Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 1, 2013, Quartet Merger Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,400,000 of its units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and one right (“Right”) to automatically receive one-tenth of one share of Common Stock upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $84,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 542,500 Units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $5,425,000. Of the Private Placement Units, 500,500 were purchased by the initial stockholders of the Company and 42,000 were purchased by EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters of the IPO (“EBC”), and its designees. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO. However, the holders of the Private Placement Units have agreed (A) to vote their private shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such a business combination, (C) not to convert any private shares into the right to receive cash from thetrust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the Company’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that such private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. Additionally, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.

 

An audited balance sheet as of November 1, 2013 reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press releases issued by the Company announcing the pricing of the IPO and consummation of the IPO and Private Placement are included as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Also on November 1, 2013, EBC notified the Company that it exercised its over-allotment option to the full extent to purchase an additional 1,260,000 Units.

 

On November 5, 2013, the Company consummated the closing of the over-allotment option. The units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $12,600,000. In a private sale that took place simultaneously with the consummation of the exercise of the over-allotment option, certain of the initial stockholders of the Company and EBC purchased an additional 65,625 units at $10.00 per unit. Of the gross proceeds of the units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option and the additional 65,625 private units, $12,846,750 was placed in trust, for a total of $98,491,750 placed in trust, or approximately $10.20 per share sold in the IPO.
