BGS ACQUISITION CORP.
Olazabal 1150
Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires
Argentina 1428

DEAR BGS ACQUISITION CORP. SHAREHOLDERS:

You are cordially invited to attend a meeting of shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”) of BGS Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “BGS Corp.”) to be held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on September 13, 2013 at 1540 Broadway, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10036. The purpose of this Shareholder Meeting is to consider and vote upon certain proposals that will enable us to continue to pursue our proposed business combination with TransnetYX Holding Corp. (“TransnetYX”) as summarized below. The proposals, as described in further detail below, will enable us to extend our termination date in order to consummate a business combination with TransnetYX. At the Shareholder Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

(1)  
  The Extension Amendment — to approve an extension to the current termination date contemplated within BGS Corp.’s memorandum and articles of association (“Charter”) to November 26, 2013 by way of making an amendment to the Charter, a form of which is attached hereto as Annex A, which in effect would extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its initial business combination from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013 by providing that any shareholder voting in favor of an extension of the current termination date to November 26, 2013 would agree to defer its entitlement to any distribution or redemption on the current termination date until November 26, 2013 and that the liquidation of BGS Corp. would similarly be delayed, shareholders who do not vote for the amendment would retain their current right of automatic redemption even if the amendment is adopted (the “Extension Amendment”);

(2)  
  The IMTA Amendment — to consider and vote upon an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “IMTA”), by and between BGS Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into at the time of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) governing the funds held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) to (i) permit the withdrawal and distribution of an amount not to exceed $30,599,997 (the “Withdrawal Amount”) from the Trust Account to those persons holding ordinary shares (the “shares” or “ordinary shares”) comprising part of the units sold in our IPO (the “Public Shares”) who wish to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and continue to be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Trust Account on the current termination date of September 26, 2013; and (ii) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account in accordance with the IMTA to November 26, 2013 (the “IMTA Amendment”), a form of such IMTA Amendment is attached hereto as Annex B; and

(3)  
  such other procedural matters as may properly come before the Shareholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy materials.

Our Board of Directors has determined that only BGS Corp. shareholders who held BGS ordinary shares as of August 15, 2013, being the record date for the Shareholder Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Shareholder Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Shareholder Meeting, please complete, sign and date your proxy card in the pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Shareholder Meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. If you do not submit your proxy or vote in person at the Shareholder Meeting or, if you hold your shares through a broker or bank, if you do not instruct your broker how to vote your shares or obtain a proxy from your broker or bank to vote in person at the Shareholder Meeting, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposals presented to the shareholders, as more fully described in these proxy materials.

Since the completion of the IPO, we have been dealing with many of the practical difficulties associated with the identification of an initial business combination target, negotiating business terms with potential targets, conducting related due diligence and obtaining the necessary audited financial statements. Commencing promptly upon completion of our IPO, we began to search for an appropriate business combination target. During the process, we relied on numerous business relationships and contacted investment bankers, private equity funds, consulting firms, and legal and accounting firms. On June 26, 2013, BGS Corp. entered into a Merger and Share



Table of Contents


Exchange Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Merger Agreement”), attached hereto as Annex C. However we cannot consummate the full business combination envisaged by the Merger Agreement by September 26, 2013. The purpose of this Shareholder Meeting is therefore to amend our Charter to allow for an extension to the current deadline.

Our Charter currently provides that if we do not consummate an initial business combination by September 26, 2013, we will be required to distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, pro rata, to holders of the Public Shares by way of redemption or otherwise and thereafter to cease operations. As explained above and further explained below, we will be unable to complete our business combination with TransnetYX by September 26, 2013. Our Board of Directors believes shareholders will benefit from our having additional time to consummate the business combination and is therefore proposing the foregoing amendments to the Charter and the IMTA.

In connection with the proposals and running concurrently with this proxy solicitation, we are offering shareholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares through an issuer tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) on Schedule TO in accordance with the tender offer rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Holders of our Public Shares will be able to redeem their shares for a pro-rata portion of our Trust Account in the event our shareholders approve the amendments to our Charter and the IMTA. Those shareholders who wish to redeem their shares in connection with the proposals should refer to our Schedule TO and other documents relating to the Tender Offer, which documents will be made publicly available and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon commencement of the Tender Offer. Holders of our shares may participate in the Tender Offer regardless of their vote for or against any of the proposals by following the instructions contained in the Tender Offer documents. Notwithstanding, consummation of the Tender Offer is conditioned on the approval of each of the proposals.

The approval of the Extension Amendment proposal will require the affirmative vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the ordinary shares of BGS Corp. voting at the meeting and the approval of IMTA Amendment proposal will require the affirmative vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding Public Shares.

The management team and the Board of Directors of BGS Corp. firmly believe that it is in the best interests of BGS Corp.’s shareholders to extend the corporate life of BGS Corp. to November 26, 2013 in the manner set out in the Extension Amendment to allow BGS Corp. sufficient time to consummate a business combination with TransnetYX and instigate the subsequent tender offer it will conduct in connection therewith (the “Second Tender Offer”).

We strongly encourage all shareholders to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment and “FOR” the IMTA Amendment. Voting “FOR” the Extension Amendment or “FOR” the IMTA Amendment will NOT preclude you from exercising your redemption rights in connection with the Tender Offer or the Second Tender Offer.

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment, and unanimously recommends that BGS Corp. shareholders vote FOR approval of each of the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment.

Enclosed are the proxy materials containing detailed information concerning the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment. Whether or not you plan to attend the Shareholder Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

Thank you for your consideration of these matters.

Sincerely,

Cesar Baez
President and Chief Executive Officer

IF YOU RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD WITHOUT AN INDICATION OF HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE, YOUR SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF EACH OF THE PROPOSALS. IF THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND THE IMTA AMENDMENT ARE NOT APPROVED AND IMPLEMENTED, THEN NEITHER WILL BE EFFECTED AND THE COMPANY WILL TERMINATE THE CONCURRENT TENDER OFFER AND WILL DISTRIBUTE THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT THEN ON DEPOSIT IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT (LESS UP TO $50,000 OF THE NET INTEREST EARNED THEREON TO PAY DISSOLUTION EXPENSES), PRO RATA, TO OUR PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS BY WAY OF REDEMPTION.

NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDER MEETING
OF BGS ACQUISITION CORP.
To be Held on September 13, 2013
PROXY MATERIALS

The meeting of shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”) of BGS Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “BGS Corp.”) to be held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on September 13, 2013 at 1540 Broadway, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10036. The purpose of this Shareholder Meeting is to consider and vote upon certain proposals that will enable us to continue to pursue our proposed business combination with TransnetYX Holding Corp (“TransnetYX” or with any entity formed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated in the business combination as described below). The proposals, as described in further detail below, will enable us to in effect extend our termination date in furtherance of consummating a business combination with TransnetYX. At the Shareholder Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

(1)  
  The Extension Amendment — to approve an extension to the current termination date contemplated within BGS Corp.’s Charter to November 26, 2013 by way of an amendment to the Charter which in effect would extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its initial business combination from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013 by providing that any shareholder voting in favor of an extension of the current termination date to November 26, 2013 would agree to defer its entitlement to any distribution or redemption on the current termination date until November 26, 2013 and that the liquidation of BGS Corp. would similarly be delayed, shareholders who do not vote for the amendment would retain their current right of automatic redemption even if the amendment is adopted (the “Extension Amendment”);

(2)  
  The IMTA Amendment — to consider and vote upon an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “IMTA”), by and between BGS Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into at the time of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) governing the funds held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) to (i) permit the withdrawal and distribution of an amount not to exceed $30,599,997 (the “Withdrawal Amount”) from the Trust Account to those persons holding ordinary shares (the “shares” or “ordinary shares”) comprising part of the units sold in our IPO (the “Public Shares”) who wish to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and continue to be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Trust Account on the current termination date of September 26, 2013; and (ii) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account in accordance with the IMTA to November 26, 2013 (the “IMTA Amendment”); and

(3)  
  such other procedural matters as may properly come before the Shareholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The form of the Extension Amendment is set out in the proposed amended and restated Charter set forth in Annex A to these proxy materials. The form of the IMTA Amendment is set forth in Annex B to these proxy materials.

The Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment are essential to the overall implementation of the board of directors’ plan to extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its initial business combination from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013. The implementation of each proposal is dependent on the approval of the other proposal and the implementation of the closing of the concurrent issuer tender offer in accordance with the tender offer rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

In connection with the proposals and running concurrently with this proxy solicitation, we are offering shareholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares through an issuer tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) on Schedule TO in accordance with the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Holders of our Public Shares will be able to redeem their shares for a pro-rata portion of our Trust Account in the event our shareholders approve the amendments to our Charter and certain other conditions are met. Those shareholders who wish to redeem their shares in connection with the proposals should refer to our Schedule TO and other documents relating to the Tender Offer, which documents will be made publicly available and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) upon commencement of the Tender Offer. Holders of our shares may participate in the Tender Offer regardless of their vote for or against any of the proposals by following the instructions contained in the Tender Offer documents. Notwithstanding, consummation of the Tender Offer is conditioned on the approval of each of the proposals.

If the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment are not approved, given that we will not be able to complete a business combination with TransnetYX by September 26, 2013, we will distribute the aggregate



Table of Contents


amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata, to our public shareholders by way of redemption and intend to cease all operations except for the purposes of any winding up of our affairs. Mr. Julio Gutierrez (the “Sponsor”) has waived his redemption rights with respect to ordinary shares of BGS Corp. purchased prior to the IPO, which are sometimes referred to as the “founder shares.” There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to BGS Corp.’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event we do not consummate an initial business combination by September 26, 2013. BGS Corp. will pay the costs of the liquidation and distribution of the Trust Account from assets remaining outside of the Trust Account and may request the trustee to release up to $50,000 of the net interest earned on the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses.

If the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment are approved at the Shareholder Meeting, BGS Corp. will amend the Charter and IMTA and, pursuant to the IMTA Amendment, (i) remove from the Trust Account and distribute an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account relating to the Public Shares tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer but not to exceed an aggregate of $30,599,997 and (ii) deliver to the holders of such tendered Public Shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the Trust Account and be available for use by BGS Corp. upon consummation of the business combination with TransnetYX on or before November 26, 2013. Holders of Public Shares who do not tender their Public Shares in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment will retain their ability to participate in the business combination with TransnetYX or exercise their redemption rights for cash in connection with the subsequent tender offer we will conduct in connection therewith (the “Second Tender Offer”).

The record date for the Shareholder Meeting is August 15, 2013. Record holders of BGS Corp. ordinary shares at the close of business on the record date are entitled to vote or have their votes cast at the Shareholder Meeting. On the record date, there were 5,333,333 outstanding ordinary shares of BGS Corp. including 4,000,000 outstanding Public Shares. The Sponsor of BGS Corp. has agreed to vote its 1,333,333 shares (representing 25% of the issued shares) in favor of the Extension Amendment proposal presented at the Shareholder Meeting. As the Sponsor’s shares are not Public Shares, the Sponsor will not be voting on the IMTA Amendment proposal. Holders of BGS Corp.’s warrants do not have voting rights as to all proposals to be presented at the Shareholder Meeting.

BGS Corp. completed its initial public offering on March 26, 2012. C&Co/PrinceRidge LLC, or PrinceRidge, acted as representative of the underwriters for the IPO. PrinceRidge and the other underwriters may provide assistance to BGS Corp. and its directors and executive officers, and may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Shareholder Meeting. Approximately $800,000 of underwriting fees relating to BGS Corp.’s IPO was deferred and will be released to the underwriters only upon BGS Corp.’s consummation of a business combination. If a business combination is not consummated and BGS Corp. is required to distribute the aggregate amount then held in the Trust Account, the underwriters will not receive any of such fees. Shareholders are advised that the underwriters have a financial interest in the successful outcome of the proxy solicitation.

These proxy materials are dated August 23, 2013 and are first being mailed to shareholders on or about that date.

The board of directors of the Company recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the proposals which are described in detail in this proxy statement.

Holders of Public Shares are urged to read the Tender Offer documents and the other relevant materials before making any investment decision with respect to the Tender Offer because they contain important information about the Tender Offer.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND THE PROPOSALS

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the meeting of BGS Corp. shareholders. The following questions and answers may not include all the information that is important to shareholders of BGS Corp. We urge BGS Corp. shareholders to read carefully the entirety of the proxy materials, the annexes and the other documents included or referred to herein.

Q:  
  What is the purpose of this document?

A:  
  Prior to BGS Corp. being able consummate the proposed business combination with TransnetYX Holding Corp. (“TransnetYX”), BGS Corp. will be required to amend its memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) and the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “IMTA”) by and between BGS Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and entered into at the time of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) governing the funds held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”). Accordingly, BGS Corp. shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon proposals to:

(1)  
  to approve an extension to the current termination date contemplated within BGS Corp.’s Charter to November 26, 2013 by way of an amendment to the Charter which in effect would extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its business combination from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013 by providing that any shareholder voting in favor of an extension of the current termination date to November 26, 2013 would agree to defer its entitlement to any distribution or redemption on the current termination date until November 26, 2013 and that the liquidation of BGS Corp. would similarly be delayed, shareholders who do not vote for the amendment would retain their current right of automatic redemption even if the amendment is adopted (the “Extension Amendment”);

(2)  
  to consider and vote upon an amendment to the IMTA, by and between BGS Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into at the time of our IPO governing the funds held in the Trust Account to (i) permit the withdrawal and distribution of an amount not to exceed $30,599,997 (the “Withdrawal Amount”) from the Trust Account to those persons holding ordinary shares (the “shares” or “ordinary shares”) comprising part of the units sold in our IPO (the “Public Shares”) who wish to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and continue to be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Trust Account on the current termination date of September 26, 2013; and (ii) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account in accordance with the IMTA to November 26, 2013 (the “IMTA Amendment”); and

(3)  
  such other procedural matters as may properly come before the Shareholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Table of Contents

The form of the Extension Amendment is set out in the proposed amended and restated Charter set forth in Annex A to these proxy materials. The form of the IMTA Amendment is set forth in Annex B to these proxy materials. The proposed Extension Amendment and IMTA Amendment may be referred to collectively as the “Amendment Proposals.”

The Board of Directors of BGS Corp. (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on August 15, 2013 as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Shareholder Meeting described herein and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of BGS Corp. ordinary shares on the record date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Shareholder Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The purpose of the Amendment Proposals is to allow BGS Corp. more time to complete its proposed business combination with TransnetYX.

BGS Corp.’s Charter currently provides that if BGS Corp. does not consummate a business combination by September 26, 2013, BGS Corp. will cease all operations and commence winding up, as described below. As explained below, BGS Corp. will be unable to complete the proposed business combination with TransnetYX by such date if the Extension Amendment proposal is not approved. The Board believes that the shareholders will benefit from BGS Corp.’s business combination with TransnetYX and is therefore proposing an amendment to BGS Corp.’s Charter and the IMTA to, in effect, extend such date to November 26, 2013.

In the event that the Extension Amendment proposal is not approved, BGS Corp. will be unable to consummate its business combination with TransnetYX by September 26, 2013, and will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to its public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of its affairs. Any redemption of public shareholders from the Trust Account shall be effected automatically by function of the Charter prior to any voluntary winding up. If BGS Corp. is required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to its public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004. In that case, shareholders may be forced to wait beyond September 26, 2013 before the redemption proceeds of the Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our Trust Account.

These proxy materials contain important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Shareholder Meeting. You should read it carefully.

Q:  
  What is being voted on by BGS Corp. shareholders?

A:  
  Below are proposals on which the shareholders are being asked to vote:

•  
  the Extension Amendment proposal; and

•  
  the IMTA Amendment proposal.

In the event that the Extension Amendment proposal does not receive approval from the holders of at least 65% of the BGS Corp. ordinary shares voting at the meeting, and the IMTA Amendment proposal does not receive approval from the holders of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares, BGS Corp. will be unable to consummate its business combination with TransnetYX by September 26, 2013 and will terminate the Tender Offer. If BGS Corp. does not consummate a business combination by September 26, 2013 (or November 26, 2013 in the event that the Amendment Proposals are approved), BGS Corp. will be required to dissolve and liquidate and all BGS Corp. warrants will expire worthless.

If the proposals are approved, BGS Corp. intends to consummate its business combination with TransnetYX on or before November 26, 2013 and instigate the subsequent tender offer it will conduct in connection therewith (the “Second Tender Offer”).

Q:  
  Why is BGS Corp. proposing the Extension Amendment?

A:  
  BGS Corp. was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation or contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets

2



Table of Contents


  of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets, referred to herein as BGS Corp.’s business combination.

BGS Corp. will not be able to consummate a business combination with TransnetYX by September 26, 2013. Accordingly, BGS Corp. has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which it must consummate its business combination from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013.

The Board believes the current shareholders are not prejudiced by the proposed Extension Amendment since the automatic redemption provisions of the Charter shall remain wholly intact and still apply in respect any shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Extension Amendment, and such shareholder shall remain entitled to receive the applicable pro rata amount of the Trust Account on the original termination date of September 26, 2013 (and shareholders voting for the Extension Amendment will simply have such right deferred until November 26, 2013). The Board also believes that current shareholders are not prejudiced since all holders of Public Shares are concurrently being offered the opportunity to tender their Public Shares and receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account pursuant to the Tender Offer filed with the SEC in connection with the approval of the proposals, which will occur within the original timeframe contemplated in the IPO prospectus and the Charter.

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with TransnetYX at this time. BGS Corp. intends to consummate its business combination with TransnetYX and conduct redemptions of ordinary shares for cash pursuant to the Second Tender Offer.

Q:  
  Does the Charter permit the Extension Amendment?

A:  
  Yes. The Charter permits amendments to the Charter prior to the consummation of a business combination if passed at a meeting by the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the ordinary shares voting at the meeting. While there are restrictions on the ability to amend the Charter as it relates to the Termination Date, the current automatic redemption provisions of the Charter shall remain wholly intact and will continue to apply with respect to any shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Extension Amendment, with the consequence that any such shareholder shall continue to remain entitled to receive the applicable pro rata amount of the Trust Account on the original termination date of September 26, 2013 (and shareholders voting for the Extension Amendment will simply have such right deferred until November 26, 2013). Also, in connection with the proposals and running concurrently with this proxy solicitation, we are offering shareholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares through the Tender Offer. Holders of our Public Shares will be able to redeem their shares for a pro-rata portion of our Trust Account in the event our shareholders approve the amendments to our Charter and the IMTA. Those shareholders who wish to redeem their shares in connection with the proposals should refer to our Schedule TO and other documents relating to the Tender Offer, which documents will be made publicly available and filed with the SEC upon commencement of the Tender Offer. Notwithstanding, consummation of the Tender Offer is conditioned on the approval of each of the proposals.

Q:  
  Why should I vote for the Extension Amendment proposal?

A:  
  BGS Corp.’s Charter provides that, if BGS Corp. does not consummate a business combination on or prior to September 26, 2013, the Company will dissolve and liquidate. Since the date of the completion of the IPO, BGS Corp. has been dealing with many of the practical difficulties associated with the identification of a business combination target, negotiating business terms with potential targets, conducting related due diligence and obtaining the necessary audited financial statements. Commencing promptly upon completion of the IPO, BGS Corp. began to search for an appropriate business combination target. During the process, BGS Corp. relied on numerous business relationships and contacted investment bankers, private equity funds, consulting firms and legal and accounting firms.

As BGS Corp. believes the business combination with TransnetYX to be in the best interests of the shareholders, and because BGS Corp. will not be able to conclude the business combination with TransnetYX by September 26, 2013, BGS Corp. has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend, in the form set out in the Extension Amendment proposal, the time for closing the business combination beyond September 26, 2013 to

Table of Contents


November 26, 2013. BGS Corp. intends to consummate its business combination with TransnetYX and instigate the subsequent tender offer it will conduct in connection therewith pursuant to the Second Tender Offer.

The Board believes it is in the best interests of the shareholders to propose extending the deadline set forth in BGS Corp.’s Charter in the manner set out in the Extension Amendment proposal.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, AND THE PURPOSES OF PROPOSED NEW REGULATION 23.2A OF THE CHARTER A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED AS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF AN EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINE TO CONSUMMATE THE BUSINESS COMBINATION FROM SEPTEMBER 26, 2013 TO NOVEMBER 26, 2013.

Q:  
  How do the BGS Corp. insiders intend to vote their BGS Corp. ordinary shares?

A:  
  Julio Gutierrez (the “Sponsor”) and BGS Corp.’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any BGS Corp. ordinary shares (including any Public Shares owned by them), FOR the Extension Amendment proposal and, to the extent that they hold Public Shares, FOR the IMTA Amendment proposal. On the record date, directors and executive officers of BGS Corp. and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 1,333,333 BGS Corp. ordinary shares, representing approximately 25% of the issued and outstanding BGS Corp. ordinary shares, in the vote on the Extension Amendment.

Q:  
  What vote is required to approve the proposals at the Shareholder Meeting?

A:  
  The approval of the Extension Amendment proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at 65% of the ordinary shares of BGS Corp. voting at the Shareholder Meeting. The approval of the IMTA Amendment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares. See the section entitled “Meeting of BGS Corp. Shareholders” for additional information.

Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal. A broker non-vote will not be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. A broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposals and the IMTA Amendment proposal.

Q:  
  What if I don’t want to vote for the Extension Amendment proposal or the IMTA Amendment proposal?

A:  
  If you do not want the Extension Amendment proposal or the IMTA Amendment proposal to be approved, you must abstain, not vote or vote against it. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal are approved, you will still be able to tender your Public Shares in connection with the Tender Offer irrespective of how you voted.

Q:  
  Will you seek any further extensions of the deadline for consummation of a business combination?

A:  
  No. The Board recognizes that BGS Corp.’s Charter provides that, if BGS Corp. does not consummate a business combination at or prior to September 26, 2013 (or November 26, 2013 in the event that the Extension Amendment proposal is approved), BGS Corp. will take steps to dissolve itself by way of a liquidation. As a consequence, BGS Corp. will only ask you once to extend the period during which a business combination may be completed.

Q:  
  If the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal are approved, what happens next?

A:  
  BGS Corp. is continuing its efforts to complete the proposed Business Combination with TransnetYX. BGS Corp. intends to consummate its Business Combination and instigate the subsequent tender offer it will conduct in connection therewith pursuant to the Second Tender Offer as soon as possible. This timetable is independent of the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal

  (although BGS Corp. will not be able to complete all of these tasks prior to September 26, 2013 and so will be unable to consummate the business combination with TransnetYX unless the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal are approved).

You are not being asked to vote on the proposed business combination with TransnetYX at this time. BGS Corp. intends to consummate its initial business combination with TransnetYX and instigate the subsequent tender offer it will conduct in connection therewith pursuant to the Second Tender Offer.

Q:  
  Would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights in the event the Business Combination with TransnetYX is ultimately consummated?

A:  
  You will be able to exercise your redemption rights if you continue to hold your ordinary shares until the consummation of the Business Combination, elect to tender your ordinary shares pursuant to the Second Tender Offer, and then tender your BGS Corp. ordinary shares in the Second Tender Offer.

Q:  
  What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote for the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal?

A:  
  Abstaining or failing to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal. A broker non-vote will not be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. A broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal.

Q:  
  Can I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal and still exercise my redemption rights?

A:  
  Yes. You may exercise your redemption rights pursuant to the Tender Offer regardless of how you vote or if you abstain from voting.

Q:  
  What will happen if the Extension Amendment proposal isn’t approved?

A:  
  In the event that the Extension Amendment proposal is not approved, BGS Corp. will terminate the Tender Offer and, as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than five business days thereafter, distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to its public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of its affairs. Any redemption of Public Shares from the Trust Account shall be effected automatically by function of the Charter prior to any voluntary winding up. If BGS Corp. is required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to its public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond September 26, 2013 before the redemption proceeds of the Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our Trust Account.

Q:  
  How do I vote?

A:  
  If you were a holder of record of BGS Corp. ordinary shares on August 15, 2013, the record date for the Shareholder Meeting, you may vote with respect to the applicable proposals in person at the Shareholder Meeting or by submitting a proxy by mail prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern on September 13, 2013, in accordance with the instructions provided to you under “Meeting of BGS Corp. Shareholders”. If you hold your ordinary shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker or bank or other nominee may provide voting instructions (including any telephone or Internet voting instructions). Access to telephone and Internet voting will continue until 11:59 p.m. Eastern on September 12, 2013, the day before the Shareholder Meeting, after which time a street name holder must contact his bank, broker or nominee to vote or change his vote.

Table of Contents

You should contact your broker, bank or nominee in advance to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own will be properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your ordinary shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Shareholder Meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:  
  What will happen if I sign and submit my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:  
  Executed and dated proxies received by BGS Corp. without an indication of how the shareholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each proposal presented to the shareholders.

Q:  
  If I am not going to attend the Shareholder Meeting in person, should I submit my proxy card instead?

A:  
  Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Shareholder Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in the proxy materials, please submit the executed stockholder proxy card by mail or follow the voting instructions (including any telephone or Internet voting instructions) provided by your broker or bank if your ordinary shares are held in “street name”, in each case in accordance with the instructions provided under “Meeting of BGS Corp. Shareholders”, so your shares may be represented at the Shareholder Meeting.

Q:  
  If my ordinary shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:  
  No. Under the Nasdaq Market Place rules, 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. BGS Corp. believes the Extension Amendment proposals and the IMTA Amendment proposal will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your ordinary shares without your instruction. A broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your bank, broker or other nominee may submit a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your ordinary shares; this indication that a bank, broker or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote”. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your ordinary shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your ordinary shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:  
  May I change my vote after I have submitted my executed proxy card?

A:  
  Yes. You may change your vote by submitting a later-dated, executed proxy card by mail or following the voting instructions (including any telephone or Internet voting instructions) provided by your broker or bank if your ordinary shares are held in “street name”, in each case in accordance with the instructions provided under “Meeting of BGS Corp. Shareholders” prior to the Shareholder Meeting or attending the Shareholder Meeting in person and voting. Street name holders of BGS Corp. ordinary shares with access to telephone and Internet voting may change their vote until 11:59 p.m. Eastern on September 12, 2013, the day before the Shareholder Meeting, after which time a street name holder must contact his bank, broker or nominee to change his vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Morrow & Co., LLC, 470 West Avenue, 3rd Floor, Stamford, CT 06902; telephone: (800) 662-5200 or, for banks and brokerage firms: (203) 658-9400; Email: bgsc.info@morrowco.com, which must be received by BGS Corp. prior to the Shareholder Meeting.

Q:  
  What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:  
  You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of the proxy materials and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your ordinary shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage

  account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your ordinary shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please submit each proxy card, and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your ordinary shares.

Q:  
  How can I obtain additional copies of the proxy materials?

BGS has retained Morrow & Co., LLC, for an initial fee of $7,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses, to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the shareholder meeting. Solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, email and other electronic means, advertisements and personal solicitations by the directors, officers and employees of BGS. No additional compensation will be paid to BGS Corp.’s directors, officers or employees for their solicitation efforts.

Q:  
  Who can answer my questions?

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

BGS Corp. makes forward-looking statements in the proxy materials and in the documents that are incorporated by reference. These forward-looking statements relate to outlooks or expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses or other future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations, or the impact of legal or regulatory matters on business, results of operations or financial condition. When used in the proxy materials, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential” and “should,” as they relate to us are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. All statements by us regarding our possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives and similar matters are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available to BGS Corp. as of the date of the proxy materials and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing BGS Corp.’s views as of any subsequent date and BGS Corp. undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

•  
  the risk that shares of an amount in aggregate exceeding $30,599,997 will be validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Tender Offer which would then cause us to withdraw the Tender Offer;

•  
  the risk that shareholders do not approve the Charter Extension proposal, which would then cause us to withdraw the Tender Offer;

•  
  the risk that governmental and regulatory review of the Tender Offer documents may result in the inability of BGS Corp. to close the Tender Offer by September 26, 2013;

•  
  the ability of BGS Corp. to effect the Extension Amendment or consummate a business combination;

•  
  the risk that a condition to consummation of the Extension Amendment may not be satisfied or waived;

•  
  the ability to meet the Nasdaq Capital Markets listing standards, including having the requisite number of shareholders;

•  
  potential changes in the legislative and regulatory environments; and

•  
  potential volatility in the market price of the ordinary shares.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. BGS Corp., undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the proxy materials, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

You should carefully consider these risks, in addition to the risks factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” and other information in our Offer to Purchase filed as part of the Schedule TO filed with the SEC and in our other filings with the SEC, including the final prospectus related to our IPO dated March 20, 2012 (Registration No. 333-178780) and our Annual Report on Form 20-F (File No. 001-35457) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. The documents we file with the SEC, including those referred to above, also discuss some of the risks that could cause actual results to differ from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements. The SEC maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information that we file with or furnish electronically with the SEC, including the Schedule TO. You may also request a copy of the Schedule TO and related exhibits, at no cost, by writing or calling the Information Agent for the Tender Offer as noted elsewhere herein.

BGS Corp. is furnishing the proxy materials to its shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by its board of directors for use at BGS Corp.’s Shareholder Meeting to be held on September 13, 2013, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The proxy materials are first being furnished to BGS Corp. shareholders on or about August 23, 2013. The proxy materials provide you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the Shareholder Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Shareholder Meeting will be held on September 13, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at 1540 Broadway, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10036, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

Purpose of the BGS Corp. Shareholder Meeting

At the Shareholder Meeting, BGS Corp. will ask holders of its ordinary shares to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

(1)  
  The Extension Amendment — to approve an extension to the current termination date contemplated within BGS Corp.’s Charter to November 26, 2013 by way of an amendment to the Charter which in effect would extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its initial business combination from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013 by providing that any shareholder voting in favor of an extension of the current termination date to November 26, 2013 would agree to defer its entitlement to any distribution or redemption on the current termination date until November 26, 2013 and that the liquidation of BGS Corp. would similarly be delayed, shareholders who do not vote for the amendment would retain their current right of automatic redemption even if the amendment is adopted (the “Extension Amendment”);

(2)  
  The IMTA Amendment — to consider and vote upon an amendment to the IMTA, by and between BGS Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into at the time of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) governing the funds held in the Trust Account to (i) permit the withdrawal and distribution of an amount not to exceed $30,599,997 (the “Withdrawal Amount”) from the Trust Account to those persons holding ordinary shares comprising part of the units sold in our IPO who wish to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and continue to be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Trust Account on the current termination date of September 26, 2013; and (ii) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account in accordance with the IMTA to November 26, 2013 (the “IMTA Amendment”); and

(3)  
  Such other procedural matters as may properly come before the Shareholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The form of the Extension Amendment is set out in the proposed amended and restated Charter set forth in Annex A to these proxy materials. The form of the IMTA Amendment is set forth in Annex B to these proxy materials.

Recommendation of BGS Corp.’s Board of Directors

After careful consideration of each of the proposals, BGS Corp.’s Board has unanimously determined that each of the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal is fair to, and in the best interests of, BGS Corp. and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that BGS Corp.’s shareholders vote FOR the Extension Amendment and FOR the IMTA Amendment.

Table of Contents

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

BGS Corp. has fixed the close of business on August 15, 2013 as the record date for determining BGS Corp. shareholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Shareholder Meeting. As of the close of business on August 21, 2013 there were 5,333,333 shares of BGS Corp.’s ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote, of which 4,000,000 are Public Shares. Each of BGS Corp.’s ordinary shares is entitled to one vote per share at the Shareholder Meeting.

Quorum and Vote Required for Proposals

A quorum of BGS Corp.’s shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Shareholder Meeting if not less than fifty percent (50%) of the ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Shareholder Meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are discussed further below, will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Extension Amendment proposal requires the affirmative vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the ordinary shares of BGS Corp. voting at the meeting. The approval of the IMTA Amendment proposal requires the affirmative vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding Public Shares.

As of the record date for the Shareholder Meeting, our Sponsor held approximately 25% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of BGS Corp. Our Sponsor has indicated it will vote its ordinary shares in favor of the Extension Amendment proposal presented at the Shareholder Meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

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. BGS Corp. believes the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your bank, broker or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a bank, broker or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal. Broker non-votes are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each ordinary share of BGS Corp. that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on the applicable proposals. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of ordinary shares of BGS Corp. you hold. There are two ways to vote your ordinary shares:

•  
  You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your ordinary shares will be voted, as recommended by BGS Corp.’s board “FOR” the Extension Amendment proposal and “FOR” the IMTA Amendment proposal.

•  
  You can attend the Shareholder Meeting and vote in person. You will be given a ballot when you arrive. However, if your ordinary shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way BGS Corp. can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your ordinary shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the Shareholder Meeting or at such meeting by doing any one of the following:

•  
  you may send another proxy card with a later date;

•  
  you may notify the Company, in writing before the Shareholder Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•  
  you may attend the Shareholder Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

No Additional Matters Will Be Presented at the Shareholder Meeting

The Shareholder Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares of BGS Corp., you should contact Morrow & Co., LLC, 470 West Avenue, 3rd Floor, Stamford, CT 06902; telephone: (800) 662-5200 or, for banks and brokerage firms: (203) 658-9400; Email: bgsc.info@morrowco.com.

Redemption Rights/Tender Offer

In connection with the proposals and running concurrently with this proxy solicitation, we are offering shareholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares through the Tender Offer. Holders of our Public Shares will be able to redeem their shares for a pro-rata portion of our Trust Account in the event our shareholders approve the amendments to our Charter and the IMTA and no more than shares of an amount in aggregate not to exceed $30,599,997 are validly tendered. Those shareholders who wish to redeem their shares in connection with the proposals should refer to our Schedule TO and other documents relating to the Tender Offer, which documents will be made publicly available and filed with the SEC upon commencement of the Tender Offer. Holders of our shares may participate in the Tender Offer regardless of their vote for or against any of the proposals by following the instructions contained in the Tender Offer documents. Notwithstanding, consummation of the Tender Offer is conditioned on the approval of each of the proposals.

For a shareholder to make a valid tender of ordinary shares pursuant to the Tender Offer, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company must receive, at its address as set forth in the Tender Offer documents, and prior to the expiration date of the Tender Offer, the certificates for the ordinary shares the shareholder wishes to tender, or confirmation of receipt of the ordinary shares pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described in the offer to purchase, together with a validly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or an agent’s message (as described in the offer to purchase) in the case of a book-entry transfer, and any other required documents. If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds such shareholders ordinary shares, the shareholder must contact his or her broker or nominee to tender the shares.

Shareholders are urged to review the Tender Offer materials, including the offer to purchase and letter of transmittal, and other related documents that BGS Corp. will send to its shareholders upon commencement of the Tender Offer as such materials contain important information about the Tender Offer.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

BGS Corp. expects to solicit proxies primarily by mail. BGS has retained Morrow & Co., LLC, for an initial fee of $7,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses, to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the shareholder meeting. Solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, email and other electronic means, advertisements and personal solicitations by the directors, officers and employees of BGS. No additional compensation will be paid to BGS Corp.’s directors, officers or employees for their solicitation efforts.

11



Table of Contents

BGS Corp. will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. BGS Corp. will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

BGS Corp. and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies. The underwriters of BGS Corp.’s initial public offering may provide assistance to BGS Corp. and their respective directors and executive officers, and may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies. Approximately $800,000 of the underwriters’ fees relating to BGS Corp.’s IPO were deferred pending the consummation of BGS Corp.’s business combination, and shareholders are advised that the underwriters have a financial interest in the successful outcome of this proxy solicitation.

Vote of BGS Corp.’s Sponsor

As of August 15, 2013, the record date for the Shareholder Meeting, our Sponsor beneficially owned and was entitled to vote 1,333,333 ordinary shares, which collectively constitute 25% of BGS Corp.’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Our Sponsor has indicated it will vote its BGS Corp. ordinary shares in favor of the Extension Amendment proposal at the Shareholder Meeting. Our Sponsor does not own any Public Shares and therefore will not be entitled to vote on the IMTA Amendment. The BGS Corp.’s Sponsor has waived any rights to tender its shares pursuant to the Tender Offer, including with respect to ordinary shares purchased in the IPO or in the aftermarket. The founder shares have no redemption or liquidation rights and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by BGS Corp. However, the Sponsor is entitled to participate in liquidation distributions with respect to any ordinary shares purchased in the IPO or in the aftermarket in the event BGS Corp. fails to consummate a business combination by September 26, 2013 (or November 26, 2013 if the Extension Amendment proposal and the IMTA Amendment proposal are approved).

BACKGROUND

Overview

BGS Corp. is a blank check company incorporated as a British Virgin Islands business company with limited liability on August 9, 2011 and formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses or assets.

The mailing address of BGS Corp.’s principal executive office is Olazabal 1150, Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina 1428.

Business Combination Activity

Since the completion of its IPO, BGS Corp. has been dealing with many of the practical difficulties associated with the identification of an initial business combination target, negotiating business terms with potential targets and conducting related due diligence. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO on March 26, 2012 commenced consideration of potential target companies with the objective of consummating an initial business combination. During the process, it relied on numerous business relationships and contacted investment bankers, private equity funds, consulting firms, and legal and accounting firms. As a result of these efforts, BGS Corp. identified and reviewed information with respect to many possible target companies. However, primarily as a result of the difficult and deteriorating economic climate since its IPO, BGS Corp. has been dealing with significant challenges to identify a suitable target business to present to its shareholders.

You are not being asked to vote on an initial business combination at this time.

THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

BGS Corp. is seeking an extension to the current termination date contemplated within BGS Corp.’s Charter to November 26, 2013 by way of an amendment to the Charter which in effect would extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its business combination with TransnetYX from September 26, 2013 to November 26,

Table of Contents


2013 by providing that any shareholder voting in favor of an extension of the current termination date to November 26, 2013 would agree to defer its entitlement to any distribution or redemption on the current termination date until November 26, 2013 and that the liquidation of BGS Corp. would similarly be delayed. Shareholders who do not vote for the amendment would retain their current right of automatic redemption on September 26, 2013 even if the amendment is adopted.

The Extension Amendment is essential to the overall implementation of the Board’s plan to extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its business combination to November 26, 2013. The implementation of such proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the IMTA Amendment proposal and, therefore, BGS Corp.’s Board of Directors will abandon the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment and not implement any of them unless each proposal is approved by the shareholders at the Shareholder Meeting and shares of an amount in aggregate not to exceed $30,599,997 are tendered in the Tender Offer. Given BGS Corp.’s expenditure of time, effort and money on several possible business combinations, circumstances warrant providing those who believe they might find the proposed business combination to be an attractive investment, the opportunity to approve such business combination.

You are not being asked to vote on an initial business combination at this time. If you are a holder of Public Shares of BGS Corp., you will have the specific right to participate in the proposed business combination and BGS Corp. expects to present the business combination for your consideration shortly.

A copy of the proposed amended and restated Charter is attached to the proxy materials as Annex A.

Purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal

Since the completion of its IPO, BGS Corp. has been dealing with many of the practical difficulties associated with the identification of a business combination target, negotiating business terms with potential targets and conducting related due diligence. Commencing promptly upon completion of its IPO, BGS Corp. began to search for an appropriate business combination target. During the process, it relied on numerous business relationships and contacted investment bankers, private equity funds, consulting firms, and legal and accounting firms. As a result of these efforts, BGS Corp. identified and reviewed information with respect to many possible target companies. Primarily as a result of the difficult and deteriorating economic climate since its IPO, BGS Corp. has been dealing with significant challenges to identify a suitable target business to present to its shareholders.

As BGS Corp. will be unable to consummate its business combination with TransnetYX by September 26, 2013, BGS Corp. has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which BGS Corp. must consummate its business combination with TransnetYX from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013 by amending its Charter to provide that any shareholder voting in favor of the amendment would agree to defer its entitlement to any distribution or redemption on the current termination date until November 26, 2013 and that the liquidation of BGS Corp. would similarly be delayed.

The Board of Directors believes the current shareholders are not prejudiced by the proposed Extension Amendment since the automatic redemption provisions of the Charter shall remain wholly intact and still apply with respect to any shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Extension Amendment, and such shareholder shall remain entitled to receive the applicable pro rata amount of the Trust Account on the original termination date of September 26, 2013 (and shareholders voting for the Extension Amendment will simply have such right deferred until November 26, 2013). The Board of Directors also believe that current shareholders are not prejudiced since all holders of Public Shares are concurrently being offered the opportunity to tender their Public Shares and receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account pursuant to the Tender Offer filed with the SEC in connection with the approval of the proposals, which will occur within the original timeframe contemplated in the IPO prospectus and the Charter.

Our Sponsor has the discretion to vote in any manner he chooses with respect to the Extension Amendment. The Board of Directors believes the Extension Amendment does not affect the substance nor timing of the redemption rights as holders of Public Shares who vote against the Extension Amendment shall continue to have the right to receive a pro rata portion of the Trust Account on the current termination date and those voting in favor would have the same right upon exercise of their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination or upon the revised termination date.

Effect of Failure of the Extension Amendment

If the Extension Amendment is not approved, BGS Corp. (i) will terminate the Tender Offer and be required to distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata, to holders of Public Shares by way of redemption and (ii) intends to cease all operations except for the purposes of any winding up of our affairs. In such case, BGS Corp. anticipates notifying the trustee of the Trust Account to begin liquidating some assets promptly after the meeting. If BGS Corp. is required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to holders of the Public Shares, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond September 26, 2013 before the redemption proceeds of our Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our Trust Account. BGS Corp.’s Sponsor has waived his rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to his founder shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to BGS Corp.’s warrants, which will expire worthless.

Effect of Approval of the Extension Amendment

Approval of the Extension Amendment is a condition to the execution of the IMTA Amendment.

If the Extension Amendment is approved and the IMTA Amendment is also approved and the Tender Offer is completed, BGS Corp. will file an amended and restated Charter with the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands in the form of Annex A hereto. BGS Corp. will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and its units, ordinary shares and warrants will remain publicly traded. BGS Corp. will then continue to work to consummate its business combination with TransnetYX prior to November 26, 2013. In connection therewith it intends to instigate the Second Tender Offer to afford remaining shareholders the right to redeem their shares in connection with their consideration of the business combination.

Upon the filing of the amended and restated Charter with the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands and the execution of the IMTA Amendment, BGS Corp. will remove the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account and deliver to those holders of Public Shares that exercised their redemption rights their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder will be retained in the Trust Account for BGS Corp.’s use in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination on or before November 26, 2013.

If you are a shareholder at the time of the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment and you purchased your shares in BGS Corp.’s IPO and have not exercised your redemption rights, you may have securities law claims against BGS Corp. for rescission (under which a successful claimant has the right to receive the total amount paid for his or her securities pursuant to an allegedly deficient prospectus, plus interest and less any income earned on the securities, in exchange for surrender of the securities) or damages (compensation for loss on an investment caused by alleged material misrepresentations or omissions in the sale of a security) on the basis of BGS Corp.’s IPO prospectus not disclosing the actions contemplated hereby.

Required Vote

Approval of the Extension Amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-five percent (65%) of the ordinary shares of BGS Corp. as of the record date voting at a meeting at which there is a quorum.

Our Sponsor has indicated it will vote its BGS Corp. ordinary shares in favor of the Extension Amendment. On the record date, the Sponsor beneficially owned and was entitled to vote 1,333,333 ordinary shares of BGS Corp. representing approximately 25% of BGS Corp.’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Recommendation

BGS CORP.’S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT BGS CORP. SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT.

THE IMTA AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

The IMTA Amendment proposal permits BGS Corp. to enter into Amendment No. 1 to the Investment Management Trust Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, as trustee, in substantially the form attached as Annex B hereto. The IMTA Amendment will (i) permit the withdrawal and distribution of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account and (ii) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account from September 26, 2013, to November 26, 2013.

In the event the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment are approved, upon the filing of the Extension Amendment, BGS Corp. will instruct the trustee to remove the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account relating to those Public Shares that have been tendered by the shareholders and deliver to the holders of such shares (assuming no more than 3,014,778 shares are validly tendered) their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, namely $10.15 per share. The trustee will leave the remainder of the funds in the Trust Account until the earlier to occur of (1) the completion of an initial business combination or (2) November 26, 2013.

Purpose of the IMTA Amendment Proposal

The IMTA provides that, unless an initial business combination is consummated, the Trust Account would liquidate on September 26, 2013. Moreover, the IMTA provides that funds may be withdrawn from the Trust Account only upon consummation of an initial business combination. In order to implement the Extension Amendment, BGS Corp. is seeking to amend the IMTA to (1) permit the withdrawal and distribution of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in accordance with the Tender Offer and (2) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account in accordance with the IMTA to November 26, 2013.

Effect of the Failure of the IMTA Amendment Proposal

If the IMTA Amendment is not approved, BGS Corp. will be unable to implement the Extension Amendment and BGS Corp. will terminate the Tender Offer and be required to distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata, to our holders of the Public Shares by way of redemption in accordance with the Charter.

Effect of the Approval of the IMTA Amendment Proposal

Approval of the IMTA Amendment is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment. Upon the filing of amended and restated Charter with the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands reflecting the Extension Amendment (but only if the Tender Offer is completed) and the execution of the IMTA Amendment, BGS Corp. will remove the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account and deliver to those holders of Public Shares that chose to redeem their shares pursuant to the Tender Offer their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder will be retained in the Trust Account for BGS Corp.’s use in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination on or before November 26, 2013.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote by holders of sixty-five percent (65%) of BGS Corp.’s issued and outstanding Public Shares is required to approve the IMTA Amendment. However, BGS Corp.’s board of directors will abandon the IMTA Amendment if the Extension Amendment is not approved or if the Tender Offer is not completed. In that case, BGS Corp. will be required by its Charter to distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata, to our public shareholders by way of redemption and BGS Corp. intends to cease all operations except for the purposes of any winding up of our affairs thereafter. As our Sponsor does not own Public Shares, he will not be entitled to vote on the IMTA Amendment.

Recommendation

BGS CORP.’S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT BGS CORP. SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE IMTA AMENDMENT.

LIQUIDATION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT

If any of the Extension Amendment proposal or the IMTA Amendment proposal are not approved or shares of an amount in aggregate exceeding $30,599,997 are tendered in the Tender Offer, BGS Corp. (i) will terminate the Tender Offer and distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less up to $50,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata, to its public shareholders by way of redemption and (ii) intends to cease all operations except for the purposes of any winding up of its affairs, as further described herein. Our liquidator, if applicable, would give notice to our creditors inviting them to submit their claims for payment, by notifying known creditors (if any) who have not submitted claims and by placing a public advertisement locally in the British Virgin Islands and in our principal place of business or in the place the liquidator is most likely to come to the attention of our creditors, and taking any other steps he considers appropriate, after which our assets would be distributed.

As soon as our affairs are fully wound-up, if we were to liquidate, the liquidator must complete his final report and accounts and will then notify the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands. However, we cannot assure you that the liquidator will not determine that he or she requires additional time to evaluate creditors’ claims (particularly if there is uncertainty over the validity or extent of the claims of any creditors). We also cannot assure you that a creditor or shareholder will not file a petition with the British Virgin Islands court which, if successful, may result in our liquidation being subject to the supervision of that court. Such events might delay distribution of some or all of our assets to our public shareholders.

BGS Corp.’s Sponsor has waived its right to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to its founder shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless. BGS Corp. will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the Trust Account and may draw up to $50,000 from the Trust Account in order to pay such costs.

INTERESTS OF BGS CORP.’S SPONSOR, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

When you consider the recommendation of BGS Corp.’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Extension Amendment and the IMTA Amendment, you should keep in mind that BGS Corp.’s Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the proposals that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

•  
  Mr. Gutierrez owns 1,333,333 founder shares which he acquired for $25,000 and which have an aggregate value of $13,466,663.30 based on the closing price of the ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market of $10.10 as of August 16, 2013 the most recent date on which there was trading of the ordinary shares prior to August 23, 2013. He has waived his right to receive distributions with respect to his shares upon BGS Corp.’s liquidation, which will occur if BGS Corp. is unable to consummate the Tender Offer by September 26, 2013. Accordingly, the founder shares will be worthless if BGS is forced to liquidate.

•  
  BGS Corp.’s initial investors and the underwriters of BGS Corp.’s IPO collectively own 3,266,667 sponsor warrants, which they acquired for $2,450,000 and which have an aggregate value of $522,666.72 based on the closing price of BGS Corp.’s warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market of $0.16 as of August 14, 2013, the most recent date on which there was trading of the warrants prior to August 23, 2013. In the event of BGS Corp.’s liquidation, the sponsor warrants will expire worthless.

•  
  As of the date of this Offer, Mr. Gutierrez has made loans to BGS Corp. in the aggregate amount of $602,369. In the event of liquidation, BGS Corp. will not be able to repay the loans to Mr. Gutierrez.

•  
  Each of BGS Corp.’s current directors and officers will be reimbursed from BGS Corp.’s funds held outside of the Trust Account for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in connection with activities on BGS Corp.’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, but only if the initial business combination is consummated. In the event shareholders approve the Extension Amendment and BGS Corp. consummates its initial business combination, all such expenses will be paid by us in full.

16



Table of Contents

•  
  If BGS liquidates in the event it is unable to consummate its initial business combination, Mr. Gutierrez may be liable to BGS Corp. in the event any claims by a vendor for services rendered or a prospective target business with which BGS Corp. has discussed entering into a business combination reduce the amounts in the Trust Account below $10.15 per share except in certain circumstances.

•  
  These interests may have influenced the BGS Corp. directors and executive officers in the negotiation of the definitive agreement with TransnetYX.

1.2
  Any Member receiving a certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its directors and officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue of the possession thereof. If a certificate for Shares is worn out or lost it may be renewed on production of the worn out certificate or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as may be required by a Resolution of Directors.

1.3
  If several Eligible Persons are registered as joint holders of any Shares, any one of such Eligible Persons may give an effectual receipt for any Distribution.

1.4
  Nothing in these Articles shall require title to any Shares or other Securities to be evidenced by a certificate if the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange permit otherwise.

1.5
  Subject to the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Board of Directors without further consultation with the holders of any Shares or Securities may resolve that any class or series of Shares or other Securities in issue or to be issued from time to time may be issued, registered or converted to uncertificated form and the practices instituted by the operator of the relevant system. No provision of these Articles will apply to any uncertificated shares or Securities to the extent that they are inconsistent with the holding of such shares or securities in uncertificated form or the transfer of title to any such shares or securities by means of a relevant system.

1.6
  Conversion of Shares held in certificated form into Shares held in uncertificated form, and vice versa, may be made in such manner as the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may think fit (subject always to the requirements of the relevant system concerned). The Company or any duly authorised transfer agent shall enter on the register of members how many Shares are held by each member in uncertificated form and certificated form and shall maintain the register of members in each case as is required by the relevant system concerned. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles, a class or series of Shares shall not be treated as two classes by virtue only of that class or series comprising both certificated shares and uncertificated shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles which applies only in respect of certificated shares or uncertificated shares.

1.7
  Nothing contained in Regulation 1.5 and 1.6 is meant to prohibit the Shares from being able to trade electronically. For the avoidance of doubt, Shares shall only be traded and transferred electronically upon consummation of the Company’s IPO.

2.2
  Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing Preferred Shares or class of Preferred Shares, any class of Preferred Shares may be issued with such preferred, deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting or otherwise as the directors may from time to time determine.

(a)
  the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares;

(b)

(a)
  the names and addresses of the persons who hold Shares;

  the number of each class and series of Shares held by each Member;

  the date on which the name of each Member was entered in the share register; and

Until the directors otherwise determine, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage form shall be the original share register.

2.8
  A Share is deemed to be issued when the name of the Member is entered in the share register.

2.9
  Subject to the provisions of the Act and the Business Combination Articles, Shares may be issued on the terms that they are redeemable, or at the option of the Company be liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the directors before or at the time of the issue of such Shares may determine. The directors may issue options, warrants or convertible securities or securities or a similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of Shares or Securities on such terms as the directors may from time to time determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors may also issue options, warrants or convertible securities in connection with the Company’s IPO.

Table of Contents

(c)
  if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one and in the event of disagreement between any of the joint owners of Shares then the vote of the joint owner whose name appears first (or earliest) in the share register in respect of the relevant Shares shall be recorded as the vote attributable to the Shares.

8.11
  A Member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

8.12
  A meeting of Members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting. If the Company has two or more classes of shares, a meeting may be quorate for some purposes and not for others. A quorum may comprise a single Member or proxy and then such person may pass a Resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person holds a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Members.

8.13
  If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting of Members, a quorum is not present, the meeting, at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall either be dissolved or stand adjourned to a business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held, at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall either be dissolved or stand further adjourned at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

  At every meeting of Members, the Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman. If the Members are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting Shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual Member or representative of a Member present shall take the chair.

8.15
  The person appointed as chairman of the meeting pursuant to Regulation 8.14 may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place. For the avoidance of doubt, a meeting can be adjourned for as many times as may be determined to be necessary by the chairman and a meeting may remain open indefinitely for as long a period as may be determined by the chairman.

8.16
  At any meeting of the Members the chairman of the meeting is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

8.17
  Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Members other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Member shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Member is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Member or the Company.

8.18
  Any Member other than an individual may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Members or of any class of Members, and the individual so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which he represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual.

The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts. Following the Company’s IPO, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Members of the Company must be effected by a meeting of the Company, such meeting to be duly convened and held in accordance with these Articles.

  The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the directors of the Company. The directors of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The directors

9



Table of Contents


  may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members.

10.2
  If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company, a director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

10.3
  If the Company is a subsidiary, but not a wholly owned subsidiary, of a holding company, and the shareholders other than the holding company agree in advance, a director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director in connection with the carrying out of the joint venture, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of a Member or some Members even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

10.4
  If the Company is carrying out a joint venture between shareholders, a director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

10.5
  Each director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the director believes to be the best interests of the Company.

10.6
  Any director which is a body corporate may appoint any individual as its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise.

10.7
  The continuing directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body.

10.8

10.9
  All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors.

  PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

11.1
  Any one director of the Company may call a meeting of the directors by sending a written notice to each other director.

11.2
  The directors of the Company or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the notice calling the meeting provides.

11.3
  A director is deemed to be present at a meeting of directors if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all directors participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

11.4
  Until the consummation of a Business Combination, a director may not appoint an alternate. Following the consummation of a Business Combination, a director may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a director, and such alternate shall be entitled to attend meetings in the absence of the director who appointed him and to vote or consent in place of the director until the appointment lapses or is terminated.

11.5
  A director shall be given not less than three days’ notice of meetings of directors, but a meeting of directors held without three days’ notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the

10



Table of Contents


  directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

11.6
  A meeting of directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or, following the consummation of a Business Combination, by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of directors, unless there are only two directors in which case the quorum is two.

11.7
  If the Company has only one director the provisions herein contained for meetings of directors do not apply and such sole director has full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members. In lieu of minutes of a meeting the sole director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

11.8
  At meetings of directors at which the Chairman of the Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. If the directors are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the oldest individual Director present (and for this purpose an alternate director shall be deemed to be the same age as the director that he represents) shall take the chair.

11.9
  An action that may be taken by the directors or a committee of directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution of a committee of directors consented to in writing by all directors or by all members of the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more directors. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the date upon which the last director has consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

12
  COMMITTEES

(f)
  to approve a plan of merger, consolidation or arrangement; or

(g)
  to make a declaration of solvency or to approve a liquidation plan.

12.3
  Regulations 12.2(b) and (c) do not prevent a committee of directors, where authorised by the Resolution of Directors appointing such committee or by a subsequent Resolution of Directors, from appointing a sub-committee and delegating powers exercisable by the committee to the sub-committee.

12.4
  The meetings and proceedings of each committee of directors consisting of 2 or more directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of the Articles regulating the proceedings of directors

13
  OFFICERS AND AGENTS

13.1
  The Company may by Resolution of Directors appoint officers of the Company at such times as may be considered necessary or expedient. Such officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Financial Officer, one or more vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers and such other officers as may from time to time be considered necessary or expedient. Any number of offices may be held by the same person.

13.2
  The officers shall perform such duties as are prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by Resolution of Directors. In the absence of any specific prescription of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board to preside at meetings of directors and Members, the Chief Executive Officer to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, the vice-presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer but otherwise to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the Chief Executive Officer, the secretaries to maintain the share register, minute books and records (other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural requirements imposed on the Company by applicable law, and the treasurer to be responsible for the financial affairs of the Company.

  The directors may, by a Resolution of Directors, appoint any person, including a person who is a director, to be an agent of the Company. An agent of the Company shall have such powers and authority of the directors, including the power and authority to affix the Seal, as are set forth in the Articles or in the Resolution of Directors appointing the agent, except that no agent has any power or authority with respect to the matters specified in Regulation 12.1. The Resolution of Directors appointing an agent may authorise the agent to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some or all of the powers conferred on the agent by the Company. The directors may remove an agent appointed by the Company and may revoke or vary a power conferred on him.

14
  CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

14.1
  A director of the Company shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to all other directors of the Company.

14.2
  For the purposes of Regulation 14.1, a disclosure to all other directors to the effect that a director is a member, director or officer of another named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction.

14.3
  Provided that the requirements of Regulation 9.13 have first been satisfied, a director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may then:

(a)
  vote on a matter relating to the transaction;

(b)
  attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and

(c)
  sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction,

12



Table of Contents

  and, subject to compliance with the Act and these Articles shall not, by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction and no such transaction shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit.

15
  INDEMNIFICATION

15.1
  Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate against all direct and indirect costs, fees and expenses of any type or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, all legal fees and costs, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, fees of private investigators and professional advisors, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, fax transmission charges, secretarial services and all other disbursements, obligations or expenses, in each case reasonably incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, settlement or appeal of, or otherwise participating in a Proceeding and against all judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred (whether by an Indemnitee, or on his behalf) in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, any person who:

(a)
  is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, key employee, adviser of the Company or who at the request of the Company; or

(b)
  is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise.

15.2
  The indemnity in Regulation 15.1 only applies if the relevant Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

15.3
  The decision of the directors as to whether an Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved.

15.4
  The termination of any Proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the relevant Indemnitee did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

15.5
  The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, purchase or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond in relation to any Indemnitee, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify him against the liability as provided in these Articles.

  Notwithstanding the provisions of Regulation 23.2, for those Members voting in favour of the Resolution of Members to extend the deadline for the Company to consummate the Business Combination to 26 November 2013 (each an “Electing Member” and 26 November 2013 being the “Extended Termination Date”), their entitlement to receive the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price shall be deferred until the Extended Termination Date and the Company shall accordingly defer the cessation of its operations until after the Extended Termination Date (to the extent that it has not consummated the Business Combination on or before such date), and such Electing Member shall be deemed to have approved the immediate filing and effect of such amendment notwithstanding Clause 11.2(a)(ii) of the Memorandum, which provision shall be deemed waived for these purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, this Regulation 23.2A shall not affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation as described in Regulation 23.2 to offer to pay the Per-Share Redemption Price on the Termination Date to those holders of Public Shares that either voted against, abstained from voting or did not vote on the Resolution of Members to extend the deadline for the Company to consummate the Business Combination to 26 November 2013 (a “Non-Electing Member”), unless such Non-Electing Member indicates prior to the Termination Date its consent in writing to be treated as an Electing Member.

23.3
  Unless a shareholder vote is required by law or the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, or, at the sole discretion of the directors, the directors determine to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company may enter into a Business Combination without submitting such Business Combination to its Members for approval.

23.4
  Although not required, in the event that a shareholder vote is held, and a majority of the votes cast at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of such Business Combination, the Company shall be authorised to consummate the Business Combination.

23.5  (a)
  In the event that a Business Combination is consummated by the Company, the Company will offer to redeem the Shares of any Member issued in the IPO other than those Shares held by Directors or Officers (the “Public Shares”) for cash in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act and subject to any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) set forth in the definitive transaction agreements related to the initial Business Combination (the “Tender Redemption Offer”). The Company will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to consummating the Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the Business Combination and the redemption rights as would be required in a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. In accordance with the Exchange Act, the Tender Redemption Offer will remain open for a minimum of 20 Business Days and the Company will not be permitted to consummate its Business Combination until the expiry of such period. If in the event a Member holding Public Shares accepts the Tender Redemption Offer and the Company has not otherwise withdrawn the tender offer, the Company shall, promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination, pay such redeeming Member, on a pro rata basis, cash equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price.

(b)
  In the event that a Business Combination is consummated by the Company in connection with a shareholder vote held pursuant to Regulation 23.4 in accordance with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (the “Redemption Offer”), the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares, regardless of whether such shares are voted for or against the Business Combination, for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price; provided, that any such redeeming Member who either individually or together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as such term is defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) shall not be permitted to redeem more than 19.9% of the total Public Shares in the event that the Company seeks public shareholder approval of the Business Combination.

(c)
  In no event will the Company consummate the Tender Redemption Offer or the Redemption Offer under Regulation 23.5(a) or (b) if such redemptions would cause the Company to have net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001.

23.6
  A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an Automatic Redemption Event, an Amendment Redemption Event or in the event he accepts a Tender Redemption Offer or a Redemption Offer where the Business Combination is consummated. In no other circumstances shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Account.

23.7
  Prior to a Business Combination, the Company will not issue any Securities (other than Public Shares) that would entitle the holder thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account; or (ii) vote on any Business Combination.

23.8
  The Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors. Although the directors do not intend to enter into a Business Combination with a Target Business that is affiliated with an Insider, it is not prohibited from doing so. In the event the Company enters into such a Business Combination, the Company will obtain the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company and an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA that such a Business Combination is fair to the members of the Company from a financial point of view.

23.9
  The Company will not effectuate a Business Combination with another “blank cheque” company or a similar company with nominal operations.

23.10
  Immediately after the Company’s IPO, the amount of net offering proceeds received by the Company in the IPO (including proceeds of any exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option and any proceeds from the sale of warrants to the Initial Investors and the underwriters of the IPO as described in the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”) at the time it goes effective shall be deposited and thereafter held in the Trust Account. Neither the Company nor any officer, director or employee of the Company will disburse any of the proceeds held in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) a Business Combination, or (ii) an Automatic Redemption Event or in payment of the acquisition price for any shares which the Company elects to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire in accordance with these Articles, in each case in accordance with the trust agreement governing the Trust Account; provided that (a) all that interest earned on the Trust Account (as described in the Registration Statement) may be released from time to time to the Company to cover working capital requirements, and (b) the Company is entitled to withdraw such amounts from the Trust Account from time to time as would be required to pay any taxes on the interest earned on the Trust Account or to purchase Public Shares pursuant to Regulation 23.11.

23.11
  If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and does not conduct redemptions in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company is permitted to release from the Trust Account amounts necessary to purchase up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Public Shares (“Open Market Purchases”) at any time commencing after the filing of a preliminary proxy statement for the Business Combination and ending on the record date of the shareholder meeting to approve the Business Combination. Purchases will be made only in open market transactions at times when the Company is not in possession of any material non-public information and may not be made during a restricted period under Regulation M of the Exchange Act. Any Public Shares so purchased will immediately be cancelled. Any purchases the Company makes will be made in cash as provided in the trust agreement governing the Trust Account.

23.12
  In the event the directors of the Company propose any amendment to Regulation 23 prior to (but not in conjunction with) the consummation of a Business Combination (an “Amendment”) and such Amendment is (i) duly approved by a Resolution of Members; and (ii) the amended Articles are filed at the Registry of Corporate Affairs (an “Approved Amendment”), the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares of any Member who voted all of its Shares against or did not consent in writing to (as relevant) the Resolution of Members approving the Approved Amendment, for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price (an

  “Amendment Redemption Event”). For the avoidance of doubt, an Amendment may not include (i) any amendment to Regulation 23.2; or (ii) any amendment that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligations as described in Regulation 23 to offer to pay the Per-Share Redemption Price to the holders of the Public Shares).

FORM OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT
FOR APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS



Table of Contents

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT

Amendment No. 1, dated as of September __, 2013 (the “Amendment”), to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2012 (the ”IMTA Agreement“), by and between BGS Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (“Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the IMTA Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company simultaneously consummated its initial public offering and the sale of its sponsor warrants in March 2012 and deposited $40,600,000 into the Trust Account;

WHEREAS, the Company sought the approval of its Public Shareholders to amend and restate the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from September 26, 2013 to November 26, 2013 (the “Extension Amendment”);

WHEREAS, the Company sought the approval of its Public Shareholders to amend the IMTA Agreement to: (i) permit the withdrawal and distribution of an amount, not to exceed an aggregate of $30,599,997 (the “Withdrawal Amount”), from the Trust Account to those persons holding Ordinary Shares comprising part of the units sold in its IPO (the “Public Shares”) who wish to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and (ii) extend the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account in accordance with the IMTA Agreement to November 26, 2013 (the “IMTA Amendment” and, together with the Extension Amendment, the “Shareholder Proposals”); and

WHEREAS, holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares issued in the Company’s initial public offering approved the IMTA Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree to amend the IMTA Agreement as set forth herein:

1.  
  Agreements and Covenants of Trustee.

1.1.  Section 1(i). Section 1(i) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety so that it now reads in full as follows:

  “(i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter (“Termination Letter”), in a form substantially similar to that attached as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, signed on behalf of the Company by an executive officer and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed by the Company; provided, however, that in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee by 11:59 P.M. New York City time on November 26, 2013 (“Termination Date”), the Trust Account shall be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B hereto and distributed to the Public Shareholders of record at the close of trading (4:00 P.M. New York City time) on the Termination Date. For the purposes of clarity, any transmission of such Termination Letter electronically, whether by facsimile, electronic mail (e-mail), PDF or otherwise, shall constitute an original of such Termination Letter hereunder.”

1.2.Section 2(c). Section 2(c) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety so that it now reads in full as follows:

“(c) The Trustee shall, upon and in accordance with the written instruction of the Company, disburse to the Public Shareholders who (i) elected to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Shareholder Proposals and redeem the Public Shares through an issuer tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) on Schedule TO in accordance with the tender offer rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (ii) delivered the Public Shares to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer, as directed by the Company in the Tender Offer documents, the amount indicated by the Company as required to pay the shareholders that have redeemed their Public Shares not to exceed the Withdrawal Amount.”

1.3.  Section 7(c). Section 7(c) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety so that it now reads in full as follows:

  “(c) This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for Sections 1(i), 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) (which may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of 65% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares provided that no such amendment will affect any Public Shareholder who has otherwise either (i) indicated his election to redeem his Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote sought to amend this Agreement or (ii) not consented to any amendment to this Agreement to extend to the time he would be entitled to a return of his pro rata amount in the Trust Account), this Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical error) by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto. As to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way relating to this Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury and the right to set-off as a defense. The Trustee may request an opinion from Company counsel as to the legality of any proposed amendment as a condition to its executing such amendment.”

1.3. Recitals. The recitals are hereby incorporated by reference.

2.  
  Miscellaneous.

2.1.  Governing Law.

The parties agree that all actions and proceedings arising out of this Amendment or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or in a New York State Court in the County of New York and that, in connection with any such action or proceeding, submit to the jurisdiction of, and venue in, such court. Each of the parties hereto also irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Except as set forth in this Amendment, provisions of the IMTA Agreement which are not inconsistent with this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect.

2.4.  Severability.

(iii)    In the event the Available Cash is Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) or more, but less than Twenty Million ($20,000,000), the Deferred Corporate Finance shall be paid as a Cash Finance Fee, one half (1/2) of the Transaction Fee shall be paid as Cash Finance Fees, and one half (1/2) of the Transaction Fee shall be paid as Stock Finance Fees.

13.2    Indemnification of the Company and the Target. Until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Signing Date, Parent and Purchaser hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law the Target, the Company and the Manager, each of their Affiliates, and each of its and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (the “Target Indemnitees”) against and in respect of any Losses incurred or sustained by any Target Indemnitee as a result of any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of Parent or Purchaser contained herein or in any of the Additional Agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate indemnification obligation of Parent and Purchaser shall not exceed the Indemnity Cap.

13.3    Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by either a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Target Indemnitee (together, “Indemnified Party”) for indemnification:

(a)    An Indemnified Party shall give the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, prompt notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party Action with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.2 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party under Section 13.1 or 13.2, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Company or the Purchaser, as applicable (any of such parties, “Indemnifying Parties”) to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability.

(b)    In the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Parties, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by the Indemnified Party (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 13.1 or 13.2 are applicable to such Action and the Indemnifying Parties will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such Action pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 or 13.2 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge, defense, limitation on the Indemnifying Parties’ liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such Indemnified Party in writing of the intention of the Indemnifying Parties to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c)    If the Indemnifying Parties assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 13.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the Indemnifying Parties and their legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the Indemnifying Parties so assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties.

(d)    If the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 13.3(b), the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the Indemnifying Parties withdraw from or fail to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. If the Indemnifying Parties do not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the

50



Table of Contents


Indemnifying Parties fail to adequately prosecute or withdraw such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e)    If the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 13.3 and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such Indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third Party Claim could be reasonably expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (such as an increase in the Indemnified Party’s income Tax) other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid pursuant to such settlement or judgment, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other Actions (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts.

13.4    Periodic Payments. Any indemnification required by Section 13.1 or 13.2 for costs, disbursements or expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Action shall be made by periodic payments by the Indemnifying Parties to each Indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses are incurred.

13.5    Right of Set Off. In the event that Purchaser is entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article XIII, Purchaser shall be entitled to set off any amounts owed to applicable Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 13.2 and/or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement against the amount of such indemnification. Any such set-off will be treated as an adjustment to the consideration given in exchange for the Target Securities.

13.6    Payment of Indemnification. In the event that Purchaser is entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article XIII and Purchaser is unable to set off such indemnification pursuant to Section 13.5, Company, the Target and Manager shall jointly and severally pay the amount of the indemnification (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 13.1). Company shall, at the option of Purchaser, pay any indemnification payment due under Section 13.1 in cash, the transfer and assignment of a number of Payment Securities then owned by them, or a combination thereof; provided that (x) any Payment Securities transferred pursuant to this sentence shall be deemed to have the same value per share of the Payment Securities as at their time of issuance, and (y) each Target Stockholder, upon transferring such Payment Securities, shall represent and warrant in writing to the Purchaser Indemnitee(s) that all such Payment Securities are free and clear of all Liens. Any payments by any Target Company, the Company or the Manager to a Purchaser Indemnitee will be treated as an adjustment to the Payment Securities.

13.7    Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third party reimbursement actually received.

13.8    Survival of Indemnification Rights. Except for the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 (Corporate Existence and Power), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.3. (Governmental Authorization), 4.5 (Capitalization), 4.6 (Organizational Documents), 4.7 (Corporate Records), 4.10 (Subsidiaries), 4.15 (Properties; Title to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ Assets), 4.20 (Compliance with Laws), 4.26 (Employment Matters), 4.28 (Benefit

The indemnification to which any Indemnified Party is entitled from the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.2 for Losses shall be effective so long as it is asserted prior to: (x) ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including all extensions and waivers thereof), in the case of the representations and warranties referred to in the first sentence of this Section 13.8 and the breach or the alleged breach of any covenant or agreement of any Indemnifying Party; and (y) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing, in the case of all other representations and warranties of the Company, the Target Companies, the Manager and the Purchaser hereunder. The obligations of the Target (but not of the Company and the Manager) in Articles VI and VII shall terminate upon the Closing.

ARTICLE XIV

(a)    This Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each party, and cannot be terminated orally or by course of conduct. No provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.

(b)    Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that party or impairs any right of the party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

(c)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy stated herein or that otherwise may be available.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, neither shall any party seek, nor shall any party be liable for, punitive or exemplary damages, under any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

16.3    Arm’s Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

16.4    Publicity. Except as required by law, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder without the prior approval of the other party hereto.

16.6    No Assignment or Delegation. No party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

16.7    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

16.8    Counterparts; facsimile signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement.

16.9    Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Additional Agreements, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No party has relied on any representation from, or warranty or agreement of, any person in entering into this Agreement, prior hereto or contemporaneous herewith or any Additional Agreement, except those expressly stated herein or therein.

16.10    Set Off. Purchaser shall have the right to set off against any amounts payable by Purchaser under this Agreement any amounts owed to Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnitee.

16.11    Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.

16.12    Construction of Certain Terms and References; Captions. In this Agreement:

(a)    References to particular sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits not otherwise specified are cross-references to sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.

(b)    The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and, unless the context requires otherwise, “party” means a party signatory hereto.

(c)    Any use of the singular or plural, or the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, includes the others, unless the context otherwise requires; “including” means “including without limitation;” “or” means “and/or;” “any” means “any one, more than one, or all;” and, unless otherwise specified, any financial or accounting term has the meaning of the term under United States generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied heretofore by the Company.

Any reference to a numbered schedule means the same-numbered section of the disclosure schedule.

(e)    If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given within a specified number of days following a specific date or event, the day of such date or event is not counted in determining the last day for such action or notice. If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given on or before a particular day which is not a Business Day, such action or notice shall be considered timely if it is taken or given on or before the next Business Day.

Table of Contents

(f)    Captions are not a part of this Agreement, but are included for convenience, only.

(g)    For the avoidance of any doubt, all references in this Agreement to “the knowledge or best knowledge of the Representing Parties” or similar terms shall be deemed to include the actual or constructive (e.g., implied by Law) knowledge of the Company, the Manager and the Key Personnel.

16.15    Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of the Parent, dated March 20, 2012 (the “Prospectus”). The Target, the Company and the Manager have read the Prospectus and understand that the Parent has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the public stockholders of the Parent and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of the Parent agreeing to enter into this Agreement with the Target, the Company and the Manager each hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agrees that it will not, and each will cause its Affiliates not to, seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Purchaser.
