    Business Combination
    The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward completing the Initial Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the Initial Business Combination.
    The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares, (i) if the Company is a foreign private issuer ("FPI"), upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, by means of a tender offer in accordance with the U.S. tender offer rules or, (ii) if the Company is not an FPI, either, (A) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Initial Business Combination, in conjunction with a proxy solicitation for such meeting pursuant to the U.S. proxy rules or, (B) by means of a tender offer, in each case, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, less taxes payable and any amounts released to the Company to fund working capital requirements.  However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate business combination.
    The Company will only have 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, being November 23, 2016, to consummate an Initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination within this period of time, it shall, (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses) and, (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders and Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company's net assets to its remaining shareholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation, subject to applicable law. The Sponsor entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which it has waived its rights to participate in any redemption with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined below); however, if the Sponsor or any of the Company's officers, directors or affiliates acquire Class A Common Shares in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company's redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination within the required time period.
