“(i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter (“Termination Letter”), in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, signed on behalf of the Company by its President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board and Secretary or Assistant Secretary and, in the case of a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A, acknowledged and agreed to by the Representative, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account including interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes paid or payable and, in the case of Exhibit B, up to $50,000 of interest to pay liquidation and dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; provided, however, that in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee by the 15-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO (“Closing”) or, in the event that the Company extended the time to complete the Business Combination for up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO by depositing the lesser of (i) $100,000 per month for all remaining public shares or (ii) $0.033 for each remaining public share after giving effect to the redemptions in connection with any vote of the Company’s shareholders regarding the Business Combination or amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or the Trust Agreement for each one-month extension, but has not completed the Business Combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the Closing, (“Last Date”), the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes paid or payable and up to $50,000 of interest to pay liquidation and dissolution expenses), shall be distributed to the Public Shareholders as of the Last Date.”
