Organization and Plan of Business Operations

Note 1 — Organization and Plan of Business Operations

Pivotal Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 2, 2018 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).

All activity through March 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, the Company’s initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Offering”), the simultaneous sale of 6,350,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) in a private placement to Pivotal Acquisition Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), an entity affiliated with the Company’s executive officers, and the Company’s search for a target business with which to complete a Business Combination.

Liquidity

The Company has principally financed its operations from inception using proceeds from the sale of its equity securities to its stockholders prior to the Offering and such amount of proceeds from the Offering that were placed in an account outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $1,048,539 held outside of the Trust Account.
