                                         of units of Growth Capital Acquisition Corp. for $10.00 per unit, consisting of one share
                                         of Class&nbsp;A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. This Registration
                                         Statement also contains a prospectus relating to offer and sales of units of Growth Capital
                                         Acquisition Corp. in connection with certain market making transactions that may be effected
                                         by Maxim Group LLC in the secondary market for 30 days following the date of this prospectus.
                                         The complete prospectus relating to the initial public offering of our units (the &ldquo;IPO
                                         Prospectus&rdquo;) follows immediately after this Explanatory Note. Following the IPO
                                         Prospectus are certain pages&nbsp;of the prospectus relating solely to such market making
                                         transactions (together with the remainder of the prospectus as modified as indicated
                                         below, the &ldquo;Market Making Prospectus&rdquo;), including an alternate front and
                                         back cover page, an alternate table of contents and alternate sections entitled &ldquo;Summary&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;The

                                         Each of such alternate pages&nbsp;has been marked &ldquo;Alternate Page&nbsp;for Market
                                         Making Prospectus.&rdquo; The Market Making Prospectus will not include the information

                                         initial stockholders paid nominal purchase price for their founder share, and, accordingly,
                                         you will experience immediate and substantial dilution from the purchase of our Class&nbsp;B

                                         offering price of our units and the size of this offering is more arbitrary than the
                                         pricing of securities and size of an offering of an operating company in a particular
                                         industry. You may have less assurance, therefore, that the offering price of our units
                                         properly reflects the value of such units than you would have in a typical offering of

                                         of the IPO Prospectus are to be used in the Market Making Prospectus. A complete version

our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of our Class&nbsp;A common stock and one-half
of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class&nbsp;A common stock
at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. The underwriters have a 45-day option from the date

stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of our Class&nbsp;A common stock upon the completion

trust account described below as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including
interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number
of then outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock that were sold as part of the units in this offering, which we refer to
collectively as our public shares throughout this prospectus, subject to the limitations described herein. If we are unable to
complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, we will redeem 100% of the public
shares for cash, subject to applicable law and certain conditions as further described herein.</P>

diversified global investment bank and private wealth management firm with approximately 300 professionals. Maxim focuses on serving
the financial and strategic needs of its global emerging growth and lower-to-middle market corporate clients that are typically

<P STYLE="margin: 0pt 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">Maxim was formed in October&nbsp;of 2002 as a result of a management
led acquisition of the multi-billion-dollar market capitalization and LSE listed global financial services firm Investec PLC&rsquo;s
U.S. platform,&nbsp;Investec&nbsp;&amp; Co. As a result of this management lead acquisition and rebranding, Maxim has grown from
a regional wealth management and brokerage firm with approximately 125 employees in 2002 to a diversified global investment banking
firm with currently approximately 300 employees globally. Since inception, Maxim has had consistent profitability along with prudent
risk management, a diversified revenue base with multiple strategic growth engines and significant inherent operating leverage,

banking firm targeting the emerging growth and lower-to-middle market with a focus on sub-$1 billion enterprise value companies,
Maxim has completed over 700 financings and M&amp;A transactions, aggregating over $39 billion dollars, having acted as book runner,
co-manager or financial advisor since inception. In addition to providing capital raising services, Maxim has a large and developed
strategic advisory and M&amp;A practice having completed over 50 M&amp;A and strategic advisory transactions aggregating over
$5.0 billion dollars since 2002. Maxim&rsquo;s capital markets and institutional trading platforms service over 2,000 institutions

acquisition company (&ldquo;SPAC&rdquo;) market, having been involved as a book runner, co-manager, underwriter or selling group
member in approximately 38% of the SPAC initial public offerings that have come to market since 2002. In addition to being a leader
in SPAC initial public offerings, Maxim has also had significant merger and acquisition and advisory experience, having been involved
in numerous mergers or similar transactions representing the initial business combinations of SPACs (&ldquo;de-SPACings&rdquo;).
In addition to working with SPACs during their de-SPACing process, Maxim has also advised and raised capital for numerous de-SPACed
companies once they have transformed into operating companies following their initial business combinations.</P>

Maxim has also been involved in other complex transactions that facilitate the &ldquo;going public&rdquo; process for our corporate
clients. Maxim has significant experience in sourcing and structuring capital markets transactions that enable companies to access
the public markets. We believe that our prior experience with reverse mergers, public roll-ups, small cap IPOs, private-to-public
as well as public-to-public M&amp;A transactions will provide us with a unique skill set to effectuate and source a potential
business combination. We believe these attributes coupled with the combination of our sponsor&rsquo;s, Maxim&rsquo;s, as well
as our management team&rsquo;s capital markets and SPAC transaction expertise and a proven ability to grow businesses organically
and through acquisitions makes us uniquely qualified to pursue an initial business combination.</P>

of our management team and Maxim lay the foundation for our competitive strengths as a blank check company. Over time, our sponsor
(and its affiliates) has developed long-term relationships with a wide range of global private and public companies primarily
under $1 billion in enterprise value. We will seek to capitalize on the substantial resources and their network and relationships
will provide us with exposure to a broad selection of potential acquisition targets. However, there is no formal agreement between
us and Maxim with respect to the provision of any services to us by Maxim and its employees. Consequently, while we expect Maxim
and its employees to provide us services so that we can capitalize on the substantial resources and global infrastructure of Maxim
and leverage Maxim&rsquo;s relationships, there is no guarantee that Maxim or its employees will provide any services to us or
that we will be able to do so.</P>

we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our stockholder communications related to our initial

will be to identify, acquire and, after our initial business combination, to build a company in an industry that complements the
experience and expertise of our management team. Our acquisition selection process will leverage the network of contacts developed
by Maxim and our management team and those of their affiliates, including relationships in the financial services industry, comprising
management teams of public and private companies, investment bankers, private equity sponsors, venture capital investors, hedge
funds, alternative asset managers, family offices, advisers, attorneys and accountants that we believe should provide us with a
number of business combination opportunities. Upon completion of this offering, our management team will communicate with their
contacts, including employees of our affiliates, to set forth the type of company that we would like to target so that we can begin

to provide, or procure the provision of, various administrative (both middle office and back office) services to us. Such agreement
would be entered into at the closing of our initial business combination pursuant to negotiations with the target business. Maxim
and its affiliates have entered into administrative services agreements with many of its affiliates and we believe that the provision
of these services from Maxim and its affiliates would be advantageous to a target business and allow a target business to leverage
the resources of Maxim and its affiliates. We would expect that the administrative services would be provided&nbsp;at a cost equal
to (1)&nbsp;the direct cost that the providing party incurs in performing those services, including third-party charges incurred
in providing services, plus (2)&nbsp;a reasonable allocation of other costs determined in a consistent and fair manner so as to

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">As long as we obtain and maintain a listing
for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least
80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account)
at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors will
make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to
independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent accounting
firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able
to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if
it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty
as to the value of a target&rsquo;s assets or prospects.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We may, at our option, pursue a business
combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with Maxim and/or one or more investors in funds
or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim, which we refer to as an &ldquo;Affiliated Joint Acquisition.&rdquo; Any such
parties would co-invest only if (i)&nbsp;permitted by applicable regulatory and other legal limitations; (ii)&nbsp;we and Maxim
considered a transaction to be mutually beneficial to us as well as the affiliated entity; and (iii)&nbsp;other business reasons
exist to do so, such as the strategic merits of including such co-investors, the need for additional capital beyond the amount
held in our trust account to fund the initial business combination and/or the desire to obtain committed capital for closing the
initial business combination. An Affiliated Joint Acquisition may be effected through a co-investment with us in the target business
at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination
by issuing to such parties a class of equity or equity-linked securities. We refer to this potential future issuance, or a similar
issuance to other specified purchasers, as a &ldquo;specified future issuance&rdquo; throughout this prospectus. The amount and
other terms and conditions of any such specified future issuance would be determined at the time thereof. We are not obligated
to make any specified future issuance and may determine not to do so. This is not an offer for any specified future issuance. Pursuant
to the anti-dilution provisions of our Class&nbsp;B common stock, any such specified future issuance would result in an adjustment
to the conversion ratio such that our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees, if any, would retain their aggregate
percentage ownership at 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering
(not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units) plus all shares issued in the specified
future issuance, unless the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock agreed to waive such
adjustment with respect to the specified future issuance at the time thereof. We cannot determine at this time whether a majority
of the holders of our Class&nbsp;B common stock at the time of any such specified future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment
to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i)&nbsp;closing conditions
which are part of the agreement for our initial business combination; (ii)&nbsp;negotiation with Class&nbsp;A stockholders on structuring
an initial business combination; (iii)&nbsp;negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution
provisions of the Class&nbsp;B common stock; or (iv)&nbsp;as part of the Affiliated Joint Acquisition. If such adjustment is not
waived, the specified future issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class&nbsp;B common stock, but
would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class&nbsp;A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the specified
future issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of our common stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We anticipate structuring our initial business
combination either (i)&nbsp;in such a way so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will
own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses, or (ii)&nbsp;in such a way so that
the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet
certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders, or for other reasons, including an Affiliated Joint Acquisition
as described above. However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires
50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient
for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the &ldquo;Investment
Company Act&rdquo;. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our
stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company,
depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction
in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this
case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number
of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding
shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business
or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or
acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq&rsquo;s 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination
involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions
and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking
stockholder approval, as applicable. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we would be required
to comply with such 80% rule.</P>

    <TD><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">In April 2010, an affiliate of our sponsor purchased an aggregate
of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344 shares of our common stock
to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited 257,649 shares of our common
stock. In February 2020, we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify as a &ldquo;reorganization&rdquo;
under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares, which represented all of the
common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and we created a new Class A common
stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares.
On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company for no consideration,
and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies&nbsp;purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B Common Stock for a purchase
price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). The number of founder shares issued and outstanding was determined
based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after this offering (not including
the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units). As such, our initial stockholders will collectively
own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after this offering (assuming they do not purchase any units in this offering and
not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units). Neither our sponsor nor any of our
officers or directors have expressed an intention to purchase any units in this offering. Up to 562,500 founder shares will be
subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies on a pro rata basis depending on the extent to which the underwriters&rsquo;
over-allotment option is exercised so that our initial stockholders will maintain ownership of 20% of our common stock after this
offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units). We will effect a stock
dividend or share contribution prior to this offering should the size of the offering change, in order to maintain such ownership
percentage.</FONT></TD></TR>

at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with
us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place
that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when
insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material
non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable

However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq&rsquo;s 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking stockholder approval, as applicable.</TD></TR>

to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such
transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed
to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We do not currently anticipate that such
purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules&nbsp;under the Exchange Act or a going-private

any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Any such purchases

    this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination.
    HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business
    combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock voted, non-votes will
    have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result, in addition to our
    initial stockholders&rsquo; founder shares, we would need only 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares sold in
    this offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination (assuming all outstanding shares are voted; or
    588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted and assuming our sponsor,
    officers, directors and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after this offering) in order to have our initial
    business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised). We intend to give approximately 30 days
    (but not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days) prior written notice of any such meeting, if required, at which a vote
    shall be taken to approve our initial business combination. These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of
    our initial stockholders, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each public
    stockholder may elect to redeem its public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed
    transaction.</TD></TR>

We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming public stockholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial business combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates delivered, or shares tendered electronically, by public stockholders who elected to redeem their shares. </TD></TR>

For example, the proposed initial business combination may require: (i)&nbsp;cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii)&nbsp;cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii)&nbsp;the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. </TD></TR>

    <TD>&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a &ldquo;group&rdquo; (as defined under Section&nbsp;13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering, without our prior consent. We believe the restriction described above will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to redeem their shares as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights against an initial business combination if such holder&rsquo;s shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders&rsquo; ability to redeem to no more than 25% of the shares sold in this offering, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders&rsquo; ability to vote all of their shares (including all shares held by those stockholders that hold more than 25% of the shares sold in this offering) for or against our initial business combination.&nbsp;</TD></TR>

    they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public
    shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public shares.</TD></TR>

would need 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an initial

stockholders will own shares representing 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the completion
of this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units). Accordingly,
if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, the agreement by our initial stockholders (other than HB
Strategies) to vote in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive the
requisite stockholder approval for such initial business combination.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We may seek to enter into an initial business
combination agreement with a prospective target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
amount of cash. If too many public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able to meet such closing condition
and, as a result, would not be able to proceed with the initial business combination. Furthermore, we will only redeem our public
shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon
completion of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC&rsquo;s &ldquo;penny stock&rdquo; rules)
or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business
combination. Consequently, if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would cause our net tangible assets to be less
than $5,000,001 or such greater amount necessary to satisfy a closing condition, each as described above, we would not proceed
with such redemption and the related business combination and may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective
targets will be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into an initial business combination with us.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">At the time we enter into an agreement
for our initial business combination, we will not know how many stockholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore
will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption.
If our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the trust account to pay the purchase
price, or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, we will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the trust account
to meet such requirements, or arrange for third party financing. In addition, if a larger number of shares is submitted for redemption
than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the trust account
or arrange for third party financing. Raising additional third party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence
of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution
provision of the Class&nbsp;B common stock result in the issuance of Class&nbsp;A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon
conversion of the Class&nbsp;B common stock at the time of our business combination. The above considerations may limit our ability
to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure.</P>

of cash at closing, the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful is increased. If our initial business
combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the trust account until we liquidate the trust account.
If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your stock in the open market; however, at such time our stock
may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the trust account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss
on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with our redemption until we liquidate or you are able to
sell your stock in the open market.</P>

combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target
business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">In December&nbsp;2019, a novel strain
of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other
parts of the world, including the United&nbsp;States. On January&nbsp;30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak
of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a &ldquo;Public Health Emergency of International Concern.&rdquo; On January&nbsp;31, 2020,
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary declared a public health emergency for the United&nbsp;States to aid the U.S. healthcare
community in responding to COVID-19, and on March&nbsp;11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a
&ldquo;pandemic&rdquo;. This outbreak of COVID-19&nbsp;has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has and may continue to
adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we
may consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete a
business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19&nbsp;restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with
potential investors or the target company&rsquo;s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate
a transaction in a timely manner. In addition, countries or supranational organizations in our target markets may develop and
implement legislation that makes it more difficult or impossible for entities outside such countries or target markets to acquire
or otherwise invest in companies or businesses deemed essential or otherwise vital. The extent to which COVID-19&nbsp;impacts
our search for and ability to consummate a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain
and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19&nbsp;and the actions to
contain COVID-19&nbsp;or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19&nbsp;or other matters of global
concern continue for an extensive period of time, and result in protectionist sentiments and legislation in our target markets,
our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a
business combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent
on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by COVID-19&nbsp;and other events.</P>

redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose
of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood
of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination, or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a
target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination,
where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be
to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for

we must maintain a minimum amount in stockholders&rsquo; equity (generally $2,500,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities

states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies
if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale
of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict
the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view
blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities
of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities
and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities, including in connection with our initial

and the sale of the private placement units are intended to be used to complete an initial business combination with a target business

However, because we will have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 upon the successful completion of this offering and the
sale of the private placement units and will file a Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K, including an audited balance sheet demonstrating
this fact, we are exempt from rules&nbsp;promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule&nbsp;419.
Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this means our units
will be immediately tradable and we may have a longer period of time to consummate an initial business combination. Moreover, if
this offering were subject to Rule&nbsp;419, that rule&nbsp;would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in
the trust account to us unless and until the funds in the trust account were released to us in connection with our completion of

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Because of our limited resources and the significant competition
for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are
unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on
our redemption of our public shares, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We expect to encounter intense competition
from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment
partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many
of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or
indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess
greater technical, human and other resources or more industry knowledge than we do, and our financial resources will be relatively
limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could
potentially acquire with the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, our ability to compete
with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available financial resources.
This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore,
because we are obligated to pay cash for the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock which our public stockholders redeem in connection
with our initial business combination, target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to us for our
initial business combination. This may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per
share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless. In certain
circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation. See &ldquo;&mdash; If third
parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received
by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share&rdquo; and other risk factors below.</P>

placement units not being held in the trust account, are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 24 months, we
may be unable to complete our initial business combination, in which case our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share,
or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.</B></P>

<P STYLE="text-indent: 0.25in; margin: 0pt 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">The funds available to us outside of the trust account, together
with the loan committed by our initial stockholders for working capital, may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least
the next 24 months, assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We believe that, upon the
closing of this offering, the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate for
at least the next 24 months; however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. Of the funds available to us, we could
use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could
also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a &ldquo;no-shop&rdquo; provision (a provision in letters of intent
or merger agreements designed to keep target businesses from &ldquo;shopping&rdquo; around for transactions with other companies
on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed initial business combination, although
we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the
right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of
our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to,
a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately
$10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.
In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation. See &ldquo;&mdash;

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Of the net proceeds of this offering and
the sale of the private placement units, only approximately $875,000 will be available to us initially outside the trust account
to fund our working capital requirements. In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $780,000, we may fund
such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the
trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. The amount held in the trust account will not be impacted as a result of
such increase or decrease. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $780,000, the amount
of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount. If we are required to seek additional
capital, we would need to borrow funds from our initial stockholders, management team or other third parties to operate or may
be forced to liquidate. None of our initial stockholders, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any
obligation to advance additional funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside
the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans
(only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part) may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.
Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor,
an affiliate of our sponsor and certain other initial stockholders affiliated with us as we do not believe third parties will be
willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. If we
are unable to obtain these loans, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our
initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and
liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on our redemption
of our public shares, and our warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less
than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. See &ldquo;&mdash; If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds
held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00

we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant
negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all
of your investment.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Even if we conduct extensive due diligence
on a target business with which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may
be present inside a particular target business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount
of due diligence, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of
these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other
charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected
risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even
though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of
this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may
cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a
target business or by virtue of our obtaining debt financing to partially finance the initial business combination. Accordingly,
any securityholders who choose to remain securityholders following the initial business combination could suffer a reduction in
the value of their securities. Such securityholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able
to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary
duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation
or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the initial business combination constituted an actionable material misstatement
or omission.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Our placing of funds in the trust account
may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective
target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, such parties may not
execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the trust
account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well
as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against
our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims
to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only
enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party&rsquo;s
engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Marcum LLP, our
independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the offering, will not execute agreements with us waiving
such claims to the monies held in the trust account.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Examples of possible instances where we
may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise
or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver
or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee
that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations,
contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public
shares, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of
a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of
creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share
redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the trust account,
due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to the letter agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1 to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part, each of our sponsor and Nautilus has agreed that it will be severally liable to
us, on a pro rata basis based on the number of their founder shares, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services
rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of
(i)&nbsp;$10.00 per public share and (ii)&nbsp;the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the
liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes
payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed
a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it
apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor or Nautilus to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor
have we independently verified whether they have sufficient funds to satisfy such indemnity obligations and believe that the only
assets of our sponsor and Nautilus are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor or Nautilus
would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including,
without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.</P>

principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account may only
be invested in United States &ldquo;government securities&rdquo; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule&nbsp;2a-7 promulgated
under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement,
the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments,
and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling
businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an &ldquo;investment company&rdquo;
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. This offering is not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments
in government securities or investment securities. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest
to occur of: (i)&nbsp;the completion of our initial business combination; (ii)&nbsp;the redemption of any public shares properly
submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A)&nbsp;to modify
the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B)&nbsp;with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders&rsquo;
rights or pre-initial business combination activity; or (iii)&nbsp;absent an initial business combination within 24 months from
the closing of this offering, our return of the funds held in the trust account to our public stockholders as part of our redemption
of the public shares. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company
Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require
additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete an initial business combination
or may result in our liquidation. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive
only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants
will expire worthless.</P>

liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The
pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event
we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering may be considered a liquidating
distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section&nbsp;280 of the DGCL intended
to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party
claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and
an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders
with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder&rsquo;s pro rata share of the claim or
the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of
the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the 18th month
from the closing of this offering in the event we do not complete our initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend
to comply with the foregoing procedures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Because we will not be complying with Section&nbsp;280,
Section&nbsp;281(b)&nbsp;of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for
our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the 10 years following
our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited
to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers,
investment bankers,&nbsp;etc.) or prospective target businesses. If our plan of distribution complies with Section&nbsp;281(b)&nbsp;of
the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder&rsquo;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 cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be
potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions
received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore,
if the pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in
the event we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering is not considered
a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the
imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant
to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful
redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.</P>

after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC
a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective
within 60 business days following our initial business combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class&nbsp;A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of
the warrant agreement. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained
or incorporated by reference therein are not current or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise
of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on
a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue
any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or
qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding
the above, if our Class&nbsp;A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange
such that it satisfies the definition of a &ldquo;covered security&rdquo; under Section&nbsp;18(b)(1)&nbsp;of the Securities Act,
we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a &ldquo;cashless basis&rdquo;
in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(a)(9)&nbsp;of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file
or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable best
efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event
will we be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the
event that we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and there
is no exemption available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt
from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may
have no value and expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have
paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock included in the units. If and when the warrants
become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the
warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such
registration or qualification. We will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common
stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in this offering.
However, there may be instances in which holders of our public warrants may be unable to exercise such public warrants but holders
of our private placement warrants may be able to exercise such private placement warrants.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">There are circumstances in which the exercise
of the public warrants may be required or permitted to be made on a cashless basis. First, if a registration statement covering
the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after
the closing of our initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement,
exercise warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(a)(9)&nbsp;of the Securities Act or another exemption.
Second, if our Class&nbsp;A common stock is at any time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange
such that it satisfies the definition of a &ldquo;covered security&rdquo; under Section&nbsp;18(b)(1)&nbsp;of the Securities Act,
we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a cashless basis in accordance
with Section&nbsp;3(a)(9)&nbsp;of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain
in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Third, if we call the
public warrants for redemption, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do
so on a cashless basis. In the event of an exercise on a cashless basis, a holder would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering
the warrants for that number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x)&nbsp;the product
of the number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise
price of the warrants and the &ldquo;fair market value&rdquo; (as defined in the next sentence) by (y)&nbsp;the fair market value.
The &ldquo;fair market value&rdquo; is the average volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class&nbsp;A common
stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by
the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would
receive fewer shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.</P>

following this offering to register the resale of the units (including the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included

The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse

the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not be able to properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk
factors and we may not have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control
and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business.</P>

we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with
the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping
them become familiar with such requirements. In addition, the officers and directors of an initial business combination candidate

we believe the ability of such individuals to remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination will not

no certainty, however, that any of our key personnel will remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination.

therefore, may prove to be incorrect and such management may lack the skills, qualifications or abilities we suspected. Should
the target&rsquo;s management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company, the operations

combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with it and/or one or more investors in funds or
separate accounts managed or advised by it, which we refer to as an &ldquo;Affiliated Joint Acquisition.&rdquo; Any such parties
would co-invest only if (i)&nbsp;permitted by applicable regulatory and other legal limitations; (ii)&nbsp;we and Maxim considered
a transaction to be mutually beneficial to us as well as the affiliated entity; and (iii)&nbsp;other business reasons exist to
do so, such as the strategic merits of including such co-investors, the need for additional capital beyond the amount held in our
trust account to fund the initial business combination and/or the desire to obtain committed capital for closing the initial business
combination. An Affiliated Joint Acquisition may be effected through a co-investment with us in the target business at the time
of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination by issuing
to such parties a class of equity or equity-linked securities. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between
their interests and ours.</P>

in connection with Affiliated Joint Acquisition would trigger the anti-dilution provisions of our Class&nbsp;B common stock, which,
unless waived, would result in an adjustment to the conversion ratio of our Class&nbsp;B common stock such that our initial stockholders
and their permitted transferees, if any, would retain their aggregate percentage ownership at 20% of the sum of the total number
of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock
underlying the private placement units) plus all shares issued in the specified future issuance. If such adjustment is not waived
as described elsewhere in this prospectus, the specified future issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of
our Class&nbsp;B common stock, but would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class&nbsp;A common stock.</P>

some of the strategies of Maxim and certain of their other affiliates. Maxim and its affiliates specialize in financial services
for institutional and retail customers operating in diversified industries globally. Since we may pursue an acquisition in the
financial services or real estate services space, acquisition opportunities that may be of interest to us may come to those other
affiliates instead of us or may be pursued by those affiliates. Our affiliates are not restricted from competing with our business
and none of our affiliates are required to refer any such opportunities to us. Our sponsor and its affiliates face conflicts of
interest relating to performing services on our behalf and allocating investment opportunities to us, and such conflicts may not
be resolved in our favor, meaning we could find less suitable acquisition opportunities which could limit our ability to find a
business combination that we find attractive.</P>

purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344
shares of our common stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited
257,649 shares of our common stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify
as a &ldquo;reorganization&rdquo; under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares,
which represented all of the common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and
we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares. On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock
to the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class
B Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares
held by our initial stockholders, an aggregate of up to 562,500 are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies,
on a pro rata basis, if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The number of founder shares issued
and outstanding was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares
after this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units). The founder
shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. In addition, our initial stockholders have committed
to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 private placement units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment
option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment
option is exercised in full), that will also be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. Our sponsor, officers,
directors, and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (A)&nbsp;to vote any shares
owned by them in favor of any proposed initial business combination and (B)&nbsp;not to redeem any founder shares or private placement
shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote

50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient
for us not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. We will not consider any transaction
that does not meet such criteria. Even if the post-transaction company owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the target,
our stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post business combination
company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue
a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
capital stock of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of
a substantial number of new shares of common stock, our stockholders immediately prior to such transaction could own less than
a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock subsequent to such transaction. In addition, other minority stockholders may
subsequently combine their holdings resulting in a single person or group obtaining a larger share of the company&rsquo;s stock
than we initially acquired. Accordingly, this may make it more likely that our management will not be able to maintain our control
of the target business. We cannot provide assurance that, upon loss of control of a target business, new management will possess

combination, blank check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and modified governing
instruments, including their warrant agreements. For example, blank check companies have amended the definition of business combination,
increased redemption thresholds and extended the time to consummate an initial business combination and, with respect to their
warrants, amended their warrant agreements to require the warrants to be exchanged for cash and/or other securities. Amending our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation will require the approval of holders of 65% of our common stock, and amending
our warrant agreement will require a vote of holders of at least a majority of the public warrants. In addition, our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation requires us to provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public
shares for cash if we propose an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A)&nbsp;to modify the substance
or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24
months from the closing of this offering or (B)&nbsp;with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders&rsquo; rights
or pre-initial business combination activity. To the extent any such amendments would be deemed to fundamentally change the nature
of any securities offered through this registration statement, we would register, or seek an exemption from registration for, the
affected securities. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our charter or governing instruments or extend the time

the per share amount investors will receive upon any redemption or liquidation is substantially reduced or eliminated, may be amended
with the approval of holders of 65% of our common stock, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other blank check

permit us to withdraw funds from the trust account such that the per share amount investors will receive upon any redemption or

participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and/or trust agreement and will have the

combination target, but intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of this offering, the sale
of the private placement units. As a result, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial
business combination. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent
that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to complete our initial business combination, we would be compelled
to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate.
Further, the amount of additional financing we may be required to obtain could increase as a result of future growth capital needs
for any particular transaction, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, the obligation to repurchase
for cash a significant number of shares from stockholders who elect redemption in connection with our initial business combination
and/or the terms of negotiated transactions to purchase shares in connection with our initial business combination. In addition,
even if we do not need additional financing to complete our initial business combination, we may require such financing to fund
the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect
on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide
any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business
combination, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the
liquidation of our trust account, and our warrants will expire worthless. Furthermore, as described in the risk factor entitled
 &ldquo;If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption
amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share,&rdquo; under certain circumstances our public stockholders may

If our initial stockholders purchase any units in this offering or if our initial stockholders purchase any additional shares of
common stock in the aftermarket or in privately negotiated transactions, this would increase their control. Factors that would
be considered in making such additional purchases would include consideration of the current trading price of our Class&nbsp;A
common stock. In addition, our board of directors, whose members were elected by our initial stockholders, is and will be divided
into two classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in
each year. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the completion of our initial business
combination, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office until at least the completion of the initial business
combination. If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of our &ldquo;staggered&rdquo; board of directors, only a portion
of the board of directors will be considered for election and our initial stockholders, because of their ownership position, will
have considerable influence regarding the outcome. Accordingly, our initial stockholders will continue to exert control at least

to this dilution. Upon the closing of this offering, and assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included in the units, you
and the other public stockholders will incur an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately 90.22% (or $9.02 per share,
assuming no exercise of the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option), the difference between the pro forma net tangible book
value per share of $0.98 and the initial offering price of $10.00 per unit. In addition, because of the anti-dilution rights of
the founder shares, any equity or equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination
would be disproportionately dilutive to our Class&nbsp;A common stock. In addition, you may face additional dilution as a result
of the conversion into units of up to $1,500,000 in loans from our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers,

stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending
on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions
are met. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of

or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register
or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants

and reduce the value of the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issued to complete the initial business combination. Therefore,
our warrants, founder shares and private placement units (and underlying securities) may make it more difficult to effectuate an

you purchase a multiple of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down
to the nearest whole number of warrants. This is different from other offerings similar to ours whose units include one share of
common stock and one warrant to purchase one whole share. We have established the components of the units in this way in order
to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of an initial business combination since the warrants will be exercisable
in the aggregate for one-half of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a warrant to purchase one whole share,
thus making us, we believe, a more attractive merger partner for target businesses. Nevertheless, this unit structure may cause
our units to be worth less than if they included a warrant to purchase one whole share.</P>

the determination of our offering price is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities of an operating company in a particular

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">There is currently no market for our securities.
Stockholders therefore have no access to information about prior market history on which to base their investment decision. Following
this offering, the price of our securities may vary significantly due to one or more potential business combinations and general
market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it

a proxy statement with respect to a vote on an initial business combination meeting certain financial significance tests include
historical and/or pro forma financial statement disclosure in periodic reports. We will include the same financial statement disclosure
in connection with our tender offer documents, whether or not they are required under the tender offer rules. These financial statements
may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, or GAAP, or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or PCAOB. These financial statement requirements
may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire because some targets may be unable to provide such financial statements
in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules&nbsp;and complete our initial business combination
within the prescribed time frame.</P>

Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies,
this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other
public companies.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We are an &ldquo;emerging growth company&rdquo;
within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not
limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute
payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important.
We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier,
including if the market value of our Class&nbsp;A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June&nbsp;30
before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December&nbsp;31. We cannot
predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors
find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be
lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our
securities may be more volatile.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Further, Section&nbsp;102(b)(1)&nbsp;of
the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards
until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not
have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out
of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates
for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither
an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.</P>

it more difficult for us to effectuate our initial business combination, require substantial financial and management resources,
and increase the time and costs of completing an initial business combination.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning with our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K
for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2021. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer
will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control
over financial reporting. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with
the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. The
fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome
on us as compared to other public companies because a target company with which we seek to complete our initial business combination
may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development
of the internal control of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary
to complete any such business combination.</P>

District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in
shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder&rsquo;s ability to bring a claim in a judicial
forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may
discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with
federal securities laws and the rules&nbsp;and regulations thereunder and therefore bring a claim in another appropriate forum.
We cannot be certain that a court will decide that this provision is either applicable or enforceable, and if a court were to find
the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable
in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our
business, operating results and financial condition.</P>

will provide that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. However,
Section&nbsp;27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability
created by the Exchange Act or the rules&nbsp;and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply
to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction. In addition, Section&nbsp;22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state
courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules&nbsp;and regulations
thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created
by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction.</P>

the sale of the private placement units, $150,000,000 (or $172,500,000 if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is exercised
in full), will be placed in a trust account in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer&nbsp;&amp;
Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less
or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule&nbsp;2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in
direct U.S. government treasury obligations. We estimate that the interest earned on the trust account will be approximately $0.22
million per year, assuming an interest rate of 0.16% per year; however, we can provide no assurance regarding this amount. Except
with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, the
proceeds from this offering and the sale of the private placement units will not be released from the trust account until the earliest
to occur of: (a)&nbsp;the completion of our initial business combination, (b)&nbsp;the redemption of any public shares properly
submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A)&nbsp;to modify
the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B)&nbsp;with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders&rsquo;
rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (c)&nbsp;the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete
our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law. The net proceeds
held in the trust account may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which we ultimately complete
our initial business combination. If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of
the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination
or used for redemptions of our Class&nbsp;A common stock, we may apply the balance of the cash released from the trust account
for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment
of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other
companies or for working capital. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds privately or through loans in connection
with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements we may enter into following consummation
of this offering.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We believe that amounts not held in trust
will be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses to which such proceeds are allocated. This belief is based on the fact that while
we may begin preliminary due diligence of a target business in connection with an indication of interest, we intend to undertake
in-depth due diligence, depending on the circumstances of the relevant prospective business combination, only after we have negotiated
and signed a letter of intent or other preliminary agreement that addresses the terms of an initial business combination. However,
if our estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination is less than
the actual amount necessary to do so, we may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which
is currently unascertainable. If we are required to seek additional capital, we could seek such additional capital through loans
or additional investments from our initial stockholders, members of our management team or their affiliates, but such persons are
not under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, us.</P>

our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies have agreed to loan us up to an aggregate $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses
of this offering. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2020 or the closing
of this offering. These loans will be repaid upon the closing of this offering out of the offering proceeds not held in the trust
account.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">In addition, in order to finance transaction
costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our
officers, directors and affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete our
initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. Otherwise,
such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that our initial business combination
does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no
proceeds from our trust account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans
are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part)
may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units
would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms
of such additional loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect
to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe
third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our
trust account.</P>

initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public
warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial
business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their
affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no
current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any
such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any
material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange
Act. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules&nbsp;under
the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules&nbsp;under the Exchange Act; however, if the
purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply
with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 and Section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange Act to the
extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to
purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination. See &ldquo;Proposed
Business &mdash; Permitted purchases of our securities&rdquo; for a description of how our initial stockholders, directors, officers,
advisors or any of their affiliates will select which stockholders to purchase securities from in any private transaction.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The purpose of any such purchases of shares
could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder
approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to
have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that
such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number
of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection
with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business
combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public &ldquo;float&rdquo;
of our shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may
be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national
securities exchange.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We will only redeem our public shares so
long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion
of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC&rsquo;s &ldquo;penny stock&rdquo; rules) and the agreement
for our initial business combination may require as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of
cash. If too many public stockholders exercise their redemption rights so that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement
or any net worth or cash requirements, we would not proceed with the redemption of our public shares or the initial business combination,
and instead may search for an alternate business combination.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The difference between the public offering
price per share of Class&nbsp;A common stock, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants included in the units we are offering
pursuant to this prospectus or the private placement warrants, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Class&nbsp;A
common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Such calculation does not reflect any
dilution associated with the sale and exercise of warrants, including the private placement warrants, which would cause the actual
dilution to the public stockholders to be higher, particularly where a cashless exercise is utilized. Net tangible book value per
share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less total liabilities (including
the value of Class&nbsp;A common stock which may be redeemed for cash), by the number of outstanding shares of our Class&nbsp;A
common stock.</P>

value was $(17,957), or approximately $(0.004) per share of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of 15,000,000 shares
of Class&nbsp;A common stock included in the units we are offering by this prospectus (or 17,250,000 shares of Class&nbsp;A common
stock if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is exercised in full), the sale of the private placement units, and the
deduction of underwriting commissions and estimated expenses of this offering, our pro forma net tangible book value at June 30,
2020 would have been $5,000,001, or approximately $0.97 per share (or $0.85 per share if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment
option is exercised in full), representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value, as decreased by the value of the approximately
14,500,000 shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock that may be redeemed for cash, (or 16,750,000 shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock
if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is exercised in full) of $0.97 per share (or $0.85 per share if the underwriters&rsquo;
over-allotment option is exercised in full) to our initial stockholders as of the date of this prospectus and an immediate dilution
of $10.00 per share or 100% to our public stockholders not exercising their redemption rights. Total dilution to public stockholders
from this offering will be $9.03 per share (or $9.15 if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is exercised in full).</P>

after deducting offering expenses of approximately $780,000, underwriting commissions of $3,000,000, and (ii)&nbsp;the sale of
the private placement units for a purchase price of $4,655,000 will be $150,875,000 (or $173,375,000 if the underwriters&rsquo;

option is exercised in full) will be held in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in

we may fund such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held

than our estimate of $780,000, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding

$200,000, which is the maximum</FONT> amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware
corporation per annum, which we may pay from funds from this offering held outside of the trust account or from interest earned
on the funds held in our trust account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the
amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount
in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole
or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will
be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue
our growth strategies.</P>

connection with an intended initial business combination, our initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional
funds as may be required. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working
capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such
repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the
option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to
exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such additional loans by our initial stockholders, if any, have
not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other
than our initial stockholders as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against
any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.</P>

provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from &ldquo;shopping&rdquo; around for transactions with other companies
on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed initial business combination, although
we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity
from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a &ldquo;no-shop&rdquo; provision would be determined
based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such
funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for,
or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.</P>

additional funds following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our
estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business
combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business
prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial
business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our
initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination,
which may include a specified future issuance. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the
net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing
to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete
such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial
business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate
the trust account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain
additional financing in order to meet our obligations.</P>

we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares. On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock
to the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class
B Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares

signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying
public companies. We will qualify as an &ldquo;emerging growth company&rdquo; and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply
with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing
to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting
standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result,
our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public
company effective dates.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Additionally, we are in the process of
evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions
set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an &ldquo;emerging growth company&rdquo;, we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be
required to, among other things, (i)&nbsp;provide an independent registered public accounting firm&rsquo;s attestation report on
our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section&nbsp;404, (ii)&nbsp;provide all of the compensation
disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, (iii)&nbsp;comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement
to the report of independent registered public accounting firm providing additional information about the audit and the financial
statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv)&nbsp;disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation
between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO&rsquo;s compensation to median employee compensation.
These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of this offering or until we are no longer an &ldquo;emerging
growth company,&rdquo; whichever is earlier.</P>

past performance of Maxim (and its affiliates), Hudson Bay and our management team is not a guarantee either (i)&nbsp;of success
with respect to any business combination we may consummate or (ii)&nbsp;that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for

Bay or our management team as indicative of our future performance. In addition, our officers may have conflicts of interest with
other entities to which they owe fiduciary or contractual obligations with respect to initial business combination opportunities.
For a list of our officers and entities for which a conflict of interest may or does exist between such officers and the company,
as well as the priority and preference that such entity has with respect to performance of obligations and presentation of business
opportunities to us, please refer to the table and subsequent explanatory paragraph under &ldquo;Management &mdash; Conflicts of

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Messrs.&nbsp;Tsirigakis and Syllantavos,
our Co-Chief Executive Officers and directors, have a long-standing business relationship with Maxim, since 2005, having successfully
conducted three initial public offerings of blanc check companies and closed the related three business combinations. As a result,
they have cooperated successfully to source, evaluate and/or negotiate numerous target possibilities in the process. We intend
to leverage our strong blend of experience and know-how in our search for a target business, to the benefit of our investors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="text-indent: 0.25in; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have assembled a group of directors, including independent
directors, who will provide public company governance, executive leadership, operations oversight, private equity investment management
and capital markets experience. Our Board members have extensive experience, having served as investment bankers, directors, CEO&rsquo;s
or CFO&rsquo;s, or in other executive and advisory capacities for publicly-listed and privately-owned companies. Our directors
have experience with acquisitions, divestitures and corporate strategy and implementation, which we believe will be of significant
benefit to us as we evaluate potential acquisition or merger candidates as well as following the completion of our initial business
combination.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We believe that the current status of the
financial markets presents attractive opportunities for consolidation and a favorable timing in which to attempt to consummate
a business combination. Our executive officers and directors have an aggregate of over 100 years of experience, as investment bankers,
managers, principals or directors of major worldwide maritime companies, where they have sourced, negotiated and structured transactions
in these industries. We intend to leverage the experience of our executive officers, including their contacts and relationships,
by focusing our efforts on identifying a prospective target business. While the amount of time our executive officers will devote
in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the initial business combination and the
stage of the initial business combination process the company is in, we expect Messrs.&nbsp;Tsirigakis and Syllantavos to devote,
in the aggregate, an average of approximately 20 hours per week to our business.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Messrs.&nbsp;Tsirigakis and Syllantavos,
our co-Chief Executive Officers, have been the founders, officers and directors of three blank check companies that consummated
business combinations, Stellar Acquisition III Inc., which we refer to as Stellar, Nautilus Marine Acquisition Corp., which we
refer to as Nautilus Marine, and Star Maritime Acquisition Corp., which we refer to as Star Maritime. Stellar conducted an initial
public offering in August&nbsp;2016 having raised $69.0 million and consummated a business combination in December&nbsp;2018 and
trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market as Phunware Inc. (Nasdaq: PHUN). Nautilus Marine conducted an initial public offering in June&nbsp;2011
having raised $48.0 million, consummated a business combination in February&nbsp;2013, was taken private as Nautilus Offshore Services
Inc. in October&nbsp;2013, and in November&nbsp;2015 was acquired by DryShips,&nbsp;Inc. (Nasdaq: DRYS). Star Maritime conducted
an initial public offering in June&nbsp;2005 having raised $188.8 million, consummated a business combination in November&nbsp;2007,
and trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market as Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (Nasdaq: SBLK). Messrs.&nbsp;Tsirigakis and Syllantavos played
leading roles throughout the business combination transactions for Stellar, Nautilus Marine and Star Maritime, including identifying
suitable acquisition candidates including the ultimate targets, and the consummation of such acquisitions. During their tenures
at Stellar, Nautilus Marine and Star maritime, Messrs.&nbsp;Tsirigakis and Syllantavos sourced and evaluated an aggregate of over
120 possible acquisition targets.</P>

operating and transaction experience and relationships with companies will provide us with a substantial number of potential business
combination targets. Over the course of their careers, the members of our management team have developed a broad network of contacts
and corporate relationships in various industries. This network has grown through the activities of our management team sourcing,
acquiring and financing businesses, our management team&rsquo;s relationships with sellers, financing sources and target management
teams and the experience of our management team in executing transactions under varying economic and financial market conditions.

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Our management team has a long and extensive
working relationship with Maxim stemming back to 2005. Maxim was the lead underwriter in all three blank check company initial
public offerings that our management team completed and played an important role in the consummation of all three business combinations.
This long standing business relationship has played a key role in the formation and partnership of our management team and Maxim
for Growth Capital&rsquo;s initial public offering.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Maxim was formed in October&nbsp;of 2002 as a result of a management
led acquisition of the multi-billion-dollar market capitalization and LSE listed global financial services firm Investec PLC&rsquo;s
U.S. platform,&nbsp;Investec&nbsp;&amp; Co. As a result of this management lead acquisition and rebranding, Maxim has grown from
a regional wealth management and brokerage firm with approximately 125 employees in 2002 to a diversified global investment banking
firm with currently approximately 300 employees globally. Since inception, Maxim has had consistent profitability along with prudent
risk management, a diversified revenue base with multiple strategic growth engines and significant inherent operating leverage,
well capitalized to meet its objectives and has no debt.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">As a leading diversified global investment
banking firm targeting the emerging growth and lower-to-middle market with a focus on sub-$1 billion enterprise value companies,
Maxim has completed over 700 financings and M&amp;A transactions, aggregating over $39 billion dollars, having acted as book runner,

(&ldquo;SPAC&rdquo;) market, having been involved as a book runner, co-manager, underwriter or selling group member in approximately
38% of the SPAC initial public offerings that have come to market since 2002. In addition to being a leader in SPAC initial public
offerings, Maxim has also had significant merger and acquisition and advisory experience, having been involved in numerous mergers
or similar transactions representing the initial business combinations of SPACs (&ldquo;de-SPACings&rdquo;). In addition to working
with SPACs during their de-SPACing process, Maxim has also advised and raised capital for numerous de-SPACed companies once they
have transformed into operating companies following their initial business combinations.</P>

Maxim has also been involved in other complex transactions that facilitate the &ldquo;going public&rdquo; process for our corporate
clients. Maxim has significant experience in sourcing and structuring capital markets transactions that enable companies to access
the public markets. We believe that our prior experience with reverse mergers, public roll-ups, small cap IPOs, private-to-public
as well as public-to-public M&amp;A transactions will provide us with a unique skill set to effectuate and source a potential business
combination. We believe these attributes coupled with the combination of our sponsor&rsquo;s, Maxim&rsquo;s, as well as our management
team&rsquo;s capital markets and SPAC transaction expertise and a proven ability to grow businesses organically and through acquisitions
makes us uniquely qualified to pursue an initial business combination.</P>

of our management team and Maxim lay the foundation for our competitive strengths as a blank check company. Over time, our Sponsor
(and its affiliates) has developed long-term relationships with a wide range of global private and public companies primarily under
$1 billion in enterprise value. We will seek to capitalize on the substantial resources and their network and relationships will
provide us with exposure to a broad selection of potential acquisition targets. However, there is no formal agreement between us

at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors will
make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to
independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent accounting
firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able

combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with Maxim and/or one or more investors in funds
or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim, which we refer to as an &ldquo;Affiliated Joint Acquisition.&rdquo; Any such
parties would co-invest only if (i)&nbsp;permitted by applicable regulatory and other legal limitations; (ii)&nbsp;we and Maxim
considered a transaction to be mutually beneficial to us as well as the affiliated entity; and (iii)&nbsp;other business reasons
exist to do so, such as the strategic merits of including such co-investors, the need for additional capital beyond the amount
held in our trust account to fund the initial business combination and/or the desire to obtain committed capital for closing the
initial business combination. An Affiliated Joint Acquisition may be effected through a co-investment with us in the target business
at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination
by issuing to such parties a class of equity or equity-linked securities. We refer to this potential future issuance, or a similar
issuance to other specified purchasers, as a &ldquo;specified future issuance&rdquo; throughout this prospectus. The amount and
other terms and conditions of any such specified future issuance would be determined at the time thereof. We are not obligated
to make any specified future issuance and may determine not to do so. This is not an offer for any specified future issuance. Pursuant
to the anti-dilution provisions of our Class&nbsp;B common stock, any such specified future issuance would result in an adjustment
to the conversion ratio such that our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees, if any, would retain their aggregate
percentage ownership at 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering
(not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units) plus all shares issued in the specified
future issuance, unless the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock agreed to waive such
adjustment with respect to the specified future issuance at the time thereof. We cannot determine at this time whether a majority
of the holders of our Class&nbsp;B common stock at the time of any such specified future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment
to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i)&nbsp;closing conditions
which are part of the agreement for our initial business combination; (ii)&nbsp;negotiation with Class&nbsp;A stockholders on structuring
an initial business combination; (iii)&nbsp;negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution
provisions of the Class&nbsp;B common stock; or (iv)&nbsp;as part of the Affiliated Joint Acquisition. If such adjustment is not
waived, the specified future issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class&nbsp;B common stock, but
would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class&nbsp;A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the specified
future issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of our common stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We anticipate structuring our initial business
combination either (i)&nbsp;in such a way so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will
own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses, or (ii)&nbsp;in such a way so that
the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet
certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders, or for other reasons, including an Affiliated Joint Acquisition
as described above. However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires
50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient
for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the &ldquo;Investment
Company Act&rdquo;. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our
stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company,
depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction
in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this
case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number
of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding
shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business
or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or
acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq&rsquo;s 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination
involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions
and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking
stockholder approval, as applicable. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we would be required
to comply with such 80% rule.</P>

our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she
has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations to present the opportunity to such entity, he or she will honor his or her
fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. We believe, however, that the fiduciary duties

entities affiliated with Maxim and/or one or more investors in funds or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim or an officer

of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable
for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another
legal obligation. The determination of whether an opportunity has been expressly offered to a director of officer solely in his

and if a director or officer is unsure of whether an opportunity was offered in such capacity, he or she shall seek guidance on
such determination from the audit committee of our board of directors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We believe our structure will make us an
attractive business combination partner to target businesses. As a public company, we offer a target business an alternative to
the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other business combination with us. Following an initial business combination,
we believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that
are better aligned with stockholders&rsquo; interests than it would as a private company. A target business can further benefit
by augmenting its profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees. In a business combination
transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock in the target business
for our shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our shares of Class&nbsp;A
common stock and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Although there are various costs and obligations
associated with being a public company, we believe target businesses will find this method a more expeditious and cost effective
method to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical initial public offering process takes
a significantly longer period of time than the typical business combination transaction process, and there are significant expenses
in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and commissions, marketing and road show efforts that
may not be present to the same extent in connection with an initial business combination with us.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Furthermore, once a proposed initial business
combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always
subject to the underwriters&rsquo; ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could delay or
prevent the offering from occurring or could have negative valuation consequences. Following an initial business combination, we
believe the target business would then have greater access to capital and an additional means of providing management incentives
consistent with stockholders&rsquo; interests and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company
can offer further benefits by augmenting a company&rsquo;s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting
talented employees.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">While we believe that our structure and
our management team&rsquo;s backgrounds will make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view
our status as a blank check company, such as our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek stockholder approval of any
proposed initial business combination, negatively.</P>

expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt or leverage ratio. Because we are able to complete
our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility

and any backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of this offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners
of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing. We may seek

a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial business combination (which may

with the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional
financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would
expect to complete such financing only simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. In the case of an
initial business combination funded with assets other than the trust account assets, our proxy materials or tender offer documents
disclosing the initial business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by law, we would seek
stockholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on our ability to raise funds privately, including pursuant to
any specified future issuance, or through loans in connection with our initial business combination. At this time, we are not a

will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and investment professionals.
Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us by calls or
mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis,
since many of these sources will have read this prospectus and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and
directors, as well as our sponsor and their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates that they become
aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending
trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise
necessarily be available to us as a result of the business relationships of our officers and directors and our sponsor and their
affiliates. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize
in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may
pay a finder&rsquo;s fee, consulting fee, advisory fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm&rsquo;s length negotiation
based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder
may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with
a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of finder&rsquo;s fees is customarily
tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the trust account. In no
event, however, will our sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which our sponsor or officers
are affiliated, be paid any finder&rsquo;s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other
compensation by the company prior to, or in connection with any services rendered for any services they render in order to effectuate,
the completion of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is) other than as described herein.
Some of our officers and directors may enter into employment or consulting agreements with the post-transaction company following
our initial business combination. The presence or absence of any such fees or arrangements will not be used as a criterion in our
selection process of an initial business combination candidate.</P>

pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to
such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Our officers and directors currently have certain
relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us. We may, at our option, pursue
an Affiliated Joint Acquisition opportunity with Maxim (or its affiliates) or an entity to which Maxim (or its affiliates) or an
officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation, but such parties would co-invest only if permitted by applicable
regulatory and other legal limitations and to the extent considered appropriate. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">So long as we obtain and maintain a listing
for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least
80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account)
at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. The fair market value of
our initial business combination will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted
by the financial community, such as discounted cash flow valuation, a valuation based on trading multiples of comparable public
businesses or a valuation based on the financial metrics of M&amp;A transactions of comparable businesses. If our board of directors
is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from
an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction
of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able to make an independent determination
of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with
the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of a target&rsquo;s assets
or prospects. We do not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial business
combination. Subject to this requirement, our management will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting
one or more prospective target businesses, although we will not be permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with
another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.</P>

the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination
with that business, our assessment of the target business&rsquo; management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future
management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role
of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination
as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial
business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following
our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our
initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience
or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.</P>

stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than
20% of our outstanding common stock or seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would require stockholder
approval. If we structure an initial business combination with a target company in a manner that requires stockholder approval,
we will not have discretion as to whether to seek a stockholder vote to approve the proposed initial business combination. We may

may require: (i)&nbsp;cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii)&nbsp;cash to be transferred to the target
for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii)&nbsp;the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance
with the terms of the proposed initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required
to pay for all shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy
cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available
to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock
submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.</P>

Business Combination if we Seek Stockholder Approval</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we seek
stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business
combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public
stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert
or as a &ldquo;group&rdquo; (as defined under Section&nbsp;13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption
rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering, which we refer to as the &ldquo;Excess
Shares.&rdquo; Such restriction shall also be applicable to our affiliates. We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders
from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption
rights against a proposed initial business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a
significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder
holding more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if
such holder&rsquo;s shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other
undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders&rsquo; ability to redeem no more than 25% of the shares sold in this offering
without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block
our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with
a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would
not be restricting our stockholders&rsquo; ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial
business combination.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We may require our public stockholders
seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in &ldquo;street name,&rdquo;
to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents or proxy materials
mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination
in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository
Trust Company&rsquo;s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder&rsquo;s option. The tender offer or proxy materials,
as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate
whether we are requiring public stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a public stockholder would have
from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, or up to two business days prior
to the vote on the initial business combination if we distribute proxy materials, as applicable, to tender its shares if it wishes
to seek to exercise its redemption rights. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for stockholders to use
electronic delivery of their public shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">There is a nominal cost associated with
the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The
transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost
on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise
redemption rights to tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless
of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The foregoing is different from the procedures
used by many blank check companies. In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with their business combinations, many
blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the stockholders&rsquo; vote on an initial business combination, and
a holder could simply vote against a proposed initial business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating such holder
was seeking to exercise his or her redemption rights. After the initial business combination was approved, the company would contact
such stockholder to arrange for him or her to deliver his or her certificate to verify ownership. As a result, the stockholder
then had an &ldquo;option window&rdquo; after the completion of the initial business combination during which he or she could monitor
the price of the company&rsquo;s stock in the market. If the price rose above the redemption price, he or she could sell his or
her shares in the open market before actually delivering his or her shares to the company for cancellation. As a result, the redemption
rights, to which stockholders were aware they needed to commit before the stockholder meeting, would become &ldquo;option&rdquo;
rights surviving past the completion of the initial business combination until the redeeming holder delivered its certificate.
The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the meeting ensures that a redeeming holder&rsquo;s election to redeem
is irrevocable once the initial business combination is approved.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Any request to redeem such shares, once
made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the tender offer materials or the date of the stockholder meeting
set forth in our proxy materials, as applicable. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection
with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights,
such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated
that the funds to be distributed to holders of our public shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after
the completion of our initial business combination.</P>

not approved or completed for any reason, then our public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not
be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account. In such case, we will promptly return
any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.</P>

if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii)&nbsp;as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the

of incorporation (i)&nbsp;to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not
complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (ii)&nbsp;with respect to any other

payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held
in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.
HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public shares.
However, we will only redeem our public shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001
either immediately prior to or upon completion of our initial business combination&nbsp; (so that we are not subject to the SEC&rsquo;s
&ldquo;penny stock&rdquo; rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of public
shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement (described above), we would not proceed with the amendment
or the related redemption of our public shares at such time.</P>

with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the
approximately $875,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient
funds for such purpose. We will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the trust account to pay any
tax obligations we may owe. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing
our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes on interest
income earned on the trust account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000
of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.</P>

of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without
taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon
our dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the
claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that
the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. Under Section&nbsp;281(b)&nbsp;of
the DGCL, our plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be
made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before we make any distribution
of our remaining assets to our stockholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have
funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors&rsquo; claims.</P>

there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented
from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility
or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage
with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute
an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives
available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes
that such third party&rsquo;s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible
instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant
whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that
would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and Maxim, the underwriters of

such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts
or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Each of our sponsor and Nautilus has
agreed that it will be liable to us, on a pro rata basis based on the number of founder shares owned by them, if and to the extent
any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered
into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds
in the trust account to below the lesser of (i)&nbsp;$10.00 per public share and (ii)&nbsp;the actual amount per public share held

the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable from interest, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a
third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account
(whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor or Nautilus
to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether any of these initial stockholders has
sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the only assets of our sponsor and Nautilus are securities
of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our initial stockholders would be able to satisfy those obligations. None
of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and

amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification
obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine
whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our
independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us,
it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example, the
cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent
directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. We have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations
and we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due

stockholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors. In the event that our offering

the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead
of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within

However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching

involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject
to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority
over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will
be able to return $10.00 per share to our public stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary
bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under
applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a &ldquo;preferential transfer&rdquo; or a &ldquo;fraudulent conveyance.&rdquo;
As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders. Furthermore, our board
of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing
itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing
the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.</P>

    <TD>A prospectus containing information pertaining to the business combination required by the SEC would be sent to each investor. Each investor would be given the opportunity to notify the company in writing, within a period of no less than 20 business days and no more than 45 business days from the effective date of a post-effective amendment to the company&rsquo;s registration statement, to decide if it elects to remain a stockholder of the company or require the return of its investment. If the company has not received the notification by the end of the 45<SUP>th</SUP> business day, funds and interest or dividends, if any, held in the trust or escrow account are automatically returned to the stockholder. Unless a sufficient number of investors elect to remain investors, all funds on deposit in the escrow account must be returned to all of the investors and none of the securities are issued.</TD>

a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business
objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, and operating
businesses seeking strategic business combinations. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying
and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial,
technical, human and other resources than we do. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available
financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the initial business combination of a target
business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public stockholders who exercise their redemption rights
may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination and our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution
they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a
competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.</P>

including any finder&rsquo;s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by
us to our officers and directors, or, other than as described herein, to our sponsor or any affiliate of our sponsor or officers,
prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination
(regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence
on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor,
officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using
funds held outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, we do not expect to have any
additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.</P>

or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed initial business combination. We have
not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because
the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation
to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation
committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.</P>

provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary
duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally
violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper

We will purchase a policy of directors&rsquo; and officers&rsquo; liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify
our officers and directors.</P>

from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of
reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might

we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.</P>

purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344
shares of our common stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited
257,649 shares of our common stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify
as a &ldquo;reorganization&rdquo; under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares,
which represented all of the common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and
we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares. On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock
to the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class
B Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares
held by our initial stockholders, an aggregate of up to 562,500 are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies,
on a pro rata basis, if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The number of founder shares issued
and outstanding was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares
upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units).
If we increase or decrease the size of the offering we will effect a stock dividend or a share contribution back to capital or
other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to our Class&nbsp;B common stock immediately prior to the consummation
of the offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of our initial stockholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares
of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the
private placement units). Up to 562,500 founder shares are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies on
a pro rata basis depending on the extent to which the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is exercised. The founder shares
(including the Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred,
assigned or sold by the holders.</P>

such business combination opportunity to such other entity. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary
duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us. We may, at our option, pursue an Affiliated Joint
Acquisition opportunity with Maxim (or its affiliates) or an entity to which Maxim (or its affiliates) or an officer or director
has a fiduciary or contractual obligation, but such parties would co-invest only if permitted by applicable regulatory and other
legal limitations and to the extent considered appropriate. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the
time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination by
making a specified future issuance to any such entity.</P>

of this offering. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2020 or the closing

connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers,
directors and affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete an initial
business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we
may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust
account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after
the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units at a price
of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical to the private placement
warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such additional loans by our officers
and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to
seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing
to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.</P>

and consists of one share of Class&nbsp;A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class&nbsp;A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as
described in this prospectus. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number
of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrantholder.
No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you
purchase a multiple of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down to the
nearest whole number of warrants.</P>

unless Maxim informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to our having filed the Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K
described below and having issued a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. Once the shares of Class&nbsp;A
common stock and warrants commence separate trading, holders will have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units
into the component securities. Holders will need to have their brokers contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units
into shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock and warrants.</P>

balance sheet reflecting our receipt of the gross proceeds at the closing of this offering. We will file a Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K
which includes this audited balance sheet upon the completion of this offering, which closing is anticipated to take place three
business days after the date of this prospectus. If the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is exercised following the initial
filing of such Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K, a second or amended Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K will be filed to provide updated
financial information to reflect the exercise of the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option.</P>

as required by law. Unless specified in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or as required by applicable
provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock that
are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. Our board of directors will be divided into two
classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year.
There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends
when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.</P>

for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with our bylaws, unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of
such a meeting. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of our initial
business combination, and thus we may not be in compliance with Section&nbsp;211(b)&nbsp;of the DGCL, which requires an annual
meeting. Therefore, if our stockholders want us to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation of our initial business combination,

opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the
consummation of our initial business combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously
released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described
herein. The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share. Our sponsor, officers, directors
and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights
with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion
of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights
with respect to its public shares. Unlike many blank check companies that hold stockholder votes and conduct proxy solicitations
in conjunction with their initial business combinations and provide for related redemptions of public shares for cash upon completion
of such initial business combinations even when a vote is not required by law, if a stockholder vote is not required by law and
we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules&nbsp;of the SEC, and file tender offer
documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will require these tender offer documents to contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business
combination and the redemption rights as is required under the SEC&rsquo;s proxy rules. If, however, a stockholder approval of
the transaction is required by law, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, we will, like
many blank check companies, offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules&nbsp;and
not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only
if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. A quorum
for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company
representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such
meeting.</P>

officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates in privately-negotiated transactions (as described in this prospectus), if any,
could result in the approval of our initial business combination even if a majority of our public stockholders vote, or indicate
their intention to vote, against such business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding
shares of common stock voted, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is
obtained. We intend to give approximately 30 days (but not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days) prior written notice of any
such meeting, if required, at which a vote shall be taken to approve our initial business combination. These quorum and voting
thresholds, and the voting agreements of our initial stockholders, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial
business combination.</P>

with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a &ldquo;group&rdquo;
(as defined under Section&nbsp;13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than
an aggregate of 25% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering, which we refer to as the Excess Shares. However, we would
not be restricting our stockholders&rsquo; ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial
business combination. Our stockholders&rsquo; inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our ability
to complete our initial business combination, and such stockholders could suffer a material loss in their investment if they sell
such Excess Shares on the open market. Additionally, such stockholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to
the Excess Shares if we complete the initial business combination. And, as a result, such stockholders will continue to hold that
number of shares exceeding 25% and, in order to dispose such shares would be required to sell their stock in open market transactions,
potentially at a loss.</P>

HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business
combination. As a result, in addition to our initial stockholders&rsquo; founder shares, we would need only 5,392,251, or
35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination
(assuming all outstanding shares are voted; or 588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a
quorum are voted and assuming our sponsor, officers, directors and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after
this offering) in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not
exercised). Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem its public shares irrespective of whether they vote for
or against the proposed transaction (subject to the limitation described in the preceding paragraph).</P>

case that additional shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess
of the amounts sold in this prospectus and related to the closing of the initial business combination, including pursuant to
a specified future issuance, the ratio at which shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock shall convert into shares of Class&nbsp;A
common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock agree
to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, including a specified future issuance) so that
the number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock will
equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock
outstanding upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private

connection with the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued,
to any seller in the initial business combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to our initial
stockholders or their affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us . We cannot determine at this time whether a majority of
the holders of our Class&nbsp;B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment to the
conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i)&nbsp;closing conditions which
are part of the agreement for our initial business combination; (ii)&nbsp;negotiation with Class&nbsp;A stockholders on
structuring an initial business combination; or (iii)&nbsp;negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger
the anti-dilution provisions of the Class&nbsp;B common stock. If such adjustment is not waived, the specified future
issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class&nbsp;B common stock, but would reduce the
percentage ownership of holders of our Class&nbsp;A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the specified future issuance
would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of our common stock. The term &ldquo;equity-linked
securities&rdquo; refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Class&nbsp;A common stock issued in a financing transaction in connection with our initial business combination, including
but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be &ldquo;deemed issued&rdquo; for purposes of the
conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or

as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a
 &ldquo;cashless basis.&rdquo; In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a &ldquo;cashless basis,&rdquo;
our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive
effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our
warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering
their warrants for that number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x)&nbsp;the product
of the number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise
price of the warrants and the &ldquo;fair market value&rdquo; (defined below) by (y)&nbsp;the fair market value. The &ldquo;fair
market value&rdquo; shall mean the average volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class&nbsp;A common stock for
the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders
of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary
to calculate the number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the &ldquo;fair
market value&rdquo; in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and
thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not
need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call our warrants for redemption
and our management does not take advantage of this option, our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to
exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrantholders
would have been required to use had all warrantholders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described

days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement

is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of
the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants in
order to determine and realize the option value component of the warrant. This formula is to compensate the warrant holder for
the loss of the option value portion of the warrant due to the requirement that the warrant holder exercise the warrant within
30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market
price for an instrument is available.</P>

shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x)&nbsp;the product of the number of shares of
Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and
the &ldquo;fair market value&rdquo; (defined below) by (y)&nbsp;the fair market value. The &ldquo;fair market value&rdquo; shall
mean the average volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class&nbsp;A common stock for the 10 trading days ending
on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that
we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted
transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination.
If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect
to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during
such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or
she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class&nbsp;A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from
doing so. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.</P>

income tax consequences generally applicable to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our units, shares of Class&nbsp;A

U.S. federal income tax on a portion of our income if we are determined to be a personal holding company, or PHC, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. A U.S. corporation generally will be classified as a PHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a given taxable
year if (i)&nbsp;at any time during the last half of such taxable year, five or fewer individuals (without regard to their citizenship
or residency and including as individuals for this purpose certain entities such as certain tax-exempt organizations, pension funds
and charitable trusts) own or are deemed to own (pursuant to certain constructive ownership rules) more than 50% of the stock of
the corporation by value and (ii)&nbsp;at least 60% of the corporation&rsquo;s adjusted ordinary gross income, as determined for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, for such taxable year consists of PHC income (which includes, among other things, dividends,
interest, certain royalties, annuities and, under certain circumstances, rents).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">At least 60% of our adjusted ordinary gross

pension funds and charitable trusts, more than 50% of our stock may be owned or deemed owned (pursuant to the constructive ownership
rules) by such persons during the last half of a taxable year. Thus, no assurance can be given that we will not be a PHC following
this offering or in the future. If we are or were to become a PHC in a given taxable year, we would be subject to an additional
PHC tax, currently 20%, on our undistributed PHC income, which generally includes our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">No statutory, administrative or judicial
authority directly addresses the treatment of a unit or instruments similar to a unit for U.S. federal income tax purposes and,
therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. The acquisition of a unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes
as the acquisition of one share of our Class&nbsp;A common stock and one-half of one warrant to acquire one share of our Class&nbsp;A
common stock. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each holder of a unit must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder
for such unit between the one share of Class&nbsp;A common stock and the one-half of one warrant based on the relative fair market
value of each at the time of issuance. Under U.S. federal income tax law, each investor must make his or her own determination
of such value based on all the relevant facts and circumstances. Therefore, we strongly urge each investor to consult his or her
tax adviser regarding the determination of value for these purposes. The price allocated to each share of Class&nbsp;A common stock
and the one-half of one warrant should be the stockholder&rsquo;s tax basis in such share or one-half of one warrant, as the case
may be. Any disposition of a unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disposition of the share of Class&nbsp;A
common stock and one-half of one warrant comprising the unit, and the amount realized on the disposition should be allocated between
the Class&nbsp;A common stock and the one-half of one warrant based on their respective relative fair market values (as determined
by each such unit holder on all the relevant facts and circumstances) at the time of disposition. The separation of shares of Class&nbsp;A
common stock and warrants comprising units should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.</P>

Class&nbsp;A common stock and warrants and a holder&rsquo;s purchase price allocation are not binding on the IRS or the courts.
Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the units, no assurance can be given that
the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each prospective
investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an investment in a unit (including alternative
characterizations of a unit). The balance of this discussion assumes that the characterization of the units described above is
respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.</P>

we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our stock or rights to acquire our stock) to
U.S. holders of shares of our Class&nbsp;A common stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal
income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income
tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that
will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder&rsquo;s adjusted tax basis in our Class&nbsp;A common stock.
Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class&nbsp;A common stock and will
be treated as described under &ldquo;U.S. Holders &mdash; Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of
Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and Warrants&rdquo; below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that
is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied.
With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest
deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder
may constitute &ldquo;qualified dividends&rdquo; that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital
gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class&nbsp;A common stock described in this prospectus may
prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction
or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied,
then a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire
dividend amount, and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead
of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income.</P>

or Other Taxable Disposition of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and Warrants.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon a sale or other taxable disposition
of our Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants which, in general, would include a redemption of Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants
that is treated as a sale of such securities as described below, and including as a result of a dissolution and liquidation in
the event we do not consummate an initial business combination within the required time period, a U.S. holder generally will recognize
capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. holder&rsquo;s adjusted tax
basis in the Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss
if the U.S. holder&rsquo;s holding period for the Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants so disposed of exceeds one year. It is
unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class&nbsp;A common stock described in this prospectus may
suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the Class&nbsp;A
common stock is suspended, then non-corporate U.S. holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for
long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any gain on a sale or taxable disposition of the shares or warrants would be subject
to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized
by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations.</P>

the event that a U.S. holder&rsquo;s Class&nbsp;A common stock is redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this
prospectus under the section of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;Description of Securities &mdash; Common Stock&rdquo; or if we
purchase a U.S. holder&rsquo;s Class&nbsp;A common stock in an open market transaction, the treatment of the transaction for U.S.
federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Class&nbsp;A common stock under Section&nbsp;302
of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as described under &ldquo;U.S.
Holders &mdash; Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and Warrants&rdquo;
above. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution
with the tax consequences described above under &ldquo;U.S. Holders &mdash; Taxation of Distributions&rdquo;. Whether a redemption
qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. holder
(including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of our shares outstanding
both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Class&nbsp;A common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the Class&nbsp;A
common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i)&nbsp;is &ldquo;substantially disproportionate&rdquo;
with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii)&nbsp;results in a &ldquo;complete termination&rdquo; of the U.S. holder&rsquo;s interest
in us or (iii)&nbsp;is &ldquo;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&rdquo; with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are
explained more fully below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">In determining whether any of the foregoing
tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of our
stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned
by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder,
as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Class&nbsp;A
common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate
test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following
the redemption of Class&nbsp;A common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding
voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination
of a U.S. holder&rsquo;s interest if either (i)&nbsp;all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S.
holder are redeemed or (ii)&nbsp;all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder
is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family
members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other shares of our stock. The redemption of the Class&nbsp;A common
stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder&rsquo;s conversion results in a &ldquo;meaningful reduction&rdquo;
of the U.S. holder&rsquo;s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S.
holder&rsquo;s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated
in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held
corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a &ldquo;meaningful reduction.&rdquo; A U.S. holder
should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied,
then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution and the tax effects will be as described under &ldquo;U.S. Holders
 &mdash; Taxation of Distributions,&rdquo; above. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder
in the redeemed Class&nbsp;A common stock will be added to the U.S. holder&rsquo;s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or,
if it has none, to the U.S. holder&rsquo;s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by
it.</P>

as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize taxable gain
or loss on the acquisition of common stock upon exercise of a warrant for cash. The U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the share
of our Class&nbsp;A common stock received upon exercise of the warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S.
holder&rsquo;s initial investment in the warrant (i.e., the portion of the U.S. holder&rsquo;s purchase price for units that is
allocated to the warrant, as described above under &ldquo;&mdash;Allocation of Purchase Price and Characterization of a Unit&rdquo;)
and the exercise price. It is unclear whether the U.S. holder&rsquo;s holding period for the Class&nbsp;A common stock received
upon exercise of the warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the warrants;
in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the warrants. If a warrant is
allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder&rsquo;s tax basis in
the warrant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The tax consequences of a cashless exercise
of a warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a gain
realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free
situation, a U.S. holder&rsquo;s basis in the Class&nbsp;A common stock received would equal the holder&rsquo;s basis in the warrants
exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a gain realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder&rsquo;s
holding period in the Class&nbsp;A common stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on
the date of exercise of the warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. holder
held the warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Class&nbsp;A common stock
would include the holding period of the warrants exercised therefor.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">It is also possible that a cashless exercise
could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder could be
deemed to have surrendered warrants equal to the number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock having a value equal to the exercise
price for the total number of warrants to be exercised. The U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal
to the difference between the fair market value of the Class&nbsp;A common stock received in respect of the warrants deemed surrendered
and the U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the
Class&nbsp;A common stock received would equal the sum of the fair market value of the Class&nbsp;A common stock received in respect
of the warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the warrants exercised. It is unclear whether a U.S.
holder&rsquo;s holding period for the Class&nbsp;A common stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on
the date of exercise of the warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. holder
held the warrant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Due to the absence of authority on the
U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. holder&rsquo;s holding period would commence with
respect to the Class&nbsp;A common stock received, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences
and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their
tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.</P>

or to the exercise price of the&nbsp;warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;Description
of Securities&nbsp;&mdash; Redeemable Warrants &mdash; Public Stockholders&rsquo; Warrants.&rdquo; An adjustment which has the
effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. The U.S. holders of the warrants would, however, be treated as receiving
a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment to the number of such shares or to such exercise price increases
the warrantholders&rsquo; proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number
of shares of common stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the warrant) as a
result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of shares of our common stock, or
as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of shares of our common stock, in each case which is taxable to the
U.S. holders of such shares as described under &ldquo;U.S. Holders &mdash; Taxation of Distributions&rdquo; above. Such constructive
distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. holders of the warrants

general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. holder of shares of our Class&nbsp;A common stock, to the extent paid out of our
current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends
for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s
conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend
at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax
treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E).
Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s
adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class&nbsp;A common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s
adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Class&nbsp;A common stock, which will be treated
as described under &ldquo;Non-U.S. Holders &mdash; Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class&nbsp;A
Common Stock and Warrants&rdquo; below. In addition, if we determine that we are likely to be classified as a &ldquo;U.S. real
property holding corporation&rdquo; (see &ldquo;Non-U.S. Holders &mdash; Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition
of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and Warrants&rdquo; below), we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and

paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides a Form&nbsp;W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S.

to regular U.S. income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing
otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional &ldquo;branch

between us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price were the history
and prospects of companies whose principal business is the acquisition of other companies, prior offerings of those companies,
our management, our capital structure, and currently prevailing general conditions in the equity securities markets, including
current market valuations of publicly traded companies considered comparable to our company. We cannot assure you, however, that
the price at which the units, Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants will sell in the public market after this offering will not
be lower than the initial public offering price or that an active trading market in our units, Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants
will develop and continue after this offering.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Under Ontario securities
legislation, certain purchasers who purchase a security offered by this prospectus during the period of distribution will have
a statutory right of action for damages, or while still the owner of our securities, for rescission against us in the event that
this prospectus contains a misrepresentation without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation. The right
of action for damages is exercisable not later than the earlier of 180 days from the date the purchaser first had knowledge of
the facts giving rise to the cause of action and three years from the date on which payment is made for our securities. The right
of action for rescission is exercisable not later than 180 days from the date on which payment is made for our securities. If a
purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against
us. In no case will the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price at which our securities were offered to the purchaser
and if the purchaser is shown to have purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation, we will have no liability.
In the case of an action for damages, we will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that are proven to not represent
the depreciation in value of our securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon. These rights are in addition to,
and without derogation from, any other rights or remedies available at law to an Ontario purchaser. The foregoing is a summary
of the rights available to an Ontario purchaser. Ontario purchasers should refer to the complete text of the relevant statutory
provisions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Growth Capital
Acquisition Corp. (formerly known as PinstripesNYS, Inc.) (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders&rsquo; equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March
31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the &ldquo;financial statements&rdquo;). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the each of the two years in the period March 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements,
the Company&rsquo;s business plan is dependent on the completion of a financing and its cash and working capital are not sufficient
to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 and Note 3. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.</P>

of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the &quot;PCAOB&quot;)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our audits included performing procedures
to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.</P>

sponsor is Growth Capital Sponsor LLC (the &ldquo;Sponsor&rdquo;), an affiliate of Maxim. The Company&rsquo;s ability to commence
operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the Proposed Offering of 15,000,000 units (each, a
&ldquo;Unit&rdquo; and collectively, the &ldquo;Units&rdquo;) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit (or 17,250,000 Units if the
underwriter&rsquo;s over-allotment option is exercised in full), which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit will consist of one share
of Class&nbsp;A common stock and one-half warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class&nbsp;A common
stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the
Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering and will expire five years after the completion of
the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to
purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. The Sponsor, Nautilus Carriers LLC and HB Strategies
LLC have committed to purchase 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option
is exercised in full) (each, a &ldquo;Private Placement Unit&rdquo; and collectively, the &ldquo;Private Placement Units&rdquo;)

of an initial Business Combination or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment
as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or
deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in this prospectus and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination,
including pursuant to a specified future issuance, the ratio at which shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock shall convert into shares
of Class&nbsp;A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;B common
stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, including a specified future issuance)
so that the number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock will
equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding
upon the completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units)
plus all shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial
Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business
Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to
us). At June 30, 2020, no shares of the Class&nbsp;A common stock were outstanding. If the Company enters into an initial
Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number
of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company&rsquo;s stockholders
vote on the initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the initial Business
Combination. Holders of the Company&rsquo;s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. On February&nbsp;24,
2020, the Company effectuated a recapitalization. Each outstanding share of the Company&rsquo;s Common Stock became 0.8425 shares
of Class&nbsp;B common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 Founder Shares outstanding  (up to
562,500 of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriter&rsquo;s over-allotment option is not exercised in full). On August 14, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company, and each of Nautilus
and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B Common Stock.</P>

Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a
cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company will agree that as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company
will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the
shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective
within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to
those shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If
the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act by the 60<SUP>th</SUP>&nbsp;business
day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants
on a &ldquo;cashless basis&rdquo; in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(a)(9)&nbsp;of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding
the above, if the Company's Class&nbsp;A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a &quot;covered security&quot; under Section&nbsp;18(b)(1)&nbsp;of the Securities
Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a &quot;cashless basis&quot;
in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(a)(9)&nbsp;of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects, the Company will not be
required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify
the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.</P>

Once the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock and warrants commence separate trading, holders will have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units into the component securities. Holders will need to have their brokers contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units into shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock and warrants. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase a multiple of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of warrants. </TD></TR>

        of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344 shares of our common stock
        to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited 257,649 shares of our common
        stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify as a &ldquo;reorganization&rdquo;
        under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares, which represented all of the
        common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and we created a new Class A common
        stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares.
        On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company for no consideration,
        and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B Common Stock for a purchase price
        of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086).</P>

        <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The number of founder shares issued and outstanding was determined
        based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after our initial public offering
        (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement units). As such, our initial stockholders
        will collectively own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after our initial public offering (assuming they do not purchase
        any units in our initial public offering and not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement
        units). Neither our sponsor nor any of our officers or directors have expressed an intention to purchase any units in our initial
        public offering. Up to 562,500 founder shares will be subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies on a pro
        rata basis depending on the extent to which the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is exercised so that our initial stockholders
        will maintain ownership of 20% of our common stock after our initial public offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A
        common stock underlying the private placement units). We will effect a stock dividend or share contribution prior to our initial
        public offering should the size of the offering change, in order to maintain such ownership percentage.</P></TD></TR>

    <TD STYLE="width: 1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD STYLE="width: 71%">If holders of private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay
    the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock equal to the quotient
    obtained by dividing (x)&nbsp;the product of the number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied
    by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the &ldquo;fair market value&rdquo; (defined below) by (y)&nbsp;the
    fair market value. The &ldquo;fair market value&rdquo; shall mean the average volume weighted average last reported sale price
    of the Class&nbsp;A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice
    of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on
    a cashless basis so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees is because it is not
    known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated
    with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies
    in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods
    of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is
    in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class&nbsp;A
    common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted
    from doing so. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.</TD></TR>

However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq&rsquo;s 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking stockholder approval, as applicable.</TD></TR>

    <TD STYLE="width: 71%">If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &ldquo;Exchange Act&rdquo;). We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules&nbsp;under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules&nbsp;under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 and Section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination. See &ldquo;Proposed Business &mdash; Permitted purchases of our securities&rdquo; for a description of how our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates will select which stockholders to purchase securities from in any private transaction.</TD></TR>

    <TD>The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public &ldquo;float&rdquo; of our shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.</TD></TR>

Under Nasdaq rules, asset acquisitions and stock purchases would not typically require stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding common stock or seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would require stockholder approval.

    <TD>&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination
    and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules,
    our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate

    of 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering, without our prior consent. We believe the restriction described

    their ability to redeem their shares as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium
    to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding more than
    an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights against
    an initial business combination if such holder&rsquo;s shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the
    then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders&rsquo; ability to redeem to no more
    than 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders
    to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with
    an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
    amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders&rsquo; ability to vote all of their shares (including
    all shares held by those stockholders that hold more than 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering) for or against

    our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock upon approval of any such
    amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including
    interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Our sponsor,
    officers, directors and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which they have agreed to waive
    their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares held by them in
    connection with the completion of our initial business combination.</TD></TR>

purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344
shares of our common stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited
257,649 shares of our common stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify
as a &ldquo;reorganization&rdquo; under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares,
which represented all of the common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and
we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares (up to 562,500 of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option
is not exercised in full). On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to
the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B
Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares held
by our initial stockholders, an aggregate of up to 562,500 are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies,
on a pro rata basis, if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The number of founder shares issued
and outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares of
common stock upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock underlying the private placement
units). Such securities were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in
Section&nbsp;4(a)(2)&nbsp;of the Securities Act. Our sponsor is an accredited investor for purposes of Rule&nbsp;501 of Regulation
D.</P>

option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters&rsquo; over-allotment

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This
                                         Registration Statement contains a prospectus relating to the initial public offering
                                         of units of Growth Capital Acquisition Corp. for $10.00 per unit, consisting of one share
                                         of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. This Registration
                                         Statement also contains a prospectus relating to offer and sales of units of Growth Capital
                                         Acquisition Corp. in connection with certain market making transactions that may be effected
                                         by Maxim Group LLC in the secondary market for 30 days following the date of this prospectus.
                                         The complete prospectus relating to the initial public offering of our units (the "IPO
                                         Prospectus") follows immediately after this Explanatory Note. Following the IPO
                                         Prospectus are certain pages of the prospectus relating solely to such market making
                                         transactions (together with the remainder of the prospectus as modified as indicated
                                         below, the "Market Making Prospectus"), including an alternate front and
                                         back cover page, an alternate table of contents and alternate sections entitled "Summary — The
                                         Offering," "Use of Proceeds" and "Plan of Distribution."
                                         Each of such alternate pages has been marked "Alternate Page for Market
                                         Making Prospectus." The Market Making Prospectus will not include the information
                                         in the sections of the IPO Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors — Our
                                         initial stockholders paid nominal purchase price for their founder share, and, accordingly,
                                         you will experience immediate and substantial dilution from the purchase of our Class B
                                         common stock.," "Risk Factors — The determination of the
                                         offering price of our units and the size of this offering is more arbitrary than the
                                         pricing of securities and size of an offering of an operating company in a particular
                                         industry. You may have less assurance, therefore, that the offering price of our units
                                         properly reflects the value of such units than you would have in a typical offering of
                                         an operating company.," "Dilution," "Capitalization," "Use
                                         of Proceeds" and "Underwriting (Conflict of Interest)." All other sections
                                         of the IPO Prospectus are to be used in the Market Making Prospectus. A complete version
                                         of each of the IPO Prospectus and the Market Making Prospectus will be filed with the
                                         U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities
                                         Act.
The information in this preliminary prospectus
is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer
to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION,
DATED AUGUST 17, 2020
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
$150,000,000
Growth Capital Acquisition Corp.
15,000,000 Units
Growth Capital Acquisition Corp. is a
blank check company whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as our initial business combination. We have not
selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions,
directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
This is an initial public offering of
our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of our Class A common stock and one-half
of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class A common stock
at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. The underwriters have a 45-day option from the date
of this prospectus to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. We will provide our public
stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of our Class A common stock upon the completion
of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
trust account described below as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including
interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number
of then outstanding shares of Class A common stock that were sold as part of the units in this offering, which we refer to
collectively as our public shares throughout this prospectus, subject to the limitations described herein. If we are unable to
complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, we will redeem 100% of the public
shares for cash, subject to applicable law and certain conditions as further described herein.
Our sponsor, Growth Capital Sponsor LLC,
an affiliate of Maxim Group LLC, our underwriter, Nautilus Carriers LLC, an affiliate of our Co-Chief Executive Officers ("Nautilus"),
and HB Strategies LLC, an affiliate of Hudson Bay, have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 units if
the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000
if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full)in a private placement that will close simultaneously with
the closing of this offering. We refer to these units throughout this prospectus as the private placement units. The private placement
units are identical to the units sold in this offering, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in this prospectus.
Hudson Bay has also indicated an interest in purchasing, directly or indirectly, up to 3,000,000 units in this offering at the
public offering price. However, indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase and Hudson Bay may
decide not to purchase any units in this offering. In addition, the underwriters could determine to sell fewer units to Hudson
Bay than they indicated an interest in purchasing or could determine not to sell any units to Hudson Bay.
Our initial stockholders own an aggregate
of 4,312,500 shares of our Class B common stock (up to 562,500 shares of which are subject to forfeiture by our initial stockholders
depending on the extent to which the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised), which will automatically convert
into shares of Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder,
as described herein.
Currently, there is no public market for
our units, Class A common stock or warrants. We have applied to list our units on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under
the symbol "GCACU". We expect that our units will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market on or promptly after the
date of this prospectus. We cannot guarantee that our securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. We expect the Class A
common stock and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the 52
nd
day following the date of this
prospectus unless Maxim Group LLC informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to our satisfaction of
certain conditions. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, we expect that the Class A common stock
and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols "GCAC" and "GCACW," respectively.
We are an "emerging growth company"
under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our
securities involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 34 for a discussion of information
that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities. Investors will not be entitled to protections normally
afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus
is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

    to the underwriters.
Of
the proceeds we receive from this offering and the sale of the private placement units described in this prospectus, $150.0 million
or $172.5 million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full ($10.00 per unit in either case) will be
deposited into a trust account in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company acting as trustee, and $1.655
million will be available to pay fees and expenses in connection with
the closing of this offering and for working capital following the closing of this offering.
The underwriters are offering the units
for sale on a firm commitment basis. The underwriters expect to deliver the units to the purchasers on or about             ,

separation of the units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of warrants.
Unless we tell you otherwise, the information
in this prospectus assumes that the underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment option and gives effect to a recapitalization
of the company (intended to qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended) to reclassify our common stock into two classes, Class A and Class B and a 0.8425-for-1 reverse
split of our common stock effected on February 24, 2020.
Our Company
General
We are a blank check company incorporated
as a Delaware corporation whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus
as our initial business combination. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone
on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect
to an initial business combination with us.
We intend to target an initial business
combination that will provide our investors with an attractive return profile. Our efforts will not be limited to a specific industry
or geographic region, but we will we intend to focus on entities that have the following characteristics:
·
global emerging growth and lower-to-middle market companies with
    aggregate enterprise values of approximately $300 million to $1.5 billion;
·
strong platforms
                                         within niche market segments that and would benefit from access to the public markets;
                                         and
·
management
                                         teams that have showcased industry leading operational expertise and a track record of
                                         providing returns to investors.
We will seek to capitalize on the significant
experience of our sponsor and its affiliates as well as our management team to consummate an initial business combination with
the goal of pursuing attractive returns for our shareholders.
With respect to the foregoing descriptions,
past performance of Maxim (and its affiliates), Hudson Bay and our management team is not a guarantee either (i) of success
with respect to any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate
for our initial business combination. You should not rely on the historical performance record of Maxim (and its affiliates),
Hudson Bay or our management team as indicative of our future performance. In addition, our officers may have conflicts of interest
with other entities to which they owe fiduciary or contractual obligations with respect to initial business combination opportunities.
For a list of our officers and entities for which a conflict of interest may or does exist between such officers and the company,
as well as the priority and preference that such entity has with respect to performance of obligations and presentation of business
opportunities to us, please refer to the table and subsequent explanatory paragraph under "Management — Conflicts
of Interest".

Services Inc. in October 2013, and in November 2015 was acquired by DryShips, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRYS). Star Maritime
conducted an initial public offering in June 2005 having raised $188.8 million, consummated a business combination in November 2007,
and trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market as Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (Nasdaq: SBLK). Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos played
leading roles throughout the business combination transactions for Stellar, Nautilus Marine and Star Maritime, including identifying
suitable acquisition candidates including the ultimate targets, and the consummation of such acquisitions. During their tenures
at Stellar, Nautilus Marine and Star maritime, Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos sourced and evaluated an aggregate of over
120 possible acquisition targets.
Alliance with Maxim
Our management team has a long and extensive
working relationship with Maxim stemming back to 2005. Maxim was the lead underwriter in all three blank check company initial
public offerings that our management team completed and played an important role in the consummation of all three business combinations.
This long standing business relationship has played a key role in the formation and partnership of our management team and Maxim
for Growth Capital's initial public offering.
Our sponsor, Growth Capital Sponsor LLC,
is an affiliate of Maxim Group LLC (which we also refer to as "Maxim" in this prospectus). Maxim is a leading closely-held
diversified global investment bank and private wealth management firm with approximately 300 professionals. Maxim focuses on serving
the financial and strategic needs of its global emerging growth and lower-to-middle market corporate clients that are typically
sub-$1 billion enterprise value businesses across a range of industries, including healthcare, industrials, energy, technology,
media, telecommunications, software, consumer, financial services, fintech, cleantech and a host of other industries. Maxim provides
its corporate clients financial solutions including capital raising services during their most important and formative stages
of development through its unique distribution channels, and strategic advice on their critical corporate actions such as mergers
and acquisitions. In addition, Maxim provides a wide range of value-added services including sales & trading, equity
research, wealth management & corporate services, to serve all aspects of clients' capital markets/financial needs.
Maxim was formed in October of 2002 as a result of a management
led acquisition of the multi-billion-dollar market capitalization and LSE listed global financial services firm Investec PLC's
U.S. platform, Investec & Co. As a result of this management lead acquisition and rebranding, Maxim has grown from
a regional wealth management and brokerage firm with approximately 125 employees in 2002 to a diversified global investment banking
firm with currently approximately 300 employees globally. Since inception, Maxim has had consistent profitability along with prudent
risk management, a diversified revenue base with multiple strategic growth engines and significant inherent operating leverage,
well capitalized to meet its objectives and has no debt.

As a leading diversified global investment
banking firm targeting the emerging growth and lower-to-middle market with a focus on sub-$1 billion enterprise value companies,
Maxim has completed over 700 financings and M&A transactions, aggregating over $39 billion dollars, having acted as book runner,
co-manager or financial advisor since inception. In addition to providing capital raising services, Maxim has a large and developed
strategic advisory and M&A practice having completed over 50 M&A and strategic advisory transactions aggregating over
$5.0 billion dollars since 2002. Maxim's capital markets and institutional trading platforms service over 2,000 institutions
in over 30 countries and provides sales trading advice on traditional derivatives and financial instruments, institutional coverage
in several different fixed income instruments, is a market maker in over 7,500 listed and OTC listed stocks and prime brokerage
services. With a focus on small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging growth companies with a market capitalization below $1 billion, Maxim
also has approximately 200 companies in 20 sectors of the global economy under research coverage. Finally, Maxim also provides
wealth management and corporate services and has approximately $4.0 billion in client assets under management.
Maxim is also a leader in the special purpose
acquisition company ("SPAC") market, having been involved as a book runner, co-manager, underwriter or selling group
member in approximately 38% of the SPAC initial public offerings that have come to market since 2002. In addition to being a leader
in SPAC initial public offerings, Maxim has also had significant merger and acquisition and advisory experience, having been involved
in numerous mergers or similar transactions representing the initial business combinations of SPACs ("de-SPACings").
In addition to working with SPACs during their de-SPACing process, Maxim has also advised and raised capital for numerous de-SPACed
companies once they have transformed into operating companies following their initial business combinations.
In addition to Maxim's SPAC experience,
Maxim has also been involved in other complex transactions that facilitate the "going public" process for our corporate
clients. Maxim has significant experience in sourcing and structuring capital markets transactions that enable companies to access
the public markets. We believe that our prior experience with reverse mergers, public roll-ups, small cap IPOs, private-to-public
as well as public-to-public M&A transactions will provide us with a unique skill set to effectuate and source a potential
business combination. We believe these attributes coupled with the combination of our sponsor's, Maxim's, as well
as our management team's capital markets and SPAC transaction expertise and a proven ability to grow businesses organically
and through acquisitions makes us uniquely qualified to pursue an initial business combination.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that the background and experience
of our management team and Maxim lay the foundation for our competitive strengths as a blank check company. Over time, our sponsor
(and its affiliates) has developed long-term relationships with a wide range of global private and public companies primarily
under $1 billion in enterprise value. We will seek to capitalize on the substantial resources and their network and relationships
will provide us with exposure to a broad selection of potential acquisition targets. However, there is no formal agreement between
us and Maxim with respect to the provision of any services to us by Maxim and its employees. Consequently, while we expect Maxim
and its employees to provide us services so that we can capitalize on the substantial resources and global infrastructure of Maxim
and leverage Maxim's relationships, there is no guarantee that Maxim or its employees will provide any services to us or
that we will be able to do so.

Experience
                                         with SPACs and the broader capital markets.
Our management team has significant
                                         experience having completed three previous SPAC transactions in the sourcing, evaluation
                                         and negotiation of transactions with blank check company targets. Maxim (together with
                                         its affiliates) has experience in the capital markets, M&A and advisory transactions
                                         and expertise as a leader in the SPAC market which we believe will enable us to navigate
                                         the complexity of the initial business combination process. As such, we believe this
                                         will enable us to drive the target sourcing process in a very prompt and efficient manner
                                         as well as navigate through all required procedures and complexities of the SPAC transaction
                                         process.

·
Deep global network to facilitate sourcing of a potential
    initial business combination.
We intend to leverage the global network of contacts of our management team and Maxim
    and its officers and directors, which contacts include management teams of public and private companies, investment bankers,
    private equity sponsors, venture capital investors, hedge funds, alternative asset managers, family offices, advisers, attorneys
    and accountants that we believe should provide us with a number of initial business combination opportunities.
·
Significant
                                         merger, acquisition and integration experience.
Maxim (together with its affiliates)
                                         has a strong track record of completing M&A transactions in challenging market environments.
                                         Maxim was created in 2002, post "dot-com tech/internet bubble", as a result
                                         of its predecessor retrenching back to its local market. Additionally, our officers and
                                         directors have substantial experience completing M&A transactions in multiple markets
                                         on a global basis for both private and public companies.

Maxim
                                         is a leading diversified global financial services firm focused on the global emerging
                                         growth and lower-to-middle market sectors.
We believe that Maxim (together with
                                         its affiliates) experience as a leading financial services firm with a wide range of
                                         global experience working with private and public companies primarily under $1 billion
                                         in enterprise value will enable us to navigate, source and execute a potential initial
                                         business combination.
Investment/Acquisition Criteria
While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity
in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management team's
background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business or businesses consistent
with the experience of our management team and affiliates of Maxim. We believe our universe of potential acquisition targets will
meet the following criteria, but is not limited to:
·
Global emerging growth and lower-to-middle market companies.
We intend to seek and initial business combination with an aggregate enterprise value of approximately $300 million
    to $1.5 billion. We believe this segment of the market enables us to leverage Maxim's vast global network to identify
    opportunities.
·
Attractive
                                         initial valuation arbitrage.
We believe there are substantial private-to-public
                                         arbitrage opportunities that currently exist in the global emerging growth and lower-to-middle
                                         market sectors. We will seek to target an initial business combination that may provide
                                         a compelling private-to-public valuation arbitrage to initially capitalize on.
·
Solid
                                         Free Cash Flow Generation.
We will seek to acquire via our initial business combination
                                         a target with attractive operating margins, strong free cash flow generation and solid
                                         recurring revenue streams.
·
Strong
                                         platforms within niche market segments that would benefit from access to the public markets.
We intend to target an initial business combination with a platform company that
                                         can thrive within the public market. We believe there are many reasons to establish a
                                         public market platform including but not limited to, efficiencies of raising capital,
                                         a public market currency and valuation differentials.
·
Platform
                                         opportunities that can benefit from "bolt-on" acquisitions.
We believe
                                         that finding a core platform to transact with, will potentially benefit from acquisitions
                                         or consolidation within their respective industries. We may seek to target fragmented
                                         industries, but we also believe that future "bolt-on" acquisitions may provide
                                         additional enhanced margins, further operational scale and capture further valuation
                                         arbitrage opportunities.
6
·
Investment opportunities that can thrive from deploying growth capital.
We believe that in addition to capturing
the private-to-public valuation arbitrage opportunity with our initial business combination, we also recognize that it is critical
to find a target entity that will benefit from having access to growth capital. We believe that if this growth capital is deployed
efficiently, the initial business combination may potentially provide additional attractive risk-adjusted returns.
·
Management teams that have showcased industry leading operational expertise and a track record of providing returns to
investors.
We intend to seek opportunities that have strong management teams that have been able to historically provide
returns to their investors. We believe that the expertise of a management team is one of the critical components for driving growth,
operational efficiencies and unlocking value from an investment opportunity.
·
Investment opportunities that can benefit from Maxim's and our management team's expertise.
Maxim's
(and affiliates') and our management team's expertise and prior track record of acting as operators, investors and
investment bankers uniquely position us to provide significant incremental value-added support to any potential target we transact
with. We believe we will be able to enhance returns for any future potential target in concert with a target's management
team.
·
Off market and complex proprietary transactions.
As a result of its robust deal sourcing network, Maxim often
comes across unique and complex transactions that may require a significant amount of financial engineering and creative capital
structure enhancement to unlock cash flow generation and value. We will not shy away from such potential opportunities as we believe
these potential transactions may unlock significant risk adjusted returns.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive.
Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these
general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant. In the event that
we decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines,
we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our stockholder communications related to our initial
business combination, which, as discussed in this prospectus, would be in the form of proxy solicitation materials or tender offer
documents that we would file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Business Strategy
Our acquisition and value creation strategy
will be to identify, acquire and, after our initial business combination, to build a company in an industry that complements the
experience and expertise of our management team. Our acquisition selection process will leverage the network of contacts developed
by Maxim and our management team and those of their affiliates, including relationships in the financial services industry, comprising
management teams of public and private companies, investment bankers, private equity sponsors, venture capital investors, hedge
funds, alternative asset managers, family offices, advisers, attorneys and accountants that we believe should provide us with a
number of business combination opportunities. Upon completion of this offering, our management team will communicate with their
contacts, including employees of our affiliates, to set forth the type of company that we would like to target so that we can begin
the process of locating, identifying, pursuing and reviewing potential target companies.
We currently expect that we would enter
into an administrative services agreement with any target business with Maxim or one of its affiliates for Maxim and its affiliates
to provide, or procure the provision of, various administrative (both middle office and back office) services to us. Such agreement
would be entered into at the closing of our initial business combination pursuant to negotiations with the target business. Maxim
and its affiliates have entered into administrative services agreements with many of its affiliates and we believe that the provision
of these services from Maxim and its affiliates would be advantageous to a target business and allow a target business to leverage
the resources of Maxim and its affiliates. We would expect that the administrative services would be provided at a cost equal
to (1) the direct cost that the providing party incurs in performing those services, including third-party charges incurred
in providing services, plus (2) a reasonable allocation of other costs determined in a consistent and fair manner so as to
cover the providing party's appropriate costs or in such other manner as the parties agree.
7
Initial Business Combination Criteria
As long as we obtain and maintain a listing
for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least
80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account)
at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors will
make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to
independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent accounting
firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able
to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if
it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty
as to the value of a target's assets or prospects.
We may, at our option, pursue a business
combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with Maxim and/or one or more investors in funds
or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim, which we refer to as an "Affiliated Joint Acquisition." Any such
parties would co-invest only if (i) permitted by applicable regulatory and other legal limitations; (ii) we and Maxim
considered a transaction to be mutually beneficial to us as well as the affiliated entity; and (iii) other business reasons
exist to do so, such as the strategic merits of including such co-investors, the need for additional capital beyond the amount
held in our trust account to fund the initial business combination and/or the desire to obtain committed capital for closing the
initial business combination. An Affiliated Joint Acquisition may be effected through a co-investment with us in the target business
at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination
by issuing to such parties a class of equity or equity-linked securities. We refer to this potential future issuance, or a similar
issuance to other specified purchasers, as a "specified future issuance" throughout this prospectus. The amount and
other terms and conditions of any such specified future issuance would be determined at the time thereof. We are not obligated
to make any specified future issuance and may determine not to do so. This is not an offer for any specified future issuance. Pursuant
to the anti-dilution provisions of our Class B common stock, any such specified future issuance would result in an adjustment
to the conversion ratio such that our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees, if any, would retain their aggregate
percentage ownership at 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering
(not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units) plus all shares issued in the specified
future issuance, unless the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B common stock agreed to waive such
adjustment with respect to the specified future issuance at the time thereof. We cannot determine at this time whether a majority
of the holders of our Class B common stock at the time of any such specified future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment
to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing conditions
which are part of the agreement for our initial business combination; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders on structuring
an initial business combination; (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution
provisions of the Class B common stock; or (iv) as part of the Affiliated Joint Acquisition. If such adjustment is not
waived, the specified future issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class B common stock, but
would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the specified
future issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of our common stock.
We anticipate structuring our initial business
combination either (i) in such a way so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will
own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses, or (ii) in such a way so that
the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet
certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders, or for other reasons, including an Affiliated Joint Acquisition
as described above. However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires
50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient
for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the "Investment
Company Act". Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our
stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company,
depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction
in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this
case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number
of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding
shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business
or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or
acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq's 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination
involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions
and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking
stockholder approval, as applicable. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we would be required
to comply with such 80% rule.

Our Business Combination Process
In evaluating prospective business combinations,
we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review process that will encompass, among other things, a review of historical and
projected financial and operating data, meetings with management and their advisors (if applicable), on-site inspection of facilities
and assets, discussion with customers and suppliers, legal reviews and other reviews as we deem appropriate. We will also utilize
the expertise of our management team, directors and other employees of Maxim (and its affiliates) in analyzing companies and evaluating
operating projections, financial projections and determining the appropriate return expectations.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial
business combination with a business that is affiliated with Maxim (or its affiliates), investment funds or separate accounts advised
by Maxim or our initial stockholders, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination
with a business that is affiliated with Maxim (or its affiliates), investment funds or separate accounts advised by Maxim (or its
affiliates) or our initial stockholders, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion
from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation, appraisal or accounting firm
that regularly provides fairness opinions that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of
view.
Our Co-Chief Executive Officers will indirectly own founder
shares and/or private placement units following this offering.
Because of such ownership and interests,
our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate
business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict
of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and
directors were to be included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
Our initial stockholders and management
may be made aware of potential business opportunities, one or more of which we may desire to pursue for an initial business combination;
we have not, however, selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated
any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
9
Each of our officers and directors presently
has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which
such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity. Accordingly, if any of our officers
or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current
fiduciary or contractual obligations to present the opportunity to such entity, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual
obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. We believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations
of our sponsor and our officers or directors will not materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
We may, at our option, pursue a business combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with Maxim
and/or one or more investors in funds or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim or an officer or director that has a fiduciary
or contractual obligation (collectively an "Affiliated Joint Acquisition"). Any such entity may co-invest with us
in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the
initial business combination by making a specified future issuance to any such entity. Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless
such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and
such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue,
and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.
The determination of whether an opportunity has been expressly offered to a director or officer solely in his or her capacity
as a director or officer of our company will be made based on express statements by the person offering the opportunity, and if
a director or officer is unsure of whether an opportunity was offered in such capacity, he or she shall seek guidance on such
determination from the audit committee of our board of directors.
Our officers have agreed not to become an
officer of any other special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, until we have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination
or we have failed to complete our initial business combination within 24 months after the closing of this offering.
Corporate Information
Our executive offices are located at 405

a corporate website at

.
We are an "emerging growth company,"
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or
the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable
to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with
the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not
previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market
for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS
Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of
the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay
the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take
advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will remain an emerging growth company
until the earlier of  (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion
of this offering, or (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are
deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A common stock that is held by non-affiliates
exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on
which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

The
Offering
In deciding whether to invest in our
securities, you should take into account not only the backgrounds of the members of our management team, but also the special risks
we face as a blank check company and the fact that this offering is not being conducted in compliance with Rule 419 promulgated
under the Securities Act. You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings.
You should carefully consider these and the other risks set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors."
Securities offered
15,000,000 units (or 17,250,000 units if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), at $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of:
·
one
        share of Class A common stock; and
·
one-half
        of one redeemable warrant.
Proposed Nasdaq symbols
Units: "GCACU"
Class A Common Stock: "GCAC"
Warrants: "GCACW"
Trading commencement and separation of Class A common stock and warrants
The units will begin trading on or promptly after the date of
        this prospectus. We expect the Class A common stock and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the 52
nd
day following the date of this prospectus unless Maxim informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to
        our having filed the Current Report on Form 8-K described below and having issued a press release announcing when such separate
        trading will begin. Once the shares of Class A common stock and warrants commence separate trading, holders will have the
        option to continue to hold units or separate their units into the component securities. Holders will need to have their brokers
        contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units into shares of Class A common stock and warrants. No fractional
        warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase a multiple
        of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number
        of warrants.
Separate trading of the Class A common stock and warrants is prohibited until we have filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
In no event will the Class A common stock and warrants
        be traded separately until we have filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC containing an audited balance sheet reflecting
        our receipt of the gross proceeds at the closing of this offering. We will file the Current Report on Form 8-K promptly after
        the closing of this offering, which closing is anticipated to take place three business days from the date of this prospectus.
        If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised following the initial filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K,
        a second or amended Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise
        of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

Exercisability
Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of our Class A common stock and only whole warrants are exercisable.
We structured each unit to contain one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A common stock, as compared to units issued by some other similar blank check companies which contain whole warrants exercisable for one whole share, in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of an initial business combination as compared to units that each contain a warrant to purchase one whole share, thus making us, we believe, a more attractive initial business combination partner for target businesses.
Exercise price
$11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. In addition, if (x) we issue additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the "Newly Issued Price"), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such price, the "Market Value") is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under "Redemption of warrants" will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
(1)
Assumes no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and the forfeiture by our initial stockholders of 562,500 founder shares.
(2)
Includes up to 562,500 shares that are subject to forfeiture by our initial stockholders depending on the extent to which the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised.
(3)
The shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described below adjacent to the caption "Founder shares conversion and anti-dilution rights."
12
Exercise period
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of:
·
30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, or
·
12 months from the closing of this offering;
provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement).
We are not registering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60
th
business day after the closing of our initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation; provided, however, that the private placement warrants issued to our sponsor will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to us and not placed in the trust account.
13
Redemption of warrants
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants), including any outstanding warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to Maxim Group LLC and/or its designees:
·
in whole and not in part;
·
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
·
upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption, which we refer to as the 30-day redemption period; and
·
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.
We will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of
Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in this offering.
14
If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a "cashless basis." In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a "cashless basis," our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" shall mean the volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Securities — Redeemable Warrants — Public Stockholders' Warrants" for additional information.
None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees.
15
Hudson Bay Indication of Interest
Hudson Bay has indicated an interest in purchasing, directly or indirectly, up to 3,000,000 units in this offering at the public offering price. However, indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase and Hudson Bay may decide not to purchase any units in this offering. In addition, the underwriters could determine to sell fewer units to Hudson Bay than they indicated an interest in purchasing or could determine not to sell any units to Hudson Bay.
Founder shares
In April 2010, an affiliate of our sponsor purchased an aggregate
of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344 shares of our common stock
to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited 257,649 shares of our common
stock. In February 2020, we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify as a "reorganization"
under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares, which represented all of the
common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and we created a new Class A common
stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares.
On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company for no consideration,
and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B Common Stock for a purchase
price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). The number of founder shares issued and outstanding was determined
based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after this offering (not including
the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). As such, our initial stockholders will collectively
own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after this offering (assuming they do not purchase any units in this offering and
not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). Neither our sponsor nor any of our
officers or directors have expressed an intention to purchase any units in this offering. Up to 562,500 founder shares will be
subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies on a pro rata basis depending on the extent to which the underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised so that our initial stockholders will maintain ownership of 20% of our common stock after this
offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). We will effect a stock
dividend or share contribution prior to this offering should the size of the offering change, in order to maintain such ownership
percentage.
16
The founder shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units being sold in this offering, except that:
·
the
        founder shares are shares of Class B common stock that automatically convert into shares of our Class A common stock
        at the time of our initial business combination, or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis,
        subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights, as described herein;
·
the
        founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below;
·
our sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have entered
into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their
founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination,
(ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection
with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the
substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders'
rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust
account with respect to their founder shares and placement shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within
24 months from the closing of this offering, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account
with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time
frame. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public
shares.
17
·
pursuant
        to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have agreed to vote any founder shares and private
        placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and
        privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder
        shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business combination. If we submit our initial business
        combination to our public stockholders for a vote, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of
        the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. As a result, in addition
        to our initial stockholders' founder shares, we would need only 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares
        sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination (assuming all outstanding shares are voted; or
        588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted and assuming our sponsor,
        officers, directors and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after this offering) in order to have our initial
        business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised); and
·
the
        founder shares are entitled to registration rights.
18
Transfer restrictions on founder shares
Our initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign
or sell any of their founder shares, until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of our initial business
combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our Class A
common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination,
or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results
in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (except
as described herein under the section of this prospectus entitled "Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers
of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units"), which exceptions include
in each case
(a) to our officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of our officers or directors, any affiliate of our
sponsor or other initial stockholders, any members of our initial stockholders, or any of their affiliates, officers, directors,
direct and indirect equityholders, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual's immediate
family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual's immediate family or an affiliate of such person,
or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death
of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private
sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which
the securities were originally purchased; (f) in the event of our liquidation prior to the completion of our initial business
combination; or (g) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or the limited liability company agreements of our initial stockholders
upon dissolution of such holder
. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements
of our initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares. We refer to such transfer restrictions throughout this prospectus
as the lock-up.
Founder shares conversion and anti-dilution rights
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert
into shares of our Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination or at any time prior thereto at the
option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock,
or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in this prospectus and related to the closing
of the initial business combination, including pursuant to a specified future issuance, the ratio at which shares of Class B
common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, including
a specified future issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of
Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares
of common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying
the private placement units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued
in connection with the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued,
to any seller in the initial business combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to our initial stockholders
or their affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us). The term "equity-linked securities" refers to any debt or
equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock issued in a financing
transaction in connection with our initial business combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or
debt. Securities could be "deemed issued" for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable
upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities.
19
Voting Rights
Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote per share.
Private placement units and underlying securities
Our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies have agreed to purchase
an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised
in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised
in full), which units are comprised of one share of Class A common stock and one half warrant, each warrant exercisable to
purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, in a private placement that will close simultaneously
with the closing of this offering. Each private placement warrant is identical to the warrants sold in this offering except that
so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may
not (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions,
be transferred, assigned or sold by our initial stockholders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination,
(iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (iv) will be entitled to registration rights and (v) for
so long as they are held by our sponsor, will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). A portion of the purchase
price of the private placement units will be added to the proceeds from this offering to be held in the trust account such that
at the time of closing, $10.00 per unit sold in this offering will be held in the trust account. If we do not complete our initial
business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units
held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law)
and the private placement units will expire worthless.
20
Transfer restrictions
on private placement units and underlying securities
The private placement warrants and the shares
of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or
salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except as described under the section of this
prospectus entitled "Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units").
Cashless exercise of private placement warrants
If holders of private placement warrants elect to exercise them
on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A
common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock
underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value"
(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" shall mean the average volume weighted average
last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the
date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. We have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable
on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees because it is not known
at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with
us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place
that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when
insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material
non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result,
we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.
Proceeds to be held in trust account
Nasdaq rules provide that at least 90% of the gross proceeds from this offering and the sale of the private placement units must be deposited in a trust account. Of the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, $150,000,000, or $10.00 per unit ($172,500,000, or $10.00 per unit, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be placed into a trust account in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
21
Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in
the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the private
placement units  will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (a) the completion of our initial
business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to
amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem
100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering
or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-business combination activity, and
(c) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from
the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the
claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders.
Anticipated expenses and funding sources
Except as described above with respect to the payment of taxes
from interest, unless and until we complete our initial business combination, no proceeds held in the trust account will be available
for our use. The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 180
days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest
only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. We will disclose in each quarterly and annual report filed with the SEC prior
to our initial business combination whether the proceeds deposited in the trust account are invested in U.S. government treasury
obligations or money market funds or a combination thereof. Based upon current interest rates, we expect the trust account to generate
approximately $0.22 million of interest annually assuming an interest rate of 0.16% per year; however, we can provide no assurances
regarding this amount. Unless and until we complete our initial business combination, we may pay our expenses only from:
·
the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private
placement units not held in the trust account, which will be approximately $875,000 in working capital after the payment of approximately
$780,000 in expenses relating to this offering; and
·
any loans or additional investments from our initial stockholders,
members of our management team or their affiliates or other third parties, although they are under no obligation to advance additional
funds or invest in us, and provided that any such loans will not have any claim on the proceeds held in the trust account unless
such proceeds are released to us upon completion of an initial business combination.
Conditions to completing our initial business combination
So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors will make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of a target's assets or prospects. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds privately, including pursuant to any specified future issuance, or through loans in connection with our initial business combination.
22
We anticipate structuring our initial business combination either (i) in such a way so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses, or (ii) in such a way so that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders, or for other reasons, including an Affiliated Joint Acquisition as described above. However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq's 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking stockholder approval, as applicable.
Permitted purchases of public shares and public warrants by our affiliates
If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination
and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our initial
stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public warrants in privately negotiated
transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. There is no
limit on the number of shares our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such
transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions
to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such
transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed
to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We do not currently anticipate that such
purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private
transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of
any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Any such purchases
will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject
to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants
in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination. See "Proposed Business — Permitted purchases
of our securities" for a description of how our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates
will select which stockholders to purchase securities from in any private transaction.
23
The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
Redemption rights for public stockholders upon completion of our initial business combination
We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity
to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation
of our initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released
to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The
amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share. There will be no redemption rights upon the
completion of our initial business combination with respect to our warrants. Our sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have
entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any
founder shares or private placement shares held by them and any public shares they may acquire during or after this offering in
connection with the completion of our initial business combination or otherwise. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms
except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public shares.
We may require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name," to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents or proxy materials mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company's DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder's option. The tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements.
24
Manner of conducting redemptions
We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek stockholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirements. Under Nasdaq rules, asset acquisitions and stock purchases would not typically require stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding common stock or seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would require stockholder approval. We may conduct redemptions without a stockholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC unless stockholder approval is required by law or stock exchange listing requirements or we choose to seek stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with such rules.
If a stockholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation:
·
conduct
        the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and
·
file
        tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial
        and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the
        Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
Such provisions may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to vote thereon.
Whether or not we maintain our registration under the Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq, we will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares by one of the two methods listed above. Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
25
In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public stockholders not tendering more than a specified number of public shares, which number will be based on the requirement that we will only redeem our public shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. If public stockholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirements, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, we will:
·
conduct
        the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation
        of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and
·
file
        proxy materials with the SEC.
If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding
    shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. A quorum for such meeting will consist
    of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company representing a majority of
    the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such meeting. Our initial
    stockholders will count towards this quorum and, pursuant to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers, directors, and
    Nautilus have agreed to vote their founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares purchased during or after
    this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination.
    HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business
    combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock voted, non-votes will
    have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result, in addition to our
    initial stockholders' founder shares, we would need only 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares sold in
    this offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination (assuming all outstanding shares are voted; or
    588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted and assuming our sponsor,
    officers, directors and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after this offering) in order to have our initial
    business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised). We intend to give approximately 30 days
    (but not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days) prior written notice of any such meeting, if required, at which a vote
    shall be taken to approve our initial business combination. These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of
    our initial stockholders, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each public
    stockholder may elect to redeem its public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed
    transaction.
26
We may require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name," to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming public stockholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial business combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates delivered, or shares tendered electronically, by public stockholders who elected to redeem their shares.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that we will only redeem our public shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. For example, the proposed initial business combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
Limitation on redemption rights of stockholders holding more than 25% of the shares sold in this offering if we hold stockholder vote
Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering, without our prior consent. We believe the restriction described above will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to redeem their shares as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights against an initial business combination if such holder's shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders' ability to redeem to no more than 25% of the shares sold in this offering, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including all shares held by those stockholders that hold more than 25% of the shares sold in this offering) for or against our initial business combination.
27
Redemption rights in connection with proposed amendments to our certificate of incorporation
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that any of its provisions
    related to pre-business combination activity (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of this offering and the private
    placement of warrants into the trust account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide
    redemption rights to public stockholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common
    stock entitled to vote thereon, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our
    trust account may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to vote thereon. In all other
    instances, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may be amended by holders of a majority of our outstanding
    common stock entitled to vote thereon, subject to applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, or
    applicable stock exchange rules. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we may not issue additional
    securities that can vote with common stockholders on matters related to our pre-initial business combination activity, on any
    amendment to certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or on our initial business
    combination, or that would entitle holders thereof to receive funds from the trust account. Our initial stockholders, who
    will collectively beneficially own approximately 20% of our common stock upon the closing of this offering (assuming they do
    not purchase any units in this offering and not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private
    placement units), will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and/or trust
    agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. Our sponsor, officers, directors, and certain
    affiliates have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and
    restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our
    public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or
    (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-business combination activity,
    unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock upon
    approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
    trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding
    public shares. Our sponsor, officers, directors and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which
    they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public
    shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public shares.
Release of funds in trust account on closing of our initial business combination
On the completion of our initial business combination, the funds held in the trust account will be used to pay amounts due to any public stockholders who exercise their redemption rights as described above under "Redemption rights for public stockholders upon completion of our initial business combination." We will use the remaining funds to pay all or a portion of the consideration payable to the target or owners of the target of our initial business combination and to pay other expenses associated with our initial business combination, including the cash fee payable to Maxim pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement described under "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Business Combination Marketing Agreement," which fee we refer to throughout this prospectus as the marketing fee. If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our Class A common stock, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of post-transaction businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.
28
Redemption of public shares and distribution and liquidation if no initial business combination
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides
        that we will have only 24 months  from the closing of this offering to complete our initial business
        combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within such 24-month period, we will: (i) cease
        all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business
        days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
        in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay
        our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares,
        which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further
        liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
        redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in
        each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
        There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we
        fail to complete our initial business combination within the 24-month time period.
Our sponsor, officers, directors, Nautilus and HB
        Strategies have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating
        distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail
        to complete our initial business combination within 24 months  from the closing of this
        offering. However, if our initial stockholders acquire public shares in or after this offering, they will be entitled to
        liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial
        business combination within the allotted 24-month time period.
29
Limited payments to insiders
There will be no finder's fees, reimbursement, consulting fee, non-cash payments, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation paid by us to our sponsor, officers or directors, or any affiliate of our sponsor or officers prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is) other than the following payments, none of which will be made from the proceeds of this offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
·
Repayment
        of up to an aggregate of $300,000 in loans made to us by certain initial stockholders of ours, which such holders have
        committed to cover offering-related and organizational expenses;
·
Reimbursement
        for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination;
·
Repayment
        of loans which may be made by  certain initial stockholders of ours to finance transaction
        costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the terms of which have not been determined nor have any written
        agreements been executed with respect thereto. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days
        after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units, at
        a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in the units would be identical to the private placement
        warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period;
·
Payment
        to Maxim of its underwriting discount, marketing fee, fees for any financial advisory, placement agency or other similar investment
        banking services Maxim may provide to our company in the future, and reimbursement of Maxim for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred
        by it in connection with the performance of such services; and
·
Payment
        to our sponsor, an affiliate of Maxim, of $5,750 per month for up to 24 months, for office
        space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.
Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.
Audit Committee
We will establish and maintain an audit committee, which will initially be composed of three  independent directors, to, among other things, monitor compliance with the terms described above and the other terms relating to this offering. If any noncompliance is identified, then the audit committee will be charged with the responsibility to immediately take all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise to cause compliance with the terms of this offering.  For more information, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Management — Committees of the Board of Directors — Audit Committee."
30
Conflicts of Interest
Our sponsor is controlled by Maxim. Therefore, we are
        deemed to be an affiliate of Maxim, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or FINRA. As a result, Maxim is
        deemed to have a "conflict of interest" under Rule 5121(f)(5) of the Conduct Rules of FINRA.
        Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with Rule 5121 of FINRA's Conduct Rules, which prohibits
        Maxim from making sales to discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the account holder and requires that
        a "qualified independent underwriter," as defined by FINRA participate in the preparation of the registration
        statement and exercise the usual standard of due diligence with respect to such document. We have engaged Roth Capital
        Partners, LLC, or Roth Capital, to be the qualified independent underwriter and participate in the preparation of the
        registration statement and exercise the usual standards of "due diligence" in respect thereto. We agreed to pay
        Roth Capital a fee of $100,000 upon the completion of this offering in consideration for its services and
        expenses as the qualified independent underwriter.
Investment ideas generated within Maxim and its affiliates may
        be suitable for both us and for a current or future Maxim fund or separate account or client advised by Maxim or their affiliates
        and may be directed to such investment vehicle, fund or client rather than to us. Neither Maxim (or its affiliates) nor members
        of our management team who are also employed by or provide services to Maxim (or its affiliates) have any obligation to present
        us with any opportunity for a potential business combination of which they become aware, unless presented to such member solely
        in his or her capacity as an officer of the company. Maxim and/or our management, in their capacities as employees of Maxim (or
        its affiliates) or in their other endeavors, currently are required to present certain investment opportunities and potential business
        combinations to the various related entities described herein, current Maxim investment vehicles, or third parties, before they
        present such opportunities to us. Maxim  may have similar obligations to future investment vehicles or third
        parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, at our option, pursue a business combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with Maxim and/or one or more investors in funds or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim, which we refer to as an "Affiliated Joint Acquisition." Any such parties would co-invest only if (i) permitted by applicable regulatory and other legal limitations; (ii) we and Maxim considered a transaction to be mutually beneficial to us as well as the affiliated entity; and (iii) other business reasons exist to do so, such as the strategic merits of including such co-investors, the need for additional capital beyond the amount held in our trust account to fund the initial business combination and/or the desire to obtain committed capital for closing the initial business combination. Such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination by making a specified future issuance to any such fund or vehicle.
31
Indemnity
Each of our sponsor and Nautilus has agreed that it will be severally liable to us, on a pro rata
    basis based on the number of founder shares owned by them, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services
    rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent,
    confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to
    below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust
    account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value
    of the trust assets, less interest released to pay taxes, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a
    third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust
    account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters
    of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our
    sponsor or Nautilus to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor
    or Nautilus have sufficient funds to satisfy such indemnity obligations and believe that the only assets of our sponsor and
    Nautilus are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor or Nautilus would be able to satisfy
    those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without
    limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Risks
We are a company that has conducted no
operations and has generated no revenues. Until we complete our initial business combination, we will have no operations and will
generate no operating revenues. In making your decision whether to invest in our securities, you should take into account not only
the background of our management team, but also the special risks we face as a blank check company. This offering is not being
conducted in compliance with Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, you will not be entitled to protections
normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings. For additional information concerning how Rule 419
blank check offerings differ from this offering, please see the section of this prospectus entitled "Proposed Business —
Comparison of This Offering to Those of Blank Check Companies Subject to Rule 419." You should carefully consider these
and the other risks set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 34 of
this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves
a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained
in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our units. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial
condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could
decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
We are a company with no operating history and no revenues,
and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.
We were incorporated on January 4,
2010 as a vehicle to pursue a business combination with an existing company. We have made no efforts to identify a possible
business combination. As such, we are a company with no operating results, and we will not commence operations until
obtaining funding through this offering. Because we lack an operating history, you have no basis upon which to evaluate our
ability to achieve our business objective of completing our initial business combination with one or more target businesses.
We have no plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective target business concerning an initial business
combination and may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we fail to complete our initial business
combination, we will never generate any operating revenues.
Our independent registered public accounting firm's
report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a "going concern."
As of June 30, 2020, we had $2,043
in cash and deferred offering costs of $0. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit
of our financing and acquisition plans. Management's plans to address this need for capital through this offering are discussed
in the section of this prospectus titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations." We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be
successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to consummate
this offering or our inability to continue as a going concern.
Our public stockholders may not be afforded an opportunity
to vote on our proposed initial business combination, which means we may complete our initial business combination even though
a majority of our public stockholders do not support such a combination.
We may choose not to hold a stockholder
vote to approve our initial business combination unless the initial business combination would require stockholder approval under
applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements or if we decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons.
Except as required by law, the decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination
or will allow stockholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will
be based on a variety of factors, such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise
require us to seek stockholder approval. Accordingly, we may complete our initial business combination even if holders of a majority
of our public shares do not approve of the initial business combination we complete. Please see the section of this prospectus
entitled "Proposed Business — Stockholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination"
for additional information.
34
If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination,
our sponsor, officers, directors, and certain affiliates have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless
of how our public stockholders vote.
Pursuant to the letter agreement, our
sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have agreed to vote their founder shares, private placement shares, as well as any
public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions), in
favor of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares
in favor of our initial business combination. As a result, in addition to our initial stockholders' founder shares, we
would need 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an initial
business combination (assuming all outstanding shares are voted; or 588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of
shares representing a quorum are voted and assuming
our sponsor,
officers and directors, Nautilus and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after this offering
) in order to
have our initial business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised). Our initial
stockholders will own shares representing 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the completion
of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). Accordingly,
if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, the agreement by our initial stockholders (other than HB
Strategies) to vote in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive the
requisite stockholder approval for such initial business combination.
Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding
a potential business combination will be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash, unless we
seek stockholder approval of the initial business combination.
At the time of your investment in us, you
will not be provided with an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of our initial business combination. Since our
board of directors may complete an initial business combination without seeking stockholder approval, public stockholders may not
have the right or opportunity to vote on the initial business combination, unless we seek such stockholder vote.
Accordingly, if we do not seek stockholder
approval, your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to
exercising your redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in our tender offer
documents mailed to our public stockholders in which we describe our initial business combination.
The ability of our public stockholders to redeem their shares
for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for
us to enter into an initial business combination with a target.
We may seek to enter into an initial business
combination agreement with a prospective target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
amount of cash. If too many public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able to meet such closing condition
and, as a result, would not be able to proceed with the initial business combination. Furthermore, we will only redeem our public
shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon
completion of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules)
or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business
combination. Consequently, if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would cause our net tangible assets to be less
than $5,000,001 or such greater amount necessary to satisfy a closing condition, each as described above, we would not proceed
with such redemption and the related business combination and may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective
targets will be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into an initial business combination with us.
35
The ability of our public stockholders to exercise redemption
rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize
our capital structure.
At the time we enter into an agreement
for our initial business combination, we will not know how many stockholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore
will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption.
If our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the trust account to pay the purchase
price, or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, we will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the trust account
to meet such requirements, or arrange for third party financing. In addition, if a larger number of shares is submitted for redemption
than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the trust account
or arrange for third party financing. Raising additional third party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence
of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution
provision of the Class B common stock result in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon
conversion of the Class B common stock at the time of our business combination. The above considerations may limit our ability
to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure.
The ability of our public stockholders to exercise redemption
rights with respect to a large number of our shares could increase the probability that our initial business combination would
be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your stock.
If our initial business combination agreement
requires us to use a portion of the cash in the trust account to pay the purchase price, or requires us to have a minimum amount
of cash at closing, the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful is increased. If our initial business
combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the trust account until we liquidate the trust account.
If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your stock in the open market; however, at such time our stock
may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the trust account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss
on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with our redemption until we liquidate or you are able to
sell your stock in the open market.
The requirement that we complete our initial business combination
within the prescribed time frame may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating an initial business combination
and may decrease our ability to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets, in particular as we approach our
dissolution deadline, which could undermine our ability to complete our initial business combination on terms that would produce
value for our stockholders.
Any potential target business with which
we enter into negotiations concerning an initial business combination will be aware that we must complete our initial business
combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering. Consequently, such target business
may obtain leverage over us in negotiating an initial business combination, knowing that if we do not complete our initial business
combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target
business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct
due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive
investigation.
We may not be able to complete our initial business combination
within the prescribed time frame, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would
redeem our public shares and liquidate, in which case our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, or less than such
amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that we must complete our initial business combination within 24 months  from
the closing of this offering. We may not be able to find a suitable target business and complete our initial business combination
within such time period. Our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market
conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein.
If we have not completed our initial business
combination within such time period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held
in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders'
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and
(iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders
and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims
of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share,
and our warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share
on the redemption of their shares. See "— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust
account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share"
and other risk factors below.
Our search for a business combination, and any target business
with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19)
outbreak and the status of debt and equity markets, as well as protectionist legislation in our target markets.
In December 2019, a novel strain
of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other
parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak
of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern." On January 31, 2020,
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare
community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a
"pandemic". This outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has and may continue to
adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we
may consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete a
business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with
potential investors or the target company's personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate
a transaction in a timely manner. In addition, countries or supranational organizations in our target markets may develop and
implement legislation that makes it more difficult or impossible for entities outside such countries or target markets to acquire
or otherwise invest in companies or businesses deemed essential or otherwise vital. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts
our search for and ability to consummate a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain
and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to
contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global
concern continue for an extensive period of time, and result in protectionist sentiments and legislation in our target markets,
our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a
business combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent
on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by COVID-19 and other events.
36
If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination,
our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or warrants from public stockholders,
which may influence a vote on a proposed initial business combination and reduce the public "float" of our Class A
common stock or warrants.
If we seek stockholder approval of our
initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public warrants or
a combination thereof in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of
our initial business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. However, they have no current commitments, plans
or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of
the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions.
Such a purchase may include a contractual
acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof
and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their
affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their
redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose
of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood
of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination, or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a
target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination,
where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be
to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for
approval in connection with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion
of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to
Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.
In addition, if such purchases are made,
the public "float" of our Class A common stock or public warrants and the number of beneficial holders of our
securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities
on a national securities exchange.
If a stockholder fails to receive notice of our offer to
redeem our public shares in connection with our initial business combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering
its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.
We will comply with the tender offer rules or
proxy rules, as applicable, when conducting redemptions in connection with our initial business combination. Despite our compliance
with these rules, if a stockholder fails to receive our tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, such stockholder may not
become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that
we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will describe the various procedures
that must be complied with in order to validly tender or redeem public shares. For example, we may require our public stockholders
seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name,"
to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents mailed to such
holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination in the event
we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically. In the event that a stockholder
fails to comply with these or any other procedures, its shares may not be redeemed. See the section of this prospectus entitled
 "Proposed Business — Redemption Rights for Public Stockholders upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination
 — Tendering Stock Certificates in Connection with a Tender Offer or Redemption Rights."
37
You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the
trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your
public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.
Our public stockholders will be entitled
to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination,
and then only in connection with those shares of Class A common stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject
to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder
vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation
to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of
this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination
activity and (iii) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within
24 months from the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances
will a public stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. Holders of warrants will not have any right
to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced
to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.
Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange,
which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
We have applied to have our units listed
on Nasdaq. We expect that our units will be listed on Nasdaq on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. Following the date
the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants are eligible to trade separately, we anticipate that the shares of our
Class A common stock and warrants will be separately listed on Nasdaq. We cannot guarantee that our securities will be approved
for listing on Nasdaq. Although after giving effect to this offering we expect to meet, on a pro forma basis, the minimum initial
listing standards set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards, we cannot assure you that our securities will be, or will continue
to be, listed on Nasdaq in the future or prior to our initial business combination. In order to continue listing our securities
on Nasdaq prior to our initial business combination, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels. Generally,
we must maintain a minimum amount in stockholders' equity (generally $2,500,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities
(generally 300 public holders). Additionally, in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to demonstrate
compliance with Nasdaq's initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq's continued listing requirements,
in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. For instance, our stock price would generally be required
to be at least $4.00 per share, our stockholders' equity would generally be required to be at least $5.0 million and we would
be required to have a minimum of 300 round lot holders (with at least 50% of such round lot holders holding securities with a market
value of at least $2,500) of our securities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements
at that time.
If Nasdaq delists any of our securities
from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, we expect such
securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences,
including:
·
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
·
reduced liquidity for our securities;
38
·
a determination that our Class A common stock is a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in our Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
·
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
·
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
The National Securities Markets Improvement
Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which
are referred to as "covered securities." Because we expect that our units and eventually our Class A common stock
and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq, our units, Class A common stock and warrants will be covered securities. Although the
states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies
if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale
of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict
the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view
blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities
of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities
and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities, including in connection with our initial
business combination.
You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded
to investors of many other blank check companies.
Since the net proceeds of this offering
and the sale of the private placement units are intended to be used to complete an initial business combination with a target business
that has not been identified, we may be deemed to be a "blank check" company under the United States securities laws.
However, because we will have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 upon the successful completion of this offering and the
sale of the private placement units and will file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including an audited balance sheet demonstrating
this fact, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419.
Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this means our units
will be immediately tradable and we may have a longer period of time to consummate an initial business combination. Moreover, if
this offering were subject to Rule 419, that rule would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in
the trust account to us unless and until the funds in the trust account were released to us in connection with our completion of
an initial business combination. For a more detailed comparison of our offering to offerings that comply with Rule 419, please
see the section of this prospectus entitled "Proposed Business — Comparison of This Offering to Those of Blank Check
Companies Subject to Rule 419."
If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination
and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, and if you or a "group" of stockholders are deemed
to hold in excess of 25% of our Class A common stock, you will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 25%
of our Class A common stock.
If we seek stockholder approval of our
initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public stockholder, together
with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group"
(as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more
than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering without our prior consent, which we refer to as the "Excess
Shares." However, we would not be restricting our stockholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess
Shares) for or against our initial business combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence
over our ability to complete our initial business combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if
you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to
the Excess Shares if we complete our initial business combination. And as a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares
exceeding 25% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially
at a loss.
39
Because of our limited resources and the significant competition
for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are
unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on
our redemption of our public shares, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.
We expect to encounter intense competition
from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment
partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many
of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or
indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess
greater technical, human and other resources or more industry knowledge than we do, and our financial resources will be relatively
limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could
potentially acquire with the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, our ability to compete
with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available financial resources.
This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore,
because we are obligated to pay cash for the shares of Class A common stock which our public stockholders redeem in connection
with our initial business combination, target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to us for our
initial business combination. This may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per
share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless. In certain
circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation. See "— If third
parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received
by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share" and other risk factors below.
If the net proceeds of this offering, the sale of the private
placement units not being held in the trust account, are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 24 months, we
may be unable to complete our initial business combination, in which case our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share,
or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.
The funds available to us outside of the trust account, together
with the loan committed by our initial stockholders for working capital, may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least
the next 24 months, assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We believe that, upon the
closing of this offering, the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate for
at least the next 24 months; however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. Of the funds available to us, we could
use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could
also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a "no-shop" provision (a provision in letters of intent
or merger agreements designed to keep target businesses from "shopping" around for transactions with other companies
on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed initial business combination, although
we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the
right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of
our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to,
a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately
$10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.
In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation. See "—
If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption
amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share" and other risk factors below.
40
If the net proceeds of this offering, the sale of the private
placement units not being held in the trust account and the loan committed by our sponsor for working capital are insufficient,
it could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination
and we will depend on additional loans from our sponsor or management team to fund our search for an initial business combination,
to pay our taxes and to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain these loans, we may be unable to
complete our initial business combination.
Of the net proceeds of this offering and
the sale of the private placement units, only approximately $875,000 will be available to us initially outside the trust account
to fund our working capital requirements. In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $780,000, we may fund
such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the
trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. The amount held in the trust account will not be impacted as a result of
such increase or decrease. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $780,000, the amount
of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount. If we are required to seek additional
capital, we would need to borrow funds from our initial stockholders, management team or other third parties to operate or may
be forced to liquidate. None of our initial stockholders, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any
obligation to advance additional funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside
the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans
(only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part) may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.
Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor,
an affiliate of our sponsor and certain other initial stockholders affiliated with us as we do not believe third parties will be
willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. If we
are unable to obtain these loans, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our
initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and
liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on our redemption
of our public shares, and our warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less
than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. See "— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds
held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00
per share" and other risk factors below.
Subsequent to the completion of our initial business combination,
we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant
negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all
of your investment.
Even if we conduct extensive due diligence
on a target business with which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may
be present inside a particular target business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount
of due diligence, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of
these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other
charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected
risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even
though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of
this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may
cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a
target business or by virtue of our obtaining debt financing to partially finance the initial business combination. Accordingly,
any securityholders who choose to remain securityholders following the initial business combination could suffer a reduction in
the value of their securities. Such securityholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able
to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary
duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation
or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the initial business combination constituted an actionable material misstatement
or omission.
41
If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held
in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per
share.
Our placing of funds in the trust account
may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective
target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, such parties may not
execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the trust
account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well
as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against
our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims
to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only
enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's
engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Marcum LLP, our
independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the offering, will not execute agreements with us waiving
such claims to the monies held in the trust account.
Examples of possible instances where we
may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise
or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver
or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee
that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations,
contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public
shares, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of
a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of
creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share
redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the trust account,
due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to the letter agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part, each of our sponsor and Nautilus has agreed that it will be severally liable to
us, on a pro rata basis based on the number of their founder shares, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services
rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of
(i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the
liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes
payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed
a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it
apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor or Nautilus to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor
have we independently verified whether they have sufficient funds to satisfy such indemnity obligations and believe that the only
assets of our sponsor and Nautilus are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor or Nautilus
would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including,
without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification
obligations of our sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to
our public stockholders.
In the event that the proceeds in the trust
account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the trust account
as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust
assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy
its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine
whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.
While we currently expect that our independent
directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible
that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do
so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high
relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent
directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution
to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.
42
We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification
claims of our directors and officers.
We have agreed to indemnify our officers
and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account and to not seek recourse against the trust account for any
reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient
funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination. Our obligation to indemnify our
officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their
fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers
and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's
investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors
pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account
to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not
dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.
If, after we distribute the proceeds in
the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against
us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy
laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance." As a result, a bankruptcy court
could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached
its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages,
by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.
If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account
to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not
dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount
that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.
If, before distributing the proceeds in
the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against
us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included
in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent
any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection
with our liquidation may be reduced.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment
Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may
make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
If we are deemed to be an investment company
under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:
·
restrictions on the nature of our investments; and
·
restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome
requirements, including:
·
registration as an investment company;
43
·
adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and
·
reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.
In order not to be regulated as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily
in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting,
owning, holding or trading "investment securities" constituting more than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S.
government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business will be to identify and complete an initial business
combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses
or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive
investor.
We do not believe that our anticipated
principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account may only
be invested in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated
under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement,
the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments,
and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling
businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an "investment company"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. This offering is not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments
in government securities or investment securities. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest
to occur of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly
submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify
the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders'
rights or pre-initial business combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial business combination within 24 months from
the closing of this offering, our return of the funds held in the trust account to our public stockholders as part of our redemption
of the public shares. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company
Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require
additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete an initial business combination
or may result in our liquidation. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive
only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants
will expire worthless.
Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with
any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business
combination and results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations
enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal
requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly.
Those laws and regulations and their interpretation
and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments
and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination
and results of operations.
44
Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties
against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.
Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held
liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The
pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event
we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering may be considered a liquidating
distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended
to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party
claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and
an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, 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 be barred after the third anniversary of
the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the 18th month
from the closing of this offering in the event we do not complete our initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend
to comply with the foregoing procedures.
Because we will not be complying with Section 280,
Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for
our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the 10 years following
our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited
to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers,
investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. 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 cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be
potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions
received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore,
if the pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in
the event we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering is not considered
a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the
imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant
to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful
redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.
We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after
the consummation of our initial business combination, which could delay the opportunity for our stockholders to elect directors.
In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance
requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until no later than one year after our first fiscal year end following
our listing on Nasdaq. Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, we are, however, required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders
for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with our bylaws unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of
such a meeting. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of our initial
business combination, and thus we may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual
meeting. Therefore, if our stockholders want us to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation of our initial business combination,
they may attempt to force us to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of
the DGCL.
45
We are not registering the shares of Class A common
stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time, and such registration
may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise its
warrants except on a cashless basis. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of warrants is not registered, qualified or exempt
from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may
have no value and expire worthless.
We are not registering the shares of Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time. However,
under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days
after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC
a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective
within 60 business days following our initial business combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of
the warrant agreement. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained
or incorporated by reference therein are not current or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise
of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on
a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue
any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or
qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding
the above, if our Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange
such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act,
we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis"
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file
or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable best
efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event
will we be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the
event that we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and there
is no exemption available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt
from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may
have no value and expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have
paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of Class A common stock included in the units. If and when the warrants
become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the
warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such
registration or qualification. We will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common
stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in this offering.
However, there may be instances in which holders of our public warrants may be unable to exercise such public warrants but holders
of our private placement warrants may be able to exercise such private placement warrants.
If you exercise your public warrants on a "cashless
basis," you will receive fewer shares of Class A common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants
for cash.
There are circumstances in which the exercise
of the public warrants may be required or permitted to be made on a cashless basis. First, if a registration statement covering
the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after
the closing of our initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement,
exercise warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
Second, if our Class A common stock is at any time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange
such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act,
we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a cashless basis in accordance
with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain
in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Third, if we call the
public warrants for redemption, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do
so on a cashless basis. In the event of an exercise on a cashless basis, a holder would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering
the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product
of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise
price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (as defined in the next sentence) by (y) the fair market value.
The "fair market value" is the average volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class A common
stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by
the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would
receive fewer shares of Class A common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.
46
The grant of registration rights to our initial stockholders
may make it more difficult to complete our initial business combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect
the market price of our Class A common stock.
Pursuant to an agreement to be entered
into concurrently with the issuance and sale of the securities in this offering, our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees
can demand that we register the private placement units, the private placement shares and private placement warrants, the shares
of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the founder shares or exercise of the private placement warrants held,
or to be held, by them and holders of securities that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans may demand that we
register such units or securities underlying such units. In addition, if Hudson Bay acquires units in this offering and becomes
an affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act) of us following this offering, we have agreed to file a registration statement
following this offering to register the resale of the units (including the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included
in the units) purchased by Hudson Bay (or its nominee) in this offering. We will bear the cost of registering these securities.
The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse
effect on the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, the existence of the registration rights may make our
initial business combination more costly or difficult to conclude. This is because the stockholders of the target business may
increase the equity stake they seek in the combined entity or ask for more cash consideration to offset the negative impact on
the market price of our Class A common stock that is expected when the securities owned by our initial stockholders or holders
of working capital loans or their respective permitted transferees are registered.
Because we are neither limited to evaluating a target business
in a particular industry sector nor have we selected any specific target businesses with which to pursue our initial business combination,
you will be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business's operations.
We are neither limited to evaluating a
target business in a particular industry sector nor have we selected any specific target businesses with which to pursue our initial
business combination, except that we will not, under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, be permitted to effectuate
our initial business combination with another blank check company or similar company with nominal operations. Because we have not
yet selected or approached any specific target business with respect to a business combination, there is no basis to evaluate the
possible merits or risks of any particular target business's operations, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financial
condition or prospects. To the extent we complete our initial business combination, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent
in the business operations with which we combine. For example, if we combine with a financially unstable business or an entity
lacking an established record of sales or earnings, we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business and operations of
a financially unstable or a development stage entity. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent
in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors
or that we will have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and
leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business. We also cannot
assure you that an investment in our units will ultimately prove to be more favorable to investors than a direct investment, if
such opportunity were available, in a business combination target. Accordingly, any securityholders who choose to remain securityholders
following our initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such securityholders are
unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to
the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully
bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the
business combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.
Past performance by Maxim (and its affiliates), including
our management team, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in the Company.
Information regarding performance by,
or businesses associated with, Maxim and its affiliates is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance by Maxim
(and its affiliates), including our management team, is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business
combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to locate a suitable candidate for our initial business combination.
You should not rely on the historical record of Maxim's (and its affiliates') or our management team's performance
as indicative of our future performance of an investment in the company or the returns the company will, or is likely to, generate
going forward.
47
We may seek business combination opportunities in industries
or sectors which may or may not be outside of our management's area of expertise.
We will consider an initial business combination
outside of our management's area of expertise if an initial business combination candidate is presented to us and we determine
that such candidate offers an attractive business combination opportunity for our company or we are unable to identify a suitable
candidate in this sector after having expanded a reasonable amount of time and effort in an attempt to do so. Although our management
will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business combination candidate, we cannot assure you that we will
adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units will
not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in this offering than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available,
in an initial business combination candidate. In the event we elect to pursue a business combination outside of the areas of our
management's expertise, our management's expertise may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and
the information contained in this prospectus regarding the areas of our management's expertise would not be relevant to an
understanding of the business that we elect to acquire. As a result, our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or
assess all of the significant risk factors. Accordingly, any securityholders who choose to remain securityholders following our
initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such securityholders are unlikely to have
a remedy for such reduction in value.
Although we have identified general criteria and guidelines
that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may enter into our initial business combination with
a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result, the target business with which we enter into our initial
business combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria and guidelines.
Although we have identified general criteria
and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that a target business with which we enter into our
initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes. If we complete our initial business combination with
a target that does not meet some or all of these criteria and guidelines, such combination may not be as successful as a combination
with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines. In addition, if we announce a prospective business combination
with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of stockholders may exercise their redemption
rights, which may make it difficult for us to meet any closing condition with a target business that requires us to have a minimum
net worth or a certain amount of cash. In addition, if stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or we decide
to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, it may be more difficult for us to attain stockholder approval
of our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and guidelines. If we are unable
to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less
in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances,
our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. See "— If third parties
bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by
stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share" and other risk factors below.
We may seek business combination opportunities with a financially
unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenue, cash flow or earnings, which could subject us to volatile
revenues, cash flows or earnings or difficulty in retaining key personnel.
To the extent we complete our initial business
combination with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, we may be
affected by numerous risks inherent in the operations of the business with which we combine. These risks include volatile revenues
or earnings and difficulties in obtaining and retaining key personnel. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate
the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not be able to properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk
factors and we may not have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control
and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business.
48
We are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm or from an independent accounting firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent
source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
Unless we complete our initial business
combination with an affiliated entity or our board cannot independently determine the fair market value of the target business
or businesses, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or
from an independent accounting firm that the price we are paying is fair to our company from a financial point of view. If no opinion
is obtained, our stockholders will be relying on the judgment of our board of directors, who will determine fair market value based
on standards generally accepted by the financial community. Such standards used will be disclosed in our proxy materials or tender
offer documents, as applicable, related to our initial business combination.
We may issue additional common stock or preferred stock
to complete our initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination.
We may also issue shares of Class A common stock upon the conversion of the Class B common stock at a ratio greater
than one-to-one at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our stockholders and likely present
other risks.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Class A
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Immediately after this offering, there will be 84,534,500 and
6,250,000 (assuming that the underwriters have not exercised their over-allotment option) authorized but unissued shares of Class A
common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, available for issuance. Immediately after the consummation of this offering,
there will be no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares
of our Class A common stock initially at a one-for-one ratio but subject to adjustment as set forth herein, including in certain
circumstances in which we issue Class A common stock or equity-linked securities related to our initial business combination.
Shares of Class B common stock are also convertible at the option of the holder at any time.
We may issue a substantial number of additional
shares of common or preferred stock to complete our initial business combination (including pursuant to a specified future issuance)
or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination (although our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation will provide that we may not issue securities that can vote with common stockholders on matters related to our
pre-initial business combination activity, on any amendment to certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
or on our initial business combination). We may also issue shares of Class A common stock upon conversion of the Class B
common stock at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution
provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. However, our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide, among other things, that prior to our initial business combination, we may not issue additional shares
of capital stock that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the trust account or (ii) vote on any
initial business combination. These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, like all provisions of
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, may be amended with the approval of our stockholders. However, our officers,
directors and director nominees have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment
to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem
100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering
or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity,
unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock upon approval of any such
amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including
interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.
49
The issuance of additional shares of common or preferred
stock:
·
may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this offering;
·
may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;
·
could cause a change of control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and
·
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A common stock and/or warrants.
Resources could be wasted in researching business combinations
that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another
business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately
$10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will
expire worthless.
We anticipate that the investigation of
each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other
instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, consultants
and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed
transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may
fail to complete our initial business combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control. Any such event
will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate
and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders
may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and
our warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on
the redemption of their shares. See "— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account
could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share" and other
risk factors below.
Our ability to successfully effect our initial business combination
and to be successful thereafter will be totally dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, some of whom may join us following
our initial business combination. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination
business.
Our ability to successfully effect our
initial business combination is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. The role of our key personnel in the target business,
however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although some of our key personnel may remain with the target business in senior management
or advisory positions following our initial business combination, it is likely that some or all of the management of the target
business will remain in place. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we employ after our initial business combination,
we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with
the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping
them become familiar with such requirements. In addition, the officers and directors of an initial business combination candidate
may resign upon completion of our initial business combination. The departure of an initial business combination target's
key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business. The role of an initial
business combination candidate's key personnel upon the completion of our initial business combination cannot be ascertained
at this time. Although we contemplate that certain members of an initial business combination candidate's management team
will remain associated with the initial business combination candidate following our initial business combination, it is possible
that members of the management of an initial business combination candidate will not wish to remain in place. The loss of key personnel
could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business.
50
We are dependent upon our officers and directors and their
departure could adversely affect our ability to operate.
Our operations are dependent upon a relatively
small group of individuals and, in particular, our officers and directors. We believe that our success depends on the continued
service of our officers and directors, at least until we have completed our initial business combination. We do not have an employment
agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of our directors or officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one
or more of our directors or officers could have a detrimental effect on us.
Our key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting
agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements may provide for them to
receive compensation following our initial business combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in
determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous.
Our key personnel may be able to remain
with the company after the completion of our initial business combination only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting
agreements in connection with the initial business combination. Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation
of the initial business combination and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments
and/or our securities for services they would render to us after the completion of the initial business combination. The personal
and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business. However,
we believe the ability of such individuals to remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination will not
be the determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we will proceed with any potential business combination. There is
no certainty, however, that any of our key personnel will remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination.
We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with us. The determination
as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with us will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
We may have a limited ability to assess the management of
a prospective target business and, as a result, may effect our initial business combination with a target business whose management
may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company, which could, in turn, negatively impact the value
of our stockholders' investment in us.
When evaluating the desirability of effecting
our initial business combination with a prospective target business, our ability to assess the target business's management
may be limited due to a lack of time, resources or information. Our assessment of the capabilities of the target's management,
therefore, may prove to be incorrect and such management may lack the skills, qualifications or abilities we suspected. Should
the target's management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company, the operations
and profitability of the post-combination business may be negatively impacted. Accordingly, any securityholders who choose to remain
securityholders following the initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such securities
are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.
Our officers and directors will allocate their time to other
businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict
of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial business combination.
Our officers and directors are not required
to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between
our operations and our search for an initial business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time
employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our officers is engaged in other business endeavors
for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of
hours per week to our affairs. Our directors and certain of our officers also serve as officers and board members for other entities.
If our officers' and directors' other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs
in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs which may have a negative
impact on our ability to complete our initial business combination. For a complete discussion of our officers' and directors'
other business affairs, please see "Management — Directors and Officers."
51
Certain of our officers and directors are now, and all of
them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted
by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and determining to which entity a particular business
opportunity should be presented.
Following the completion of this offering
and until we consummate our initial business combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with
one or more businesses. Our sponsor and officers and directors are, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities (such
as operating companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in a similar business, although our officers may not become an
officer or director of any other special purpose acquisition companies with a class of securities registered under the Exchange
Act until we have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination or we have failed to complete
our initial business combination within 24 months after the closing of this offering.
Our officers and directors also may become
aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities to which they owe certain
fiduciary or contractual duties.
Accordingly, they may have conflicts of
interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved
in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. Our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation will provide that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director
or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of
our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable
for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another
legal obligation.
For a complete discussion of our officers'
and directors' business affiliations and the potential conflicts of interest that you should be aware of, please see the
sections of this prospectus entitled "Management — Directors and Officers," "Management — Conflicts
of Interest" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions."
Our officers, directors, security holders and their respective
affiliates may have competitive pecuniary interests that conflict with our interests.
We have not adopted a policy that expressly
prohibits our directors, officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary or financial interest
in any investment to be acquired or disposed of by us or in any transaction to which we are a party or have an interest. In fact,
we may enter into an initial business combination with a target business that is affiliated with our sponsor, our directors or
officers, although we do not intend to do so, or we may acquire a target business through an Affiliated Joint Acquisition with
one or more affiliates of Maxim. We do not have a policy that expressly prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own
account in business activities of the types conducted by us. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between
their interests and ours.
We may engage in an initial business combination with one
or more target businesses that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our sponsor, officers, directors or
existing holders which may raise potential conflicts of interest.
In light of the involvement of our sponsor,
officers and directors with other entities, we may decide to acquire one or more businesses affiliated with our sponsor, officers
or directors. Our officers and directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities, including, without limitation,
those described under the section of this prospectus entitled "Management — Conflicts of Interest." Such entities
may compete with us for business combination opportunities. Our sponsor, officers and directors are not currently aware of any
specific opportunities for us to complete our initial business combination with any entities with which they are affiliated, and
there have been no preliminary discussions concerning an initial business combination with any such entity or entities. Although
we will not be specifically focusing on, or targeting, any transaction with any affiliated entities, we would pursue such a transaction
if we determined that such affiliated entity met our criteria for an initial business combination as set forth in the section of
this prospectus entitled "Proposed Business — Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of our Initial Business
Combination" and such transaction was approved by a majority of our disinterested directors. Despite our agreement to obtain
an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA, or from an independent accounting firm, regarding
the fairness to our stockholders from a financial point of view of an initial business combination with one or more domestic or
international businesses affiliated with our officers, directors or existing holders, potential conflicts of interest still may
exist and, as a result, the terms of the initial business combination may not be as advantageous to our public stockholders as
they would be absent any conflicts of interest. In order to satisfy applicable regulatory or other legal requirements applicable
to an Affiliated Joint Acquisition, our initial business combination may be effected on less favorable terms than otherwise would
apply if the initial business combination were not an Affiliated Joint Acquisition.
52
We may acquire a target business through an Affiliated Joint
Acquisition with one or more affiliates of Maxim. This may result in conflicts of interest as well as dilutive issuances of our
securities.
We may, at our option, pursue a business
combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with it and/or one or more investors in funds or
separate accounts managed or advised by it, which we refer to as an "Affiliated Joint Acquisition." Any such parties
would co-invest only if (i) permitted by applicable regulatory and other legal limitations; (ii) we and Maxim considered
a transaction to be mutually beneficial to us as well as the affiliated entity; and (iii) other business reasons exist to
do so, such as the strategic merits of including such co-investors, the need for additional capital beyond the amount held in our
trust account to fund the initial business combination and/or the desire to obtain committed capital for closing the initial business
combination. An Affiliated Joint Acquisition may be effected through a co-investment with us in the target business at the time
of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination by issuing
to such parties a class of equity or equity-linked securities. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between
their interests and ours.
In addition, any specified future issuance
in connection with Affiliated Joint Acquisition would trigger the anti-dilution provisions of our Class B common stock, which,
unless waived, would result in an adjustment to the conversion ratio of our Class B common stock such that our initial stockholders
and their permitted transferees, if any, would retain their aggregate percentage ownership at 20% of the sum of the total number
of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock
underlying the private placement units) plus all shares issued in the specified future issuance. If such adjustment is not waived
as described elsewhere in this prospectus, the specified future issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of
our Class B common stock, but would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class A common stock.
We may compete with other affiliates of Maxim for acquisition
opportunities for our company, which could negatively impact our ability to locate a suitable business combination.
Our business strategy may overlap with
some of the strategies of Maxim and certain of their other affiliates. Maxim and its affiliates specialize in financial services
for institutional and retail customers operating in diversified industries globally. Since we may pursue an acquisition in the
financial services or real estate services space, acquisition opportunities that may be of interest to us may come to those other
affiliates instead of us or may be pursued by those affiliates. Our affiliates are not restricted from competing with our business
and none of our affiliates are required to refer any such opportunities to us. Our sponsor and its affiliates face conflicts of
interest relating to performing services on our behalf and allocating investment opportunities to us, and such conflicts may not
be resolved in our favor, meaning we could find less suitable acquisition opportunities which could limit our ability to find a
business combination that we find attractive.
53
Since our sponsor, officers and directors will lose their
entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether
a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.
In April 2010, an affiliate of our sponsor
purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344
shares of our common stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited
257,649 shares of our common stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify
as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares,
which represented all of the common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and
we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares. On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock
to the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class
B Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares
held by our initial stockholders, an aggregate of up to 562,500 are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies,
on a pro rata basis, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The number of founder shares issued
and outstanding was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares
after this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). The founder
shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. In addition, our initial stockholders have committed
to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 private placement units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full), that will also be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. Our sponsor, officers,
directors, and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to vote any shares
owned by them in favor of any proposed initial business combination and (B) not to redeem any founder shares or private placement
shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote
its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business combination. In addition, we may obtain loans
from our initial stockholders, affiliates of our initial stockholders or an officer or director. The personal and financial interests
of our officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing
an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination.
Since our officers and directors will not be eligible to
be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses, and our sponsor and other initial stockholders affiliated with our officers and
directors will not be eligible to be repaid for loans they have provided to us, if our business combination is not completed, a
conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business
combination.
Our officers and directors, or any of their
respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such
as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Reimbursement for such
expenses will be paid by us out of loans by our sponsor and other initial stockholders, including certain affiliates of our officers
and directors, and interest earned on the trust account. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on our behalf. These financial interests of our sponsor, officers and directors may influence
their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination and completing an initial business combination.
We may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise
incur substantial debt, to complete an initial business combination, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition
and thus negatively impact the value of our stockholders' investment in us.
Although we have no commitments as of the
date of this prospectus to issue any notes or other debt securities, or to otherwise incur outstanding debt following this offering,
we may choose to incur substantial debt to complete our initial business combination. We have agreed that we will not incur any
indebtedness unless we have obtained from the lender a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to the monies
held in the trust account. As such, no issuance of debt will affect the per-share amount available for redemption from the trust
account. Nevertheless, the incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:
·
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
·
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
·
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;
54
·
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;
·
our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
·
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;
·
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
·
increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
·
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and
·
other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.
We may only be able to complete one business combination
with the proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a
single business which may have a limited number of services and limited operating activities. This lack of diversification may
negatively impact our operating results and profitability.
Of the net proceeds from this offering
and the sale of the private placement units, $150,000,000 (or $172,500,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full) will be available to complete our initial business combination and pay related fees and expenses.
We may effectuate our initial business
combination with a single target business or multiple target businesses simultaneously or within a short period of time. However,
we may not be able to effectuate our initial business combination with more than one target business because of various factors,
including the existence of complex accounting issues and the requirement that we prepare and file pro forma financial statements
with the SEC that present operating results and the financial condition of several target businesses as if they had been operated
on a combined basis. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may
subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations
or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to
complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. In addition, we intend
to focus our search for an initial business combination in a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be:
•
solely dependent upon the performance of a single business, property or asset, or
•
dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
This lack of diversification may subject
us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular
industry in which we may operate subsequent to our initial business combination.
We may attempt to simultaneously complete business combinations
with multiple prospective targets, which may hinder our ability to complete our initial business combination and give rise to increased
costs and risks that could negatively impact our operations and profitability.
If we determine to simultaneously acquire
several businesses that are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its
business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us,
and delay our ability, to complete our initial business combination. We do not, however, intend to purchase multiple businesses
in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial business combination. With multiple business combinations, we could also
face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence
investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation of the operations
and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business. If we are unable to adequately address these
risks, it could negatively impact our profitability and results of operations.
55
We may attempt to complete our initial business combination
with a private company about which little information is available, which may result in an initial business combination with a
company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all.
In pursuing our initial business combination
strategy, we may seek to effectuate our initial business combination with a privately held company. Very little public information
generally exists about private companies, and we could be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential initial
business combination on the basis of limited information, which may result in an initial business combination with a company that
is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all.
Our management may not be able to maintain control of a target
business after our initial business combination.
We may structure an initial business combination
so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will own less than 100% of the equity interests
or assets of a target business, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires
50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient
for us not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. We will not consider any transaction
that does not meet such criteria. Even if the post-transaction company owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the target,
our stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post business combination
company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue
a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares of Class A common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
capital stock of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of
a substantial number of new shares of common stock, our stockholders immediately prior to such transaction could own less than
a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock subsequent to such transaction. In addition, other minority stockholders may
subsequently combine their holdings resulting in a single person or group obtaining a larger share of the company's stock
than we initially acquired. Accordingly, this may make it more likely that our management will not be able to maintain our control
of the target business. We cannot provide assurance that, upon loss of control of a target business, new management will possess
the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to profitably operate such business.
We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold.
The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete an initial business combination with which a
substantial majority of our stockholders do not agree.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that we will only redeem our public shares so long
as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion of
our initial business combination  (such that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any
greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination.
As a result, we may be able to complete our initial business combination even though a substantial majority of our public stockholders
do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination
and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, have entered
into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates. In
the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly
submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business
combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem
any shares, all shares of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead
may search for an alternate business combination.

In order to effectuate an initial business combination, blank
check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and other governing instruments, including
their warrant agreements. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
or governing instruments in a manner that will make it easier for us to complete our initial business combination that our stockholders
may not support.
In order to effectuate an initial business
combination, blank check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and modified governing
instruments, including their warrant agreements. For example, blank check companies have amended the definition of business combination,
increased redemption thresholds and extended the time to consummate an initial business combination and, with respect to their
warrants, amended their warrant agreements to require the warrants to be exchanged for cash and/or other securities. Amending our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation will require the approval of holders of 65% of our common stock, and amending
our warrant agreement will require a vote of holders of at least a majority of the public warrants. In addition, our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation requires us to provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public
shares for cash if we propose an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance
or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24
months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights
or pre-initial business combination activity. To the extent any such amendments would be deemed to fundamentally change the nature
of any securities offered through this registration statement, we would register, or seek an exemption from registration for, the
affected securities. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our charter or governing instruments or extend the time
to consummate an initial business combination in order to effectuate our initial business combination.
The provisions of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation that relate to our pre-business combination activity (and corresponding provisions of the agreement governing the
release of funds from our trust account), including an amendment to permit us to withdraw funds from the trust account such that
the per share amount investors will receive upon any redemption or liquidation is substantially reduced or eliminated, may be amended
with the approval of holders of 65% of our common stock, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other blank check
companies. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the trust agreement
to facilitate the completion of an initial business combination that some of our stockholders may not support.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide that any of its provisions related to pre-initial business combination activity (including the requirement
to deposit proceeds of this offering and the private placement of warrants into the trust account and not release such amounts
except in specified circumstances, and to provide redemption rights to public stockholders as described herein and including to
permit us to withdraw funds from the trust account such that the per share amount investors will receive upon any redemption or
liquidation is substantially reduced or eliminated) may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to
vote thereon, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our trust account may be
amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to vote thereon. In all other instances, our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation may be amended by holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon,
subject to applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules. We may not issue additional securities that can
vote with common stockholders on matters related to our pre-initial business combination activity, on any amendment to certain
provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or on our initial business combination. Our initial stockholders,
who will collectively beneficially own up to 20% of our common stock upon the closing of this offering (assuming they do not purchase
any units in this offering and not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units), will
participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and/or trust agreement and will have the
discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions of our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation which govern our pre-initial business combination behavior more easily than some other blank check companies,
and this may increase our ability to complete an initial business combination with which you do not agree. Our stockholders may
pursue remedies against us for any breach of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
57
Our sponsor, officers, directors and Nautilus
have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not
complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (ii) with respect to any other
provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our public stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, divided by the number of then outstanding
public shares. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to
its public shares. These agreements are contained in a letter agreement that we have entered into with our initial stockholders
and officers and directors. Our public stockholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, these agreements and,
as a result, will not have the ability to pursue remedies against our sponsor, officers or directors for any breach of these agreements.
As a result, in the event of a breach, our public stockholders would need to pursue a stockholder derivative action, subject to
applicable law.
We may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete
our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure
or abandon a particular business combination.
We have not selected any specific business
combination target, but intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of this offering, the sale
of the private placement units. As a result, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial
business combination. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent
that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to complete our initial business combination, we would be compelled
to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate.
Further, the amount of additional financing we may be required to obtain could increase as a result of future growth capital needs
for any particular transaction, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, the obligation to repurchase
for cash a significant number of shares from stockholders who elect redemption in connection with our initial business combination
and/or the terms of negotiated transactions to purchase shares in connection with our initial business combination. In addition,
even if we do not need additional financing to complete our initial business combination, we may require such financing to fund
the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect
on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide
any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business
combination, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the
liquidation of our trust account, and our warrants will expire worthless. Furthermore, as described in the risk factor entitled
 "If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption
amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share," under certain circumstances our public stockholders may
receive less than $10.00 per share upon the liquidation of the trust account.
Our initial stockholders may exert a substantial influence
on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.
Upon the closing of this offering, our
initial stockholders will own shares representing 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock (including the shares
of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units and assuming they do not purchase any units in this offering).
Accordingly, they may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do
not support, including amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and approval of major corporate transactions.
If our initial stockholders purchase any units in this offering or if our initial stockholders purchase any additional shares of
common stock in the aftermarket or in privately negotiated transactions, this would increase their control. Factors that would
be considered in making such additional purchases would include consideration of the current trading price of our Class A
common stock. In addition, our board of directors, whose members were elected by our initial stockholders, is and will be divided
into two classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in
each year. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the completion of our initial business
combination, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office until at least the completion of the initial business
combination. If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of our "staggered" board of directors, only a portion
of the board of directors will be considered for election and our initial stockholders, because of their ownership position, will
have considerable influence regarding the outcome. Accordingly, our initial stockholders will continue to exert control at least
until the completion of our initial business combination.
58
Our initial stockholders paid nominal purchase price for
their founder share, and, accordingly, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution from the purchase of our Class B
common stock.
The difference between the public offering price per share (allocating
all of the unit purchase price to the Class A common stock and none to the warrant included in the unit) and the pro forma
net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to you and the
other investors in this offering. Our initial stockholders acquired the founder shares at a nominal price, significantly contributing
to this dilution. Upon the closing of this offering, and assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included in the units, you
and the other public stockholders will incur an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately 90.22% (or $9.02 per share,
assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option), the difference between the pro forma net tangible book
value per share of $0.98 and the initial offering price of $10.00 per unit. In addition, because of the anti-dilution rights of
the founder shares, any equity or equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination
would be disproportionately dilutive to our Class A common stock. In addition, you may face additional dilution as a result
of the conversion into units of up to $1,500,000 in loans from our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers,
directors and affiliates in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.
We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may
be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public
warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number
of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.
Our warrants will be issued in registered
form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant
agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct
any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants
to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend
the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public
warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least
a majority of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other
things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock, shorten the exercise period or decrease
the number of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.
We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise
at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.
We have the ability to redeem outstanding
warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that
the last reported sales price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending
on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions
are met. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of
common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws
or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register
or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants
were offered by us in this offering. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you (i) to exercise your warrants
and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your warrants
at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption
price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market
value of your warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our initial
stockholders or their permitted transferees.
59
Our warrants, founder shares and private placement units
may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common stock and make it more difficult to effectuate our initial
business combination.
We will be issuing warrants to
purchase 7,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock (or up to 8,625,000 shares of Class A common stock if the
underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) as part of the units offered by this prospectus and,
simultaneously with the closing of this offering, we will be issuing, in a private placement, private placement units
consisting of 465,500 shares (or 515,000 shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) of
Class A comment stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 232,750 shares (or 257,500 shares if the
underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. Our initial
stockholders currently own an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares. The founder shares are convertible into shares of
Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as set forth herein. In addition, if our initial
stockholders make any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90
days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be converted into
units, at the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical
to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
To the extent we issue shares of Class A
common stock to effectuate an initial business combination, the potential for the issuance of a substantial number of additional
shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants could make us a less attractive business combination vehicle
to a target business. Any such issuance will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common stock
and reduce the value of the shares of Class A common stock issued to complete the initial business combination. Therefore,
our warrants, founder shares and private placement units (and underlying securities) may make it more difficult to effectuate an
initial business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the target business.
Because each unit contains one-half of one redeemable warrant
and only a whole warrant may be exercised, the units may be worth less than units of other blank check companies.
Each unit contains one-half of one redeemable
warrant. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless
you purchase a multiple of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down
to the nearest whole number of warrants. This is different from other offerings similar to ours whose units include one share of
common stock and one warrant to purchase one whole share. We have established the components of the units in this way in order
to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of an initial business combination since the warrants will be exercisable
in the aggregate for one-half of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a warrant to purchase one whole share,
thus making us, we believe, a more attractive merger partner for target businesses. Nevertheless, this unit structure may cause
our units to be worth less than if they included a warrant to purchase one whole share.
60
The determination of the offering price of our units and
the size of this offering is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities and size of an offering of an operating company in a
particular industry. You may have less assurance, therefore, that the offering price of our units properly reflects the value of
such units than you would have in a typical offering of an operating company.
Prior to this offering there has been no
public market for any of our securities. The public offering price of the units and the terms of the warrants were negotiated between
us and the underwriters. In determining the size of this offering, management held customary organizational meetings with representatives
of the underwriters, both prior to our inception and thereafter, with respect to the state of capital markets, generally, and the
amount the underwriters believed they reasonably could raise on our behalf. Factors considered in determining the size of this
offering, prices and terms of the units, including the Class A common stock and warrants underlying the units, include:
·
the history and prospects of companies whose principal business is the acquisition of other companies;
·
prior offerings of those companies;
·
our prospects for acquiring an operating business;
·
a review of debt to equity ratios in leveraged transactions;
·
our capital structure;
·
an assessment of our management and their experience in identifying operating companies;
·
general conditions of the securities markets at the time of this offering; and
·
other factors as were deemed relevant.
Although these factors were considered,
the determination of our offering price is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities of an operating company in a particular
industry since we have no historical operations or financial results.
There is currently no market for our securities and a market
for our securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.
There is currently no market for our securities.
Stockholders therefore have no access to information about prior market history on which to base their investment decision. Following
this offering, the price of our securities may vary significantly due to one or more potential business combinations and general
market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it
may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.
Because we must furnish our stockholders with target business
financial statements, we may lose the ability to complete an otherwise advantageous initial business combination with some prospective
target businesses.
The federal proxy rules require that
a proxy statement with respect to a vote on an initial business combination meeting certain financial significance tests include
historical and/or pro forma financial statement disclosure in periodic reports. We will include the same financial statement disclosure
in connection with our tender offer documents, whether or not they are required under the tender offer rules. These financial statements
may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, or GAAP, or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or PCAOB. These financial statement requirements
may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire because some targets may be unable to provide such financial statements
in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination
within the prescribed time frame.
61
We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies,
this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other
public companies.
We are an "emerging growth company"
within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not
limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute
payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important.
We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier,
including if the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30
before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot
predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors
find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be
lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our
securities may be more volatile.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of
the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards
until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not
have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out
of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates
for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither
an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.
Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make
it more difficult for us to effectuate our initial business combination, require substantial financial and management resources,
and increase the time and costs of completing an initial business combination.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 2021. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer
will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control
over financial reporting. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with
the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. The
fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome
on us as compared to other public companies because a target company with which we seek to complete our initial business combination
may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development
of the internal control of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary
to complete any such business combination.
Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for
our Class A common stock and could entrench management.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in
their best interests. These provisions include a staggered board of directors and the ability of the board of directors to designate
the terms of and issue new series of preferred shares, which may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage
transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.
We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions
under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make the removal of management
more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices
for our securities.
62
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against our directors, officers,
other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery
in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented
to service of process on such stockholder's counsel, which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors,
officers, other employees or stockholders.
Our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in
our name, actions against our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar
actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder
bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder's counsel except any action
(A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject
to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the
Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court
or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction,
or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act, as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the
District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in
shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial
forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may
discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with
federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder and therefore bring a claim in another appropriate forum.
We cannot be certain that a court will decide that this provision is either applicable or enforceable, and if a court were to find
the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable
in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our
business, operating results and financial condition.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation
will provide that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. However,
Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability
created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply
to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction. In addition, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state
courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created
by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction.
Cyber incidents or attacks directed at us could result in
information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.
We depend on digital technologies, including
information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal.
Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure
of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive
or confidential data. As an early stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently
protected against such occurrences. We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate
any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have adverse
consequences on our business and lead to financial loss.
63
If we effect our initial business combination with a company
with operations or opportunities outside of the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively
impact our operations.
If we effect our initial business combination
with a company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States, we would be subject to any special considerations
or risks associated with companies operating in an international setting, including any of the following:
·
higher costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations and complying with different commercial and legal requirements of overseas markets;
·
rules and regulations regarding currency redemption;
·
complex corporate withholding taxes on individuals;
·
laws governing the manner in which future business combinations may be effected;
·
tariffs and trade barriers;
·
regulations related to customs and import/export matters;
·
longer payment cycles and challenges in collecting accounts receivable;
·
tax issues, including but not limited to tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States;
·
currency fluctuations and exchange controls;
·
rates of inflation;
·
cultural and language differences;
·
employment regulations;
·
crime, strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks, natural disasters and wars;
·
deterioration of political relations with the United States; and
·
government appropriations of assets.
We may not be able to adequately address
these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, our operations might suffer, which may adversely impact our results of operations
and financial condition.

(1)
Includes gross proceeds from this offering of $150,000,000 (or $172,500,000 if the underwriters' overallotment option is exercised in full) as well as amounts payable to public stockholders who properly redeem their shares in connection with our successful completion of our initial business combination.
(2)
A portion of the offering expenses will be paid from the proceeds
of loans from our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies of up to an aggregate of $300,000 as described in this prospectus. These
amounts will be repaid upon completion of this offering out of the $780,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated for the
payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions). In the event that offering expenses are more than as set forth
in this table, they will be repaid using a portion of the $875,000 of offering proceeds not held in the trust account and set aside
for post-closing working capital expenses. In the event that offering expenses are less than set forth in this table, any such
amounts will be used for post-closing working capital expenses.
(3)
Upon completion of our initial business combination, the funds held in the trust account, less amounts released to the trustee to pay redeeming stockholders, will be released to us and can be used to pay all or a portion of the purchase price of the business or businesses with which our initial business combination occurs, to pay the marketing fee of $5,250,000 (or $6,037,500 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) or for general corporate purposes, including payment of principal or interest on indebtedness incurred in connection with our initial business combination, to fund the purchases of other companies or for working capital.
(4)
These expenses are estimates only and do not include interest which may be available to us from the trust account. Our actual expenditures for some or all of these items may differ from the estimates set forth herein. For example, we may incur greater legal and accounting expenses than our current estimates in connection with negotiating and structuring our initial business combination based upon the level of complexity of such business combination. In the event we identify an initial business combination target in a specific industry subject to specific regulations, we may incur additional expenses associated with legal due diligence and the engagement of special legal counsel. In addition, our staffing needs may vary and as a result, we may engage a number of consultants to assist with legal and financial due diligence. We do not anticipate any change in our intended use of proceeds, other than fluctuations among the current categories of allocated expenses, which fluctuations, to the extent they exceed current estimates for any specific category of expenses, would not be available for our expenses.
(5)
Includes estimated amounts that may also be used in connection with our initial business combination to fund a "no shop" provision and commitment fees for financing.

Of the net proceeds of this offering and
the sale of the private placement units, $150,000,000 (or $172,500,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised
in full), will be placed in a trust account in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less
or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in
direct U.S. government treasury obligations. We estimate that the interest earned on the trust account will be approximately $0.22
million per year, assuming an interest rate of 0.16% per year; however, we can provide no assurance regarding this amount. Except
with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, the
proceeds from this offering and the sale of the private placement units will not be released from the trust account until the earliest
to occur of: (a) the completion of our initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly
submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify
the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders'
rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (c) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete
our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law. The net proceeds
held in the trust account may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which we ultimately complete
our initial business combination. If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of
the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination
or used for redemptions of our Class A common stock, we may apply the balance of the cash released from the trust account
for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment
of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other
companies or for working capital. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds privately or through loans in connection
with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements we may enter into following consummation
of this offering.
We believe that amounts not held in trust
will be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses to which such proceeds are allocated. This belief is based on the fact that while
we may begin preliminary due diligence of a target business in connection with an indication of interest, we intend to undertake
in-depth due diligence, depending on the circumstances of the relevant prospective business combination, only after we have negotiated
and signed a letter of intent or other preliminary agreement that addresses the terms of an initial business combination. However,
if our estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination is less than
the actual amount necessary to do so, we may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which
is currently unascertainable. If we are required to seek additional capital, we could seek such additional capital through loans
or additional investments from our initial stockholders, members of our management team or their affiliates, but such persons are
not under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, us.
Prior to the closing of this offering,
our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies have agreed to loan us up to an aggregate $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses
of this offering. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the closing
of this offering. These loans will be repaid upon the closing of this offering out of the offering proceeds not held in the trust
account.
In addition, in order to finance transaction
costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our
officers, directors and affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete our
initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. Otherwise,
such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that our initial business combination
does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no
proceeds from our trust account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans
are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part)
may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units
would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms
of such additional loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect
to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe
third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our
trust account.
68
If we seek stockholder approval of our
initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public
warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial
business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their
affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no
current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any
such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any
material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange
Act. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under
the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the
purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply
with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the
extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to
purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination. See "Proposed
Business — Permitted purchases of our securities" for a description of how our initial stockholders, directors, officers,
advisors or any of their affiliates will select which stockholders to purchase securities from in any private transaction.
The purpose of any such purchases of shares
could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder
approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to
have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that
such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number
of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection
with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business
combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float"
of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may
be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national
securities exchange.
We will only redeem our public shares so
long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion
of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) and the agreement
for our initial business combination may require as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of
cash. If too many public stockholders exercise their redemption rights so that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement
or any net worth or cash requirements, we would not proceed with the redemption of our public shares or the initial business combination,
and instead may search for an alternate business combination.
A public stockholder will be entitled to
receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination,
(ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public
shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with
respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) the
redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months following the closing
of this offering, subject to applicable law and as further described herein and any limitations (including but not limited to cash
requirements) created by the terms of the proposed initial business combination. In no other circumstances will a public stockholder
have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.
Our sponsor, officers and directors and
Nautilus will enter into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect
to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial
business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect
to its public shares. In addition, our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from
the trust account with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial
business combination within the prescribed time frame. However, if our sponsor or any of our officers, directors or affiliates
acquires public shares in or after this offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with
respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame.
69
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any cash dividends on
our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial business combination. The
payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general
financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. If we increase or decrease the size of the offering
we will effect a stock dividend or a share contribution back to capital or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect
to our Class B common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership
of our initial stockholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering
(not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). Further, if we incur any indebtedness
in connection with our initial business combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we
may agree to in connection therewith.
70
DILUTION
The difference between the public offering
price per share of Class A common stock, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants included in the units we are offering
pursuant to this prospectus or the private placement warrants, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Class A
common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Such calculation does not reflect any
dilution associated with the sale and exercise of warrants, including the private placement warrants, which would cause the actual
dilution to the public stockholders to be higher, particularly where a cashless exercise is utilized. Net tangible book value per
share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less total liabilities (including
the value of Class A common stock which may be redeemed for cash), by the number of outstanding shares of our Class A
common stock.
At June 30, 2020, our net tangible book
value was $(17,957), or approximately $(0.004) per share of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of 15,000,000 shares
of Class A common stock included in the units we are offering by this prospectus (or 17,250,000 shares of Class A common
stock if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), the sale of the private placement units, and the
deduction of underwriting commissions and estimated expenses of this offering, our pro forma net tangible book value at June 30,
2020 would have been $5,000,001, or approximately $0.97 per share (or $0.85 per share if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full), representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value, as decreased by the value of the approximately
14,500,000 shares of Class A common stock that may be redeemed for cash, (or 16,750,000 shares of Class A common stock
if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) of $0.97 per share (or $0.85 per share if the underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full) to our initial stockholders as of the date of this prospectus and an immediate dilution
of $10.00 per share or 100% to our public stockholders not exercising their redemption rights. Total dilution to public stockholders
from this offering will be $9.03 per share (or $9.15 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full).
The following table illustrates the dilution
to the public stockholders on a per-share basis, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants included in the units or the private
placement warrants:

For purposes of presentation, we have reduced our pro forma
net tangible book value after this offering (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) by $140,627,040
because holders of up to approximately 93.75% of our public shares may redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the trust account at a per share redemption price equal to the amount in the trust account as set forth
in our tender offer or proxy materials (initially anticipated to be the aggregate amount held in trust two business days prior
to the commencement of our tender offer or stockholders meeting, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account
and not previously released to us to pay our taxes), divided by the number of shares of Class A common stock sold in this
offering.

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. In the event of any such purchases of our shares prior to the completion of our initial business combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock subject to redemption will be reduced by the amount of any such purchases, increasing the pro forma net tangible book value per share. See "Proposed Business — Effecting Our Initial Business Combination — Permitted Purchases of Our Securities."

    combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our
    taxes, subject to the limitations described herein whereby our net tangible assets will be maintained at a minimum of $5,000,001

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated
as a Delaware corporation whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any specific business combination
target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business
combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and
the private placement of the private placement units , the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial
business combination (pursuant to any forward purchase contracts and any backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation
of this offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of
the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
The issuance of additional shares in connection
with an initial business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:
·
may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;
·
may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;
·
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
·
may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
·
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants.
Similarly, if we issue debt securities
or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:
·
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
·
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
·
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;
·
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

·
our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
·
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;
·
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
·
increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
·
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and
·
other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.
As indicated in the accompanying financial
statements, at June 30, 2020, we had $2,043 in cash and deferred offering costs of $0. Further, we expect to continue to incur
significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital
or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations
nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary
to prepare for this offering. Following this offering, we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our
initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents
after this offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has
occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. After this offering, we expect to incur increased expenses as a result
of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct
due diligence on prospective business combination candidates. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after the closing
of this offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs have been satisfied
prior to the completion of this offering through a capital contribution from our initial stockholders of up to $300,000 in loans
under certain unsecured promissory notes. We estimate that the net proceeds from (i) the sale of the units in this offering,
after deducting offering expenses of approximately $780,000, underwriting commissions of $3,000,000, and (ii) the sale of
the private placement units for a purchase price of $4,655,000 will be $150,875,000 (or $173,375,000 if the underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of this amount, $150,000,000 (or $172,500,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) will be held in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in
U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The remaining
approximately $875,000 will not be held in the trust account. In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $875,000,
we may fund such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held
outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less
than our estimate of $780,000, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding
amount.
We intend to use substantially all of
the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our initial
business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number
of shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding after the completion of this offering, to
be
$200,000, which is the maximum
amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware
corporation per annum, which we may pay from funds from this offering held outside of the trust account or from interest earned
on the funds held in our trust account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the
amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount
in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole
or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will
be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue
our growth strategies.
75
Prior to the completion of our initial
business combination, we will have available to us the approximately $875,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account for working
capital. We will use these funds to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target
businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives
or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete
an initial business combination.
In order to finance transaction costs in
connection with an intended initial business combination, our initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional
funds as may be required. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working
capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such
repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the
option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to
exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such additional loans by our initial stockholders, if any, have
not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other
than our initial stockholders as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against
any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
We expect our primary liquidity requirements
during that period to include approximately $350,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated
with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; $130,000 for legal and accounting fees related
to regulatory reporting requirements, $120,000 for Director and Officer liability insurance premiums, $138,000 for payment of office
space and administrative services and $137,000 for other miscellaneous expenses.
These amounts are estimates and may differ
materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being placed in trust to pay commitment
fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a "no-shop"
provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from "shopping" around for transactions with other companies
on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed initial business combination, although
we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity
from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a "no-shop" provision would be determined
based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such
funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for,
or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.
We do not believe we will need to raise
additional funds following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our
estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business
combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business
prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial
business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our
initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination,
which may include a specified future issuance. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the
net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing
to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete
such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial
business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate
the trust account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain
additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Controls and Procedures
We are not currently required to maintain
an effective system of internal controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be required to comply
with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Only in the
event that we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer would we be required to comply with the independent
registered public accounting firm attestation requirement. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined
in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other
public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent
registered public accounting firm attestation requirement.
Prior to the closing of this offering,
we have not completed an assessment, nor has our independent registered public accounting firm tested our systems, of internal
controls. We expect to assess the internal controls of our target business or businesses prior to the completion of our initial
business combination and, if necessary, to implement and test additional controls as we may determine are necessary in order to
state that we maintain an effective system of internal controls. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding the adequacy of internal controls. Many small and mid-sized target businesses we may consider
for our initial business combination may have internal controls that need improvement in areas such as:
·
staffing for financial, accounting and external reporting areas, including segregation of duties;
·
reconciliation of accounts;
·
proper recording of expenses and liabilities in the period to which they relate;
·
evidence of internal review and approval of accounting transactions;
·
documentation of processes, assumptions and conclusions underlying significant estimates; and
·
documentation of accounting policies and procedures.
Because it will take time, management involvement
and perhaps outside resources to determine what internal control improvements are necessary for us to meet regulatory requirements
and market expectations for our operation of a target business, we may incur significant expense in meeting our public reporting
responsibilities, particularly in the areas of designing, enhancing, or remediating internal and disclosure controls. Doing so
effectively may also take longer than we expect, thus increasing our exposure to financial fraud or erroneous financing reporting.
Once our management's report on internal
controls is complete, we will retain our independent registered public accounting firm to audit and render an opinion on such report
when required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The independent registered public accounting firm may identify additional
issues concerning a target business's internal controls while performing their audit of internal control over financial reporting.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The net proceeds of this offering and the
sale of the private placement units held in the trust account will be invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity
of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which
invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there
will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Related Party Transactions
In April 2010, an affiliate of our sponsor
purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344
shares of our common stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited
257,649 shares of our common stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify
as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares,
which represented all of the common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and
we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares. On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock
to the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class
B Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares
held by our initial stockholders, an aggregate of up to 562,500 are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies,
on a pro rata basis, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The number of founder shares issued
and outstanding was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares
upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units).
If we increase or decrease the size of the offering we will effect a stock dividend or a share contribution back to capital or
other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to our Class B common stock immediately prior to the consummation
of the offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of our initial stockholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares
of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the
private placement units).
Our sponsor, officers and directors, or
any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on
our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our
audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their
affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on
the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
Prior to the consummation of this offering, our sponsor, Nautilus
and HB Strategies have agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of this offering.
These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the closing of this offering.
The loan will be repaid upon the closing of this offering out of the $780,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated to the
payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions).
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an
intended initial business combination, our initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may
be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial
business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned
amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans
are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part)
may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units
would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms
of such additional loans by our initial stockholders, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect
to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our initial stockholders as we do not believe third parties
will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
Our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies have committed to purchase
an aggregate 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in
full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised
in full) in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of this offering.
The private placement warrants will be identical to the warrants
contained in the units sold in this offering except that the private placement warrants, so long as they are held by our initial
stockholders or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may not (including the Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold
by our initial stockholders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised
by the holders on a cashless basis, (iv) will be entitled to registration rights and (v) for so long as they are held
by our sponsor, will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). Our initial stockholders will be permitted to transfer
the private placement units and underlying securities, held by them to certain permitted transferees, including our officers and
directors and other persons or entities affiliated with or related to it, but the transferees receiving such securities will be
subject to the same agreements with respect to such securities as our sponsor. These securities will not, subject to certain limited
exceptions, be transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. The private placement
warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees. The private
placement warrants may also be exercised by our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees for cash or on a cashless
basis. Otherwise, the private placement warrants, have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold
as part of the units in this offering, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
78
Hudson Bay has indicated an interest in purchasing, directly
or indirectly, up to 3,000,000 units in this offering at the public offering price. However, indications of interest are not binding
agreements or commitments to purchase and Hudson Bay may decide not to purchase any units in this offering. In addition, the underwriters
could determine to sell fewer units to Hudson Bay than they indicated an interest in purchasing or could determine not to sell
any units to Hudson Bay.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement we will enter into
with our initial stockholders on or prior to the closing of this offering, we may be required to register certain securities for
sale under the Securities Act. These holders, and holders of units issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, and
securities underlying such units, are entitled under the registration rights agreement to make up to three demands that we register
certain of our securities held by them for sale under the Securities Act and to have the securities covered thereby registered
for resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration
rights on registration statements filed after the consummation of our initial business combination. We will bear the costs and
expenses of filing any such registration statements. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions." Notwithstanding the foregoing, our sponsor may not exercise its demand and "piggyback"
registration rights after five (5) and (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. In addition, if Hudson
Bay acquires units in this offering and becomes an affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act) of us following this offering,
we have agreed to file a registration statement following this offering to register the resale of the units (including the shares
of Class A common stock and warrants included in the units) purchased by Hudson Bay (or its nominee) in this offering.
The following table shows the underwriting
discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming
both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

We will also pay $100,000 to Roth Capital, our "qualified

We have engaged Maxim as an advisor in connection
with our business combination, pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement described under "Underwriting (Conflicts
of Interest)—Business Combination Marketing Agreement." We will pay Maxim a cash fee for such services upon the consummation
of our initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of this offering, including
any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. As a result, Maxim will not be
entitled to such fee unless we consummate our initial business combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual
Obligations; Quarterly Results
79
As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations. No unaudited
quarterly operating data is included in this prospectus, as we have conducted no operations to date.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was
signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying
public companies. We will qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply
with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing
to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting
standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result,
our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public
company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of
evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions
set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company", we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be
required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm's attestation report on
our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation
disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement
to the report of independent registered public accounting firm providing additional information about the audit and the financial
statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation
between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation.
These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of this offering or until we are no longer an "emerging
growth company," whichever is earlier.

PROPOSED BUSINESS
Introduction
We are a blank check company incorporated
as a Delaware corporation whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus
as our initial business combination. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone
on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect
to an initial business combination with us.
We intend to target an initial business
combination that will provide our investors with an attractive return profile. Our efforts will not be limited to a specific industry
or geographic region, but we will we intend to focus on entities that have the following characteristics:
·
global emerging growth and lower-to-middle market companies
with aggregate enterprise values of approximately $300 million to $1.5 billion;
·
strong platforms within niche market segments that and would benefit from access to the public markets; and
·
management teams that have showcased industry leading operational expertise and a track record of providing returns to investors.
We will seek to capitalize on the significant
experience of our sponsor and its affiliates as well as our management team to consummate an initial business combination with
the goal of pursuing attractive returns for our shareholders.
With respect to the foregoing descriptions,
past performance of Maxim (and its affiliates), Hudson Bay and our management team is not a guarantee either (i) of success
with respect to any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for
our initial business combination. You should not rely on the historical performance record of Maxim (and its affiliates), Hudson
Bay or our management team as indicative of our future performance. In addition, our officers may have conflicts of interest with
other entities to which they owe fiduciary or contractual obligations with respect to initial business combination opportunities.
For a list of our officers and entities for which a conflict of interest may or does exist between such officers and the company,
as well as the priority and preference that such entity has with respect to performance of obligations and presentation of business
opportunities to us, please refer to the table and subsequent explanatory paragraph under "Management — Conflicts of
Interest".
Our Management Team
Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos,
our Co-Chief Executive Officers and directors, have a long-standing business relationship with Maxim, since 2005, having successfully
conducted three initial public offerings of blanc check companies and closed the related three business combinations. As a result,
they have cooperated successfully to source, evaluate and/or negotiate numerous target possibilities in the process. We intend
to leverage our strong blend of experience and know-how in our search for a target business, to the benefit of our investors.
We have assembled a group of directors, including independent
directors, who will provide public company governance, executive leadership, operations oversight, private equity investment management
and capital markets experience. Our Board members have extensive experience, having served as investment bankers, directors, CEO's
or CFO's, or in other executive and advisory capacities for publicly-listed and privately-owned companies. Our directors
have experience with acquisitions, divestitures and corporate strategy and implementation, which we believe will be of significant
benefit to us as we evaluate potential acquisition or merger candidates as well as following the completion of our initial business
combination.
We believe that the current status of the
financial markets presents attractive opportunities for consolidation and a favorable timing in which to attempt to consummate
a business combination. Our executive officers and directors have an aggregate of over 100 years of experience, as investment bankers,
managers, principals or directors of major worldwide maritime companies, where they have sourced, negotiated and structured transactions
in these industries. We intend to leverage the experience of our executive officers, including their contacts and relationships,
by focusing our efforts on identifying a prospective target business. While the amount of time our executive officers will devote
in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the initial business combination and the
stage of the initial business combination process the company is in, we expect Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos to devote,
in the aggregate, an average of approximately 20 hours per week to our business.
Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos,
our co-Chief Executive Officers, have been the founders, officers and directors of three blank check companies that consummated
business combinations, Stellar Acquisition III Inc., which we refer to as Stellar, Nautilus Marine Acquisition Corp., which we
refer to as Nautilus Marine, and Star Maritime Acquisition Corp., which we refer to as Star Maritime. Stellar conducted an initial
public offering in August 2016 having raised $69.0 million and consummated a business combination in December 2018 and
trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market as Phunware Inc. (Nasdaq: PHUN). Nautilus Marine conducted an initial public offering in June 2011
having raised $48.0 million, consummated a business combination in February 2013, was taken private as Nautilus Offshore Services
Inc. in October 2013, and in November 2015 was acquired by DryShips, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRYS). Star Maritime conducted
an initial public offering in June 2005 having raised $188.8 million, consummated a business combination in November 2007,
and trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market as Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (Nasdaq: SBLK). Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos played
leading roles throughout the business combination transactions for Stellar, Nautilus Marine and Star Maritime, including identifying
suitable acquisition candidates including the ultimate targets, and the consummation of such acquisitions. During their tenures
at Stellar, Nautilus Marine and Star maritime, Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos sourced and evaluated an aggregate of over
120 possible acquisition targets.
81
Members of our management team are not
obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary
to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time that any member of our management team
will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination
and the current stage of the business combination process.
We believe our management team's
operating and transaction experience and relationships with companies will provide us with a substantial number of potential business
combination targets. Over the course of their careers, the members of our management team have developed a broad network of contacts
and corporate relationships in various industries. This network has grown through the activities of our management team sourcing,
acquiring and financing businesses, our management team's relationships with sellers, financing sources and target management
teams and the experience of our management team in executing transactions under varying economic and financial market conditions.
See the section of this prospectus entitled "Management" for a more complete description of our management team's
experience.
Alliance with Maxim
Our management team has a long and extensive
working relationship with Maxim stemming back to 2005. Maxim was the lead underwriter in all three blank check company initial
public offerings that our management team completed and played an important role in the consummation of all three business combinations.
This long standing business relationship has played a key role in the formation and partnership of our management team and Maxim
for Growth Capital's initial public offering.
Our sponsor, Growth Capital Sponsor LLC, is an affiliate of
Maxim Group LLC (which we also refer to as "Maxim" in this prospectus). Maxim is a leading closely-held diversified
global investment bank and private wealth management firm with approximately 300 professionals. Maxim focuses on serving the financial
and strategic needs of its global emerging growth and lower-to-middle market corporate clients that are typically sub-$1 billion
enterprise value businesses across a range of industries, including healthcare, industrials, energy, technology, media, telecommunications,
software, consumer, financial services, fintech, cleantech and a host of other industries. Maxim provides its corporate clients
financial solutions including capital raising services during their most important and formative stages of development through
its unique distribution channels, and strategic advice on their critical corporate actions such as mergers and acquisitions. In
addition, Maxim provides a wide range of value-added services including sales & trading, equity research, wealth management &
corporate services, to serve all aspects of clients' capital markets/financial needs.
Maxim was formed in October of 2002 as a result of a management
led acquisition of the multi-billion-dollar market capitalization and LSE listed global financial services firm Investec PLC's
U.S. platform, Investec & Co. As a result of this management lead acquisition and rebranding, Maxim has grown from
a regional wealth management and brokerage firm with approximately 125 employees in 2002 to a diversified global investment banking
firm with currently approximately 300 employees globally. Since inception, Maxim has had consistent profitability along with prudent
risk management, a diversified revenue base with multiple strategic growth engines and significant inherent operating leverage,
well capitalized to meet its objectives and has no debt.
As a leading diversified global investment
banking firm targeting the emerging growth and lower-to-middle market with a focus on sub-$1 billion enterprise value companies,
Maxim has completed over 700 financings and M&A transactions, aggregating over $39 billion dollars, having acted as book runner,
co-manager or financial advisor since inception. In addition to providing capital raising services, Maxim has a large and developed
strategic advisory and M&A practice having completed over 50 M&A and strategic advisory transactions aggregating over $5.0
billion dollars since 2002. Maxim's capital markets and institutional trading platforms service over 2,000 institutions in
over 30 countries and provides sales trading advice on traditional derivatives and financial instruments, institutional coverage
in several different fixed income instruments, is a market maker in over 7,500 listed and OTC listed stocks and prime brokerage
services. With a focus on small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging growth companies with a market capitalization below $1 billion, Maxim
also has approximately 200 companies in 20 sectors of the global economy under research coverage. Finally, Maxim also provides
wealth management and corporate services and has  approximately $4.0 billion in client assets under management.
Maxim is also a leader in the special purpose acquisition company
("SPAC") market, having been involved as a book runner, co-manager, underwriter or selling group member in approximately
38% of the SPAC initial public offerings that have come to market since 2002. In addition to being a leader in SPAC initial public
offerings, Maxim has also had significant merger and acquisition and advisory experience, having been involved in numerous mergers
or similar transactions representing the initial business combinations of SPACs ("de-SPACings"). In addition to working
with SPACs during their de-SPACing process, Maxim has also advised and raised capital for numerous de-SPACed companies once they
have transformed into operating companies following their initial business combinations.
82
In addition to Maxim's SPAC experience,
Maxim has also been involved in other complex transactions that facilitate the "going public" process for our corporate
clients. Maxim has significant experience in sourcing and structuring capital markets transactions that enable companies to access
the public markets. We believe that our prior experience with reverse mergers, public roll-ups, small cap IPOs, private-to-public
as well as public-to-public M&A transactions will provide us with a unique skill set to effectuate and source a potential business
combination. We believe these attributes coupled with the combination of our sponsor's, Maxim's, as well as our management
team's capital markets and SPAC transaction expertise and a proven ability to grow businesses organically and through acquisitions
makes us uniquely qualified to pursue an initial business combination.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that the background and experience
of our management team and Maxim lay the foundation for our competitive strengths as a blank check company. Over time, our Sponsor
(and its affiliates) has developed long-term relationships with a wide range of global private and public companies primarily under
$1 billion in enterprise value. We will seek to capitalize on the substantial resources and their network and relationships will
provide us with exposure to a broad selection of potential acquisition targets. However, there is no formal agreement between us
and Maxim with respect to the provision of any services to us by Maxim and its employees. Consequently, while we expect Maxim and
its employees to provide us services so that we can capitalize on the substantial resources and global infrastructure of Maxim
and leverage Maxim's relationships, there is no guarantee that Maxim or its employees will provide any services to us or
that we will be able to do so.
·
Experience with SPACs and the broader capital markets.
Our management team has significant experience having
completed three previous SPAC transactions in the sourcing, evaluation and negotiation of transactions with blank check company
targets. Maxim (together with its affiliates) has experience in the capital markets, M&A and advisory transactions and expertise
as a leader in the SPAC market which we believe will enable us to navigate the complexity of the initial business combination process.
As such, we believe this will enable us to drive the target sourcing process in a very prompt and efficient manner as well as navigate
through all required procedures and complexities of the SPAC transaction process.
·
Experience in sourcing and structuring complex transactions that facilitate the "going public" process
.
We have significant experience in sourcing and structuring capital markets transactions that enable companies to access the public
markets. We believe that our prior experience with reverse mergers, public roll-ups, small cap IPOs, private-to-public as well
as public-to-public M&A transactions will provide us with a unique skill set to effectuate and source a potential business
combination.
·
Deep global
                                         network to facilitate sourcing of a potential initial business combination.
We
                                         intend to leverage the global network of contacts of our management team and Maxim and
                                         its officers and directors, which contacts include management teams of public and private
                                         companies, investment bankers, private equity sponsors, venture capital investors, hedge
                                         funds, alternative asset managers, family offices, advisers, attorneys and accountants
                                         that we believe should provide us with a number of initial business combination opportunities.
·
Significant merger, acquisition and integration experience with a track record of smart timing during market downturns.
Maxim (together with its affiliates) has a strong track record of completing M&A transactions in challenging market
environments. Maxim was created in 2002, post "dot-com tech/internet bubble", as a result of its predecessor retrenching
back to its local market. Additionally, our officers and directors have substantial experience completing M&A transactions
in multiple markets on a global basis for both private and public companies.

·
Maxim is a leading diversified global financial services firm focused on the global emerging growth and lower-to-middle
market sectors.
We believe that Maxim (together with its affiliates) experience as a leading financial services firm with
a wide range of global experience working with private and public companies primarily under $1 billion in enterprise value will
enable us to navigate, source and execute a potential initial business combination.
Investment/Acquisition Criteria
While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity
in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management team's
background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business or businesses consistent
with the experience of our management team and affiliates of Maxim. We believe our universe of potential acquisition targets will
meet the following criteria, but is not limited to:
·
Global
                                         emerging growth and lower-to-middle market companies.
We intend to seek and initial
                                         business combination with an aggregate enterprise value of approximately $300 million
                                         to $1.5 billion. We believe this segment of the market enables us to leverage Maxim's
                                         vast global network to identify opportunities.
·
Attractive initial valuation arbitrage.
We believe there are substantial private-to-public arbitrage opportunities
that currently exist in the global emerging growth and lower-to-middle market sectors. We will seek to target an initial business
combination that may provide a compelling private-to-public valuation arbitrage to initially capitalize on.
·
Solid Free Cash Flow Generation.
We will seek to acquire via our initial business combination a target with attractive
operating margins, strong free cash flow generation and solid recurring revenue streams.
·
Strong platforms within niche market segments that would benefit from access to the public markets.
We intend
to target an initial business combination with a platform company that can thrive within the public market. We believe there are
many reasons to establish a public market platform including but not limited to, efficiencies of raising capital, a public market
currency and valuation differentials.
·
Platform opportunities that can benefit from "bolt-on" acquisitions.
We believe that finding a core
platform to transact with, will potentially benefit from acquisitions or consolidation within their respective industries. We may
seek to target fragmented industries, but we also believe that future "bolt-on" acquisitions may provide additional
enhanced margins, further operational scale and capture further valuation arbitrage opportunities.
·
Investment opportunities that can thrive from deploying growth capital.
We believe that in addition to capturing
the private-to-public valuation arbitrage opportunity with our initial business combination, we also recognize that it is critical
to find a target entity that will benefit from having access to growth capital. We believe that if this growth capital is deployed
efficiently, the initial business combination may potentially provide additional attractive risk-adjusted returns.
·
Management teams that have showcased industry leading operational expertise and a track record of providing returns to
investors.
We intend to seek opportunities that have strong management teams that have been able to historically provide
returns to their investors. We believe that the expertise of a management team is one of the critical components for driving growth,
operational efficiencies and unlocking value from an investment opportunity.
·
Investment opportunities that can benefit from Maxim's and our management team's expertise.
Maxim's
(and affiliates') and our management team's expertise and prior track record of acting as operators, investors and
investment bankers uniquely position us to provide significant incremental value-added support to any potential target we transact
with. We believe we will be able to enhance returns for any future potential target in concert with a target's management
team.
84
·
Off market and complex proprietary transactions.
As a result of its robust deal sourcing network, Maxim often
comes across unique and complex transactions that may require a significant amount of financial engineering and creative capital
structure enhancement to unlock cash flow generation and value. We will not shy away from such potential opportunities as we believe
these potential transactions may unlock significant risk adjusted returns.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive.
Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these
general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant. In the event that
we decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines,
we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our stockholder communications related to our initial
business combination, which, as discussed in this prospectus, would be in the form of proxy solicitation materials or tender offer
documents that we would file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Business Strategy
Our acquisition and value creation strategy will be to identify,
acquire and, after our initial business combination, to build a company in an industry that complements the experience and expertise
of our management team. Our acquisition selection process will leverage the network of contacts developed by Maxim and our management
team and those of their affiliates, including relationships in the financial services industry, comprising management teams of
public and private companies, investment bankers, private equity sponsors, venture capital investors, hedge funds, alternative
asset managers, family offices, advisers, attorneys and accountants that we believe should provide us with a number of business
combination opportunities. Upon completion of this offering, our management team will communicate with their contacts, including
employees of our affiliates, to set forth the type of company that we would like to target so that we can begin the process of
locating, identifying, pursuing and reviewing potential target companies.
We currently expect that we would enter
into an administrative services agreement with any target business with Maxim or one of its affiliates for Maxim and its affiliates
to provide, or procure the provision of, various administrative (both middle office and back office) services to us. Such agreement
would be entered into at the closing of our initial business combination pursuant to negotiations with the target business. Maxim
and its affiliates have entered into administrative services agreements with many of its affiliates and we believe that the provision
of these services from Maxim and its affiliates would be advantageous to a target business and allow a target business to leverage
the resources of Maxim and its affiliates. We would expect that the administrative services would be provided at a cost equal
to (1) the direct cost that the providing party incurs in performing those services, including third-party charges incurred
in providing services, plus (2) a reasonable allocation of other costs determined in a consistent and fair manner so as to
cover the providing party's appropriate costs or in such other manner as the parties agree.
Initial Business Combination Criteria
As long as we obtain and maintain a listing
for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least
80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account)
at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors will
make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to
independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent accounting
firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able
to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if
it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty
as to the value of a target's assets or prospects.
85
We may, at our option, pursue a business
combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more entities affiliated with Maxim and/or one or more investors in funds
or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim, which we refer to as an "Affiliated Joint Acquisition." Any such
parties would co-invest only if (i) permitted by applicable regulatory and other legal limitations; (ii) we and Maxim
considered a transaction to be mutually beneficial to us as well as the affiliated entity; and (iii) other business reasons
exist to do so, such as the strategic merits of including such co-investors, the need for additional capital beyond the amount
held in our trust account to fund the initial business combination and/or the desire to obtain committed capital for closing the
initial business combination. An Affiliated Joint Acquisition may be effected through a co-investment with us in the target business
at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination
by issuing to such parties a class of equity or equity-linked securities. We refer to this potential future issuance, or a similar
issuance to other specified purchasers, as a "specified future issuance" throughout this prospectus. The amount and
other terms and conditions of any such specified future issuance would be determined at the time thereof. We are not obligated
to make any specified future issuance and may determine not to do so. This is not an offer for any specified future issuance. Pursuant
to the anti-dilution provisions of our Class B common stock, any such specified future issuance would result in an adjustment
to the conversion ratio such that our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees, if any, would retain their aggregate
percentage ownership at 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering
(not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units) plus all shares issued in the specified
future issuance, unless the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B common stock agreed to waive such
adjustment with respect to the specified future issuance at the time thereof. We cannot determine at this time whether a majority
of the holders of our Class B common stock at the time of any such specified future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment
to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing conditions
which are part of the agreement for our initial business combination; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders on structuring
an initial business combination; (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution
provisions of the Class B common stock; or (iv) as part of the Affiliated Joint Acquisition. If such adjustment is not
waived, the specified future issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class B common stock, but
would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the specified
future issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of our common stock.
We anticipate structuring our initial business
combination either (i) in such a way so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will
own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses, or (ii) in such a way so that
the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet
certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders, or for other reasons, including an Affiliated Joint Acquisition
as described above. However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires
50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient
for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the "Investment
Company Act". Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our
stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company,
depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction
in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this
case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number
of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding
shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business
or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or
acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq's 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination
involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions
and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking
stockholder approval, as applicable. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we would be required
to comply with such 80% rule.
86
Our Business Combination Process
In evaluating prospective business combinations,
we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review process that will encompass, among other things, a review of historical and
projected financial and operating data, meetings with management and their advisors (if applicable), on-site inspection of facilities
and assets, discussion with customers and suppliers, legal reviews and other reviews as we deem appropriate. We will also utilize
the expertise of our management team, directors and other employees of Maxim (and its affiliates) in analyzing companies and evaluating
operating projections, financial projections and determining the appropriate return expectations.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an
initial business combination with a business that is affiliated with Maxim (or its affiliates), investment funds or separate accounts
advised by Maxim or our initial stockholders, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination
with a business that is affiliated with Maxim (or its affiliates), investment funds or separate accounts advised by Maxim (or
its affiliates) or our initial stockholders, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an
opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation, appraisal or accounting
firm that regularly provides fairness opinions that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point
of view.
Our
Co-Chief Executive Officers will indirectly own founder shares and/or private placement units following this offering.
Because of such ownership and interests,
our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate
business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict
of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers
and directors were to be included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
Maxim,
our initial stockholders and management
will continuously be made aware of potential business opportunities, one or more
of which we may desire to pursue for an initial business combination; we have not, however, selected any specific business combination
target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any
business combination target.
Each of our officers and directors
presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant
to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity. Accordingly, if any of
our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she
has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations to present the opportunity to such entity, he or she will honor his or her
fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. We believe, however, that the fiduciary duties
or contractual obligations of our sponsor and our officers or directors will not materially affect our ability to complete our
initial business combination. We may, at our option, pursue a business combination opportunity jointly with Maxim or one or more
entities affiliated with Maxim and/or one or more investors in funds or separate accounts managed or advised by Maxim or an officer
or director that has a fiduciary or contractual obligation (collectively an "Affiliated Joint Acquisition"). Any such
entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional
proceeds to complete the initial business combination by making a specified future issuance to any such entity. Our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation will provide that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director
or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer
of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable
for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another
legal obligation. The determination of whether an opportunity has been expressly offered to a director of officer solely in his
or her capacity as a director or officer of our company will made based on express statements by the person offering the opportunity,
and if a director or officer is unsure of whether an opportunity was offered in such capacity, he or she shall seek guidance on
such determination from the audit committee of our board of directors.
87
Our officers have agreed not to become
an officer of any other special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, until we have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business
combination or we have failed to complete our initial business combination within 24 months after the closing of this offering.
Status as a Public Company
We believe our structure will make us an
attractive business combination partner to target businesses. As a public company, we offer a target business an alternative to
the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other business combination with us. Following an initial business combination,
we believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that
are better aligned with stockholders' interests than it would as a private company. A target business can further benefit
by augmenting its profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees. In a business combination
transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock in the target business
for our shares of Class A common stock (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our shares of Class A
common stock and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers.
Although there are various costs and obligations
associated with being a public company, we believe target businesses will find this method a more expeditious and cost effective
method to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical initial public offering process takes
a significantly longer period of time than the typical business combination transaction process, and there are significant expenses
in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and commissions, marketing and road show efforts that
may not be present to the same extent in connection with an initial business combination with us.
Furthermore, once a proposed initial business
combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always
subject to the underwriters' ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could delay or
prevent the offering from occurring or could have negative valuation consequences. Following an initial business combination, we
believe the target business would then have greater access to capital and an additional means of providing management incentives
consistent with stockholders' interests and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company
can offer further benefits by augmenting a company's profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting
talented employees.
While we believe that our structure and
our management team's backgrounds will make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view
our status as a blank check company, such as our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek stockholder approval of any
proposed initial business combination, negatively.
We are an "emerging growth company,"
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging
growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting
firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory
vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors
find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of
our securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS
Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in
Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging
growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private
companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
88
We will remain an emerging growth company
until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this
offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to
be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds
$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we
have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
Financial Position
With funds available for an initial business
combination initially in the amount of $144,750,000 assuming no redemptions and after payment of the marketing fee of $5,250,000
(or $166,462,500 assuming no redemptions and after payment of up to $6,037,500 of the marketing fee if the underwriters' over-allotment option
is exercised in full), in each case before fees and expenses associated with our initial business combination, we offer a target
business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and
expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt or leverage ratio. Because we are able to complete
our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility
to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its
needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will be
available to us.
Effecting Our Initial Business Combination
We are not presently engaged in, and we
will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time following this offering. We intend to effectuate our initial
business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and the private placement of the private placement units , the
proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to any forward purchase contract
and any backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of this offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners
of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing. We may seek
to complete our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages
of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.
If our initial business combination is
paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration
in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our Class A common stock, we may apply the
balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion
of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing
our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.
We may seek to raise additional funds through
a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial business combination (which may
include a specified future issuance), and we may effectuate our initial business combination using the proceeds of such offering
rather than using the amounts held in the trust account. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire
with the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional
financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would
expect to complete such financing only simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. In the case of an
initial business combination funded with assets other than the trust account assets, our proxy materials or tender offer documents
disclosing the initial business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by law, we would seek
stockholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on our ability to raise funds privately, including pursuant to
any specified future issuance, or through loans in connection with our initial business combination. At this time, we are not a
party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any additional funds through the sale of
securities or otherwise.
89
Sources of Target Businesses
We anticipate that target business candidates
will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and investment professionals.
Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us by calls or
mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis,
since many of these sources will have read this prospectus and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and
directors, as well as our sponsor and their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates that they become
aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending
trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise
necessarily be available to us as a result of the business relationships of our officers and directors and our sponsor and their
affiliates. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize
in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may
pay a finder's fee, consulting fee, advisory fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm's length negotiation
based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder
may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with
a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of finder's fees is customarily
tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the trust account. In no
event, however, will our sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which our sponsor or officers
are affiliated, be paid any finder's fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other
compensation by the company prior to, or in connection with any services rendered for any services they render in order to effectuate,
the completion of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is) other than as described herein.
Some of our officers and directors may enter into employment or consulting agreements with the post-transaction company following
our initial business combination. The presence or absence of any such fees or arrangements will not be used as a criterion in our
selection process of an initial business combination candidate.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an
initial business combination with an initial business combination target that is affiliated with our initial
stockholders,
officers or directors or making the initial business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with
our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with an initial business
combination target that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would
obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm that
such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such
an opinion in any other context.
As more fully discussed in the section
of this prospectus entitled "Management — Conflicts of Interest," if any of our officers or directors becomes
aware of an initial business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has
pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to
such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Our officers and directors currently have certain
relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us. We may, at our option, pursue
an Affiliated Joint Acquisition opportunity with Maxim (or its affiliates) or an entity to which Maxim (or its affiliates) or an
officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation, but such parties would co-invest only if permitted by applicable
regulatory and other legal limitations and to the extent considered appropriate. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target
business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business
combination by making a specified future issuance to any such entity.
Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of our Initial
Business Combination
So long as we obtain and maintain a listing
for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least
80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account)
at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. The fair market value of
our initial business combination will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted
by the financial community, such as discounted cash flow valuation, a valuation based on trading multiples of comparable public
businesses or a valuation based on the financial metrics of M&A transactions of comparable businesses. If our board of directors
is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from
an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction
of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able to make an independent determination
of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with
the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of a target's assets
or prospects. We do not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial business
combination. Subject to this requirement, our management will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting
one or more prospective target businesses, although we will not be permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with
another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.
90
In any case, we will only complete an initial
business combination in which we own or acquire 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquire
a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act. If we own or acquire less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses, the portion
of such business or businesses that are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company is what will be taken into account for
purposes of Nasdaq's 80% of net assets test. There is no basis for investors in this offering to evaluate the possible merits
or risks of any target business with which we may ultimately complete our initial business combination.
To the extent we effect our initial business
combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth we may
be affected by numerous risks inherent in such company or business. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks
inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
In evaluating a prospective business target,
we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review, which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management
and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial
and other information that will be made available to us.
The time required to select and evaluate
a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are
not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation
of a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring
losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination.
Lack of Business Diversification
For an indefinite period of time after
the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance
of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in
one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks
of being in a single line of business. In addition, we intend to focus our search for an initial business combination in a single
industry. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:
·
subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial business combination, and
·
cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.
Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target's Management
Team
Although we intend to closely scrutinize
the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination
with that business, our assessment of the target business' management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future
management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role
of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination
as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial
business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following
our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our
initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience
or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
91
We cannot assure you that any of our key
personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any
of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
Following an initial business combination,
we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you
that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge
or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Stockholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our
Initial Business Combination
We may conduct redemptions without a stockholder
vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC. However, we will seek stockholder approval if it is required by law or
applicable stock exchange rule, or we may decide to seek stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons. Presented in
the table below is a graphic explanation of the types of initial business combinations we may consider and whether stockholder
approval is currently required under Delaware law for each such transaction.
Type of Transaction
Whether
Stockholder
Approval is
Required
Purchase of assets
No
Purchase of stock of target not involving a merger with the company
No
Merger of target into a subsidiary of the company
No
Merger of the company with a target
Yes
So long as we obtain and maintain a listing
for our securities on Nasdaq, stockholder approval would be required for our initial business combination if, for example:
·
we issue shares of Class A common stock that will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of our Class A common stock then outstanding (other than in a public offering);
·
any of our directors, officers or substantial stockholders (as defined by Nasdaq rules) has a 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance of common stock could result in an increase in outstanding common shares or voting power of 5% or more; or
·
the issuance or potential issuance of common stock will result in our undergoing a change of control.
Permitted Purchases of our Securities
If we seek stockholder approval of our
initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public
warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial
business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their
affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no
current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any
such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any
material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange
Act. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under
the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the
purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply
with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the
extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to
purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination.
92
The purpose of any such purchases of shares
could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder
approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to
have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that
such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number
of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection
with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business
combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float"
of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may
be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national
securities exchange.
Our sponsor, officers, directors and/or
their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates
may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests
submitted by stockholders following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with our initial business combination. To the
extent that our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and
contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the
trust account or vote against our initial business combination, whether or not such stockholder has already submitted a proxy with
respect to our initial business combination. Our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates will only purchase
shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.
Any purchases by our sponsor, officers,
directors and/or their affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made
to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for
manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements
that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. Our sponsor, officers, directors and/or
their affiliates will not make purchases of common stock if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5
of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to
the extent such purchases are subject to such reporting requirements.
Redemption Rights for Public Stockholders upon Completion
of our Initial Business Combination
We will provide our public stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock upon the completion of our initial
business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account
as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination including interest earned on the funds held
in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares,
subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be approximately $10.00
per public share. Our sponsor, officers, directors and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which
they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public
shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to the waive
its redemption rights with respect to its founder shares and private placement shares.
93
Manner of Conducting Redemptions
We will provide our public stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock upon the completion of our initial
business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business
combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such
as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek stockholder approval under the
law or stock exchange listing requirement. Under Nasdaq rules, asset acquisitions and stock purchases would not typically require
stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than
20% of our outstanding common stock or seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would require stockholder
approval. If we structure an initial business combination with a target company in a manner that requires stockholder approval,
we will not have discretion as to whether to seek a stockholder vote to approve the proposed initial business combination. We may
conduct redemptions without a stockholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC unless stockholder approval is
required by law or stock exchange listing requirements or we choose to seek stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons.
So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with such rules.
If a stockholder vote is not required and
we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation:
·
conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and
·
file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
Upon the public announcement of our initial
business combination, we or our sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase shares
of our Class A common stock in the open market if we elect to redeem our public shares through a tender offer, to comply with
Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant
to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under
the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender
offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public stockholders not tendering more than a specified number
of public shares which are not purchased by our sponsor, which number will be based on the requirement that we will only redeem
our public shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior
to or upon completion of our initial business combination  (so that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock"
rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business
combination. If public stockholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and
not complete the initial business combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the
transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business
or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation:
·
conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and
·
file proxy materials with the SEC.
In the event that we seek stockholder approval
of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our public stockholders
with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
94
If we seek stockholder approval, we
will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted
in favor of the initial business combination. A quorum for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by
proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding
shares of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such meeting. Our initial stockholders will count toward this
quorum and pursuant to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have agreed to vote their founder
shares, private placement shares and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and
privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder
shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the
majority of our outstanding shares of common stock voted, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial
business combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result, in addition to our initial stockholders' founder shares,
we would need only 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an
initial business combination (assuming all outstanding shares are voted; or 588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum
number of shares representing a quorum are voted and assuming our sponsor, officers and directors and their affiliates do not
purchase any units in or after this offering) in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming the
over-allotment option is not exercised). We intend to give approximately 30 days (but not less than 10 days nor more than 60
days) prior written notice of any such meeting, if required, at which a vote shall be taken to approve our initial business
combination. These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of our initial stockholders, may make it more
likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each public stockholder may elect to redeem its public
shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide that we will only redeem our public shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets
will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion of our initial business combination (so that we
are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which
may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. For example, the proposed initial business combination
may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target
for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance
with the terms of the proposed initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required
to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy
cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available
to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of Class A common stock
submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
Limitation on Redemption upon Completion of our Initial
Business Combination if we Seek Stockholder Approval
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we seek
stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business
combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public
stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert
or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption
rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering, which we refer to as the "Excess
Shares." Such restriction shall also be applicable to our affiliates. We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders
from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption
rights against a proposed initial business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a
significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder
holding more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if
such holder's shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other
undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders' ability to redeem no more than 25% of the shares sold in this offering
without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block
our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with
a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would
not be restricting our stockholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial
business combination.
95
Tendering Stock Certificates in Connection with a Tender
Offer or Redemption Rights
We may require our public stockholders
seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name,"
to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents or proxy materials
mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination
in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository
Trust Company's DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder's option. The tender offer or proxy materials,
as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate
whether we are requiring public stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a public stockholder would have
from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, or up to two business days prior
to the vote on the initial business combination if we distribute proxy materials, as applicable, to tender its shares if it wishes
to seek to exercise its redemption rights. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for stockholders to use
electronic delivery of their public shares.
There is a nominal cost associated with
the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The
transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost
on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise
redemption rights to tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless
of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
The foregoing is different from the procedures
used by many blank check companies. In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with their business combinations, many
blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the stockholders' vote on an initial business combination, and
a holder could simply vote against a proposed initial business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating such holder
was seeking to exercise his or her redemption rights. After the initial business combination was approved, the company would contact
such stockholder to arrange for him or her to deliver his or her certificate to verify ownership. As a result, the stockholder
then had an "option window" after the completion of the initial business combination during which he or she could monitor
the price of the company's stock in the market. If the price rose above the redemption price, he or she could sell his or
her shares in the open market before actually delivering his or her shares to the company for cancellation. As a result, the redemption
rights, to which stockholders were aware they needed to commit before the stockholder meeting, would become "option"
rights surviving past the completion of the initial business combination until the redeeming holder delivered its certificate.
The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the meeting ensures that a redeeming holder's election to redeem
is irrevocable once the initial business combination is approved.
Any request to redeem such shares, once
made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the tender offer materials or the date of the stockholder meeting
set forth in our proxy materials, as applicable. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection
with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights,
such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated
that the funds to be distributed to holders of our public shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after
the completion of our initial business combination.
If our initial business combination is
not approved or completed for any reason, then our public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not
be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account. In such case, we will promptly return
any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.
If our initial proposed initial business
combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete an initial business combination with a different target until
24 months from the closing of this offering.
Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if no Initial
Business Combination
96
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that we will have only 24 months from the closing of this offering to complete our initial business combination.
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within such 24-month period, we will: (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter,
redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account
including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to
$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption
rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial
business combination within the 24-month time period.
Our sponsor, officers, directors, Nautilus
and HB Strategies will enter into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions
from the trust account with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial
business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering. However, if our sponsor, officers, directors or the other
initial stockholders who are parties to the letter agreement acquire public shares in or after this offering, they will be entitled
to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business
combination within the allotted 24-month time period.
Our sponsor, officers, directors and Nautilus
will agree, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not
complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (ii) with respect to any other
provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our public stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held
in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.
HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public shares.
However, we will only redeem our public shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001
either immediately prior to or upon completion of our initial business combination  (so that we are not subject to the SEC's
"penny stock" rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of public
shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement (described above), we would not proceed with the amendment
or the related redemption of our public shares at such time.
We expect that all costs and expenses associated
with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the
approximately $875,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient
funds for such purpose. We will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the trust account to pay any
tax obligations we may owe. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing
our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes on interest
income earned on the trust account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000
of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
If we were to expend all of the net proceeds
of this offering and the sale of the private placement units, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without
taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon
our dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the
claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that
the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. Under Section 281(b) of
the DGCL, our plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be
made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before we make any distribution
of our remaining assets to our stockholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have
funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors' claims.
97
Although we will seek to have all vendors,
service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders,
there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented
from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility
or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage
with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute
an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives
available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes
that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible
instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant
whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that
would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and Maxim, the underwriters of
the offering, will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account.
In addition, there is no guarantee that
such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts
or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Each of our sponsor and Nautilus has
agreed that it will be liable to us, on a pro rata basis based on the number of founder shares owned by them, if and to the extent
any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered
into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds
in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held
in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in
the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable from interest, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a
third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account
(whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor or Nautilus
to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether any of these initial stockholders has
sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the only assets of our sponsor and Nautilus are securities
of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our initial stockholders would be able to satisfy those obligations. None
of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and
prospective target businesses.
In the event that the proceeds in the trust
account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account
as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the
amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification
obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine
whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our
independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us,
it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example, the
cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent
directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. We have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations
and we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due
to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per public share.
98
We will seek to reduce the possibility
that our sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service
providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right,
title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. Our sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims
under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. We will have access to up to approximately $875,000 from the proceeds of this offering with which to pay any such potential
claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately
$100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient,
stockholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors. In the event that our offering
expenses exceed our estimate of $780,000, we may fund such excess with funds from the funds not to be held in the trust account.
In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. Conversely,
in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $780,000, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside
the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount.
Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held
liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The
pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event
we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering may be considered a liquidating
distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL
intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which
any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims
brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, 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 be barred after the third
anniversary of the dissolution.
Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of
our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete
our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, is not considered a liquidating distribution
under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings
that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL,
the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead
of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within
24 months from the closing of this offering, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held
in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders'
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and
(iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders
and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims
of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon
as reasonably possible following our 18th month and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our
stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability
of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.
Because we will not be complying with Section 280,
Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for
our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years.
However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching
for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment
bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in our underwriting
agreement, we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do
business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust
account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against us are significantly limited and the likelihood
that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the trust account is remote. Further, our sponsor may be liable
only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the trust account are not reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share
or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account,
due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will not
be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our sponsor
will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
99
If we file a bankruptcy petition or an
involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject
to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority
over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will
be able to return $10.00 per share to our public stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary
bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under
applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance."
As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders. Furthermore, our board
of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing
itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing
the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
Our public stockholders will be entitled
to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination,
(ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend any provisions of
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100%
of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering
or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity,
and (iii) the redemption of all of our public shares if we are unable to complete our business combination within 24 months
from the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest
of any kind to or in the trust account. In the event we seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial business combination,
a stockholder's voting in connection with the initial business combination alone will not result in a stockholder's
redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its
redemption rights as described above. These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, like all provisions
of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, may be amended with a stockholder vote.
Comparison of Redemption or Purchase Prices in Connection
with Our Initial Business Combination and if We Fail to Complete Our Initial Business Combination
The following table compares the redemptions and other permitted
purchases of public shares that may take place in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and if we
are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering.

Redemptions
if we fail to Complete an
Initial Business
Combination
Calculation of redemption price
Redemptions at the time of our initial business combination may be made pursuant to a tender offer or in connection with a stockholder vote. The redemption price will be the same whether we conduct redemptions pursuant to a tender offer or in connection with a stockholder vote. In either case, our public stockholders may redeem their public shares for cash equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination (which is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share), including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitation that  no redemptions will take place, if all of the redemptions would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (as described elsewhere in this prospectus) and any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) agreed to in connection with the negotiation of terms of a proposed initial business combination.
If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to or following completion of our initial business combination. There is no limit to the prices that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may pay in these transactions.
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering, we will redeem all public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal
to the aggregate amount, then on deposit in the trust account (which is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share including
interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000
of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.
Impact to remaining stockholders
The redemptions in connection with our initial business combination will reduce the book value per share for our remaining stockholders, who will bear the burden of the marketing fee and the taxes payable.
If the permitted purchases described above are made there would be no impact to our remaining stockholders because the purchase price would not be paid by us.
The redemption of our public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination will reduce the book value per share for the shares held by our initial stockholders, who will be our only remaining stockholders after such redemptions.
Comparison of This Offering to Those of Blank Check Companies
Subject to Rule 419
The following table compares the terms
of this offering to the terms of an offering by a blank check company subject to the provisions of Rule 419. This comparison
assumes that the gross proceeds, underwriting commissions and underwriting expenses of our offering would be identical to those
of an offering undertaken by a company subject to Rule 419, and that the underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment
option. None of the provisions of Rule 419 apply to our offering.
101
Terms of Our Offering
Terms Under a Rule 419 Offering
Escrow of offering proceeds
$150,000,000 of the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement units will be deposited into a trust account in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
Approximately $132,250,000 of the offering proceeds would be deposited into either an escrow account with an insured depositary institution or in a separate bank account established by a broker-dealer in which the broker-dealer acts as trustee for persons having the beneficial interests in the account.
Investment of net proceeds
$150,000,000 of the net offering proceeds and the sale of the private placement units held in trust will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
Proceeds could be invested only in specified securities such as a money market fund meeting conditions of the Investment Company Act or in securities that are direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to principal or interest by, the United States.
Receipt of interest on escrowed funds
Interest on proceeds from the trust account to be paid to stockholders is reduced by (i) any taxes paid or payable and (ii) in the event of our liquidation for failure to complete our initial business combination within the allotted time, up to $100,000 of net interest that may be released to us should we have no or insufficient working capital to fund the costs and expenses of our dissolution and liquidation.
Interest on funds in escrow account would be held for the sole benefit of investors, unless and only after the funds held in escrow were released to us in connection with our completion of a business combination.
Limitation on fair value or net assets of target business
So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination.
The fair value or net assets of a target business must represent at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds.
102
Terms of Our Offering
Terms Under a Rule 419 Offering
Trading of securities issued
We expect the units will begin trading on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. The Class A common stock and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the 52
nd
day following the date of this prospectus unless Maxim informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to our having filed the Current Report on Form 8-K described below and having issued a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. We will file the Current Report on Form 8-K promptly after the closing of this offering, which closing is anticipated to take place three business days from the date of this prospectus. If the over-allotment option is exercised following the initial filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, an additional Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise of the over-allotment option.
No trading of the units or the underlying Class A common stock and warrants would be permitted until the completion of a business combination. During this period, the securities would be held in the escrow or trust account.
Exercise of the warrants
The warrants cannot be exercised until the later of 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of this offering.
The warrants could be exercised prior to the completion of a business combination, but securities received and cash paid in connection with the exercise would be deposited in the escrow or trust account.
Terms of Our Offering
Terms Under a Rule 419 Offering
Election to remain an investor
We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein. We may not be required by law to hold a stockholder vote. We intend to give approximately 30 days (but not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days) prior written notice of any such meeting, if required, at which a vote shall be taken to approve our initial business combination. If we are not required by law and do not otherwise decide to hold a stockholder vote, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under the SEC's proxy rules. In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. If, however, we hold a stockholder vote, we will, like many blank check companies, offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules. If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. A quorum for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such meeting.
A prospectus containing information pertaining to the business combination required by the SEC would be sent to each investor. Each investor would be given the opportunity to notify the company in writing, within a period of no less than 20 business days and no more than 45 business days from the effective date of a post-effective amendment to the company's registration statement, to decide if it elects to remain a stockholder of the company or require the return of its investment. If the company has not received the notification by the end of the 45
th
business day, funds and interest or dividends, if any, held in the trust or escrow account are automatically returned to the stockholder. Unless a sufficient number of investors elect to remain investors, all funds on deposit in the escrow account must be returned to all of the investors and none of the securities are issued.

Business combination deadline
If we are unable to complete an initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up,
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares,
at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned
on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public
stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject
to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our
remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware
law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
If a business combination has not been completed within 18 months after the effective date of the company's registration statement, funds held in the trust or escrow account are returned to investors.
104
Limitation on redemption rights of stockholders holding more
than
25
% of the shares sold in this offering if we hold a stockholder vote
If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination
and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public stockholder (including our affiliates), together with any
affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as
defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to Excess Shares
(more than an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in this offering). Our public stockholders' inability to redeem Excess
Shares will reduce their influence over our ability to complete our initial business combination and they could suffer a material
loss on their investment in us if they sell any Excess Shares in open market transactions.
Many blank check companies provide no restrictions on the ability of stockholders to redeem shares based on the number of shares held by such stockholders in connection with an initial business combination.
Terms of Our Offering
Terms Under a Rule 419 Offering
Tendering stock certificates in connection with a tender offer or redemption rights
We may require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name," to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents mailed to such holders or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company's DWAC System, at the holder's option. The tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a public stockholder would have from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the initial business combination if we distribute proxy materials, as applicable, to tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights.
In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with their business combinations, holders could vote against a proposed initial business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating such holders were seeking to exercise their redemption rights. After the business combination was approved, the company would contact such stockholders to arrange for them to deliver their certificate to verify ownership.
105
Terms of Our Offering
Terms Under a Rule 419 Offering
Release of funds
Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in
the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the private
placement units  held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of:
(i) the completion of our initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in
connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance
or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24
months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights
or pre-business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of 100% of our public shares if we are unable to complete an
initial business combination within the required time frame (subject to the requirements of applicable law). On the completion
of our initial business combination, all amounts held in the trust account will be released to us, less amounts released to a separate
account controlled by the trustee for disbursal to redeeming stockholders. We will use these funds to pay amounts due to any public
stockholders who exercise their redemption rights as described above under "Redemption rights for public stockholders upon
completion of our initial business combination," to pay all or a portion of the consideration payable to the target or owners
of the target of our initial business combination and to pay other expenses associated with our initial business combination, including
the marketing fee pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement described under "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Business
Combination Marketing Agreement."
The proceeds held in the escrow account are not released until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the failure to effect a business combination within the allotted time.
106
Competition
In identifying, evaluating and selecting
a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business
objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, and operating
businesses seeking strategic business combinations. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying
and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial,
technical, human and other resources than we do. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available
financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the initial business combination of a target
business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public stockholders who exercise their redemption rights
may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination and our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution
they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a
competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.
Facilities
Our executive offices are located at The
Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10174, and our telephone number is 212-895-3500. Our executive offices are provided
to us by our sponsor, an affiliate of Maxim, for a monthly fee of $5,750 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative
support. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
Employees
We currently have two officers. These individuals
are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they
deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in
any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage
of the initial business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion
of our initial business combination.
Periodic Reporting and Financial Information
We will register our units, Class A
common stock and warrants under the Exchange Act and be subject to reporting obligations thereunder, including the requirement
that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual
reports will contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accountants.
107
We will provide stockholders with audited
financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials
sent to stockholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need
to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial
statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements
may limit the pool of potential targets we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable
to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete
our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure you that any particular target business identified
by us as a potential business combination candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP or IFRS or
that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined
above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While
this may limit the pool of potential business combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.
We will be required to evaluate our internal
control procedures for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are
deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited.
A target company may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls.
The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the
time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination. Prior to the date of this prospectus, we will file a Registration
Statement on Form 8-A with the SEC to voluntarily register our securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. As a
result, we will be subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. We have no current intention of
filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation
of our initial business combination.
We will remain an emerging growth company
until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this
offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to
be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of Class A common stock that are held by non-affiliates
exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on
which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
Legal Proceedings
There is no material litigation, arbitration
or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.

109
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
We will have 5 directors upon
completion of this offering. Our board of directors will be divided into two classes with only one class of directors being
elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders)
serving a two-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual
meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class
of directors, consisting of Messrs. Braunstein, Leibler and ____________ will expire at our first annual meeting of
stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Tsirigakis and Syllantavos,
will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders.
Our officers are appointed by the board
of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors
is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers
may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Managing Directors, Managing Directors,
President, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretaries and such other offices as may be determined by the board
of directors.
Director Independence
So long as we obtain and maintain a
listing for our securities on Nasdaq, a majority of our board of directors must be independent beginning one year following
this offering. An "independent director" is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of
the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company's
board of directors, would interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the
responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Braunstein, Leibler and ____________ are
"independent directors" as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent
directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Officer and Director Compensation
None of our officers has received any cash compensation for
services rendered to us. Commencing on the date of this prospectus, we have agreed to pay our sponsor, an affiliate of Maxim, a
total of $5,750 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. No compensation of any kind,
including any finder's fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by
us to our officers and directors, or, other than as described herein, to our sponsor or any affiliate of our sponsor or officers,
prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination
(regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence
on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor,
officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using
funds held outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, we do not expect to have any
additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.
After the completion of our initial business
combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the
combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials
or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed initial business combination. We have
not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because
the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation
to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation
committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
110
We do not intend to take any action to
ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination,
although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain
with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain
their positions with us may influence our management's motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do
not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will
be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements
with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors will have two standing
committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and
Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors,
and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.
Audit Committee
Prior to the consummation of this
offering, we will establish an audit committee of the board of directors. Messrs. Braunstein, Leibler and ____________ will
serve as members of our audit committee, and Mr. Leibler will chair the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing
standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must
be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Messrs. Braunstein, Leibler and ____________ meet the independent
director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.
Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and
our board of directors has determined that Mr. Leibler qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined
in applicable SEC rules.
We will adopt an audit committee charter,
which will detail the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
·
the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
·
pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
·
setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm, including but not limited to, as required by applicable laws and regulations;
·
setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
·
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (i) the independent registered public accounting firm's internal quality-control procedures, (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues and (iii) all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us to assess the independent registered public accounting firm's independence;
111
·
reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
·
reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation Committee
Prior to the consummation of this
offering, we will establish a compensation committee of the board of directors. Messrs. Braunstein, Leibler and
____________ will serve as members of our compensation committee and Mr. Braunstein will chair the compensation committee.
Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation
committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions.
We will adopt a compensation committee
charter, which will detail the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
·
reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer's compensation, if any is paid by us, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;
·
reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation, if any is paid by us, of all of our other officers;
·
reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;
·
implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
·
assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
·
approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;
·
if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
·
reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
As indicated above, no compensation of
any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our officers or directors, prior to, or for
any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial business combination. Accordingly, it is likely
that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the
review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.
112
The charter will also provide that the
compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or
other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser.
However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation
committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing nominating
committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or
Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a
director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can
satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a
standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director
nominees will be Messrs. Braunstein, Leibler and ____________. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules,
Messrs. Braunstein, Leibler and ____________ are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not
have a nominating committee charter in place.
The board of directors will also consider
director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand
for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders
that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.
We have not formally established any specific,
minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating
nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge
of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our
stockholders.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our officers currently serves,
or in the past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on
our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
Prior to the consummation of this offering,
we will have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We will file a copy of our Code of Ethics
and our audit and compensation committee charters as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC's web site at
www.sec.gov
. In
addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments
to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K. See the section of this prospectus
entitled "Where You Can Find Additional Information."
Conflicts of Interest
Investment ideas generated within Maxim
and their respective affiliates may be suitable for both us and for a current or future affiliate of Maxim, a fund or separate
account or client advised or managed by Maxim, or their affiliates and may be directed to such affiliate, investment vehicle, fund
or client rather than to us. None of Maxim (or its affiliates) and members of our management team who are also employed by or provide
services to Maxim (or its affiliates) have any obligation to present us with any opportunity for a potential business combination
of which they become aware, unless presented to such member solely in his or her capacity as an officer of the company. Maxim and/or
our management, in their capacities as employees of Maxim (or its affiliates) or in their other endeavors, currently are required
to present certain investment opportunities and potential business combinations to the various related entities described above,
current Maxim investment vehicles, or third parties, before they present such opportunities to us. Maxim may have similar obligations
to future investment vehicles or third parties.
113
We may, at our option, pursue an Affiliated
Joint Acquisition opportunity with Maxim (or its affiliates) or an entity to which Maxim (or its affiliates) or an officer or director
has a fiduciary or contractual obligation, but such parties would co-invest only if permitted by applicable regulatory and other
legal limitations and to the extent considered appropriate. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the
time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination by
making a specified future issuance to any such fund or vehicle.
Each of our officers and directors presently
have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which
such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity. Accordingly, if any of our officers
or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current
fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity
to such entity. We believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will not
materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. We may, at our option, pursue an Affiliated Joint Acquisition
opportunity with Maxim (or their respective affiliates) or an entity to which Maxim (or its affiliates) or an officer or director
has a fiduciary or contractual obligation, but such parties would co-invest only if permitted by applicable regulatory and other
legal limitations and to the extent considered appropriate. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the
time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination by
making a specified future issuance to any such entity. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that
we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered
to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally
and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or
officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.
Our officers have agreed not to become
an officer of any other special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act until
we have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination or we have failed to complete our initial
business combination within 24 months after the closing of this offering. Potential investors should also be aware of the following
other potential conflicts of interest:
·
None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities.
·
In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
·
Our sponsor and Nautilus have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to waive redemption rights with respect to its founder shares and private placement shares. Additionally, our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and private placement shares held by them if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within 24 months after the closing of this offering. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement units will expire worthless. With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable by our sponsor until the earlier of: (A) six months after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private placement units, the private placement warrants and the Class A common stock underlying the private placement units will not be transferable, assignable or saleable by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Since our sponsor and officers and directors may directly or indirectly own common stock and warrants following this offering, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
114
·
Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
·
Our sponsor, officers or directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements as we may obtain loans from our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or any of our officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
The conflicts described above may not be resolved
in our favor.
In general, officers and directors of a
corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation
if:
·
the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
·
the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and
·
it would not be fair to our company and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
Accordingly, as a result of multiple business
affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting
the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide
that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly
offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are
legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director
or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.
Below is a table
summarizing the entities to which our officers, directors and director nominees currently have fiduciary duties or contractual
obligations:

Accordingly, if any of the above officers,
directors or director nominees becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for any of the above entities
to which he or she has current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations
to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an
initial business combination with a business that is affiliated with our initial stockholders, officers or directors. In the event
we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a business, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain
an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA, or from an independent accounting firm, that
such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
In the event that we submit our
initial business combination to our public stockholders for a vote, pursuant to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers,
directors, and Nautilus have agreed to vote any founder shares and private placement shares held by them and any public
shares purchased during or after the offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of
our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business combination.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and
Directors
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware
law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary
duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally
violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper
personal benefit from their actions as directors.
We will enter into agreements with our
officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also will permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or
employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification.
We will purchase a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify
our officers and directors.
These provisions may discourage stockholders
from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of
reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might
otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent
we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We believe that these provisions, the directors'
and officers' liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced
officers and directors.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information
regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the date of this prospectus, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of
our common stock included in the units offered by this prospectus, and assuming no purchase of units in this offering, by:
·
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock;
·
each of our officers, directors and director nominees that beneficially owns shares of our common stock; and
·
all our officers, directors and director nominees as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe
that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially
owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the private placement warrants as these warrants
are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this prospectus.
Our initial stockholders own an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder
shares (up to 562,500 of which are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies if the underwriters'
over-allotment option is not exercised in full). In addition, our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies have committed, pursuant
to a written agreement, to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full), in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of this offering.
The following table presents the number of shares and percentage of our common stock owned by our initial stockholders before and
after this offering. The post-offering numbers and percentages presented assume that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment
option, that our initial stockholders forfeit 562,500 founder shares on a pro rata basis, and that there are an aggregate of 19,215,500
shares of common stock, consisting of (i) 15,465,500 shares of our Class A common stock (ii) 3,750,000 shares of
our Class B common stock, issued and outstanding after this offering.

of the offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of our initial stockholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares
of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the

Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private
Placement Units
The founder shares, private placement units,
private placement shares, private placement warrants and any shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion or exercise
thereof are each subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in a letter agreement with us to be entered into
by our sponsor, officers, directors, Nautilus and HB Strategies. Those lock-up provisions provide that such securities are not
transferable or salable (i) in the case of the founder shares until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion
of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale
price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our
initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization
or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock
for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement units, private placement shares, private
placement warrants and any shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion or exercise thereof, until 30 days after
the completion of our initial business combination, except in each case (a) to our officers or directors, any current or future
affiliates or family members of any of our officers or directors, any members of our sponsor or other initial stockholders, or
any current or future affiliates of our sponsor or other initial stockholders, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to
a member of one of the members of the individual's immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of
one of the individual's immediate family, an current or future affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization;
(c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in
the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection

prior to the completion of our initial business combination; or (g) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or the limited liability
company agreement of our initial stockholders upon dissolution of such holder; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through
(e) or (g) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions
and the other restrictions contained in the letter agreements and by the same agreements entered into by our initial stockholders
with respect to such securities (including provisions relating to voting, the trust account and liquidation distributions described
elsewhere in this prospectus).
Furthermore, so long as they are held by
our initial stockholders, the private placement warrants will also not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date
of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Registration Rights
The holders of the initial shares, private
placement units, private placement shares, private placement warrants, shares of Class A common stock underlying the private
placement warrants, units issuable upon conversion of working capital loans (if any), warrants underlying such units and the shares
of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of or underlying the foregoing and upon conversion of the initial shares will
have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights
agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands,
excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these
holders will have "piggy-back" registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed
by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our sponsor may not exercise its demand and "piggyback" registration rights after
five (5) and (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. In addition, if Hudson Bay acquires units in this
offering and becomes an affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act) of us following this offering, we have agreed to file a registration
statement following this offering to register the resale of the units (including the shares of Class A common stock and warrants
included in the units) purchased by Hudson Bay (or its nominee) in this offering.
119
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
In April 2010, an affiliate of our sponsor
purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344
shares of our common stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited
257,649 shares of our common stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify
as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares,
which represented all of the common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and
we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares. On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock
to the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class
B Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares
held by our initial stockholders, an aggregate of up to 562,500 are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies,
on a pro rata basis, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The number of founder shares issued
and outstanding was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares
upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units).
If we increase or decrease the size of the offering we will effect a stock dividend or a share contribution back to capital or
other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to our Class B common stock immediately prior to the consummation
of the offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of our initial stockholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares
of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the
private placement units). Up to 562,500 founder shares are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies on
a pro rata basis depending on the extent to which the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised. The founder shares
(including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred,
assigned or sold by the holders.
Our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies
have committed to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full), in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of this offering.
The private placement warrants will be
identical to the warrants contained in the units sold in this offering except that the private placement warrants, so long as they
are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may not (including
the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred,
assigned or sold by our initial stockholders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, (iii) may
be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (iv) will be entitled to registration rights and (v) for so long as
they are held by our sponsor, will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). Our initial stockholders will be permitted
to transfer the private placement units and underlying securities, held by them to certain permitted transferees, including our
officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with or related to it, but the transferees receiving such securities
will be subject to the same agreements with respect to such securities as our initial stockholders. These securities will not,
subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.
The private placement warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees.
The private placement warrants may also be exercised by our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees for cash or on
a cashless basis. Otherwise, the private placement warrants, have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants
being sold as part of the units in this offering, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
As more fully discussed in the section
of this prospectus entitled "Management — Conflicts of Interest," if any of our officers or directors becomes
aware of an initial business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has
then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present
such business combination opportunity to such other entity. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary
duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us. We may, at our option, pursue an Affiliated Joint
Acquisition opportunity with Maxim (or its affiliates) or an entity to which Maxim (or its affiliates) or an officer or director
has a fiduciary or contractual obligation, but such parties would co-invest only if permitted by applicable regulatory and other
legal limitations and to the extent considered appropriate. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the
time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the initial business combination by
making a specified future issuance to any such entity.
Commencing on the date of this prospectus,
we have agreed to pay our sponsor an affiliate of Maxim, a total of $5,750 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial
and administrative support. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these
monthly fees.
Other than as described below, no compensation
of any kind, including any finder's fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will
be paid by us to our sponsor, officers and directors, or any affiliate of our sponsor or officers, prior to, or in connection with
any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of an initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction
that it is). However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities
on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our
audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their
affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on
the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
120
Prior to the closing of this offering,
our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies have agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses
of this offering. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the closing
of this offering. The loan will be repaid upon the closing of this offering out of the estimated $780,000 of offering proceeds
that has been allocated to the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions).
In order to finance transaction costs in
connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers,
directors and affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete an initial
business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we
may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust
account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after
the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units at a price
of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical to the private placement
warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such additional loans by our officers
and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to
seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing
to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
After our initial business combination,
members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with
any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation
materials, as applicable, furnished to our stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time
of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination,
as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
We will enter into a registration rights
agreement with respect to the private placement units, private placement shares, private placement warrants, shares of Class A
common stock underlying the private placement warrants, units issuable upon conversion of working capital loans (if any), warrants
underlying such units and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of or underlying the foregoing and upon
conversion of the initial shares, which is described under the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Securities
 — Registration Rights."
Hudson Bay has indicated an interest in
purchasing, directly or indirectly, up to 3,000,000 units in this offering at the public offering price. However, indications of
interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase and Hudson Bay may decide not to purchase any units in this offering.
In addition, the underwriters could determine to sell fewer units to Hudson Bay than they indicated an interest in purchasing or
could determine not to sell any units to Hudson Bay. If Hudson Bay acquires units in this offering and becomes an affiliate (as
defined in the Securities Act) of us following this offering, we have agreed to file a registration statement following this offering
to register the resale of the units (including the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included in the units) purchased
by Hudson Bay (or its nominee) in this offering.
The following table shows the underwriting
discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming
both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

We have engaged Maxim as an advisor in connection
with our business combination, pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement described under "Underwriting (Conflicts
of Interest)—Business Combination Marketing Agreement." We will pay Maxim a cash fee for such services upon the consummation
of our initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of this offering, including
any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. As a result, Maxim will not be
entitled to such fee unless we consummate our initial business combination.
Related Party Policy
We have not yet adopted a formal policy
for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed above were not
reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.
Prior to the consummation of this offering,
we will adopt a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or
resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings
with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or
relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company. A form of the code of ethics that
we plan to adopt prior to the consummation of this offering is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part.
In addition, our audit committee, pursuant
to a written charter that we will adopt prior to the consummation of this offering, will be responsible for reviewing and approving
related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members
of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction.
A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent
of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. A form of the audit committee
charter that we plan to adopt prior to the consummation of this offering is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part. We also require each of our directors and officers to complete a directors' and officers'
questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended to determine
whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part
of a director, employee or officer.
To further minimize conflicts of interest,
we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our sponsor, officers
or directors unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking
firm which is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm that our initial business combination is fair to our company
from a financial point of view. Furthermore, there will be no finder's fees, reimbursement, consulting fee, non-cash payments,
monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation paid by us to our sponsor, officers or directors, or any affiliate
of our sponsor or officers prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our
initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is) other than the following payments, none of which
will be made from the proceeds of this offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
·
Repayment of up to an aggregate of $300,000 in loans made to
us by certain initial stockholders of ours, which such holders have committed to cover offering-related and organizational expenses;
·
Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination;
·
Repayment of loans which may be made by our initial stockholders,
affiliates of such holders or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended
initial business combination, the terms of which have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect
thereto. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of
the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise
price, exercisability and exercise period;
·
Payment to Maxim of its underwriting discount, marketing fee, fees for any financial advisory, placement agency or other similar investment banking services Maxim may provide to our company in the future, and reimbursement of Maxim for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with the performance of such services; and
·
Payment to our sponsor, an affiliate of Maxim, of $5,750 per
month for up to 24 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.
Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments
that were made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.
122
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of
Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value, and 1,000,000
shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital
stock. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.
Units
Public Units
Each unit has an offering price of $10.00
and consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as
described in this prospectus. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number
of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrantholder.
No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you
purchase a multiple of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down to the
nearest whole number of warrants.
We expect the Class A common stock
and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the 52
nd
day following the date of this prospectus
unless Maxim informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to our having filed the Current Report on Form 8-K
described below and having issued a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. Once the shares of Class A
common stock and warrants commence separate trading, holders will have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units
into the component securities. Holders will need to have their brokers contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units
into shares of Class A common stock and warrants.
In no event will the Class A common
stock and warrants be traded separately until we have filed with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K which includes an audited
balance sheet reflecting our receipt of the gross proceeds at the closing of this offering. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K
which includes this audited balance sheet upon the completion of this offering, which closing is anticipated to take place three
business days after the date of this prospectus. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised following the initial
filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, a second or amended Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed to provide updated
financial information to reflect the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
123
Private Placement Units
The private placement units (including
the private placement warrants or shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants or underlying the
private placement units) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business
combination (except, among other limited exceptions as described under "Principal Stockholders—Restrictions on Transfers
of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units" to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with
our sponsor) and will have certain registration rights. Otherwise, the private placement units are identical to the units sold
in this offering except that the private placement warrants included therein, so long as they are held by our initial stockholders
or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may not (including the Class A common stock
issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by our initial
stockholders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders
on a cashless basis, (iv) will be entitled to registration rights and (v) for so long as they are held by our sponsor,
will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i), as described below under "—Redeemable Warrants —Private
Placement Warrants".
Common Stock
Upon the closing of this offering, 19,215,500
shares of our common stock will be outstanding (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and the corresponding
forfeiture of 562,500 founder shares by our initial stockholders), consisting of:
·
15,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock underlying the units being offered in this offering;
·
465,500 Class A shares of common stock underlying the private placement units; and
·
3,750,000 shares of Class B common stock held by our initial stockholders.
If we increase or decrease the size of
the offering we will effect a stock dividend or a share contribution back to capital or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable,
with respect to our Class B common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the offering in such amount as to maintain
the ownership of our initial stockholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock upon the consummation
of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units).
Common stockholders of record are entitled
to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of the Class A common stock and holders
of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except
as required by law. Unless specified in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or as required by applicable
provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock that
are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. Our board of directors will be divided into two
classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year.
There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends
when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.
Because our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, if we were to enter into an
initial business combination, we may (depending on the terms of such an initial business combination) be required to increase the
number of shares of Class A common stock which we are authorized to issue at the same time as our stockholders vote on the
initial business combination to the extent we seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial business combination.
In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance
requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until no later than one year after our first fiscal year end following
our listing on Nasdaq. Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, we are, however, required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders
for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with our bylaws, unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of
such a meeting. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of our initial
business combination, and thus we may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual
meeting. Therefore, if our stockholders want us to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation of our initial business combination,
they may attempt to force us to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of
the DGCL.
124
We will provide our stockholders with the
opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the
consummation of our initial business combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously
released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described
herein. The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share. Our sponsor, officers, directors
and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights
with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion
of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights
with respect to its public shares. Unlike many blank check companies that hold stockholder votes and conduct proxy solicitations
in conjunction with their initial business combinations and provide for related redemptions of public shares for cash upon completion
of such initial business combinations even when a vote is not required by law, if a stockholder vote is not required by law and
we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer
documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
will require these tender offer documents to contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business
combination and the redemption rights as is required under the SEC's proxy rules. If, however, a stockholder approval of
the transaction is required by law, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, we will, like
many blank check companies, offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and
not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only
if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. A quorum
for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company
representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such
meeting.
However, the participation of our sponsor,
officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates in privately-negotiated transactions (as described in this prospectus), if any,
could result in the approval of our initial business combination even if a majority of our public stockholders vote, or indicate
their intention to vote, against such business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding
shares of common stock voted, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is
obtained. We intend to give approximately 30 days (but not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days) prior written notice of any
such meeting, if required, at which a vote shall be taken to approve our initial business combination. These quorum and voting
thresholds, and the voting agreements of our initial stockholders, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial
business combination.
If we seek stockholder approval of our
initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public stockholder, together
with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group"
(as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than
an aggregate of 25% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering, which we refer to as the Excess Shares. However, we would
not be restricting our stockholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial
business combination. Our stockholders' inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our ability
to complete our initial business combination, and such stockholders could suffer a material loss in their investment if they sell
such Excess Shares on the open market. Additionally, such stockholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to
the Excess Shares if we complete the initial business combination. And, as a result, such stockholders will continue to hold that
number of shares exceeding 25% and, in order to dispose such shares would be required to sell their stock in open market transactions,
potentially at a loss.
If we seek stockholder approval in
connection with our initial business combination, pursuant to the letter agreement our sponsor, officers, directors, and
Nautilus have agreed to vote their founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares purchased during or after
this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination.
HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business
combination. As a result, in addition to our initial stockholders' founder shares, we would need only 5,392,251, or
35.9%, of the 15,000,000 public shares sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination
(assuming all outstanding shares are voted; or 588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a
quorum are voted and assuming our sponsor, officers, directors and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after
this offering) in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not
exercised). Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem its public shares irrespective of whether they vote for
or against the proposed transaction (subject to the limitation described in the preceding paragraph).
125
Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering,
we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no
more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held
in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders'
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and
(iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders
and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims
of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our sponsor, officers, directors, Nautilus and HB Strategies, have entered
into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the
trust account with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business
combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering. However, if our initial stockholders acquire public shares in or
after this offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares
if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time period.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the company after an initial business combination, our stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock,
if any, having preference over the common stock. Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no
sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that we will provide our stockholders with the opportunity to redeem
their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, upon the
completion of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein.
Founder Shares
The founder shares are identical to the
shares of Class A common stock included in the units being sold in this offering, and holders of founder shares have the same
stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (i) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions,
as described in more detail below, (ii) our sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement
with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private
placement shares, and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (B) to
waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with
a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (x) to modify the substance
or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24
months from the closing of this offering or (y) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights
or pre-initial business combination activity and (C) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account
with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust
account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within such time period,
(iii) HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public
shares, (iv) the founder shares are shares of our Class B common stock that will automatically convert into shares of
our Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination, or at any time prior thereto at the option of the
holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein, and (v) holders of the founder shares are
entitled to registration rights with respect with such shares. If we submit our initial business combination to our public stockholders
for a vote, our sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have agreed pursuant to the letter agreement to vote any founder shares
and private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market
and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business combination.
126
The shares of Class B common
stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination or
at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock
dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the
case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess
of the amounts sold in this prospectus and related to the closing of the initial business combination, including pursuant to
a specified future issuance, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A
common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree
to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, including a specified future issuance) so that
the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will
equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock
outstanding upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private
placement units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in
connection with the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued,
to any seller in the initial business combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to our initial
stockholders or their affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us . We cannot determine at this time whether a majority of
the holders of our Class B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment to the
conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing conditions which
are part of the agreement for our initial business combination; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders on
structuring an initial business combination; or (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger
the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B common stock. If such adjustment is not waived, the specified future
issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of our Class B common stock, but would reduce the
percentage ownership of holders of our Class A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the specified future issuance
would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of our common stock. The term "equity-linked
securities" refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Class A common stock issued in a financing transaction in connection with our initial business combination, including
but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be "deemed issued" for purposes of the
conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or
similar securities.
With certain limited exceptions, the founder
shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated
with our initial stockholders, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) six months after
the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the
last reported sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock
dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
at least 60 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital
stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange
their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Preferred Stock
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors
will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or
other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our
board of directors will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could
adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The
ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date
hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so
in the future. No shares of preferred stock are being issued or registered in this offering.
127
Redeemable Warrants
Public Stockholders' Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the registered
holder to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed
below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or 30 days after the completion of our
initial business combination. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number
of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrantholder.
No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you
purchase a multiple of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down to the
nearest whole number of warrants. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination,
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
We will not be obligated to deliver any
shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise
unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the
warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below
with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common
stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified
or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event
that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such
warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will
we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants,
the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A
common stock underlying such unit.
We are not registering the shares of Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our commercially reasonable
best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of our initial
business combination, and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants
expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60
th
business day after the closing of our
initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any
period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a "cashless basis"
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A
common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the
definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require
holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement,
and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under
applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Once the warrants become exercisable, we
may call the warrants for redemption:
·
in whole and not in part;
·
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
·
upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption (the "30-day redemption period") to each warrantholder; and
·
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.
128
If and when the warrants become redeemable
by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not
exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or
qualification. We will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common stock under the
blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in this offering.
We have established the last of the redemption
criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant
exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrantholder
will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A common
stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
If we call the warrants for redemption
as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a
 "cashless basis." In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a "cashless basis,"
our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive
effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our
warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering
their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product
of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise
price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair
market value" shall mean the average volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for
the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders
of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary
to calculate the number of shares of Class A common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the "fair
market value" in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and
thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not
need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call our warrants for redemption
and our management does not take advantage of this option, our initial stockholders and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to
exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrantholders
would have been required to use had all warrantholders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described
in more detail below.
A holder of a warrant may notify us in
writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant,
to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person's affiliates), to the warrant
agent's actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify)
of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
If the number of outstanding shares of
Class A common stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A common stock, or by a split-up of
shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar
event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to
such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A common stock
entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock
dividend of a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A
common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering
that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the
price per share of Class A common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these
purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock, in determining
the price payable for Class A common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as
well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average
price of Class A common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the
first date on which the shares of Class A common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular
way, without the right to receive such rights.
129
In addition, if we, at any time while
the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the
holders of Class A common stock on account of such shares of Class A common stock (or other shares of our capital
stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash
dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a
proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock
in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the
substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Class A common stock if we do not complete our initial
business combination within 24 months  from the closing of this offering or (ii) with
respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, or
(e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business
combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event,
by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A
common stock in respect of such event.
If the number of outstanding shares of
our Class A common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of
Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock
split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant
will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A common stock.
Whenever the number of shares of Class A
common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be
adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of
which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior
to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock so purchasable
immediately thereafter.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of
such shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification
or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which
we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the
terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of our Class A common stock immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other
securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon
a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised
their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A
common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A common stock in the successor entity that is listed for
trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading
or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty
days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement
based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction
is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of
the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants in
order to determine and realize the option value component of the warrant. This formula is to compensate the warrant holder for
the loss of the option value portion of the warrant due to the requirement that the warrant holder exercise the warrant within
30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market
price for an instrument is available.
130
The warrants will be issued in registered
form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. You should
review a copy of the warrant agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The warrant agreement provides that
the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision,
but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that
adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.
The warrants may be exercised upon surrender
of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the
reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price
(or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised.
The warrantholders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock and any voting rights until they
exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock
upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to
be voted on by stockholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon
exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share,
we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the warrantholder.
Private Placement Warrants
The private placement warrants (including
the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or
salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions as described
under the section of this prospectus entitled "Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares
and Private Placement Units," to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with our initial stockholders) and
they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees. Our initial stockholders, or their permitted
transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the private
placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units in this
offering, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the private placement warrants are held by holders
other than our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by
the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in this offering.
If holders of the private placement warrants
elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of
shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of
Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and
the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" shall
mean the average volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending
on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that
we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted
transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination.
If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect
to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during
such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or
she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from
doing so. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.
131
In order to finance transaction costs
in connection with an intended initial business combination, our initial stockholders or certain affiliates of such holders
or certain of our officers, directors and affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be
required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at
the option of the lender. The warrants contained in such units would be identical to the private placement warrants,
including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
In addition, holders of our private placement
warrants are entitled to certain registration rights and any private placement warrants held by our initial stockholders will not be exercisable
more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Our initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer,
assign or sell any of the private placements units, private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of any of these warrants) and private placement shares until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete
our initial business combination, except that, among other limited exceptions as described under the section of this prospectus
entitled "Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units" made
to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with our initial stockholders.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on
our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of an initial business combination. The
payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general
financial conditions subsequent to completion of an initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent
to an initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. If we increase or decrease
the size of the offering we will effect a stock dividend or a share contribution back to capital or other appropriate mechanism,
as applicable, with respect to our Class B common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the offering in such amount
as to maintain the ownership of our initial stockholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock upon the
consummation of this offering (excluding the private placement shares). Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare
dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.
Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
The transfer agent for our common stock
and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders,
directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities
in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person
or entity.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will contain certain requirements and restrictions relating to this offering that will apply to us until the completion
of our initial business combination. These provisions cannot be amended without the approval of the holders of 65% of our common
stock. Our initial stockholders, who will collectively beneficially own approximately 20% of our common stock upon the closing
of this offering (assuming they do not purchase any units in this offering and not including the shares of Class A common
stock underlying the private placement units), will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. Specifically, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
provides, among other things, that:
·
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months  from the closing of this offering, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law;
132
·
Prior to our initial business combination, we may not issue additional shares of capital stock that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the trust account or (ii) vote on any initial business combination;
·
Although we do not intend to enter into an initial business combination with a target business that is affiliated with our initial stockholders, our directors or our officers, we are not prohibited from doing so. In the event we enter into such a transaction, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm that such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view;
·
If a stockholder vote on our initial business combination is not required by law and we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will offer to redeem our public shares pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, and will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about our initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act; whether or not we maintain our registration under the our Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq, we will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares by one of the two methods listed above;
·
So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, Nasdaq rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination;
·
If our stockholders approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-business combination activity, we will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares; and
·
We will not effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.
In addition, our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation will provide that we will only redeem our public shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets
will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion of our initial business combination.
133
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
We will be subject to the provisions of
Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers upon completion of this offering. This statute prevents certain Delaware
corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a "business combination" with:
·
a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an "interested stockholder");
·
an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or
·
an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.
A "business combination" includes
a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:
·
our board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an "interested stockholder," prior to the date of the transaction;
·
after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or
·
on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the initial business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide that our board of directors will be classified into two classes of directors. As a result, in most circumstances,
a person can gain control of our board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings.
Our authorized but unissued common stock
and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval (including a specified future issuance) and
could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and
employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more
difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Exclusive forum for certain lawsuits
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against
directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery
in the State of Delaware, except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that
there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not
consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is
vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery
does not have subject matter jurisdiction or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act, as to which the Court of Chancery
and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. If an action is brought outside
of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder's
counsel. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in
the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that this provision is unenforceable, and to the extent it is
enforceable, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers, although our stockholders
will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
134
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation
will provide that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. However,
Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability
created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply
to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have
exclusive jurisdiction. In addition, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state
courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created
by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction.
Special meeting of stockholders
Our bylaws provide that special meetings
of our stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors, by our Chief Executive Officer or by our Chairman.
Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals
and director nominations
Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking
to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual
meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice will
need to be received by the company secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90
th
day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120
th
day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately
preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in our annual
proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form
and content of a stockholders' meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual
meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.
Action by written consent
Subsequent to the consummation of the offering,
any action required or permitted to be taken by our common stockholders must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting
of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders other than with respect to our Class B
common stock.
Classified Board of Directors
Our board of directors will initially be
divided into two classes, Class I and Class II, with members of each class serving staggered two-year terms. Our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution
of the board of directors. Subject to the terms of any preferred stock, any or all of the directors may be removed from office
at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding
shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any vacancy
on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our board of directors, may be filled only by vote
of a majority of our directors then in office.
Class B Common Stock Consent Right
For so long as any shares of Class B
common stock remain outstanding, we may not, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares
of Class B common stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, amend, alter or repeal any provision our certificate
of incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change
the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other or special rights of the Class B common stock. Any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the holders of Class B common stock may be taken without a meeting, without
prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the
holders of the outstanding Class B common stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Class B common stock were present and voted.
135
Securities Eligible for Future Sale
Immediately after the consummation of
this offering (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) we will have 19,215,500 (or 22,077,500
if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) shares of common stock outstanding. Of these shares,
the 15,000,000 shares (or 17,250,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) sold in this
offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares
purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of the remaining
3,750,000 (or 4,312,500 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) shares and all 465,500 private
placement units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full)
(and their underlying securities) are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private
transactions not involving a public offering, and the shares of Class B common stock and private placement warrants, and
the securities underlying the foregoing, are subject to transfer restrictions as set forth elsewhere in this prospectus.
These restricted securities will be entitled to registration rights as more fully described below under "—
Registration Rights."
Rule 144
Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who
has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their
securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during
the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least
three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during
the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned restricted
shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during
the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell
within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:
·
1% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock then outstanding, which will equal 191,775 shares immediately after this offering (or 220,350 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full); or
·
the average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144
are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about
us.
Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies
or Former Shell Companies
Rule 144 is not available for the
resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that
have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition
if the following conditions are met:
·
the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
·
the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
·
the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and materials required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and
·
at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
136
As a result, our initial stockholders will
be able to sell their founder shares and private placement units, and the securities underlying the foregoing, as applicable, pursuant
to Rule 144 without registration one year after we have completed our initial business combination.
Registration Rights
The holders of the initial shares, private
placement units, private placement shares, private placement warrants, shares of Class A common stock underlying the private
placement warrants, units issuable upon conversion of working capital loans (if any), warrants underlying such units and the shares
of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of or underlying the foregoing and upon conversion of the initial shares will
be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of
this offering, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the initial shares, only after conversion to
our Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding
short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration
rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination and rights
to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses
incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our sponsor may not
exercise its demand and "piggyback" registration rights after five (5) and (7) years, respectively, after
the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and may not exercise its demand rights on
more than one occasion. In addition, if Hudson Bay acquires units in this offering and becomes an affiliate (as defined in the
Securities Act) of us following this offering, we have agreed to file a registration statement following this offering to register
the resale of the units (including the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included in the units) purchased by Hudson Bay
(or its nominee) in this offering.
Listing of Securities
We have applied to list our units, Class A
common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols "GCACU," "GCAC" and "GCACW," respectively.
We expect that our units will be listed on Nasdaq on or promptly after the effective date of the registration statement. Following
the date the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants are eligible to trade separately, we anticipate that the shares
of our Class A common stock and warrants will be listed separately and as a unit on Nasdaq. We cannot guarantee that our securities
will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.
137
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a discussion of U.S. federal
income tax consequences generally applicable to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our units, shares of Class A
common stock and warrants, which we refer to collectively as our securities. Because the components of a unit are separable at
the option of the holder, the holder of a unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner
of the underlying Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant components of the unit, as the case may be.
As a result, the discussion below with respect to actual holders of Class A common stock and warrants should also apply to
holders of units (as the deemed owners of the underlying Class A common stock and warrants that comprise the units). This
discussion applies only to securities that are held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is applicable only
to holders who purchased units in this offering.
This discussion is a summary only and does
not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including but not
limited to the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply
if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, including but not limited to:
·
financial institutions or financial services entities;
·
broker-dealers;
·
governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
·
regulated investment companies;
·
real estate investment trusts;
·
expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.;
·
persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares;
·
insurance companies;
·
dealers or traders subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to the securities;
·
persons holding the securities as part of a "straddle," hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;
·
U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
·
partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any beneficial owners of such entities;
and
·
tax-exempt entities.
If you are a partnership (or other entity
or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal
income tax treatment of your partners will generally depend on the status of the partners and your activities.
This discussion is based on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary
and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and changes
to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does
not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and
estate taxes).
138
We have not sought, and will not seek,
a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein.
The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the
statements in this discussion. You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws
to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.
Personal Holding Company Status
We could be subject to a second level of
U.S. federal income tax on a portion of our income if we are determined to be a personal holding company, or PHC, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. A U.S. corporation generally will be classified as a PHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a given taxable
year if (i) at any time during the last half of such taxable year, five or fewer individuals (without regard to their citizenship
or residency and including as individuals for this purpose certain entities such as certain tax-exempt organizations, pension funds
and charitable trusts) own or are deemed to own (pursuant to certain constructive ownership rules) more than 50% of the stock of
the corporation by value and (ii) at least 60% of the corporation's adjusted ordinary gross income, as determined for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, for such taxable year consists of PHC income (which includes, among other things, dividends,
interest, certain royalties, annuities and, under certain circumstances, rents).
At least 60% of our adjusted ordinary gross
income may consist of PHC income, depending on the date and size of our initial business combination. In addition, depending on
the concentration of our stock in the hands of individuals, including the members of our sponsor and certain tax-exempt organizations,
pension funds and charitable trusts, more than 50% of our stock may be owned or deemed owned (pursuant to the constructive ownership
rules) by such persons during the last half of a taxable year. Thus, no assurance can be given that we will not be a PHC following
this offering or in the future. If we are or were to become a PHC in a given taxable year, we would be subject to an additional
PHC tax, currently 20%, on our undistributed PHC income, which generally includes our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments.
Allocation of Purchase Price and Characterization of a Unit
No statutory, administrative or judicial
authority directly addresses the treatment of a unit or instruments similar to a unit for U.S. federal income tax purposes and,
therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. The acquisition of a unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes
as the acquisition of one share of our Class A common stock and one-half of one warrant to acquire one share of our Class A
common stock. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each holder of a unit must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder
for such unit between the one share of Class A common stock and the one-half of one warrant based on the relative fair market
value of each at the time of issuance. Under U.S. federal income tax law, each investor must make his or her own determination
of such value based on all the relevant facts and circumstances. Therefore, we strongly urge each investor to consult his or her
tax adviser regarding the determination of value for these purposes. The price allocated to each share of Class A common stock
and the one-half of one warrant should be the stockholder's tax basis in such share or one-half of one warrant, as the case
may be. Any disposition of a unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disposition of the share of Class A
common stock and one-half of one warrant comprising the unit, and the amount realized on the disposition should be allocated between
the Class A common stock and the one-half of one warrant based on their respective relative fair market values (as determined
by each such unit holder on all the relevant facts and circumstances) at the time of disposition. The separation of shares of Class A
common stock and warrants comprising units should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The foregoing treatment of the shares of
Class A common stock and warrants and a holder's purchase price allocation are not binding on the IRS or the courts.
Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the units, no assurance can be given that
the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each prospective
investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an investment in a unit (including alternative
characterizations of a unit). The balance of this discussion assumes that the characterization of the units described above is
respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
139
U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are
a "U.S. holder." A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our units, shares of Class A common stock or warrants
who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
·
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
·
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof
or the District of Columbia;
·
an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source;
or
·
a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the
trust and one or more U.S. persons (as defined in the Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or
(ii) it has a valid election in effect under Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
Taxation of Distributions.
If
we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our stock or rights to acquire our stock) to
U.S. holders of shares of our Class A common stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal
income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income
tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that
will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in our Class A common stock.
Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A common stock and will
be treated as described under "U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of
Class A Common Stock and Warrants" below.
Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that
is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied.
With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest
deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder
may constitute "qualified dividends" that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital
gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A common stock described in this prospectus may
prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction
or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied,
then a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire
dividend amount, and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead
of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income.
Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange
or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants.
Upon a sale or other taxable disposition
of our Class A common stock or warrants which, in general, would include a redemption of Class A common stock or warrants
that is treated as a sale of such securities as described below, and including as a result of a dissolution and liquidation in
the event we do not consummate an initial business combination within the required time period, a U.S. holder generally will recognize
capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. holder's adjusted tax
basis in the Class A common stock or warrants. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss
if the U.S. holder's holding period for the Class A common stock or warrants so disposed of exceeds one year. It is
unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A common stock described in this prospectus may
suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the Class A
common stock is suspended, then non-corporate U.S. holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for
long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any gain on a sale or taxable disposition of the shares or warrants would be subject
to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized
by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations.
140
Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized
by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value
of any property received in such disposition (or, if the Class A common stock or warrants are held as part of units at the
time of the disposition, the portion of the amount realized on such disposition that is allocated to the Class A common stock
or the warrants based upon the then fair market values of the Class A common stock and the warrants included in the units)
and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Class A common stock or warrants so disposed of. A U.S. holder's
adjusted tax basis in its Class A common stock or warrants generally will equal the U.S. holder's acquisition cost (that
is, as discussed above, the portion of the purchase price of a unit allocated to a share of Class A common stock or one-half
of one warrant or, as discussed below, the U.S. holder's initial basis for Class A common stock received upon exercise
of warrants) less, in the case of a share of Class A common stock, any prior distributions treated as a return of capital.
Redemption of Class A Common Stock.
In
the event that a U.S. holder's Class A common stock is redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this
prospectus under the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Securities — Common Stock" or if we
purchase a U.S. holder's Class A common stock in an open market transaction, the treatment of the transaction for U.S.
federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Class A common stock under Section 302
of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as described under "U.S.
Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants"
above. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution
with the tax consequences described above under "U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions". Whether a redemption
qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. holder
(including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of our shares outstanding
both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Class A common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the Class A
common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is "substantially disproportionate"
with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a "complete termination" of the U.S. holder's interest
in us or (iii) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are
explained more fully below.
In determining whether any of the foregoing
tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of our
stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned
by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder,
as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Class A
common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate
test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following
the redemption of Class A common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding
voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination
of a U.S. holder's interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S.
holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder
is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family
members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other shares of our stock. The redemption of the Class A common
stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder's conversion results in a "meaningful reduction"
of the U.S. holder's proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S.
holder's proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated
in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held
corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a "meaningful reduction." A U.S. holder
should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.
If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied,
then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution and the tax effects will be as described under "U.S. Holders
 — Taxation of Distributions," above. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder
in the redeemed Class A common stock will be added to the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or,
if it has none, to the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by
it.
141
Exercise or Lapse of a Warrant.
Except
as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize taxable gain
or loss on the acquisition of common stock upon exercise of a warrant for cash. The U.S. holder's tax basis in the share
of our Class A common stock received upon exercise of the warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S.
holder's initial investment in the warrant (i.e., the portion of the U.S. holder's purchase price for units that is
allocated to the warrant, as described above under "—Allocation of Purchase Price and Characterization of a Unit")
and the exercise price. It is unclear whether the U.S. holder's holding period for the Class A common stock received
upon exercise of the warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the warrants;
in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the warrants. If a warrant is
allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder's tax basis in
the warrant.
The tax consequences of a cashless exercise
of a warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a gain
realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free
situation, a U.S. holder's basis in the Class A common stock received would equal the holder's basis in the warrants
exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a gain realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder's
holding period in the Class A common stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on
the date of exercise of the warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. holder
held the warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Class A common stock
would include the holding period of the warrants exercised therefor.
It is also possible that a cashless exercise
could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder could be
deemed to have surrendered warrants equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock having a value equal to the exercise
price for the total number of warrants to be exercised. The U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal
to the difference between the fair market value of the Class A common stock received in respect of the warrants deemed surrendered
and the U.S. holder's tax basis in the warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. holder's tax basis in the
Class A common stock received would equal the sum of the fair market value of the Class A common stock received in respect
of the warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder's tax basis in the warrants exercised. It is unclear whether a U.S.
holder's holding period for the Class A common stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on
the date of exercise of the warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. holder
held the warrant.
Due to the absence of authority on the
U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. holder's holding period would commence with
respect to the Class A common stock received, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences
and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their
tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.
Possible Constructive Distributions.
The
terms of each warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock for which the warrant may be exercised
or to the exercise price of the warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled "Description
of Securities — Redeemable Warrants — Public Stockholders' Warrants." An adjustment which has the
effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. The U.S. holders of the warrants would, however, be treated as receiving
a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment to the number of such shares or to such exercise price increases
the warrantholders' proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number
of shares of common stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the warrant) as a
result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of shares of our common stock, or
as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of shares of our common stock, in each case which is taxable to the
U.S. holders of such shares as described under "U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions" above. Such constructive
distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. holders of the warrants
received a cash distribution from us equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.
In
general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other
disposition of our units, shares of Class A common stock and warrants, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup
withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of
exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).
142
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding
rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided the
required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are
a "Non-U.S. holder." As used herein, the term "Non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of our units,
Class A common stock or warrants who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
·
a non-resident alien individual (other than certain former citizens and residents of the U.S. subject to U.S. tax as expatriates);
·
a foreign corporation; or
·
an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder;
but generally does not include an individual who is present
in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax
advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or sale or other disposition of our securities.
Taxation of Distributions.
In
general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. holder of shares of our Class A common stock, to the extent paid out of our
current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends
for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder's
conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend
at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax
treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E).
Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder's
adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class A common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder's
adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Class A common stock, which will be treated
as described under "Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A
Common Stock and Warrants" below. In addition, if we determine that we are likely to be classified as a "U.S. real
property holding corporation" (see "Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition
of Class A Common Stock and Warrants" below), we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and
accumulated earnings and profits.
The withholding tax does not apply to dividends
paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S.
holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject
to regular U.S. income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing
otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional "branch
profits tax" imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).
Exercise of a Warrant.
The
U.S. federal income tax treatment of a Non-U.S. holder's exercise of a warrant, or the lapse of a warrant held by a Non-U.S.
holder, generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of a warrant by a U.S. holder,
as described under "U.S. holders — Exercise or Lapse of a Warrant" above, although to the extent a cashless exercise
results in a taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described below in "Non-U.S. Holders — Gain
on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants."
143
Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other
Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants.
A Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A
common stock, which would include a dissolution and liquidation in the event we do not complete an initial business combination
within 24 months from the closing of this offering, or warrants (including an expiration or redemption of our warrants), in each
case without regard to whether those securities were held as part of a unit, unless:
·
the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder); or
·
we are or have been a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our Class A common stock, and, in the case where shares of our Class A common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. holder's holding period for the shares of our Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that our Class A common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.
Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise,
gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as
if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is a
foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or lower treaty rate).
If the second bullet point above applies
to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Class A common stock
or warrants will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of our Class A
common stock or warrants from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized
upon such disposition. We cannot determine whether we will be a U.S. real property holding corporation in the future until we complete
an initial business combination. We will be classified as a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of
our "U.S. real property interests" equals or exceeds 50 percent of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide
real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.
Redemption of Class A Common Stock.
The
characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder's Class A common stock
pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Securities —
Common Stock" generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder's
Class A common stock, as described under "U.S. Holders — Redemption of Class A Common Stock" above,
and the consequences of the redemption to the Non-U.S. holder will be as described above under "Non-U.S. holders —
Taxation of Distributions" and "Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition
of Class A Common Stock and Warrants," as applicable.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.
Information
returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of
our units, shares of Class A common stock and warrants. A Non-U.S. holder may have to comply with certification procedures
to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements.
The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty will satisfy the certification requirements
necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. holder will
be allowed as a credit against such holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided
that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
144
FATCA Withholding Taxes.
Provisions
commonly referred to as "FATCA" impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends)
on our Class A common stock or warrants, and, beginning in 2019, sales or other disposition proceeds from our units, shares
of Class A common stock and warrants to "foreign financial institutions" (which is broadly defined for this purpose
and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other Non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and
due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have
been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS
Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the
United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. holder might be eligible
for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return
to claim such refunds or credits. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects of FATCA on their
investment in our securities.
145
UNDERWRITING (CONFLICTS
OF INTEREST)
Maxim is acting as sole book-running manager
of the offering and as representative of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting
agreement dated the date of this prospectus, the underwriters named below have agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to
the underwriters, the following respective number of units set forth opposite the underwriter's name.
Underwriters
Number of
Units
Maxim Group LLC
Total
15,000,000
The underwriting agreement provides that
the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the units included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by
counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the units (other than those covered by the over-allotment
option described below) if they purchase any of the units.
Units sold by the underwriters to the public
will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any units sold by the
underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed [$___] per unit.
After the initial public offering, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The underwriters
have advised us that they do not intend to make sales to discretionary accounts.
If the underwriters sell more units than
the total number set forth in the table above, we have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days from the
date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional units at the public offering price less the underwriting discount.
The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in connection with this offering.
Any units issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other units that are
the subject of this offering.
We, our sponsor and our officers and directors
have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent
of the underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any units, warrants,
shares of common stock or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of common stock, subject
to certain exceptions. The underwriters in their sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements
at any time without notice, other than in the case of the officers and directors, which shall be with notice. Our sponsor, officers
and directors are also subject to separate transfer restrictions on their founder shares and private placement units, and the securities
underlying the foregoing, pursuant to the letter agreement as described herein.
Our initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign
or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of our initial business
combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our Class A
common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination,
or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other
property (except with respect to permitted transferees as described herein under the section of this prospectus entitled "Principal
Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units"). The private placement units,
the private placement shares, the private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of
the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial
business combination (except with respect to permitted transferees as described herein under the section of this prospectus entitled
"Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units").
146
Prior to this offering, there has been
no public market for our securities. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the units was determined by negotiations
between us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price were the history
and prospects of companies whose principal business is the acquisition of other companies, prior offerings of those companies,
our management, our capital structure, and currently prevailing general conditions in the equity securities markets, including
current market valuations of publicly traded companies considered comparable to our company. We cannot assure you, however, that
the price at which the units, Class A common stock or warrants will sell in the public market after this offering will not
be lower than the initial public offering price or that an active trading market in our units, Class A common stock or warrants
will develop and continue after this offering.
We have applied to list our units on Nasdaq
under the symbol "GCACU." We cannot guarantee that our securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. We expect
that our units will be listed on Nasdaq on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. We expect that our Class A common
stock and warrants will be listed under the symbols "GCAC" and "GCACUW," respectively, once the Class A
common stock and warrants begin separate trading.
The following table shows the underwriting
discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming
both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

We will also pay $100,000 to Roth Capital, our "qualified
independent underwriter."
In connection with the offering, the underwriters
may purchase and sell units in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover
short positions, which may include purchases pursuant to the over-allotment option and stabilizing purchases, in accordance with
Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
·
Short sales involve secondary market sales by the underwriters of a greater number of units than it is required to purchase in the offering.
·
"Covered" short sales are sales of units in an amount up to the number of units represented by the underwriters' over-allotment option.
·
"Naked" short sales are sales of units in an amount in excess of the number of units represented by the underwriters' over-allotment option.
·
Covering transactions involve purchases of units either pursuant to the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions.
·
To close a naked short position, the underwriters must purchase units in the open market after the distribution has been completed. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the units in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
·
To close a covered short position, the underwriters must purchase units in the open market after the distribution has been completed or must exercise the over-allotment option. In determining the source of units to close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of units available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase units through the over-allotment option.
·
Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase units so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
147
Purchases to cover short positions and
stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own account, may have the effect of preventing
or retarding a decline in the market price of the units. They may also cause the price of the units to be higher than the price
that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions
in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, it may discontinue them at
any time.
Our sponsor, an affiliate of Maxim, has
agreed to purchase an aggregate of 155,167 units (or 171,677 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 to be paid out of the underwriter's commission
for this offering in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of this offering.
In addition, our sponsor, an affiliate
of Maxim, may, but is not obligated to, loan up to $500,000 to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting
a target business and other working capital requirements. The terms of such commitment and loan have not been determined nor have
any written agreements been executed with respect thereto. However, any such loan may be convertible into our units, at a price
of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Any such warrants would be identical to the warrants to be sold as part of the
private placement units to our initial stockholders. Any such unit issued to our sponsor will be considered underwriting compensation
in connection with this offering. Such units will be subject to lock-up restrictions, as required by FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1) and
may not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging,
short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities by
any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part or commencement of sales of the offering, except as provided in FINRA Rule 5110(g)(2).
We estimate that our portion of the total
expenses of this offering payable by us will be $780,000, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions. We have agreed to reimburse
the underwriters for expenses for up to $100,000, including all expenses and fees related to the review by FINRA, which will not
exceed $26,375, and the expenses of investigations and background checks of our principals not to exceed the lesser of $2,000 per
principal and $20,000 in the aggregate.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may
be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
Except as described under "—Business
Combination Marketing Agreement," we are not under any contractual obligation to engage the underwriters to provide any services
for us after this offering, and have no present intent to do so. However, the underwriters may introduce us to potential target
businesses or assist us in raising additional capital in the future. If the underwriters provide services to us after this offering,
we may pay the underwriters fair and reasonable fees that would be determined at that time in an arm's length negotiation;
provided that no agreement will be entered into with the underwriters and no fees for such services will be paid to the underwriters
prior to the date that is 90 days from the date of this prospectus, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed
underwriters' compensation in connection with this offering and we may pay the underwriters of this offering or any entity
with which it is affiliated a finder's fee or other compensation for services rendered to us in connection with the completion
of an initial business combination.
The underwriters and their affiliates may
in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates,
for which it may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for any such transactions.
148
In addition, in the ordinary course of
their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade
debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account
and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of
ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express
independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they
acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
We have engaged Maxim as an advisor in
connection with our initial business combination to assist us in holding meetings with our stockholders to discuss the potential
initial business combination and the target business' attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested
in purchasing our securities, assist us in obtaining stockholder approval for the initial business combination and assist us with
our press releases and public filings in connection with the initial business combination. We will pay Maxim a cash fee for such
services upon the consummation of our initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds
of this offering, including any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. As
a result, Maxim will not be entitled to such fee unless we consummate our initial business combination.
Conflicts of Interest
Our sponsor is controlled by Maxim. Maxim
Partners is the managing member of our sponsor. MJR Holdings LLC owns 73.15% of the outstanding membership interest of Maxim Partners.
Mr. Michael Rabinowitz is the managing member of MJR Holdings LLC.
As a result, Maxim is
deemed to have a "conflict
of interest" under Rule 5121(f)(5) of the Conduct Rules of FINRA.
Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with Rule 5121 of FINRA's Conduct Rules, which prohibits Maxim
from making sales to discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the account holder and requires that a "qualified
independent underwriter," as defined by FINRA participate in the preparation of the registration statement and exercise the
usual standard of due diligence with respect to such document. We have engaged Roth Capital to be the qualified independent underwriter
and participate in the preparation of the registration statement and exercise the usual standards of "due diligence"
in respect thereto. We agreed to pay Roth Capital a fee of $100,000 upon the completion of this offering in consideration for its
services and expenses as the qualified independent underwriter. Roth Capital will receive no other compensation in connection with
this offering.
Selling Restrictions
Canada
Resale Restrictions
We intend to distribute
our securities in the Province of Ontario, Canada (the "Canadian Offering Jurisdiction") by way of a private placement
and exempt from the requirement that we prepare and file a prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in such Canadian
Offering Jurisdiction. Any resale of our securities in Canada must be made under applicable securities laws that will vary depending
on the relevant jurisdiction, and which may require resales to be made under available statutory exemptions or under a discretionary
exemption granted by the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authority. Canadian resale restrictions in some circumstances
may apply to resales of interests made outside of Canada. Canadian purchasers are advised to seek legal advice prior to any resale
of our securities. We may never be a "reporting issuer", as such term is defined under applicable Canadian securities
legislation, in any province or territory of Canada in which our securities will be offered and there currently is no public market
for any of the securities in Canada, and one may never develop. Canadian investors are advised that we have no intention to file
a prospectus or similar document with any securities regulatory authority in Canada qualifying the resale of the securities to
the public in any province or territory in Canada.
149
Representations
of Purchasers
A Canadian purchaser
will be required to represent to us and the dealer from whom the purchase confirmation is received that:
·
the purchaser is entitled under applicable provincial securities laws to purchase our securities without the benefit of a prospectus qualified under those securities laws;
·
where required by law, that the purchaser is purchasing as principal and not as agent;
·
the purchaser has reviewed the text above under Resale Restrictions; and
·
the purchaser acknowledges and consents to the provision of specified information concerning its purchase of our securities to the regulatory authority that by law is entitled to collect the information.
Rights of Action
 — Ontario Purchasers Only
Under Ontario securities
legislation, certain purchasers who purchase a security offered by this prospectus during the period of distribution will have
a statutory right of action for damages, or while still the owner of our securities, for rescission against us in the event that
this prospectus contains a misrepresentation without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation. The right
of action for damages is exercisable not later than the earlier of 180 days from the date the purchaser first had knowledge of
the facts giving rise to the cause of action and three years from the date on which payment is made for our securities. The right
of action for rescission is exercisable not later than 180 days from the date on which payment is made for our securities. If a
purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against
us. In no case will the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price at which our securities were offered to the purchaser
and if the purchaser is shown to have purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation, we will have no liability.
In the case of an action for damages, we will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that are proven to not represent
the depreciation in value of our securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon. These rights are in addition to,
and without derogation from, any other rights or remedies available at law to an Ontario purchaser. The foregoing is a summary
of the rights available to an Ontario purchaser. Ontario purchasers should refer to the complete text of the relevant statutory
provisions.
Enforcement of
Legal Rights
All of our directors
and officers as well as the experts named herein are located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for Canadian
purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon us or those persons. All of our assets and the assets of those persons
are located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against us or those persons in Canada
or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against us or those persons outside of Canada.
Collection of
Personal Information
If a Canadian purchaser
is resident in or otherwise subject to the securities laws of the Province of Ontario, the Purchaser authorizes the indirect collection
of personal information pertaining to the Canadian purchaser by the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") and each
Canadian purchaser will be required to acknowledge and agree that the Canadian purchaser has been notified by us (i) of the
delivery to the OSC of personal information pertaining to the Canadian purchaser, including, without limitation, the full name,
residential address and telephone number of the Canadian purchaser, the number and type of securities purchased and the total purchase
price paid in respect of the securities, (ii) that this information is being collected indirectly by the OSC under the authority
granted to it in securities legislation, (iii) that this information is being collected for the purposes of the administration
and enforcement of the securities legislation of Ontario, and (iv) that the title, business address and business telephone
number of the public official in Ontario who can answer questions about the OSC's indirect collection of the information
is the Administrative Assistant to the Director of Corporate Finance, the Ontario Securities Commission, Suite 1903, Box 5520,
Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 3S8, Telephone: (416) 593-8086, Facsimile: (416) 593-8252.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of
Growth Capital Acquisition Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Growth Capital
Acquisition Corp. (formerly known as PinstripesNYS, Inc.) (the "Company") as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March
31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the each of the two years in the period March 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements,
the Company's business plan is dependent on the completion of a financing and its cash and working capital are not sufficient
to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 and Note 3. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the "PCAOB")
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures
to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
OPERATIONS
Organization and General
Growth Capital
Acquisition Corp. (the "Company"), a blank check company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware on January 4, 2010 under the name PinstripesNYS, Inc., and changed its name to its current name on
February 14, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business
Combination").
Although
the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating a Business Combination, it intends
to focus on industries that complement the Company's management team's background, and to capitalize on the ability
of the Company's management team to identify and acquire a business or businesses consistent with the experience of the
Company's management team and affiliates of Maxim
Group LLC ("Maxim"), the underwriter. The Company is
an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage
and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2020,
the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from January 4, 2010 (inception) through June 30, 2020 relates to the
Company's formation, its prior unconsummated initial public offering, and its proposed initial public offering (the "Proposed
Offering") described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial
Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and
cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Proposed Offering. The Company has selected March 31 as its fiscal year
end.
Sponsor and Proposed Financing
The Company's
sponsor is Growth Capital Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), an affiliate of Maxim. The Company's ability to commence
operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the Proposed Offering of 15,000,000 units (each, a
"Unit" and collectively, the "Units") at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit (or 17,250,000 Units if the
underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit will consist of one share
of Class A common stock and one-half warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common
stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the
Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering and will expire five years after the completion of
the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to
purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. The Sponsor, Nautilus Carriers LLC and HB Strategies
LLC have committed to purchase 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment option
is exercised in full) (each, a "Private Placement Unit" and collectively, the "Private Placement Units")
for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full)
in a private placement (the "Private Placement") to the Sponsor that will close simultaneously with the Proposed Offering.
The Company's
ability to commence operations and finance its initial Business Combination is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources
through the proposed $150,000,000 ($172,500,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment is exercised in full) initial public
offering of Units (as defined below) (Note 3). Upon the closing of the Proposed Offering and the Private Placement, $150,000,000
($172,500,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full — Note 3) will be held in a trust
account (the "Trust Account") (discussed below).
The Trust Account
The proceeds to be
held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money
market funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and compliant with Rule 2a-7 thereof that maintain
a stable net asset value of $1.00. Unless and until the Company completes the initial Business Combination, it may pay its expenses
only from the net proceeds of the Proposed Offering held outside the Trust Account, which is expected to be approximately $875,000
after the payment of approximately $780,000 in expenses relating to the Proposed Offering, and any loans or additional investments
from the initial stockholders, members of the Company's management team or any of their respective affiliates or other third
parties.
F-
7
Except with respect
to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the proceeds from
the Proposed Offering may not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the initial
Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to
amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company's
obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the
closing of the Proposed Offering; or (iii) the redemption of all of the Company's public shares if the Company is unable
to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering (at which such time up
to $100,000 of interest shall be available to the Company to pay liquidation or dissolution expenses), subject to applicable law.
The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company's creditors, if any, which
could have priority over the claims of the Company's public stockholders.
Initial Business Combination
The Company's
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Proposed Offering, although
substantially all of the net proceeds of the Proposed Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward
consummating an initial Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more businesses or assets
with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred
underwriting discount). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an initial Business Combination.
The Company, after
signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, will provide its public stockholders' with the opportunity
to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, either (i) in connection
with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. However, in no event
will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets, after payment of deferred underwriting
commissions, to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and
the related initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial Business Combination.
If the Company holds
a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an initial Business Combination, a public stockholder
will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest,
but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock will be recorded at their redemption amount and classified
as temporary equity upon the completion of the Proposed Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity."
The Company will have
24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering to complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the
initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter
redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account
including interest, but less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation or dissolution expenses), divided
by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights
as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining stockholders
and the Company's board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under
Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
F-
8
The Sponsor, the Company's
officers and directors and certain affiliates will enter into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will
agree to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares and Private
Placement Shares (as defined above) held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months
of the closing of the Proposed Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company's directors or officers acquires shares
of Class A common stock in or after the Proposed Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust
Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time
period.
In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial Business Combination, the Company's remaining stockholders are
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision
is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company's stockholders have no preemptive
or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the Company will
provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described herein.
Liquidity and Going Concern
At June 30, 2020, the
Company had cash of $2,043. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of
its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty through the Proposed Offering as discussed in Note 3. There is no
assurance that the Company's plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful or
successful within the required time period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements
of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
In the opinion of management,
the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the period presented. The interim results for
the three months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended March 31,
2021 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of
the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards
until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not
have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to
opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application
dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the
time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison
of the Company's financial statement with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging
growth company, and which has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential
differences in accounting standards used.
F-
9
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated events that have
occurred after the balance sheet up to the date of these financial statements were issued. Other than as described in these financial
statements, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment to or disclosure in the financial
statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company complies
with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Net loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common
stock subject to forfeiture. For the periods presented, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that
could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury
stock method. As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the periods presented
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which,
at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the
Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement,"
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company complies
with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts,
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be
sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, there were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that
could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be
subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations
may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance
with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company's management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
F-
10
The provision for income taxes was de minimis for the periods
presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not
believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
NOTE 3 — PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Proposed
Offering, the Company intends to offer for sale 15,000,000 Units (or 17,250,000 Units if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit.
Each Unit will consist
of one share of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with
each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A common stock (each, a "Warrant" and, collectively, the
"Warrants" and, with respect to the warrants underlying the Private Placement Units, the "Private Placement Warrants").
One Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
NOTE 4 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On
April 30, 2010, the Company sold 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the
Sponsor, at a purchase price of $25,000. On July 1, 2012, the Company issued 376,344 shares of the Company's common
stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. On February 24, 2020, the third party forfeited 257,649 shares
of the Company's common stock.
On
February 24, 2020, the Company effectuated a recapitalization. Each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock
became 0.8425 shares of Class B common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 Founder Shares outstanding and held by
the Sponsor (up to 562,500 of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriter's over-allotment option is not exercised
in full). All share and per-share amounts for periods and dates prior to December 2019 have been retroactively restated to reflect
this split.
On
August 14, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company for no consideration,
and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B Common Stock for a purchase price
of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086).
Holders
of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A
common stock, subject to adjustment, at any time. The initial stockholders have agreed to forfeit up to 562,500 Founder Shares
to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the
extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0%
of the Company's issued and outstanding shares after the Proposed Offering (not including the placement shares). If the Company
increases or decreases the size of the offering, the Company will effect a stock dividend or share contribution back to capital,
as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Offering in such amount as to maintain the Founder Share ownership
of the Company's stockholders prior to the Proposed Offering at 20.0% of the Company's issued and outstanding common
stock upon the consummation of the Proposed Offering (not including the placement shares).
F-
11
The Company's
initial stockholders, officers and directors have agreed, not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares held by them until
the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the last sale price
of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after
the initial Business Combination, or (iii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which
the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of
the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative Fees
Commencing on the date
of the prospectus, the Company will agree to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $5,750 per month for office space, utilities
and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company's liquidation,
the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
Note Payable — Related Party
The Company issued
promissory notes to certain initial stockholders of the Company, which allow the Company to borrow up to $300,000 without interest
to be used for a portion of the expenses of this Proposed Offering. All amounts due under the promissory note will be payable on
the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering of its
securities. As of June 30, 2020, there are no amounts outstanding under the promissory note.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company will engage
Maxim Group LLC, an affiliate of its Sponsor, as advisors in connection with its initial Business Combination to assist it in arranging
meetings with its stockholders to discuss a potential business combination and the target business' attributes, introduce
it to potential investors that may be interested in purchasing its securities, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for
its initial Business Combination and assist it with the preparation of press releases and public filings in connection with the
initial Business Combination. The Company will pay Maxim Group LLC for such services upon the consummation of the initial Business
Combination a cash fee in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders'
fees which might become payable) ($5,250,000 or up to $6,037,500 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised
in full). Pursuant to the terms of the business combination marketing agreement, no fee will be due if the Company does not complete
an initial Business Combination.
F-

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS
Registration Rights
The holders of
Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, private placement shares, private placement warrants and units that may be issued upon
conversion of working capital loans, if any, will have registration rights to require the Company to register the resale of any
of its securities held by them (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A
common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed on or before the effective date of the Proposed Offering.
These holders will also be entitled to certain piggyback registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides
that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination
of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements. The holder of Forward Purchase Units has substantially similar registration
rights. No cash penalties will be payable under the registration rights agreement. In
addition, if Hudson Bay acquires units in the Proposed Offering and becomes an affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act)
of the Company following the Proposed Offering, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement following the
Proposed Offering to register the resale of the units (including the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included in
the units) purchased by Hudson Bay (or its nominee) in the Proposed Offering.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company has also
granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase on a pro rata basis up to 2,250,000 additional Units at the initial public
offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The option may be exercised only to cover any over-allotments of
Units.
NOTE 6 — STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
Common Stock
The authorized common
stock of the Company includes up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common
stock. The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of our Class A common stock at the time
of an initial Business Combination or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment
as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or
deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in this prospectus and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination,
including pursuant to a specified future issuance, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares
of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common
stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, including a specified future issuance)
so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will
equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding
upon the completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units)
plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial
Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business
Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to
us). At June 30, 2020, no shares of the Class A common stock were outstanding. If the Company enters into an initial
Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number
of shares of Class A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company's stockholders
vote on the initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the initial Business
Combination. Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. On February 24,
2020, the Company effectuated a recapitalization. Each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock became 0.8425 shares
of Class B common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 Founder Shares outstanding  (up to
562,500 of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriter's over-allotment option is not exercised in full). On August 14, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company, and each of Nautilus
and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B Common Stock.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized
to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined
from time to time by the Company's board of directors. At June 30, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock
issued or outstanding.
Warrants
Warrants may only be
exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants
will trade. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the initial Business
Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a
cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company will agree that as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company
will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the
shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective
within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to
those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If
the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act by the 60
th
business
day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants
on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding
the above, if the Company's Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities
Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis"
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects, the Company will not be
required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify
the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
The Warrants will expire
five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
F-
13
The Private Placement
Warrants are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Proposed Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants
and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable,
assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such
purchasers' permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial shareholders or
their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on
the same basis as the Warrants.
The Company may call
the Warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
·
in whole and not in part;
·
at a price of  $0.01 per warrant;
·
upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption (the "30-day redemption
period"); and
·
if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00
per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days
within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption
to the warrantholders.
If the Company calls
the Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Warrants to do so
on a "cashless basis," as described in the warrant agreement.

Units
This prospectus has been prepared for and
will be used by Maxim Group LLC, or Maxim, in connection with offers and sales of our units in certain market making transactions
effected from time to time for 30 days following the date of this prospectus. These transactions may occur in the open market
or may be privately negotiated at prevailing market prices at the time of sales, at prices related thereto or at negotiated prices.
We will not receive any proceeds of such transactions. Maxim has no obligation to make a market in our units, and may discontinue
such activities at any time without notice, at its sole discretion. All such transactions with respect to our securities that are
made pursuant to a prospectus after the date of this prospectus are being made solely pursuant to this prospectus, as it may be
supplemented from time to time.
We have applied to list our units on the
Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol "GCACU". We expect that our units will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital
Market on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. We cannot guarantee that our securities will be approved for listing on
Nasdaq. We expect the Class A common stock and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the 52
nd
day following the date of this prospectus unless Maxim informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject
to our satisfaction of certain conditions. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, we expect that the
Class A common stock and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols "GCAC" and "GCACW," respectively.
We are an "emerging growth company"
under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our

The Offering
In deciding whether to invest in our
securities, you should take into account not only the backgrounds of the members of our management team, but also the special risks
we face as a blank check company and the fact that this offering is not being conducted in compliance with Rule 419 promulgated
under the Securities Act. You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings.
You should carefully consider these and the other risks set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors."
Unless otherwise stated in this prospectus, or the context otherwise requires, references to "this offering" refer

Trading commencement and separation of Class A common stock and warrants
The units will begin trading on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. We expect the Class A common stock and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the 52
nd
day following the date of this prospectus unless Maxim informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to our having filed the Current Report on Form 8-K described below and having issued a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. Once the shares of Class A common stock and warrants commence separate trading, holders will have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units into the component securities. Holders will need to have their brokers contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units into shares of Class A common stock and warrants. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase a multiple of two units, the number of warrants issuable to you upon separation of the units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of warrants.
Separate trading of the Class A common stock and warrants is prohibited until we have filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
In no event will the Class A common stock and warrants be traded separately until we have filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC containing an audited balance sheet reflecting our receipt of the gross proceeds at the closing of our initial public offering. We will file the Current Report on Form 8-K promptly after the closing of our initial public offering, which closing is anticipated to take place three business days from the date of this prospectus. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised following the initial filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, a second or amended Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
Exercisability
Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of our Class A common stock, and only whole warrants are exercisable.
We structured each unit to contain one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A common stock, as compared to units issued by some other similar blank check companies which contain whole warrants exercisable for one whole share, in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of an initial business combination as compared to units that each contain a warrant to purchase one whole share, thus making us, we believe, a more attractive initial business combination partner for target businesses.
Exercise price
$11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein.
Exercise period
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of:
·
30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, or
·
12 months from the closing of our initial public offering;
A-
3
provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement).
We are not registering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60
th
business day after the closing of our initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation; provided, however, that the private placement warrants issued to our sponsor will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to us and not placed in the trust account.
Redemption of warrants
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):
·
in whole and not in part;
·
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
·
upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption, which we refer to as the 30-day redemption period; and
·
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.
A-
4
We will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in our initial public offering.
If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a "cashless basis." In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a "cashless basis," our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" shall mean the volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Securities — Redeemable Warrants — Public Stockholders' Warrants" for additional information.
None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees.
Founder shares
In April 2010, an affiliate of our sponsor purchased an aggregate
        of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344 shares of our common stock
        to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited 257,649 shares of our common
        stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify as a "reorganization"
        under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares, which represented all of the
        common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and we created a new Class A common
        stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares.
        On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company for no consideration,
        and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B Common Stock for a purchase price
        of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086).
The number of founder shares issued and outstanding was determined
        based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after our initial public offering
        (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units). As such, our initial stockholders
        will collectively own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after our initial public offering (assuming they do not purchase
        any units in our initial public offering and not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement
        units). Neither our sponsor nor any of our officers or directors have expressed an intention to purchase any units in our initial
        public offering. Up to 562,500 founder shares will be subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies on a pro
        rata basis depending on the extent to which the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised so that our initial stockholders
        will maintain ownership of 20% of our common stock after our initial public offering (not including the shares of Class A
        common stock underlying the private placement units). We will effect a stock dividend or share contribution prior to our initial
        public offering should the size of the offering change, in order to maintain such ownership percentage.

The founder shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units being sold in our initial public offering, except that:
·
the
        founder shares are shares of Class B common stock that automatically convert into shares of our Class A common stock
        at the time of our initial business combination, or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis,
        subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights, as described herein;
·
the
        founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below;
·
our
        sponsor, officers, directors, and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have
        agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares , private placement shares and public shares
        in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to
        their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment
        to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem
        100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months
        from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders'
        rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust
        account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from
        the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the
        prescribed time frame. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public shares.
·
pursuant
        to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers, directors and Nautilus have agreed to vote any founder shares, private
        placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering (including in open
        market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote
        its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our initial business combination. If we submit our initial
        business combination to our public stockholders for a vote, we will complete our initial business combination only if a
        majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. As a result,
        in addition to our initial stockholders' founder shares, we would need only 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the 15,000,000
        public shares sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination (assuming all outstanding shares
        are voted; or 588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted and assuming
our
        sponsor, officers, directors and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after this offering
) in order to
        have our initial business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised); and
·
the
        founder shares are entitled to registration rights.

Transfer restrictions on founder shares
Our initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder
    shares,  until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of our initial business
    combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our
    Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
    recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after
    our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or
    other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock
    for cash, securities or other property (except as described herein under the section of this prospectus entitled
    "Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units"). Any
    permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our initial stockholders with respect
    to any founder shares. We refer to such transfer restrictions throughout this prospectus as the lock-up.
Founder shares conversion and anti-dilution rights
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of our Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in this prospectus and related to the closing of the initial business combination, including pursuant to a specified future issuance, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, including a specified future issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of our initial public offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination or any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to our initial stockholders or their affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us). The term "equity-linked securities" refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock issued in a financing transaction in connection with our initial business combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be "deemed issued" for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities.

Voting Rights
Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote per share.
Private placement units and underlying securities
Our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement
units if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or
$5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), each exercisable to purchase one share of our
Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing
of this offering. Each private placement warrant is identical to the warrants sold in this offering except that so long as they
are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may not
(including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be
transferred, assigned or sold by our initial stockholders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination,
(iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (iv) will be entitled to registration rights and (v) for
so long as they are held by our sponsor, will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). A portion of the purchase
price of the private placement units will be added to the proceeds from this offering to be held in the trust account such that
at the time of closing, $10.00 per unit sold in this offering will be held in the trust account. If we do not complete our initial
business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units
held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable
law) and the private placement units will expire worthless.
Transfer restrictions on private placement units and underlying securities
The private placement warrants and the shares of Class A
        common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30
        days after the completion of our initial business combination (except as described under the section of this prospectus entitled
        "Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units").
Cashless exercise of private placement warrants
If holders of private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay
    the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient
    obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied
    by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the
    fair market value. The "fair market value" shall mean the average volume weighted average last reported sale price
    of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice
    of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on
    a cashless basis so long as they are held by our initial stockholders or their permitted transferees is because it is not
    known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated
    with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies
    in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods
    of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is
    in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A
    common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted
    from doing so. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

Proceeds to be held in trust account
Nasdaq rules provide that at least 90% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering, the sale of the private placement units must be deposited in a trust account. Of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units, $150,000,000, or $10.00 per unit ($172,500,000, or $10.00 per unit, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be placed into a trust account in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax
    obligations, the proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units  will not
    be released from the trust account until the earliest of (a) the completion of our initial business combination, (b) the
    redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated
    certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares
    if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or
    (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-business combination activity,
    and (c) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months
    from the closing of our initial public offering, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could
    become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders.
Anticipated expenses and funding sources
Except as described above with respect to the payment of taxes from interest, unless and until we complete
    our initial business combination, no proceeds held in the trust account will be available for our use. The proceeds held in
    the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market
    funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government
    treasury obligations. We will disclose in each quarterly and annual report filed with the SEC prior to our initial business
    combination whether the proceeds deposited in the trust account are invested in U.S. government treasury obligations or money
    market funds or a combination thereof. Based upon current interest rates, we expect the trust account to generate approximately
    $0.22 million of interest annually assuming an interest rate of 0.16% per year; however, we can provide no assurances regarding
    this amount. Unless and until we complete our initial business combination, we may pay our expenses only from:
·
the
        net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units not held in the trust account,
        which will be approximately $875,000 in working capital after the payment of approximately $780,000 in expenses relating
        to our initial public offering; and
·
any
        loans or additional investments from our initial stockholders, members of our management team or their affiliates or other
        third parties, although they are under no obligation to advance additional funds or invest in us, and provided that any
        such loans will not have any claim on the proceeds held in the trust account unless such proceeds are released to us upon
        completion of an initial business combination.

Conditions to completing our initial business combination
So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors will make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of a target's assets or prospects. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds privately, including pursuant to any specified future issuance, or through loans in connection with our initial business combination.
We anticipate structuring our initial business combination either (i) in such a way so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses, or (ii) in such a way so that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders, or for other reasons, including an Affiliated Joint Acquisition as described above. However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq's 80% of net assets test. If the initial business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking stockholder approval, as applicable.

Permitted purchases of public shares and public warrants by our affiliates
If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination. See "Proposed Business — Permitted purchases of our securities" for a description of how our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates will select which stockholders to purchase securities from in any private transaction.
The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
Redemption rights for public stockholders upon completion of our initial business combination
We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public
    shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
    amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination,
    including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided
    by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the trust account
    is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of our initial
    business combination with respect to our warrants. Our sponsor, officers, directors and Nautilus have entered into a letter
    agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares
    or private placement shares held by them and any public shares they may acquire during or after our initial public offering
    in connection with the completion of our initial business combination or otherwise. HB Strategies has agreed to the foregoing
    terms except that it will not waive redemption rights with respect to its public shares.
A-
11
We may require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name," to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents or proxy materials mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company's DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder's option. The tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements.
Manner of conducting redemptions
We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek stockholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirements. Under Nasdaq rules, asset acquisitions and stock purchases would not typically require stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding common stock or seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would require stockholder approval. We may conduct redemptions without a stockholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC unless stockholder approval is required by law or stock exchange listing requirements or we choose to seek stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with such rules.
If a stockholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation:
·
conduct
        the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and
·
file
        tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial
        and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the
        Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
A-
12
Such provisions may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to vote thereon.
Whether or not we maintain our registration under the Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq, we will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares by one of the two methods listed above. Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public stockholders not tendering more than a specified number of public shares, which number will be based on the requirement that we may not redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination and after payment of underwriters' fees and commissions (so that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. If public stockholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirements, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, we will:
·
conduct
        the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation
        of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and
·
file
        proxy materials with the SEC.
If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding
    shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. A quorum for such meeting will consist
    of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company representing a majority of
    the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such meeting. Our initial
    stockholders will count towards this quorum and, pursuant to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers, directors, and
    certain affiliates have agreed to vote their founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares purchased during
    or after our initial public offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial
    business combination. HB Strategies has agreed to vote its founder shares and private placement shares in favor of our
    initial business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock
    voted, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. As a
    result, in addition to our initial stockholders' founder shares, we would need only 5,392,251, or 35.9%, of the
    15,000,000 public shares sold in this offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination (assuming all
    outstanding shares are voted; or 588,376, or 3.92%, assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are
    voted and assuming our sponsor, officers, directors and their affiliates do not purchase any units in or after this offering)
    in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised). We intend
    to give approximately 30 days (but not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days) prior written notice of any such meeting, if
    required, at which a vote shall be taken to approve our initial business combination. These quorum and voting thresholds, and
    the voting agreements of our initial stockholders, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business
    combination. Each public stockholder may elect to redeem its public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against
    the proposed transaction.
A-
13
We may require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name," to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming public stockholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial business combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates delivered, or shares tendered electronically, by public stockholders who elected to redeem their shares.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination and after payment of underwriters' fees and commissions (so that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. For example, the proposed initial business combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
Limitation on redemption rights of stockholders holding more than 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering if we hold stockholder vote
Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination
    and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules,
    our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate
    of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined
    under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate
    of 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering, without our prior consent. We believe the restriction described
    above will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use
    their ability to redeem their shares as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium
    to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding more than
    an aggregate of 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights against
    an initial business combination if such holder's shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the
    then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders' ability to redeem to no more
    than 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders
    to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with
    an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
    amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including
    all shares held by those stockholders that hold more than 25% of the shares sold in our initial public offering) for or against
    our initial business combination.
A-
14
Redemption rights in connection with proposed amendments to our certificate of incorporation
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any of its provisions related to
    pre-business combination activity (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of our initial public offering and the private
    placement of warrants into the trust account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide
    redemption rights to public stockholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock
    entitled to vote thereon, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our trust
    account may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to vote thereon. In all other instances,
    our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may be amended by holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock
    entitled to vote thereon, subject to applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, or applicable
    stock exchange rules. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we may not issue additional securities
    that can vote with common stockholders on matters related to our pre-initial business combination activity, on any amendment
    to certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or on our initial business combination or that
    would entitle holders thereof to receive funds from the trust account. Our initial stockholders, who will collectively beneficially
    own approximately 20% of our common stock upon the closing of our initial public offering (assuming they do not purchase any
    units in our initial public offering and not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement
    units), will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and/or trust agreement
    and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. Our sponsor, officers, directors and certain affiliates have
    agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate
    of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do
    not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (ii) with
    respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-business combination activity, unless we provide
    our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock upon approval of any such
    amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including
    interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Our sponsor,
    officers, directors and Nautilus have entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which they have agreed to waive
    their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares held by them in
    connection with the completion of our initial business combination.
A-
15
Release of funds in trust account on closing of our initial business combination
On the completion of our initial business combination, the funds held in the trust account will be used to pay amounts due to any public stockholders who exercise their redemption rights as described above under "Redemption rights for public stockholders upon completion of our initial business combination." We will use the remaining funds to pay all or a portion of the consideration payable to the target or owners of the target of our initial business combination and to pay other expenses associated with our initial business combination, including the cash fee payable to Maxim pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement described under "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Business Combination Marketing Agreement," which fee we refer to throughout this prospectus as the marketing fee. If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our Class A common stock, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of post-transaction businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.
Redemption of public shares and distribution and liquidation if no initial business combination
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will have only 24 months from the closing of our
    initial public offering to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination
    within such 24-month period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly
    as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable
    in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in
    the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
    divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders'
    rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law,
    and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders
    and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide
    for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions
    with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the
    24-month time period.
our sponsor, officers, directors and certain affiliates have entered into a letter agreement with us,
    pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder
    shares or private placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from
    the closing of our initial public offering. However, if our initial stockholders acquire public shares in or after our initial
    public offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares
    if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the allotted 24-month time period.

16
Limited payments to insiders
There will be no finder's fees, reimbursement, consulting fee, non-cash payments, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation paid by us to our sponsor, officers or directors, or any affiliate of our sponsor or officers prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is) other than the following payments, none of which will be made from the proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
·
Repayment
        of up to an aggregate of $300,000 in loans made to us by certain initial stockholders of ours, including our sponsor,
        an affiliate of Maxim, Nautilus and HB Strategies, which such holders have committed to cover offering-related and organizational
        expenses;
·
Reimbursement
        for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination;
·
Repayment
        of loans which may be made by our initial stockholders, affiliates of such holders or certain of our officers and directors
        to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the terms of which have not
        been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (only
        if such loans are made to us more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus
        forms a part) may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The warrants contained
        in such units would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and
        exercise period;
·
Payment
        to Maxim of its underwriting discount, marketing fee, fees for any financial advisory, placement agency or other similar investment
        banking services Maxim may provide to our company in the future, and reimbursement of Maxim for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred
        by it in connection with the performance of such services; and
●      Payment to our sponsor an affiliate
    of Maxim, of $5,750 per month for up to 24 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.
Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.
Audit Committee
We will establish and maintain an audit committee, which will initially be composed of three independent
    directors, to, among other things, monitor compliance with the terms described above and the other terms relating to this
    offering. If any noncompliance is identified, then the audit committee will be charged with the responsibility to immediately
    take all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise to cause compliance with the terms of this offering.
    For more information, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Management — Committees of the Board of Directors
    — Audit Committee."

Affiliation
Our sponsor, an affiliate of Maxim, Nautilus, an affiliate of
our management and HB Strategies, an affiliate of Hudson Bay, currently own 4,212,500 shares of our Class B common stock (97.68%
of our outstanding shares of common stock) and have also committed to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 private
placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000
(or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full).
Indemnity
Each of our sponsor and Nautilus has agreed that it will be
severally liable to us, on a pro rata basis based on the number of their founder shares, if and to the extent any claims by a third
party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written
letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust
account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust
account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of
the trust assets, in each case less interest released to pay taxes, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by
a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account
(whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial
public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor
or Nautilus to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether they have sufficient funds
to satisfy such indemnity obligations and believe that only assets of our sponsor and Nautilus are securities of our company.
Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor or Nautilus
would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including,
without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus is delivered in connection with the offer and
sale of our units by Maxim in certain market making transactions. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these transactions.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This prospectus has been prepared for use by Maxim in connection
with offers and sales of our units in certain market making transactions effected from time to time for 30 days following the date
of this prospectus. Maxim may act as a principal in these transactions. These sales will be made at prevailing market prices at
the time of sale, at prices related thereto or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any of the proceeds of these transactions.
Our sponsor, an affiliate of Maxim, owns 1,404,166 shares of
our Class B common stock (32.56% of our outstanding shares of common stock). Our sponsor has also agreed to loan us up to
$100,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of our initial public offering. In addition, our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies
have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full)for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full). Our sponsor has committed to purchase one third of such private placement units.
We agreed to file a "market making" prospectus in
order to allow Maxim to engage in market making activities for our units for 30 days following the date of this prospectus. Maxim
acted as a lead underwriter in our recently completed initial public offering of securities. Purchases and sales in the open market
by Maxim may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions, which may include purchases pursuant to the over-allotment
option and stabilizing purchases, in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Purchases to cover short positions and
stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own account, may have the effect of preventing
or retarding a decline in the market price of the units. They may also cause the price of the units to be higher than the price
that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions
in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, it may discontinue them at
any time.
A-
18
We have been advised by Maxim that, following the pricing of
this offering, it currently intends to engage in market making transactions for our units as permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
However, Maxim is not obligated to do so and Maxim may discontinue its market making activities at any time without notice. In
addition, such market making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Accordingly,
no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for our units, that you will be able to sell any of our units
held by you at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell will be favorable. See "Risk Factors — There
is currently no market for our securities and a market for our securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity
and price of our securities."
We have agreed to indemnify Maxim and other underwriters in
our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments
Maxim may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
Other than the business combination marketing agreement described
herein, we are not under any contractual obligation to engage Maxim to provide any services for us after this offering, and have
no present intent to do so. However, Maxim may introduce us to potential target businesses or assist us in raising additional capital
in the future. If Maxim provides services to us in the future, we may pay Maxim fair and reasonable fees that would be determined
at that time in an arm's length negotiation; provided that no agreement will be entered into with Maxim and no fees for such
services will be paid to Maxim prior to the date that is 90 days from the date of this prospectus, unless FINRA determines that
such payment would not be deemed underwriters' compensation in connection with our initial public offering and we may pay
the underwriters of our initial public offering or any entity with which it is affiliated a finder's fee or other compensation
for services rendered to us in connection with the completion of an initial business combination.
Maxim and its affiliates may in the future engage in, investment
banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates, for which it may in the future
receive, customary fees and commissions for any such transactions.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities,
Maxim and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related
derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers.
Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Maxim and its affiliates
may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or
financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and
instruments.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
We have engaged Maxim as an advisor in connection with our business
combination, pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement described under "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Business
Combination Marketing Agreement." We will pay Maxim a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of our initial business
combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of this offering, including any proceeds from the
full or partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. As a result, Maxim will not be entitled to such fee
unless we consummate our initial business combination

Item 14.   Indemnification
of Directors and officers.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will provide that all of our directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to be indemnified by us
to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"). Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.
Section 145.   Indemnification
of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.
(a) A corporation shall have power
to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith
and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. The termination
of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power
to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view
of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
186
(c) To the extent that a present or
former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections
(a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such
determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by
a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by
a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there
are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled
to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by
former officers and directors or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation
deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate
of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act
or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification
or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes
such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.
(g) A corporation shall have power
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any
such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person against such liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this section,
references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would
have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
187
(i) For purposes of this section,
references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include
any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request
of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants
or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of
the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue
as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person.
(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby
vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under
this section or under any by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery
may summarily determine a corporation's obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys' fees).
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of
the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, will provide that no director shall be personally liable to us
or any of our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent
such limitation on or exemption from liability is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of this provision of our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation is to eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative
suits on our behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, including
breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior, except, as restricted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.
However, this provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such
as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.
If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then, in accordance with our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, the liability of our directors to us or our stockholders will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
limiting or eliminating the liability of directors, whether by our stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other
provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment
or change in law permits us to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors on a retroactive basis.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will also provide that we will, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify our current
and former officers and directors, as well as those persons who, while directors or officers of our corporation, are or were serving
as directors, officers, employees or agents of another entity, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney's fees, judgments, fines,
ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by any such person in connection
with any such proceeding.
188
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person
eligible for indemnification pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will be indemnified by us in connection
with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, except for proceedings
to enforce rights to indemnification.
The right to indemnification which will
be conferred by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is a contract right that includes the right to be paid by
us the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding referenced above in advance of its final disposition,
provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by our officer or director (solely in the capacity
as an officer or director of our corporation) will be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such
officer or director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified
for such expenses under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or otherwise.
The rights to indemnification and advancement
of expenses will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which any person covered by our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation may have or hereafter acquire under law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, an agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Any repeal or amendment of provisions of
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation affecting indemnification rights, whether by our stockholders or by changes
in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective
only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive
basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment
or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption
of such inconsistent provision. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also permit us, to the extent and in
the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other that those specifically covered
by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Our bylaws, which we intend to adopt immediately
prior to the closing of this offering, include the provisions relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent
with those which will be set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In addition, our bylaws provide for
a right of indemnity to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by
us within a specified period of time. Our bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect
us and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of our corporation or another entity, trust or other enterprise against any
expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or
loss under the DGCL.
Any repeal or amendment of provisions of
our bylaws affecting indemnification rights, whether by our board of directors, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or
the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except
to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and
will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission
occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
We may enter into indemnification agreements
with each of our officers and directors a form of which is to be filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement. These agreements
will require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may
arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which
they could be indemnified.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement
to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, we have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and the underwriters
have agreed to indemnify us against certain civil liabilities that may be incurred in connection with this offering, including
certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 15.   Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
In April 2010, an affiliate of our sponsor
purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In July 2012, we issued 376,344
shares of our common stock to a third party as consideration for services performed. In February 2020, the third party forfeited
257,649 shares of our common stock and we effectuated a recapitalization of our common stock into two classes (intended to qualify
as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). All founder shares,
which represented all of the common stock issued and outstanding as of that date, were re-designated as Class B common stock and
we created a new Class A common stock. In February 2020, we also effected a 0.8425-for-1 reverse stock split resulting in an aggregate
of 4,312,500 founder shares (up to 562,500 of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters' over-allotment option
is not exercised in full). On August 14, 2020, our sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 2,833,333 shares of Class B Common Stock to
the Company for no consideration, and each of Nautilus and HB Strategies purchased from the Company 1,379,167 shares of Class B
Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,043 (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,086). Of the total 4,312,500 Class B shares held
by our initial stockholders, an aggregate of up to 562,500 are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor, Nautilus and HB Strategies,
on a pro rata basis, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The number of founder shares issued
and outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares of
common stock upon completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement
units). Such securities were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Our sponsor is an accredited investor for purposes of Rule 501 of Regulation
D.
In addition, our initial stockholders have
agreed to purchase an aggregate of 465,500 units (or 515,000 private placement units if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,655,000 (or $5,150,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full) in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of this offering. This issuance
will be made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
No underwriting discounts or commissions
were paid with respect to such sales.

Item 17.   Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations
and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
that:
(1) For purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration
statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) For the purpose of determining
liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included
in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in
a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to
a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date
of first use.
(4) For the purpose of determining
liability of a registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of an undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
191
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or
prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating
to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free
writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that
is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in
which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required
by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)  To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by
means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining
liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on
Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)  Each prospectus required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B
relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information
required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale
of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer
and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with
a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement
or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;
or
192
(ii) If the registrant is subject
to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering,
other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall
be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in
a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that
was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such date of first use.
(5)  That, for the purpose of determining
liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)  Any preliminary prospectus or
prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)  Any free writing prospectus
relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)  The portion of any other free
writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)  Any other communication that
is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
