Acquisition/Liquidation Procedure The Company agrees: (i) that, prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, it will submit such transaction to the Company's stockholders for their approval ("Business Combination Vote") even if the nature of the acquisition is such as would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law; and (ii) that, in the event that the Company does not effect a Business Combination within 18 months from the consummation of this Offering (subject to extension for an additional six-month period, as described in the Prospectus), the Company will be liquidated and will distribute to all holders of IPO Shares (defined below) an aggregate sum equal to the Company's "Liquidation Value." With respect to the Business Combination Vote, the Company shall cause all of the Initial Stockholders to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to this Offering in accordance with the vote of the holders of a majority of the IPO Shares. At the time the Company seeks approval of any potential Business Combination, the Company will offer each of holders of the Company's Common Stock issued in this Offering ("IPO Shares") the right to convert their IPO Shares at a per share price equal to the amount in the Trust Fund (inclusive of any interest income therein) on the record date ("Conversion Price") for determination of stockholders entitled to vote upon the proposal to approve such Business Combination ("Record Date") divided by the total number of IPO Shares. The Company's "Liquidation Value" shall mean the Company's book value, as determined by the Company and audited by BDO. In no event, however, will the Company's Liquidation Value be less than the Trust Fund, inclusive of any net interest income thereon. If holders of less than 20% in interest of the Company's IPO Shares vote against such approval of a Business Combination, the Company may, but will not be required to, proceed with such Business Combination. If the Company elects to so proceed, it will convert shares, based upon the Conversion Price, from those holders of IPO Shares who affirmatively requested such conversion and who voted against the Business Combination. Only holders of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions and the Company shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of capital stock of the Company. If holders of 20% or more in interest of the IPO Shares vote against approval of any potential Business Combination, the Company will not proceed with such Business Combination and will not convert such shares.
Termination and Liquidation 4.1 If, at any time:
(i) a Party fails to make any payment when due under or to make or take delivery of any property when due under, or to observe or perform any other provision of, this agreement (including any Transaction governed by these terms) and such failure continues for two business days after notice of non-performance has been given by the other Party to the defaulting Party;
(ii) a Party commences a voluntary case or other procedure seeking or proposing liquidation, reorganisation, an arrangement or composition, a freeze or moratorium, or other similar relief with respect to itself or to its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, regulatory, supervisory or similar law (including any corporate or other law with potential application to an insolvent Party), or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, conservator, administrator, custodian, examiner or other similar official (each a "Custodian") of it or any part of its assets; or takes any corporate action to authorise any of the foregoing; and, in the case of a reorganisation, arrangement or composition, the other Party does not consent to the proposals;
(iii) an involuntary case or other procedure is commenced against a Party seeking or proposing liquidation, reorganisation, an arrangement or composition, a freeze or moratorium, or other similar relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, regulatory, supervisory or similar law (including any corporate or other law with potential application to an insolvent Party) or seeking the appointment of a Custodian of it or any part of its assets and such involuntary case or other procedure either (a) has not been dismissed within five days of its institution or presentation or (b) has been dismissed within such period but solely on the grounds of an insufficiency of assets to cover the costs of such case or other procedure;
(iv) a Party dies, become of unsound mind, is unable to pay its debts as they fall due or is bankrupt or insolvent, as defined under any bankruptcy or insolvency law applicable to such Party; or indebtedness of a Party is not paid on the due date therefor or becomes, or becomes capable at any time of being declared, due and payable under agreements or instruments evidencing such indebtedness before it would otherwise have been due and payable, or proceedings are commenced for any execution, any attachment or garnishment, or any distress against, or an encumbrancer takes possession of, the whole or any part of the property, undertaking or assets (tangible and intangible) of a Party;
(v) a Party or any Credit Support Provider in relation to a Party (or any Custodian acting on behalf of a Party or any Credit Support Provider in relation to a Party) disaffirms, disclaims or repudiates any obligation under this agreement (including any Transaction governed by these terms) or any Credit Support Document;
(vi) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by a Party pursuant to this agreement or pursuant to any Credit Support Document proves to have been false or misleading in any material respect as at the time it was made or given;
Merger or Consolidation Conversion Reorganization (a) Merger or Consolidation.
(1) Pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation, the Board of Trustees may cause the Trust or any of its subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with or into one or more statutory trusts or “other business entities” (as defined in Section 3801 of the Delaware Act) formed or organized or existing under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other state of the United States or any foreign country or other foreign jurisdiction. Any such merger or consolidation shall require approval by vote of the Board of Trustees followed by approval of the Shareholders as set forth in Section 9.1.
(2) By reference to Section 3815(f) of the Delaware Act, any agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with this Section 9.3(a) may, without a separate Shareholder vote, unless required by the 1940 Act or the requirements of any stock exchange on which Shares are listed for trading, effect any amendment to the Governing Instrument or effect the adoption of a new governing instrument if the Trust is the surviving or resulting statutory trust in the merger or consolidation, which amendment or new governing instrument shall be effective at the effective time or date of the merger or consolidation.
(3) If the Trust is to be the surviving or resulting statutory trust, any one (1) Trustee shall execute, and cause to be filed, a certificate of merger or consolidation in accordance with Section 3815 of the Delaware Act.
Adjustment of Conversion Price The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation shall:
(i) subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of such shares; or
(ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of such shares; the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination or consolidation, as the case may be, shall in the case of the events referred to in (i) above, be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision or change, or shall, in the case of the events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation in each case by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such effective date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such date and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 7.1(a) shall occur;
(b) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Directors, subject to Section 7.4) of such rights, options or warrants, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price provided that
(i) any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the corporation or any subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
(ii) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed;
(iii) to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be;
(c) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class, whether of the Corporation or any other corporation (including stock dividends), (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 7.1(b)); (iii) evidences of its indebtedness or (iv) assets (including cash) of the Corporation, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Directors, subject to Section 7.4 of such shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price provided that:
(i) Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
(ii) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed;
(iii) to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be;
(d) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 7.1(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, the Holder shall, upon the exercise of the Conversion Right, be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of shares then sought to be acquired by it, the number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired by it and to which it was entitled to acquire upon the exercise of the Conversion Right and a contemporaneous and equal adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price;
(e) in any case in which Section 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) require that an adjustment be made to the Conversion Price, no such adjustment shall be made if, subject to the prior approval of applicable stock exchanges the Holder receives the rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 7.1(b) or the share rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets referred to in Section 7.1(c), as the case may be, in such kind and number as it would have received if it had been a holder of Common Shares on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be, by virtue of the Principal Sum having then been converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable record or effective date, as the case may be;
(f) the adjustments provided for in this Section 7.1 are cumulative, and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Conversion Price be computed to the nearest whole cent and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 7.1.
(g) if, in the opinion of the Directors, the provisions of this Section 7.1 are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Holder in accordance with the intent and purposes hereof, the Directors shall make any adjustment in such provisions for the benefit of the Holder as the Directors deem appropriate.
Adjustment for Consolidation, Merger or Other Reorganization Event In the event of
(1) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or another corporation),
(2) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,
(3) any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition), or
(4) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company other than as a result of or after the occurrence of a Termination Event (any such event, a "Reorganization Event"), each share of Common Stock covered by each Purchase Contract forming a part of a Unit immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, after such Reorganization Event, be converted for purposes of the Purchase Contract into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event (without any interest thereon, and without any right to dividends or distribution thereon which have a record date that is prior to the Stock Purchase Date) per share of Common Stock by a holder of Common Stock that (i) is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a "Constituent Person"), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by Affiliates of the Company and non-Affiliates, and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("Non-electing Share"), then for the purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event by each Non-electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). On the Stock Purchase Date, the Settlement Rate then in effect will be applied to the value on the Stock Purchase Date of such securities, cash or other property. In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such consolidation, merger or exchange or the Person which acquires the assets of the Company or, in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company or a liquidating trust created in connection therewith, shall execute and deliver to the Agent an agreement supplemental hereto providing that the Holder of each Outstanding Unit shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.6. Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental agreement, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.
