Crescent Acquisition Corp

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

 

Organization and General

 

Crescent Acquisition Corp (formerly known as Crescent Funding Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 17, 2017. On October 30, 2018, the Company changed its name to Crescent Acquisition Corp. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from November 17, 2017 (inception) through March 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, a search for a business combination as described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company has generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

 

Sponsor and Financing

 

The Company’s sponsor is CFI Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2019. On March 12, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000 (see Note 3) and incurring offering costs of approximately $14,650,000, consisting principally of underwriter discounts of $13,750,000 (including $8,750,000 of which payment is deferred) and approximately $900,000 of other offering costs. The Company intends to finance its Initial Business Combination with proceeds from the $250,000,000 Initial Public Offering of Units and a $7,000,000 private placement (see Note 4). Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, $250,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”).

 

Trust Account

 

Funds from the Initial Public Offering have been placed in the Trust Account. The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. Treasury obligations with a maturity of one hundred eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and that invest only in direct U.S. Treasury obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering that have been properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such Public Shares if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months (by March 12, 2021) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months (by March 12, 2021) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

7


Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriters fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

 

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by applicable law or under stock exchange listing requirements. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

 

If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months (by March 12, 2021) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors will enter into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will agree to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires shares of Class A common stock in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $860,395 available to us outside the Trust Account to fund our working capital requirements, $4,203,389 of investment income held in the Trust Account available to be released to pay for franchise and income taxes and working capital of $146,491. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans.

 

Prior to the completion of our Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares (as defined below) to our Sponsor, $300,000 in note payable and $118,323 in advances from an affiliate of the Sponsor. The Company fully repaid these borrowings and advances from the Sponsor and related parties.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern, should the Company be required to liquidate after March 12, 2021.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2020. These accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 20, 2020.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) to purchase an aggregate of 19,500,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share for the periods presented.

 

The Company’s accompanying statements of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, net income per share, basic and diluted, for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account of $833,931 and $302,661, respectively, net of applicable income and franchise taxes of $269,391 and $95,552, respectively, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding of 25,000,000. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for Class F common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class F common stock outstanding for the period.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A—“Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with formation and preparation for the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the deferred underwriter fee, were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

10


 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had deferred tax assets of $86,683 and $70,106, respectively, which had a full valuation allowance recorded against it.

 

The Company’s current taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company’s general and administrative costs are generally considered to be start-up costs and are not currently deductible. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $219,391 and $45,552, respectively, primarily related to interest income earned on the Trust Account. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was 31.13% and 21.00%, respectively, which differs from the expected income tax rate due to the start-up costs which are not currently deductible.

 

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A common stock will be affected by charges against additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 24,059,987 and 24,011,445, respectively, of the 25,000,000 Public Shares were classified outside of permanent equity.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s accompanying financial statements.

 

3. Initial Public Offering

 

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 25,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,000,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering.

 

Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one half of one warrant (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of equity or equity-linked securities). No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sent the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Units that would be issued in connection with the over-allotment option would be identical to the Units issued in the Initial Public Offering. In April 2019, the Underwriters’ over-allotment option expired unexercised by the underwriters.

 

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds to the underwriters at the closing of the Initial Public Offering ($5,000,000), with an additional fee (the “Deferred Underwriting Fee”) of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds ($8,750,000) payable upon the Company’s completion of an Initial Business Combination. The Deferred Underwriting Fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Initial Business Combination.

4. Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On November 29, 2017, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares of Class F common stock (“Founder Shares”) for $25,000. In January 2018, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Founder Shares to the Company for no consideration, resulting in an aggregate of 7,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, Founder Shares shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are shares of Class F common stock which automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. Up to 937,500 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised by the underwriters within 45 days from the effective date of the registration statement, March 7, 2019. In April 2019, the Underwriters’ over-allotment option expired and as a result the Sponsor forfeited 937,500 shares of Class F common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 6,250,000 Founder Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2020.

 

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,000,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000 in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of equity or equity-linked securities). $5,000,000 of the proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account such that, at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $250,000,000 was held in the Trust Account. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months (by March 12, 2021) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors will agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination. In April 2019, the Underwriters’ over-allotment option expired and as a result the Sponsor’s agreement to purchase up to an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants also expired.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

On February 26, 2019, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Crescent Capital Group LP (“Crescent”), in its capacity as investment advisor on behalf of one or more investment funds or accounts managed by Crescent and its affiliates (such funds or accounts, the “Crescent Funds”), has committed on behalf of the Crescent Funds, to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth the Forward Purchase Agreement, including obtaining fund-level approvals by the relevant investment committee and/or other governing body of such funds, an aggregate of 5,000,000 forward purchase units (the “Forward Purchase Units”), each consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (such shares of Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-third of one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (such warrants to be issued pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the “Forward Purchase Warrants”), for $10.00 per unit, or an aggregate amount of $50,000,000, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Warrants will

12


have the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants so long as they are held by a Crescent Fund purchasing the Forward Purchase Units (such Crescent Fund, the “Crescent Fund Purchaser”) or its permitted transferees, and the Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the Forward Purchase Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. Any Forward Purchase Warrant held by a holder other than a Crescent Fund Purchaser or its permitted transferees will have the same terms as the Warrants included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering.

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated March 7, 2019. The holders of these securities will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Related Party Loans and Advances

 

On November 21, 2017, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the ‘‘Note’’). This Note was amended and restated on November 6, 2018. This Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2019 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On March 13, 2019, the Note balance of $300,000 was repaid in full.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, an affiliate of the Company paid administrative expenses for an aggregate of $502,712 and $454,757, respectively, of which $454,755 and $333,063, respectively, was repaid, for a net of $47,957 and $121,694, respectively, which is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets. These amounts are due on demand and are non-interest bearing.

 

Administrative Support Agreement

 

On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to pay $10,000 a month for office space, utilities, administrative and support services to an affiliate of the Sponsor and will terminate the agreement upon the earlier of an Initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred expenses of $30,000 and $8,064, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations, of which $30,000 and $8,064 were payable as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

5. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

 

The authorized common stock of the Company includes up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Class F common stock. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s stockholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 940,013 and 988,555, respectively, of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 24,059,987 and 24,011,445, respectively, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 6,250,000 shares of Class F common stock issued and outstanding. 

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

 

The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. 

 

The Company did not have any held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2020. The gross holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 2019 are as follows: 

 

Held-To-Maturity

 

Amortized Cost

 

 

Gross Holding

Gains

 

 

Fair Value

 

U.S Treasury Securities (Matured 3/12/2020)

 

$

253,551,083

 

 

$

6,361

 

 

$

253,557,444

 

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2— Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3— Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

As of March 31, 2020, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $254,203,389 in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of December 31, 2019, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $253,551,083 in U.S. Treasury bills and $18,376 in cash. Cash, money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills are classified as Level 1 securities.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no changes in Levels 1, 2 and 3.

 

7. Risks and Uncertainties

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a “pandemic.” A significant outbreak of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate an Initial Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete an Initial Business Combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for an Initial Business Combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an Initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate an Initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected.

 

8. Subsequent Events

 

Management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and the sale of the aggregate 7,000,000 private placement warrants which the Sponsor purchased at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000 in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”) and the forward purchase securities, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

 

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a business combination, including the forward purchase securities:

 

 

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our Initial Public Offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Founder Shares (as defined below) resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Founder Shares (as defined below);

 

may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;

 

could cause a change of control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

 

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

 

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants.

 

15


Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

 

 

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an Initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

 

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

 

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

 

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

 

our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;

 

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

 

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

 

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

 

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

 

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, we had cash of $860,395 as of March 31, 2020. We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure that our plans to raise capital or to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND KNOWN TRENDS OR FUTURE EVENTS

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our primary activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering which was consummated on March 12, 2019. Since March 12, 2019, our activities have included activities associated with our search for a business combination candidate and our costs have included the professional, insurance and other costs associated with operating a public company.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a “pandemic.” A significant outbreak of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate an Initial Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete an Initial Business Combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for an Initial Business Combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an Initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate an Initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected.

 

Included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our principal operating expenses included $36,177 and $23,530, respectively, for the professional, insurance and listing costs associated with our public reporting, $50,000 and $50,000, respectively, in franchise taxes, $12,941 and $4,149, respectively, in consulting and travel costs associated with our search for a business combination candidate and $30,000 and $8,064, respectively, in administrative fees to our Sponsor. Further, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company generated $749,420 and $302,661, respectively, of interest income on the U.S. Treasury bills in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company generated $84,511 of interest income in the money market funds, meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations, in the Trust Account. Such interest income is currently taxable and results in a provision for income taxes of $219,391 and $45,552 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, since the majority of our operating expenses are considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. The Company will periodically withdraw funds from the Trust Account to fund the payment of income and franchise taxes.

Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering in March 2019, we have not generated, and will not generate, any operating revenues until after completion of our Initial Business Combination. As discussed above, we currently generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after our Initial Public Offering and such income generates a currently payable provision for income taxes on such income since our operating expenses are considered start-up expenses and are not currently deductible. In addition to our taxes, administrative fees to our Sponsor and costs associated with our public reporting, we expect to incur increased expenses for our due diligence and other costs of identifying, documenting and closing a business combination and such costs are expected to be very significant and will vary with the stage of development of a business combination. We intend to pay our income and franchise taxes from the income of the Trust Account.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Prior to the completion of our Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the 8,625,000 shares of Class F common stock (“Founder Shares”) to our Sponsor, $300,000 in note payable and $118,323 in advances from an affiliate of the Sponsor.

 

The net proceeds from (i) the sale of the 25,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) in our Initial Public Offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $900,000 and underwriting commissions of $5,000,000 (excluding deferred underwriting fees of $8,750,000), and (ii) the sale of the Private Placement Warrants for a purchase price of $7,000,000, are approximately $251,100,000. Of this amount, $250,000,000 were placed in the Trust Account, which includes up to $8,750,000 of deferred underwriting fees. The remaining approximately $1,100,000 was available to us for working capital and is not held in the Trust Account.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting fees) to complete our Initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. Delaware franchise tax is based on our authorized shares or on our assumed par and non-par capital, whichever yields a lower result. Our annual franchise tax obligation is expected to be capped at the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation of $200,000. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had available to us $860,395 and $1,126,200, respectively, of cash held outside the Trust Account as well as certain amounts we may draw from the Trust Account to fund our taxes (as described above). We believe that such sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We will use these funds primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, pay our professional and other costs of being a public company and pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the Trust Account is not sufficient to pay our taxes. We do not expect to have any capital expenditures during 2020, except as may be incurred in connection with our Initial Business Combination.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our Initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our Initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to our Sponsor, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

 

17


Unless and until we complete an Initial Business Combination, we expect our primary liquidity requirements during the 24-month period subsequent to our Initial Public Offering to include legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; NASDAQ and other regulatory fees; office space, administrative, consulting and support services provided under an agreement with our Sponsor and other working capital needs. In addition, we expect to use a portion of the funds not being placed in our Trust Account to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

 

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business for the next 12 months from the date of this filing. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an Initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

 

In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our accompanying financial statements.

 

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A common stock will be affected by charges against additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 24,059,987 and 24,011,445, respectively, of the 25,000,000 Public Shares were classified outside of permanent equity.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The

18


Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We were incorporated in Delaware on November 17, 2017 for the purpose of effecting an Initial Business Combination. As of March 31, 2020, we had not commenced any operations or generated any revenues. All activity through March 31, 2020 relates to our formation and our Initial Public Offering and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, efforts have been directed toward locating and completing a suitable Initial Business Combination. Net proceeds of $250,000,000 from the Initial Public Offering and the private placement that closed in March 2019 were deposited into a Trust Account that invests solely in U.S. Treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of March 31, 2020, there was $254,203,389 in the Trust Account. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our incorporation. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2020.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
