Notable Quotes 2
We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete a business combination with which a substantial majority of our stockholders do not agree.
The exercise price for the public warrants is higher than in many similar blank check company offerings in the past, and, accordingly, the warrants are more likely to expire worthless.
Red Flags 4
- Potential for management to lose control of the target business.
- Possibility of completing a business combination even if a substantial majority of stockholders disagree.
- Warrants are more likely to expire worthless due to higher exercise price.
- Potential for charter amendments that may not be supported by all stockholders.
