On March 30, 2012, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 200,000 Units which were sold subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

 

The 4,200,000 Units sold in the IPO, including the 200,000 Units sold subject to the over-allotment option, were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $42,000,000.
