Item 8.01 Other Events

 

As previously disclosed, Harmony Merger Corp. (the “Company”) has scheduled an annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on March 27, 2017, at the offices of Graubard Miller, the Company’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10174. At the annual meeting, the Company’s stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon, among other things, a proposal to amend (the “Extension Amendment”) the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate its initial business combination (the “Extension”) from March 27, 2017 to July 27, 2017 (the “Extended Date”).

 

The Company’s stockholders prior to the Company’s initial public offering that participated in the simultaneous private placement of units (the “insiders”) and NextDecade, LLC (“NextDecade”), the liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) development company focused on LNG export projects and associated pipelines in the State of Texas that has executed a previously announced non-binding letter of intent with the Company for a proposed business combination, have agreed that if the Extension Amendment is approved, they or their affiliates will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) $0.0275 for each public share that is not converted in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Extension, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month), that is needed by the Company to complete an initial business combination from March 27, 2017 until the Extended Date. Accordingly, if the Company takes until the Extended Date to complete an initial business combination, which would represent four months through the Extended Date, the insiders and NextDecade would make aggregate Contributions of approximately $1,265,000 (assuming no public shares were converted). Each Contribution will be deposited in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering prior to the beginning of the extended period which such Contribution is for. Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment is approved and the Extension is completed and the Company takes the full time through the Extended Date to complete an initial business combination, the conversion amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.32 per share, in comparison to the current conversion amount of approximately $10.21 per share. The insiders and NextDecade will not make any Contribution unless the Extension Amendment is approved and the Extension is completed. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the insiders or their affiliates upon consummation of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination. The Company’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional months until the Extended Date and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the insiders’ and NextDecade’s obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, the Company would wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

 

The insiders have also agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $150,000 for the Company’s working capital requirements. The loans will be evidenced by promissory notes which will be unsecured, non-interest bearing and will be payable at the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination. Upon consummation of a business combination, the principal balance of the notes may be converted, at the holders’ option, to units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The terms of the units will be identical to the units issued by the Company in its initial public offering, except the warrants included in such units will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the insiders or their permitted transferees. If the insiders convert the entire principal balance of the convertible promissory notes, they would receive 15,000 units. If a business combination is not consummated, the notes will not be repaid by the Company and all amounts owed thereunder by the Company will be forgiven. The issuance of the notes to the insiders will be exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
