PACIFIC SPECIAL ACQUISITION CORP. (NASDAQ:PAAC) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 13, 2017, Pacific Special Acquisition Corp. (the
Company) announced that it has been advised by its sponsor,
Zhengqi International Holding Limited (the Sponsor), that the
Sponsor may contribute to the Company as a loan $0.03 per month
for each public share that is not redeemed by the Companys
shareholders (the Revised Contribution) in connection with a
special meeting in lieu of the 2017 annual meeting of
shareholders (the Special Meeting) to be held by the Company on
April 19, 2017 to, among other things, extend the date by which
the Company must complete its initial business combination (the
Extension). The Revised Contribution is an increase from the
$0.025 per public share per month (the Original Contribution)
that was previously disclosed in the Companys definitive proxy
statement filed and mailed to shareholders in connection with the
Extension on or about March 31, 2017. If the Extension is
approved by the Companys shareholders and the Company takes the
full time to complete its initial business combination, the
redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business
combination or the Companys subsequent liquidation will be
approximately $10.52 per share, in comparison to the current
redemption amount of $10.40 per share (assuming no public shares
were redeemed). Other than the increase in the amount from $0.025
to $0.03 per public share, the terms of the Original Contribution
remain unchanged.
The Company also announced that it would extend the deadline for
public shareholders to exercise their redemption rights, such
that public stockholders will be required to submit their request
for redemption until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 18, 2017
(the Revised Redemption Deadline). Any public shareholders who
have previously delivered the Companys ordinary shares for
redemption and decide not to exercise their redemption rights
should contact Continental Stock Transfer Trust Company, the
Companys transfer agent, and request the return of their shares
(physically or electronically) prior to the Revised Redemption
Deadline. Any redemption requests, once made, including any
previous exercises of redemption rights, may be withdrawn at any
time until the Revised Redemption Deadline and thereafter, with
the Companys consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the
Extension at the Special Meeting.
Additional Information
The Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) a definitive proxy statement in connection
with the Extension and other matters and, on or about March 31,
2017, mailed the definitive proxy statement and other relevant
documents to the Companys shareholders as of the March 21, 2017
record date for the Special Meeting. The Companys shareholders
and other interested persons are advised to read the definitive
proxy statement and any other relevant documents (including a
supplement to the definitive proxy statement) that have been or
will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Companys
solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting because these
documents will contain important information about the Company,
the Revised Contribution, the Revised Redemption Deadline, the
Extension and related matters. Shareholders may also obtain a
