to March 12, 2017 (the “
Extension Amendment
”);
|
|
•
|
the
election of Barry Rodgers as a Class A director, to serve until the 2019 annual meeting
of shareholders or until his successor is elected and qualified; and
|
|
•
|
to
direct the ratification of the selection by the Company’s audit committee of Marcum
LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for
the year ending November 30, 2016.

Shareholders
holding 36,594 public shares exercised their right to convert such public shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.
As a result, an aggregate of approximately $380,580 (or approximately $10.40 per share) was removed from the trust account to
pay such holders.
As
indicated in the Company’s proxy statement relating to the Meeting, since the Extension Amendment was approved, the Company’s
management agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan $0.10 for each public share that was not converted to be deposited in
the Company’s trust account. Accordingly, the Company’s management will contribute an aggregate of approximately $310,900
(the “
Contribution
”) to the Company to be deposited in the Company’s trust account. As a result, the
conversion amount per share in any subsequent business combination or liquidation will be approximately $10.50 per share. The
amount of the Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the lenders upon consummation of an
initial business combination. The Company will file the Amendment with the Cayman Registrar of Companies.

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
