Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On March 13, 2014, Boulevard Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the sale of an additional 1,050,000 units (the “Additional Units”) pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated February 12, 2014, between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto, from the exercise in part by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase additional units of the Company.  Each Additional Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one-half of one warrant (“Warrant”).  Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.  The Additional Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Additional Unit, generating net proceeds to the Company of $10,290,000.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the Additional Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 210,000 warrants (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock for a price of $11.50 per share, to Boulevard Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), at a price of $1.00 per Additional Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $210,000.  The Additional Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants included in the Additional Units, except that the Additional Private Placement Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, and (ii) may not be transferred, assigned or sold, except to certain permitted transferees, until 30 days after the Company completes its initial business combination.

 

The Company previously announced the consummation of its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 21,000,000 units (the “Units”) on February 19, 2014, which were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, and the private sale by the Company of an aggregate of 5,950,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total net proceeds of $210,000,000, excluding amounts not held in the trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”).

 

Approximately $10,500,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units and the Additional Private Placement Warrants were placed in the Trust Account.  Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay income taxes and franchise taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or the redemption of 100% of the Common Stock issued by the Company in the Offering if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination within 21 months from the closing of the Offering, or 24 months from the closing of the Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 21 months from the closing of the Offering.
