The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.postponement(s) thereof.

 

EachHolders of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow the Company more time to complete its previously announced proposed business combination, which we refer to as the “Sunlong Business Combination”, with China Sunlong Environmental Technology Inc., which we refer to as “Sunlong”, pursuant to the share exchange agreement dated August 28, 2017, as it may be amended from time to time, which we refer to as the “Share Exchange Agreement”. The Company’s IPO prospectus and amended and restated certificate of incorporation provided that the Company had until July 29, 2017 to complete a business combination. On July 27, 2017, the Company filed an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its business combination and the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination from July 29, 2017 to January 29, 2018. In addition, on July 27, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Trust Agreement with Continental to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed a business combination from July 29, 2017 to January 29, 2018.

On October 11, 2017, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement, which was subsequently amended on each of December 1, 2017, December 20, 2017 and January 10, 2018, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the “SEC”, to approve the Sunlong Business Combination, which we refer to as the “Merger Proxy Statement”. Our board of directors, which we refer to as the “Board”, currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before January 29, 2018 to complete the Sunlong Business Combination. The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow the Company more time to complete the Sunlong Business Combination, which our Board believes is in the best interestsrecord of our stockholders. As described in the Merger Proxy Statement, we intend to hold another stockholders meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the Sunlong Business Combination. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, in the event that such stockholders meeting to approve the Sunlong Business Combination is held on or prior to January 29, 2018, the Board intends to cancel the Special Meeting upon public announcement to its stockholders, either by press release and/or the filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and amounts released to us for working capital purposes), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of common stock issued in our IPO, which shares we refer to as the “public shares”, and which election we refer to as the “Election”, regardless of whether such public stockholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their public shares when the proposed business combination is submitted to the stockholders, subject to any limitations set forth in our charter as amended by the Extension Amendment. In addition, public stockholders who vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Date. Zhong Hui Holding Limited, which we refer to as our “Sponsor”, and other officers and directors own 1,312,500 shares of our common stock, which we refer to as the “Founder Shares”, that were issued to the SponsorCommon Stock at the time of our IPO, 250,000 shares of our common stock, which we refer to as the “Placement Shares”, that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO and 3,000,000 of our public shares, representing an aggregate of 81.5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date of January 3, 2018.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must affirmatively vote either “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and demand that the Company redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, and tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or January 25, 2018). A redemption demand may be made by checking the box on the proxy card provided for that purpose and returning the proxy card in accordance with the instructions provided, and, at the same time, ensuring your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified elsewhere herein. You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2017, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.00 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 3, 2018 was $9.96. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to amend the Company’s Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed a business combination, from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018, and to permit the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account to pay stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by January 29, 2018, in accordance with our charter, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to funds being lawfully available therefor, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders of the Company with respect to their public shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor and our officers and directors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares or the Placement Shares.

Subject to the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least 90% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, including the Founder Shares and the Placement Shares, will be required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. The approval of both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our stockholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on January 3, 2018 as the date for determining the Company stockholdersDecember 13, 2019 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to receive notice ofattend and vote at the Specialmeeting. The Board urges Stockholders to vote “FOR ALL” of Item 1, “FOR” of Item 2, and “FOR” of Item 3.

In the event of a liquidation, Zhong Hui Holding Limited, which we refer to as our “Sponsor”, and other officers and directors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of 1,312,500 shares of our common stock, which we refer to as the “Founder Shares”, that were issued to the Sponsor at the time of our IPO or their ownership of the 250,000 shares of our common stock, which we refer to as the “Placement Shares”, that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. As a consequence, a liquidating distribution will be made only with respect to the public shares.approve each item?

If the Company liquidates, Qi (Jacky) Zhang, the Chairman of our Board has agreed to indemnify us to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or any claims by a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per public share, except for any claims by any third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, regardless of whether such waiver is enforceable, and except for claims arising from our obligation to indemnify the underwriter of the IPO pursuant to the underwriting agreement. We cannot assure you, however, that our Chairman would be able to satisfy those obligations. Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2017, we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.00. Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if the Company liquidates, will not be less than $10.00, plus interest, due to unforeseen claims of creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Because the Company will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL as described in our prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the “SEC”, on July 24, 2015, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the 10 years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers or investment bankers) or prospective target businesses.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal will constitute consent for the Company to (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount, which we refer to as the “Withdrawal Amount”, equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and amounts released to us for working capital purposes), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the Trust Account and be available for use by the Company to complete a business combination on or before the Extended Date. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on a business combination through the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved.

Under the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Company will amend the Trust Agreement to (i) permit the withdrawal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account and (ii) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account to the Extended Date.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on January 3, 2018 as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 5,599,388 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, including 4,036,888 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in our IPO, of which 3,000,000 shares are held by our Sponsor, 1,312,500 Founder Shares and 250,000 Placement Shares.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING

These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including the annexes to this Proxy Statement.

Q.

Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?

A.

We are a blank check company formed in Delaware on April 10, 2015, for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets. On July 29, 2015, we consummated our IPO from which we derived gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Like most blank check companies, our charter provides for the return of our IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares of common stock sold in our IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before a certain date (in our case, January 29, 2018). Our Board believes that it is in the best interests of the stockholders to continue our existence until the Extended Date in order to allow us more time to complete our previously announced proposed Sunlong Business Combination.

Q.

What is being voted on?

A.

You are being asked to vote on:

●       a proposal to amend our charter to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018;
●       a proposal to amend our Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if we have not completed a business combination, from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018, and to permit the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account to pay stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal; and
●       a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.
The Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the overall implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date that we have to complete a business combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are both a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

 If the Extension AmendmentFor Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the approvalNo. 1 (election of directors), each director must be elected by a plurality of the Trust Amendment Proposal will constitute consentvotes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted for us to remove the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account, deliver to the holders of redeemed public shares their portionpurposes of the Withdrawal Amount and retain the remainderelection of the funds in the Trust Account for our use in connection with consummating a business combination on or before the Extended Date.

We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $40,400,000 that was in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2017 (approximately $35,000 of which is expected to be released to us for taxes payable or working capital purposes). In such event, we will need to obtain additional funds to complete the proposed Sunlong Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by January 29, 2018, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to funds being lawfully available therefor, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders of the Company with respect to their public shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor and our officers and directors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the Founder Shares and the Placement Shares.

Q.

Why is the Company proposing the Extension AmendmentFor Proposal No. 2 (ratification of independent auditor), and the Trust Amendment Proposal?

A.

Our charter provides for the return of our IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares of common stock sold in our IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before January 29, 2018. As explained below, we may not be able to complete the Sunlong Business Combination by that date and therefore, we are asking for an extension of this timeframe.

On August 28, 2017, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement to acquire Sunlong, which, through its subsidiaries, engages in the production and sales of solid waste recycling and comprehensive utilization equipment, as well as certain commodity exchange services and ship exchange consulting services in China.

The proposed Sunlong Business Combination qualifies as a business combination under our charter. However, we may not be able to consummate the Sunlong Business Combination by January 29, 2018, given the actions that must occur prior to completing the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, including responding to any outstanding comments received from the staffProposal No. 3 (approval of the SEC in order to receive clearance to file and mail the definitive proxy statement to approve the Sunlong Business Combination. 

We believe that the proposed Sunlong Business Combination would be in the best interests of our stockholders, and because we may not be able to conclude a business combination within the permitted time period, we have determined to seek stockholder approval to extend the date by which we have to complete a business combination.

The Company believes that given its expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed Sunlong Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider the proposed Sunlong Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to amend our charter in the form set forth in Annex A hereto to extend the date by which we must (i) consummate a business combination, (ii) cease our operations if we fail to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of our common stock included as part of the units sold in our IPO from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018, and our Board is proposing the Trust Amendment Proposal to amend the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with our IPO if we have not completed a business combination, from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018, and to permit the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account to pay stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed Sunlong Business Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Extension, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for the special meeting to consider the Sunlong Business Combination, you will retain the right to vote on the Sunlong Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event the Sunlong Business Combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

Q.

Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal?

A.

Our Board believes stockholders will benefit from our consummating the Sunlong Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to amend our charter in the form set forth in Annex A hereto to extend the date by which we must (i) consummate a business combination, (ii) cease our operations if we fail to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of our common stock included as part of the units sold in our IPO from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018, and our Board is proposing the Trust Amendment Proposal to amend the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with our IPO if we have not completed a business combination, from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018, and to permit the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account to pay stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. The Extension would give the Company the opportunity to complete a business combination. In addition, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Our charter requires2019 Equity Incentive Plan), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 90% of all then outstanding shares of common stock to effect an amendment to certain of its provisions, including any amendment that would extend its corporate existence beyond January 29, 2018, except in connection with, and effective upon consummation of, a business combination. Additionally, our charter requires that all public stockholders have an opportunity to redeem their public shares in the case our corporate existence is extended as described above. We believe that these charter provisions were included to protect our stockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the charter. We also believe, however, that given our expenditure of time, effort and money on the potential Sunlong Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders with an opportunity to consider such transaction, inasmuch as we are also affording stockholders who wish to redeem their public shares the opportunity to do so, as required under its charter. Accordingly, we believe the Extension is consistent with our charter and IPO prospectus.

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Q.

Why should I vote “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal?

A.

As discussed above, our Board believes that given our expenditure of time, effort and money on the potential Sunlong Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders with an opportunity to consider such transaction, inasmuch as we are also affording stockholders who wish to redeem their public shares the opportunity to do so, as required under its charter. In addition, approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Whether a holder of public shares votes in favor of or against the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal, if such proposals are approved, the holder may, but is not required to, redeem all or a portion of its public shares for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and amounts released to us for working capital purposes), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions or repurchases of our public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Liquidation of the Trust Account is a fundamental obligation of the Company to the public stockholders and we are not proposing and will not propose to change that obligation to the public stockholders. If holders of public shares do not elect to redeem their public shares, such holders shall retain redemption rights in connection with the proposed Sunlong Business Combination and any future business combination we propose. Assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we will have until the Extended Date to complete a business combination.
Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Q.

Why should I vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal?

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Q.

If you abstain from voting on the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal, then you will not be eligible to redeem your shares. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, then the Withdrawal Amount will be withdrawn from the Trust Account and paid to the redeeming holders.

8

Q.

What happens if the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved?

A.

Our Board will abandon the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if our stockholders do not approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by January 29, 2018, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to funds being lawfully available therefor, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders of the Company with respect to their public shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor and our officers and directors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares or the Placement Shares.

Q.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next?

A.

We are continuing our efforts to complete the proposed Sunlong Business Combination, which will involve:

●     completing the preliminary proxy statement we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the “SEC”, relating to the Sunlong Business Combination, which we refer to as the “Merger Proxy Statement”, including responding to any outstanding comments received from the staff of the SEC in order to receive clearance to file and mail the definitive proxy statement to approve the Sunlong Business Combination;

●     obtaining any other required governmental and regulatory approvals and consents;

●     establishing a meeting date and record date for considering the proposed Sunlong Business Combination, and distributing the definitive Merger Proxy Statement to stockholders; and

●     holding a special meeting to consider the proposed Sunlong Business Combination.

We are seeking approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal because we may not be able to complete all of the tasks listed above prior to January 29, 2018. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, we expect to seek stockholder approval of the proposed Sunlong Business Combination. If stockholders approve the proposed Sunlong Business Combination, we expect to consummate the business combination as soon as possible following such stockholder approval.

9

Upon approval by at least 90% of the common stock outstanding as of the record date of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, we will file an amendment to the charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form set forth in Annex A hereto. We will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and our units, common stock and warrants will remain publicly traded.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of our common stock held by our Sponsor, our directors and our officers as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares and Placement Shares.

Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Q.

What happens to the Company warrants if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved?

A.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by January 29, 2018, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to funds being lawfully available therefor, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders of the Company with respect to their public shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

Q.

What happens to the Company warrants if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved?

A.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, we will retain the blank check company restrictions previously applicable to us and continue to attempt to consummate a business combination until the Extended Date. The public warrants will remain outstanding and only become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a business combination, provided we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise warrants on a cashless basis).

Q.

Would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights if I vote “AGAINST” the proposed Sunlong Business Combination?

A.

Unless you elect to redeem your shares at this time, you will be able to vote on the proposed Sunlong Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders if you are a stockholder on the record date for the special meeting to seek stockholder approval of the Sunlong Business Combination. Whether you vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposed Sunlong Business Combination, you will retain your right to redeem your public shares upon consummation of the Sunlong Business Combination in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Sunlong Business Combination, subject to any limitations set forth in our charter.

10

Q.

How do I change my vote?

A.

You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to our Chief Executive Officer at 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, Florida 33445 so that it is received by our Chief Executive Officer prior to the Special Meeting or by attending the Special Meeting in person and voting. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to our Chief Executive Officer, which must be received by our Chief Executive Officer prior to the Special Meeting.

Please note, however, that if on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, custodian bank, or other nominee then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. If your shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote at the Special Meeting, you must bring to the Special Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

Q.

How are votes counted?

A.

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes and abstentions. Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least 90% of the outstanding shares as of the record date of our common stock, voting together as a single class.

Accordingly, a Company stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention with respect to the Extension Amendment Proposal or Trust Amendment Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders represented in person or by proxy.

Accordingly, a Company stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal.

Q.

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me?

A.

No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee, which we refer to as being held in “street name”, you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares.

11

Q.

What is a quorum requirement?

A.

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Holders of a majority in voting power of our common stock on the record date issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy constitute a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towardsFor any other matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote, the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if youaffirmative vote in person atof the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted towards the quorum requirement. In the absenceholders of a quorum, the chairmanmajority of the meeting has power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, 2,799,695stockholders’ shares of our common stock would be required to achieve a quorum. Currently, our Sponsor, certain of its affiliates and our officers and directors own approximately 81.5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including all of the Founder Shares and Placement Shares. Assuming that initial stockholders of all of such shares are present in person or represented by proxy such votes will be sufficient to meet the requisite threshold for a quorum.

Q.

Who can vote at the Special Meeting?

A.

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on January 3, 2018 are entitled to have their vote counted at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. On this record date, 5,599,388 shares of our common stock were outstandingmeeting and entitled to vote.

As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Special Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting in person, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote, is counted.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our current corporate governance practices and policies are designed to promote stockholder value and we are committed to the highest standards of corporate ethics and diligent compliance with financial accounting and reporting rules. Our Board provides independent leadership in the exercise of its responsibilities. Our management oversees a system of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and applicable laws and regulations, and our employees operate in a climate of responsibility, candor and integrity.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We and our Board are committed to high standards of corporate governance as an important component in building and maintaining stockholder value. To this end, we regularly review our corporate governance policies and practices to ensure that they are consistent with the high standards of other companies. We also closely monitor guidance issued or proposed by the SEC and the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as the emerging best practices of other companies. The current corporate governance guidelines are available on the Company’s website www.TMSR-LTD.com. Printed copies of our corporate governance guidelines may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Corporate Secretary, TMSR Holding Company Limited, A101 Hanzheng Street City Industry Park, No.21 Jiefang Avenue, Qiaokou District, Wuhan, Hubei, China 430000.

The Board and Committees of the Board

The Company is governed by the Board that currently consists of seven members as identified above. Currently, the Board has three committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

Each of these committees is comprised entirely of independent directors. From time to time, the Board may establish other committees. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Prior to establishing the committees of the Board of Directors, our entire Board of Directors handled the functions that would otherwise be handled by each of the committees.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board oversees that the assets of the Company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that the Company’s business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the Board of Directors’ oversight of the various risks facing the Company. In this regard, the Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of the Company’s business strategy. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the Board oversees risk management, the management are charged with managing risk. The Company has internal processes and a strong internal control environment to identify and manage risks and to communicate with the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal controls and the risk management program at least annually. The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through Committees. Much of the work is delegated to various Committees, which meet regularly and report back to the full Board. All Committees play significant roles in carrying out the risk oversight function which is described in more details below.


Board Independence

Our stock is currently trading on Nasdaq Capital Market; we are required to comply with the director independence requirements of the Nasdaq rules. The Board of Directors also consults with counsel to ensure that the Boards of Directors’ determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors, including those adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the independence of Audit Committee members. The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. Four of our directors, Ms. Manli Long, Mr. Xueyuan Han, Mr. Min Zhu and Mr. Mingze Yin are “independent” as that term is defined by Nasdaq Rule 4200(a)(15); accordingly, we satisfy the “independent director” requirements, which requires that a majority of a company’s directors be independent.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Xueyuan Han, Ms. Manli Long, Mr. Min Zhu and Mr. Mingze Yin with Mr. Xueyuan Han serving as the chairman of the Audit Committee. We believe that each of these individuals qualify as independent directors according to the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect to audit committee membership. We also believe that Mr. Xueyuan Han qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is attached as an exhibit to this Report.

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 our annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;
   
 contain projections of future results of operations ordiscussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial condition; or

state other “forward-looking” information.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The cautionary language discussed in this Proxy Statement provides examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us in such forward-looking statements, including, among other things, claims by third parties against the Trust Account, unanticipated delays in the distribution of the funds from the Trust Account and our ability to finance and consummate a business combination. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

BACKGROUND

JM Global Holding Company

We are a blank check company formed in Delaware on April 10, 2015, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

There are currently 5,599,388 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding, consisting of 4,036,888 shares originally sold as part of the units issued in our IPO, of which 3,000,000 shares are held by our Sponsor, 1,312,500 Founder Shares and 250,000 Placement Shares. In addition, we issued 5,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock (originally sold as part of the units issued in our IPO) as part of our IPO, along with 250,000 warrants issued to our Sponsor in a private placement simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO, which we refer to as the “private placement warrants”. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one-half of one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per half share, to be exercised only for a whole number of shares of our common stock. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of our business combination and expire five years after the completion of our business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The private placement warrants, however, are non-redeemable so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. In addition, there currently are: (i) options to purchase 6,000 shares of our common stock outstanding, which options were issued to two of our directors and are exercisable at a price of $9.79 per share commencing six months after completion of our business combination and expiring five years thereafter, and (ii) a unit purchase option held by the underwriter in our IPO, which option entitles the holder to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock and 400,000 warrants to purchase 200,000 shares at $11.50 per full share, at any time after completion of our business combination until July 23, 2020.

Net proceeds of $40,400,000 from our IPO and the simultaneous sale of our units in a private placement transaction are being held in our Trust Account in the United States maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, invested in U.S. “government securities”, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which we refer to as the “1940 Act”, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a business combination or (ii) the distribution of the proceeds in the Trust Account as described below.

Interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to us for working capital purposes or the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses. As of December 31, 2017, approximately $40,400,000 was in the Trust Account. It is expected that approximately $35,000 will be released to us for taxes payable or working capital purposes. The mailing address is Company’s principal executive office is 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, Florida 33445.

The Proposed Sunlong Business Combination

On October 11, 2017, the Company filed a preliminary Merger Proxy Statement with the SECreporting issues and judgments made in connection with the Sunlong Business Combination, which preliminary Merger Proxy Statement was subsequently amended on December 1, 2017, December 20, 2017 and January 10, 2018. Following completion of the SEC’s review process, a definitive Merger Proxy Statement will be mailed to stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Sunlong Business Combination. The Merger Proxy Statement contains important information regarding the Sunlong Business Combination. The following description of the Share Exchange Agreement is qualified in all respects by reference to the more detailed description in the Merger Proxy Statement.

16

On August 28, 2017, the Comany entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with Sunlong, our Sponsor, in its capacity thereunder as the representative from and after the closing for the shareholders of the Company other than the Sellers and their successors and assigns, which we refer to as the “Purchaser Representative”, the stockholders of Sunlong, which we refer to as the “Sellers”, and Chuanliu Ni, solely in his capacity as the representative of the Sellers, which we refer to as the “Seller Representative”, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Company will effect an acquisition of Sunlong by acquiring from all outstanding equity interests of Sunlong.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of Sunlong, we agreed to issue to the Sellers a number of shares of our common stock, which we refer to as the “Exchange Shares”, at $10.00 per share based on an adjusted equity valuation of Sunlong, which we refer to as the “Adjusted Equity Value” determined by starting with a base valuation of $92.0 million, deducting the amount of indebtedness (net of cash) of Sunlong as of the closing, deducting the amount of unpaid transaction expenses incurred by Sunlong, and increasing (or decreasing if negative) such valuation to the extent that the net working capital (excluding indebtedness, cash and transaction expenses) of Sunlong as of the closing is greater than $26.55 million. Ten percent of the Exchange Shares to be issued to Sellers at closing will be deposited in escrow, which we refer to as the “Escrow Shares”, along with related dividends, to support certain indemnification obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement.

It is anticipated that, following completion of the Sunlong Business Combination, assuming that (i) there are no redemptions in connection with the closing, (ii) the Adjusted Equity Value, based on the unaudited pro forma financial statements included in the Merger Proxy Statement, is equal to $94,820,429, such that approximately 9,482,043 Exchange Shares are issued at the closing, with 10% of such Exchange Shares being deposited in escrow as Escrow Shares, and (iii) the Escrow Shares are deemed to be outstanding and owned by the Sellers while held in escrow, our existing stockholders, including our Sponsor, will retain an ownership interest of approximately 37.1% of the Company, and Sunlong’s existing stockholders will own approximately 62.9% of our outstanding common stock. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the proposed Sunlong Business Combination is qualified in all respects by reference to the complete text of the Share Exchange Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 1, 2017, as well as the Merger Proxy Statement, as last filed on January 10, 2018, and as may be subsequently amended.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed Sunlong Business Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Extension, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for the special meeting to consider the Sunlong Business Combination, you will retain the right to vote on the Sunlong Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event the Sunlong Business Combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

The Company is proposing to amend its charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date.

The Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the overall implementation of the Board’s plan to allow the Company more time to complete a business combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are both a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by January 29, 2018, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to funds being lawfully available therefor, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders of the Company with respect to their public shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

The Board believes that the Sunlong Business Combination is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Additionally, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the proposed Sunlong Business Combination, our Board believes that circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider the proposed Sunlong Business Combination.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the charter of the Company is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex A.

Trust Amendment Proposal

The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to amend the Company’s Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed a business combination, from January 29, 2018 to April 30, 2018, and to permit the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account to pay stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex B.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal

The Company’s IPO prospectus and charter provide that the Company had until July 29, 2017 to complete the purposes of the Company including, but not limited to, effecting a business combination under its terms. On July 27, 2017, the Company filed an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its business combination and the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination from July 29, 2017 to January 29, 2018. Our Board currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before July 29, 2017 to complete the proposed Sunlong Business Combination. Our IPO prospectus and charter provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 90% of all outstanding shares of common stock is required to extend our corporate existence, except in connection with, and effective upon consummation of, a business combination. Additionally, our IPO prospectus and charter provide for all public stockholders to have an opportunity to redeem their public shares in the case our corporate existence is extended as described above. Because the Company believes the proposed Sunlong Business Combination to be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, and because the Company may not be able to complete the proposed Sunlong Business Combination by January 29, 2018, the Company has determined to seek stockholder approval to extend the time for closing a business combination beyond January 29, 2018 to the Extended Date. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company expects to seek stockholder approval of such Sunlong Business Combination after the Merger Proxy Statement filed by the Company in connection with the proposed Sunlong Business Combination has been cleared by the SEC. We intend to hold another stockholders meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the proposed Sunlong Business Combination.

18

We believe that the foregoing charter provision was included to protect Company stockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the charter. We also believe, however, that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the potential Sunlong Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider such a business combination. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, in the event that such stockholders meeting to approve the Sunlong Business Combination is held on or prior to January 29, 2018, the Board intends to cancel the Special Meeting upon public announcement to its stockholders, either by press release and/or the filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K.

If Either the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

The approval of both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our stockholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal or Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by January 29, 2018, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to funds being lawfully available therefor, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders of the Company with respect to their public shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants which will expire worthless in the event we wind up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor and our officers and directors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares or the Placement Shares.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal Are Approved

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and a stockholders meeting to approve the Sunlong Business Combination is not held prior to the Special Meeting, the Company will file an amendment to the charter with the Secretary of the State of Delaware in the form set forth in Annex A hereto to extend the time it has to complete a business combination until the Extended Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and its units, common stock and warrants will remain publicly traded. The Company will then continue to work to consummate a business combination by the Extended Date.

Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, in the event that such stockholders meeting to approve the Sunlong Business Combination is held on or prior to January 29, 2018, the Board intends to cancel the Special Meeting upon public announcement to its stockholders, either by press release and/or the filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K.

19

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed Sunlong Business Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Extension, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for the special meeting to consider the Sunlong Business Combination, you will retain the right to vote on the Sunlong Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event the Sunlong Business Combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $40,400,000 that was in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2017 (approximately $35,000 of which is expected to be released to us for taxes payable or working capital purposes). We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions or repurchases of our public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Redemption Rights

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, each public stockholder may seek to redeem his public shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and amounts released to us for working capital purposes), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Holders of public shares who do not elect to redeem their public shares in connection with the Extension will retain the right to redeem their public shares in connection with any stockholder vote to approve a proposed business combination, or if the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST AFFIRMATIVELY VOTE EITHER “FOR” OR “AGAINST” THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL, CHECK THE BOX ON THE PROXY CARD PROVIDED FOR THAT PURPOSE AND RETURN THE PROXY CARD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED, SUBMIT A REQUEST IN WRITING THAT WE REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES FOR CASH TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY AT THE ADDRESS BELOW, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN, INCLUDING DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO THE VOTE ON THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT.

In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 25, 2018 (two business days before the Special Meeting), you must elect either to physically tender your stock certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004-1561, Attn: Mark Zimkind, E-mail: mzimkind@continentalstock.com, or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 25, 2018 (two business days before the Special Meeting) ensures that a redeeming holder’s election is irrevocable once the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, stockholders making the election will not be able to tender their shares after the vote at the Special Meeting.

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the stockholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering 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 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. Such stockholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those stockholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Stockholders who request physical stock certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

20

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 25, 2018 (two business days before the Special Meeting) will not be redeemed for cash held in the Trust Account on the redemption date. In the event that a public stockholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the Special Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the stockholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Special Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public stockholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the stockholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal will not be approved. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public stockholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such stockholders.

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and amounts released to us for working capital purposes), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2017, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.00 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 3, 2018 was $9.96.

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your shares of the Company’s common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your stock certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 25, 2018 (two business days before the Special Meeting). The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of United States federal income tax considerations for holders of our common stock with respect to the exercise of redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code”, the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the “IRS”, and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, pension plans, S corporations, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, trusts and estates, partnerships and their partners, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)) and investors that will hold common stock as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion,” “synthetic security,” “constructive ownership transaction,” “constructive sale,” or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, investors subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, U.S. expatriates, investors that actually or constructively own 5 percent or more of common stock of the Company, and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below, and except as otherwise discussed below), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state, local, or non-United States tax considerations, any non-income tax (such as gift or estate tax) considerations, alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax. In addition, this summary is limited to investors that hold our common stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the Code.

21

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of a redemption.

WE URGE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK CONTEMPLATING EXERCISE OF THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to U.S. holders of our common stock that elect to have their common stock of the Company redeemed for cash. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner that so redeems its common stock of the Company and is:

an individual who is a United States citizen or resident of the United States;

a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Redemption of Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. Holder’s common stock of the Company is redeemed, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale of the common stock under Section 302 of the Code. Whether the redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of our shares both before and after the redemption. The redemption of common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the common stock (rather than as a distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s conversion results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

22

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a distribution and the tax effects will be as described below under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders —  Taxation of Distributions.”

U.S. Holders of our common stock considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their common stock of the Company will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock, a U.S. Holder must treat any gain or loss recognized upon a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock as capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Generally, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition (or, if the common stock is held as part of a unit at the time of the disposition, the portion of the amount realized on such disposition that is allocated to the common stock based upon the then fair market values of the common stock and the warrant included in the unit) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock so disposed of. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost (that is, as discussed above, the portion of the purchase price of a unit allocated to a share of common stock or, as discussed below, the U.S. Holder’s initial basis for common stock received upon exercise of a warrant) less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Taxation of Distributions

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution. In general, any distributions to U.S. Holders generally will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will be treated as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock”. Dividends we pay to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions, and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be taxable at a reduced rate.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to non-U.S. holders of our common stock that elect to have their common stock of the Company redeemed for cash. For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership) that so redeems its common stock of the Company and is not a U.S. Holder.

Redemption of Common Stock

The characterization for United States federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s common stock generally will correspond to the United States federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s common stock, as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders”.

Non-U.S. Holders of our common stock considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their common stock of the Company will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

23

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale of its common stock of the Company, unless:

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder), in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. Holder with respect to the redemption, and a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty);

the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year in which the redemption takes place and certain other conditions are met, in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual’s net capital gain for the year; or

we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for United States federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our common stock, and, in the case where sharespreparation of our common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares of our common stock.

Taxation of Distributions

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution. In general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. Holder of shares of our common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders —  Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock”. Dividends we pay to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States generally will not be subject to United States withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements. Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to United States federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders (subject to an exemption or reduction in such tax as may be provided by an applicable income tax treaty). If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

Taxation of Common Stock Held Through Foreign Accounts

A 30% withholding tax applies with respect to certain payments on, and, after December 31, 2018, gross proceeds from a sale or disposition of, our common stock in each case if paid to a foreign financial institution or a non-financial foreign entity (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial U.S. owners of the entity, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country or future Treasury Regulations may modify these requirements.

Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of such withholding tax.

As previously noted above, the foregoing discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is included for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any stockholder. We once again urge you to consult with your own tax adviser to determine the particular tax consequences to you (including the application and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

The Special Meeting

Date, Time and Place.  The Special Meeting of the Company’s stockholders will be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on January 29, 2018 at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10105.

Voting Power; Record Date.  You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting, if you owned the Company’s common stock at the close of business on January 3, 2018, the record date for the Special Meeting. You will have one vote per proposal for each share of Company common stock you owned at that time. The Company warrants do not carry voting rights.

Votes Required.  Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 90% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the record date. If you do not vote (i.e., you “abstain” from voting on a proposal), your action will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as “AGAINST” votes.

At the close of business on the record date of the Special Meeting, there were 5,599,388 outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, each of which entitles its holder to cast one vote per proposal.

If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment Proposal. You will be entitled to redeem your shares for cash in connection with this vote only if you vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and elect to redeem your shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you abstain from voting on the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal, then you will not be eligible to redeem your shares. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

25

Proxies; Board Solicitation; Proxy Solicitor.  Your proxy is being solicited by the Board on the proposals to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal being presented to stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Company has engaged Advantage Proxy to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. No recommendation is being made as to whether you should elect to redeem your shares.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote by holders of at least 90% of the Company’s outstanding common stock is required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, the Extension Amendment will not be implemented and the Company will be required by its charter to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to funds being lawfully available therefor, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders of the Company with respect to their public shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The approval of both the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our stockholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Our Sponsor and all of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any common stock owned by them in favor of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. On the record date, our Sponsor, directors and executive officers of the Company and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 4,562,500 shares of the Company’s common stock representing approximately 81.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

In addition, our Sponsor and the Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates may choose to buy shares of the Company public common stock in the open market and/or through negotiated private purchases. None of our directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account.

When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, executive officers and members of our Board have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

the fact that our Sponsor and our officers and directors paid an aggregate of approximately $2.5 million for their Founder Shares and placement units and such securities may have a significantly higher value at the time of the Sunlong Business Combination. However, the placement warrants comprising the placement units will expire worthless if we do not complete a business combination. As a result, our Sponsor (and its members, including our executive officers and directors) have a financial incentive to see the Sunlong Business Combination consummated rather than lose whatever value is gained on the Founder Shares and placement units, as well as any value attributable to the placement warrant;statements;

On October 11, 2017, the Company filed a preliminary Merger Proxy Statement, which proxy statement was subsequently amended on December 1, 2017, December 20, 2017 and January 10, 2018. Our Board currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before January 29, 2018 to complete the Sunlong Business Combination. Our IPO prospectus and charter provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 90% of all outstandingno shares of common stock were granted to our officers and directors under any plan.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment, Change-in-Control Arrangements

Under these agreements, each of our executive officers is required to extend our corporate existence, except in connection with, and effective upon consummation of,employed for a business combination. Additionally, our IPO prospectus and charter providespecified time period. We may terminate employment for all public stockholders to have an opportunity to redeem their public shares in the case our corporate existence is extended as described above. Because the Company believes that the proposed Sunlong Business Combination to be in the best interestscause, at any time, without advance notice or remuneration, for certain acts of the Company’s stockholders, and because the Companyexecutive officer, such as conviction or plea of guilty to a crime, or misconduct or a failure to perform agreed duties. The executive officer may not be able to complete the proposed Sunlong Business Combination by January 29, 2018, the Company has determined to seek stockholder approval to extend theresign at any time for closingwith a business combination beyond January 29, 2018 to the Extended Date. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company expects to seek stockholder approval of such Sunlong Business Combination after the Merger Proxy Statement has been cleared by the SEC. We intend to hold another stockholders meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the proposed Sunlong Business Combination. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, in the event that such stockholders meeting to approve the Sunlong Business Combination is held on or prior to January 29, 2018, the Board intends to cancel the Special Meeting upon public announcement to its stockholders, either by press release and/or the filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K.three-month advance written notice.

The Company’s charter provides that if the Company’s stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its business combination before January 29, 2018, the Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of common stock upon such approval at a per-share price, payablefollowing table represents compensation earned by our non-executive directors in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and amounts released to us for working capital purposes), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We believe that this charter provision was included to protect the Company stockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the charter. We also believe that, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the potential Sunlong Business Combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider such business combination.2018.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has selected WWC. P.C. (“WWC”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company to audit our financial statements at December 31, 2019 and for the fiscal year then ending. As discussed below, WWC was appointed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on April 10, 2018.

We are asking our stockholders to approve and ratify the appointment of WWC as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the appointment of WWC to our stockholders for approval and ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event our stockholders fail to approve and ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee may reconsider this appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent audit firm at any time during the year if it is determined that such change would be in best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Representatives of WWC will be available via teleconference during the Meeting, at which time they may make any statement they consider appropriate and will respond to appropriate questions raised at the Meeting.

On October 26, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) confirmed and approved the dismissal of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) which was the Company’s auditor since April 10, 2018. 

On October 26, 2018, as part of the deemed change in independent registered public accounting firms described above, the Board confirmed, recommended and approved the appointment of WWC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through October 26, 2018, the Company has not consulted with WWC regarding (1) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, or (2) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 

APPROVAL OF 2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board has declared advisable, adopted and is submitting for stockholder approval, the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in the Company, which interest may be measured by reference to the value of our common stock.

If approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Plan will be effective as of December 12, 2019 (the date that the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Plan). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Proposal No. 3 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan.

Description of the Plan

Administration. Our Compensation Committee will administer the Plan. The Committee will have the authority to determine the terms and conditions of any agreements evidencing any Awards granted under the Plan and to adopt, alter and repeal rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan. Our Compensation Committee will have full discretion to administer and interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable.

Eligibility. Current or prospective employees, directors, officers, advisors or consultants of the Company or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the Plan. Our Compensation Committee has the sole and complete authority to determine who will be granted an award under the Plan, however, it may delegate such authority to one or more officers of the Company under the circumstances set forth in the Plan.

Number of Shares Authorized. The Plan provides for an aggregate of Three Million (3,000,000) Common Stock to be available for awards. If an award is forfeited or if any option terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, the Common Shares subject to such award will again be made available for future grant. Common Shares that are used to pay the exercise price of an option or that are withheld to satisfy the Participant’s tax withholding obligation will not be available for re-grant under the Plan.


Each Common Share subject to an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right will reduce the number of Common Shares available for issuance by one share, and each Common Share underlying an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards and Performance Compensation Awards will reduce the number of Common Shares available for issuance by one share.

If there is any change in our corporate capitalization, the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion may make substitutions or adjustments to the number of shares reserved for issuance under our Plan, the number of shares covered by awards then outstanding under our Plan, the limitations on awards under our Plan, the exercise price of outstanding options and such other equitable substitution or adjustments as it may determine appropriate.

The Plan will have a term of ten years and no further awards may be granted under the Plan after that date.

Awards Available for Grant. Our Compensation Committee may grant awards of Non-Qualified Stock Options, Incentive (qualified) Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards, Performance Compensation Awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing.

Options. Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to grant Options to purchase Common Shares that are either “qualified,” meaning they are intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422 for incentive stock options, or “non-qualified,” meaning they are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Options granted under the Plan will be subject to the terms and conditions established by our Compensation Committee. Under the terms of the Plan, the exercise price of the Options will be set forth in the applicable Award agreement. Options granted under the Plan will be subject to such terms, including the exercise price and the conditions and timing of exercise, as may be determined by our Compensation Committee and specified in the applicable Award agreement. The maximum term of an option granted under the Plan will be ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of a qualified option granted to a 10% stockholder).

Stock Appreciation Rights. Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to award Stock Appreciation Rights (or SARs) under the Plan. SARs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by our Compensation Committee. An SAR is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, either in the form of cash, shares or any combination of cash and shares, the appreciation, if any, in the value of a share over a certain period of time. An Option granted under the Plan may include SARs and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an Option. SARs granted in connection with an Option shall be subject to terms similar to the Option corresponding to such SARs. SARs shall be subject to terms established by our Compensation Committee and reflected in the Award agreement.

Restricted Stock. Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to award Restricted Stock under the Plan. Our Compensation Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Stock awards. Restricted Stock are Common Shares that generally are non-transferable and subject to other restrictions determined by our Compensation Committee for a specified period. Unless our Compensation Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an Award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the restricted period, then any unvested Restricted Stock is forfeited.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to award Restricted Stock Unit awards. Our Compensation Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Stock Units. Unless our Compensation Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an Award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the period of time over which all or a portion of the units are to be earned, then any unvested units will be forfeited.

Stock Bonus Awards. Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to grant awards of unrestricted Common Shares or other awards denominated in Common Shares, either alone or in tandem with other awards, under such terms and conditions as our Compensation Committee may determine.


Performance Compensation Awards. Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to grant any award under the Plan in the form of a Performance Compensation Award by conditioning the vesting of the award on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

Transferability. Each award may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the participant’s guardian or legal representative and may not be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Our Compensation Committee, however, may permit awards (other than incentive stock options) to be transferred to family members, a trust for the benefit of such family members, a partnership or limited liability company whose partners or stockholders are the participant and his or her family members or anyone else approved by it.

Amendment. The Plan will have a term of ten years. Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; however, stockholder approval to amend the Plan may be necessary if the law or the rules of the national exchange so requires. No amendment, suspension or termination will impair the rights of any participant or recipient of any Award without the consent of the participant or recipient.

Change in Control. Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award agreement or as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, in the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding options and equity awards (other than performance compensation awards) issued under the Plan will become fully vested and performance compensation awards will vest, as determined by our Compensation Committee, based on the level of attainment of the specified performance goals.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise and vesting of awards under the Plan and the disposition of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such awards and is intended to reflect the current provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder. This summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable law, nor does it address foreign, state, local and payroll tax considerations. Moreover, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any particular participant may differ from those described herein by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such participant.

Options. There are a number of requirements that must be met for a particular option to be treated as a qualified option. One such requirement is that Common Shares acquired through the exercise of a qualified option cannot be disposed of before the later of (i) two years from the date of grant of the option, or (ii) one year from the date of exercise. Holders of qualified options will generally incur no federal income tax liability at the time of grant or upon exercise of those options. However, the spread at exercise will be an “item of tax preference,” which may give rise to “alternative minimum tax” liability for the taxable year in which the exercise occurs. If the holder does not dispose of the shares before the later of two years following the date of grant and one year following the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon disposition of the shares will constitute long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be. Assuming both holding periods are satisfied, no deduction will be allowed to the company for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of the qualified option. If, within two years following the date of grant or within one year following the date of exercise, the holder of shares acquired through the exercise of a qualified option disposes of those shares, the participant will generally realize taxable compensation at the time of such disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lesser of the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the subsequent disposition of the shares, and that amount will generally be deductible by the company for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations on deductibility under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to executives designated in those Sections. Finally, if an otherwise qualified option becomes first exercisable in any one year for shares having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000 (based on the grant date value), the portion of the qualified option in respect of those excess shares will be treated as a non-qualified stock option for federal income tax purposes.

No income will be realized by a participant upon grant of a non-qualified stock option. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying exercised shares over the option exercise price paid at the time of exercise. The company will be able to deduct this same amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.


Restricted Stock. A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an award of restricted stock unless the participant otherwise elects to be taxed at the time of grant pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. On the date an award of restricted stock becomes transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize taxable compensation equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on that date over the amount the participant paid for such shares, if any, unless the participant made an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at the time of grant. If the participant made an election under Section 83(b), the participant will recognize taxable compensation at the time of grant equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant over the amount the participant paid for such shares, if any. (Special rules apply to the receipt and disposition of restricted shares received by officers and directors who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). The company will be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized by the participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

Restricted Stock Units. A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of a restricted stock unit award. Rather, upon the delivery of shares or cash pursuant to a restricted stock unit award, the participant will have taxable compensation equal to the fair market value of the number of shares (or the amount of cash) the participant actually receives with respect to the award. The company will be able to deduct the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but the deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

SARs. No income will be realized by a participant upon grant of an SAR. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the payment received in respect of the SAR. The company will be able to deduct this same amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

Stock Bonus Awards. A participant will have taxable compensation equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date the Common Shares subject to the award are transferred to the participant over the amount the participant paid for such shares, if any. The company will be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized by the participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

Section 162(m). In general, Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly held corporation a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per year per person to its principal executive officer and the three other officers (other than the principal executive officer and principal financial officer) whose compensation is disclosed in its proxy statement as a result of their total compensation, subject to certain exceptions. The Plan is intended to satisfy an exception with respect to grants of options to covered employees. In addition, the Plan is designed to permit certain awards of Options, Stock Appreciation Right, restricted stock, restricted stock units, cash bonus awards and other awards to be awarded as performance compensation awards intended to qualify under the “performance-based compensation”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Common Shares shall not be available again for Awards under the Plan: (i) shares tendered or held back upon the exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the Exercise Price of an Award; (ii) shares that are used or withheld to satisfy tax obligations of the Participant; and (iii) shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR upon exercise thereof.

(e) Subject to compliance with Section 1.409A-3(f) of the Treasury Regulations, Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under this Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”).

7. Options.

(a) Generally. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement. All Options granted under this Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding any designation of an Option, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Common Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless this Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code, provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under this Plan.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per Common Share for each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Affiliate, the Exercise Price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant; and, provided further, that notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par value per Common Share.

(c) Vesting and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and as set forth in the applicable Award agreement, and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); providedhowever, that the Option Period shall not exceed five (5) years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Affiliate; and, providedfurther, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such Option other than with respect to exercisability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement:

(i) an Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Common Shares subject to such Option on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Grant;

(ii) the unvested portion of an Option shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the Option, and the vested portion of such Option shall remain exercisable for:

(A) one year following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or Disability (with the determination of Disability to be made by the Committee on a case by case basis), but not later than the expiration of the Option Period;

(B) for directors, officers and employees of the Company only, for the remainder of the Option Period following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s Retirement (it being understood that any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option if exercise is not undertaken within 90 days of the date of Retirement);


(C) 90 calendar days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the Option Period; and

(iii) both the unvested and the vested portion of an Option shall immediately expire upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or service by the Company for Cause.

(d) Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No Common Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. Options that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award agreement accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash, check (subject to collection), cash equivalent and/or vested Common Shares valued at the Closing Price at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of Common Shares in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, however, that such Common Shares are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and are Mature Shares and; (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in accordance with applicable law, in its sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a fair market value (as determined by the Committee in its discretion) on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or (B) if there is a public market for the Common Shares at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised that number of Common Shares having a Closing Price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised. Any fractional Common Shares shall be settled in cash. 

(e) Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he makes a disqualifying disposition of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Common Shares before the later of (A) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (B) one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence.

(f) Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, if applicable, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Generally. Each SAR granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement. Any Option granted under this Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.


(b) Vesting and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable and shall expire in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “SAR Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any SAR, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such SAR other than with respect to exercisability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement:

(i) a SAR shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Common Shares subject to such SAR on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant;

(ii) the unvested portion of a SAR shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the SAR, and the vested portion of such SAR shall remain exercisable for:

(A) one year following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or Disability (with the determination of Disability to be made by the Committee on a case by case basis), but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period; 

(B) for directors, officers and employees of the Company only, for the remainder of the SAR Period following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s Retirement;

(C) 90 calendar days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period; and

(iii) both the unvested and the vested portion of a SAR shall expire immediately upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or service by the Company for Cause.

(c) Method of Exercise. SARs that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the last day of the Option Period (or in the case of a SAR independent of an option, the SAR Period), the Closing Price exceeds the Strike Price, the Participant has not exercised the SAR or the corresponding Option (if applicable), and neither the SAR nor the corresponding Option (if applicable) has expired, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on such last day and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor.

(d) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Closing Price of one Common Share on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in Common Shares valued at fair market value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional Common Share shall be settled in cash.

9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Generally. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each such grant shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.


(b) Restricted Accounts; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, a book entry in a restricted account shall be established in the Participant’s name at the Company’s transfer agent and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than held in such restricted account pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate share power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank share power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void ab initio. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award agreement, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends, if applicable. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any share certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. 

(c) Vesting; Acceleration of Lapse of Restrictions. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement: (i) the Restricted Period shall lapse with respect to 100% of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Grant; and (ii) the unvested portion of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate and be forfeited upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the applicable Award.

(d) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. (i) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable certificate shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock that have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share).Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in Common Shares having a Closing Price equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends (except as otherwise set forth by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement).

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, one Common Share for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; providedhowever, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, elect to (i) pay cash or part cash and part Common Share in lieu of delivering only Common Shares in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (ii) defer the delivery of Common Shares (or cash or part Common Shares and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period if such delivery would result in a violation of applicable law until such time as is no longer the case. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Closing Price of the Common Shares as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, less an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld.

10. Stock Bonus Awards. The Committee may issue unrestricted Common Shares, or other Awards denominated in Common Shares, under this Plan to Eligible Persons, either alone or in tandem with other awards, in such amounts as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine. Each Stock Bonus Award granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Stock Bonus Award so granted shall be subject to such conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement. 

11. Performance Compensation Awards.

(a) Generally. The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award described in Sections 7 through 10 of this Plan, to designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall have the authority to make an award of a cash bonus to any Participant and designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.


(b) Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. With regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have sole discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goals(s) that is (are) to apply and the Performance Formula. Within the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record the same in writing.

(c) Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s) shall be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee. Any one or more of the Performance Criteria adopted by the Committee may be used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates as a whole or any business unit(s) of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of Performance Goals pursuant to the Performance Criteria specified in this paragraph. To the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall, within the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for such Performance Period and thereafter promptly communicate such Performance Criteria to the Participant.

(d) Modification of Performance Goal(s). In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Criteria without obtaining stockholder approval of such alterations, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such alterations without obtaining stockholder approval. The Committee is authorized at any time during the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), or at any time thereafter to the extent the exercise of such authority at such time would not cause the Performance Compensation Awards granted to any Participant for such Performance Period to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, in its sole discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period, based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (i) asset write-downs; (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (iv) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (v) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; (vi) acquisitions or divestitures; (vii) any other specific unusual or nonrecurring events, or objectively determinable category thereof; (viii) foreign exchange gains and losses; and (ix) a change in the Company’s fiscal year. 

(e) Payment of Performance Compensation Awards.

(i) Condition to Receipt of Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period.

(ii) Limitation. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that: (A) the Performance Goals for such period are achieved; and (B) all or some of the portion of such Participant’s Performance Compensation Award has been earned for the Performance Period based on the application of the Performance Formula to such achieved Performance Goals.


(iii) Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award actually payable for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion.

(iv) Use of Negative Discretion. In determining the actual amount of an individual Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. The Committee shall not have the discretion, except as is otherwise provided in this Plan, to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Compensation Awards for a Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained; or (B) increase a Performance Compensation Award above the applicable limitations set forth in Section 5 of this Plan.

(f) Timing of Award Payments. Performance Compensation Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following completion of the certifications required by this Section 11, but in no event later than two-and-one-half months following the end of the fiscal year during which the Performance Period is completed in order to comply with the short-term deferral rules under Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of a Performance Compensation Award may be delayed, as permitted by Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that if such payment were made as scheduled, the Company’s tax deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code.

12. Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. In the event of (a) any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form substantiallyof cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Common Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the Common Shares, or (b) unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, then the Committee shall make any such adjustments that are equitable, including without limitation any or all of the following:

(i) adjusting any or all of (A) the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under this Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5 of this Plan) and (B) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (2) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award or (3) any applicable performance measures (including, without limitation, Performance Criteria and Performance Goals);

(ii) providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event; and

(iii) subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, canceling any one or more outstanding Awards and causing to be paid to the holders thereof, in cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per Common Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the Common Shares subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the fair market value of a Common Share subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor);


providedhowever, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) or ASC Topic 718, or any successor thereto), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring. Any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Section 12 (other than any cancellation of Incentive Stock Options) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 12 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

13. Effect of Change in Control. Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award agreement or as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, in the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to all or any portion of a particular outstanding Award or Awards:

(a) all of the then outstanding Options and SARs may immediately vest and may become immediately exercisable as of a time prior to the Change in Control; 

(b) the Restricted Period may expire as of a time prior to the Change in Control (including without limitation a waiver of any applicable Performance Goals);

(c) Performance Periods in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs may end on such date, and the Committee (i) shall determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Performance Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial information or other information then available as it deems relevant and (ii) may cause the Participant to receive partial or full payment of Awards for each such Performance Period based upon the Committee’s determination of the degree of attainment of the Performance Goals, or assuming that the applicable “target” levels of performance have been attained or on such other basis determined by the Committee.

To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee under the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (c) shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected Participants the ability to participate in the Change in Control transactions with respect to the Common Shares subject to their Awards. In the event no action is taken by the Committee to allow for the changes set forth in immediately preceding clauses (a) through (c), then no changes to the Award shall be effected.

14. Amendments and Termination.

(a)  Amendment and Termination of this Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate this Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that (i) no amendment to the definition of Eligible Employee in Section 2, Section 5(i), Section 11(c) or Section 14(b) (to the extent required by the proviso in such Section 14(b)) shall be made without stockholder approval and (ii) no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to this Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares may be listed or quoted or to prevent the Company from being denied a tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code); and,providedfurther, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the prior written consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.


(b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable Award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided, however that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant; and, providedfurther, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 12 of this Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR, (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR, another Award or cash or take any action that would have the effect of treating such Award as a new Award for tax or accounting purposes and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted. 

15. General.
