In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Business Combination has been approved by the stockholders of the Company and by the Public Stockholders holding a majority of the IPO Shares cast at the meeting relating to the Business Combination, and Public Stockholders holding less than 30% of the IPO Shares have voted against the Business Combination and given notice of exercise of their redemption rights described in paragraph 3 of Article 6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company. Pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Trust Agreement, we are providing you with [an affidavit] [a certificate] of __________, which verifies the vote of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination.
