New York City time) on the Termination Date. For the purposes of clarity, any transmission of such Termination Letter electronically, whether by facsimile, electronic mail (e-mail), PDF or otherwise, shall constitute an original of such Termination Letter hereunder.”


 


2.2           Section 1(j).  Section 1(j) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety so that it now reads in full as follows:


 


“(j)           At a meeting of its shareholders held on April 21, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate its initial business combination from April 24, 2014 to August 24, 2014 (the “Extension Amendment”). The Trustee shall, upon and in accordance with the written instruction of the Company, disburse to the Public Shareholders who (i) elected to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and redeem the Public Shares through an issuer tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) on Schedule TO in accordance with the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act and (ii) delivered the Public Shares to the depositary agent prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer, as directed by the Company in the Tender Offer documents, the amount indicated by the Company as required to pay the shareholders that have redeemed their Public Shares, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $12,582,968.06.”
