Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Double Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced that it has established the close of business on Monday, August 28, 2017, as the record date in respect of an extraordinary general meeting to be held in connection with a proposed extension of the date by which the Company must (i) consummate an initial business combination with one or more entities, or (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination and redeem all of its ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 16, 2015 (the “IPO”), from September 16, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (the “Extension”).

 

At the extraordinary general meeting, the Company’s shareholders will be asked to vote upon certain proposals relating to the Extension. The Company filed on August 23, 2017 a preliminary proxy statement (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to such proposals. The full meeting agenda will be detailed in the definitive proxy statement which will be mailed to the Company’s shareholders when available (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”).

 

As previously announced, on August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement relating to the acquisition of Williams Scotsman International, Inc. (the “Business Combination”). The Company is requesting its shareholders to approve the Extension in order for it to have sufficient time to complete the Business Combination, which the Company’s board of directors believes to be in the best interest of its shareholders.

 

The date of the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders will be specified in the Definitive Proxy Statement, and will be no later than September 15, 2017.
