WHEREAS, Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement sets forth the terms that govern the liquidation of the Trust Account under circumstances described therein;
WHEREAS, at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on September 20, 2019, the Companys shareholders approved (i) a proposal (the Extension Amendment Proposal) to amend the Companys amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the Articles) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the Extension) from September 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (the Extended Date) and (ii) a proposal to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the Trust Account established in connection with the Companys initial public offering in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination to the Extended Date; and
WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Company is filing the amendment to the Companys Articles with the Cayman Islands.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
1. | Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
