Note 1 — Organization and Plan of Business Operations

 

Harmony Merger Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 21, 2014 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. (the “SEC”). 

All activity through June 30, 2016 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering and identifying suitable candidates for a Business Combination.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering was declared effective on March 23, 2015. The Company consummated a public offering of 11,500,000 units (“Units”) on March 27, 2015 (the “Offering”), including the exercise of the over-allotment option (“Overallotment”) of 1,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000 and net proceeds of $112,605,665 after deducting $2,394,335 of transaction costs (up to an additional $4,325,000 of deferred underwriting expenses may be paid upon the completion of a business combination), which is discussed in Note 3. In addition, the Company generated gross and net proceeds of $5,585,000 from a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of units (“Private Units”) to certain of the Initial Stockholders (defined below) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., the representative of the underwriters in the Offering (“Cantor”), which is described in Note 4.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s securities are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Business Combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully.

 

Following the closing of the Offering and the Private Placement on March 27, 2015, an amount of $117,300,000 (or $10.20 per share sold to the public in the Offering included in the Units (“Public Shares”)) from the sale of the Units and Private Units is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may be invested in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and that invest solely in U.S. Treasuries or United States bonds, treasuries or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less. The $117,300,000 placed into the Trust Account may not be released until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements.

 

The Company, after signing a definitive merger agreement for a Business Combination, is required to provide stockholders who acquired Public Shares in the Offering (“Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to convert their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. In the event that stockholders owning approximately 92.06% or more of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. The actual percentages, however, will only be able to be determined once a target business is located and the Company can assess all of the assets and liabilities of the combined company upon consummation of the proposed Business Combination, subject to the requirement that the Company must have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon close of such Business Combination. As a result, the actual percentage of shares that can be converted may be significantly lower than the above estimates. The stockholders of the Company prior to the Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to vote any shares they then hold in favor of any proposed Business Combination and will waive any conversion rights with respect to these shares and the shares included in the Private Units pursuant to letter agreements executed in connection with the Offering.

 

In connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Company will seek stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Stockholders may seek to convert their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination, any Public Stockholder voting either for or against such proposed Business Combination will be entitled to demand that his Public Shares be converted into a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not released to the Company to pay its taxes). Holders of warrants sold as part of the Units will not be entitled to vote on the proposed Business Combination and will have no conversion or liquidation rights with respect to their shares of common stock underlying such warrants.

 

The Company will consummate a Business Combination only if holders of less than approximately 92.06% of the Public Shares, subject to adjustment as described above, elect to convert their shares to a pro-rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted, are voted in favor of the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to an aggregate of more than 20% of the Public Shares (but only with respect to the amount over 20% of the Public Shares). A “group” will be deemed to exist if Public Stockholders (i) file a Schedule 13D or 13G indicating the presence of a group or (ii) acknowledge to the Company that they are acting, or intend to act, as a group.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination by March 27, 2017, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of common stock and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate. If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination and is forced to redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not released to the Company to pay any of its taxes. Holders of warrants will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation. The Initial Stockholders and the holders of Private Units will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their initial shares and Private Units, including the common stock included in the Private Units.

 

If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Offering not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects that the initial per-share redemption price for common stock will be $10.20. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the Company’s common stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption price may be less than $10.20.

  

Eric S. Rosenfeld, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has agreed that he will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.20 per public share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Mr. Rosenfeld will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Furthermore, he will not be personally liable to Public Stockholders and instead will only have liability to the Company. The Company has not independently verified whether Mr. Rosenfeld has sufficient funds to satisfy his indemnity obligations and, therefore, Mr. Rosenfeld may not be able to satisfy those obligations. The Company has not asked Mr. Rosenfeld to reserve for such eventuality. Accordingly, if the Company liquidates, the per-share distribution from the trust account could be less than $10.20 due to claims or potential claims of creditors.

 

Mr. Rosenfeld has also agreed to enter into an agreement in accordance with the guidelines of Rule 10b5-1of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which he will place limit orders for an aggregate of up to $500,000 of common stock of the Company commencing on the later of (1) two business days after a Form 8-K disclosing all material information relating to an initial Business Combination, and (2) 60 days after the termination of the “restricted period” in connection with Offering under Regulation M of the Exchange Act, and ending on the record date for the shareholder meeting at which such initial Business Combination is to be approved, or earlier in certain circumstances as described in the limit order agreement, which is referred to as the buyback period. These limit orders will require Mr. Rosenfeld to purchase any shares of common stock of the Company offered for sale (and not purchased by another investor) at or below a price equal to the per-share amount held in the Trust Account as reported in such Form 8-K, until the earlier of (1) the expiration of the buyback period or (2) the date such purchases reach $500,000 in total. The Company will provide at least 20 business days between the beginning of the buyback period and the record date for the shareholder meeting for such initial Business Combination. It is intended that the purchases will satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b-18(b) under the Exchange Act to the extent possible and the concern broker’s purchase obligation will otherwise be subject to applicable law, including Regulation M under the Exchange Act, which may prohibit or limit purchases pursuant to the limit order agreement in certain circumstances. Any shares purchased by Mr. Rosenfeld pursuant to this arrangement will be voted in favor of the proposed Business Combination. Additionally, Mr. Rosenfeld has agreed not to convert any buyback shares into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account or to transfer, assign or sell any buyback shares (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same transfer restrictions) until (A) the earlier of one year after the completion of an Initial Business combination and the date on which the closing price of common stock of the Company exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the completion of an Initial Business combination with respect to 50% of the buyback shares and (B) one year after the completion of an Initial Business combination with respect to the remaining 50% of the buyback shares.

 

The Company anticipates that in order to fund its working capital requirements, the Company will need to use all of the remaining funds not held in trust, the interest earned on the funds held in the trust account, as well as enter into contingent fee arrangements with its vendors. The Company may need to enter into contingent fee arrangements with vendors or raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from initial shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the initial shareholders, officers or directors is under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, the Company. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and controlling overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company has no present revenue, and the Company’s cash and working capital as of June 30, 2016 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for the upcoming year. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
