If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, or October 10, 2020, we 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 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 us to
pay for our income 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 shareholders rights as shareholders (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 our remaining shareholders and our board of
directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of our company, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
NASDAQ Notification Letter
On
January 2, 2020, we received the Notification Letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that we no longer comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5620(a) for continued listing due to its
failure to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. NASDAQ has granted an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 29, 2020, to
regain compliance.
The Notification Letter does not impact our listing on NASDAQ at this time, and our Class A ordinary shares,
units and warrants have continued to trade on NASDAQ under the symbols ARYA, ARYAU and ARYAW, respectively.
We do not expect that the Notification Letter will affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We intend to file and
mail to its shareholders a definitive proxy statement and to hold an annual meeting prior to June 29, 2020 to regain compliance with the NASDAQ listing rules.
The Immatics Business Combination
On
March 17, 2020, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement. The Immatics Business Combination is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.
Results of Operations
All activity up to
March 31, 2020 was in preparation for our formation, the Initial Public Offering and, since the closing of our Initial Public Offering, a search for business combination candidates. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the
closing and completion of our Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had net loss of approximately
$3.3 million, which consisted of approximately $857,000 in investment income, offset by approximately $4.1 million in general and administrative costs, including approximately $3.7 million of merger expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had net income of approximately $719,000, which consisted of approximately $872,000 in
investment income, offset by approximately $153,000 in general and administrative costs.
Going Concern Consideration
At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $702,000 in our operating bank account, and working capital deficit of approximately
$3.6 million.
Our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from our Sponsor in exchange for
the issuance of the Founder Shares to the Sponsor, approximately $148,000 in note payable to related parties, and the net proceeds of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account for working capital needs. We repaid the note back to the
Sponsor in October 2018.
