Notable Quotes 2
If our plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
We are not registering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time.
Red Flags 3
- The company does not intend to comply with Section 280 of the DGCL, which could increase stockholder liability.
- The company may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after a business combination, potentially violating Section 211(b) of the DGCL.
