafter, or to receive distributions with respect to their insider shares upon our liquidation if we are
unable to consummate our initial business combination. Accordingly, the insider shares will be worthless if we do not consummate
our initial business combination. The private warrants and any other warrants they acquire will also be worthless if we do not
consummate an initial business combination. The personal and financial interests of our sponsor, officers and directors may influence
their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, our
directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict
of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and
in our shareholders’ best interest.
Nasdaq may delist our securities
from quotation on its exchange which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us
to additional trading restrictions.
Our securities are
currently listed on Nasdaq, a national securities exchange. Although we currently meet the minimum initial listing standards of
Nasdaq, which generally only requires that we meet certain requirements relating to shareholders’ equity, market capitalization,
aggregate market value of publicly held shares and distribution, our securities may not continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the
future prior to an initial business combination. Generally, we must maintain a minimum amount in shareholders’ equity (generally
$2,500,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (generally 300 round-lot holders). Additionally, in connection with
our initial business combination, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements,
which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our
securities on Nasdaq. We may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time.
If Nasdaq delists our
securities from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
| · | a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; |
| · | reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; |
| · | a determination that our shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading
in our shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading
market for our shares; |
| · | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and |
| · | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
We may only be able to complete one
business combination with the proceeds of our initial public offering, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business
which may have a limited number of products, services or potential sources of revenue.
It is likely we will
consummate our initial business combination with a single target business, although we have the ability to simultaneously acquire
several target businesses. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject
us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or
benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete
several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our
success may be:
| · | solely dependent upon the performance of a single business; |
| · | dependent upon the successful development, construction and operation of a single mining asset;
or |
| · | dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products,
processes or services. |
This lack of diversification may subject
us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon
the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our initial business combination.
Alternatively, if we
determine to simultaneously acquire several businesses and such businesses are owned by different sellers, we will need for each
of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other business combinations,
which may make it more difficult for us, and delay our ability, to complete the business combination. With multiple business combinations,
we could also face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and
due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation
of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business. If we are unable to adequately
address these risks, it could negatively impact our profitability and results of operations.
The ability of our public shareholders
to exercise their redemption rights or sell their shares to us in a tender offer may not allow us to effectuate the most desirable
business combination or optimize our capital structure.
If our initial business
combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay the purchase price, because we will not know how many public
shareholders may exercise redemption rights or seek to sell their shares to us in a tender offer, we may either need to reserve
part of the trust account for possible payment upon such redemption or sale, or we may need to arrange third party financing to
help fund our initial business combination. In the event that the acquisition involves the issuance of our shares as consideration,
we may be required to issue a higher percentage of our shares to make up for a shortfall in funds. Raising additional funds to
cover any shortfall may involve dilutive equity financing or incurring indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. This may limit
our ability to effectuate the most attractive business combination available to us.
We may be unable to consummate an
initial business combination if a target business requires that we have a certain amount of cash at closing, in which case public
shareholders may have to remain shareholders of our company and wait until our redemption of the public shares to receive a pro
rata share of the trust account or attempt to sell their shares in the open market.
A potential target
may make it a closing condition to our initial business combination that we have a certain amount of cash in excess of the $5,000,001
of net tangible assets we are required to have pursuant to our organizational documents available at the time of closing. If the
number of our public shareholders electing to exercise their redemption rights has the effect of reducing the amount of money available
to us to consummate an initial business combination below such minimum amount required by the target business and we are not able
to locate an alternative source of funding, we will not be able to consummate such initial business combination and we may not
be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all. In that case, public shareholders may have
to remain shareholders of our company and wait the full 24 months in order to be able to receive a pro rata portion of the trust
account, or attempt to sell their shares in the open market prior to such time, in which case they may receive less than a pro
rata share of the trust account for their shares.
If we hold a shareholder meeting
to approve any initial business combination, we will offer each public shareholder the option to vote in favor of the proposed
business combination and still seek redemption of his, her or its shares.
In connection with
any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public shareholder (but not our initial shareholders)
the right to have his, her or its ordinary shares redeemed for cash (subject to the limitations described elsewhere in this report)
regardless of whether such shareholder votes for or against such proposed business combination. We will consummate our initial
business combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and, solely if we seek shareholder
approval, a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. Accordingly, public
shareholders owning a substantial majority of the shares sold in our initial public may exercise their redemption rights and we
could still consummate a proposed business combination so long as a majority of shares voted at the meeting are voted in favor
of the proposed business combination. This threshold and the ability to seek redemption while voting in favor of a proposed business
combination may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination.
Public shareholders that fail to
vote either in favor of or against a proposed business combination will not be able to have their shares redeemed for cash.
If we hold a meeting
to approve a proposed business combination, public shareholders must vote either in favor of or against a proposed business combination
in order to have their shares redeemed to cash. If a public shareholder fails to vote in favor of or against a proposed business
combination, whether that shareholder abstains from the vote or simply does not vote, that shareholder would not be able to have
his, her or its ordinary shares so redeemed for cash.
Public shareholders, together with
any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted
from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 20% of the ordinary shares sold in our initial public offering.
In connection with
any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public shareholder (but not our initial shareholders)
the right to have his, her or its ordinary shares redeemed for cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together
with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” will be restricted
from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 20% of the ordinary shares sold in our initial public offering. Generally,
in this context, a shareholder will be deemed to be acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder when such shareholders
agree to act together for the purpose of acquiring, voting, holding or disposing of our equity securities. Accordingly, if you
purchase more than 20% of the ordinary shares sold in our initial public offering and our proposed business combination is approved,
you will not be able to seek redemption rights with respect to the full amount of your shares and may be forced to hold such additional
shares or sell them in the open market. The value of such additional ordinary shares may not appreciate over time following our
initial business combination, and the market price of our ordinary shares may not exceed the per-share redemption price.
In connection with any shareholder
meeting called to approve a proposed initial business combination, we may require public shareholders who wish to redeem their
ordinary shares to comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their
redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.
In connection with
any shareholder meeting called to approve a proposed initial business combination, each public shareholder will have the right,
regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed business combination, to demand that we redeem his ordinary shares
for his pro rata portion of the cash held in the trust account. We may require public shareholders who wish to redeem their ordinary
shares in connection with a proposed business combination to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent at any time
prior to the vote taken at the shareholder meeting relating to such business combination or to deliver their shares to the transfer
agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System. In order to obtain
a physical stock certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act
to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical
certificates from the transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC,
it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. While we have been advised that it takes
a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System, this may not be the case. Accordingly, if it takes longer than we anticipate
for shareholders to deliver their shares, shareholders who wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their
redemption rights and thus may be unable to redeem their shares.
If, in connection with any shareholder
meeting called to approve a proposed business combination, we require public shareholders who wish to redeem their ordinary shares
to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such redeeming shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when
they wish to in the event that the proposed business combination is not approved.
If we require public
shareholders who wish to redeem their ordinary shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption described above
and such proposed business combination is not consummated, we will promptly return such certificates to the tendering public shareholders.
Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after
the failed acquisition until we have returned their securities to them. The market price for our shares may decline during this
time and you may not be able to sell your securities when you wish to, even while other shareholders that did not seek redemption
may be able to sell their securities.
Because of our structure, other companies
may have a competitive advantage and we may not be able to consummate an attractive business combination.
We expect to encounter
intense competition from entities other than blank check companies having a business objective similar to ours, including private
equity funds and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive
experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess
greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted
with those of many of these competitors. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire
with the net proceeds of our initial public offering, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will
be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the
acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, seeking shareholder approval of our initial business combination may delay
the consummation of a transaction. Additionally, the insider shares and our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they
represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of the foregoing may place us at a competitive disadvantage
in successfully negotiating our initial business combination.
Our ability to consummate an attractive
business combination may be impacted by the market for initial public offerings.
Our efforts to identify
a prospective target business will not be limited to any particular industry or geographic region, although it is very likely that
our target will want to be a public reporting company. If the market for initial public offerings is limited, we believe there
will be a greater number of attractive target businesses open to being acquired by us as a means to achieve publicly held status.
Alternatively, if the market for initial public offerings is robust, we believe that there will be fewer attractive target businesses
amenable to being acquired by us to become a public reporting company. Accordingly, during periods with strong public offering
markets, it may be more difficult for us to complete an initial business combination.
We may be unable to obtain additional
financing, if required, to complete our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target business,
which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination.
Although we believe
that the net proceeds of our initial public offering will be sufficient to allow us to consummate a business combination, because
we have not yet identified any prospective target business, the capital requirements for any particular transaction remain to be
determined. If the net proceeds of our initial public offering prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the business
combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or the obligation to redeem for cash a
significant number of ordinary shares, we will be required to seek additional financing. Such financing may not be available on
acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular
business combination, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination
and seek an alternative target business candidate. In addition, if we consummate a business combination, we may require additional
financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material
adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or sponsor is required
to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination.
Our initial shareholders control
a substantial interest in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring a shareholder vote.
Our initial shareholders
will collectively own 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. None of our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates
has indicated any intention to purchase any units or shares from persons in the open market or in private transactions. However,
our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates could determine in the future to make such purchases in the open market or
in private transactions, to the extent permitted by law. In connection with any vote for a proposed business combination, our sponsor,
as well as all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote the ordinary shares owned by them immediately before our initial
public offering as well as any ordinary shares acquired in our initial public offering or in the aftermarket in favor of such proposed
business combination.
Our board of directors
is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being
elected in each year. It is unlikely that there will be an annual meeting of shareholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation
of our initial business combination, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office until at least the consummation
of the business combination. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your voting rights under corporate law for up to 24 months.
If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of our “staggered” board of directors, fewer than half of the board
of directors will be considered for election and our sponsor, because of its ownership position, will have considerable influence
regarding the outcome. Accordingly, our sponsor will continue to exert control at least until the consummation of our initial business
combination.
If we do not hold an annual meeting
of shareholders until after the consummation of our initial business combination, shareholders will not be afforded an opportunity
to elect directors and to discuss company affairs with management until such time.
Unless otherwise required
by law or the Nasdaq Capital Market, we do not currently intend to call an annual meeting of shareholders until after we consummate
our initial business combination. If our shareholders want us to hold a meeting prior to our consummation of our initial business
combination, they may do so by members holding not less than 30% of voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting
is requested making a request in writing to the directors in accordance with Section 82(2) of the Companies Act. Under British
Virgin Islands law, we may not increase the required percentage to call a meeting above 30%. Until we hold an annual meeting of
shareholders, public shareholders may not be afforded the opportunity to elect directors and to discuss company affairs with management.
Our outstanding warrants may have
an adverse effect on the market price of ordinary shares and make it more difficult to effect a business combination.
We issued warrants
to purchase 10,000,000 ordinary shares as part of the units sold in our initial public offering and issued private warrants to
purchase 7,025,000 ordinary shares. We may also issue additional warrants to our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates
upon redemption of promissory notes issued to such entities or individuals for loans made to supplement our working capital requirements,
as described elsewhere in this report. To the extent we issue ordinary shares to effect a business combination, the potential for
the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares upon exercise of these warrants could make us a less attractive acquisition
vehicle in the eyes of a target business. Such securities, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding ordinary
shares and reduce the value of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, our warrants may make it more
difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the target business. Additionally, the sale, or
even the possibility of sale, of the shares underlying the warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities
or on our ability to obtain future financing. If and to the extent these warrants are exercised, you may experience dilution to
your holdings.
We may redeem the warrants at a time
that is not beneficial to public investors.
We may call the public
warrants for redemption at any time after the redemption criteria described elsewhere in this report have been satisfied. If we
call the public warrants for redemption, public shareholders may be forced to accept a nominal redemption price or sell or exercise
the warrants when they may not wish to do so.
Our management’s ability to
require holders of our warrants to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer ordinary shares
upon their exercise of the warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise their warrants for cash.
If we call our public
warrants for redemption after the redemption criteria described elsewhere in this report have been satisfied, our management will
have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant (including any warrants held by our sponsor, officers,
directors or their permitted transferees) to do so on a “cashless basis.” If our management chooses to require holders
to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, the number of ordinary shares received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer
than it would have been had such holder exercised his warrant for cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential “upside”
of the holder’s investment in our company.
Because each warrant is exercisable
for only one-half of one ordinary share, the units may be worth less than units of other blank check companies.
Each warrant is exercisable
for one-half of one ordinary share. Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of ordinary shares. No fractional shares
will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. This is different from other offerings similar to ours whose units include one ordinary
share and one warrant to purchase one whole share. We have established the components of the units in this way in order to reduce
the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of a business combination since the warrants will be exercisable in the aggregate
for half of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a warrant to purchase one whole share, thus making us, we
believe, a more attractive merger partner for target businesses. Nevertheless, this unit structure may cause our units to be worth
less than if it included a warrant to purchase one whole share.
If our security holders exercise
their registration rights, it may have an adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares and the existence of these
rights may make it more difficult to effect our initial business combination.
The holders of the
insider shares are entitled to demand that we register the resale of the insider shares and the holders of the private warrants
are entitled to demand that we register the resale of the private warrants (and underlying securities) and any securities our sponsor,
officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to us. The presence of these additional
securities trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities. In addition, the existence
of these rights may make it more difficult to effectuate our initial business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the
target business, as the stockholders of the target business may be discouraged from entering into a business combination with us
or will request a higher price for their securities because of the potential effect the exercise of such rights may have on the
trading market for our ordinary shares.
If we are deemed to be an investment
company, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make
it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
A company that, among
other things, is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing,
reinvesting, owning, trading or holding certain types of securities would be deemed an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Since we will invest the proceeds held in the trust account, it is possible that we could be deemed an investment
company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment
Company Act of 1940. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in United States government
treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions
under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. By restricting
the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, we intend to meet the requirements for the exemption provided in Rule 3a-1
promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
If we are nevertheless
deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we may be subject to certain restrictions that may
make it more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination, including:
| · | restrictions on the nature of our investments; and |
| · | restrictions on the issuance of securities. |
In addition, we may
have imposed upon us certain burdensome requirements, including:
| · | registration as an investment company; |
| · | adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and |
| · | reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy, compliance policies and procedures and disclosure requirements
and other rules and regulations. |
Compliance with these additional regulatory
burdens would require additional expense for which we have not allotted.
We are not subject to the supervision
of the Financial Services Commission of the British Virgin Islands and so our shareholders are not protected by any regulatory
inspections in the British Virgin Islands.
We are not an entity
subject to any regulatory supervision in the British Virgin Islands by the Financial Services Commission. As a result, shareholders
are not protected by any regulatory supervision or inspections by any regulatory agency in the British Virgin Islands and we are
not required to observe any restrictions in respect of our conduct save as disclosed in the prospectus from our initial public
offering or our memorandum and articles of association.
If we are unable to consummate our
initial business combination, our public shareholders may be forced to wait up to 24 months before redemption from our trust account.
If we are unable to
consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, we will, as promptly
as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust
account, pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up
of our affairs by way of a voluntary liquidation, as further described herein. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust
account shall be effected automatically by function of our memorandum and articles of association prior to our commencing any voluntary
liquidation. If we are required to liquidate prior to distributing the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account pro
rata to our public shareholders, then such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions
of the Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond 24 months before the redemption proceeds of our trust
account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our trust account.
We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless we consummate our
initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their ordinary shares.
Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete
our initial business combination.
If we are deemed to be insolvent,
distributions, or part of them, may be delayed while the insolvency liquidator determines the extent of potential creditor claims.
In these circumstances, prior payments made by the company may be deemed “voidable transactions.”
If we do not complete
our initial business combination within 24 months, this will trigger an automatic redemption of public shareholders from the trust
account pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association.
However, if at any
time we are deemed insolvent for the purposes of the Insolvency Act (i.e. (i) we fail to comply with the requirements of a statutory
demand that has not been set aside under section 157 of the Insolvency Act; (ii) execution or other process issued on a judgment,
decree or order of a British Virgin Islands Court in favor of a creditor of the company is returned wholly or partly unsatisfied;
or (iii) either the value of the company’s liabilities exceeds its assets, or the company is unable to pay its debts as they
fall due), we are required to immediately enter insolvent liquidation. In these circumstances, a liquidator will be appointed who
will give notice to our creditors inviting them to submit their claims for payment, by notifying known creditors (if any) who have
not submitted claims and by placing a public advertisement in at least one newspaper published in the British Virgin Islands newspaper
and in at least one newspaper circulating in the location where the company has its principal place of business, and taking any
other steps he considers appropriate, after which our assets would be distributed. Following the process of insolvent liquidation,
the liquidator will complete its final report and accounts and will then notify the Registrar. The liquidator may determine that
he requires additional time to evaluate creditors’ claims (particularly if there is uncertainty over the validity or extent
of the claims of any creditors). Also, a creditor or shareholder may file a petition with the British Virgin Islands Court which,
if successful, may result in our liquidation being subject to the supervision of that court. Such events might delay distribution
of some or all of our assets to our public shareholders. In such liquidation proceedings, the funds held in our trust account may
be included in our estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the
extent any such claims deplete the trust account we cannot assure you we will be able to return to our public shareholders the
amounts otherwise payable to them.
If we are deemed insolvent,
then there are also limited circumstances where prior payments made to shareholders or other parties may be deemed to be a “voidable
transaction” for the purposes of the Insolvency Act. A voidable transaction would be, for these purposes, payments made as
“unfair preferences” or “transactions at an undervalue.” Where a payment was a risk of being a voidable
transaction, a liquidator appointed over an insolvent company could apply to the British Virgin Islands Court for an order, inter
alia, for the transaction to be set aside as a voidable transaction in whole or in part.
Our initial shareholders
have waived their right to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the initial shares. We will pay the costs
of our liquidation and distribution of the trust account from our remaining assets outside of the trust account. In addition, ESOF
has agreed that it will be liable to us for all claims of creditors to the extent that we fail to obtain executed waivers from
such entities in order to protect the amounts held in trust, except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of
our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we cannot assure
you that the liquidator will not determine that he or she requires additional time to evaluate creditors’ claims (particularly
if there is uncertainty over the validity or extent of the claims of any creditors). We also cannot assure you that a creditor
or shareholder will not file a petition with the British Virgin Islands Court which, if successful, may result in our liquidation
being subject to the supervision of that court. Such events might delay distribution of some or all of our assets to our public
shareholders.
If we are deemed to be insolvent,
distributions made to public shareholders, or part of them, from our trust account may be subject to claw back in certain circumstances.
If we do not complete
our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, and instead distribute the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the trust account pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption, it will be necessary for
our directors to pass a board resolution approving the redemption of those ordinary shares and the payment of the proceeds to public
shareholders. Such board resolutions are required to confirm that we satisfy the solvency test prescribed by the Companies Act
(namely that our assets exceed our liabilities; and that we are able to pay our debts as they fall due). If, after the redemption
proceeds are paid to public shareholders, it transpires that our financial position at the time was such that it did not satisfy
the solvency test, the Companies Act provides a mechanism by which those proceeds could be recovered from public shareholders.
However, the Companies Act also provides for circumstances where such proceeds could not be subject to claw back, namely where
(a) the public shareholders received the proceeds in good faith and without knowledge of our failure to satisfy the solvency test;
(b) a public shareholder altered its position in reliance of the validity of the payment of the proceeds; or (c) it would be unfair
to require repayment of the proceeds in full or at all.
The requirement that we complete
our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering may give potential target businesses
leverage over us in negotiating our initial business combination.
We have 24 months from
the closing of our initial public offering to complete our initial business combination. Any potential target business with which
we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware of this requirement. Consequently, such target business
may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that if we do not complete a business combination with
that particular target business, we may be unable to complete a business combination with any other target business. This risk
will increase as we get closer to the time limit referenced above.
We may not obtain a fairness opinion
with respect to the target business that we seek to acquire and therefore you may be relying solely on the judgment of our board
of directors in approving a proposed business combination.
We will only be required
to obtain a fairness opinion with respect to the target business that we seek to acquire if it is an entity that is affiliated
with any of our officers, directors or sponsor. In all other instances, we will have no obligation to obtain an opinion. Accordingly,
investors will be relying solely on the judgment of our board of directors in approving a proposed business combination.
We may not be required to obtain
an opinion from an independent investment banking firm as to the fair market value of the target business we are seeking to acquire.
We will not be required
to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation
opinions on the type of target business we are seeking to acquire, as to the fair market value of such target business if our board
of directors independently determines that the target business complies with the 80% threshold. Accordingly, investors will be
relying solely on the judgment of our board of directors in valuing such target business or businesses, and our board of directors
may not properly value such target business or businesses.
Resources could be spent researching
acquisitions that are not consummated, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge
with another business.
It is anticipated that
the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure
documents, and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants,
attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to complete a specific business combination, the costs incurred up to that point
for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached relating to a specific
target business, we may fail to consummate the business combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control.
Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts
to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
We may qualify as a passive foreign
investment company, or PFIC, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.
If we are determined
to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of our ordinary
shares or rights, the U.S. Holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional
reporting requirements. Our actual PFIC status for our taxable year ended November 30, 2015 may depend on whether we qualify for
the PFIC start-up exception. We likely will be a PFIC for the taxable year ended November 30, 2015, unless we complete our initial
business combination before the end of our taxable year ending November 30, 2016 and are not treated as a PFIC for either of our
taxable years ending November 30, 2015 or November 30, 2016. Our actual PFIC status for any taxable year, however, will not be
determinable until after the end of such taxable year. In addition, we may not provide timely financial information that would
be required for U.S. investors to make a potentially favorable “qualified electing fund” election, and such election
would be unavailable with respect to our warrants in all cases. We urge U.S. investors to consult their own tax advisors regarding
the possible application of the PFIC rules.
An investor may be subject to adverse
U.S. federal income tax consequences in the event the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, were to disagree with the U.S. federal
income tax consequences described herein or in our registration statement.
We have not sought
a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein or in our registration statement. The IRS
may disagree with the descriptions of U.S. federal income tax consequences contained herein or in our registration statement, and
its determination may be upheld by a court. Any such determination could subject an investor or our company to adverse U.S. federal
income tax consequences that would be different than those described herein or in our registration statement. Accordingly, each
prospective investor is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership
and disposition of our ordinary shares and units, including the applicability and effect of state, local or non-U.S. tax laws,
as well as U.S. federal tax laws.
After our initial business combination,
it is likely that a majority of our directors and officers will live outside the United States and all of our assets will be located
outside the United States; therefore investors may not be able to enforce federal securities laws or their other legal rights.
It is likely that after
our initial business combination, a majority of our directors and officers will reside outside of the United States and all of
our assets will be located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors
in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon all of our directors or officers or to enforce
judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on our directors and officers under
United States laws.
Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 will require substantial financial and management resources and may increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.
Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls
and may require that we have such system of internal controls audited. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls,
we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties and/or shareholder litigation. Any inability to provide
reliable financial reports could harm our business. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires that our independent registered
public accounting firm report on management’s evaluation of our system of internal controls. A target company may not be
in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the
internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary
to complete any such acquisition. Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered
in the implementation of adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating results
or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence
in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
We are an “emerging growth
company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make
our securities less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years.
However, if our non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period or revenues exceeds $1 billion, or the market value of our
ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given
fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year. As an emerging growth company, we
are not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we have reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and we are exempt from the
requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved. Additionally, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting
standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.
As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We cannot
predict if investors will find our ordinary shares less attractive because we may rely on these provisions. If some investors find
our ordinary shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may
be more volatile.
Further, Section 102(b)(1)
of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards
until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not
have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out
of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates
for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, will not adopt the new or revised standard until the time private
companies are required to adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another
public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended
transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.
We may re-incorporate in another
jurisdiction in connection with our initial business combination, and the laws of such jurisdiction will likely govern all of our
material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.
In connection with
our initial business combination, we may relocate the home jurisdiction of our business from the British Virgin Islands to another
jurisdiction. If we determine to do this, the laws of such jurisdiction would likely govern all of our material agreements. The
system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation
as in the United States or the British Virgin Islands. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements
could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital. Any such reincorporation and the international
nature of our business will likely subject us to foreign regulation.
You may face difficulties in protecting
your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, because we are incorporated
under British Virgin Islands law.
We are a company incorporated
under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments obtained in the
United States courts against our directors or officers.
Our corporate affairs
are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands.
The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities
of our directors to us under British Virgin Islands law are governed by the Companies Act and the common law of the British Virgin
Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived from English common law, and whilst the decisions of the English
courts are of persuasive authority, they are not binding on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders
and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law may not be as clearly established as they
would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands
has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states, such as Delaware, have more fully
developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, while statutory provisions do exist in British Virgin
Islands law for derivative actions to be brought in certain circumstances, shareholders in BVI companies may not have standing
to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action
may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights of
shareholders of a BVI company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly,
shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred.
The British Virgin Islands Courts are also
unlikely:
| · | to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil
liability provisions of U.S. securities laws where that liability is in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or
revenue obligations of the company; and |
| · | to impose liabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based
on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature. |
There is no statutory
recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin
Islands will in certain circumstances recognize such a foreign judgment and treat it as a cause of action in itself which may be
sued upon as a debt at common law so that no retrial of the issues would be necessary provided that:
| · | the U.S. court issuing the judgment had jurisdiction in the matter and the company either submitted
to such jurisdiction or was resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and was duly served with process; |
| · | the judgment is final and for a liquidated sum; |
| · | the judgment given by the U.S. court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal
or revenue obligations of the company; |
| · | in obtaining judgment there was no fraud on the part of the person in whose favor judgment was
given or on the part of the court; |
| · | recognition or enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to public policy in the British
Virgin Islands; and |
| · | the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice. |
In appropriate circumstances, a British
Virgin Islands Court may give effect in the British Virgin Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory
orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.
As a result of all
of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management
or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company. For a discussion of certain differences between
the provisions of the Companies Act, remedies available to shareholders and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the
United States and their shareholders, see “British Virgin Islands Company Considerations.”
The provisions of our memorandum
and articles of association relating to the rights and obligations attaching to our ordinary shares may be amended prior to the
consummation of our initial business combination with the approval of the holders of 65% (or 50% if for the purposes of approving,
or in conjunction with, the consummation of our initial business combination) of our outstanding ordinary shares attending and
voting on such amendment at the relevant meeting, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of many blank check companies.
It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend our memorandum and articles of association to facilitate the consummation of our initial
business combination that a significant number of our shareholders may not support.
Many blank check companies
have a provision in their charter which prohibits the amendment of certain of its provisions, including those which relate to a
company’s pre-business combination activity, without approval by a certain percentage of the company’s shareholders.
Typically, amendment of these provisions requires approval by between 90% and 100% of the company’s public shareholders.
Our memorandum and articles of association provide that, prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, the provisions
related to pre-business combination activity and the rights and obligations attaching to the ordinary shares may be amended if
approved by holders of 65% (or 50% if approved in connection with our initial business combination) of our outstanding ordinary
shares attending and voting on such amendment. Prior to our initial business combination, if we seek to amend any provisions of
our memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, we will
provide dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares in connection with any such vote on any
proposed amendments to our memorandum and articles of association. Other provisions of our memorandum and articles of association
may be amended prior to the consummation of our initial business combination if approved by a majority of the votes of shareholders
attending and voting on such amendment or by resolution of the directors. Following the consummation of our initial business combination,
the rights and obligations attaching to our ordinary shares and other provisions of our memorandum and articles of association
may be amended if approved by a majority of the votes of shareholders attending and voting on such amendment or by resolution of
the directors. Our initial shareholders, which beneficially own 20% of our ordinary shares, will participate in any vote to amend
our memorandum and articles of association and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may
be able to amend the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association which govern our pre-business combination and the
rights and obligations attaching to the ordinary shares more easily that many blank check companies, and this may increase our
ability to consummate an initial business combination with which you do not agree. However, we and our directors and officers have
agreed not to propose any amendment to our memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance and timing of
our obligation to redeem the public shares of any public shareholder without the consent of that holder if we are unable to consummate
our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering.
Our memorandum and articles of association
permit the board of directors by resolution to amend our memorandum and articles of association, including to create additional
classes of securities, including shares with rights, preferences, designations and limitations as they determine which may have
an anti-takeover effect.
Our memorandum and
articles of association permits the board of directors by resolution to amend the memorandum and articles of association including
to designate rights, preferences, designations and limitations attaching to the preferred shares as they determine in their discretion,
without shareholder approval with respect the terms or the issuance. If issued, the rights, preferences, designations and limitations
of the preferred shares would be set by the board of directors and could operate to the disadvantage of the outstanding ordinary
shares the holders of which would not have any pre-emption rights in respect of such an issue of preferred shares. Such terms could
include, among others, preferences as to dividends and distributions on liquidation, or could be used to prevent possible corporate
takeovers. We may issue some or all of such preferred shares in connection with our initial business combination. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, we and our directors and officers have agreed not to propose any amendment to our memorandum and articles of association
that would affect the substance and timing of our obligation to redeem our public shares if we are unable to consummate our initial
business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering.
Because we must furnish our shareholders
with target business financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or international
financial reporting standards as issued by the IASB, we will not be able to complete our initial business combination with prospective
target businesses unless their financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
or international financial reporting standards.
The federal proxy rules
require that a proxy statement with respect to a vote on a business combination meeting certain financial significance tests include
historical and/or pro forma financial statement disclosure in periodic reports. These financial statements may be required to be
prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or
GAAP, or international financial reporting standards, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements
may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
or PCAOB. We will include the same financial statement disclosure in connection with any tender offer documents we use, whether
or not they are required under the tender offer rules. Additionally, to the extent we furnish our shareholders with financial statements
prepared in accordance with IFRS, such financial statements will need to be audited in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the time of
the consummation of the business combination. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses
we may acquire.
There is currently a limited market
for our securities and an active market for our securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price
of our securities.
Although our securities
are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is currently a limited market for our securities. The price of our securities may
vary significantly due to one or more potential business combinations and general market or economic conditions. Although listed
on the Nasdaq Capital Market, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained.
Additionally, if our securities become delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another
national exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.
Target businesses in the natural
resources sector are subject to special considerations and risks.
Business combinations
with companies with operations in the metals and mining industry entail special considerations and risks. If we are successful
in completing a business combination with a target business with operations in this industry, certain events may cause a decline
in the prices of certain natural resources, and a corresponding decline in the value of a target business’s assets, which
could adversely affect our ability to identify an initial business combination or the operation and profitability of our post-combination
business. Such events include:
| · | Distress Sales: The possibility of large-scale distress sales of certain natural
resources, such as gold and/or precious metals resources equities, in times of crisis could have a negative impact on the target
business. For example, the 2008 financial credit crisis resulted in significantly depressed prices of precious metals resources
as well as precious metals resources equities largely due to forced sales and deleveraging from institutional investors such as
hedge funds and pension funds. Although the price of gold rapidly recovered, there is no assurance that this would occur in the
future. Crises in the future may impair natural resources’ price performance which could, in turn, adversely affect an investment
in the target business. |
| · | Large sales by the official sector: A significant portion of the aggregate world holdings
of many precious metals is owned by governments, central banks and related institutions. Should these institutions decide to sell
in amounts large enough to cause a decline in the price of precious metals, the value of the target business’s assets could
be adversely affected. |
| · | A significant increase in hedging activity by producers: Should there be an increase
in the level of hedge activity of producing companies, it could cause a decline in world prices, adversely affecting the target
business. |
| · | A significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors towards certain natural resources: Should
the speculative community take a negative view towards one or more natural resources, it could cause a decline in world prices,
negatively impacting the performance of the target business. |
| · | Rising interest rates and low cost of borrowing precious metals: A combination of rising
interest rates and a continuation of the current low cost of borrowing precious metals could improve the economics of selling precious
metals forward. This could result in an increase in hedging by precious metals mining companies and short selling by speculative
interests, which could negatively affect the price of precious metals. Under such circumstances, the value of the target business’s
assets could be similarly affected. |
We may seek a target business involved
in natural resources exploration and development, which involves a high degree of risk and could negatively impact the operations
and profitability of our post-combination business.
We will seek investments
in companies that may engage in natural resources exploration and development, with a focus on precious and base metals, many of
which have no net revenues and little or no gross income. Resource exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and
requires significant capital investment over a number of years. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into
producing mines. There is no assurance that any exploration activities will result in discoveries of resources. There is also no
assurance that if discovered, the resources would be economical for commercial purposes. Discovery of natural resources, although
significantly influenced by the technical skill of the personnel involved, is dependent upon a number of factors. As a result,
it is possible that we may lose some or all of the value of assets that we invest in such target business. Companies that engage
in resource exploration and development also are likely to require additional funding to complete their exploration and development
activities. Each time a company goes to the markets for funding, it will dilute the target business’s investment in that
company.
Regulatory and legal risks specific
to natural resources investing
Natural resources investments
may become subject to regulation by governments and agencies of the localities in which they operate. New and existing regulations,
changing governmental and regulatory schemes and the burdens of regulatory compliance all may have a material negative impact on
our ability to identify a business combination target. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that government action, new legislation
or regulation, including changes to existing laws and regulations, will not have a material negative impact our investment in a
target business if such changes occur after we consummate our initial business combination.
Risks Associated with Acquiring and
Operating a Business outside of the United States
If we effect our initial business
combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may
negatively impact our operations.
If we effect our initial
business combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to any special considerations or
risks associated with companies operating in the target business’s home jurisdiction, including any of the following:
| · | laws governing the manner in which future business combinations may be effected; |
| · | exchange listing and/or delisting requirements; |
| · | tariffs and trade barriers; |
| · | regulations related to customs and import/export matters; |
| · | tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States; |
| · | currency fluctuations and exchange controls; |
| · | challenges in collecting accounts receivable; |
| · | cultural and language differences; |
| · | crime, strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks and wars; and |
| · | deterioration of political relations with the United States. |
We may not be able to adequately address
these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, our operations might suffer.
Because of the costs and difficulties
inherent in managing cross-border business operations, our results of operations may be negatively impacted.
Managing a business,
operations, personnel or assets in another country is challenging and costly. Any management that we may have (whether based abroad
or in the U.S.) may be inexperienced in cross-border business practices and unaware of significant differences in accounting rules,
legal regimes and labor practices. Even with a seasoned and experienced management team, the costs and difficulties inherent in
managing cross-border business operations, personnel and assets can be significant (and much higher than in a purely domestic business)
and may negatively impact our financial and operational performance.
If social unrest, acts of terrorism,
regime changes, changes in laws and regulations, political upheaval, or policy changes or enactments occur in a country in which
we may operate after we effect our initial business combination, it may result in a negative impact on our business.
Political events in
another country may significantly affect our business, assets or operations. Social unrest, acts of terrorism, regime changes,
changes in laws and regulations, political upheaval, and policy changes or enactments could negatively impact our business in a
particular country.
Many countries have difficult and
unpredictable legal systems and underdeveloped laws and regulations that are unclear and subject to corruption and inexperience,
which may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to seek
and enforce legal protections, including with respect to intellectual property and other property rights, or to defend ourselves
with regard to legal actions taken against us in a given country, may be difficult or impossible, which could adversely impact
our operations, assets or financial condition.
Rules and regulations
in many countries are often ambiguous or open to differing interpretation by responsible individuals and agencies at the municipal,
state, regional and federal levels. The attitudes and actions of such individuals and agencies are often difficult to predict and
inconsistent.
Delay with respect
to the enforcement of particular rules and regulations, including those relating to customs, tax, environmental and labor, could
cause serious disruption to operations abroad and negatively impact our results.
If relations between the United States
and foreign governments deteriorate, it could cause potential target businesses or their goods and services to become less attractive.
The relationship between
the United States and foreign governments could be subject to sudden fluctuation and periodic tension. For instance, the United
States may announce its intention to impose quotas on certain imports. Such import quotas may adversely affect political relations
between the two countries and result in retaliatory countermeasures by the foreign government in industries that may affect our
ultimate target business. Changes in political conditions in foreign countries and changes in the state of U.S. relations with
such countries are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our operations or cause potential target businesses or their
goods and services to become less attractive. Because we are not limited to any specific industry, there is no basis for investors
to evaluate the possible extent of any impact on our ultimate operations if relations are strained between the United States and
a foreign country in which we acquire a target business or move our principal manufacturing or service operations.
If any dividend is declared in the
future and paid in a foreign currency, you may be taxed on a larger amount in U.S. dollars than the U.S. dollar amount that you
will actually ultimately receive.
If you are a U.S. holder
of our ordinary shares, you will be taxed on the U.S. dollar value of your dividends, if any, at the time you receive them, even
if you actually receive a smaller amount of U.S. dollars when the payment is in fact redeemed into U.S. dollars. Specifically,
if a dividend is declared and paid in a foreign currency, the amount of the dividend distribution that you must include in your
income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the payments made in the foreign currency, determined at the spot rate
of the foreign currency to the U.S. dollar on the date the dividend distribution is includible in your income, regardless of whether
the payment is in fact redeemed into U.S. dollars. Thus, if the value of the foreign currency decreases before you actually redeem
the currency into U.S. dollars, you will be taxed on a larger amount in U.S. dollars than the U.S. dollar amount that you will
actually ultimately receive.
If our management following our initial
business combination is unfamiliar with United States securities laws, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar
with such laws, which could lead to various regulatory issues.
Following our initial
business combination, our management will likely resign from their positions as officers or directors of the company and the management
of the target business at the time of the business combination will remain in place. Management of the target business may not
be familiar with United States securities laws. If new management is unfamiliar with our laws, they may have to expend time and
resources becoming familiar with such laws. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues,
which may adversely affect our operations.
Currency policies may cause a target
business’s ability to succeed in the international markets to be diminished.
In the event we acquire
a non-U.S. target, all revenues and income would likely be received in a foreign currency, the dollar equivalent of our net assets
and distributions, if any, could be adversely affected by reductions in the value of the local currency. The value of the currencies
in our target regions fluctuate and are affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Any change
in the relative value of such currency against our reporting currency may affect the attractiveness of any target business or,
following consummation of our initial business combination, our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if
a currency appreciates in value against the dollar prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, the cost of a
target business as measured in dollars will increase, which may make it less likely that we are able to consummate such transaction.
Because foreign law could govern
almost all of our material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within such jurisdiction or elsewhere, which could
result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
Foreign law could govern
almost all of our material agreements. The target business may not be able to enforce any of its material agreements or enforce
remedies for breaches of those agreements outside of such foreign jurisdiction’s legal system. The system of laws and the
enforcement of existing laws and contracts in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in
the United States. The judiciaries in Asia are relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a
higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. As a result, the inability to enforce or obtain a
remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business and business opportunities.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable.
Item 2. Properties
We currently maintain
our principal executive offices at c/o TEG, 700 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10065. The cost for
this space is included in the $10,000 per-month fee TEG, an affiliate of our sponsor, charges us for general and administrative
services pursuant to a letter agreement between us and TEG. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in New York,
New York, that the fee charged by TEG is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. We consider
our current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to our executive officers, adequate for our
current operations.
Item 3. Legal
Proceedings
There is no material
litigation, arbitration, governmental proceeding or any other legal proceeding currently pending or known to be contemplated against
us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such, and we and the members of our management team have not been
subject to any such proceeding in the ten years preceding the date of this report.

Item 5.
Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity
Securities
Our equity securities
trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Each of our units consists of ordinary share and one warrant and trades on the Nasdaq Capital
Market under the symbol “ELECU”. The ordinary shares and warrants underlying our units began trading separately on
the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “ELEC” and “ELECW,” respectively, on August 12, 2015. Each
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject to adjustment
as described in our registration statement. Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of ordinary shares. The warrants
will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination unless redeemed earlier.
The following table
shows, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices per share of our units, ordinary shares and warrants as reported
by Nasdaq. Prior to June 11, 2015, there was no established public trading market for our securities.

Holders of Record
On February 24,
2016, there was one holder of record of our units, three holders of record of our warrants and seven holders
of record of our ordinary shares. Such numbers do not include beneficial owners holding units through nominee names.
Dividends
We have not paid any
cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of an initial business
combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements
and general financial condition subsequent to completion of an initial business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent
to an initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. It is the present intention
of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board of directors
does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating
and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection
with a business combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection
therewith.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Other than as previously reported on a current
report on Form 8-K, none.
Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public
Offering
On June 16, 2015, we
closed our initial public offering of 20,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant to purchase
one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject to adjustment as described in our registration statement.
All of the units registered were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit and generated gross proceeds of $200,000,000. The
securities sold in our initial public offering were registered under our registration statement. The SEC declared our registration
statement effective on June 10, 2015.
We received net proceeds
of approximately $201,175,000 from our initial public offering (including proceeds from the partial exercise by the underwriters
of their over-allotment option) and the simultaneous sale of 14,050,000 private placement warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant,
net of the non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions and underwriter advisory fees of $5,250,000 and offering costs
and other expenses of approximately $600,000. Of those net proceeds, a total of $6,750,000 is attributable to the deferred underwriting
discounts and underwriter advisory fees, which have been deferred until the consummation of our initial business combination. $200,000,000
of the net proceeds were deposited in a trust account. Except for a portion of the interest earned on the funds held in the trust
account that may be released to us to pay any income or other tax obligations, none of the funds held in the trust account will
be released until the earlier of the completion of our initial business combination and the redemption of 100% of our public shares
if we are unable to consummate a business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering. If we do
not complete a business combination by that date, we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account
pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our
affairs. The remaining net proceeds (approximately $1.1 million) not held in the trust
account became available to use to cover operating expenses.

Item 7. Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We are a blank check
company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability (meaning our public shareholders have no liability, as
members of the Company, for the liabilities of the Company over and above the amount paid for their shares) formed on December
12, 2014 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization
or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Our efforts to identify a target business will not be
limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although we intend to focus our search for target businesses that operate
in the metals and mining industry and, in particular, with an emphasis on gold and other precious metals.
We intend to utilize
cash derived from the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of the private warrants, our securities,
debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting our initial business combination. The issuance of additional ordinary
shares or preferred stock in our initial business combination:
| • | may significantly dilute the equity interest of our investors who would not have pre-emption rights
in respect of any such issuance; |
| • | may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if we issue preferred shares with rights
senior to those afforded to our ordinary shares; |
| • | could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares are issued, which
may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result
in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and |
| • | may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities. |
Similarly, if we issue
debt securities, it could result in:
| • | default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after our initial business combination
are insufficient to pay our debt obligations; |
| • | acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and
interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or
reserves and we breach any such covenant without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; |
| • | our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable
on demand; and |
| • | our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants
restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding. |
We expect to continue
to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to
complete our initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
For the period from
December 12, 2014 (inception) through November 30, 2015, we had a net loss of $265,037 and incurred costs of $12,596,191 related
to our initial public offering which have been charged to shareholders’ equity.
Our entire activity
from December 12, 2014 (inception) through June 16, 2015, was in preparation for the initial public offering, which was consummated
on that date. Since that date, we have engaged in a search for a target for the Business Combination. We believe that we have sufficient
funds available to complete our efforts to effect a Business Combination with an operating business within the required 24 months
from our initial public offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 16, 2015, we
consummated our initial public offering of 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Simultaneously with the consummation
of the initial public offering, we consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 14,050,000 warrants, each exercisable to purchase
one-half of one ordinary share at $5.75 per half share, to the Sponsor and an entity controlled by one of our directors at a price
of $0.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $7,025,000. We received net proceeds from the initial public offering and the
sale of the Private Placement Warrants of approximately $201,175,000, net of the non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions
and fees of $5,250,000 and offering costs and other expenses of approximately $600,000. For a description of the proceeds generated
in the initial public offering and a discussion of the use of such proceeds, refer to Note 3 and Note 5 of the audited financial
statements included elsewhere in this report. Until the consummation of our initial public offering, our only source of liquidity
was an initial purchase of our ordinary shares and a series of advances made by an affiliate of the Company. These advances are
non-interest bearing and unsecured.
As of November 30,
2015, $200,061,928 was held in the Trust Account and we had cash outside of trust of $864,561 and $108,092 in accounts payable,
accrued expenses and due to affiliates. Through November 30, 2015, we had not withdrawn any funds from interest earned on the trust
proceeds. Other than the deferred underwriting compensation, no amounts are payable to the underwriters of our initial public offering
in the event of a Business Combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Contractual
Obligations
As of November 30,
2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and
did not have any long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or purchase obligations other than a monthly
fee of $10,000 payable to The Electrum Group LLC, an affiliate of our sponsor, for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative
services, effective as of June 10, 2015, the effective date of the registration statement for our initial public offering. We have
not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s
discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial information.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements
included in this report. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial
position, the results of its operations and its cash flows. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant
judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the
accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available
from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and,
therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.
Item 7A. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is a broad
term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the
result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. $200,000,000
of the net offering proceeds from our initial public offering (which includes $5,062,500 of the proceeds attributable to the deferred
underwriters’ discount and $1,687,500 of the proceeds attributable to a deferred advisory fee payable to one of the underwriters
of our initial business combination, in each case upon our consummation of an initial business combination) has been placed into
a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. As of November 30, 2015, the balance
of the trust account was $200,061,928. We may only invest in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less
or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct
U.S. government treasury obligations. Thus, we are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates
on government securities. However, due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material
exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 9. Changes in
and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and
Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who also serves as our principal financial officer), to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required
by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2015. Based upon his evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) were effective.
During the most recently
completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, out internal control over financial reporting.
This report does not
include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report
of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for newly public companies.

We believe that Mr.
Kaplan is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his extensive private investment experience, and his experience
in the areas of finance and the mining industry.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our board of directors
is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors
appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of
directors, consisting of Messrs. Peat and Ronzetti, will expire at our first annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office
of the second class of directors, consisting of Ms. Walters and Mr. Goodman, will expire at the second annual meeting of shareholders.
The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Kaplan and Anderson, will expire at the third annual
meeting of shareholders. We may not hold an annual meeting of shareholders until after we consummate our initial business combination.
Our officers are elected
by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our
board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our memorandum and articles of association as it
deems appropriate. Our memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers may consist of a Chief Executive Officer,
President, Chief Financial Officer, one or more vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers and such other offices as may be determined
by the board of directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors
has three standing committees: an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee.
Audit Committee
Subject to phase-in
rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of
a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Our audit committee consists of Ms. Walters and Messrs. Peat and
Goodman, each of whom is an independent director under the applicable standards. The audit committee’s duties, which are
specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
| • | reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial
statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K; |
| • | reviewing and discussing with management and our independent auditor our quarterly financial statements
prior to the filing of our Form 10-Qs, including the results of the independent auditor’s review of the quarterly financial
statements; |
| • | discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and
judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements; |
| • | discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies; |
| • | monitoring the independence of the independent auditor; |
| • | verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility
for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law; |
| • | reviewing and approving all related-party transactions; |
| • | inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| • | pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent
auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed; |
| • | appointing or replacing the independent auditor; |
| • | determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution
of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or
issuing an audit report or related work; |
| • | establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding
accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting
policies; and |
| • | approving reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target
businesses. |
We have determined
that each of the members of our audit committee are “financially literate” as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards.
The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial
statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
In addition, we must
certify to Nasdaq that the audit committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience
in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that
results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Peat qualifies as an
“audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.
Nominating Committee
Our nominating committee
consists of Ms. Walters and Messrs. Goodman and Ronzetti, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing
standards. The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board
of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers
and others.
The guidelines for
selecting nominees, which are specified in our Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:
| • | should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service; |
| • | should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution
to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and |
| • | should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication
to serving the interests of our shareholders. |
The nominating committee
will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background, integrity and professionalism
in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain
skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and
will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating
committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.
Compensation
Committee
Our compensation committee
consists of Ms. Walters and Messrs. Goodman and Ronzetti, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing
standards. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are
not limited to:
| • | reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief
Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives
and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation; |
| • | reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers; |
| • | reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans; |
| • | implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans; |
| • | assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements; |
| • | approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit
arrangements for our executive officers and employees; |
| • | if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement;
and |
| • | reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors. |
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as indicated below, no compensation of any kind will be paid to our sponsor or officers or directors, or any of their
respective affiliates, prior to or in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination. Accordingly, it is likely
that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the
review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.
Code of Ethics and Committee Charters
We have adopted a Code
of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our Code of Ethics, our audit committee
charter, our nominating committee charter and our compensation committee charter as exhibits to our registration statement. You
will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition,
a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers
of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a current report on Form 8-K.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officer, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and ten percent
stockholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on copies
of such forms received, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, all filing requirements applicable to
our officer, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
None of our executive
officers or directors has received any cash (or non-cash) compensation for services rendered to us. Pursuant to an administrative
services agreement dated June 10, 2015, we pay TEG, an affiliate of our sponsor, a fee of $10,000 per month for providing us with
office space and certain office and secretarial services. This agreement will terminate upon completion of our initial business
combination or our liquidation, at which time we will cease paying these monthly fees. However, this arrangement is solely for
our benefit and is not intended to provide our officers or directors with compensation in lieu of a salary. Such individuals will
also receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as
identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations
as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations.
After our initial business
combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined
company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials
furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of a shareholder meeting
held to consider our initial business combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine
executive and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination
in a current report on Form 8-K, as required by the SEC.
We do not intend to
take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial
business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment
or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment
or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or
selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of
our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination.
We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and
Insider Participation
None.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The
following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of February 24, 2016,
by:
| · | each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary
shares; |
| · | each of our officers and directors; and |
| · | all our officers and directors as a group. |
Unless
otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary
shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the sponsor warrants
as these warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Form 10-K.
We
have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 25,000,000 ordinary shares outstanding on February 24,
2016. Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each of the persons and entities in the following table is 700 Madison
Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10065.

Fund GP L.P., or ESOF GP, and the general partner of ESOF GP is ESOF GP Ltd. The directors of ESOF GP Ltd. are Thomas S. Kaplan,
Eric N. Vincent, Michael H. Williams and Andrew M. Shapiro. Consequently, Messrs. Kaplan, Vincent, Williams and Shapiro may be
deemed to share voting and dispositive control over the securities held by our sponsor, and thus to share beneficial ownership
of such securities. Each of Messrs. Kaplan, Vincent, Williams and Shapiro disclaims beneficial ownership over any securities owned
by our sponsor in which he does not have any pecuniary interest. |

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,
and Director Independence
On December 12, 2014,
our sponsor subscribed for an aggregate of 3,737,500 of our ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately
$0.007 per share. Such shares became fully paid on April 8, 2015, following the payment of the purchase price therefor. On April
22, 2015, we effected a bonus share issue of 0.03655250836 ordinary shares for each outstanding ordinary share, resulting in our
sponsor owning an aggregate of 3,874,115 insider shares. Also on April 22, 2015, our four independent directors purchased an aggregate
of 92,000 of our ordinary shares, and an entity controlled by Dwight W. Anderson (another of our directors) purchased an aggregate
of 346,385 of our ordinary shares, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,932, or approximately $.007 per share. On
June 10, 2015, the entity controlled by Mr. Anderson sold 45,994 of its ordinary shares to our sponsor, at the original purchase
price, and on the same date we effected a bonus share issue of 0.16666666666667 ordinary shares for each outstanding ordinary share.
As a result, our sponsor owned 4,573,461 ordinary shares, the entity controlled by Mr. Anderson owned 350,457 ordinary shares,
and each of our four independent directors owned 26,833 ordinary shares.
Upon the closing of
our initial public offering, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in part and notified us that they would not
be exercising the remainder of their over-allotment option. As a result, the initial shareholders forfeited an aggregate of 31,250
ordinary shares.
Simultaneously with
the closing of our initial public offering, our sponsor and its designees and an entity controlled by one of our director nominees
purchased from us an aggregate of 14,050,000 private placement warrants for a total purchase price of $7,025,000, in a private
placement. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder to purchase of one-half of one ordinary share at $5.75 per half share.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company deposited the purchase price into our trust account simultaneously with the consummation
of the initial public offering. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in our
initial public offering except the private placement warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each
case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. Additionally, the holders have
agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private warrants or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees
as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the
insider shares must agree to, each as described above) until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.
In order to meet our
working capital needs following the consummation of our initial public offering, our sponsor, officers and directors and their
respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem
reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a non-interest bearing promissory note. The notes would either
be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000
of the notes may be converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional private warrants at a price of $0.50
per warrant. Our shareholders have approved the issuance of the warrants and underlying securities upon conversion of such notes,
to the extent the holder wishes to so convert them at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination. If we do
not complete a business combination, the loans will not be repaid.
The holders of our
insider shares, as well as the holders of the private placement warrants (and underlying securities) and any securities our sponsor,
officers, directors, special advisors or their respective affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to
us, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 10, 2015. The holders
of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that we register such securities. In addition, the holders
have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation
of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.
As of November 30,
2015, an affiliate of our sponsor is owed $60,095 for general and administrative costs, due diligence costs and professional fees
paid on our behalf. These advances are non-interest bearing and unsecured.
TEG has agreed that,
commencing on June 10, 2015 through the earlier of our consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation, it
will make available to us certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative support,
as we may require from time to time. We pay TEG $10,000 per month for these services. Our Chairman of the Board, Thomas S. Kaplan,
is the Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of TEG, and our Chief Executive Officer, Eric N. Vincent, is the Chief Executive Officer
of TEG. Accordingly, our officers and directors will benefit from the transaction to the extent of their interest in TEG. However,
this arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide our officers or directors with compensation in lieu of
a salary. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in New York, New York, that the fee charged by TEG is at least
as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person.
Other than the fees
described above, no compensation or fees of any kind will be paid to any of our sponsor, officers, directors, special advisors
or their respective affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of our initial business
combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, such individuals will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing
business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants
or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket
expenses reimbursable by us; provided, however, that to the extent such expenses exceed the available proceeds not deposited in
the trust account and the interest income earned on the amounts held in the trust account, such expenses would not be reimbursed
by us unless we consummate an initial business combination.
After our initial business
combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, board, management or other fees from the
combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation
materials furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of a shareholder
meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to
determine executive and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination
in a current report on Form 8-K, as required by the SEC.
All ongoing and future
transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to
be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will require prior approval by
our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested independent directors, in either case who had access, at our expense, to
our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority
of our disinterested independent directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those
that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.
Related Party Policy
Our Code of Ethics
requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests,
except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as
transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we
or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director,
(b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our ordinary shares, or (c) immediate family member of the persons referred to in clauses
(a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less
than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests
that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person,
or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.
To further minimize
conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate our initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with
any of our sponsor, officers or directors unless we have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm and the
approval of a majority of our disinterested and independent directors (if we have any at that time) that the business combination
is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view.
Director Independence
Nasdaq listing standards
require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as
a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which,
in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment
in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Walters and Messrs. Peat, Ronzetti
and Goodman are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing.

for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject

accounting firm for permitted non-audit services to one or more members of the committee, provided that such persons are required
to present the pre-approval of any permitted non-audit service to the committee at the next meeting following any such pre-approval.

and All Other Fees described above were pre-approved by the committee pursuant to the de minimis exception established by the SEC.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Electrum Special Acquisition Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance
sheet of Electrum Special Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), as of November 30, 2015, and the related statements
of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from December 12, 2014 (inception) to November
30, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Electrum Special Acquisition Corporation
as of November 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from December 12, 2014 (inception)
to November 30, 2015, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of Operations
Electrum Special Acquisition Corporation
(the ‘‘Company,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our’’ or ‘‘us’’)
is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on December 12, 2014. The Company was formed
for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially
all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business transaction, with one or
more businesses or entities (‘‘Business Combination’’). The Company has neither engaged in any operations
nor generated any operating revenue to date. The Company’s sponsor is ESAC Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the ‘‘Sponsor’’).
The registration statement for the Company’s
initial public offering (the “Offering”) (as described in Note 3) was declared effective by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 10, 2015. The Sponsor and an entity controlled by one of the Company’s
directors purchased, simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, an aggregate of $7,025,000 of warrants in a private placement
(Note 4).
Upon closing of the Offering and private
placement, $200,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account and may be invested in United States government treasury bills, notes or
bonds having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries, as determined by the Company, until the earlier
of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Company’s management has broad
discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net
proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is
no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company intends to finance a Business
Combination in part with the Offering and the $7,025,000 private placement (see Note 3).
The Company will either (1) seek shareholder
approval of our initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their
public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination, into their pro rata share of the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide our shareholders with the opportunity
to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount
equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case
based on the number of public shares outstanding and subject to the limitations described herein. The decision as to whether we
will seek shareholder approval of our proposed Business Combination or allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender
offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction
and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. Unlike other blank check companies
which require shareholder votes and conduct proxy solicitations in conjunction with their initial Business Combinations and related
redemptions of public shares for cash upon consummation of such initial Business Combinations even when a vote is not required
by law, we will have the flexibility to avoid such shareholder vote and allow our shareholders to sell their shares pursuant to
the tender offer rules of the SEC. In that case, we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially
the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.
We will consummate our initial Business Combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation
and, solely if we seek shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the Business
Combination.

Nature of Operations – (continued)
We have until June 16, 2017 to consummate
our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial Business Combination within such time period, we will
distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account pro rata to our public shareholders by way of the redemption
of their shares and will cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described herein.
In such event, our warrants will expire worthless. We expect the per share redemption price to be $10.00 per ordinary share, without
taking into account any interest earned on such funds. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims
of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public shareholders. In that case, it may be possible that the per-share
value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit
in the Offering.
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012 (the ‘‘JOBS Act’’) permits emerging growth companies to delay complying with
new or revised financial accounting standards that do not yet apply to private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities
Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act). The JOBS
Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply
to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended
transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private
companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new
or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging
growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible
because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for
development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by
eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income,
cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or
interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available
for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915.
For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and
interim periods therein.

Policies – (continued)
Net loss per ordinary share
The Company complies with the accounting
and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, ‘‘Earnings Per Share’’. Net loss per ordinary share
is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
for the period. At November 30, 2015, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially,
be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. The Company has not considered the
effect of warrants to purchase ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants
is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per
ordinary share for the periods presented.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which at times may exceed
the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management
believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets
and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,’’
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offering costs
Offering costs consisted principally of
legal, accounting and underwriting costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Offering. Offering
costs amounting to $12,596,191 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon completion of the Offering.
Cash and securities held in Trust Account
At November 30, 2015, the assets held in
the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies – (continued)
Ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480
“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as
a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that
features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain
events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are
classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered
to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at November 30,
2015, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of $189,191,703 (or 18,919,170 shares) are presented as
temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Income taxes
The Company complies with the accounting
and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, ‘‘Income Taxes,’’ which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts,
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition
threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon
examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as
income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2015. No amounts were accrued for the payment of
interest and penalties at November 30, 2015. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in
significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major
taxing authorities since inception.
The Company may be subject to potential
examination by U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations
may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance
with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized
tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and
due to affiliate
Accounts payable and accrued expenses represent
amounts the Company owes to its vendors as of the balance sheet date. Due to affiliate represents general and administrative costs,
professional fees and due diligence costs paid by an affiliate on behalf of the Company. These advances are non-interest bearing,
unsecured and payable on demand.

Going concern
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,
‘‘Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern’’ (‘‘ASU
2014-15’’). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial
doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting
period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in ASU
2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by ASU 2014-15, and does not anticipate that
the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Recently issued accounting standards
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s
financial statements.
3. Public Offering
On June 16, 2015, the Company sold 20,000,000
units at a price of $10.00 per unit (“Public Units”) in the Offering, including the sale of units upon partial exercise
of the underwriters’ overallotment option. Each Public Unit consists of one of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par
value, and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $5.75
per half share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of
this offering or 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination. Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number
of ordinary shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants will expire five years after
the completion of an initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption, as described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no public
warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within
a specified period following the consummation of our initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there
is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement,
exercise warrants on a cashless basis in the same manner as if we called the warrants for redemption and required all holders to
exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering
the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary
shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market
value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average
reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise.
There will be no net cash settlement of the warrants under any circumstances.
In connection with the Offering, the Sponsor
and its designees, and an entity controlled by one of our directors, purchased from us an aggregate of 14,050,000 warrants (‘‘Private
Warrants’’) at $0.50 per warrant (for a total purchase price of $7,025,000). These purchases took place on a private
placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. Each Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one-half
of one ordinary share at $5.75 per half share. All of the proceeds received from this private placement were placed in the Trust
Account.

3. Public Offering (continued)
The Private Warrants are identical to the
warrants included in the units sold in the Offering except the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless
basis, at the holder’s option, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted
transferees. The purchasers have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities
(except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions
as the permitted transferees of the Private Warrants must agree to, each as described below) until 30 days after the completion
of our initial Business Combination.
4. Related Party Transactions
On April 8, 2015, our Sponsor subscribed
for an aggregate of 3,737,500 of our ordinary shares (‘‘Insider Shares’’) for an aggregate purchase price
of $25,000, or approximately $0.00669 per share.
On April 22, 2015, the Company effected
a bonus share issue of 0.03655250836 ordinary shares for each outstanding ordinary share, resulting in the Sponsor owning an aggregate
of 3,874,115 Insider Shares. Also on April 22, 2015, our four independent directors purchased an aggregate of 92,000 of our Insider
Shares, and an entity controlled by another director purchased an aggregate of 346,385 of our Insider Shares, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $2,932, or approximately $0.00669 per share. The Company accounted for the bonus share issue as
a share dividend in form because the total issuance of additional shares was less than 20% of the number of previously outstanding
shares.
On June 10, 2015, the entity controlled
by a director transferred 45,994 of its 346,385 shares to the Sponsor for a price equal to the original subscription cost of approximately
$0.00669 per share, resulting in the Sponsor owning 3,920,109 Insider Shares. Also on June 10, 2015, the Company effected a bonus
share issue of 0.16666666666667 ordinary shares for each outstanding ordinary share, resulting in the Sponsor owning an aggregate
of 4,573,461 Insider Shares, each of the four independent directors owning 26,833 Insider Shares, and an entity controlled by another
director owning 350,457 Insider Shares. The Company accounted for this bonus share issue as a share dividend in form because the
total issuance of additional shares was less than 20% of the number of previously outstanding shares.
On June 16, 2015, the Company’s initial
shareholders forfeited an aggregate of 31,250 Insider Shares, so that the initial shareholders own 20.0% of the Company’s
issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Public Offering.
The Insider Shares are identical to the
ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering. However, the holders have agreed (A) to vote the Insider Shares
in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to our memorandum and articles
of association with respect to our pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination
unless we provide dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares in connection with any such
vote, (C) not to redeem any shares (including the Insider Shares) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection
with a shareholder vote to approve our proposed initial Business Combination (or sell any shares they hold to us in a tender offer
in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination) or a vote to amend the provisions of our memorandum and articles of
association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (D) that the Insider Shares shall not
participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. Additionally, the holders
have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Insider Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until the earlier
of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or (ii) if after 150 days after our initial
Business Combination, the closing price of our ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, these transfer restrictions will be removed earlier if, after our initial Business Combination, we consummate a
subsequent (i) liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having
the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property or (ii) consolidation, merger or other change
in the majority of our management team.

4. Related Party Transactions (continued)
In addition, our Sponsor and an entity
controlled by one of our directors purchased an aggregate of 14,050,000 Private Warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant ($7,025,000
in the aggregate) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Offering. The proceeds from the private
placement of the Private Warrants from the Offering were placed in the Trust Account.
The Private Warrants are identical to the
warrants included in the units sold in the Offering except the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless
basis, at the holder’s option, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted
transferees. The purchasers have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities
(except to the same permitted transferees as the Insider Shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions
as the permitted transferees of the Private Warrants must agree to, each as described above) until 30 days after the completion
of our initial Business Combination.
If the Company does not complete the Business
Combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public shareholders
and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
As of November 30, 2015, an affiliate of
our sponsor is owed $60,095 for general and administrative costs, due diligence costs and professional fees paid on our behalf.
These advances are non-interest bearing and unsecured.
Commencing on June 10, 2015, the date that
our securities were first listed on Nasdaq, we have agreed to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for
general and administrative services including office space, utilities and secretarial support. Total fees paid under this agreement
were $56,666 for the period from December 12, 2014 (date of inception) through November 30, 2015.
5. Deferred Underwriting Compensation
The Company is committed to pay deferred
underwriting compensation (“Deferred Discount”) totaling $6,750,000 (approximately 3.375%) of the gross offering proceeds
of the Public Offering, to the underwriters upon the Company’s consummation of the Business Combination. The underwriters
are not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriters if there
is no Business Combination.
6. Trust Account
A total of $200,000,000, which includes
$192,975,000 of the net proceeds from the Public Offering and $7,025,000 from the sale of the Private Warrants, has been placed
in the Trust Account. As of November 30, 2015, the balance in the Trust Account was $200,061,928.
As of November 30, 2015, the Company’s
Trust Account consisted of $199,999,197 in U.S. Treasury Bills, $61,764 in accrued interest and $967 in cash. The Company classifies
its U. S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 “Investments – Debt
and Equity Securities”. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to
hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying November 30, 2015
balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

7. Fair Value Measurements
The Company complies with ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurement”, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting
period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The following table presents information
about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2015,
and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general,
fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield
curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations
where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

shares have not been determined and, accordingly, these features will be attached to each class as they are issued, through amendments
to the Articles of Association.

- DefinitionAmount to be paid per share that is classified as temporary equity by entity upon redemption. Temporary equity is a security with redemption features that are outside the control of the issuer, is not classified as an asset or liability in conformity with GAAP, and is not mandatorily redeemable. Includes any type of security that is redeemable at a fixed or determinable price or on a fixed or determinable date or dates, is redeemable at the option of the holder, or has conditions for redemption which are not solely within the control of the issuer. If convertible, the issuer does not control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the conversion option if the holder exercises the option to convert the stock to another class of equity. If the security is a warrant or a rights issue, the warrant or rights issue is considered to be temporary equity if the issuer cannot demonstrate that it would be able to deliver upon the exercise of the option by the holder in all cases. Includes stock with put option held by ESOP and stock redeemable by holder only in the event of a change in control of the issuer.

Nature of Operations Electrum Special Acquisition Corporation (the ‘‘Company,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our’’ or ‘‘us’’) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on December 12, 2014. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business transaction, with one or more businesses or entities (‘‘Business Combination’’). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenue to date. The Company’s sponsor is ESAC Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the ‘‘Sponsor’’). The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Offering”) (as described in Note 3) was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 10, 2015. The Sponsor and an entity controlled by one of the Company’s directors purchased, simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, an aggregate of $7,025,000 of warrants in a private placement (Note 4). Upon closing of the Offering and private placement, $200,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account and may be invested in United States government treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company intends to finance a Business Combination in part with the Offering and the $7,025,000 private placement (see Note 3). The Company will either (1) seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide our shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case based on the number of public shares outstanding and subject to the limitations described herein. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of our proposed Business Combination or allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. Unlike other blank check companies which require shareholder votes and conduct proxy solicitations in conjunction with their initial Business Combinations and related redemptions of public shares for cash upon consummation of such initial Business Combinations even when a vote is not required by law, we will have the flexibility to avoid such shareholder vote and allow our shareholders to sell their shares pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC. In that case, we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. We will consummate our initial Business Combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and, solely if we seek shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. We have until June 16, 2017 to consummate our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial Business Combination within such time period, we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account pro rata to our public shareholders by way of the redemption of their shares and will cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described herein. In such event, our warrants will expire worthless. We expect the per share redemption price to be $10.00 per ordinary share, without taking into account any interest earned on such funds. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public shareholders. In that case, it may be possible that the per-share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Offering. Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the ‘‘JOBS Act’’) permits emerging growth companies to delay complying with new or revised financial accounting standards that do not yet apply to private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act). The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] |
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’) and pursuant to the rules of the SEC. The accompanying financial statements recognize December 12, 2014 as our date of inception. Development stage company The Company complies with the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (‘‘ASU’’) No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as ‘‘Development Stage Entities’’ (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Net loss per ordinary share The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, ‘‘Earnings Per Share’’. Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. At November 30, 2015, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants to purchase ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the periods presented. Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,’’ approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Offering costs Offering costs consisted principally of legal, accounting and underwriting costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Offering. Offering costs amounting to $12,596,191 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon completion of the Offering. Cash and securities held in Trust Account At November 30, 2015, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at November 30, 2015, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of $189,191,703 (or 18,919,170 shares) are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. Income taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, ‘‘Income Taxes,’’ which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2015. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at November 30, 2015. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. Accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to affiliate Accounts payable and accrued expenses represent amounts the Company owes to its vendors as of the balance sheet date. Due to affiliate represents general and administrative costs, professional fees and due diligence costs paid by an affiliate on behalf of the Company. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable on demand. Going concern In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, ‘‘Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern’’ (‘‘ASU 2014-15’’). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by ASU 2014-15, and does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. Recently issued accounting standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Public Offering [Text Block] |
3. Public Offering On June 16, 2015, the Company sold 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (“Public Units”) in the Offering, including the sale of units upon partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. Each Public Unit consists of one of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value, and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination. Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of ordinary shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of an initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption, as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no public warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of our initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in the same manner as if we called the warrants for redemption and required all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise. There will be no net cash settlement of the warrants under any circumstances. In connection with the Offering, the Sponsor and its designees, and an entity controlled by one of our directors, purchased from us an aggregate of 14,050,000 warrants (‘‘Private Warrants’’) at $0.50 per warrant (for a total purchase price of $7,025,000). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. Each Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at $5.75 per half share. All of the proceeds received from this private placement were placed in the Trust Account. The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the Offering except the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The purchasers have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the Private Warrants must agree to, each as described below) until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination.

Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block] |
4. Related Party Transactions On April 8, 2015, our Sponsor subscribed for an aggregate of 3,737,500 of our ordinary shares (‘‘Insider Shares’’) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.00669 per share. On April 22, 2015, the Company effected a bonus share issue of 0.03655250836 ordinary shares for each outstanding ordinary share, resulting in the Sponsor owning an aggregate of 3,874,115 Insider Shares. Also on April 22, 2015, our four independent directors purchased an aggregate of 92,000 of our Insider Shares, and an entity controlled by another director purchased an aggregate of 346,385 of our Insider Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,932, or approximately $0.00669 per share. The Company accounted for the bonus share issue as a share dividend in form because the total issuance of additional shares was less than 20% of the number of previously outstanding shares. On June 10, 2015, the entity controlled by a director transferred 45,994 of its 346,385 shares to the Sponsor for a price equal to the original subscription cost of approximately $0.00669 per share, resulting in the Sponsor owning 3,920,109 Insider Shares. Also on June 10, 2015, the Company effected a bonus share issue of 0.16666666666667 ordinary shares for each outstanding ordinary share, resulting in the Sponsor owning an aggregate of 4,573,461 Insider Shares, each of the four independent directors owning 26,833 Insider Shares, and an entity controlled by another director owning 350,457 Insider Shares. The Company accounted for this bonus share issue as a share dividend in form because the total issuance of additional shares was less than 20% of the number of previously outstanding shares. On June 16, 2015, the Company’s initial shareholders forfeited an aggregate of 31,250 Insider Shares, so that the initial shareholders own 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Public Offering. The Insider Shares are identical to the ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering. However, the holders have agreed (A) to vote the Insider Shares in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to our memorandum and articles of association with respect to our pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination unless we provide dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares in connection with any such vote, (C) not to redeem any shares (including the Insider Shares) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve our proposed initial Business Combination (or sell any shares they hold to us in a tender offer in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination) or a vote to amend the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (D) that the Insider Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. Additionally, the holders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Insider Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until the earlier of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or (ii) if after 150 days after our initial Business Combination, the closing price of our ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these transfer restrictions will be removed earlier if, after our initial Business Combination, we consummate a subsequent (i) liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property or (ii) consolidation, merger or other change in the majority of our management team. In addition, our Sponsor and an entity controlled by one of our directors purchased an aggregate of 14,050,000 Private Warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant ($7,025,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Offering. The proceeds from the private placement of the Private Warrants from the Offering were placed in the Trust Account. The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the Offering except the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The purchasers have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the Insider Shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the Private Warrants must agree to, each as described above) until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete the Business Combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public shareholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. As of November 30, 2015, an affiliate of our sponsor is owed $60,095 for general and administrative costs, due diligence costs and professional fees paid on our behalf. These advances are non-interest bearing and unsecured. Commencing on June 10, 2015, the date that our securities were first listed on Nasdaq, we have agreed to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for general and administrative services including office space, utilities and secretarial support. Total fees paid under this agreement were $56,666 for the period from December 12, 2014 (date of inception) through November 30, 2015.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] |
7. Fair Value Measurements The Company complies with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2015, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability: Description | | November 30, 2015 | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cash and securities held in Trust Account | | $ | 200,061,928 | | $ | 200,061,928 | | $ | - | | $ | - | |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
|
12 Months Ended |
Nov. 30, 2015 |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
|
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Basis of presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’) and pursuant to the rules of the SEC. The accompanying financial statements recognize December 12, 2014 as our date of inception.
|
Development Stage Company [Policy Text Block] |
Development stage company The Company complies with the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (‘‘ASU’’) No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as ‘‘Development Stage Entities’’ (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein.
|
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Net loss per ordinary share The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, ‘‘Earnings Per Share’’. Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. At November 30, 2015, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants to purchase ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.
|
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
|
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,’’ approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
|
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
Offering costs Policies [Policy Text Block] |
Offering costs Offering costs consisted principally of legal, accounting and underwriting costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Offering. Offering costs amounting to $12,596,191 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon completion of the Offering.
|
Cash And Securities Held In Trust Account [Policy Text Block] |
Cash and securities held in Trust Account At November 30, 2015, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills.
|
Shares Subject to Mandatory Redemption, Changes in Redemption Value, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at November 30, 2015, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of $189,191,703 (or 18,919,170 shares) are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
|
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Income taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, ‘‘Income Taxes,’’ which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2015. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at November 30, 2015. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
|
Accounts Payable Accrued Expenses And Due To Affiliate [Policy Text Block] |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to affiliate Accounts payable and accrued expenses represent amounts the Company owes to its vendors as of the balance sheet date. Due to affiliate represents general and administrative costs, professional fees and due diligence costs paid by an affiliate on behalf of the Company. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable on demand.
|
Going Concern Disclosure [Policy Text Block] |
Going concern In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, ‘‘Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern’’ (‘‘ASU 2014-15’’). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by ASU 2014-15, and does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
|
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Recently issued accounting standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
