The Private Warrants are currently exercisable for a total of 115,000 shares of Common Stock and the UPO Warrants are exercisable for a total of 345,000 shares of Common Stock, but each contains provisions preventing their exercise to the extent that such exercise would result in the holder (together with its affiliates) obtaining greater than 9.99% of the Common Stock. The amounts reported in rows 5, 7 and 9 herein exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants and the UPO Warrants, giving effect to these blocking provisions, because the number of Common Stock held by CCM and the number of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option are greater than 9.99% of the Common Stock.

Each Private Unit consists of one share of Common Stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and one right entitling the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock upon consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination. The units issuable upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option are identical to the Private Units.
