On February
10, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved an extension of the date by which the Company has to complete a business combination
for an aggregate of six months, to be implemented and funded by the Company in 30-day increments. The full six-month extension
allows the Company until August 11, 2017 to complete a business combination. The Company’s extension through August 11, 2017
is the last of the six possible 30-day extensions that were approved by stockholders.
The Company is holding a special
meeting of stockholders on August 9, 2017 (the “Special Meeting”) for the purpose of voting on a new proposal to extend
the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from August 11, 2017 to December 31, 2017. On May 12, 2017,
the Company entered into a merger agreement with Oomba, Inc., a specialized social media and software development company. The
Company is holding the Special Meeting in order to provide Oomba additional time to complete an audit of its financial statements
so that the parties may precede with closing the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The Special Meeting is being
held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time at the offices of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York,
New York 10036. A copy of the proxy statement for the Special Meeting may be obtained free of charge from the Company’s proxy
