(“Ability”) and the shareholders of Ability (the “Ability shareholders”), which, among other things, provides for (a) a merger of Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving the merger and becoming a new public company, and (b) the subsequent exchange of 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ability by the Ability shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco and cash, and to approve the business combination contemplated by such agreement — we refer to this proposal as the “merger proposal”;

 

  (2) to consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Cambridge’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Ability Inc.” as opposed to “Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation”; (ii) Holdco has 200,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Cambridge having 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Cambridge’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Cambridge within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains — we refer to these proposals collectively as the “charter proposals”;

  (4) to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Cambridge is not authorized to consummate the business combination — we refer to this proposal as the “adjournment proposal.”

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of Cambridge common stock at the close of business on November 24, 2015 are entitled to notice of the special meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

After careful consideration, Cambridge’s board of directors has determined that the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal are fair to and in the best interests of Cambridge and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” each of the charter proposals, “FOR” the incentive compensation plan proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, if presented.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF

CAMBRIDGE CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION

 

 

PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 12,186,625 ORDINARY SHARES, 8,557,125 WARRANTS AND

8,557,125 ORDINARY SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

OF

CAMBRIDGE HOLDCO CORP.

 

 

The board of directors of each of Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Cambridge”), and Cambridge’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cambridge Holdco Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdco”), has unanimously approved the merger of Cambridge and Holdco (“redomestication merger”), with Holdco surviving the merger. In the redomestication merger, Holdco will issue one ordinary share for each outstanding share of Cambridge and each outstanding warrant of Cambridge shall automatically represent the right to purchase one ordinary share of Holdco in lieu of one share of Cambridge common stock upon closing of the redomestication merger. Additionally, (i) the holders of outstanding unit purchase options of Cambridge which represent the right to acquire up to 420,000 ordinary shares and 420,000 warrants of Cambridge have agreed to exchange such unit purchase options for an aggregate of 150,000 ordinary shares of Holdco upon consummation of the business combination and (ii) the holder of outstanding promissory notes of Cambridge has indicated he intends to convert the entire principal amount of notes into an aggregate of 35,000 ordinary shares and 35,000 warrants of Holdco upon consummation of the business combination in accordance with the terms of such promissory notes. Accordingly, this prospectus covers an aggregate of 10,719,625 ordinary shares, 8,557,125 warrants and 8,557,125 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of warrants which may be issued by Holdco in exchange for the outstanding securities of Cambridge.

Immediately following the redomestication merger, Cambridge and Holdco will engage in a share exchange (the “share exchange” and together with the redomestication merger, the “business combination”) with the shareholders (the “Ability shareholders”) of Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd., an Israeli company (“Ability” or the “Company”), pursuant to which the Ability shareholders will exchange all of their ordinary shares of Ability for (i) ordinary shares of Holdco and (ii) cash pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization, dated as of September 6, 2015 (“merger agreement”), by and among Cambridge, Holdco, Ability and the Ability shareholders.

This proxy statement/prospectus is also registering 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco being issued to Eyal Tzur as a portion of the consideration he will receive in exchange for the sale of his shares in Ability Security Systems Ltd. and up 253,500 ordinary shares Eyal Tzur may receive upon Ability achieving certain net income targets as set forth in the merger agreement and described herein. Additionally, this proxy statement/prospectus is also registering 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco being issued to Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. as a portion of its fees in connection with the business combination and up to 253,500 ordinary shares which it may receive upon Ability achieving certain net income targets as set forth in the merger agreement and described herein. Accordingly, this proxy statement/prospectus covers an aggregate of 1,467,000 ordinary shares of Holdco which may be issued to Eyal Tzur and Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. as set forth above. Unlike the Ability shareholders, they may be freely sold immediately upon closing of the business combination (or upon receipt in the case of the net income target shares).

As a result of the redomestication merger and subsequent share exchange, Holdco will become a new public company, Ability will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, and the Ability shareholders will become the controlling shareholders of Holdco. The former securityholders of Cambridge also will become securityholders of Holdco. As a result of the business combination, assuming that no stockholders of Cambridge elect to convert their public shares into cash in connection with the redomestication merger as permitted by Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Ability shareholders and the other persons receiving ordinary shares of Holdco comprising a portion of the share exchange consideration (“New Shareholders”) will own approximately 61.6% of the ordinary shares of Holdco to be outstanding immediately after the business combination and the former Cambridge stockholders will own approximately 38.4% of Holdco’s outstanding ordinary shares. If 3,070,594 Cambridge public shares (the maximum number of Cambridge public shares that can be converted, such that at least $40 million is available from the trust account after giving effect to payments that Cambridge would be required to make to converting shareholders and certain other fees and expenses which meets the minimum cash requirements in order to consummate the business combination) are converted into cash, such percentages will be approximately 69.2% and 30.8%, respectively. The foregoing does not take into account the issuance of any net income shares. If no public shares are converted and thereafter the full net income shares are earned, the former Cambridge stockholders would own approximately 29.5% of the total outstanding stock and the New Shareholders would own approximately 70.5%, assuming that no other shares are issued. If the maximum number of public shares are converted and thereafter the full net income shares are earned, the former Cambridge stockholders would own approximately 23.0% of the total outstanding stock and the New Shareholders would own approximately 77.0%, assuming that no other shares are issued.

Proposals to approve the merger agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the special meeting of stockholders of Cambridge scheduled to be held on December 22, 2015.

Cambridge’s units, common stock and warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols CAMBU, CAMB and CAMBW, respectively. Holdco has applied for listing of its ordinary shares and warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols ABIL and ABILW, respectively, and intends to apply for listing of the ordinary shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Holdco will not have units traded following consummation of the business combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the business combination that Holdco receive confirmation from Nasdaq that the combined company meets the listing conditions of the exchange, except for the number of round lot holders, but there can be no assurance such listing conditions will be met or that Holdco will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq. If such listing conditions are not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, these transactions will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the merger agreement is waived by the parties.

Each of Cambridge and Holdco is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the business combination and other matters to be considered at the special meeting of Cambridge’s stockholders. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document and the documents incorporated by reference. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “ Risk Factors .”

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated December 2, 2015, and is first being mailed to Cambridge securityholders on or about such date.

SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

    The parties to the merger agreement are Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation (“Cambridge”), Cambridge Holdco Corp., Cambridge’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Holdco”), Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd. (“Ability”) and Anatoly Hurgin, Ability’s Chief Executive Officer, and Alexander Aurovsky, Ability’s Chief Technology Officer, who are the two shareholders of Ability (the “Ability shareholders”). Pursuant to the merger agreement, (1) Cambridge will be merged with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving as the public company (the “redomestication merger”) and (2) immediately subsequent thereto 100% of the ordinary shares of Ability will be exchanged by the Ability shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco and cash (the “share exchange” and together with the redomestication merger, the “business combination”). See the section in this summary entitled “ The Merger Proposal .”

 

    Ability provides advanced interception, monitoring and cyber intelligence tools to serve the needs and increasing challenges of security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. See the section entitled “ Business of Ability .”

 

    Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the redomestication merger, each share of Cambridge common stock, including those contained in units of Cambridge, will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except that holders, or “public stockholders,” of shares of Cambridge’s common stock sold in its initial public offering, or “public shares,” shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Cambridge’s trust account, as provided in Cambridge’s constitutional documents. Additionally, each outstanding Cambridge warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one ordinary share of Holdco in lieu of one share of Cambridge common stock.

 

    Under the merger agreement, upon consummation of the share exchange, the holders of Ability’s capital stock will be entitled to receive, in their pro rata portion, (1) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (2) $18,150,000 in cash; and (3) an additional number of ordinary shares of Holdco to be issued upon and subject to Ability achieving certain net income targets following the share exchange, which we sometimes refer to as “net income shares,” as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. An aggregate of 960,000 of the ordinary shares otherwise issuable to the Ability shareholders upon consummation of the share exchange shall instead be (i) issued to Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd (480,000 shares), as a portion of its fees in connection with the business combination as described in the section entitled “ Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Parties — Cambridge, ” and (ii) placed into escrow (480,000 shares) for issuance to Eyal Tzur upon exercise of the put or call rights relating to ASM (as defined below), as described in the sixth bullet point of this Summary of the Material Terms of the Business Combination. ” In addition, to the extent any ordinary shares are issuable to the Ability shareholders upon Ability’s achievement of specified net income targets, 3% of such shares shall be issuable to each of (i) Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. as an additional portion of its fee in connection with the business combination and (i) Mr. Tzur as further consideration for the exercise of the put or call rights related to ASM. Accordingly, the number of ordinary shares issuable to the Ability shareholders in the business combination shall be reduced ratably between the two Ability shareholders by the total number of ordinary shares issuable to Mr. Tzur and Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd.

 

    To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for any breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Ability and the Ability shareholders, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) 948,515 ordinary shares of Holdco (valued at $10.10 per share) representing 5% of the total consideration issuable to the Ability shareholders at closing. The shares to be placed in escrow will be allocated among the Ability shareholders pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of Ability owned by them immediately prior to the closing of the business combination. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal .”

 

   

Ability Security Systems Ltd. (“ASM”), wholly owned by Mr. Tzur, has a joint venture agreement with Ability. ASM is registered with the Israeli Defense Export Control Agency (“DECA”) as a certified

exporter, with knowledge and experience related to Israeli Export Control procedures, and Israeli defense and homeland security products. Through the joint venture agreement ASM is an integral part of Ability’s business based on a mutually beneficial commercial relationship utilizing the parties’ complementary skills, commercial connections, experience and capabilities in pursuing business opportunities in the field of DECA controlled products, whereby Ability contributes the substantial business efforts and ASM is responsible mainly for the regulated aspects and contract management. Accordingly, to ensure that all of Ability’s operations are bounded legally under Holdco in connection with the consummation of the merger agreement, Cambridge, Holdco, Ability, the Ability shareholders, ASM and Mr. Tzur, have entered into a share purchase agreement (the “JV share purchase agreement”) pursuant to which (a) promptly following the closing of the business combination, Holdco or another entity designated by Holdco shall purchase 16 shares, or 16%, of the outstanding shares of ASM for $900,000 cash and (b) Mr. Tzur shall have the right to put all, but not less than all, of the remaining outstanding shares and any other equity of ASM to Holdco (or its designated entity) in a single transaction during the 14-month period immediately following the consummation of the business combination in exchange for 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco that are otherwise issuable to the Ability shareholders in the business combination. All of these 480,000 ordinary shares shall be “freely tradable,” meaning such shares will not be subject to any lock-up or other restrictions, except as prescribed by applicable law, plus 3% of any earn out consideration (i.e., the net income shares) that may otherwise become payable to Ability shareholders under the terms of the merger agreement following consummation of the business combination. If the put right is not exercised by Mr. Tzur, then, Holdco shall have the right, exercisable during the 90 days immediately following the foregoing put right period, to call all but not less than all of the remaining shares of ASM in a single transaction in exchange for the foregoing consideration, less a discount of 10%. The parties have entered into an escrow agreement (“JV purchase escrow agreement”) pursuant to which all of the shares of ASM, other than those purchased at the closing of the business combination, shall be placed in escrow to secure the obligations of Mr. Tzur under the terms of the JV share purchase agreement prior to exercise of the put or call rights thereunder. In addition, the parties have entered into other escrow agreements with respect to the ordinary shares of Holdco issuable to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of the put or call rights, including an agreement under which (a) all of the up to 480,000 ordinary shares that may be issued to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of such rights are placed in escrow at the closing of the business combination, and (b) 5% of any such ordinary shares issued to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of the put or call right are held in escrow for not less than one year following closing of the put or call right to secure his indemnification obligations under the JV share purchase agreement. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Transaction — JV Share Purchase Agreement .”

 

    Under the merger agreement, each of the Ability shareholders shall have the right exercisable on one occasion during the 60-day period immediately following the second anniversary of the end of the full fiscal year in which the consummation of the business combination occurred, referred to as the put option exercise period, to put to Holdco all or a portion of his pro rata portion of 1,173,267 ordinary shares he receives in the share exchange for an amount in cash equal to (1)(x) the number of shares being put multiplied by (y) $10.10 per share plus (2) his pro rata portion of interest, if any, and subject to the pre-ruling granted by the Israel Tax Authority, as generated in the put option escrow (as herein defined). At closing of the business combination, $11,850,000 shall be deposited into an escrow account, referred to as the put option escrow, by Holdco to fund the payment of the purchase price for the put if it is exercised (the “put escrow account”). Such a put option shall be exercised by way of a repurchase of shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. During the put option exercise period, the holders of the put may sell all or a portion of his shares if they are not then legally or contractually prohibited from doing so. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Transaction .”

 

   

In addition to voting on the merger, the stockholders of Cambridge will vote on the following separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the charter of Holdco and Cambridge’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) the name of the new public entity will be

Table of Contents
 

“Ability Inc.” as opposed to “Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation”; (ii) Holdco has 200,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Cambridge having 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Cambridge’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Cambridge within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s charter does not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains. See the section entitled “ The Charter Proposals .”

 

    In addition to voting on the merger, the stockholders of Cambridge will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan — we refer to this proposal as the “incentive compensation plan proposal.” See the section entitled “ The Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal .”

 

    The merger agreement provides that either Cambridge or Ability may terminate the agreement if the business combination is not consummated by December 23, 2015. Additionally, Ability may terminate the merger agreement if Cambridge’s public stockholders do not approve the business combination or if Cambridge has less than $5 million of net tangible assets after taking into account all holders of Cambridge’s public shares that validly exercise their conversion rights as described herein.

 

    The agreement also provides that Ability may terminate the agreement if immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Cambridge does not have cash on hand of $40,000,000 after giving effect to payment of amounts that Cambridge will be required to pay to converting stockholders upon consummation of the redomestication merger and certain other fees and expenses as set forth in the merger agreement. As a result, holders of no more than 3,070,594 public shares of Cambridge (or approximately 38.1% of the total outstanding public shares) could seek conversion of their shares without triggering Ability’s right to terminate the merger agreement. Additionally, the merger agreement may be terminated for other reasons, including by the specified party if certain specific tax exemptions to the transaction are not granted by the Israel Tax Authority, or by either Cambridge or Ability upon the material breach of the merger agreement by the other party or the joint venture agreement. See the section entitled “ The Merger Agreement — Termination .”

 

    After the business combination, the directors of Holdco will be Anatoly Hurgin, Alexander Aurovsky, Efraim Halevy and Derek Zissman, who were designated by Ability, and Benjamin Gordon and Mitchell Gordon, who were designated by Cambridge. Benjamin Gordon is currently the Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and a director of Cambridge and Interim Chief Executive Officer and director of Holdco, and Mitchell Gordon is currently the Chief Financial Officer, President and a director of Cambridge. Neither of Messrs. Benjamin Gordon or Mitchell Gordon has received nor will receive any compensation as an executive officer of Cambridge. After the merger, Messrs. Benjamin Gordon, Mitchell Gordon, Efraim Halevy and Derek Zissman will be considered independent directors under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). See the section entitled “ Management of Holdco Following the Business Combination .”

 

    Upon completion of the business combination, the current officers of Ability will remain officers of Ability and will become officers of Holdco, holding the equivalent positions as those held with Ability. These officers are Anatoly Hurgin, who will serve as Chief Executive Officer, Alexander Aurovsky who will serve as Chief Technology Officer and Avi Levin, who will serve as Chief Financial Officer. Each of these persons is currently an executive officer of Ability. See the section entitled “ Management of Holdco Following the Business Combination .”

 

   

The Ability shareholders and The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, a trust for the benefit of the family of Benjamin Gordon, will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the business combination (subject to limited exceptions) until the second anniversary of the end of the full fiscal year in which the closing of the merger agreement occurs. Each Ability shareholder has entered

into a lock-up agreement effective as of the closing, which is a condition to exchanging their capital stock of Ability for the merger consideration. As a condition to the closing of the merger agreement, The Gordon Family 2007 Trust has entered into a similar lock-up effective as of the closing.

 

    The holders of Cambridge’s common stock prior to its initial public offering (the “initial stockholders”) are subject to lock-up agreements by which they will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco they receive as a result of the business combination until (A) with respect to 50% of such shares, the earlier of (i) the date on which the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the merger and (ii) the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the merger and (B) with respect to the remaining 50% of such shares, the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the business combination.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS

 

Q.    Why am I receiving this proxy statement/ prospectus?    A.    Cambridge and Ability have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of September 6, 2015, that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. This agreement is referred to as the “merger agreement.” A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A , and Cambridge encourages its stockholders to read it in its entirety. Cambridge’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement, which, among other things, provides for (a) the merger of Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving the merger, which we call the “redomestication merger,” and (b) the subsequent exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of Ability by the Ability shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco, which we call the “share exchange,” and to approve the business combination contemplated by the merger agreement.
         In addition to voting on the merger, the stockholders of Cambridge will vote on separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Cambridge’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “ Ability Inc.” as opposed to “Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation”; (ii) Holdco has 200,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Cambridge having 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Cambridge’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Cambridge within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains. See the section entitled “ The Charter Proposals .”
         Cambridge’s stockholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. See the section entitled “ The Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal .”
         Under the merger agreement, the approval of the charter is not a condition to the consummation of the business combination. However, because Cambridge does not currently have a sufficient number of authorized shares to consummate the share exchange, the charter proposals must be approved to effectuate the business combination. Accordingly, the approval of the charter proposals is a condition to the adoption of the merger proposal and vice versa.
         Under the merger agreement, the approval of the incentive compensation plan proposal is a condition to the consummation of the business combination.

Table of Contents
         In addition to the foregoing proposals, the stockholders may also be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Cambridge would not have been authorized to consummate the business combination. See the section entitled “ The Adjournment Proposal .”
         Cambridge will hold the special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed business combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. Stockholders should read it carefully.
         The vote of stockholders is important. Stockholders are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q.    I am a Cambridge warrant holder. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?       As a holder of Cambridge warrants, you will be entitled to purchase one ordinary share of Holdco in lieu of one share of Cambridge common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 upon consummation of the business combination, in lieu of one share of common stock of Cambridge. This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about Holdco and the business of Holdco and its subsidiaries following consummation of the business combination. Since holders of Cambridge warrants will become holders of warrants of Holdco and may become holders of Holdco ordinary shares upon consummation of the business combination, we urge you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully.
Q.    Why is Cambridge proposing the business combination?    A.   

Cambridge was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

 

Cambridge completed its initial public offering of units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 upon Cambridge’s completion of its initial business combination, on December 23, 2013, and closed on the sale of the units subject to overallotment on December 30, 2013, raising total gross proceeds of approximately $80,500,000. Since the initial public offering, Cambridge’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

        
         Although Cambridge’s focus in searching for a target business was in the supply chain industry, with an emphasis on target businesses that operated in the traditional transportation and logistics end of the supply chain industry, Cambridge was not limited to that industry and was permitted to choose a target business in any industry or geographic region that it felt provided its stockholders with the greatest opportunity to participate in a company with significant growth potential. Accordingly, it regularly analyzed investment opportunities that were outside the supply chain industry in an effort to locate the best potential business combination opportunity for its stockholders.

         Ability provides advanced interception, monitoring and cyber intelligence tools to serve the needs and increasing challenges of security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. Based on its due diligence investigations of Ability and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Ability in the course of their negotiations, Cambridge believes that Ability has a very appealing growth profile and a compelling valuation. As a result, Cambridge believes that a business combination with Ability will provide Cambridge stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a company with significant growth potential. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Cambridge’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination.
Q.    Do I have conversion rights?    A.    If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to demand that Cambridge convert such shares into cash provided that you vote either for or against the merger proposal. We sometimes refer to these rights to demand conversion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in Cambridge’s trust account as “conversion rights.”
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” will not be converted to cash.
         Under Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the business combination may only be consummated if Cambridge has at least $5 million of net tangible assets after giving effect to all holders of public shares that properly demand conversion of their shares into cash. However, Ability may terminate the merger agreement if immediately prior to the business combination Cambridge does not have cash on hand of at least $40,000,000 after giving effect to payment of amounts that Cambridge will be required to pay to converting stockholders upon consummation of the business combination and certain other fees and expenses. As a result, holders of no more than 3,070,594 public shares of Cambridge (or approximately 38.1% of the total outstanding public shares) could seek conversion of their shares without triggering Ability’s right to terminate the merger agreement.

Q.

   How do I exercise my conversion rights?   

A.

   If you are a holder of public shares and wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must (i) affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal and (ii) demand that Cambridge convert your shares into cash no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal by (A) either checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Mitchell Gordon, Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer, at the address listed at the end of this section and (B) delivering your stock to Cambridge’s transfer agent physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System prior to the vote at the meeting. If you fail to affirmatively vote either for or

Table of Contents
         against the merger proposal, including as a result of an abstention or broker non-vote, you will not be permitted to exercise your conversion rights. Any holder of public shares voting for or against the merger proposal will be entitled to demand that his shares be converted for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (which was $81,311,892.63, or $10.10 per share, as of November 24, 2015, the record date). Such amount, less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the trust account, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the business combination. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the trust account. However, under Delaware law, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Cambridge’s public stockholders exercising conversion rights, regardless of whether such holders vote for or against the merger proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the merger proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your conversion rights.
         If you (i) initially do not vote with respect to the merger proposal but then wish to vote for or against it, or (ii) wish to exercise your conversion rights but initially do not check the box on the proxy card providing for the exercise of your conversion rights and do not send a written request to Cambridge to exercise your conversion rights, you may request Cambridge to send you another proxy card on which you may indicate your intended vote or your intention to exercise your conversion rights. You may make such request by contacting Cambridge at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.
         Any request for conversion, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the merger proposal at the special meeting. If you deliver your shares for conversion to Cambridge’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the special meeting not to elect conversion, you may request that Cambridge’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Cambridge’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.
         Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of conversion rights must be received by Cambridge’s secretary prior to the vote taken on the merger proposal at the special meeting. No demand for conversion will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting.
         If a holder of public shares votes for or against the merger proposal and demand is properly made as described above, then, if the merger are consummated, Cambridge will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of Cambridge common stock for cash and will not be entitled to Holdco ordinary shares upon consummation of the business combination. If the business combination

Table of Contents
         with Ability is not approved or completed for any reason, then holders of public shares who elected to exercise their conversion rights would not be entitled to convert their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account. In such case, Cambridge will promptly return any shares delivered by public holders and such holders may only share in the assets of the trust account upon the liquidation of Cambridge. This may result in holders receiving less than they would have received if the business combination was completed and they exercised conversion in connection therewith due to potential claims of creditors.
         If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your conversion rights, it will not result in the loss of any Cambridge warrants that you may hold. Your warrants will become exercisable to purchase one ordinary share of Holdco in lieu of one share of Cambridge common stock for a purchase price of $11.50 upon consummation of the business combination.
Q.    Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed business combination?    A.    No. Neither Cambridge stockholders nor its unit holders or warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the business combination under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”).
Q.    What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the business combination?    A.    Of the net proceeds of Cambridge’s initial public offering, $76,583,750, together with $4,721,250 raised from the private sale of units simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, for a total of $81,305,000, were placed in the trust account immediately following the initial public offering. After consummation of the business combination, the funds in the trust account will be released to Holdco and used by Holdco to pay the cash merger consideration to Ability’s shareholders, to pay holders of the public shares who exercise conversion rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the business combination with Ability (including fees of an aggregate of approximately $5.4 million to certain underwriters and finders in connection with the business combination), for expenses related to prior proposed business combinations that were not consummated and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Q.    What happens if a substantial number of public stockholders vote in favor of the merger proposal and exercise their conversion rights?       Unlike other blank check companies which require public stockholders to vote against a business combination in order to exercise their conversion rights, Cambridge’s public stockholders may vote in favor of the business combination and exercise their conversion rights. Accordingly, the business combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of conversions by public stockholders. However, Ability may terminate the merger agreement if immediately prior to the business combination Cambridge does not have cash on hand of at least $40,000,000 after giving effect to payment of amounts that Cambridge will be required to pay to converting stockholders upon consummation of the merger and certain other fees and expenses. As a result, holders of no more than 3,070,594 public shares of Cambridge (or approximately 38.1% of the total outstanding public shares) could seek conversion of their shares without triggering Ability’s

         right to terminate the merger agreement. Also, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for Holdco’s ordinary shares may be less liquid than the market for Cambridge’s shares of common stock were prior to the merger and Holdco may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. In addition, with fewer funds available from the trust account, the working capital infusion from the trust account into Ability’s business will be reduced.
Q.    What happens if the business combination is not consummated?    A.    If Cambridge does not complete the business combination with Ability or another business combination by December 23, 2015, Cambridge must redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount then held in the trust account (currently anticipated to be approximately $10.10 per share).
Q.    How do the insiders of Cambridge intend to vote on the proposals?    A.    Cambridge’s initial stockholders — The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, Mitchell Gordon, Michael Durham, Gantcher Family Limited Partnership, Scott Laurans, Sidney Brown, David Brodsky, Herb Shear, Bob Hammel, Jonathan Morris, Elliott Brodsky, Alex 2012 Trust, Ramon Suazo, Raymond Avon Ventures, LLC and Jonathan Meeks — beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 23.6% of the outstanding shares of Cambridge’s common stock. These initial stockholders have agreed to vote their securities in favor of the merger proposal. The Cambridge initial stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting.
Q.    When do you expect the business combination to be completed?    A.    It is currently anticipated that the business combination will be consummated promptly following the Cambridge special meeting which is set for December 22, 2015; however, such meeting could be adjourned, as described above. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the business combination, see the section entitled “ The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination.
Q.    What do I need to do now?    A.    Cambridge urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the business combination will affect you as a stockholder and/or warrantholder of Cambridge. Stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.
Q.    How do I vote?    A.    If you are a holder of record of Cambridge common stock on the record date, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Table of Contents
Q.    If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?    A.    No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.
Q.    May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?    A.    Yes. Stockholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Cambridge’s secretary at the address set forth below so that it is received by Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer prior to the vote at the special meeting or attend the special meeting in person and vote. Stockholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer, which must be received by Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer prior to the vote at the special meeting.
Q.    What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the meeting?    A.    If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the business combination is approved by stockholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder of Holdco. As a corollary, failure to vote either for or against the merger proposal means you will not have any right in connection with the redomestication merger to exchange your shares for a pro rata share of the funds held in Cambridge’s trust account. If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the business combination is not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder and/or warrantholder of Cambridge.
Q.    What should I do with my stock and/or warrants certificates?    A.    Cambridge warrantholders should not submit their warrant certificates now and those stockholders who do not elect to have their Cambridge shares converted into the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit their share certificates now. After the consummation of the business combination, Holdco’s transfer agent will send instructions to Cambridge securityholders regarding the exchange of their Cambridge securities for Holdco securities. Cambridge stockholders who exercise their conversion rights must deliver their stock certificates to Cambridge’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) prior to the vote at the meeting.
Q.    What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?    A.    Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Cambridge shares.

The Parties

Cambridge

Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation is a blank check company formed in order to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Cambridge was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on October 1, 2013.

On December 23, 2013, Cambridge closed its initial public offering of 7,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of its common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 upon consummation of an initial business combination. On December 30, 2013, Cambridge consummated the sale of an additional 1,050,000 units which were subject to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of its initial public offering. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $80,500,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, Cambridge consummated the private sale of 472,125 units to its initial stockholders, in each case at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $4,721,250. A total of $81,305,000, was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. The initial public offering was conducted pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-191868) that became effective on December 17, 2013. As of November 24, 2015, the record date, there was $81,311,892.63 held in the trust account (which included $6,892.63 of accumulated interest which Cambridge withdrew subsequent to such date for its working capital needs pursuant to the investment management trust agreement governing the trust account).

After consummation of the business combination, the funds in the trust account will be released to Holdco and used by Holdco to pay the cash merger consideration to Ability’s shareholders, to pay holders of the public shares who exercise conversion rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the business combination with Ability (including fees of an aggregate of approximately $5.4 million to various underwriters and finders in connection with the business combination), for expenses related to prior proposed business combinations that were not consummated and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Such fees include an M&A fee to EarlyBirdCapital of $2,400,000 (of which $700,000 has been allocated as described below) for acting as Cambridge’s investment banker in connection with the business combination and a finder’s fee to EarlyBirdCapital of $1,900,000, a fee to Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. of $1,062,000 (in addition to 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco otherwise issuable to the Ability shareholders in the business combination that are being registered on the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and which are freely tradeable after the closing) for introducing Ability to Cambridge and for assistance in the negotiating process, a fee to Migdal in an amount equal to 2% (plus value added tax) of the value of any purchases of shares of Cambridge made by investors in Israel and any other any investors introduced to Cambridge or Ability by Migdal that continue to hold such shares through the closing of the

business combination, a fee to FBR Capital Markets & Co. (“FBR”) in an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate sales price of shares of Cambridge purchased by new investors introduced by FBR to Cambridge that continue to hold such shares through the closing of the business combination (with a minimum fee of $1,000,000 of which $700,000 will be paid from the M&A fee to EarlyBirdCapital) and fees to Cambridge’s and Ability’s advisors.

EarlyBirdCapital, in its role as investment banker to Cambridge, has provided Cambridge with advice and assistance in reviewing potential targets with which to consummate a business combination and arranging meetings with and preparing materials for investors in connection with the consummation of the business combination, as well as providing general advice with respect to special acquisition corporation transactions.

EarlyBirdCapital, together with the other holders of Cambridge’s unit purchase options representing the right to acquire up to 420,000 shares of common stock of Cambridge and 420,000 warrants of Cambridge, have agreed to accept 150,000 ordinary shares in exchange for such unit purchase options upon the consummation of the business combination.

Cambridge units, common stock and warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols CAMBU, CAMB and CAMBW, respectively.

The mailing address of Cambridge’s principal executive office is 525 South Flagler Drive, Suite 201, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. Its telephone number is (561) 932-1600. After the consummation of the business combination, it will cease to exist.

Holdco

Cambridge Holdco Corp. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cambridge formed solely for the purpose of effectuating the redomestication merger described herein. Holdco was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on September 1, 2015. Holdco owns no material assets and does not operate any business.

The mailing address of Holdco’s principal executive office is 525 South Flagler Drive, Suite 201, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. Its telephone number is (561) 932-1600.

The Merger Proposal

The merger agreement provides for a business combination transaction by means of (i) the merger of Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company and (ii) the subsequent exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of Ability by the Ability shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco and cash.

Under the merger agreement, the Ability shareholders will receive their pro rata portion: (i) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (ii) $18,150,000 in cash; and (iii) an additional number of net income shares to be issued upon and subject to Ability achieving certain net income targets described below following the business combination, as described below. Of the 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco (a) 480,000 ordinary shares will be placed into escrow under the JV purchase escrow agreement described below and may be issued to Mr. Tzur pursuant to the JV share purchase agreement describe below or, to the extent not issued to him, shall be returned to the Ability shareholders, (b) 480,000 ordinary shares shall be issued to Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. as part of its fee for introducing Ability to Cambridge and (c) the 948,575 ordinary shares to be placed into escrow as described below.

The Ability shareholders will be entitled to receive additional payments of Holdco shares based on Ability’s achievement of specified net income targets in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The following table sets forth the net income targets and the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Ability shareholders upon the achievement of such targets:

 

Year ending December 31,

   Net Income Target      Number of
Holdco Shares
 

2015

   $ 27,000,000         3,600,000   

2016

   $ 40,000,000         1,850,000   

2017

   $ 60,000,000         2,000,000   

2018

   $ 80,000,000         1,000,000   

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the net income target for any fiscal year but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the net income target for such fiscal year, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in the aggregate, such number of Holdco shares equal to the product obtained by (x) the number of Holdco shares that would have been issued to the Ability Shareholders had the net income target been achieved multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by (A) the net income for such fiscal year divided by (B) the net income target for such fiscal year. For illustration, if the net Income for the 2015 fiscal year equals $24,300,000, the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Ability Shareholders for the 2015 net income target shall equal 3,240,000 Holdco shares.

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but satisfies the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the Holdco shares required to be issued by Holdco as a result of Holdco achieving the 2016 net income target, the Holdco shares relating to the net income target. In addition, (i) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2015 net income target and net income for 2016 is a higher percentage of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata Holdco shares required to be issued for the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the difference between the percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income Target and the Net Income for 2015 as compared to the 2015 Net Income target, or (ii) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target and net income for such fiscal year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the 2015 net income target but net income for 2016 is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata of the Holdco shares relating to the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the same percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income target.

Additionally, under the merger agreement, each of the Ability shareholders shall have the right exercisable on one occasion during the 60-day period following the second anniversary of the end of the full fiscal year in which the consummation of the business combination occurs, referred to as the put option escrow period, to put to Holdco all or a portion of his pro rata portion of 1,173,267 ordinary shares he receives in the share exchange for an amount in cash equal to (x) the number of shares being put multiplied by (y) $10.10 per share plus (2) his pro rata portion of interest, if any, and subject to the pre-ruling granted by the Israel Tax Authority, as generated in the put option escrow (as hereafter described). At closing of the business combination, $11,850,000 shall be deposited into escrow, referred to as the put option escrow, by Holdco into the put escrow account to fund the payment of the purchase price for the put if it is exercised. Such a put option shall be exercised by way of a repurchase of shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. During the put option exercise period, the holders of the put may sell all or a portion of their shares if they are not then legally or contractually prohibited from doing so.

Ability will also declare and pay a dividend to the Ability shareholders of $11 million prior to the closing of the merger, which dividend shall be paid from the retained earnings of Ability.

The Ability shareholders and The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, a trust for the benefit of the family of Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge’s chief executive officer, will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the business combination (subject to limited exceptions) until the second anniversary of the end of the full fiscal year in which the closing of the merger agreement closing occurs. Each Ability shareholder entered into a lock-up agreement effective as of closing and as a condition to exchanging their capital stock of Ability for the merger consideration. As a condition to the closing of the merger agreement, The Gordon Family 2007 Trust entered into a similar lock-up that is effective as of closing.

See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Transaction ” for the more information.

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Ability and its shareholders, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) a number of ordinary shares of Holdco issuable to the Ability shareholders at closing equal to 5% of the total merger consideration. The aggregate liability for indemnification will not exceed the shares held in escrow. Other than with respect to actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, Holdco’s rights to indemnification will be its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to the merger agreement. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Indemnification of Holdco .”

Ability Security Systems Ltd. (“ASM”), wholly owned by Mr. Tzur, has a joint venture agreement with Ability. ASM is registered with the Israeli Defense Export Control Agency (“DECA”) as a certified exporter, with knowledge and experience related to Israeli Export Control procedures, and Israeli defense and homeland security products. Through the joint venture agreement ASM is an integral part of Ability’s business based on a mutually beneficial commercial relationship utilizing the parties’ complementary skills, commercial connections, experience and capabilities in pursuing business opportunities in the field of DECA controlled products, whereby Ability contributes the substantial business efforts and ASM is responsible mainly for the regulated aspects and contract management. Accordingly, to ensure that all of Ability’s operations are bounded legally under Holdco, in connection with the consummation of the merger agreement, Cambridge, Holdco, Ability, the Ability shareholders, ASM and Mr. Tzur have entered into the JV share purchase agreement pursuant to which (a) promptly following the closing of the business combination, Holdco or another entity designated by Holdco shall purchase 16 shares, or 16%, of the outstanding shares of ASM for $900,000 cash and (b) Mr. Tzur shall have the right to put all, but not less than all, of the remaining outstanding shares and any other equity of ASM to Holdco (or its designated entity) in a single transaction during the 14-month period immediately following the consummation of the business combination in exchange for 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco that are otherwise issuable to the Ability shareholders in the business combination. All of these 480,000 ordinary shares shall be

“freely tradable,” meaning such shares will not be subject to any lock-up or other restrictions, except as prescribed by applicable law, plus 3% of any earn out consideration (i.e., the net income shares) that may otherwise become payable to Ability shareholders under the terms of the merger agreement following consummation of the business combination. If the put right is not exercised by Mr. Tzur, then, Holdco shall have the right, exercisable during the 90 days immediately following the foregoing put right period, to call all but not less than all of the remaining shares of ASM in a single transaction in exchange for the foregoing consideration, less a discount of 10%. The parties have entered into the JV purchase escrow agreement pursuant to which all of the shares of ASM, other than those purchased at the closing of the business combination, shall be placed in escrow to secure the obligations of Mr. Tzur under the terms of the JV share purchase agreement prior to exercise of the put or call rights thereunder. In addition, the parties have entered into other escrow agreements with respect to the ordinary shares of Holdco issuable to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of the put or call rights, including an agreement under which (a) all of the up to 480,000 ordinary shares that may be issued to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of such rights are placed in escrow at the closing of the business combination, and (b) 5% of any such ordinary shares issued to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of the put or call right are held in escrow for not less than one year following closing of the put or call right to secure his indemnification obligations under the JV share purchase agreement. See the section entitled “The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Transaction — JV Share Purchase Agreement.”

Cambridge and Ability plan to complete the business combination promptly after the Cambridge special meeting, provided that:

 

    Cambridge’s stockholders have approved the merger proposal and charter proposals;

 

    Cambridge has net tangible assets of at least $5 million after taking into account all holders Cambridge’s public shares that have properly exercised their conversion rights;

 

    Holdco has received confirmation from Nasdaq that it meets all the requirements for listing on such exchange other than the requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders; and

 

    the other conditions specified in the merger agreement (including that Cambridge have cash on hand of $40,000,000 after giving effect to payment of amounts that Cambridge will be required to pay to converting stockholders upon consummation of the redomestication merger and certain other fees and expenses of Cambridge and Ability with respect to the transactions) have been satisfied or waived.

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Cambridge’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination ,” Cambridge’s board of directors concluded that the business combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering, including that the business of Ability had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of execution of the merger agreement.

As a result of the business combination, assuming that no stockholders of Cambridge elect to convert their public shares into cash in connection with the redomestication merger as permitted by Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Ability shareholders and the other persons receiving ordinary shares of Holdco comprising a portion of the share exchange consideration will own approximately 61.6% of the ordinary shares of Holdco to be outstanding immediately after the business combination and the former Cambridge stockholders will own approximately 38.4% of Holdco’s outstanding ordinary shares. If the maximum number of Cambridge public shares is converted into cash, such percentages will be approximately 69.2% and 30.8%, respectively. The foregoing does not take into account the issuance of any net income shares. If no public shares are converted and thereafter the full net income shares are earned, the former Cambridge stockholders would own approximately 29.5% of the total outstanding stock and Ability shareholders would own approximately 70.5%, assuming that no other shares are issued. If the maximum number of public shares are converted and thereafter the full net income shares are earned, the former Cambridge stockholders would own approximately 23.0% of the

total outstanding stock and Ability shareholders would own approximately 77.0%, assuming that no other shares are issued.

If the merger proposal is not approved by Cambridge’s stockholders at the special meeting, neither the charter proposals nor the incentive compensation plan proposal will be presented at the special meeting for a vote.

Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of Cambridge

Cambridge engaged Prometheus Financial Advisory Ltd. (“Prometheus”) to render an opinion, as of September 1, 2015, as to (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Cambridge of the merger consideration to be paid by Cambridge in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) whether Ability had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in the trust account. Prometheus is an Israeli independent financial advisory firm, offering a broad range of valuation and consulting services, including fairness and solvency opinions, mergers and acquisitions due diligence services, financial reporting valuations, tax valuations, fixed asset and real estate consulting. Prometheus is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities and the preparation of fairness opinions in connection with mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions.

On September 1, 2015, Prometheus Financial Advisory Ltd. rendered its oral opinion to the Cambridge board (which was confirmed in writing by delivery of Prometheus’ written opinion dated such date), that, as of September 1, 2015, (i) the merger consideration to be paid by Cambridge in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Cambridge and (ii) Ability had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in Cambridge’s trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the funds in the trust account). Subsequent to the delivery of the opinion of Prometheus, and in order to accommodate certain tax structuring desired by the Ability shareholders in connection with the business combination, the terms of the definitive merger agreement were modified such that the amount of cash paid at closing was reduced, and the number of shares issued at closing and subject to the Ability shareholders’ put option (and the cash deposited in escrow for payments therefore) were increased. Prometheus advised that, as of September 4, 2015, such changes were immaterial to its opinion and do not impact the conclusion of the opinion. In November 2015, it became apparent that certain revenues that were expected to be received by Ability in the second half of 2015 will likely be delayed and received in early 2016. Prometheus was made aware of this fact and has advised Cambridge that the changes resulting from this delay do not impact the conclusion of Prometheus’ letter of September 1, 2015.

In reviewing the new information, Prometheus determined that the likely delay in Ability’s revenues impacted Prometheus’ calculations in the following two ways: (1) it slightly decreased the value of Ability (relative to Prometheus’ September 1, 2015 fairness opinion), and (2) it slightly decreased the value of the overall consideration to be paid to the Ability shareholders by Cambridge (relative to Prometheus’ September 1, 2015 fairness opinion) due to the now reduced probability of Ability’s shareholders receiving the earn-out payment in 2015 (this lower probability resulted in a decrease in the value of the earn-out payments). Thus, despite the change in the values of both Ability and the overall value of the consideration to be paid to the Ability shareholders, the conclusion that the transaction was fair to Cambridge from a financial point of view remained unchanged: Ability’s value is still higher than the value of the total consideration to be paid by Cambridge to the Ability shareholders and thus, Prometheus concluded that the transaction was still fair from a financial point of view to Cambridge.

The amount of the consideration to be paid by Cambridge to Ability’s shareholders was determined pursuant to negotiations between Cambridge and Ability and not pursuant to recommendations of Prometheus.

The opinion was provided for the use and benefit of the Cambridge board in connection with its consideration of the business combination and only addressed (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Cambridge of the

Table of Contents

merger consideration to be paid by Cambridge in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) whether Ability had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in the trust account, in each case as of the date of the opinion, and did not address any other aspect or implication of the business combination. The summary of Prometheus’ opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the written opinion, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Prometheus in preparing its opinion. However, neither Prometheus’ written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the proposed business combination.

The Charter Proposals

In addition to voting on the business combination, the stockholders of Cambridge will vote on separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Cambridge’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “ Ability Inc.” as opposed to “Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation”; (ii) Holdco has 200,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Cambridge having 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Cambridge’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Cambridge within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains. See the section entitled “ The Charter Proposals .”

The Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal

The proposed 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan will reserve up to 8% of Holdco ordinary shares following consummation of the merger for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms. The purpose of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan is to assist in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants of Holdco and its affiliates (other than the Ability shareholders who will not be eligible to receive grants under the Plan) and promoting the creation of long-term value for shareholders of Holdco by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of other shareholders. The 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the award of share-based incentives to encourage eligible employees, officers, directors, and consultants, as described below, to expend maximum effort in the creation of shareholder value. The plan is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are encouraged to read the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan in its entirety.

The Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to authorize Cambridge to consummate the business combination (because the merger proposal is not approved or Cambridge would have less than $5 million of net tangible assets after taking into account the holders of the public shares that have properly elected to convert their public shares into cash), Cambridge’s board of directors may submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies. See the section entitled “ The Adjournment Proposal .”

Cambridge Initial Stockholders

As of November 24, 2015, the record date for the Cambridge special meeting, Cambridge’s initial stockholders — The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, Mitchell Gordon, Michael Durham, Gantcher Family Limited Partnership,

Table of Contents

Scott Laurans, Sidney Brown, David Brodsky, Herb Shear, Bob Hammel, Jonathan Morris, Elliott Brodsky, Alex 2012 Trust, Ramon Suazo, Raymond Avon Ventures, LLC and Jonathan Meeks — beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,012,500 initial shares that were issued prior to Cambridge’s initial public offering. These individuals and entities, along with Cambridge Capital LLC, an affiliate of Cambridge’s chief executive officer, and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the managing underwriter in Cambridge’s initial public offering, also purchased an aggregate of 472,125 private units simultaneously with the consummation of Cambridge’s initial public offering. The initial shares and private units currently constitute approximately 23.6% of the outstanding shares of Cambridge’s common stock.

In connection with the initial public offering, each Cambridge initial stockholder agreed to vote the initial shares, the shares included in the private units, as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of the merger proposal. The Cambridge initial stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The initial shares and shares included in the private units have no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Cambridge. In connection with the initial public offering, the Cambridge initial stockholders entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which their initial shares are held in escrow and may not be transferred (subject to limited exceptions) until with respect to 50% of the initial shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of Cambridge’s common stock exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of an initial business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the initial shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to Cambridge’s initial business combination, it consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. The Gordon Family 2007 Trust will also be executing two-year lock-up agreements similar to that being executed by the Ability shareholders.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of Cambridge’s Stockholders

The special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of the stockholders of Cambridge will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on December 22, 2015, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Cambridge’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10174, to consider and vote upon the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal and/or if necessary, the adjournment proposal to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Cambridge is not authorized to consummate the business combination.

Voting Power; Record Date

Stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if they owned shares of Cambridge common stock at the close of business on November 24, 2015, which is the record date for the special meeting. Stockholders will have one vote for each share of Cambridge common stock owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Cambridge warrants do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 10,534,625 shares of Cambridge common stock outstanding, of which 8,050,000 were public shares with the rest being held by the Cambridge initial stockholders and EarlyBirdCapital.

Quorum and Vote of Cambridge Stockholders

A quorum of Cambridge stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Cambridge special meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented

Table of Contents

in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Cambridge initial stockholders hold approximately 23.6% of the outstanding shares of Cambridge common stock. Such shares, as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket by the Cambridge initial stockholders, will be voted in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting. The proposals presented at the special meeting will require the following votes:

 

    Pursuant to Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the merger proposal. There are currently 10,534,625 shares of Cambridge common stock outstanding, of which 8,050,000 are public shares.

 

    The approval of each of the charter proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cambridge common stock on the record date.

 

    The approval of the incentive compensation plan proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cambridge common stock on the record date.

 

    The approval of the adjournment proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal, and the adjournment proposal, if presented. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the merger proposal, the charter proposals or an adjournment proposal. Please note that holders of the public shares cannot seek conversion of their shares unless they affirmatively vote for or against the merger proposal.

Under the merger agreement, the approval of the charter proposals is not a condition to the consummation of the business combination. However, because Cambridge does not currently have a sufficient number of authorized shares to consummate the share exchange, the charter proposals must be approved to effectuate the business combination. Accordingly, the approval of the charter proposals is a condition to the adoption of the merger proposal and vice versa. The approval of the incentive compensation plan is a condition to the consummation of the business combination. In addition, if any one of the merger proposal or the charter proposals is not approved, the incentive compensation plan proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

Conversion Rights

Pursuant to Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of public shares may demand that Cambridge convert such shares into cash if the business combination is consummated. Holders of public shares will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if they (i) affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal and (ii) demand that Cambridge convert their shares into cash no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal by (A) either checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Mitchell Gordon, Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer and (B) delivering their stock to Cambridge’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. If you fail to affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal, including as a result of an abstention or broker non-vote, you will not be permitted to exercise your conversion rights. If the business combination is not completed, these shares will not be converted into cash. In such case, Cambridge will promptly return any shares delivered by public holders for conversion and such holders may only share in the assets of the trust account upon the liquidation of Cambridge. This may result in holders receiving less than they would have received if the business combination was completed and they had exercised their conversion rights in connection therewith due to potential claims of creditors. If a holder of public shares properly demands conversion and votes for or against the merger proposal, Cambridge will convert each public share into a full pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the business combination. As of November 24, 2015, the record date, this

would amount to approximately $10.10 per share. If a holder of public shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Cambridge common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. See the section entitled “ Special Meeting of Cambridge Stockholders — Conversion Rights ” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public stockholder will not be converted to cash.

The business combination will not be consummated if Cambridge has net tangible assets of less than $5 million after taking into account holders of public shares that have properly demanded conversion of their shares into cash. Further, the merger agreement provides that Ability may terminate the agreement if immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Cambridge does not have cash on hand of at least $40,000,000 after giving effect to payment of amounts that Cambridge will be required to pay to converting stockholders upon consummation of the redomestication merger and certain other fees and expenses. As a result, holders of no more than 3,070,594 public shares of Cambridge (or approximately 38.1% of the total outstanding public shares) could seek conversion of their shares without triggering Ability’s right to terminate the merger agreement. If Ability does not waive this termination right and Cambridge has less than the required amount in trust, the business combination will not be consummated.

Holders of Cambridge warrants will not have conversion rights with respect to such securities.

Appraisal Rights

Cambridge stockholders (including the initial stockholders) and Cambridge warrantholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Cambridge has engaged Morrow & Co. to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the special meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “ Special Meeting of Cambridge Stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy .”

Interests of Cambridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of Cambridge’s board of directors in favor of approval of the merger proposal, you should keep in mind that Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder or warrantholder. These interests include, among other things:

 

   

If the business combination with Ability or another business combination is not consummated by December 23, 2015, Cambridge will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 2,012,500 initial shares held by Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to Cambridge’s initial public offering, would be worthless because Cambridge’s initial stockholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption

or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $20,286,000 based upon the closing price of $10.08 per share on Nasdaq on November 24, 2015, the record date.

 

    Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 472,125 private units from Cambridge for an aggregate purchase price of $4,721,250 (or $10.00 per unit). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering. All of the proceeds Cambridge received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such units had an aggregate market value of $4,853,445 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per unit on Nasdaq on November 24, 2015, the record date. The purchasers of the private units waived the right to participate in any redemption or liquidation distribution with respect to such private units. Accordingly, the Cambridge shares and warrants underlying the private units will become worthless if Cambridge does not consummate a business combination by December 23, 2015 (as will the Cambridge warrants held by public stockholders).

 

    The market value of each of the Cambridge directors’ current equity ownership in Cambridge common stock and units, based on the closing price of $10.08 per share of common stock and $10.28 per unit on the Nasdaq as of November 24, 2015, the record date, is as follows:

  (1) Represents common stock purchased by Mr. Gordon in open market transactions and which are part of the public share pool.
  (2) Represents units held by Cambridge Capital LLC, an affiliate of Benjamin Gordon. Does not include 1,582,413 shares with an aggregate value of $15,950,723 held by The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, a trust established for the benefit of Mr. Gordon’s family, over which Mr. Gordon exercises no control. In the event the merger is not consummated, 1,567,500 shares owned by The Gordon Family 2007 Trust will become worthless.
  (3) Represents shares held by Gantcher Family Limited Partnership. Mr. Gantcher is the managing member of Gantcher Family Partners, LLC, which is the general partner of Gantcher Family Limited Partnership.

 

    The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that Benjamin Gordon and Mitchell Gordon will be directors of Holdco after the closing of the business combination. As such, in the future each will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Holdco board of directors determines to pay to its non-executive directors.

 

    Currently, it is anticipated that non-employee directors, such as Messrs. Benjamin Gordon and Mitchell Gordon, of Holdco following the business combination will receive an annual retainer fee and annual awards under Holdco’s 2015 in amounts to be determined by the board of directors of Holdco in its discretion. In addition, nonemployee directors of Holdco may be eligible to receive a fee for each board meeting attended in person, as may be determined by the board of directors. Finally, as it is anticipated that either or both of Messrs. Gordon and Gordon will become members of one or more committees of the Holdco board of directors following the business combination, and would receive an additional annual fee in an amount to be determined by Holdco’s board of directors for serving in such role.

 

   

If Holdco is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, Cambridge’s executive officers will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money

by Cambridge for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Cambridge, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver.

 

    Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Cambridge’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Cambridge fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Cambridge may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the business combination with Ability or another business combination, is not completed by December 23, 2015. As of November 24, 2015, the record date, Cambridge’s initial stockholders and their affiliates had incurred approximately $298,169 of unpaid reimbursable expenses.

 

    Since its inception, Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge’s chief executive officer, has made loans from time to time to Cambridge to fund certain capital requirements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, an aggregate of $350,000 principal amount of these loans is outstanding. These loans are evidenced by non-interest bearing notes that are convertible at Mr. Gordon’s election upon the consummation of an initial business combination into units of Cambridge, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Mr. Gordon has indicated he intends to convert the full amount of the notes into units, resulting in him being issued an aggregate of 35,000 ordinary shares and 35,000 warrants of Holdco. If the business combination is not consummated, the notes will not be repaid or converted and will be forgiven.

 

    If Cambridge is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, Cambridge’s executive officers have agreed to advance Cambridge the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Cambridge or its securities, the Cambridge initial stockholders, Ability or Ability’s shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Cambridge’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the merger proposal vote in its favor and that Cambridge have in excess of the required amount to consummate the business combination under the merger agreement, where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Cambridge initial stockholders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Cambridge’s common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the business combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposal and other

Table of Contents

proposals to be presented at the special meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Moreover, any such purchases may make it more likely that Cambridge will have in excess of the required amount of cash available to consummate the business combination as described above.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Cambridge will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Recommendation to Stockholders

Cambridge’s board of directors believes that the merger proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the special meeting are fair to and in the best interest of Cambridge’s stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” each of the charter proposals, “FOR the incentive compensation plan proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, if presented.

Table of Contents
    by Cambridge if the relevant Israeli Tax Authorities issue any ruling or decision prior to consummation of the business combination that serves to lock-up or restrict transfers by any person holding Cambridge common stock prior to the consummation of the business combination, other than any pre-closing director or officer of Cambridge holding 5% or more of the outstanding Cambridge common stock;

    by Cambridge if either ASM or Mr. Tzur has materially breached any representation or covenant contained in the JV share purchase agreement, unless the business and operations of ASM can be otherwise transferred to Holdco without liabilities to Holdco.

If permitted under applicable law, either Cambridge or Ability may waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the merger agreement and waive compliance with any agreements or conditions for the benefit of itself or such party contained in the merger agreement. However, the condition requiring that Cambridge have at least $5 million of net tangible assets upon closing may not be waived by Cambridge or Ability, due to applicable laws.

The existence of the financial and personal interests of the Cambridge directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what he may believe is best for Cambridge and what he may believe is best for him in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation. See the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” for a fuller discussion of this and other risks.

Tax Consequences of the Business Combination

Cambridge has received an opinion from its counsel, Graubard Miller, that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the redomestication merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization and:

 

    No gain or loss will be recognized by stockholders of Cambridge who do not elect conversion of their public shares and no gain or loss will be recognized by warrantholders of Cambridge if such holder owns less than 5% of the shares of Holdco following the business combination or if such holder owns 5% or more of the shares of Holdco following the business combination and such holder files a gain recognition agreement with such holders federal income tax return or is otherwise eligible for non-recognition of gain treatment under applicable Treasury regulations;

 

    A stockholder of Cambridge who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in Cambridge will be required to recognize capital gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of Cambridge for cash, if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the business combination. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Cambridge common stock; and

 

    Cash payments to the Ability shareholders under the merger agreement shall be subject to withholding of taxes under the laws of the State of Israel provided for under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Stockholders of Cambridge are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors, because the tax consequences may be different among the stockholders depending on their personal circumstances.

Table of Contents

Cambridge also believes that it will not incur any material amount of federal tax as a result of the business combination. It is expected that Cambridge will not recognize any material gain or loss as a result of Cambridge’s redomestication merger with Holdco. An evaluation will be made prior to the closing of the redomestication merger to establish whether Cambridge has any intangible assets that will be transferred to Holdco in connection with such merger. If there are any such intangible assets, it is not expected that they will be of a substantial amount and any federal income tax will not be of material significance. The IRS may not agree with this conclusion. In such an event, there may be significant tax obligations for Holdco, the surviving company, to pay based on the value of Cambridge’s appreciated assets at the time of the redomestication merger.

The tax opinion is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D . Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus. For a description of the material federal income tax consequences of the merger, please see the information set forth in “ The Merger Proposal — Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Cambridge and its Securityholders .”

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The business combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Cambridge will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Ability comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Ability senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company, and the former owners and management of Ability will have control of the board of directors after the merger. In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the merger will be treated as the equivalent of Ability issuing shares for the net assets of Cambridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Cambridge will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the merger will be those of Ability.

Regulatory Matters

The business combination and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the special meeting, a stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “ Risk Factors .”

RISK FACTORS

Stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Risks Related to Holdco’s Business and Operations Following the Business Combination with Ability

The value of your investment in Holdco following consummation of the business combination will be subject to the significant risks affecting Ability and inherent in the industry in which it operates. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. If any of the events described below occur, the post-acquisition business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of its ordinary shares to decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. As used in the risks described in this subsection, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to Ability unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Risks Related to Ability’s Business

Competition, Markets and Operations

Our business is impacted by changes in general economic conditions and information technology.

Our business is subject to risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. Adverse economic conditions in markets in which we operate can harm our business. In particular, clients may reduce spending in connection with areas that utilize our solutions, and our customers may prioritize other expenditures over our solutions. If any of the above occurs, and our customers significantly reduce their spending or significantly delay or fail to make payments to us, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

Disruption to the global economy could also result in a number of follow-on effects on our business, including a possible slow-down in our business, resulting from lower customer expenditures; inability of customers to pay for products and services on time, if at all; more restrictive export regulations which could limit our potential customer base; negative impact on our liquidity, financial condition and share price, which may impact our ability to raise capital in the market, obtain financing and secure other sources of funding in the future on terms favorable to us.

We face risks relating to government spending and contracts with governments and governmental agencies.

Substantially all of our revenues to date have been generated from contracts with various governments around the world, including national, regional, and local governmental agencies, either directly or through integrators or distributors. We expect that government contracts will continue to be a significant source of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Slowdowns, recessions, economic instability, political unrest, armed conflicts or natural disasters around the world may cause governments and governmental agencies to delay, reduce or even cancel planned spending, reduce or terminate projects, even if already budgeted, or decide to change priorities and reallocate budgets. Concerns about the financial conditions of certain governments in Europe, which may have an impact on the entire Euro zone, and the economic unrest in Russia and Eastern Europe could also adversely affect spending by certain governments.

Sales to governments and governmental agencies are subject to special risks, such as delays in funding, termination of contracts or sub-contracts at the convenience of the government, reduction or modification of contracts or sub-contracts in the event of changes in the government’s policies or priorities, as a result of budgetary constraints or for other reasons, collection difficulties, increased or unexpected costs resulting in losses

or reduced profits under fixed price contracts and governmental agencies’ right to audit and investigate government contractors. Furthermore, some of our engagements require delivery in phases, and while each phase requires particular customer acceptance, a customer may require acceptance of the complete system with a right of return of the system, regardless of any previous partial acceptance. Failure to obtain customer acceptance for the complete system, the customer’s exercise of a right of return, or, generally, an early termination for convenience, would not entitle us to reimbursement for all of our incurred contract costs or profit for work performed. While such occurrences have not happened in the past, we cannot assure you that we will not experience problems in the future in our performance of such government contracts.

In addition, the market for certain of our solutions is highly dependent on the spending cycle and scope of federal, state, local and municipal governments, as well as those of security organizations in international markets. We cannot assure you that these spending cycles will materialize as we expect and that we will be positioned to benefit from these potential opportunities.

We are subject to risks associated with doing business globally.

Currently, all of our operations are outside of the U.S. The countries and regions in which we have our most significant foreign operations include Latin America, Israel (through resellers in Israel that then sell into foreign territories) and Asia, and we intend to continue to expand our operations internationally. We sell our products and solutions throughout the world and intend to continue to increase our penetration of international markets. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately 89%, 68% and 87% of our revenues, respectively, were derived from sales to customers outside of Israel (in each period Israel includes sales through Israeli integrators to end users outside of Israel). Our operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business globally and under the laws, regulations and customs of various jurisdictions and geographies. We believe our business may suffer if we are unable to successfully expand into new regions, as well as maintain and expand our existing foreign operations. In addition to risks related to currency exchange rate fluctuations, risks that affect our foreign operations include changes in exchange controls, changes in taxation and potentially adverse tax consequences in operating in certain countries, importation limitations, policies and procedures that protect local suppliers, recruitment and retention of foreign employees, export control restrictions, changes in or violations of applicable laws, economic and political instability, disputes between countries, diminished or insufficient protection of intellectual property, competition in foreign countries, product customization or localization issues, challenges in collection of accounts receivable and longer payment cycles, and disruption or destruction of operations in a significant geographic region regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest. Failure to comply with, or material changes to, the laws and regulations that affect our global operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As we continue to explore the expansion of our global reach, an increasing focus of our business may be in emerging markets, including India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Brazil and others. In many of these emerging markets, we may be faced with risks that are more significant than if we were to do business in developed countries, which risks include undeveloped legal systems, unstable governments and economies, and potential governmental actions affecting the flow of goods and currency. We cannot assure you that one or more of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our international operations, business, financial condition and results of operations.

The industry in which we operate is characterized by rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards and changing market potential from area to area, and if we cannot anticipate and react to such changes, our results may suffer.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products embodying new technology, new delivery platforms, the commoditization of older technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and technological hurdles can exert pricing pressure

on existing products and/or render them unmarketable or obsolete. For example, new standards for cellular networks are introduced from time to time, such as 4G networks, and the proposed 5G networks, which Verizon recently announced its plans to rollout to customers by 2017. We are currently developing an interception system for 4G networks. Moreover, the market potential and growth rates of the markets we serve are not uniform and are evolving.

It is critical to our success that we are able to anticipate and respond to changes in technology and industry standards and new customer challenges by consistently developing new, innovative, high-quality products and services that meet or exceed the changing needs of our customers. We must also successfully identify, enter and prioritize areas of growing market potential, including by launching and driving demand for new and enhanced solutions and services. If we are unable to execute on these strategic priorities, or if our competitors are able to do so more rapidly, we may lose market share or experience slower growth, and our profitability and other results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Customer adoption of these new technologies may be slower than we anticipate. We cannot assure you that the market or demand for our products and solutions will be sustained or grow as rapidly as we expect (if at all), that we will successfully develop new products or introduce new applications for existing products, that such new products or applications will achieve market acceptance or that the introduction of new products or technological developments by others will not render our products obsolete. In addition, certain of our products must readily integrate with major third party security, telephone, front-office and back-office systems. Any changes to these third party systems could require us to redesign our products, and any such redesign might not be possible on a timely basis or achieve market acceptance. If we were unable to develop products that are competitive in technology and price and responsive to customer needs, there would be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Therefore, some of the factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations include industry-specific factors; our ability to continuously develop, introduce, deliver and support commercially viable products, solutions and technologies; the market’s rate of acceptance of the product solutions and technologies we offer; and our ability to keep pace with market and technology changes and to compete successfully.

Intense competition in our markets and competitors with greater resources than us may limit our market share, profitability and growth.

We face aggressive competition from numerous and varied competitors in all of our markets, making it difficult to maintain market share, remain profitable, invest and grow. We will also encounter new competitors as we expand into new markets. Our competitors may be able to more quickly develop or adapt to new or emerging technologies, better respond to changes in customer needs or preferences, better identify and enter into new areas of growth or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Some of our competitors have, in relation to us, longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer standing relationships with customers, superior brand recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service, public relations, distribution or other resources, especially in new markets we may enter. Consolidation among our competitors may also improve their competitive position. In addition, system integrators, as well as infrastructure vendors, may decide in the future to enter our market space and compete with us by comprehensive solutions. We also face competition from solutions developed internally by our customers. To the extent that we cannot compete effectively, our market share and, therefore, results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Because price and related terms are key considerations for many of our customers, we may, from time to time, have to accept less-favorable payment terms, lower the prices of our products and services, and/or reduce our cost structure, including reducing headcount or investment in research and development, in order to remain competitive. If we are forced to take these kinds of actions to remain competitive in the short-term, such actions

 

37


Table of Contents

may adversely impact our ability to compete in the long-term. Prices of most of our solutions have decreased throughout the market in recent years, primarily due to competitive pressures. We cannot assure you that the prices will not continue to decrease or that our gross profit will not decrease as a result.

New potential entrants to our markets may lead to the widespread availability and standardization of some of the products and services, which could result in the commoditization of our products and services, reduce the demand for our products and services and drive us to lower our prices.

Successful marketing of our products and services to our customers and partners will be critical to our ability to maintain growth.

While the market for our products is constantly growing, successful positioning and sales execution of our products is a critical factor in our ability to successfully compete and maintain growth. As a result, we expect to continue making significant expenditures on research and development and marketing. We cannot assure you that our marketing or research and development efforts will be successful.

The market for some of our solutions is highly fragmented and includes products offering a broad range of features and capabilities. Consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, or alliances formed, among our competitors in this market, who may have greater resources than we have, could substantially influence our competitive position.

In addition, the success of some of our solutions depends on our ability to develop an effective network of distributors, while facing pricing pressures and low barriers to entry. We cannot assure you that our existing or future products or alliances for the future distribution of our products will permit us to compete successfully.

Ability’s sales and marketing efforts are negatively affected by customer confidentiality obligations.

Substantially all of Ability’s customers do not permit Ability to identify them as customers due to the sensitive nature of the products Ability sells to them and projects it undertakes on their behalf, including due to national security concerns for certain government customers. Accordingly, Ability is not able to identify its customers in its marketing and sales materials or the specific purpose for which certain products were sold or projects were undertaken. Moreover, Ability is unable to use substantially all of its customers as referral sources. These limitations could adversely affect Ability’s marketing and sales efforts.

Our future success depends on our ability to enhance our existing operations, execute on our growth strategy and properly manage investment in our business and operations.

We have experienced significant growth in recent years and our existing infrastructure, systems, processes, and personnel may not be adequate for our current or future needs. A key element of our strategy is to continue to invest in, enhance and secure our business and operations and grow, both organically and through acquisitions. Investments in, among other things, new markets, new products, solutions, and technologies, research and development, infrastructure and systems, geographic expansion and headcount are critical components in achieving this strategy. Our ability to implement this portion of our growth strategy is dependent on our ability to market our solutions on a larger scale, increase our brand recognition and enter into distribution and other strategic arrangements with third party suppliers and distributors, as well as manage growth in administrative overhead and distribution costs likely to result from our planned geographic expansion.

However, such investments and efforts may not be successful, especially in new areas or new markets in which we have little or no experience, and even if successful, may negatively impact our short-term profitability. Our success depends on our ability to effectively and efficiently enhance our existing operations and execute on our growth strategy, including our ability to properly allocate limited investment dollars, balance the extent and timing of investments with the associated impact on expenses and profitability, balance our focus between new areas or new markets and the operation and servicing of our legacy businesses and customers, capture

Table of Contents

efficiencies and economies of scale and compete in the new areas or new markets and with the new solutions in which we have invested. If we are unable to effectively and efficiently enhance our existing operations, execute on our growth strategy and properly manage our investments, focus and expenditures, our results of operations and market share may be materially adversely affected.

We face risks relating to large projects.

In order to successfully compete in all sectors of our business, including security projects awarded through a competitive bid, we may be required to commit to provide certain technologies and solutions which are under development or which we may have to develop, license from a third party or acquire, specifically for that customer. This may result in technological difficulties that may prevent us from complying with our contractual obligations, exposing us to possible penalties and legal claims, and may affect the profitability of a project, which may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The larger and more complex our customer’s projects are, the greater the risks associated with such projects. Moreover, these risks are increased due to our need to custom design our solutions to meet customer specific needs. These risks may include our exposure to penalties and liabilities resulting from a breach of contract, our ability to fully integrate our products with third party products, and a risk of failure due to a combination of various technologies and complex environments. In some of these projects we may use domestic or overseas subcontractors for various planning aspects, solution development, integration, delivery and the successful and timely completion of such projects. We may be held liable for the failure of our subcontractors, from whom we may have no recourse. Additionally, to the extent that we cannot engage such subcontractors, partners or specialists or cannot engage them on a competitive basis, our ability to complete a project in a timely fashion or at a profit may be impaired.

We may experience fluctuations in being selected for such large projects, which correspondingly may result in substantial fluctuations in our income and results of operations. In addition, there may be fluctuations in cash collection and revenue recognition with respect to such projects. Further, revenues from large projects are likely to be a single occurrence and nonrecurring.

We may not be able to identify suitable targets for acquisition or investment, or complete acquisitions or investments on terms acceptable to us, which could negatively impact our ability to implement our growth strategy.

We have identified a number of qualified companies that deal primarily in GSM network in a box technologies that complement our interception line of products. The process for acquiring such a company may take from several months up to a year and costs can vary greatly. We may also compete with others to acquire companies, and such competition may result in decreased availability of, or an increase in price for, suitable acquisition candidates. In addition, we may not be able to consummate acquisitions or investments that we have identified as crucial to the implementation of our strategy for other commercial or economic reasons. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to identify suitable acquisition or investment targets or to consummate acquisitions or investments once identified on acceptable terms or at all. If we are not able to execute on our acquisition strategy, we may not be able to achieve our growth strategy, may lose market share or may lose our leadership position in one or more of our markets.

Our acquisition and investment activity presents certain risks to our business, operations and financial position.

We expect that acquisitions and investments will be an important part of our growth strategy. Successful execution following the closing of an acquisition or investment is paramount to achieving the anticipated benefits of the transaction. The process of integrating an acquired company’s business into our operations and investing in new technologies is challenging and may result in expected or unexpected operating or compliance challenges, which may require significant expenditures and a significant amount of our management’s attention that would

 

39


Table of Contents

otherwise be focused on the ongoing operation of our business. The potential difficulties or risks of integrating an acquired company’s business include, among others:

 

    the effect of the acquisition on our financial and strategic positions and our reputation;

 

    risk that we fail to successfully implement our business plan for the combined business;

 

    risk that we are unable to obtain the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, including synergies or economies of scale;

 

    risk that we are unable to complete development and/or integration of acquired technologies;

 

    risk that the market does not accept the integrated product portfolio;

 

    challenges in reconciling business practices or in integrating product development activities, logistics or information technology and other systems;

 

    challenges in reconciling accounting issues, especially if an acquired company utilizes accounting principles different from those we use;

 

    retention risk with respect to key customers, suppliers and employees and challenges in retaining, assimilating and training new employees;

 

    challenges in complying with newly applicable laws and regulations, including obtaining or retaining required approvals, licenses and permits; and

 

    potential impact on our internal controls over financial reporting.

Acquisitions and/or investments may also result in the expenditure of available cash and amortization expenses or write-downs related to intangible assets such as goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial condition. Investments in immature businesses with unproven track records and technologies have an especially high degree of risk, with the possibility that we may lose the value of our entire investments or incur additional unexpected liabilities. Large or costly acquisitions or investments may also diminish our capital resources and liquidity or limit our ability to engage in additional transactions for a period of time. All of the foregoing risks may be magnified as the cost, size or complexity of an acquisition or acquired company increases, or where the acquired company’s products, market or business are materially different from ours, or where more than one integration is occurring simultaneously or within a concentrated period of time.

We may not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, including those of antitrust authorities and foreign investment authorities, in countries where we seek to consummate acquisitions or make investments. For those and other reasons, we may ultimately fail to consummate an acquisition, even if we announce the intended acquisition.

In addition, in the future we may require significant financing to complete an acquisition or investment, whether through bank loans, raising of debt or otherwise. We cannot assure you that such financing options will be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. If we are not able to obtain such necessary financing, it could have an impact on our ability to consummate a substantial acquisition or investment and execute our growth strategy. Alternatively, we may issue a significant number of shares as consideration for an acquisition, which would have a dilutive effect on our existing shareholders.

Incorrect or improper use of our products and solutions or failure to properly provide professional services and maintenance services could result in negative publicity and legal liability.

Our products and solutions are complex and are deployed in a wide variety of network environments. The proper use of our products requires training and, if our products are not used correctly or as intended, insufficient results may be produced. Our products may also be intentionally misused or abused by clients who use our products. The incorrect or improper use of our products and solutions or our failure to properly provide professional

services and maintenance services, including installation, training, project management, product customizations and consulting to our clients may result in losses suffered by our clients, which could result in negative publicity and product liability or other legal claims against us.

Furthermore, the use of our solutions by a government to conduct interception in violation of such government’s laws could result in negative publicity or even legal claims against us. Public incidents, such as the attack on, and infiltration of, Google Inc.’s corporate infrastructure, suspected to have been sponsored by a foreign government, and the various data leaks publicized by WikiLeaks, have demonstrated the societal pressures and legal issues regarding the use of surveillance and interception technologies by governments.

The entrance into U.S. markets will expose our business to additional risks.

A key element of our growth strategy is to enter the U.S. markets for our products. In order to do so, we believe we must establish a relationship with a local U.S. market participant that has relationships with potential customers and distribution capabilities. We will also need to develop a strategy to differentiate our products within the U.S. from those outside of the U.S. so our non-U.S. products do not fall under U.S. export control restrictions. Upon entering the U.S. markets, we may become subject to additional U.S. regulatory requirements. Inasmuch as we anticipate that our future sales in the U.S. will be made primarily to U.S. governmental agencies, we will become subject to all of the risks related to government contracts. There can be no assurance that we will develop a successful strategy to enter the U.S. markets or that, upon entry into the U.S. markets, we will successfully compete in that market.

In addition, the entrance into U.S. markets will also expose us to risks relating to U.S. regulatory requirements regarding customer use of our products. In September 2015, The U.S. Justice Department announced a new policy requiring federal law enforcement officials to obtain a search warrant prior to using secretive and intrusive cell-phone tracking technology. This new policy could make the U.S. market less attractive to us and could adversely affect demand for our products in the U.S.

Our solutions may contain defects or may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which could expose us to both financial and non-financial damages.

Many of our existing solutions are, and future solutions are expected to be, sophisticated and may develop operational problems. New products and new product versions also give rise to the risk of defects or errors. These defects or errors may relate to the operation or the security of the products and could result in product returns, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims by clients or others, which would seriously harm our revenues, financial condition and results of operations. If we do not discover and remedy such defects, errors or other operational or security problems until after a product has been released to customers, we may incur significant costs to correct such problems and/or become liable for substantial damages for product liability claims or other liabilities. Furthermore, correcting and repairing such errors, failures or defects could also require significant expenditures of our capital and other resources and could cause interruptions, delays or cessation of our product licensing. In addition, the identification of errors in our software applications or the detection of bugs by our clients may damage our reputation in the market as well as our relationships with existing clients, which may result in our inability to attract or retain clients.

We face risks related to the concentration of third party resellers and direct customers with which we do business and, if we are unable to establish and maintain our relationships with such resellers and customers, our business and ability to grow could be materially adversely affected.

We conduct business with a relatively small number of resellers (i.e., resellers, distributors and system integrators) and direct customers, each of which could be material to our business. With respect to sales in many regions and countries, we sell to third party resellers that, in turn, resell our products to various security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies. For the years ended

 

41


Table of Contents

December 31, 2013 and 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2015, one significant reseller accounted for 63%, 31% and 68% of our revenues, respectively, and one other reseller in each such fiscal period accounted for 18%, 31% and 13% of our revenues, respectively. We expect that sales of our products and services to relatively few significant resellers and customers could continue to account for a substantial percentage of our sales in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these key resellers and customers or that such resellers and customers will not cancel purchase orders, reschedule or decrease their level of purchases. Loss, cancellation, deferral of business by, or failure to receive new contracts, renewals or follow-on contracts from, such resellers and customers could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

To remain successful, we must maintain our existing relationships as well as identify and establish new relationships with third party resellers. We must often compete with other suppliers for these relationships and our competitors often seek to establish exclusive relationships with these sales channels or to become a preferred partner for them. Our ability to establish and maintain these relationships is based on, among other things, factors that are similar to those on which we compete for end customers, including features, functionality, ease of use, installation and maintenance and price.

We believe that developing partnerships and strategic alliances is an important factor in our success in marketing our products. In some markets we have only recently started to develop a number of partnerships and strategic alliances. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop such partnerships or strategic alliances on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Failure to develop such arrangements that are satisfactory to us may limit our ability to successfully market and sell products and may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

As our market opportunities change, our reliance on particular distribution channels and strategic partners may increase or we may need to create new strategic partnerships and alliances to address changing market needs, all of which may negatively impact our growth and gross margins. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in maintaining, creating or expanding these channels and partnerships.

In addition, the execution of our growth strategy also depends on our ability to create new alliances and enter into strategic partnerships with certain market players and in certain markets, particularly the U.S. Even if we are able to enter into such alliances, it may be under terms that are not favorable to us, or we may not be able to realize the benefits that are anticipated through such alliances. If we are not successful at these efforts, we may lose sales opportunities, customers and market share, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Risks associated with direct competition from our global distribution or partnership channels may materially adversely affect our financial results.

Certain of our current distribution channel partners or our strategic partners currently compete with us or may enter into our markets in competition with us, which could result in the termination of our relationship or lead to a significant reduction in sales through related channels. In addition, certain of our suppliers of material components of our products offer their own competing products.

The sophisticated nature of our solutions, customization of solutions based on specific customer needs, sales cycle and unpredictable sales terms and timing may create uncertainty in, or negatively impact, our operating results and make such results more volatile and difficult to predict.

The timing of our sales cycle ranges from as little as a few weeks to more than a year. Our larger sales, which we emphasize in our sales strategy, typically require a minimum of a few months to consummate. As the length or complexity of a sales process increases, so does the risk of not successfully closing the sale. Larger sales are often made by competitive bid, which also increases the time and uncertainty associated with such opportunities. In addition, because many of our solutions are sophisticated, customers may also require education on the value and functionality of our solutions as part of the sales process, further extending the time frame and uncertainty of the process.

 

42


Table of Contents

Longer sales cycles, competitive bid processes, customizing solutions based on specific customer needs and the need to educate customers means that:

 

    There is greater risk of customers deferring, scaling back or cancelling sales as a result of, among other things, their receipt of a competitive proposal, changes in budgets and purchasing priorities or the introduction or anticipated introduction of new or enhanced products by us or our competitors during the process.

 

    We may make a significant investment of time and money in opportunities that do not come to fruition, which investments may not be usable or recoverable in future projects.

 

    We may be required to bid on a project in advance of the completion of its design or be required to begin implementation of a project in advance of finalizing a sale, in either case, increasing the risk of unforeseen technological difficulties or cost overruns.

 

    We face greater downside risks if we do not correctly and efficiently deploy limited personnel and financial resources and convert such sales opportunities into orders.

Additionally, after the completion of a solution sale or the sale of a more sophisticated product in general, our customers may need assistance from us in making full use of the functionality of these solutions or products, in realizing all of their benefits or in implementation generally. If we are unable to assist our customers in realizing the benefits they expect from our solutions and products, demand for our solutions and products may decline and our operating results may suffer.

The extended time frame and uncertainty associated with many of our sales opportunities also make it difficult for us to accurately forecast our revenues (and attendant budgeting and guidance decisions) and increases the volatility of our operating results from period to period.

Our uneven sales patterns could significantly impact our revenues and earnings, which could cause us to miss our forecasts.

Frequently, sales orders accumulate towards the latter part of a given quarter and typically in the final quarter of the calendar year. We believe this seasonality is typical for many companies in our market segment and that it may become more pronounced as the proportion of advanced applications in our overall sales mix continues to increase. Additionally, as a high percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the level of sales, especially at or near the end of any quarter, may have a material adverse impact on our quarterly operating results.

In addition, the timing in which transactions are entered into may shift from one quarter to another. Customers often shift their buying decision towards the end of their budgetary year, which could result in the shifting of booking and revenues from one quarter to another and in many cases to the last quarter of a calendar year, which may also have an adverse impact on the booking and revenues in the quarter during which such transactions were to be entered into.

Our ability to forecast our operating results from quarter to quarter is also impacted by the fact that pricing, margins, and other deal terms may vary substantially from transaction to transaction, especially across business lines. Additionally, because we emphasize larger transactions in our sales strategy, the deferral or loss of one or more significant orders or a delay in a large implementation could materially adversely affect our operating results, especially in a given quarter. We might not meet our expectations or those of industry analysts in a particular future quarter, including as a result of the factors described in these Risk Factors.

Developing and marketing of our commercial applications are subject to risks and uncertainties.

We believe there are potential commercial applications of the technology underlying our products, although we currently do not have specific plans to pursue such commercial application. If, however, we determine to pursue

 

43


Table of Contents

commercial applications of our products, we may be exposed to additional risks related to the sale of our products for commercial use. These risks may include additional regulatory restrictions and a different competitive environment for our products. The marketing of our products for commercial use may also require marketing personnel with skills that are different from those held by our marketing staff. The need to comply with additional regulatory restrictions or hire additional marketing personnel could negatively impact our business or results of operations.

We are dependent on the efforts of contractors for projects in which we serve as subcontractor.

For certain projects, we act as subcontractors and depend on the conduct of and our relationship with general contractors in conducting our business. If one or more of these contractors experience financial or operational difficulties, we could experience an interruption in our operations. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our contractors arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of work performed by us, in which case our operating results could temporarily suffer until such disputes are resolved. Furthermore, disagreements with our contractors could lead to the assertion of rights and remedies under their contracts and increase the cost of the project or result in a contractor’s unwillingness to perform further work on the project. If any contractor is unable or unwilling to perform according to the negotiated terms and timetable of its own agreement for any reason or terminates its agreement, we may be required to be engaged by a substitute contractor in order to continue our work on the project. This would likely result in significant project delays and increased costs.

For certain products components or services, we rely on third-party suppliers, manufacturers and partners, and if these relationships are interrupted we may not be able to obtain substitute suppliers, manufacturers or partners on favorable terms or at all and we may be subject to other adverse effects.

Although we generally use standard parts and components in our products, we do rely on non-affiliated suppliers and OEM partners for certain non-standard products or components which may be critical to our products, including both hardware and software, and on manufacturers of assemblies that are incorporated into our products. We also purchase technology, license intellectual property rights and oversee third-party development and localization of certain products or components, in some cases, by or from companies that may compete with us or work with our competitors. While we endeavor to use larger, more established suppliers, manufacturers and partners wherever possible, in some cases, these providers may be smaller, less established companies, particularly in the case of suppliers of new or unique technologies that we have not developed internally. In addition, in certain cases, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers for some components. If any of these sole-source suppliers fails to meet our needs, we may not have readily available alternatives. Our ability to fill our supply needs could jeopardize our ability to satisfactorily and timely complete our obligations under government and other contracts. If these suppliers, manufacturers or partners experience financial, operational, manufacturing capacity or quality assurance difficulties, cease production and sale of the products we buy from them entirely, or there is any other disruption, including loss of license, OEM or distribution rights, including as a result of the acquisition of a supplier or partner by a competitor, we will be required to locate alternative sources of supply or manufacturing, to internally develop the applicable technologies, to redesign our products and/or to remove certain features from our products, any of which would be likely to increase expenses, create delivery delays and negatively impact our sales. Although we endeavor to put in place contracts with key providers, and attempt to identify redundant suppliers for particular components, we may not be able to enter into such contracts or purchase from redundant suppliers. If we are able to enter into such contracts we may not be successful in obtaining adequate protections, these agreements may be short-term in duration and the counterparties may be unwilling or unable to stand behind such protections. Moreover, these types of contractual protections offer limited practical benefits to us in the event our relationship with a key provider is interrupted. In addition, by utilizing third party suppliers, manufacturers and partners, we run the risks that the reputation and competitiveness of our products and services may deteriorate as a result of the reduction of our control over quality and delivery schedules and the consequent risk that we will experience supply interruptions and be subject to escalating cost; and our competitiveness may be harmed by the failure of our subcontractors to develop, implement or maintain manufacturing methods appropriate for our products and customers.

Table of Contents

Moreover, because most of our contracts are with governments and governmental agencies, we may be limited in the third parties we can engage as component manufacturers due to security clearance requirements.

Further, as suppliers discontinue their products, modify them in manners incompatible with our current use or use manufacturing processes and tools that could not be easily migrated to other vendors, we could have significant delays in product availability, which would have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Although we believe that we can obtain alternative sources of supply in the event our suppliers are unable to meet our requirements in a timely manner, we cannot assure you that our alternative sources of supply would be sufficient to avoid a material interruption or delay in deliveries and in availability of spare parts.

For certain products, we rely on software from third parties. If we lose the right to use that software, we would have to spend additional capital to redesign our existing software to adhere to new third party providers or develop new software.

We integrate and utilize various third party software products as components of our products and solutions to enhance their functionality. Our business could be disrupted if functional versions of these software products were either no longer available to us or no longer made available to us on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, some of our third party vendors use proprietary technology and software code that could require significant redesign of our products in the case of a change in vendor. If we lost the right to use such third party software, we would be required to spend additional capital to either redesign our software to function with alternate third party software or develop these components ourselves. As a result, we might be forced to limit the features available in our current or future products and solutions offerings and the commercial release of our products and solutions could be delayed.

Furthermore, if we were required to or otherwise determined to utilize software components from Israeli sources, Israeli export control law would impose a regulatory burden that may materially affect our business and operations.

If we cannot retain and recruit qualified personnel, our ability to operate and grow our business may be impaired.

We depend on the continued services of our management and employees to run and grow our business. To remain successful and to grow, we need to retain existing employees and attract new employees who understand and/or have experience with our products, services and markets, especially new markets and growth areas we may enter. As we grow, we must also enhance and expand our management team to execute on new and larger agendas and challenges and recruit and retain qualified engineers and project managers to perform research and development in our planned European research and development center and to commercialize our products, as well as qualified personnel to market and sell those products. The market for qualified personnel is competitive in the geographies in which we operate and may be limited especially in areas of emerging technology, and we may be at a competitive disadvantage to companies with greater brand recognition or financial resources in recruiting. An inability to attract and retain highly qualified employees may have an adverse effect on our ability to develop new products and enhancements for existing products and to successfully market such products, all of which would likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. Moreover, if we are not able to properly balance investment in personnel with growth in our business, our profitability may be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully recruit and integrate new employees.

There is often intense competition to recruit highly skilled employees in the technology industry. We may not be able to offer current and potential employees a compensation package that is satisfactory in order to keep them within our employ.

Unpredictable events, including natural disasters, may adversely affect our business.

The occurrence of catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and other catastrophes that adversely affect the business climate in any of our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of our operations are located in areas that have been in the past, and may be in the future, susceptible to such occurrences.

Our employees or other third parties may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements, which could cause significant liability for us and harm our reputation.

We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants or distributors may engage in fraudulent conduct or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to us that violates export control laws or other regulations or manufacturing standards. Furthermore, the protection of our proprietary data and that of our clients is critical to our reputation and the success of our business. Our clients have a high expectation that we will adequately protect their confidential information. If any person, including any of our employees, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to such data or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential data, whether through systems failure, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients.

It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct or negligence by employees and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws, regulations or contractual obligations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.

We are subject to complex, evolving regulatory requirements that may be difficult and expensive to comply with and that could negatively impact our business.

Our business and operations are subject to regulatory requirements in Israel and elsewhere, including, among other things, with respect to government contracts, export control, labor, tax, anti-corruption, data privacy and protection, and communications monitoring and interception. Regulatory requirements are subject to constant change that may have a material impact on our operations. Compliance with these regulatory requirements may be onerous, time-consuming, and expensive, especially where these requirements are inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction or where the jurisdictional reach of certain requirements is not clearly defined or seeks to reach across national borders. Regulatory requirements in one jurisdiction may make it difficult or impossible to do business in another jurisdiction. We may also be unsuccessful in obtaining permits, licenses or other authorizations required to operate our business, such as for the marketing or sale or import or export of our products and services.

We cannot assure you that our methods of and policies for doing business will be adequate for new markets, including the United States or that we will be able to modify such methods or policies in a manner that allows us to enter into specific marketing, including the United States. Violations of applicable laws or regulations may harm our reputation and deter governmental agencies and other existing or potential customers or partners from purchasing our solutions. Furthermore, non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations could result in fines, damages, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, restrictions on the conduct of our business, and damage to our reputation.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by changes in the legal and regulatory environment.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if laws, regulations or standards relating to our business and products, us or our employees (including labor laws and regulations) are newly implemented or changed. Among these laws and regulations, there are requirements in Israel and other territories in relation to import and export controls, data privacy and protection, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, labor, tax and environmental and social issues. While we make every effort to comply with such requirements, we cannot assure you that we will be fully successful in our efforts, and that our business will not be harmed. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could results in fines, damages, civil liability and criminal sanctions against us, our officers and our employees, prohibitions on the conduct of our business and damage to our reputation.

The occurrence of privacy or information security breaches (or the belief that any such breach has occurred) in the operation of our business or by third parties using our products and solutions could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Some of our customers use our products to compile and analyze highly sensitive or confidential information. We may come into contact with such information or data when we perform service or maintenance functions for our customers. The perception or fact that any of our employees has improperly handled sensitive information of a customer or a customer’s end user or consumer could negatively impact our business. If, in handling this information, we fail to comply with privacy legislation or procedures, we could incur civil liability to governmental agencies, customers and individuals whose privacy was compromised. Further, there are growing compliance and regulatory initiatives and changes for governments around the world that are driven by events and concerns such as accounting scandals, security threats and economic conditions.

While we attempt to prepare in advance for these new initiatives and standards, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts, that such changes will not negatively affect the demand for our products and services, or that our competitors will not be more successful or prepared than us. Alternatively, a reduction in the implementation of compliance and regulatory requirements in the industries in which we operate could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We may be limited in our ability to transfer or outsource business to certain jurisdictions, and may be limited in our ability to undertake development activity in certain jurisdictions, which may impede on our efficiency and adversely affect our business results of operations.

Political or public perception factors may adversely affect our business.

We may experience negative publicity or other adverse impacts on our business if we sell our solutions to countries that are considered disfavored by the media or political or social rights organizations even though such transactions may be permissible under applicable law.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in certain countries. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Operations in Israel

Conditions in Israel affect our operations and may limit our ability to produce and sell our products.

Our headquarters is located in the State of Israel. Political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our operations. Since the State of Israel was established in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Although Israel has entered into various agreements with Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, there continues to be unrest and terrorist activity in Israel, which has continued with varying levels of severity, and ongoing hostilities and armed conflicts between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and other groups in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The effects of these hostilities and violence on the Israeli economy and our operations are unclear, and we cannot predict the effect on us of a further increase in these hostilities or any future armed conflict, political instability or violence in the region. We could be harmed by any major hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, boycotts or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel. In the event of war, we and our Israeli aftermarket product subcontractors and suppliers may cease operations, which may cause delays in the distribution and sale of our aftermarket products. In the event that our principal executive office is damaged as a result of hostile action, or hostilities otherwise disrupt the ongoing operation of our offices, our ability to operate could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, since 2011, there has been civil war in Syria and since early 2013, the region has seen the growth of the “Islamic State” and increased internal hostilities in Iraq. The impact of these circumstances on Israel’s relations with its Arab neighbors, in general, or on our operations in the region, in particular, remains uncertain. The establishment of new fundamentalist Islamic regimes or governments more hostile to Israel could have serious consequences for the peace and stability in the region, place additional political, economic and military confines upon Israel, materially adversely affect our operations and limit our ability to sell our products to countries in the region.

Additionally, several countries, principally in the Middle East, still restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries and groups have imposed or may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region continues or increases. These restrictions may limit our ability to obtain manufactured components and raw materials from these countries or sell our products to companies in these countries. Furthermore, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, a global campaign attempting to increase economic and political pressure on Israel to comply with the stated goals of the movement, may gain increased traction and result in a boycott of Israeli products and services. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, or significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to stringent export control regulations.

In recent years the Israeli government has adopted and amended laws and regulations regarding enhanced defense export controls and the export of “dual use” items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market but that may also be used in the defense market). Additionally, many of our suppliers are subject to the “dual use” item export regime pursuant to the Wassenaar Arrangement. Moreover, many of our solutions incorporated encryption technology which is subject to Israeli export control. If government approvals are not obtained, our ability to export our products could be negatively impacted, including revocation of authorizations previously granted, thus causing a reduction in our revenues.

Certain of our activities are in compliance with Israel export control law by virtue of the fact that the section of the law making the law applicable to “brokerage” activities has not been implemented. If the law were to be made applicable to brokerage activities, we would likely be required to obtain additional licenses or modify our method of doing business.

Because many of our contracts and projects are classified for national security reasons, we may not be able to provide important information to the public.

To date, a majority of our revenue has been derived from contracts which are classified by certain governments for national security reasons. Therefore, we are prohibited from filing these contracts as exhibits to our reports, registration statements and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in our press releases. The specific aspects of our technologies are highly sensitive to ongoing military operations, homeland security issues and criminal activity and are largely classified under our customers’ guidelines and, consequently, cannot be disclosed publicly. Such absence of explanation, detail and discussion may prohibit us from providing details that an investor may find meaningful, cause many individuals and investors to question our level of disclosure and discourage potential investors from investing in our securities. Accordingly, investors may not have important information concerning our businesses and operations with which to make an informed investment decision.

Service and enforcement of legal process on us and our directors and officers may be difficult to obtain.

Service of process upon us, our directors and officers who reside outside the United States may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or these individuals or entities may be difficult to collect within the United States. Additionally, it may be difficult to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities law in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters.

Subject to specific time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws, as well as a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that the following conditions are met:

 

    subject to limited exceptions, the judgment is final and non-appealable;

 

    the judgment was given by a court competent under the laws of the state in which the court is located and is otherwise enforceable in such state;

 

    the judgment was rendered by a court competent under the rules of private international law applicable in Israel;

 

    the laws of the state in which the judgment was given provides for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;

 

    adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence;

 

    the judgment and its enforcement are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;

 

    the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; and

 

    an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit was instituted in the U.S. court.

The tax benefits that are available to us under Israeli law require us to meet various conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future, which could increase our costs and taxes.

We are eligible for certain tax benefits provided to “Approved” or “Preferred Enterprises” under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, referred to as the Investment Law. Specifically, the standard corporate tax rate for Israeli companies was 25% in 2012 and 2013 and increased to 26.5% for 2014 and 2015. From 2016 the Israeli corporate tax rate is expected to be reduced to 25%. We expect to benefit from a tax rates of 9% to 16% as a “Preferred Enterprise.” If these tax benefits are not awarded, reduced, cancelled or discontinued, for whatever reason, including lack of compliance with the requirements of the law, our Israeli taxable income would be subject to standard Israeli corporate tax rates and we may be required to refund any tax benefits that we have already received, plus indexation, interest and penalties thereon. Additionally, if we increase our activities outside of Israel through acquisitions, for example, our expanded activities might not be eligible for inclusion in future Israeli tax benefit programs. The Israeli government may furthermore independently determine to reduce, phase out or eliminate entirely the benefit programs under the Investment Law, regardless of whether we then qualify for benefits under those programs at the time, which would also adversely affect our global tax rate and our results of operations.

We will have increased severance obligations to our employees under Israel’s Severance Pay Law.

We are not a party to any collective bargaining or other agreement with any labor organization in Israel. However, certain provisions of collective bargaining agreements between the Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel) and the Coordinating Bureau of Economic Organizations (including the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel) as may be agreed upon from time to time are applicable to our Israeli employees by virtue of expansion orders issued periodically by the Israeli Ministry of Economy.

Under Israeli law, Israeli employees are required to make, and employers are required to pay and withhold, certain payments to the National Insurance Institute (similar, to some extent, to the United States Social Security Administration), on account of social security and health tax payments.

In addition, we are required to maintain employee benefit plans for the benefit of our employees (referred to as the employee benefit plans). Each month, both we and our employees contribute sums to the employee benefit plans. The employee benefit plans provide a combination of savings plan (for pension), insurance and severance pay to the Israeli employees. Some of the sums we contribute monthly to the employee benefit plans are used to satisfy severance pay to which the employees may be entitled under Israeli law.

Our current agreements with employees are in accordance with Section 14 of Israeli’s Severance Pay Law and our monthly contributions for severance pay for such employees are in lieu of our severance liability. Notwithstanding our having deposited these amounts, and having sufficient funds available in each of our existing employee’s severance accounts, as a matter of caution, we have set aside additional reserves for severance pay as follows: As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our financial statements reflect reserves of $105,000 and $155,000, respectively, for potential future obligations to make severance payments to employees (above and beyond the duly deposited amounts in each employee’s fund).

Risks Relating to Reincorporation in Cayman Islands

If we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.

If 75% or more of our gross income in a taxable year, including our pro-rata share of the gross income of any company, U.S. or foreign, in which we are considered to own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the shares by value, is passive income, then we will be a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Alternatively, we will be considered to be a PFIC if at least 50% of our assets in a taxable year, averaged over the year and ordinarily determined based on fair market value and including our pro-rata

 

50


Table of Contents

share of the assets of any company in which we are considered to own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Once treated as a PFIC, for any taxable year, a foreign corporation will generally continue to be treated as PFIC for all subsequent taxable years. If we were to be a PFIC, and a U.S. Holder does not make an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund,” or QEF, or a “mark-to-market” election, “excess distributions” to a U.S. Holder, and any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on a disposition of our ordinary shares, would be taxed in an unfavorable way. Among other consequences, our dividends, to the extent that they constituted excess distributions, would be taxed at the regular rates applicable to ordinary income, rather than the 20% maximum rate applicable to certain dividends received by an individual from a qualified foreign corporation, and certain “interest” charges may apply. In addition, gains on the sale of our shares would be treated in the same way as excess distributions. The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually and it is difficult to make accurate predictions of future income and assets, which are relevant to the determination of PFIC status. In addition, under the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions, it is unclear whether we would be permitted to use a gross loss from sales (sales less cost of goods sold) to offset our passive income in the calculation of gross income. As a result of our substantial cash position, if the value of our operating business assets declines, there is a substantial risk that we will be classified as a PFIC under the asset test described above. There can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Although the Company does not currently anticipate that it will constitute a PFIC, in light of the periodic asset and income tests applicable in making this determination, no assurance can be given that it will not become a PFIC in any year the future. A U.S. Holder who makes a QEF election is taxed currently on such holder’s proportionate share of our earnings. If the IRS determines that we are a PFIC for a year with respect to which we have determined that we were not a PFIC, however, it might be too late for a U.S. Holder to make a timely QEF election, unless the U.S. Holder qualifies under the applicable Treasury regulations to make a retroactive (late) election. U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares during a period when we are a PFIC will be subject to the foregoing rules, even if we cease to be a PFIC, subject to exceptions for U.S. Holders who made a timely QEF or mark-to-market election, or certain other elections. We do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a Qualified Election Fund election. Accordingly, our shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of PFIC rules.

Certain provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may make it difficult for shareholders to change the composition of our board of directors and may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that some shareholders may consider beneficial.

Certain provisions of our amended and restated articles of association may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control if our board of directors determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of Holdco and our shareholders. The provisions in our amended and restated articles of association include, among other things, those that:

 

    authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares and to determine the price and other terms, including preferences and voting rights, of those shares without shareholder approval;

 

    establish advance notice procedures for nominating directors or presenting matters at shareholder meetings; and

 

    limit the persons who may call special meetings of shareholders.

While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate with our board of directors, they could enable the board of directors to hinder or frustrate a transaction that some, or a majority, of the shareholders may believe to be in their best interests and, in that case, may prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management members by making it more difficult for shareholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. For more information, see “ Description of Holdco Securities.”

Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, certain of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors or officers.

Our corporate affairs will be governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are different from under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

Following the consummation of the business combination, Holdco expects to qualify as a “Foreign Private Issuer”, and as such, Holdco would be exempt from the Section 14 Proxy Rules and Section 16 of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act and subject to limited 1934 Securities Exchange Act reporting requirements.

The submission of proxy and annual meeting of shareholder information (prepared to Cayman Islands standards) on Form 6-K as well as more limited periodic reporting requirements than pertain for U. S. issuers may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data. In addition, as a Foreign Private Issuer, Holdco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders would be exempt from Exchange Act Section 16’s short-swing insider

disclosure and profit recovery provisions. The exemption from Section 16 rules regarding sales of common shares by insiders may result in shareholders having less data.

Intellectual Property and Data/Systems Security

Our intellectual property may not be adequately protected.

We believe that many participants in the defense and security industries do not register patents or other intellectual property in the ordinary course of business. In order to safeguard our unpatented proprietary know-how, trade secrets and technology, we rely primarily upon trade secret protection and non-disclosure provisions in agreements with employees and other third parties having access to our confidential information. There can be no assurance that these measures will adequately protect us from improper disclosure or misappropriation of our proprietary information.

Preventing unauthorized use or infringement of our intellectual property rights is difficult even in jurisdictions with well-established legal protections for intellectual property such as the United States. It may be even more difficult to protect our intellectual property in other jurisdictions where legal protections for intellectual property rights are less established. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property against unauthorized third-party use or infringement, our competitive position could be adversely affected.

Our products may infringe or may be alleged to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which could lead to costly disputes or disruptions for us and may require us to indemnify our customers and resellers for any damages they suffer.

The technology industry is characterized by frequent allegations of intellectual property infringement. Any allegation of infringement against us could be time consuming and expensive to defend or resolve, result in substantial diversion of management resources, cause product shipment delays or force us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If patent holders or other holders of intellectual property initiate legal proceedings against us, either with respect to our own intellectual property or intellectual property we license from third parties, we may be forced into protracted and costly litigation, regardless of the merits of these claims. On November 12, 2015, a lawsuit was submitted to the Lod District Court in Israel by a company and an individual, against Ability and its shareholders. The lawsuit amount for registration fee purposes is NIS 5 million ($1,285,000), however the plaintiffs did not specify the demanded compensation amount. The plaintiffs allege that certain of Ability’s products which are designed to intercept and decode encrypted cellular communication networks under the GSM standard, exploit and violate the patented invention, and take advantage of the plaintiffs’ confidential information protected under the terms of a non-disclosure agreement. The plaintiffs allege that such actions constitute patent infringement, violation of the non-disclosure agreement, misappropriation of trade secrets and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs demand to immediately cease the patent infringement as well as to cease from any further use of the claimed technology and further manufacture, export, sale or marketing of the alleged infringing products by Ability and/or its shareholders. Ability believes the allegations in the notice and the lawsuit are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Ability and its legal counsel are of the opinion that it is unable to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings as to their preliminary stage. We may not be successful in defending such litigation, including the pending litigation, in part due to the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation, and may not be able to procure any required royalty or license agreements on terms acceptable to us, or at all. See “Business of Ability — Legal Proceedings.”

Third parties may also assert infringement claims against our customers. Subject to certain limitations, we sometimes indemnify our customers and resellers with respect to infringement by our products of the proprietary rights of third parties, which, in some cases, may not be limited to a specified maximum amount and for which we may not have sufficient insurance coverage or adequate indemnification in the case of intellectual property licensed from a third party. If any of these claims succeed, we may be forced to pay damages, be subject to injunction with respect to the use or sale of certain products, be required to obtain licenses for the products our customers or partners use, which may not be available on reasonable terms, or incur significant expenses in developing non-infringing alternatives.

We face risks relating to our use of certain “open source” software tools.

Certain of our software products contain a limited amount of open source code and we may use more open source code in the future. In addition, certain third party software that we embed in our products contains open source code. Open source code is code that is covered by a license agreement that permits the user to liberally use, copy, modify and distribute the software without cost, provided that users and modifiers abide by certain licensing requirements. The original developers of the open source code provide no warranties on such code.

As a result of our use of open source software, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source code and we may incur expenses in defending claims that we did not abide by the open source code license. In addition, third party licensors do not provide intellectual property protection with respect to the open source components of their products, and therefore we may not be indemnified by such third party licensors in the event that we or our customers are held liable in respect of the open source software contained in such third party software. If we are not successful in defending against any such claims that may arise, we may be subject to injunctions and/or monetary damages or be required to remove the open source code from our products. Such events could disrupt our operations and the sales of our products, which would negatively impact our revenues and cash flow.

Moreover, under certain conditions, the use of open source code to create derivative code may obligate us to make the resulting derivative code available to others at no cost. The circumstances under which our use of open source code would compel us to offer derivative code at no cost are subject to varying interpretations. If we are required to publicly disclose the source code for such derivative products or to license our derivative products that use an open source license, our previously proprietary software products may be available to others without charge. If this happens, our customers and our competitors may have access to our products without cost to them, which could harm our business.

We monitor our use of such open source code to avoid subjecting our products to conditions we do not intend. The use of such open source code, however, may ultimately subject some of our products to unintended conditions so that we are required to take remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts.

The mishandling or the perceived mishandling of sensitive information could harm our business.

Our products are in some cases used by customers to compile and analyze highly sensitive or confidential information and data, including information or data used in intelligence gathering or law enforcement activities. While our customers’ use of our products in no way affords us access to the customer’s sensitive or confidential information or data, we or our partners may receive or come into contact with such information or data, including personally identifiable information, when we are asked to perform services or support functions for our customers. We or our partners may also receive or come into contact with such information or data in connection with the use of our solutions. We have implemented procedures and use information technology systems to help ensure the proper handling of such information and data, including background screening of certain service personnel, non-disclosure agreements with employees and partners, access rules and other controls. However, these measures are designed to mitigate the risks associated with handling or processing sensitive data and cannot safeguard against all risks at all times. The improper handling of sensitive data, or even the perception of such mishandling (whether or not valid), or other security lapses by us or our partners or within our products, could reduce demand for our products or otherwise expose us to financial or reputational harm or legal liability.

We may be subject to information technology system failures or disruptions that could harm our operations, financial condition or reputation.

We rely extensively on information technology systems to operate and manage our business and to process, maintain and safeguard information, including information belonging to our customers, partners, and personnel.

These systems may be subject to failures or disruptions as a result of, among other things, natural disasters, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, new system implementations, acts of terrorism or war, physical security breaches, computer viruses, or other cyber-attacks. Cyber security attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and in many cases may not be identified until a security breach actually occurs. We have experienced cyber-attacks in the past and may experience them in the future, potentially with greater frequency. While we are continually working to maintain secure and reliable systems, our security, redundancy, and business continuity efforts may be ineffective or inadequate. We must continuously improve our design and coordination of security controls across our business groups and geographies. Despite our efforts, it is possible that our security controls and other procedures that we follow may not prevent systems failures or disruptions. Such system failures or disruptions could subject us to research and development or production downtimes, delays in our ability to process orders, delays in our ability to provide products and services to customers, delays or errors in financial reporting, compromise, disclosure, or loss of sensitive or confidential information or intellectual property, destruction or corruption of data, financial losses from remedial actions, theft, liabilities to customers or other third parties, or damage to our reputation. Information system failures at one of our partners may also result in similar adverse consequences.

Any of the foregoing could harm our competitive position, result in a loss of customer confidence and materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Finances and Capital Structure

Our income tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty.

Computations of our taxes on income and withholding obligations are complex because they are based on the laws of numerous taxing jurisdictions. These computations require significant judgment on the application of complicated rules governing accounting for tax provisions under GAAP. The international nature of our structure and operations creates uncertainties. Taxes on income for interim periods are based on a forecast of our preferred Israeli tax rate for the year, which includes forward looking financial projections. Such financial projections are based on numerous assumptions, including the expectations of profit and loss. We may not accurately forecast the various items that comprise the projections.

From time to time, we may be subject to income and other tax audits in Israel, the timings of which are unpredictable. While we believe we comply with applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes. If we are assessed additional taxes, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In recent years, we have seen changes in tax laws resulting in an increase in applicable tax rates, in part stemming from public pressure to increase tax liabilities of corporations and to limit the ability to gain from strategic tax planning, with a focus on international corporations. Such legislative changes in one or more jurisdictions in which we operate may have implications on our tax liability and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In Israel specifically, we have experienced in recent years an increase in corporate tax rate, as well as reduction in favorable tax treatment. Such trend, which is partly attributable to political and public pressure, may continue and may results in a higher effective tax rate, which will negatively impact our results of operation.

Our international operations subject us to currency exchange risk.

We earn revenues, pay expenses, own assets and incur liabilities in countries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the Israeli shekel and euro among others. Because our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, we must translate revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollar functional currencies into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. Therefore,

 

55


Table of Contents

changes in currency exchange rates affect our consolidated operating income. In addition, our net income is further impacted by the revaluation and settlement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, gains or losses on which are recorded within income (expense), net.

Our financial outlooks do not assume fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates subsequent to providing our financial outlooks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our outlooks, which could negatively affect our business.

Our internal controls over financial reporting do not currently meet all of the standards contemplated by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, a material weakness was noted in our financial reporting closing process with respect to cut-off procedures relating to expenses.

We will begin the process of documenting our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 (a), which require an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In the future we may become subject to the requirements of Section 404(b), which would require a report by our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We are in the process of addressing our internal controls over financial reporting and we will establish formal policies, processes and practices related to financial reporting and identify key financial reporting risks, assessment of our potential impact and linkage of those risks to specific areas and activities within our organization.

As a public entity, we will be required to complete our initial assessment in a timely manner. If we are not able to implement and document the necessary policies, processes and controls to mitigate financial reporting risks, we may not be able to comply with the requirements of Sections 404 (a) and (b) in a timely manner or with adequate compliance. Matters impacting our internal controls may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in our company and the reliability of our financial statement. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements could also suffer if we were to report a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us and lead to a decline in the price of our stock.

We will incur increased costs and obligations as a result of being a public company.

As a privately held company, Ability has not been required to comply with certain corporate governance and financial reporting practices and policies required of a publicly traded company. As a publicly traded company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we were not required to incur in the recent past, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act. In addition, new and changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, as well as under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the JOBS Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq have created uncertainty for public companies and increased the costs and the time that our board of directors and management must devote to complying with these rules and regulations. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and lead to a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities.

Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations

as a publicly traded company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a publicly traded company.

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” We may remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years or until such earlier time that we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700.0 million in market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three year period. Further, there is no guarantee that the exemptions available to us under the JOBS Act will result in significant savings. To the extent we choose not to use exemptions from various reporting requirements under the JOBS Act, we will incur additional compliance costs, which may impact earnings.

As an “emerging growth company,” we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” will make our common shares less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to obtain an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active market for our common shares and our share price may be more volatile.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of these accounting standards until they would otherwise apply to private companies. Holdco and Cambridge have irrevocably opted not to take advantage of such extended transition period, and will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Pursuant to the recently enacted JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for so long as we are an “emerging growth company.”

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and generally requires, in the same report, a report by our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, under the recently enacted JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years.

If we do not develop and implement all required accounting practices and policies, we may be unable to provide the financial information required of a U.S. publicly traded company in a timely and reliable manner.

As Ability is a privately held company, we have not been required to adopt all of the financial reporting and disclosure procedures and controls required of a U.S. publicly traded company. We expect that the implementation of all required accounting practices and policies and the hiring of additional financial staff will increase our operating costs and could require significant time and resources from our management and

 

57


Table of Contents

employees. If we fail to develop and maintain effective internal controls and procedures and disclosure procedures and controls, we may be unable to provide financial information and required SEC reports that a U.S. publicly traded company is required to provide in a timely and reliable fashion. Any such delays or deficiencies could penalize us, including by limiting our ability to obtain financing, either in the public capital markets or from private sources and hurt our reputation and could thereby impede our ability to implement our growth strategy. In addition, any such delays or deficiencies could result in our failure to meet the requirements for continued listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.

The price of Holdco ordinary shares may be volatile.

The price of Holdco ordinary shares may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:

 

    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results and those of other public companies in industry;

 

    mergers and strategic alliances in the intelligence gathering and cyber security industries;

 

    market prices and conditions in the intelligence gathering and cyber security markets;

 

    changes in government regulation;

 

    potential or actual military conflicts or acts of terrorism;

 

    the failure of securities analysts to publish research about us, or shortfalls in our operating results compared to levels forecast by securities analysts;

 

    announcements concerning us or our competitors; and

 

    the general state of the securities markets.

These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our operating performance.

Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our common shares.

We currently expect that securities research analysts will establish and publish their own periodic projections for our business. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these securities research analysts. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our share price or trading volume could decline. While we expect research analyst coverage, if no analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price and volume for our common shares could be adversely affected.

Holdco may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of Holdco’s ordinary shares.

Holdco may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future in connection with, among other things, future vessel acquisitions, repayment of outstanding indebtedness or our equity incentive plan, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances.

Holdco’s issuance of additional ordinary shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects:

 

    Holdco’s existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in Holdco will decrease;

 

58


Table of Contents
    the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;

 

    the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding common share may be diminished; and

 

    the market price of Holdco’s common shares may decline.

Risks Related to the Business Combination

Holdco has granted certain veto rights with respect to a private placement of our securities which could prevent us from increasing capital when needed.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, Holdco granted each of Anatoly Hurgin, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Ability, and Alexander Aurovsky, Chief Technology Officer and a director of Ability, the right during the two year period following the closing of the merger to veto a private placement of Holdco’s ordinary shares (i) being sold to any persons or entities which were holders of Cambridge capital stock on the closing date of the merger or (ii) that would result in a number of ordinary shares being issued equal to or in excess of 20% of the then outstanding ordinary shares of Holdco (based on pre-money valuation), except if any such private placement is then allowable under the Israeli Tax Authority rulings. Each of Messrs. Hurgin and Aurovsky may exercise their veto right in their sole and absolute discretion and they will likely have interests different that Holdco which could result in their prohibiting Holdco from completing a private placement that would be beneficial to Holdco. If either of Messrs. Hurgin or Aurovsky were to prohibit Holdco from completing a private placement at a time when Holdco requires funds. Holdco’s cash flows and operations could be mutually adversely affected and Holdco could be prohibited from completing an acquisition, repaying indebtedness, expanding its operations or taking other actions contemplated at such time.

Future resales of the ordinary shares of Holdco issued to the Ability shareholders may cause the market price of Holdco’s securities to drop significantly, even if Holdco’s business is doing well.

Under the merger agreement, the Ability shareholders will receive, among other things, an aggregate of: (i) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (ii) $18,150,000 in cash; and (iii) an additional number of ordinary shares to be issued upon and subject to Ability achieving certain net income targets, subject to reallocation of certain of these shares to Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. and Eyal Tzur as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Ability shareholders will be restricted from selling any of the Holdco shares that they receive as a result of the share exchange during the twenty four month period after the closing date of the business combination, subject to certain exceptions, and the Ability shareholders will be required to enter into lock-up agreements to such effect. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Sale Restriction; Resale Registration .” Unlike the Ability shareholders, since there are no contractual lock-up restrictions on the (i) 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco being issued to Eyal Tzur as a portion of the consideration he will receive in exchange for the sale of his shares in Ability Security Systems Ltd. and up 253,500 ordinary shares Eyal Tzur may receive upon Ability achieving certain net income targets as set forth in the merger agreement and described herein and (ii) 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco being issued to Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. as a portion of its fees in connection with the business combination and up to 253,500 ordinary shares which it may receive upon Ability achieving certain net income targets as set forth in the merger agreement and described herein, these shares may be freely sold immediately upon closing of the business combination (or upon receipt in the case of the net income target shares).

The Ability shareholders may sell Holdco shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available. In these cases, the resales must meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, including, because Cambridge and Holdco are currently shell companies, waiting until one year after Holdco’s filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K containing Form 10 type information reflecting the merger with Ability.

Upon expiration of the applicable lock-up periods, and upon effectiveness of the registration statement Holdco files pursuant to the registration rights agreement or upon satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 144 under the

 

59


Table of Contents

Securities Act, the Ability shareholders may sell large amounts of Holdco shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in Holdco’s stock price or putting significant downward pressure on the price of Holdco’s stock.

If Cambridge stockholders fail to properly demand conversion rights, they will not be entitled to convert their shares of common stock of Cambridge into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

Cambridge stockholders holding public shares may demand that Cambridge convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the business combination. Cambridge stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right must deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to Cambridge’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. Any Cambridge stockholder who fails to properly demand conversion rights will not be entitled to convert his or her shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account for conversion of his shares. See the section entitled “ Special Meeting of Cambridge Stockholders — Conversion Rights ” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares to cash.

Public stockholders, together with any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the public shares.

A public stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if you hold more than 20% of the public shares and the merger proposal is approved, you will not be able to seek conversion rights with respect to the full amount of your shares and may be forced to hold the shares in excess of 20% or sell them in the open market. Cambridge cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following a business combination or that the market price of Cambridge’s shares of common stock will exceed the per-share conversion price.

Nasdaq may not list Holdco’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Holdco’s securities and subject Holdco to additional trading restrictions.

Holdco intends to apply to have its securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the business combination. Holdco will be required to meet the initial listing requirements to be listed. Holdco may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if Holdco’s securities are so listed, Holdco may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If Holdco fails to meet the initial listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange, Holdco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

    a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

 

    a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the company; and

 

    a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Holdco’s ability to request indemnification from Ability shareholders for damages arising out of the business combination are limited in certain instances to those claims where damages exceed $1,500,000, does not apply to a certain existing, identified litigation, and is also limited to the shares placed in escrow.

At the closing of the business combination, 948,515 of the Holdco shares issuable to the Ability shareholders will be deposited in escrow to provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Ability and its shareholders, and for certain other indemnifiable matters. Claims for indemnification may only be asserted by Holdco once the damages exceed a $1,500,000 deductible, in which event the amount payable shall

 

60


Table of Contents

be the amount in excess of the deductible. Accordingly, it is possible that Holdco will not be entitled to indemnification even if Ability is found to have breached certain of its representations and warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement if such breaches would only result in damages to Holdco of less than $1,500,000. Also, the aggregate liability for damages is limited to the shares placed in escrow until one year from the closing date of the merger. At such time, 50% of the escrow shares will be released from the escrow to the Ability shareholders, less amounts previously applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to indemnification claims, if any, that are made prior to that date. Thereafter, until the second year from the closing date of the merger, it may only make claims with respect to breaches of Ability’s representations and warranties related to environmental matters and its recovery will be limited to the remaining shares held in escrow. Claims Holdco makes with respect to any breaches of representations and warranties relating to Ability shareholders’ title to their Ability capital stock or the outstanding capitalization of Ability or with respect to certain other indemnifiable matters will survive without limitation as to time. Under the terms of the merger agreement, there is no right to seek indemnification with respect to the action described herein under “ Business of Ability — Legal Proceedings .” As described under “Legal Proceedings,” in November 2015, a lawsuit was submitted to the Lod District Court in Israel by a company and an individual, against Ability and its shareholders alleging that certain of Ability’s key intellectual property infringes on the intellectual property rights of the plaintiffs. No specific amount of damages is cited in the lawsuit, but if Ability is found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights, the liabilities could be substantial. Further, the lawsuit seeks an order or injunction against Ability to force Ability to cease use of the claimed technology. Although Ability advises that the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit, if this proves not to be the case, liability could be substantial and the loss of the right to use the intellectual property in question could have a material adverse effect on the operations of Ability, including potentially the need to cease operations. The merger agreement does not provide for any specific indemnification with respect to this lawsuit nor is this lawsuit excepted from the general indemnification deductible (i.e., the amount of liability that must be incurred before the Ability shareholders are obligated to provide indemnification). Further, the liability incurred by Ability in connection with the lawsuit could substantially exceed the amount of indemnification available under the merger agreement.

Cambridge’s current directors and executive officers own shares of common stock and warrants that will be worthless and have made loans and incurred reimbursable expenses that may not be reimbursed or repaid if the business combination is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the business combination with Ability.

Cambridge’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates beneficially own or have a pecuniary interest in insider shares and private units that they purchased prior to, or simultaneously with, Cambridge’s initial public offering. Cambridge’s executive officers and directors and their affiliates have no redemption rights with respect to these securities in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period. Therefore, if the business combination with Ability or another business combination is not approved within the required time period, such securities held by such persons will be worthless. Such securities had an aggregate market value of $4,262,977 based upon the closing prices of the shares and units on Nasdaq on November 24, 2015, the record date. Furthermore, Cambridge’s officers have loaned Cambridge an aggregate of $350,000 as of the record date and Cambridge’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Cambridge’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. These loans and expenses will be repaid upon completion of the business combination with Ability. However, if Cambridge fails to consummate the business combination, they will not have any claim against the trust account for repayment or reimbursement. Accordingly, Cambridge may not be able to repay or reimburse these amounts if the business combination is not completed. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Interests of Cambridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination .”

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of Cambridge’s directors to approve the business combination with Ability and to continue to pursue such business combination. In considering the recommendations of Cambridge’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposal and other proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests.

 

61


Table of Contents

Cambridge’s executive officers are liable to ensure that proceeds of the trust are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the business combination is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced his decision to approve the business combination with Ability.

If the business combination with Ability or another business combination is not consummated by Cambridge within the required time period, Cambridge’s executive officers will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Cambridge for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Cambridge, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver agreement. If Cambridge consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Cambridge will be liable for all such claims. Neither Cambridge nor the executive officers have any reason to believe that the executive officers will not be able to fulfill his indemnity obligations to Cambridge. See the section entitled “ Other Information Related to Cambridge — Financial Condition and Liquidity ” for further information.

These personal obligations of the executive officers may have influenced Cambridge’s board of director’s decision to approve the business combination with Ability and to continue to pursue such business combination. In considering the recommendations of Cambridge’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposal and other proposals, Cambridge’s stockholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of Cambridge’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the business combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the business combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Cambridge’s stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the closing of the business combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the merger agreement, would require Cambridge to agree to amend the merger agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Ability or to waive rights that Cambridge is entitled to under the merger agreement. Such events have arisen and could continue to arise because of changes in the course of Ability’s business, a request by Ability to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the merger agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Ability’s business and would entitle Cambridge to terminate the merger agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Cambridge’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or they may believe is best for Cambridge and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Cambridge does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Cambridge’s directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the merger proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, Cambridge will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Cambridge’s stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the merger proposal.

If Cambridge is unable to complete the business combination with Ability or another business combination by December 23, 2015, Cambridge will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Cambridge and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.10 per share.

Under the terms of Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Cambridge must complete the business combination with Ability or another business combination by December 23, 2015, or Cambridge must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In

 

62


Table of Contents

such event, third parties may bring claims against Cambridge. Although Cambridge has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Cambridge’s public stockholders. If Cambridge is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the executive officers have agreed they will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Cambridge for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Cambridge, but only if such a vendor or prospective target business does not execute such a waiver. However, he may not be able to meet such obligation. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than $10.10 due to such claims.

Additionally, if Cambridge is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, or if Cambridge otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, Cambridge may not be able to return to its public stockholders at least $10.10.

Cambridge’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Cambridge to the extent of distributions received by them.

If Cambridge is unable to complete the business combination with Ability or another business combination within the required time period, Cambridge will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Cambridge cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against Cambridge. As such, Cambridge’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, Cambridge cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its stockholders amounts owed to them by Cambridge.

If Cambridge is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/ creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Cambridge’s stockholders. Furthermore, because Cambridge intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public stockholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, Cambridge’s board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and the company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Cambridge cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

Activities taken by existing Cambridge stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the merger proposal and other proposals could have a depressive effect on Cambridge’s stock.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Cambridge or its securities, Cambridge’s initial stockholders, officers, directors, Ability or Ability’s shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Cambridge common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to consummate the business combination where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Cambridge common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

Risks If the Adjournment Proposal Is Not Approved

If the adjournment proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the business combination, Cambridge’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the business combination will not be approved.

Cambridge’s board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates if, at the special meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve the consummation of the business combination. If the adjournment proposal is not approved, Cambridge’s board will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the consummation of the business combination. In such event, the business combination would not be completed.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Cambridge believes that some of the information in this proxy statement/prospectus constitutes forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

 

    discuss future expectations;

 

    contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

 

    state other “forward-looking” information.

Cambridge believes it is important to communicate its expectations to its securityholders. However, there may be events in the future that Cambridge is not able to predict accurately or over which it has no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by Cambridge or Ability in such forward-looking statements, including among other things:

 

    the number and percentage of its public stockholders voting against the merger proposal and/or seeking conversion;

 

    the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement;

 

    the ability to maintain the listing of Holdco’s securities on Nasdaq following the business combination;

 

    changes adversely affecting the business in which Ability is engaged;

 

    management of growth;

 

    general economic conditions;

 

    Ability’s business strategy and plans; and

 

    the result of future financing efforts.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to any of Cambridge, Ability or any person acting on either party’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, Cambridge and Ability undertake no obligations to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Before a stockholder grants its proxy or instructs how its vote should be cast or vote on the merger proposal, charter proposals, incentive compensation plan proposal or the adjournment proposal, it should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “ Risk Factors ” section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may adversely affect Cambridge and/or Ability.

SPECIAL MEETING OF CAMBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS

General

Cambridge is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to Cambridge’s stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by Cambridge’s board of directors for use at the special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of Cambridge stockholders to be held on December 22, 2015, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus provides Cambridge’s stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting of stockholders will be held on December 22, 2015, at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Cambridge’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10174.

Purpose of the Cambridge Special Meeting

At the special meeting, Cambridge is asking holders of Cambridge common stock to:

 

    consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement and approve the business combination contemplated by the merger agreement (merger proposal);

 

    consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Cambridge’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Ability Inc.” as opposed to “Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation”; (ii) Holdco has 200,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Cambridge having 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Cambridge’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Cambridge within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains (charter proposals);

 

    consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (incentive compensation plan proposal); and

 

    consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that, based upon the tabulated votes at the time of the special meeting, Cambridge would not have been authorized to consummate the business combination (adjournment proposal).

Recommendation of Cambridge Board of Directors

Cambridge’s board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Cambridge and its stockholders; has unanimously approved the merger proposal; unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal; unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” each of the charter proposals; “FOR” the incentive compensation plan proposal; and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” an adjournment proposal if one is presented to the meeting.

Record Date; Persons Entitled to Vote

Cambridge has fixed the close of business on November 24, 2015, as the “record date” for determining Cambridge stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of

 

66


Table of Contents

business on November 24, 2015, there were 10,534,625 shares of Cambridge common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Cambridge common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Pursuant to agreements with Cambridge, the 2,012,500 initial shares held by the initial stockholders, the shares included in the 472,125 private units held by the initial stockholders and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket by such stockholders, will be voted in favor of the merger proposal. Such holders have indicated they intend to vote their shares in favor of the other proposals presented at the special meeting.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of all the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to Cambridge but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. The latter will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If a stockholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the merger proposal and the charter proposals.

Vote Required

The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the merger proposal. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on the merger proposal. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the merger proposal.

The charter proposals and incentive compensation plan proposal will each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Cambridge common stock outstanding on the record date. Because each of these proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding for approval, abstentions and shares not entitled to vote because of a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against these proposals.

The approval of the adjournment proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Cambridge common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on such proposals. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against either proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed entitled to vote on such proposals and, therefore, they will have no effect on the vote on such proposals.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of Cambridge common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Cambridge common stock that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your shares of Cambridge common stock at the special meeting:

 

   

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card . If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy

Table of Contents
 

card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Cambridge’s board “FOR” the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal, if presented. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

 

    You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person . You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Cambridge can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a stockholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

 

    you may send another proxy card with a later date;

 

    you may notify Mitchell Gordon, Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer, in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

 

    you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a stockholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of Cambridge common stock, you may call Morrow & Co., Cambridge’s proxy solicitor, at 800-662-5200 or Mitchell Gordon, Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer, at 212-557-9300.

Conversion Rights

Holders of public shares may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the merger proposal. Any stockholder holding public shares as of the record date who votes in favor of or against the merger proposal may demand that Cambridge convert such shares into a full pro rata portion of the trust account (which was $10.10 per share as of November 24, 2015, the record date), calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the business combination. If you fail to affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal, including as a result of an abstention or broker non-vote, you will not be permitted to exercise your conversion rights. If a holder properly seeks conversion as described in this section and the business combination is consummated, Cambridge will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the business combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the shares of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public stockholder will not be converted to cash.

Cambridge’s initial stockholders will not have conversion rights with respect to any shares of common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.

Cambridge stockholders who seek to convert their public shares must affirmatively vote for or against the merger proposal. Cambridge stockholders who do not vote with respect to the merger proposal, including as a result of an abstention or a broker non-vote, may not convert their shares into cash. Holders may demand conversion by (A) either checking the box on their proxy card or by submitting their request in writing to Mitchell Gordon, Cambridge’s Chief Financial Officer and (B) delivering their stock, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Cambridge’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated

 

68


Table of Contents

or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be converted into cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the converting stockholder. In the event the proposed business combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.

Any request to convert such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the merger proposal. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its conversion and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

If the business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Cambridge’s public stockholders who elected to exercise their conversion rights will not be entitled to convert their shares into a full pro rata portion of the trust account, as applicable. Cambridge will thereafter promptly return any shares delivered by public holders. In such case, holders may only share in the assets of the trust account upon the liquidation of Cambridge. This may result in holders receiving less than they would have received if the business combination was completed and they had exercised conversion in connection therewith due to potential claims of creditors. If Cambridge would be left with less than $5 million of net tangible assets as a result of the holders of public shares properly demanding conversion of their shares, Cambridge will not be able to consummate the business combination.

The closing price of Cambridge common stock on November 24, 2015 was $10.08. The cash held in the trust account on such date was $81,311,892.63 ($10.10 per public share) (which included $6,892.63 of accumulated interest which Cambridge withdrew subsequent to such date for its working capital needs pursuant to the investment management trust agreement governing the trust account). Prior to exercising conversion rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Cambridge common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price. Cambridge cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Cambridge common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of public shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Cambridge common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you affirmatively vote for or against the merger proposal, properly demand conversion no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposal, and deliver your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to Cambridge’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting, and the business combination is consummated.

Appraisal Rights

Neither stockholders, unitholders nor warrantholders of Cambridge have appraisal rights in connection the business combination under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Cambridge is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Cambridge and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Cambridge will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Cambridge has hired Morrow & Co. to assist in the proxy solicitation process.

 

69


Table of Contents

Cambridge will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Cambridge will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Cambridge Initial Stockholders

As of November 24, 2015, the record date, Cambridge’s initial stockholders – The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, Mitchell Gordon, Michael Durham, Gantcher Family Limited Partnership, Scott Laurans, Sidney Brown, David Brodsky, Herb Shear, Bob Hammel, Jonathan Morris, Elliott Brodsky, Alex 2012 Trust, Ramon Suazo, Raymond Avon Ventures, LLC and Jonathan Meeks – beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,012,500 initial shares that were issued prior to Cambridge’s initial public offering. These individuals and entities (along with EarlyBirdCapital) also purchased an aggregate of 472,125 private units simultaneously with the consummation of Cambridge’s initial public offering. The shares included in these securities currently constitute approximately 23.6% of the outstanding shares of Cambridge’s common stock. In connection with the initial public offering, the holders of these securities agreed to vote the initial shares, the shares included in the private units as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of the merger proposal. The Cambridge initial stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The initial shares and private units have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Cambridge.

Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge’s chief executive officer, purchased an aggregate of 5,000 shares of common stock in open market transactions at then prevailing market prices. No other directors or officers of Cambridge have purchased any securities of Cambridge in any open market transactions. All of the 5,000 shares purchased by Benjamin Gordon in open market transactions will treated as outstanding public securities of Cambridge for purposes of redemption and liquidation in the event the business combination is not consummated.

In connection with the initial public offering, the Cambridge initial stockholders entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which their initial shares are held in escrow and may not be transferred (subject to limited exceptions) until with respect to 50% of the initial shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of Cambridge’s common stock exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of an initial business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the initial shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to the initial business combination, Cambridge consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

The Ability shareholders and The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, a trust for the benefit of the family of Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge’s chief executive officer, will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the business combination (subject to limited exceptions) until the second anniversary of the closing of the merger agreement. Each Ability shareholder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to exchanging their capital stock of Ability for the merger consideration. As a condition to the closing of the merger agreement, The Gordon Family 2007 Trust will be required to enter into a similar lock-up agreement.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Cambridge or its securities, the Cambridge initial stockholders, Ability or Ability’s shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Cambridge’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of

 

70


Table of Contents

satisfaction of the requirements to complete the business combination where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Cambridge initial stockholders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Cambridge common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the business combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposal and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Cambridge will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal or the net tangible asset threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

THE MERGER PROPOSAL

The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus of the business combination and the principal terms of the merger agreement is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the merger agreement. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Structure of the Transaction

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Cambridge will be merged with and into Holdco in the redomestication merger, with Holdco surviving as the public company and immediately following the redomestication merger, the Ability shareholders will engage in the share exchange pursuant to which they will exchange 100% of the ordinary shares of Ability for ordinary shares of Holdco, including the right to receive certain net income shares described below.

Upon consummation of the redomestication merger,

 

    each share of Cambridge common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except that holders of public shares shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Cambridge’s trust account, as provided in Cambridge’s constitutional documents; and

 

    each Cambridge warrantholder will be entitled to purchase one ordinary share of Holdco in lieu of one share of Cambridge common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share.

Upon consummation of the share exchange, the Ability shareholders, in exchange for all of the capital stock of Ability outstanding immediately prior to the share exchange, will receive from Holdco:

 

    17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco;

 

    $18,150,000 in cash; and

 

    an additional number of net income shares to be issued upon and subject to Ability achieving certain net income target, as described below.

Net Income Shares

The Ability shareholders will be entitled to receive additional payments of Holdco ordinary shares based on Ability’s achievement of specified net income targets in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The following table sets forth the net income targets and the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Ability shareholders upon the achievement of such targets:

 

Year ending December 31,

   Net
Income Target
     Number of
Holdco Shares
 

2015

   $ 27,000,000         3,600,000   

2016

   $ 40,000,000         1,850,000   

2017

   $ 60,000,000         2,000,000   

2018

   $ 80,000,000         1,000,000   

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the net income target for any fiscal year but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the net income target for such fiscal year, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in the aggregate, such number of Holdco shares equal to the product obtained by (x) the number of Holdco shares that would have been issued to the Ability Shareholders had the net income target been achieved multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by (A) the net income for such fiscal year divided by (B) the net income target for such fiscal year. For illustration, if the net Income for the 2015 fiscal year equals $24,300,000, the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Ability Shareholders for the 2015 net income target shall equal 3,240,000 Holdco shares.

 

72


Table of Contents

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but satisfies the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the Holdco shares required to be issued by Holdco as a result of Holdco achieving the 2016 net income target, the Holdco shares relating to the net income target. In addition, (i) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2015 net income target and net income for 2016 is a higher percentage of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata Holdco shares required to be issued for the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the difference between the percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income Target and the Net Income for 2015 as compared to the 2015 Net Income target, or (ii) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target and net income for such fiscal year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the 2015 net income target but net income for 2016 is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata of the Holdco shares relating to the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the same percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income target.

Allocation of Certain Shares

An aggregate of 960,000 of the ordinary shares otherwise issuable to the Ability shareholders upon consummation of the share exchange shall instead be (i) issued to Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd (480,000 shares), as a portion of its fees in connection with the business and (ii) placed into escrow (480,000 shares) for issuance to Eyal Tzur upon exercise of the put or call rights relating to ASM. In addition, to the extent any ordinary shares are issuable to the Ability shareholders upon Ability’s achievement of the above-described net income targets, 3% of such shares shall be issuable to each of (i) Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. as an additional portion of its fee in connection with the business combination and (ii) Mr. Tzur as further consideration for the exercise of the put or call rights related to ASM. Accordingly, the number of ordinary shares issuable to the Ability shareholders in the business combination shall be reduced ratably between the two Ability shareholders by the total number of ordinary shares issuable to Mr. Tzur and Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. Unlike the Ability shareholders, since there are no contractual lock-up restrictions on the ordinary shares of Holdco being issued to Eyal Tzur and Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. as set forth in the merger agreement and described herein, such shares may be freely sold immediately upon closing of the business combination (or upon receipt in the case of the net income target shares).

JV Share Purchase Agreement

Ability Security Systems Ltd. (“ASM”), wholly owned by Mr. Tzur, has a joint venture agreement with Ability. ASM is registered with the Israeli Defense Export Control Agency (“DECA”) as a certified exporter, with knowledge and experience related to Israeli Export Control procedures, and Israeli defense and homeland security products. Through the joint venture agreement ASM is an integral part of Ability’s business based on a mutually beneficial commercial relationship utilizing the parties’ complementary skills, commercial connections, experience and capabilities in pursuing business opportunities in the field of DECA controlled products, whereby Ability contributes the substantial business efforts and ASM is responsible mainly for the regulated aspects and contract management. Accordingly, to ensure that all of Ability’s operations are bounded legally under Holdco of the merger agreement, Cambridge, Holdco, Ability, the Ability shareholders, ASM and Mr. Tzur have entered into the JV share purchase agreement pursuant to which (a) promptly following the closing of the business combination, Holdco or another entity designated by Holdco shall purchase 16 shares, or 16%, of the outstanding shares of ASM for $900,000 cash and (b) Mr. Tzur shall have the right to put all, but not less than all, of the remaining outstanding shares and any other equity of ASM to Holdco (or its designated entity) in a single transaction during the 14-month period immediately following the consummation of the business combination in exchange for 480,000 ordinary shares of Holdco that are otherwise issuable to the Ability shareholders in the business combination. All of these 480,000 ordinary shares shall be “freely tradable,” meaning such shares will not be subject to any lock-up or other restrictions, except as prescribed by applicable law, plus 3% of any earn out consideration (i.e., the net income shares) that may otherwise become payable to Ability shareholders under

the terms of the merger agreement following consummation of the business combination. If the put right is not exercised by Mr. Tzur, then, Holdco shall have the right, exercisable during the 90 days immediately following the foregoing put right period, to call all but not less than all of the remaining shares of ASM in a single transaction in exchange for the foregoing consideration, less a discount of 10%. The parties have entered into the JV purchase escrow agreement pursuant to which all of the shares of ASM, other than those purchased at the closing of the business combination, shall be placed in escrow to secure the obligations of Mr. Tzur under the terms of the JV share purchase agreement prior to exercise of the put or call rights thereunder. In addition, the parties have entered into other escrow agreements with respect to the ordinary shares of Holdco issuable to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of the put or call rights, including an agreement under which (a) all of the up to 480,000 ordinary shares that may be issued to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of such rights are placed in escrow at the closing of the business combination, and (b) 5% of any such ordinary shares issued to Mr. Tzur upon exercise of the put or call right are held in escrow for not less than one year following closing of the put or call right to secure his indemnification obligations under the JV share purchase agreement.

Name; Headquarters; Stock Symbols

After completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement:

 

    the name of Holdco will be “Ability Inc.”;

 

    the corporate headquarters and principal executive offices of Holdco will be located at Yad Harutzim 14, Tel Aviv, Israel, 6770007, which are Ability’s current corporate headquarters; and

 

    if Holdco’s applications for listing are approved, Holdco’s ordinary shares and warrants will be traded on Nasdaq under the symbols ABIL and ABILW, respectively, and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Indemnification of Holdco

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Ability and its shareholders, and for certain other indemnifiable matters, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) 948,515 ordinary shares of Holdco, representing an amount equal to 5% of the of the total consideration due to the Ability shareholders at closing (“Indemnity Escrow Fund”). The shares to be placed in escrow will be allocated among the Ability shareholders pro rata in proportion to their ownership interest in Ability immediately prior to the closing of the merger. A copy of the escrow agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E .

Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the Indemnity Escrow Fund by Holdco once its damages exceed a $1,500,000 deductible, in which event the amount payable shall be the amount in excess of the deductible, except that the deductible will not apply to claims made with respect to representations and warranties relating to the Ability shareholders’ title to the Ability ordinary shares and preferred stock, the outstanding capitalization of Ability, or to claims made with respect to certain other indemnifiable matters. On the date (the “Basic Escrow Termination Date”) that is one year after the closing of the business combination, the escrow agent will release 50% of the original number of escrow shares, less amounts previously applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to indemnification claims that are made prior to that date. The remaining escrow shares will be released on the date that is the earlier of (x) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the closing of the business combination, and (y) the thirtieth (30 th ) day following the filing by Holdco of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016 with the SEC. The aggregate liability for indemnifiable losses shall not exceed the original number of escrow shares in the case of all indemnifiable claims made after the Basic Escrow Termination Date. Holdco will have no claim against the Ability shareholders at closing other than against the Indemnity Escrow Fund. Other than with respect to actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, Holdco’s rights to indemnification will be its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to the merger agreement.

Sale Restriction

The Ability shareholders and The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, a trust for the benefit of the family of Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge’s chief executive officer, will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the business combination (subject to limited exceptions) until the second anniversary of the closing of the merger agreement. Each Ability shareholder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to exchanging their capital stock of Ability for the merger consideration. As a condition to the closing of the merger agreement, The Gordon Family 2007 Trust will be required to enter into a similar lock-up.

Put Rights

Under the merger agreement, each of the Ability shareholders shall have the right exercisable on one occasion during the 60-day period immediately following the second anniversary of the end of the full fiscal year in which the consummation of the business combination occurred, referred to as the put option exercise period, to put to Holdco all or a portion of his pro rata portion of 1,173,267 ordinary shares he receives in the share exchange for an amount in cash equal to (1)(x) the number of shares being put multiplied by (y) $10.10 per share plus (2) his pro rata portion of interest, if any, and subject to the pre-ruling granted by the Israel Tax Authority, as generated in the put option escrow (as herein defined). At closing of the business combination, $11,850,000 shall be deposited into an escrow account, referred to as the put option escrow, by Holdco to fund the payment of the purchase price for the put if it is exercised. Such a put option shall be exercised by way of a repurchase of shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. During the put option exercise period, the holders of the put may sell all or a portion of their shares if they are not then legally or contractually prohibited from doing so.

Background of the Business Combination

On December 23, 2013, Cambridge closed its initial public offering of 7,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant to acquire one share of its common stock at a price of $11.50. On December 30, 2013, Cambridge consummated the sale of an additional 1,050,000 units which were subject to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of its initial public offering. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $80,500,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, Cambridge consummated the private sale of 472,125 units to its initial stockholders and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees, in each case at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $4,721,250.

Of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and private placement, an aggregate of $81,305,000 (or approximately $10.10 per share) was placed in the trust fund and held as cash or invested in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Such funds will not be released (subject to certain exceptions) until the earlier of (i) the consummation of Cambridge’s initial business combination or (ii) Cambridge’s failure to consummate an initial business combination within the prescribed time. If Cambridge does not consummate the business combination with Ability or another business combination by December 23, 2015, it must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating.

Promptly following Cambridge’s initial public offering, Cambridge commenced consideration of potential target businesses with the objective of consummating a business combination. Cambridge sought out potential target businesses based on internal research and through the networks of relationships of Cambridge’s management, board of directors and with professional service providers (lawyers, accountants, consultants, finders and investment bankers). Cambridge educated these parties on its structure as a special purpose acquisition company

Table of Contents

and its criteria for an acquisition. Cambridge also responded to inquiries from investment bankers or other similar professionals who represented companies engaged in a sale or financing process. On a regular basis, Cambridge’s directors were updated with respect to the status of the business combination search. Input received from Cambridge’s directors was material to Cambridge’s management’s evaluation of a potential business combination.

Although Cambridge’s focus in searching for a target business was in the supply chain industry, with an emphasis on target businesses that operated in the traditional transportation and logistics end of the supply chain industry, Cambridge was not limited to that industry and was permitted to choose a target business in any industry or geographic region that it felt provided its stockholders with the greatest opportunity to participate in a company with significant growth potential. Accordingly, it regularly analyzed investment opportunities that were outside the supply chain industry in an effort to locate the best potential business combination opportunity for its stockholders.

In reviewing potential business combination targets, Cambridge used the same criteria used in evaluating the business combination with Ability, which included the opportunity to grow revenues through organic growth and acquisitions, the potential for strong free cash flow generation, the experience and motivation of the management team and the competitive position of the target and its industry’s dynamics.

Cambridge narrowed its focus based on the interest expressed by potential targets and the suitability of each potential target as a potential acquisition.

Based on Cambridge’s screening efforts and criteria evaluation, companies were determined as appropriate targets to advance to the next phase of the selection process. Non-disclosure agreements (and trust waivers) were signed with approximately twelve of these potential targets, all of which were companies operating in the transportation and logistics end of the supply chain industry, and preliminary discussions were initiated with these potential targets which included warehousing and distribution, freight forwarding, consumer distribution, short line railroad and building supply distribution companies, among others. From this universe of potential targets, several companies were further pursued.

Of these companies, two were provided with a preliminary letter of intent: In March 2014, Cambridge met the management team of a distribution company which was pursuing a potential strategic transaction. In April 2014, Cambridge submitted an indication of interest to acquire the company through a merger. On May 22, 2014, after conducting due diligence on the company, Cambridge presented it with a refined proposal, which expressed Cambridge’s interest in pursuing a merger and detailed the types of consideration payable. In June 2014, Cambridge and its advisors met with the company and its advisors at the company’s headquarters to discuss a possible transaction. Cambridge also conducted further due diligence on the company. On July 2, 2014, Cambridge provided this company with a more detailed proposal, which provided specific cash and stock based consideration to be paid. Subsequently, Cambridge was informed that the company had decided not to engage in a strategic transaction at this time.

Also in March 2014, Cambridge met the management team of Parakou Tankers, Inc. (“Parakou”) and conducted due diligence over a term of months. On December 1, 2014, Cambridge entered into a merger agreement with Parakou. On March 30, 2014 Cambridge mailed a proxy statement/prospectus to the Cambridge stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014, by and among Cambridge, Holdco, Cambridge Merger Sub, Inc., Holdco’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), Parakou, and Mr. Por Liu, a securityholder of Parakou, which, among other things, provided for the mergers of (a) Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving the merger, and (b) Merger Sub with and into Parakou, with Parakou surviving the merger and becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco. A condition of the proposed transaction was that Cambridge have a certain amount of cash on hand after giving effect to payment of amounts that Cambridge would be required to pay to converting stockholders upon consummation of the proposed transaction. Based on investor feedback leading up to the special meeting of stockholders called to approve the proposed transaction, it did not appear that this condition would be met. As a result, on May 6, 2015, Cambridge, Holdco, Parakou and Mr. Por Liu mutually agreed to terminate the proposed business combination between the parties by means of a Termination Agreement.

Immediately upon the termination of the agreement with Parakou, Cambridge commenced discussions with other potential merger partners. This included restarting conversations with companies Cambridge had previously identified as potential targets and began speaking with newly identified targets, such as Ability.

Cambridge was introduced to Ability following the termination of the agreement with Parakou through EarlyBirdCapital and Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd., who had a multi-year relationship with Ability and therefore had strong knowledge of its business and operations. Even though Ability didn’t operate in the supply chain industry, EarlyBirdCapital and Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. felt that Cambridge should meet with Ability as they felt Ability’s business and growth potential warranted such a meeting. At that point, a non-disclosure agreement was executed and written information was provided to Cambridge on June 3, 2015.

A conference call was then held on June 9, 2015 during which Ability’s representatives described its products and it’s go-to-market strategy and discussed it’s historical financial results and its recent financial performance. The participants on this call were Benjamin Gordon, Shai Greenwald of BG Strategic Advisors, an affiliate of Mr. Gordon’s, David Nussbaum of EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., Anotoly Hurgin, co-founder and CEO of Ability, Hagai Yedid and Eyal Tzur, a consultant of Ability and Chief Executive Officer and sole shareholder of ASM (with which Ability is engaged in the Joint Venture Agreement as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus). Mr. Greenwald was asked to join this meeting because he is fluent in Hebrew and has experience evaluating companies and due to his affiliation with BG Strategic Advisors, would not cost Cambridge any additional amounts. The elements discussed at this meeting included a leading market position, participation in a large and fast growing industry segment, innovative products that appeared to fill an important market need and a level of financial performance that Cambridge’s management thought would be attractive to the public markets. Based on this initial call, Cambridge’s representatives decided Ability was sufficiently attractive to warrant further investigation and it was decided on that call that representatives of Cambridge and Ability should meet in person to discuss a potential transaction between the parties.

On June 12, 2015, Shai Greenwald met with Anatoly Hurgin, Hagai Yedid and Eyal Tzur. At this meeting, the parties discussed Ability’s products and market position in more detail. Ability provided further explanations on their capabilities, differentiation, and competitive advantage. Ability discussed their revenues and in conjunction with the current market demand and company strategy. The parties also discussed new product offerings and market potential, as well as Ability’s go to market strategy.

On June 16, 2015, Mr. Greenwald had a second meeting with Hagai Yedid and Eyal Tzur, at Ability’s offices in Tel Aviv. At this meeting, Ability provided Mr. Greenwald with product demonstrations as well as a tour of the facility and offices. They also further discussed Ability’s product offering and growth strategy. Mr. Greenwald also obtained a better understanding of Ability’s structure, core competencies, financial infrastructure and capabilities. The parties also discussed ownership valuation and how the transaction would be structured.

The results of these meetings were very positive and it was agreed that Cambridge would conduct additional market due diligence and representatives of Cambridge should negotiate a term sheet with Ability.

Thereafter, further conversations and market due diligence took place. The parties also discussed executing a non-binding term sheet related to the proposed transaction. The term sheet was discussed among Mitch Gordon, Shai Greenwald and Ben Gordon of Cambridge, David Nussbaum of EarlyBird Capital, Anatoly Hurgin of Ability, and Hagai Yedid of Migdal. After discussion, the parties agreed on a term sheet with total consideration of approximately $275 million, consideration at closing of approximately $190 million, and earnouts of approximately 8.5 million shares based on achieving growth targets of $27 million, $40 million and $60 million, respectively, for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The term sheet reflecting the financial aspects was signed on June 29, 2015.

On July 2, 2015, Mr. Greenwald and Mitchell Gordon met with representatives of Ability in Tel Aviv. There were further discussions about the market in which Ability competes, internal systems, financial projections,

Table of Contents

products and product development, research and development, competition and process. Mr. Greenwald and Mr. Gordon also discussed a list of due diligence questions that they had prepared to better understand Ability’s business. The parties also discussed positives and negatives for Ability to be a public company and how to expand Ability’s business in the United States.

On July 16, 2015, Cambridge retained the services of Itegra BD and International Marketing LTD., an industry expert, to assist in due diligence on Ability. Cambridge evaluated multiple due diligence consultants with knowledge of defense technology, cybersecurity, homeland security, tactical interception, and/or other relevant areas. Cambridge chose Integra because they were Israel-based, experienced in defense technology, had operational experience, and relevant due diligence capabilities. Cambridge agreed to pay Itegra an aggregate of $25,000 for their services, of which $4,500 was paid on their engagement with the balance due on closing of the business combination.

On July 17, 2015, Cambridge and its legal counsel, Graubard Miller, commenced legal due diligence, In addition, on July 24, 2015, Cambridge retained the Tel Aviv based law firm, Zemah Schneider & Partners, to assist in legal and tax due diligence relating to local Israeli issues.

During July, Cambridge continued to conduct due diligence. This included conversations with industry experts, customers, competitors, industry analysts and investors and sales agents.

On July 19, 2015 Cambridge and its counsel provided an initial draft of the merger agreement relating to the potential business combination between Cambridge and Ability.

On July 27, 2015, Benjamin Gordon, Shai Greenwald and Mitchell Gordon again met with representatives of Ability at their headquarters in Tel Aviv. This team spent a week in Israel, working with the company, meeting with consultants and lawyers and discussing corporate strategy and prospects for growth. The parties also discussed Ability’s financial controls, the responsibilities of being a public entity and corporate governance.

On July 29, 2015 Cambridge retained Consulting Ltd., an affiliate of Economic Partners LLC, to conduct a Quality of Earnings review of Ability. Consulting Ltd. was recommended to Cambridge by Ability’s independent auditors as Consulting Ltd. was experienced in evaluating Israeli companies’ financial statements.

On July 30, 2015 Cambridge retained Intelligo Group to conduct background checks on the Ability’s executives. The report found no issues of concern. EarlyBirdCapital introduced Cambridge to Intelligo Group, who had been introduced to them by a contact at Jefferies & Company. Cambridge agreed to pay Intelligo a fee of $10,000, half of which was paid up front, and the remainder is to be paid upon the closing of the merger.

On August 4, 2015, Cambridge retained Prometheus to provide a Fairness Opinion to Cambridge’s Board of Directors. The findings of Prometheus are discussed in detail in the section titled “Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of Cambridge” below.

In late July and early August 2015, Cambridge continued to conduct due diligence including:

 

    Conference calls with industry consultants, investors, analysts and retired executives;

 

    Research via industry publications, on industry trends, governmental budgets and other factors;

 

    Extensive and daily discussions with Ability’s management team regarding Ability’s business, products, operations, financial performance, internal controls and growth plans; and

 

    Discussion with retained advisors and consultants.

In addition, Cambridge interviewed approximately 5 potential board members that would be interested in serving following the consummation of the business combination. The interviews were conducted by Ben Gordon, Mitch Gordon, Shai Greenwald, Anatoly Hurgin, Hagai Yedid, and Eyal Tzur and focused on the candidates’

familiarity with defense technology and the intelligence sector, experience with public companies, and an understanding of Ability and its operations and growth objectives.

During August 2015, Cambridge’s legal counsel and its advisors continued to interact with Ability’s corporate counsel and its Israeli tax and corporate counsels, and discussed issues including those related to tax, structure and general due diligence.

From July 19 to September 1 2015, Cambridge and its counsel negotiated terms and condition of the merger agreement with Ability and its counsel.

On September 1, 2015, a telephonic meeting of Cambridge’s board of directors was held. All directors were present on this call, as were the following invited individuals: Brian L. Ross of Graubard Miller and Eyal Szewach of Prometheus. Prior to the meeting, copies of the significant transaction documents, in substantially final form, were delivered to the directors. Messrs. Gordon, Gordon and Greenwald led a discussion of the search for a target business and detailed the dynamics of the Ability transaction. At the request of the Cambridge board, Mr. Szewach of Prometheus then reviewed and discussed Prometheus’ financial analyses with respect to Ability and the proposed transactions.

At the September 1, 2015 board meeting, Prometheus rendered its oral opinion to the Cambridge board (which was confirmed in writing by delivery of Prometheus’ written opinion dated such date), that, as of September 1, 2015, (i) the merger consideration to be paid by Cambridge in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Cambridge and (ii) Ability had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in Cambridge’s trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the funds in the trust account).

Subsequent to the delivery of the opinion of Prometheus, and in order to accommodate certain tax structuring desired by the Ability shareholders in connection with the business combination, the terms of the definitive merger agreement were modified such that the amount of cash paid at closing was reduced, and the number of shares issued at closing and subject to the Ability shareholders’ put option (and the cash deposited in escrow for payments therefore) were increased. Prometheus advised that, as of September 4, 2015, such changes were immaterial to its opinion and did not impact the conclusion of the opinion.

In November 2015, it became apparent that certain revenues that were expected to be received by Ability in the second half of 2015 will likely be delayed and received in early 2016. Prometheus was made aware of this fact and has advised Cambridge that the changes resulting from this delay do not impact the conclusion of Prometheus’ letter of September 1, 2015.

The amount of the consideration to be paid by Cambridge to Ability’s shareholders was determined pursuant to negotiations between Cambridge and Ability and not pursuant to recommendations of Prometheus. Cambridge determined the consideration including the number of shares, minimum cash requirement and the terms of an earn-out, including the use and determination of net income targets and the number of shares issued thereunder after conducting a thorough due diligence review of Ability’s operations, which included reviewing Ability’s management, products, earnings and historical financial performance, new product development process and backlog, sales pipeline and backlog, market perception and reputation, financial controls and oversight and discussions with suppliers and customers. Cambridge also did an extensive examination of market values of comparable companies. The consideration was then negotiated with Ability’s management.

The summary of Prometheus’ opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the written opinion, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Prometheus in preparing its opinion. However, neither Prometheus’ written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are intended

to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the proposed business combination.

After considerable review and discussion, the merger agreement and related documents were unanimously approved, subject to final negotiations and modifications, and the Cambridge board determined to recommend the approval of the merger agreement.

The merger agreement was signed on September 6, 2015. Prior to the market open on September 8, 2015, Cambridge and Ability issued a press release announcing the execution of the merger agreement and some of the salient terms of the merger agreement. Cambridge also filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which included the press release, the merger agreement and a presentation which provided a summary of the deal terms and additional details on Ability’s operations.

Cambridge’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

The consideration to be paid to the Ability shareholders in the merger agreement was determined by several factors. Cambridge’s board of directors reviewed various industry and financial data in order to determine that the consideration to be paid to Ability was reasonable and that the business combination was in the best interests of Cambridge’s stockholders.

Cambridge conducted a due diligence review of Ability that included an industry analysis; an analysis of Ability’s existing business model; historical and projected financial results; and a valuation analysis in order to enable its board of directors to ascertain the reasonableness of the consideration being paid.

Cambridge’s management, including the members of its board of directors, has long and diverse experience in both operational management and investment and financial management and analysis and, in its opinion, was suitably qualified to conduct the due diligence and other investigations and analyses required in connection with Cambridge’s search for a merger partner. A detailed description of the experience of Cambridge’s board of directors is included in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ Other Information Related to Cambridge — Directors and Executive Officers .”

The Cambridge board of directors concluded that the merger agreement with Ability was in the best interests of Cambridge’s stockholders. The Cambridge board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the business combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Cambridge board of directors did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, individual members of the Cambridge board may have given different weight to different factors.

In considering the business combination, the Cambridge board of directors gave considerable weight to the following factors:

Ability’s historical operating performance and high potential for future growth

In selecting Ability as a merger partner, Cambridge’s board of directors considered it important that Ability has established business operations, that it its generating current revenues and profits and that it has what the board believes to be the potential to experience valuable accretive growth. Ability’s recent financial performance has been strong. Ability’s LTM Gross margin exceeded 45% and its net income margin for the twelve months ended September 30, 2015 was 32%. Cambridge’s board of directors believes that Ability is well-positioned in its industry to achieve significant organic and strategic growth.

The board further believes that Ability’s wide product range and the high quality of its products position the company well for continued growth. Ability currently sells products to security and intelligence agencies,

 

80


Table of Contents

military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. It has been an innovator since its founding and continues, in the board’s opinion, to develop leading edge products for its customers. In addition, it has a product development pipeline that, Cambridge believes, will continue to allow it to attract new customers and open new markets.

The Experience of Ability’s Management

Another important factor to Cambridge’s board of directors in identifying a merger target was that the company have a seasoned management team with specialized knowledge of the markets within which it operates and the ability to lead a company in an ever-changing environment. Cambridge’s board of directors believes that Ability’s management’s background’s longstanding relationships with its customers and potential customers, its long-standing relationships with technology providers and sales agents provides Ability a sustainable competitive advantage. Furthermore, Cambridge believes that Ability’s resident technological expertise and know-how is another important competitive advantage.

The Industry in which Ability Operates

Ability competes at the intersection of the homeland security, cyber security and tactical interception sectors. These are large and growing markets. Homeland security is a $148 billion market, growing at 6% annually. Commercial cybersecurity is a $93 billion market, growing at 17% annually. Lawful tactical interception is a $6 billion market, growing at 11% respectively. (Source: Renaissance Strategic Advisors)

Ability’s Valuation

The board also considered Ability’s valuation in issuing its approval. Based on a per-share price of Cambridge’s common stock of $10.10, Ability is being valued at a level the board deems to be attractive. At this stock price, Ability’s price-to-earnings ratio (excluding net cash) would be 9.5x 2015 target net income, 6.9x 2016 target net income, 4.9x 2017 target net income, and 3.8x 2018 target net income. These targets are based on the Net Income shares that the Ability shareholders are eligible to receive as part of the consideration in the business combination for reaching net income levels of $27 million, $40 million, $60 million, and $80 million, respectively, in each year from 2015 through 2018. The board compared this valuation to other publicly traded companies and private transaction multiples, including those listed in the fairness opinion described in the section entitled “ Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of Cambridge.” In the board’s judgment, Ability’s valuation compares favorably with these public trading companies and private transaction multiples.

Estimates Furnished by Ability to Cambridge

Ability has provided Cambridge with its internally prepared estimates for its revenue, gross profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and net income for the full year 2015 and 2016. The estimates were not prepared with a view to public disclosure or under GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. These estimates are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments. You are cautioned not to rely on the estimates in making a decision regarding the transaction, as the estimates may be materially different than actual results.

The estimates reflect numerous assumptions including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Ability’s control, such as the risks and uncertainties contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

The financial estimates are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Ability’s control. While all estimates

 

81


Table of Contents

are necessarily speculative, Ability believes that the prospective financial information covering periods beyond twelve months from its date of preparation carries increasingly higher levels of uncertainty and should be read in that context. There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the estimates. The inclusion of the estimates in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Ability or its representatives considered or consider the estimates to be a reliable prediction of future events, and reliance should not be placed on the estimates.

The estimates were requested by, and disclosed to, Cambridge for use as a component in its overall evaluation of Ability, and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus on that account. Ability has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the estimates to anyone, including to Cambridge. Neither Ability’s management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Ability compared to the information contained in the estimates, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the estimates to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the estimates are shown to be in error. Accordingly, they should not be looked upon as “guidance” of any sort. Holdco will not refer back to these estimates in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

The estimates were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Ability’s management. BDO, Ability’s auditor, has neither examined, compiled nor performed any other procedures with respect to the estimates and, accordingly, BDO does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The report furnished by BDO included in this proxy statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information of Ability. They do not extend to the estimates and should not be read as if they do.

The key elements of the estimates provided to Cambridge are summarized below:

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that any business acquired by Cambridge has a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of Ability generally used to approve the transaction, including a comparison of comparable companies and a discounted cash flow analysis, the Cambridge board of directors determined that this requirement was met. The board determined that consideration being paid in the share exchange, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, was fair to and in the best interests of Cambridge and its stockholders and appropriately reflected Cambridge’s value. In reaching this determination, the board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships, and technical skills as well as quantitative factors such as Ability’s historical growth rate and its potential for future growth in revenues and profits. Cambridge’s board of directors believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of Ability met

this requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cambridge received the opinion of Prometheus which confirmed that Ability met the 80% test.

Interests of Cambridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Cambridge to vote in favor of approval of the merger proposal, the charter amendments proposal and the other proposals, stockholders should keep in mind that Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Cambridge stockholders generally. In particular:

 

    If the business combination with Ability or another business combination is not consummated by December 23, 2015, Cambridge will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 2,012,500 initial shares held by Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to Cambridge’s initial public offering, would be worthless because Cambridge’s initial stockholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $20,286,000 based upon the closing price of $10.08 per share on Nasdaq on November 24, 2015, the record date.

 

    Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 472,125 private units from Cambridge for an aggregate purchase price of $4,721,250 (or $10.00 per unit). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering. All of the proceeds Cambridge received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such units had an aggregate market value of $4,853,445 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per unit on Nasdaq on November 24, 2015, the record date. The purchasers of the private units waived the right to participate in any redemption or liquidation distribution with respect to such private units. Accordingly, the Cambridge shares and warrants underlying the private units will become worthless if Cambridge does not consummate a business combination by December 23, 2015 (as will the Cambridge warrants held by public stockholders).

 

    The market value of each of the Cambridge directors’ current equity ownership in Cambridge common stock and units, based on the closing price of $10.08 per share of common stock and $10.28 per unit on the Nasdaq as of November 24, 2015, the record date, is as follows:

Does not include 1,582,413 shares with an aggregate value of $15,950,723 held by The Gordon Family 2007 Trust, a trust established for the benefit of Mr. Gordon’s family, over which Mr. Gordon exercises no control. In the event the merger is not consummated, 1,567,500 shares owned by The Gordon Family 2007 Trust will become worthless.
  (3) Represents shares held by Gantcher Family Limited Partnership. Mr. Gantcher is the managing member of Gantcher Family Partners, LLC, which is the general partner of Gantcher Family Limited Partnership.

    The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that Benjamin Gordon and Mitchell Gordon will be directors of Holdco after the closing of the business combination. As such, in the future each will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Holdco board of directors determines to pay to its non-executive directors.

 

    Currently, it is anticipated that non-employee directors, such as Messrs. Benjamin Gordon and Mitchell Gordon, of Holdco following the business combination will receive an annual retainer fee and annual awards under Holdco’s 2015 in amounts to be determined by the board of directors of Holdco in its discretion. In addition, nonemployee directors of Holdco may be eligible to receive a fee for each board meeting attended in person, as may be determined by the board of directors. Finally, as it is anticipated that either or both of Messrs. Gordon and Gordon will become members of one or more committees of the Holdco board of directors following the business combination, and would receive an additional annual fee in an amount to be determined by Holdco’s board of directors for serving in such role.

 

    If Holdco is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, Cambridge’s executive officers will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Cambridge for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Cambridge, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver.

 

    Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Cambridge’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Cambridge fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Cambridge may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the business combination with Ability or another business combination, is not completed by December 23, 2015. As of November 24, 2015, the record date, Cambridge’s initial stockholders and their affiliates had incurred approximately $298,169 of unpaid reimbursable expenses.

 

    Since its inception, Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge’s chief executive officer, has made loans from time to time to Cambridge to fund certain capital requirements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, an aggregate of $350,000 principal amount of these loans is outstanding. These loans are evidenced by non-interest bearing notes that are convertible at Mr. Gordon’s election upon the consummation of an initial business combination into units of Cambridge, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Mr. Gordon has indicated he intends to convert the full amount of the notes into units, resulting in him being issued an aggregate of 35,000 ordinary shares and 35,000 warrants of Holdco. If the business combination is not consummated, the notes will not be repaid or converted and will be forgiven.

 

    If Cambridge is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, Cambridge’s executive officers have agreed to advance Cambridge the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Recommendation of Cambridge’s Board of Directors

After careful consideration of the matters described above, particularly Ability’s historical record of growth, potential for growth and profitability, the experience of Ability’s management, Ability’s competitive positioning, its customer relationships, and technical skills, Cambridge’s board determined unanimously that each of the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal, if presented, Cambridge’s board of directors has approved and declared advisable and unanimously recommend that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” each of these proposals.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Cambridge board of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information and factors considered by the Cambridge board of directors.

Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of Cambridge

On September 1, 2015, Prometheus Financial Advisory Ltd. rendered its oral opinion to the Cambridge board (which was confirmed in writing by delivery of Prometheus’ written opinion dated such date), that, as of September 1, 2015, (i) the merger consideration to be paid by Cambridge in the transaction merger pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Cambridge and (ii) Ability had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in Cambridge’s trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the funds in the trust account). Subsequent to the delivery of the opinion of Prometheus, and in order to accommodate certain tax structuring desired by Ability’s shareholders in connection with the business combination, the terms of the definitive merger agreement were modified such that the amount of cash paid at closing was reduced, and the number of shares issued at closing and subject to the Ability shareholders’ put option (and the cash deposited in escrow for payments therefore) were increased. Prometheus advised that, as of September 4, 2015, such changes were immaterial to its opinion and do not impact the conclusion of the opinion. In November 2015, it became apparent that certain revenues that were expected to be received by Ability in the second half of 2015 will likely be delayed and received in early 2016. Prometheus was made aware of this fact and has advised Cambridge that the changes resulting from this delay do not impact the conclusion of Prometheus’ letter of September 1, 2015.

The summary of the opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the written opinion, which is included as  Annex B  to this proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Prometheus in preparing its opinion. However, neither Prometheus’ written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the proposed business combination.

The opinion was addressed to the Cambridge board for the use and benefit of the members of the Cambridge board (in their capacities as such) in connection with the Cambridge board’s evaluation of the business combination. The opinion is not intended to and does not constitute a recommendation to any of Cambridge’s stockholders or any other security holders as to how such holder should vote or act with respect to any matter relating to the business combination or otherwise. Prometheus’ opinion was just one of the several factors the Cambridge board took into account in making its determination to approve the mergers, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The opinion only addressed whether, as of the date of such opinion, (i) the merger consideration to be paid by Cambridge in the business combination pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Cambridge and (ii) Ability had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in Cambridge’s trust account. It did not address any other terms, aspects, or implications of the business combination or the merger agreement, including, without limitation, (i) any term or aspect of the business combination that is not susceptible to financial analysis, (ii) the fairness of the business combination or all or any portion of the consideration to be paid therein, to any security holders of Cambridge, Ability or any other person or any creditors or other constituencies of Cambridge, Ability or any other person, (iii) the appropriate capital structure of Cambridge or whether Cambridge should be issuing debt or equity securities or a combination of both, nor (iv) the fairness of the amount or nature, or any other aspect, of any compensation or consideration payable to or received by any officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the business combination, or any class of such persons, relative to the merger consideration to be paid by Cambridge in the business combination pursuant to the merger agreement, or otherwise.

Table of Contents

The opinion did not address the relative merits of the business combination as compared to any alternative transaction or business strategy that might exist for Cambridge, or the merits of the underlying decision by Cambridge to engage in or consummate the business combination. The financial and other terms of the business combination, including the amount of the merger consideration, were determined pursuant to negotiations between the parties to the merger agreement and were not determined by or pursuant to any recommendation from Prometheus. Prometheus expressed no view with respect to the tax treatment that will be required to be applied to the merger, nor does its opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which it understands that the Company has obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals. Prometheus relied as to all legal, tax and accounting matters on advice of Cambridge’s management and its third-party legal, tax, accounting and other advisors. Prometheus further assumed, with Cambridge’s consent, that any adjustment of the consideration pursuant to the merger agreement will not be material to the opinion expressed herein. In rendering its opinion, Prometheus assumed that the final terms of the merger will not vary materially from those set forth in the latest drafts reviewed by it, without any waiver, modification or amendment of any material terms or conditions thereof, and that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the merger will be obtained without any adverse effect on Cambridge or Ability or on the expected benefits of the merger.

Prometheus expressed no opinion as to the price at which the ordinary shares of Holdco will trade at any future time or otherwise as to the effect of the merger on the trading price of the ordinary shares of Holdco. Such trading price may be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) dispositions of the ordinary shares of Holdco by stockholders within a short period of time after the closing of the business combination, (ii) changes in prevailing interest rates and other factors which generally influence the price of securities, (iii) adverse changes in the capital markets, (iv) the occurrence of adverse changes in the financial condition, business, assets, results of operations or prospects of Holdco or Ability or in the markets they serve, (v) any actions taken or restrictions imposed by federal, state or other governmental agencies or regulatory authorities, and (vi) timely completion of the business combination terms and conditions that are acceptable to all parties at interest.

Prometheus’s analysis and opinion were necessarily based upon market, economic, and other conditions, as they exist on, and could be evaluated as of the date of the opinion. Accordingly, although subsequent developments could arise that would otherwise affect its opinion, Prometheus did not assume any obligation to update, review, or reaffirm the opinion to the Cambridge board or any other person or otherwise to comment on or consider events occurring or coming to Prometheus’s attention after the date of the opinion. The opinion was reviewed and approved by the Fairness Opinion Committee of Prometheus.

In arriving at its opinion, Prometheus made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as Prometheus deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Among other things, Prometheus reviewed:

 

    Reviewed a copy of a letter of intent relating to the merger agreement and a reviewed a draft of the merger agreement;

 

    certain audited historical financial statements of Ability for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013;

 

    certain financial information of Ability for fiscal year 2012;

 

    certain unaudited (reviewed) historical financial statements of Ability for the six months ended June 30, 2015;

 

    certain publicly available financial statements of Cambridge for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015;

 

    certain internal business, operating and financial information and forecasts of Ability prepared by senior management of Ability, and reviewed by senior management of Cambridge and approved for its use (the “Forecasts”);

 

86


Table of Contents
    certain information regarding the financial and operational benefits anticipated from the business combination and the prospects of Ability provided to us by Ability;

 

    certain information regarding publicly available financial terms of certain other business combinations Prometheus deemed relevant;

 

    financial information (including the financial position and operating results) of Ability compared with financial and trading information of certain publicly traded companies Prometheus deemed relevant;

 

    the Bloomberg database; and

 

    certain other publicly available information regarding the industry.

Prometheus also held discussions with members of the senior management Ability and Ability’s investment banking advisor, Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd., and other advisors, to discuss the foregoing, the past and current business operations and the financial condition and future prospects of Ability. Prometheus considered such other matters that it deemed relevant to its inquiry and have taken into account such financial and other procedures and considerations as Prometheus deemed relevant or appropriate.

In rendering its opinion, Prometheus assumed and relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of all the information examined by or otherwise reviewed or discussed with it for purposes of the opinion, including, without limitation, the Forecasts and Cambridge’s historical financial information. Prometheus did not make or obtain an independent valuation or appraisal of the assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise) or solvency of Cambridge or Ability. Prometheus was advised by the senior management of Cambridge that the Forecasts and the other prospective financial information prepared for Prometheus’ use by the senior management of Cambridge and examined by Prometheus were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the senior management of Cambridge. In that regard, Prometheus assumed, with Cambridge’s consent, that all material assets and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Cambridge and Ability are as set forth in the financial statements made available to it. Prometheus particularly assumed, with Cambridge’s consent, that Ability did not have any assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) that would be material to the opinion expressed therein that were not reflected in the financial statements of Ability made available to it. Prometheus expressed no opinion with respect to the Forecasts or other prospective financial information or the estimates and judgments on which they are based.

For purposes of its analyses, Prometheus considered the consideration assuming the issuance of a number of Cambridge’s shares based upon a value of $9.95 per share, which Cambridge advised Prometheus, and which Prometheus assumed with Cambridge’s consent, was the fair market value of such shares. Prometheus was also advised by Cambridge, and Prometheus assumed with Cambridge’s consent, that the amount held by Cambridge in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the amount held in trust) did not and would not exceed $81 million.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses performed and material factors considered by Prometheus in connection with its opinion. Prometheus performed certain procedures, including each of the financial analyses described below, and reviewed with Cambridge’s board of directors the assumptions upon which such analyses were based, as well as other factors. Although the summary does not purport to describe all of the analyses performed or factors considered by Prometheus in this regard, it does set forth those considered by Prometheus to be material in arriving at its opinion. The order of the summaries of analyses described does not represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Prometheus. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses performed by Prometheus, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Prometheus. Considering the data set forth in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create an incomplete or misleading view of the financial analyses performed by Prometheus.

For purpose of this analysis Prometheus calculated the implied value of the merger consideration as follows:

 

    Cash Consideration valued at $19.1 million;

 

    Put Option Shares Consideration valued at $10.7 million;

 

    Consideration paid in shares estimated at $137.8 million with share price set at $9.95 and considering the lock-up period applied to the shares; and

 

    Earn-out Shares are valued at $40.1 million.

Accordingly, the total value of Ability implied by the merger is $208 million.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis A discounted cash flow analysis is a valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of a company or asset by calculating the “present value” of estimated future cash flows of the company or asset. “Future cash flows” refers to projected unlevered free cash flows of the business. “Present value” refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, capital structure, income taxes, expected returns and other appropriate factors.

Prometheus calculated the discounted cash flow value for Ability as the sum of the net present value of (i) the projected unlevered, post-tax future free cash flows, and (ii) the assumed value of Ability at the end of the period (referred to as the “terminal value”). Prometheus used a 20% discount rate. This analysis indicated an implied enterprise value of approximately $226.3 million.

Selected publicly traded companies multiples analysis In order to estimate the reasonability of the value calculated independently by Prometheus, Prometheus reviewed and compared certain financial information and multiples relating to Ability to corresponding financial information, ratios and public market trading multiples of publicly traded cyber information technology security and lawful interception (“Cyber”) companies that Prometheus deemed relevant. Although none of the selected companies is identical or directly comparable to Ability, Prometheus, using its professional judgment and experience, determined that such companies were the most appropriate for purposes of this analysis based on certain criteria that Prometheus considered to be appropriate in light of the applicable facts and circumstances. Among the information Prometheus considered was Ability’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (referred to as “EBITDA”) and Ability’s Revenues, in each case for the 12 months ended on the last available financial statement (referred to as “LTM”). For each selected publicly traded company, Prometheus considered its enterprise value defined as the company’s market capitalization calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of June 30, 2015 plus preferred equity and total debt, less cash and cash equivalents) as a multiple of LTM EBITDA. These trading multiples are commonly used by professionals in connection with financial valuations. The operating results and the corresponding trading multiples derived for each of the selected publicly traded companies were based on each company’s most recent available publicly disclosed financial information and closing share prices as of June 30, 2015. Prometheus adjusted the historical results of the selected publicly traded companies, where it deemed appropriate, to eliminate the impact of publicly disclosed unusual or non-recurring items included in their financial information. Although Prometheus compared the trading multiples of the selected publicly traded companies to those implied for Ability, none of the selected publicly traded companies is identical or directly comparable to Ability. Accordingly, any analysis of the selected publicly traded companies necessarily would involve complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating characteristics and other factors that would necessarily affect the analysis of trading multiples of the selected publicly traded companies. Prometheus did not have access to internal forecasts for any of the selected publicly traded companies other than Ability.

Following are the selected publicly traded companies used in the analysis:

Radware Ltd

Cyberark Software

Check Point Soft

Imperva Inc

Varonis Systems

Nice Systems

Verint systems

Cobham plc

Prometheus calculated EBITDA multiples based on these selected publicly traded companies as a supplementary analysis to the discounted cash flow analysis. Information regarding the trading multiples from Prometheus’s analysis of selected publicly traded companies is set forth in the following tables:

Prometheus noted that some of the companies included above had an operating loss and therefore were excluded from the relative group for EV/LTM EBITDA multiple purpose (see above).

Based on EV/ LTM EBITDA Multiples of Selected Publicly Traded Companies, Ability’s value was at least $272.5 million. This value was greater than the Implied Value ($208 million). The Consideration is therefore fair from the financial point of view of Cambridge.

Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis. Prometheus performed an analysis of two selected precedent transactions it was able to identify as close in nature. The purpose of this analysis was to provide a comparison of the transaction multiples implied by the consideration paid by acquirers in recent transactions involving the acquisition of companies operating in the Cyber industry with the multiples implied by the Consideration. Prometheus’s analysis was based solely on publicly available information regarding such transactions. The selected transactions were not intended to be representative of the entire range of possible transactions in the Cyber industry because complete information relating to such entire range of transactions is not always publicly available. While none of the companies that participated in the selected transactions is identical or directly comparable to Ability, Prometheus, using its professional judgment and experience, deemed such transactions relevant after analyzing them in connection with certain criteria that Prometheus considered to be appropriate in light of the applicable facts and circumstances. In selecting the transactions to analyze, Prometheus evaluated

criteria in their entirety without application of definitive qualifications or limitations to any individual criterion. As a result, a transaction involving the acquisition of a significantly larger or smaller company relative to Ability operating in a line of business and under business and financial conditions similar, in whole or in part, to Ability’s may have been included, while a transaction involving the acquisition of a similarly sized company as the Ability with less similar lines of business and operating under different business and financial conditions may have been excluded. Prometheus calculated the multiples implied by the consideration paid in the selected transactions in terms of the enterprise value of the target as a multiple of the revenues and net earnings. These multiples are commonly used by professionals in connection with financial analysis. Prometheus adjusted the historical results of the acquired companies, where it deemed appropriate, to eliminate the impact of publicly disclosed unusual or non-recurring items included in their financial information.

Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis Summary:

 

  a. U-TX Technologies LTD/Verint Systems (April 2014)

The publicly available information regarding the deal was the total consideration paid by the acquirer and the expected target’s contribution to Verint revenue in 2014 and in 2015 as described in a conference call by Verint CEO, Dan Bodner 1 . The multiples indicated by the deal were as follows:

 

Implied TV/2015 Expected Sales

     4.1

Applying the same multiple on the Ability’s 2015 expected revenues yields the following result:

 

Implied TV/2015 Expected Sales

     4.1

Ability’s 2015 expected revenues:

     89.8   

Ability’s implied Value

     372.0   

 

  b. NICE Systems Ltd.‘s Cyber and Intelligence division acquired by Elbit Systems Ltd (May 2015)

The available information regarding the deal was the cash consideration paid by the acquirer in a total of $117.9 million and an additional $40 million earn-out. The press release indicated the Intelligence division’s full year contribution (as shown in the previous annual guidance of to the seller) to the Non-GAAP revenue of $80 million and $0.09 in Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share. The press release also indicated the previous second quarter guidance included the Intelligence division’s contribution of $20 million in Non-GAAP revenue and $0.03 in Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share.

Applying a conservative approach Prometheus used the low end of the consideration (excluding earn-out) and annualized the 3 months contribution to the EPS. The multiple indicated by the deal was as follows:

 

    Last quarter per share net earnings: $0.03

 

    Annualized per share net earnings: $0.12 (we used this number which is higher than the 2015 $0.09 guidance available that was at the time)

 

    Number of shares: 60.9 million

 

    Annualized net earnings: $7.3 million

 

    Consideration (excluding earn outs): $117.9

 

    P/E: 16.1x

Table of Contents

The transaction took place in early 2015 and the 16.1x P/E multiple is based on the 2015 earnings expectations we derived.

Applying the Same multiple on the Ability’s 2015 expected EBITDA yields the following result:

 

     Implied TV/2015
Expected net

Deal implied multiples

     16.1x   

Ability’s 2015 expected EBITDA

     32.1 million   

Implied value

   $ 516.8 million   

The implied value to Ability according to the NICE-Elbit transaction is $516.8 million. However, both NICE and Elbit are publicly traded company’s therefore a discount for lack of marketability should be used when applying the multiple to the Ability’s profit. The applied discount is usually around 20% in such cases, implying a total discounted value of approximately $414 million to Ability based on this transaction.

Prometheus noted that the total consideration the buyers in both tested transactions were willing to pay was probably somewhat higher that what a financial investor would be willing to pay due to possible synergies. However, the implied multiples are high enough to show that the Consideration paid for Ability was reasonable.

Based on the selected transaction multiples above, Ability’s value was greater than the Implied Value ($208 million). The Consideration was therefore fair from a the financial point of view of Cambridge

Other Matters Relating to Prometheus’ Opinion

Prometheus is an Israeli independent financial advisory firm, offering a broad range of valuation and consulting services, including fairness and solvency opinions, mergers and acquisitions due diligence services, financial reporting valuations, tax valuations, fixed asset and real estate consulting. Prometheus is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities and the preparation of fairness opinions in connection with mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions. Although Prometheus has never in the past, provided any services to Ability and Cambridge, in the ordinary course of its business, Prometheus may from time to time provide such services to Cambridge, Ability or Holdco. Prometheus is strictly an advisory firm with no investment banking activity. Prometheus was not requested to, nor did it participate in the negotiation or structuring of the merger. Prometheus was engaged by Cambridge solely to provide an opinion to Cambridge’s Board of Directors and shall receive a fee of $92,000 as a result of the delivery of its opinion (the “Fee”). The Fee is immaterial in comparison to Prometheus’ revenues (according to Israeli Securities Authority threshold). A portion of the Fee ($60,000) will be received only upon closing of the business combination, and should the business combination not take place, Prometheus will not be entitled to that portion of the Fee. In addition, Cambridge has agreed to indemnify Prometheus against certain liabilities arising out of the engagement with Cambridge.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Cambridge and Its Securityholders

General

The following section is a summary of the opinion of Graubard Miller, counsel to Cambridge, regarding material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to holders of Cambridge common stock. This discussion addresses only those Cambridge security holders that hold their securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), and does not address all the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances or to holders that are subject to special rules, such as:

 

    financial institutions;

 

    investors in pass-through entities;

 

91


Table of Contents
    tax-exempt organizations;

 

    dealers in securities or currencies;

 

    traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting;

 

    persons that hold Cambridge common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction; and

 

    persons who are not citizens or residents of the U.S.

The Graubard Miller opinion is based upon the Code, applicable treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date of its opinion, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and foreign laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, are not addressed.

Neither Cambridge nor Ability intends to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger.

For purposes of this section, a United States Holder, or a U.S. Holder is a person who or which is any of the following for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

 

    a corporation, including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

    an estate if its income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

    a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (b) it has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A Non-U.S. Holder is a person who is not a U.S. Holder.

Anticipated Tax Treatment of Redomestication Merger

The redomestication merger has been structured to qualify as a reorganization under the Code. It is the opinion of Graubard Miller that the redomestication merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.367(a)-3(c) and 1.367(a)-1T(f), will not result in the recognition of gain or loss by any holder of Cambridge common stock owning less than 5% of the shares of Holdco following the redomestication merger; provided, however, that although the matter is not free from doubt, any holder of Cambridge common stock owning 5% or more of the shares of Holdco following the redomestication merger may be required to file a gain recognition agreement in order to avoid recognition of gain, if any, in connection with the transaction, as further described below.

Except as otherwise discussed below, the U.S. federal tax basis of the shares of Holdco received by the holder of Cambridge common stock in the redomestication merger will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the Cambridge common stock surrendered in exchange therefore. The holding period of the shares of Holdco received in the redomestication merger by a holder of Cambridge common stock will include the period during which such Cambridge common stock was held as a capital asset on the date of the merger.

A holder of Cambridge common stock who owns 5% or more of the ordinary shares of Holdco may be required to recognize any gain (but not loss, if any) upon the exchange of such stockholder’s common stock in Cambridge for ordinary shares of Holdco, unless such stockholder files a gain recognition agreement with the stockholder’s

 

92


Table of Contents

income tax return for the taxable year that includes the date of the redomestication merger. Gain is measured by the difference between the fair market value of the ordinary shares of Holdco received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Cambridge common stock. The gain recognition agreement requires, among other things, the five-percent or more Holdco shareholder:

 

    to waive the statute of limitations on a Form 8838,

 

    to file a statement with his or her income tax return for each of the five full taxable years following the year of the merger certifying that a taxable disposition of substantially all of the assets of Holdco has not occurred; and

 

    if such a disposition has occurred, to include in income the previously unrecognized gain on the conversion of the shares and pay interest on any resulting tax.

It should be noted that if, as is anticipated, the redomestication merger constitutes a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, pursuant to applicable Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-1T(f), it appears that no gain recognition agreement should be required with respect to any holder of Cambridge common stock in order for such shareholders to avoid gain recognition in connection with the redomestication merger regardless of whether they own 5% or more of the Holdco ordinary shares following the redomestication merger.

Cambridge stockholders potentially required to file gain recognition agreements as described above are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific information to be included in such agreements, and the requirements for recognizing gain with respect to the Cambridge securities.

To the extent that gain is required to be recognized by a 5% or greater holder of Holdco ordinary shares, then the U.S. federal tax basis of the shares of Holdco received by such holder of Cambridge common stock in the redomestication merger will generally be equal to the fair market value of Holdco ordinary shares on the date that the redomestication merger is consummated. In that case, the holding period of the shares of Holdco received in the redomestication merger by a holder of Cambridge common stock will commence immediately following the date of the merger.

Potential Application of Corporate Inversion Rules

The foregoing U.S. federal income tax consequences should not be materially affected by “corporate inversion” rules under Section 7874 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder which, if applicable, provide for special treatment of certain domestic business entities which expatriate from the United States to a foreign jurisdiction. These new provisions generally apply to the direct or indirect acquisition of substantially all of the properties of a domestic enterprise by a foreign corporation if there is at least 60% or 80% continuing share ownership in the successor foreign entity by the former stockholders of the U.S. corporation and substantial business activities are not conducted in the jurisdiction in which such successor is created or organized. Under the terms of the merger agreement, immediately following the merger, it is anticipated that the current holders of Cambridge will own less than 60% of the then outstanding ordinary shares and purchase options of Holdco. As a result, Holdco should be respected as a foreign corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and should not be classified as an expatriated entity. Because of the lack of interpretive guidance with respect to many of the issues surrounding the application of Code Section 7874. The IRS may not agree with our interpretation of these rules, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not ultimately challenge our positions or that any such challenge would be successful.

As Cambridge’s assets consist primarily, if not solely, of cash, Cambridge should not incur any material amount of U.S. federal income or other tax as a result of the redomestication merger. No gain or loss will be recognized by Cambridge on the transfer of its cash assets to Holdco in the redomestication merger. An evaluation will be made prior to the closing of the redomestication merger to establish whether Cambridge has any intangible (or other) assets with respect to which it would be required to recognize gain in connection with the redomestication merger. If there are any such intangible (or other) assets, it is not expected that they are of substantial value or

 

93


Table of Contents

that any material U.S. federal income tax will be incurred. The IRS may not agree with this conclusion. In such an event, there may be a significant tax obligations for Holdco, the surviving company, to pay based on the value of Cambridge’s appreciated assets at the time of the merger. In particular, the amount of gain recognized by Cambridge would be equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Cambridge’s assets over their tax basis to Cambridge as of the date of the transaction.

Tax Treatment of Distributions

United States corporations that hold ordinary shares of Holdco will not be entitled to the dividends received deduction available for dividends received from United States corporations. To the extent a distribution exceeds E&P, it will be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the basis of the stockholder, and then as gain from the sale of a capital asset.

To the extent that Holdco remains a Cayman Islands corporation and its ordinary shares are traded on NASDAQ, dividends paid will generally be taxed for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the 20% maximum rate applicable to certain “qualified dividends” under the Code.

Potential PFIC status of Holdco. If 75% or more of our gross income in a taxable year, including our pro-rata share of the gross income of any company, U.S. or foreign, in which we are considered to own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the shares by value, is passive income, then we will be a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Alternatively, we will be considered to be a PFIC if at least 50% of our assets in a taxable year (averaged over the year and ordinarily determined based on fair market value, and including our pro-rata share of the assets of any company in which we are considered to own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the shares by value) are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Once treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a foreign corporation will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC for all subsequent taxable years. If we were to be treated as a PFIC, and a U.S. Holder does not make an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund,” or QEF, or a “mark-to-market” election, “excess distributions” to a U.S. Holder, and any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on a disposition of our ordinary shares, would be taxed in an unfavorable way. Among other consequences, our dividends, to the extent that they constituted excess distributions, would be taxed at the regular rates applicable to ordinary income, rather than the 20% maximum rate applicable to certain dividends received by an individual from a qualified foreign corporation, and certain “interest” charges may apply. In addition, gains on the sale of our shares would be treated in the same way as excess distributions.

The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually and it is difficult to make accurate predictions of future income and assets, which are relevant to the determination of PFIC status. In addition, under the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions, it is unclear whether we would be permitted to use a gross loss from sales (sales less cost of goods sold) to offset our passive income in the calculation of gross income. As a result of our substantial cash position, if the value of our operating business assets declines, there is a substantial risk that we will be classified as a PFIC under the asset test described above. There can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC by the IRS. Although the Company does not currently anticipate that it will constitute a PFIC, in light of the periodic asset and income tests applicable in making this determination, no assurance can be given that it will not become a PFIC in any year the future. A U.S. Holder who makes a QEF election is taxed currently on such holder’s proportionate share of our earnings. If the IRS determines that we are a PFIC for a year with respect to which we have determined that we were not a PFIC, however, it might be too late for a U.S. Holder to make a timely QEF election, unless the U.S. Holder qualifies under the applicable Treasury regulations to make a retroactive (late) election. U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares during a period when we are a PFIC will be subject to the foregoing rules, even if we cease to be a PFIC, subject to exceptions for U.S. Holders who made a timely QEF or mark-to-market election, or certain other elections. We do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a QEF election. Accordingly, our shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of PFIC rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding . In general, information reporting requirements will generally apply to cash consideration received by U.S. Holders upon exercise of conversion rights or otherwise in connection with the redomestication merger upon the receipt of cash, if any, in lieu of fractional Holdco ordinary shares received by such U.S. Holders, dividends received by U.S. Holders of Holdco ordinary shares and the proceeds received on the disposition of Holdco ordinary shares effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States),in each case, other than U.S. Holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent or the U.S. Holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Certain U.S. Holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar threshold are required to report information to the IRS relating to Holdco ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Holdco ordinary shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions),by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets , with their tax return, for each year in which they hold Holdco ordinary shares. Such U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding information reporting requirements relating to their ownership of Holdco ordinary shares.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit on a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

The conclusions expressed above are based on current law. Future legislative, administrative or judicial changes or interpretations, which can apply retroactively, could affect the accuracy of those conclusions.

Exercise of Conversion Rights

It is also the opinion of Graubard Miller that a stockholder of Cambridge who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in Cambridge will be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of Cambridge for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Cambridge common stock. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if such shares or purchase options were held as a capital asset on the date of the merger and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of Cambridge common stock and purchase options is more than one year. The tax opinion issued to Cambridge by Graubard Miller, its counsel, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D . Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus.

FATCA Considerations. The Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of March 2010 (the “HIRE Act”), including the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) provisions promulgated thereunder, generally provides that (1) a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on certain payments of U.S. source income (such as dividends and interest), if any, to certain Non-U.S. Holders, and (2) beginning January 1, 2019, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on the proceeds from the sale of property by certain Non-U.S. Holders that could give rise to certain types of U.S. source payments. Withholding is generally required unless such Non-U.S. Holders enter into an agreement with the IRS to disclose the name, address and taxpayer identification number of certain U.S. persons that own, directly or indirectly, interests in such Non-U.S. Holders, as well as certain other information relating to such interests. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications and obligations of FATCA and the HIRE Act.

This discussion is intended to provide only a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, your individual circumstances. In addition, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult with your tax advisor to determine the particular United States federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to you of the merger.

Israeli Tax Consequences

Description of the Transaction

After the share exchange between Holdco and Ability, the previous shareholders of Ability will be the majority owners of Holdco and Ability will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. Ability will retain all of the functions, risks, assets and intellectual property of its business. Holdco will be a Cayman resident holding company. Ability and Holdco will be managed and controlled from Israel.

Tax Consequences for Dividends

If Holdco is managed and controlled from Israel, it will be considered by the Israeli Tax Authority as a company domiciled in Israel and subject to Israeli corporate tax, capital gains tax and any other relevant taxes.

Prior to 2015, the Company was granted an “Approved Enterprise” status for the 10 years ended December 31, 2014, under the Investment Law. The Company received a deferral of corporate income tax on non-distributed income (“Approved Income”). Distributed Approved Income is subject to 25% corporate income tax at the Company level and 15% withholding income taxes at the shareholder level.

Beginning January 1, 2015, Ability has elected the “Preferred Enterprise” program under the amendment to the Investment Law, whereby the Company will be subject to a 9% corporate income tax rate on its income generated in Development Area A and a 16% corporate income tax rate on its income generated in all other areas (“Preferred Income”).

The Company will be subject to a blended corporate income tax rate of 25% in respect of Approved Income, due upon distribution of dividends attributable to Approved Income, and 9% or 16% with respect to Preferred Income. Shareholders will be subject to a 15% withholding tax on dividends in respect of Approved Income and 20% with respect to dividends from Preferred Income.

If the Company does not meet the requirements for a Preferred Enterprise, it will be subject to tax at the ordinary corporate income tax rate, which is expected to be 25% after January 1, 2016.

Taxation of non-Israeli stockholders on receipt of dividends

Generally, dividends distributed from an Israeli company are subject to withholding tax of 25%, subject to any applicable tax treaty between Israel and the country of residence of the shareholder. As Holdco will be a company controlled and managed from Israel, dividends distributed from Ability to Holdco should be exempt from withholding tax and only dividends distributed from Holdco should be taxable. Upon a distribution of dividends from Holdco, shareholders of Holdco will be subject to a reduced Israeli dividend withholding tax of 15% to the extent generated from Approved Income and 20% to the extent generated from Preferred Income, subject to the terms of any applicable tax treaty. Dividends in respect of income that is not Approved or Preferred Income will subject to withholding tax of 25%, subject to any applicable tax treaty.

This discussion is intended to provide only a summary of the material Israeli income tax consequences of the merger. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, your individual circumstances.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The business combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Cambridge will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Ability comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Ability senior management comprising the senior management of

 

96


Table of Contents

the combined company, and the former owners and management of Ability will have control of the board of directors after the merger. In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the merger will be treated as the equivalent of Ability issuing shares for the net assets of Cambridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Cambridge will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the merger will be those of Ability.

Regulatory Matters

The business combination and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with the State of Delaware and Cayman Islands necessary to effectuate the merger.

Required Vote

The approval of the merger proposal and charter proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Cambridge common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the respective proposal. Additionally, the business combination will not be consummated if Cambridge has less than $5 million of net tangible assets after taking into account the holders of public shares that properly demanded that Cambridge convert their public shares into their pro rata share of the trust account.

The approval of the merger proposal is a condition to the consummation of the business combination. If the merger proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except an adjournment proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

THE CAMBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE CAMBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been prepared using two different levels of approval of the transaction by the Cambridge public stockholders as follows:

Assuming No Conversion: This presentation assumes that no Cambridge public stockholders seek conversion of their Cambridge public shares into pro rata shares of the trust account;

Assuming Maximum Conversion: This presentation assumes that holders of no more than 3,014,653 public shares of Cambridge exercise their right to have their shares converted into their pro rata share of the trust account. At this level of conversion, Cambridge would have $40 million available from the trust account after giving effect to payments that Cambridge would be required to make to converting shareholders and

payments of transaction expenses, and other fees and expenses incurred by both Cambridge and Ability which meets minimum cash requirements in order to consummate the business combination.

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to the expected events that are related and/or directly attributable to the transactions, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the transactions.

The historical financial statements of Cambridge and Ability have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The historical financial information of Cambridge was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the audited consolidated financial statements of Cambridge for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

This information should be read together with Cambridge’s and Ability’s financial statements and related notes, “Other Information Related to Cambridge — Cambridge’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Ability’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience.

The merger has not been consummated as of the date of the preparation of these pro forma financial statements and there can be no assurances that the merger will be consummated. See “ Risk Factors ” for additional discussion of risk factors associated with the pro forma financial statements.

Merger

On September 6, 2015, Cambridge, Holdco, Ability and certain shareholders entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”).

The Merger Agreement provides for (i) the merger of Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company and (ii) the subsequent exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of Ability by its shareholders (the “Ability shareholders”) for ordinary shares of Holdco. Under the Merger Agreement, the Ability shareholders will receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (ii) $18,150,000 in cash; and (iii) an additional number of ordinary shares of Holdco to be issued upon and subject to Ability achieving certain net income targets following the share exchange, as describe below. Of the shares to be issued, 16,693,267 ordinary shares will be issued to the Ability shareholders (of which 480,000 will be placed in escrow to be used as consideration for the purchase of the joint venture partner) and 480,000 shares will be issued to Migdal Underwriting and Business Initiatives Ltd.

The Ability shareholders will be entitled to receive additional payments of Holdco shares based on Ability’s achievement of specified net income targets in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

 

107


Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the net income targets and the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Ability shareholders upon the achievement of such targets:

 

Year ending December 31,

   Net
Income Target
     Number of
Holdco Shares
 

2015

   $ 27,000,000         3,600,000  

2016

   $ 40,000,000         1,850,000  

2017

   $ 60,000,000         2,000,000  

2018

   $ 80,000,000         1,000,000  

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the net income target for any fiscal year but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the net income target for such fiscal year, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in the aggregate, such number of Holdco shares equal to the product obtained by (x) the number of Holdco shares that would have been issued to the Ability Shareholders had the net income target been achieved multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by (A) the net income for such fiscal year divided by (B) the net income target for such fiscal year. For illustration, if the net Income for the 2015 fiscal year equals $24,300,000, the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Ability Shareholders for the 2015 net income target shall equal 3,240,000 Holdco shares.

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but satisfies the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the Holdco shares required to be issued by Holdco as a result of Holdco achieving the 2016 net income target, the Holdco shares relating to the net income target. In addition, (i) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2015 net income target and net income for 2016 is a higher percentage of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata Holdco shares required to be issued for the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the difference between the percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income Target and the Net Income for 2015 as compared to the 2015 Net Income target, or (ii) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target and net income for such fiscal year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the 2015 net income target but net income for 2016 is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Ability Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata of the Holdco shares relating to the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the same percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income target.

Under the Merger Agreement, each of the Ability shareholders shall have the right, on one occasion during the 90 day period following the second anniversary of the closing of the merger, to put to Holdco all or part of his pro rata portion of 1,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco he receives in the share exchange for an amount in cash equal to (1) (x) the number of shares being put  multiplied by  (y) $10.10 per share plus (2) his pro rata portion of interest, if any, and subject to the pre-ruling granted by the Israel Tax Authority, as generated in the put option escrow account as described below. $11,850,000 shall be deposited into an escrow account, referred to as the put option escrow account, by Holdco at closing of the merger to fund the payment of the purchase price for the put if it is exercised.

Ability will declare and pay a dividend to the Ability shareholders of $11 million prior to the closing of the merger, which dividend shall be paid from the retained earnings of Ability.

Upon the consummation of the transactions described herein, assuming approval of Cambridge shareholders at a special meeting to be called for such purpose, Holdco will be the new public entity and will change its name to a name to be determined by the parties prior to closing.

Ability may terminate the agreement if Cambridge does not have $40 million available from this trust after giving effect to payments that Cambridge would be required to make to converting shareholders and payments of transaction expenses, and other fees and expenses incurred by both Cambridge and Ability.

 

108


Table of Contents

The transactions are expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2015 after the required approval by the shareholders of Cambridge and the fulfillment of certain other conditions, all as described herein and in the merger agreement.

Accounting for the Merger

The merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Cambridge will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Ability comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Ability senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company, and that the former owners and management of Ability will have control of the board of directors after the merger. In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the merger will be considered to be a capital transaction in substance. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger will be treated as the equivalent of Ability issuing shares for the net assets of Cambridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Cambridge will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the merger will be those of Ability.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The pro forma financial statements were derived from historical consolidated financial statements of Cambridge and the historical consolidated financial statements of Ability.

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the pro forma statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma financial statements reflect the impact of:

 

    The mergers of Cambridge and Ability, resulting in Cambridge issuing 17,173,267 shares of ordinary shares (of which 1,173,267 shares are putable back to the combined company) and paying $18,150,000 in cash to the shareholders of Ability in exchange for 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ability. The merger is presented first assuming that there is no conversion by Cambridge’s public holders of common stock and secondly, assuming the maximum conversion by such holders.

 

    Other adjustments described in the notes to this section.

The following matters have not been reflected in the pro forma financial statements as they do not meet the aforementioned criteria:

 

    Cost savings (or associated costs to achieve such savings) from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring that could result from the merger. The timing and effect of actions associated with integration are currently uncertain.

 

    The potential use by the combined entity of the Cambridge pre-merger cash.

 

    The shares which may be issued upon the achievement of the earnout targets will be recorded as earned, and no adjustment was made within these pro forma financial statements.

The transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of Ability, since the former owners of Ability will control the post-merger company. Ability will be deemed the acquirer and Cambridge will be deemed the acquired company for accounting purposes.

    the name of the new public entity will be “Ability Inc.” as opposed to “Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation”;

 

    Holdco will have 200,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Cambridge having 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock;

 

    Holdco’s corporate existence will be perpetual as opposed to Cambridge’s corporate existence which terminates if Cambridge is unable to consummate a business combination; and

As noted above, the provisions of Article Sixth of Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not be included in Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The provisions of Article Sixth that are proposed to be deleted, by the terms of the preamble (which will also be deleted), apply only during the period that will terminate upon the consummation of the business combination that will be effected by the business combination:

 

    Section A requires that Cambridge submit such business combination to its stockholders for approval pursuant to the proxy rules promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 

    Section B provides that Cambridge may consummate a business combination that is submitted to its stockholders for approval only if a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve such business combination are voted for the approval of such business combination.

 

    Section C specifies the procedures for exercising conversion rights with respect to public shares.

 

    Section D prohibits Cambridge from consummating a business combination unless Cambridge has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such business combination.

 

    Section E provides that, if a business combination is not consummated by December 23, 2015, Cambridge will cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, redeeming 100% of the public shares for cash and, subject to approval of Cambridge’s then stockholders and Cambridge’s board of directors, dissolving and liquidating.

 

    Section F provides when holders of public shares are entitled to receive distributions from the trust account.

 

    Section G prohibits Cambridge from issuing any shares of common stock, any securities convertible into common stock, or any securities which participate in or are otherwise entitled in any manner to any of the proceeds in the trust account or which vote as a class with the common stock on a business combination, prior to the consummation of a business combination.

 

    Section H provides that the board of directors is divided into three classes.

In the judgment of Cambridge’s board of directors, the charter proposals are desirable for the following reasons:

 

    The name of the new public entity is desirable to reflect the transaction with Ability and the combined business going forward.

 

118


Table of Contents
    The greater number of authorized number of shares of capital stock is desirable for Holdco to have sufficient shares to issue to the holders of common stock and warrants of Cambridge and capital stock of Ability to complete the business combination and have additional authorized shares for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits.

 

    Although the present amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Cambridge’s corporate existence will terminate if a business combination is not consummated, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations and Holdco’s board of directors believes it is the most appropriate period for Holdco.

 

    The preamble and Article Sixth (other than Section H providing for a classified board) relate to the operation of Cambridge as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination and would not be applicable to Holdco after consummation of the merger. Accordingly, they would serve no further purpose.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorized but unissued ordinary shares may enable Holdco’s board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Holdco and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of Holdco’s ordinary shares. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, Holdco’s board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal were not in the best interests of Holdco, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without shareholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effect effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The authorization of additional shares of common stock will, however, enable Holdco to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. Holdco currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized shares for such purposes.

If the merger proposal is not approved, the charter proposals will not be presented at the special meeting.

The approval of each charter proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Cambridge common stock on the record date.

Under the merger agreement, the approval of the charter proposals is not a condition to the consummation of the merger. However, because Cambridge does not currently have a sufficient number of authorized shares to consummate the share exchange, the charter proposals must be approved to effectuate the business combination. Accordingly, the approval of the charter proposals is a condition to the adoption of the merger proposal and vice versa.

A copy of Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as it will be in effect assuming approval of all of the charter proposals and upon consummation of the business combination and filing with the Cayman Islands authorities, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F .

CAMBRIDGE’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE CHARTER PROPOSALS.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Holdco is an exempted company incorporated under the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands law and Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will govern the rights of its shareholders. The Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the memorandum and articles of association will differ in certain material respects from the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Cambridge. As a result, when you become a shareholder of Holdco, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a stockholder of Cambridge. Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of Cambridge and Holdco according to applicable law and/or the organizational documents of Cambridge and Holdco. You also should review the memorandum and articles of association of Holdco (as same will be amended and restated immediately prior to the business combination) attached as Annex F to this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, to understand how these laws apply to Cambridge and Holdco.

THE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PROPOSAL

General

On November 18, 2015, the Board of Directors of Holdco adopted the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), subject to the approval of Cambridge’s stockholders. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain personnel of the highest caliber, provide incentive for officers, directors, employees and other key persons and to promote the well-being of the Company, it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to provide to officers, directors, employees, consultants and other independent contractors who perform services for the Company, through the granting of stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards, the opportunity to participate in the value and/or appreciation in value of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, the Board believes that the 2015 Plan (a) will provide the Company with significant means to attract and retain talented personnel, (b) will result in saving cash, which otherwise would be required to maintain current employees and adequately attract and reward personnel and others who perform services for the Company, and (c) consequently, will prove beneficial to the Company’s ability to be competitive. The Ability shareholders will not be eligible to participate in the 2015 Plan.

If approved by Cambridge stockholders at the meeting, the 2015 Plan will become effective on the consummation of the merger. Cambridge’s Board is recommending that its stockholders approve the material terms of the 2015 Plan as described below.

Summary of the 2015 Plan

Awards

The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards (collectively, “Awards”): (a) stock options, (b) restricted stock, (c) deferred stock and (d) other stock-based awards. Awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, as determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee (as defined below). Subject to anti-dilution adjustments as provided in the 2015 Plan, (i) the 2015 Plan provides for a total of 8% of the outstanding ordinary shares following the closing of the business combination to be available for distribution pursuant to the 2015 Plan, and subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, all of such shares may be granted or measured to any participant under the 2015 Plan during any calendar year or part thereof. If any outstanding Award is canceled, forfeited, delivered to the Company as payment for the exercise price or surrendered to the Company for tax withholding purposes, ordinary shares allocable to such Award may again be available for Awards under the 2015 Plan.

Administration. The 2015 Plan may be administered by the Board of Directors of Holdco (the “Board”) or a Committee (the “Committee”) consisting of two or more members of the Board of Directors appointed by the Board. Each member of the Committee shall to the extent practicable, be “non-employee directors” for the purpose of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and, if practicable, shall also qualify as “outside directors” for the purpose of the performance-based compensation exception under Code Section 162(m) except to the extent that the Board determines that such compliance is not necessary or that it is not desirable or that it is not practicable. The Board or the Committee will determine, among other things, the persons to whom Awards will be granted, the type of Awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each Award and the share price. The Board or the Committee will also determine the term of each Award, the restrictions or limitations thereon, and the manner in which each such Award may be exercised or, if applicable, the extent and circumstances under which ordinary shares and other amounts payable with respect to an Award will be deferred. The Board or Committee may delegate some of the functions referred to above to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2015 Plan.

Table of Contents

Eligibility and Participation. Officers and other employees of Holdco or any Parent or Subsidiary (but excluding any person whose eligibility would adversely affect the compliance of the 2015 Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3) who are at the time of the grant of an award under the Plan employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, other than Messrs. Hurgin and Aurovsky, and who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of Holdco or any Parent or Subsidiary are eligible to be granted Options or other Awards under the 2015 Plan. In addition, Non-Qualified Stock Options and other Awards may be granted under the 2015 Plan to any person, including, but not limited to, directors, independent agents, consultants and attorneys who the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, believes has contributed or will contribute to the success of the Company. Eligibility under the 2015 Plan shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be.

A participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve Holdco as a director, executive officer, other key employee, or otherwise, will not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a participant under the 2015 Plan. Participants may receive one or more Awards under the 2015 Plan.

Forms of Awards

Stock Options . The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine those persons to whom Stock Options may be granted.

Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan are nontransferable by the optionee during his lifetime. Options granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan will expire if not exercised within 10 years of the grant (five years in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to an eligible employee owning stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all shares of the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company immediately before the grant (“10% Stockholder”)), and under certain circumstances set forth in the 2015 Plan, may be exercised within three (3) months following termination of employment (one year in the event of death, retirement at normal retirement age or disability of the optionee), unless the term of the option, pursuant to the stock option agreement, expires earlier or unless the Board or Committee determines to shorten or extend the exercise periods. Options may be granted to optionees in such amounts and at such prices as may be determined, from time to time, by the Board or the Committee. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option will not be less than the fair market value of the shares underlying the option on the date the option is granted, provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be less than such fair market value on the date of grant.

Under the 2015 Plan, the Company may not, in the aggregate, grant Incentive Stock Options that are first exercisable by any optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of the optionee’s employer corporation and its “parent” and “subsidiary” corporations, as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code) to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the underlying stock (determined at the time the option is granted) exceeds $100,000.

The 2015 Plan contains anti-dilution provisions authorizing appropriate adjustments in certain circumstances. Shares of Common Stock subject to Awards which expire without being exercised or which are cancelled as a result of the cessation of employment are available for further grants. No ordinary shares of Holdco may be issued upon the exercise of any option granted under the 2015 Plan until the full option price has been paid by the optionee. The Board of Directors or the Committee may grant individual options under the 2015 Plan with more stringent provisions than those specified in the 2015 Plan.

Options become exercisable in such amounts, at such intervals and upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or the Committee provides. Stock options granted under the 2015 Plan are exercisable until the earlier of (i) a date set by the Board of Directors or Committee at the time of grant or (ii) the close of business on

 

124


Table of Contents

the day before the tenth anniversary of the stock option’s date of grant (the day before the fifth anniversary in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder). The 2015 Plan will remain in effect until all stock options are exercised or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no options may be granted on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Restricted and Deferred Stock Awards. Under the 2015 Plan, the Board or the Committee may grant shares of restricted Common Stock either alone or in tandem with other Awards. Restricted and Deferred Stock awards give the recipient the right to receive a specified number of shares of Common Stock, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Board or the Committee deems appropriate. Restrictions may include limitations on the right to transfer the stock until the expiration of a specified period of time and forfeiture of the stock upon the occurrence of certain events such as the termination of employment prior to expiration of a specified period of time. In addition, a participant in the 2015 Plan who has received a Deferred Stock Award may request, under certain conditions, the Board or the Committee to defer the receipt of an Award (or an installment of an Award) for an additional specified period or until the occurrence of a specified event.

Performance-Based Awards and Performance Goals. Certain Awards made under the 2015 Plan may be granted so that they qualify as “performance-based compensation” (as this term is used in Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder) and are exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Code Section 162(m) (these Awards are referred to as “Performance-Based Awards”). Under Code Section 162(m), the Company’s tax deduction may be limited to the extent total compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer, or any of the four most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) exceeds $1,000,000 in any one tax year. Among other criteria, Awards only qualify as Performance-Based Awards if at the time of grant the Committee is administrating the 2015 Plan and the Committee is comprised solely of two or more “outside directors” (as this term is used in Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder). In addition, the Company must obtain stockholder approval of material terms of performance goals for such “performance-based compensation.”

By approving the 2015 Plan, stockholders are also approving the material terms of the performance measures set forth in the 2015 Plan that form the basis upon which the Board or the Committee may issue Performance-Based Awards.

Under the 2015 Plan, the Board of the Committee may use the following performance measures (either individually or in any combination) to set performance targets with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards: net sales; pretax income before allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; pre-tax income before FAS 123R expense; budget; earnings per share; net income; division, group or corporate financial goals; return on stockholders’ equity; return on assets; return on net assets; return on investment capital; gross margin return on investment; gross margin dollars or percent; payroll as a percentage of sales; inventory turnover; employee turnover; sales, general and administrative expense; attainment of strategic and operational initiatives; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of Common Stock or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company , if any; market share; gross profits; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; economic value-added models; comparisons with various stock market indices; and/or reductions in costs. The foregoing criteria shall have any reasonable definitions that the Committee may specify, which may include or exclude any or all of the following items as the Committee may specify: extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items; effects of accounting changes; effects of financing activities; expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; other non-operating items; spending for acquisitions; effects of divestitures; and effects of litigation activities and settlements. Any such performance criterion or combination of such criteria may apply to the participant’s Award opportunity in its entirety or to any designated portion or portions of the Award opportunity, as the Committee may specify.

All Stock Options and certain Stock Awards, Performance Awards, and Other Awards granted under the 2015 Plan, and the compensation attributable to such Awards, are intended to (i) qualify as Performance-Based Awards or (ii) be otherwise exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Code Section 162(m).

 

125


Table of Contents

Other Stock Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards, which may include performance shares and shares valued by reference to the performance of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, may be granted either alone or in tandem with other Awards.

Effect of a Change of Control

Upon a “Change of Control” (as defined in the 2015 Plan) unless a majority of the Board determines otherwise prior to such Change of Control, generally, all outstanding Stock Options which have been outstanding for at least one year shall become exercisable in full, whether or not exercisable at the time and any such option shall remain exercisable in full until it expires pursuant to its terms and all restrictions and deferral limitations contained in any Restricted Stock Award, Deferred Stock Award and Other Stock-Based Award granted under the 2015 Plan shall lapse. All restrictions and deferral limitations with respect to a 409A Deferred Stock Award or with respect to a Participant’s Deferred Restricted Stock Account shall not lapse unless the “Change of Control” qualifies as a “409A Change” (as defined in the 2015 Plan).

Termination of Employment

The 2015 Plan provides for certain periods after termination of employment during which a participant may exercise a Stock Option if employment is terminated due to death or disability or normal retirement, as defined in the 2015 Plan. A participant whose employment is terminated for any reason, including, without limitation, retirement, death or disability, forfeits all unvested, unexercisable and unearned Awards granted to the participant. Except as set forth above the Board or Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the post-employment rights of a participant with respect to an Award that was vested or earned prior to termination. The 2015 Plan’s provisions relating to termination of employment may be modified in the discretion of the Board or Committee.

Term and Amendment

The 2015 Plan will become effective as of the Effective Date and no award will be granted more than ten years after the Effective Date. The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend any of the provisions of the 2015 Plan, and may at any time suspend or terminate the 2015 Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective unless and until it has been duly approved by the holders of the outstanding shares of Stock if the failure to obtain such approval would adversely affect the compliance of the 2015 Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, rule or regulation. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other award theretofore granted under the Plan; provided, however, that subject to certain provisions of the 2015 Plan, no such amendment may be made by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, which in any material respect impairs the rights of the Participant without the Participant’s consent, except for such amendments which are made to cause the 2015 Plan to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3. Moreover, no Stock Option previously granted under the 2015 Plan may be amended to reduce the exercise price of the Stock Option. Additionally, the Board or the Committee may amend the 2015 Plan in order to comply with local regulations as may be required for certain employees in other jurisdictions.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following information is not intended to be a complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of participation in the 2015 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by references to the Code and the regulations adopted under the Code. The provisions of the Code described in this section include current tax law only and do not reflect any proposals to revise current tax law. The federal income tax consequences applicable to officers, directors, and other persons who are subject to potential liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act may be different than the federal income tax consequences applicable to persons who are not subject to Section 16(b). The federal income tax consequences applicable to all persons, whether or not subject to Section 16(b), are described below.

Incentive Stock Options. Generally, under the Code, an optionee will not realize taxable income by reason of the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan (see, however, discussion of

 

126


Table of Contents

alternative minimum tax below). If an optionee exercises an Incentive Stock Option and does not dispose of the shares until the later of (i) two years from the date the option was granted and (ii) one year from the date of exercise, the entire gain, if any, realized upon disposition of such shares will be taxable to the optionee as long-term capital gain, and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction. If an optionee disposes of the shares within the period of two years from the date of grant or one year from the date of exercise (referred to as a “disqualifying disposition”), the optionee generally will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition and the Company will receive a corresponding deduction in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the lesser of (a) the amount, if any, realized on the disposition and (b) the fair market value of the shares on the date the option was exercised over (ii) the option price. Any additional gain realized on the disposition will be short-term or long-term capital gain and any loss will be long-term or short-term capital loss. The optionee will be considered to have disposed of a share if he or she sells, exchanges, makes a gift of or transfers legal title to the share (except transfers, among others, by pledge, on death or to a spouse). If the disposition is by sale or exchange, the optionee’s tax basis will equal the amount paid for the shares plus any ordinary income realized as a result of the disqualifying disposition.

The exercise of an Incentive Stock Option may subject the optionee to the so-called “alternative minimum tax” (referred to as “AMT”). The amount by which the fair market value of the shares purchased at the time of the exercise exceeds the option exercise price is an adjustment for purposes of computing the AMT. In the event of a disqualifying disposition of the shares in the same taxable year as exercise of the Incentive Stock Option, no adjustment is then required for purposes of the AMT, but regular income tax, as described above, may result from such disqualifying disposition.

An optionee who surrenders shares as payment of the exercise price of his or her Incentive Stock Option generally will not recognize gain or loss on his or her surrender of such shares. The surrender of shares previously acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option in payment of the exercise price of another Incentive Stock Option, is, however, a “disposition” of such stock. If the Incentive Stock Option holding period requirements described above have not been satisfied with respect to such stock, such disposition will be a disqualifying disposition that may cause the optionee to recognize ordinary income as discussed above.

Under the Code, all of the shares received by an optionee upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by surrendering shares will be subject to the Incentive Stock Option holding period requirements. Of those shares, a number of shares (referred to as the “Exchange Shares”) equal to the number of shares surrendered by the optionee will have the same tax basis for capital gains purposes (increased by any ordinary income recognized as a result of a disqualifying disposition of the surrendered shares if they were Incentive Stock Option shares) and the same capital gains holding period as the shares surrendered.

For purposes of determining ordinary income upon a subsequent disqualifying disposition of the Exchange Shares, the amount paid for such shares will be deemed to be the fair market value of the shares surrendered. The balance of the shares received by the optionee will have a tax basis (and a deemed purchase price) of zero and a capital gains holding period beginning on the date of exercise. The Incentive Stock Option holding period for all shares will be the same as if the option had been exercised for cash.

Non-Qualified Stock Options. Generally, there will be no federal income tax consequences to either the optionee or the Company on the grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan. On the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the optionee has taxable ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the exercise date over the option price of the shares. The Company will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction (subject to the limitations contained in Code Section 162(m)) in an amount equal to such excess, provided that the Company complies with applicable reporting rules.

Upon the sale of stock acquired by exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, optionees will realize long-term or short-term capital gain or loss depending upon their holding period for such stock. For individuals, capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains for the year plus $3,000. An optionee who surrenders shares in payment of the exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option will not recognize gain or loss with respect to the

 

127


Table of Contents

shares so delivered unless such shares were acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and the delivery of such shares is a disqualifying disposition. See “Incentive Stock Options.” The optionee will recognize ordinary income on the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option as described above. Of the shares received in such an exchange, that number of shares equal to the number of shares surrendered have the same tax basis and capital gains holding period as the shares surrendered. The balance of shares received will have a tax basis equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise and the capital gains holding period will begin on the date of exercise.

Stock Awards. The taxability of a Stock Award to a participant is dependent upon the extent to which the award is restricted on the date of grant. If a Stock Award is either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant will recognize taxable ordinary income on the date of grant. If a Stock Award is both non-transferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture on the date of grant, then unless an election is made as described below, a participant will not recognize taxable ordinary income on the date of grant, but will at such time or times as the Stock Award becomes either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares at that time. Within thirty days of receipt of a Stock Award that is not transferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant may file an election with the Internal Revenue Service to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares subject to the award at the time of receipt. In such event, any subsequent appreciation in the value of such shares will not be taxable as compensation to a participant upon the vesting of shares subject to the award. However, if shares subject to the award are forfeited subsequent to such election, a participant will not be entitled to a tax deduction. For purposes of determining the amount of taxable gain or loss upon a subsequent disposition of shares issued pursuant to such an award, the amount recognized as ordinary income to a participant will be treated as the cost basis for such shares. Shares which are held for more than one year after vesting (or in the event of an election as described above, the date of receipt) generally will qualify for long-term capital gain treatment. The Company will be entitled to a deduction in such amount and at such time as ordinary income becomes taxable to the participant.

Performance Awards. The tax consequences of a performance award depend upon the nature of the underlying award and if and when the performance goals are achieved. If a performance award consists of a promise to deliver common stock at a future date based upon the satisfaction of certain targets, such awards will be subject to federal income taxation as ordinary income based upon the fair market value of the common stock on the date such performance awards are earned by a participant by satisfying the performance targets, provided such awards are not then subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

Company Deduction. Generally, whenever a participant realizes ordinary income under the Stock Incentive Plan, a corresponding deduction is available to the Company provided the Company complies with certain reporting requirements. Under Code Section 162(m), however, the Company will be denied a deduction for certain compensation exceeding $1,000,000 paid to its Chief Executive Officer and the four other highest paid executive officers, excluding (among other things) certain performance-based compensation.

New Plan Benefits

The benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to any executive officers or employees under the 2015 Plan are not currently determinable since no specific grants have been decided upon and no grants will be made prior to the 2015 Plan’s adoption.

Required Vote

Adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Cambridge’s common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

THE CAMBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT CAMBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE 2015 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal allows Cambridge’s board of directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the business combination. In no event will Cambridge solicit proxies to adjourn the special meeting or consummate the business combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law. The purpose of the adjournment proposal is to provide more time for the Cambridge initial stockholders, Ability and the Ability shareholders to make purchases of public shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the merger proposal and to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the business combination. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Interests of Cambridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination .”

In addition to an adjournment of the special meeting upon approval of an adjournment proposal, the board of directors of Cambridge is empowered under Delaware law to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order. In such event, Cambridge will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its stockholders of the postponement.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

If an adjournment proposal is presented to the meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, Cambridge’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the business combination (because either the merger proposal is not approved or the conditions to consummating the business combination have not been met). In such event, the business combination would not be completed.

Required Vote

Adoption of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Cambridge’s common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Adoption of the adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

THE CAMBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT CAMBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO CAMBRIDGE

Introduction

Cambridge was incorporated on October 1, 2013 in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business. Cambridge’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to any particular industry or geographic region although it focused its search for target businesses that operated in the supply chain industry, with an emphasis on target businesses that operated in the traditional transportation and logistics end of the supply chain industry. Prior to executing the merger agreement with Ability, Cambridge’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Formation

In October 2013, Cambridge issued 2,012,500 shares of common stock to Cambridge Capital LLC and The Gordon Family 2007 Trust for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.01 per share as follows:

Initial Public Offering

On December 23, 2013, Cambridge consummated its initial public offering of 7,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to acquire one share of common stock at a price of $11.50. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $70,000,000. On December 30, 2013, Cambridge consummated the sale of an additional 1,050,000 units that were subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for aggregate additional proceeds of $10,500,000. EarlyBirdCapital acted as the representative of the underwriters for the initial public offering. The shares of common stock and warrants comprising the units commenced separate trading on January 27, 2014.

Simultaneously with each of the consummation of the initial public offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option, Cambridge consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 472,125 private units to its

 

130


Table of Contents

initial stockholders, Cambridge Capital LLC, an affiliate of Cambridge’s chief executive officer and EarlyBirdCapital and their respective designees. The private units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,721,250. The private units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering, except that the warrants included in the private units are not redeemable and are exercisable on a cashless basis as long as held by the original purchasers or their permitted transferees. In addition, the holders of the private unit securities have agreed (A) to vote the underlying shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such a business combination, (C) not to convert any underlying shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that such underlying shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The purchasers have agreed that these units will not be sold or transferred by them (except to certain permitted transferees) until after Cambridge has completed an initial business combination.

Offering Proceeds Held in Trust

The net proceeds from the initial public offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), plus the net proceeds from the private placement of private units, or an aggregate of $81,305,000, was placed in a trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except as described in the prospectus for Cambridge’s initial public offering and in the section entitled “ Other Information Related to Cambridge — Cambridge’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ,” these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and Cambridge’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon its failure to consummate a business combination within the required time period.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The target business or businesses that Cambridge acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination, although Cambridge may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. Cambridge’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination with Ability.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

Under Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in connection with any proposed business combination, Cambridge must seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to convert their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination, subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for Cambridge’s initial public offering. Accordingly, in connection with the business combination with Ability, the Cambridge public stockholders may seek to convert their public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

In connection with any vote for a proposed business combination, including the vote with respect to the merger proposal, all of Cambridge’s initial stockholders, as well as all of its officers and directors, have agreed to vote the initial shares, shares included in the private units as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket in favor of such proposed business combination.

 

131


Table of Contents

Benjamin Gordon, Cambridge’s chief executive officer, purchased an aggregate of 5,000 shares of common stock in open market transactions at then prevailing market prices. No other directors or officers of Cambridge have purchased any securities of Cambridge in any open market transactions. However, at any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Cambridge or its securities, the Cambridge initial stockholders, Ability or Ability’s shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Cambridge’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the business combination be approved where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. All shares repurchased by Cambridge’s affiliates pursuant to such arrangements would be voted in favor of the proposed business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

Under Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if Cambridge does not complete the business combination with Ability or another initial business combination by December 23, 2015, Cambridge will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account (currently anticipated to be approximately $10.10 per share) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Cambridge’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to Cambridge’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. At such time, the warrants will expire. Holders of warrants will receive nothing upon a liquidation with respect to such rights and the warrants will be worthless.

Each of Cambridge’s initial stockholders has agreed to waive its rights to participate in any distribution from Cambridge’s trust account or other assets with respect to the initial shares and shares underlying the private units. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to Cambridge’s warrants, which will expire worthless if Cambridge is liquidated.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Cambridge’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of the Cambridge public stockholders. Although Cambridge has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses Cambridge has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, and although Cambridge will seek such waivers from vendors it engages in the future, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Each executive officer of Cambridge has agreed, pursuant to an agreement with Cambridge and EarlyBirdCapital that he will be jointly and severally personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Cambridge for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Cambridge, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver. Moreover, such executives will not be personally liable to the Cambridge public stockholders and instead will only have liability to Cambridge. However, neither of the executives may be able to satisfy his indemnification obligations if he is required to so as Cambridge has not required such executives to retain any assets to provide for their respective indemnification obligations, nor has Cambridge taken any further steps to ensure that such executives will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that arise. Accordingly, the actual per-share redemption price could be less than approximately $10.10, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. Additionally, if Cambridge is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account

 

132


Table of Contents

could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Cambridge’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Cambridge’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, Cambridge cannot assure you it will be able to return to the Cambridge public stockholders at least approximately $10.10 per share. Cambridge’s public stockholders are entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of its failure to complete a business combination within the required time periods or if the stockholders properly seek to have Cambridge convert their respective shares for cash upon a business combination which is actually completed by Cambridge. In no other circumstances does a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The portion of Cambridge’s trust account distributed to the Cambridge public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its outstanding public shares in the event Cambridge does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the portion of Cambridge’s trust account distributed to the Cambridge public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its public shares in the event Cambridge does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution. If Cambridge is unable to complete a business combination within the prescribed time frame, it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Cambridge public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Cambridge’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, if a business combination does not occur, it is Cambridge’s intention to redeem its public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the expiration of the time periods described above and, therefore, Cambridge does not intend to comply with the procedures required by Section 280 of the DGCL, which would limit the amount and duration of Cambridge’s stockholders’ liability with respect to liquidating distributions as described above. As such, Cambridge’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Cambridge’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because Cambridge will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Cambridge to adopt a plan, based on facts known to it at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. However, because Cambridge is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and Cambridge’s operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from its vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.

Cambridge will pay the costs of any subsequent liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, each of the executives of the Company has agreed to pay the funds necessary to

 

133

complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and has agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Facilities

Cambridge currently maintains its principal executive offices at 525 South Flagler Drive, Suite 201, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per-month fee Cambridge Capital LLC, an affiliate of Benjamin Gordon, charges Cambridge for general and administrative services pursuant to a letter agreement between us and Cambridge Capital LLC. Cambridge believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in West Palm Beach, Florida, that the fee charged by Cambridge Capital LLC is at least as favorable as Cambridge could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. Cambridge considers its current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to its executive officers, adequate for its current operations. Upon consummation of the business combination, the principal executive offices of Holdco will be located at Yad Harutzim 14, Tel Aviv, Israel, 6770007 and its telephone number will be 972-3-6879777, at which time nothing more will be paid to Cambridge Capital LLC.

Employees

Cambridge has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Cambridge’s matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to its affairs. Cambridge does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Legal Proceedings

Cambridge, the members of the Cambridge board of directors and Parakou Tankers, Inc. (‘Parakou”) were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Brian Levy v. Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corp., et al., No. 2015 CA 003339 in connection with Cambridge’s proposed business combination with Parakou, which was terminated on May 6, 2015. The complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit of Palm Beach County, Florida (the “Action”) by a person identifying himself as a stockholder of Cambridge. On October 15, 2015, a first amended and restated derivative complaint captioned Brian Levy v. Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corp., et al., No. 2015 CA 003339 was filed. The amended complaint added Holdco and Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd. as additional defendants.

The complaint generally alleges, among other things, that the members of the Cambridge board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to Cambridge stockholders by approving the contemplated merger with Ability and that Ability is aiding and abetting the Cambridge board of directors in the alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint also alleges that Cambridge was obligated to liquidate on June 23, 2015 and redeem the outstanding public shares from the funds held in the trust fund and that the efforts to violate Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation are ultra vires and therefore void acts. The complaint further alleges that Cambridge’s directors have various conflicts of interest in the transaction and that such conflicts of interest are not adequately disclosed to stockholders in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus that the Company filed with the SEC on September 17, 2015 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). The Action seeks injunctive relief, damages and reimbursement of fees and costs, among other remedies.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

Cambridge has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, Cambridge’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by Cambridge’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Cambridge’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of Cambridge’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Cambridge’s consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a more detailed discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies, please see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Conversion

Cambridge accounts for its common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory conversion (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally convertible common stock (including common stock that features conversion rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to conversion upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within Cambridge’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Cambridge’s common stock features certain conversion rights that are considered by Cambridge to be outside of

Table of Contents

Cambridge’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the common stock subject to possible conversion is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of Cambridge’s balance sheet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Results of Operations

Cambridge has not generated any revenues to date. Cambridge’s entire activity from inception up to the closing of the initial public offering on December 23, 2013 was in preparation for that event. Subsequent to the offering, Cambridge’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and Cambridge will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of an initial business combination. Cambridge expects to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income is not expected to be significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (treasury securities). Cambridge expects to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. Cambridge expects its expenses to increase substantially after this period.

Cambridge incurred net losses of $444,974 and $223,224 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and net losses of $1,012,497 and $678,459 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Costs incurred during the reporting periods consisted primarily of legal and professional fees associated with compliance with Cambridge’s reporting obligations as a public company, Cambridge’s efforts to locate a suitable target Business Combination candidate, and performing due diligence on such candidates. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, Cambridge also incurred $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, and $90,000 and $90,000 for the nine months ended September 30 2015 and 2014, respectively, of office expenses payable to Cambridge Capital LLC, a related party. Until Cambridge consummates a Business Combination, it will not have revenues.

Cambridge incurred net losses of $914,698 and $8,329 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period from October 1, 2013 (inception) through December 31, 2013, respectively. Costs incurred during the reporting periods consisted primarily of legal and professional fees associated with compliance with our reporting obligations as a public company, our efforts to locate a suitable business combination candidate, and performing due diligence on such candidates. During the year ended December 31, 2014 and the period from October 1, 2013 (inception) through December 31, 2013, Cambridge incurred $120,000 and $4,667, respectively of office expenses payable to Cambridge Capital LLC, a related party.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The net proceeds from Cambridge’s initial public offering and private placement, after deducting underwriting discounts of $2,616,250 and offering expenses of $507,525, were $82,097,475. Of this amount, $81,305,000 was placed in the trust account. The remaining $792,475 of net proceeds not in trust have been, and will continue to be, used for working capital purposes.

 

138


Table of Contents

Cambridge intends to use the net proceeds of its initial public offering and simultaneous private placement, including the funds held in the trust account, to acquire a target business and to pay its expenses relating thereto, including $2,415,000, representing 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the offering, to engage the underwriter to advise and assist the Company in reviewing potential targets with which the Company may consummate a Business Combination, as well as structuring the terms of the Business Combination and negotiating the terms of the letter of intent and/or definitive agreement relating to such Business Combination only upon completion of Cambridge’s initial Business Combination. To the extent that Cambridge’s capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account, as well as any other net proceeds not expended, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees, which Cambridge had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

Generally, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be released to Cambridge until the earlier of its completion of an initial Business Combination and its redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon our failure to consummate a Business Combination prior to December 23, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be released to Cambridge from the trust account (1) any interest earned on the funds in the trust account that it needs to pay its income or other tax obligations and (2) any remaining interest earned on the funds in the trust account that it needs for its working capital requirements.

As of September 30, 2015, Cambridge had $47,947 in its operating bank accounts and $81,310,750 in restricted investments and cash equivalents held in trust to be used for an initial Business Combination or to repurchase or convert its common shares. As of September 30, 2015, $5,750 of the amount on deposit in the trust account represents interest income, which was available to be withdrawn by us as described above. Through November 12, 2015, Cambridge had withdrawn $40,678 from the interest income on the trust account to fund its working capital and tax obligations.

Until consummation of our initial Business Combination, we will be using the funds not held in the trust account, plus the interest earned on the trust account balance (net of income, and other tax obligations) that may be released to us to fund our working capital requirements, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Cambridge will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. None of Cambridge’s shareholders, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. Accordingly, Cambridge may not be able to obtain additional financing. If Cambridge is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. Cambridge cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our sponsors, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we consummate our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Such loans may be convertible into shares of common stock of the post Business Combination entity or additional

Private Units at a price of $10.00 per share or Private Unit at the option of the lender. We believe the $10.00 purchase price of these shares will approximate the fair value of such shares when issued. However, if it is determined, at the time of issuance, that the fair value of such shares exceeds the $10.00 purchase price, we would record compensation expense for the excess of the fair value of the shares on the day of issuance over the $10.00 purchase price in accordance with ASC 718 — Compensation — Stock Compensation.

Commencing on December 17, 2013 and ending upon the consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, Cambridge began incurring a fee payable to Cambridge Capital LLC of $10,000 per month for providing it with office space and certain general and administrative services.

BUSINESS OF ABILITY

In this section, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to Ability, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

O VERVIEW

Ability provides advanced interception, monitoring and cyber intelligence tools to serve the needs and increasing challenges of security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. We believe that our advanced comprehensive capabilities in both the areas of interception of communications and the decryption of such communications set us apart from our competitors.

Founded in 1994 by a team of experts in intelligence and communications, with further input by specialists in the fields of electronics and mathematics, we have nearly two decades of proven experience in the fields of interception and decryption. We specialize in off-air interception of voice, SMS, and data from both cellular (GSM/CDMA) and satellite communication networks and deciphering solutions for both cellular and satellite communications. We have introduced advanced systems to cover satellite interception for the major mobile satellite communication systems, Iridium, Thuraya and Inmarsat. Our interception systems can be used either as portable stand-alone tactical systems or can be integrated with larger scale strategic systems. We also offer a system that can detect the existence of active interception systems such as active cellular interception systems, fake SMS advertising systems and IMSI/IMEI catchers, can prevent interception by such systems and “intercept the interceptor”, allowing the user to listen to and manipulate the intercepted information.

Our product portfolio also includes an advanced geo-location system, cyber solution and crime prevention system. Our geo-location system is used to geographically target mobile phones and is sold independently or as an additional feature of our active interception system. Our cyber solution provides the user with the ability to extract and view information from a mobile phone and listen to communications over the phone. Our crime prevention solution, which has not yet been commercialized, is designed as a software solution to analyze information extracted from mobile phones and provide predictive data.

We sell to our customers a variety of products and also offer customized solutions designed to meet their specific needs. Our solutions include both active and passive capabilities. While an active system can capture high volumes of information and often features multiple manipulation possibilities concerning the connections of the target, its use can generally be detected by third parties. A passive system has no transmitting parts and does not interfere with GSM networks, mobile phones or satellite communication, therefore remaining undetectable.

We work closely with our customers to design solutions for their specific configuration needs, including facilitating integration with larger scale systems. Our solutions can be configured to provide partial solutions for legacy equipment that is already in place. Furthermore, most of our systems are scalable in functionality, capacity, coverage area and communications protocol types in order to meet the budgets and growing needs of our customers.

Our systems are available either as tactical, transportable solutions or as strategic, fixed installations and can be installed in many fixed or transportable configurations, including in vehicles, ships, aerial platforms and on personnel.

Our headquarters, operations and sales office are located in Tel Aviv, Israel.

I NDUSTRY

The increasing threat of global terrorism as well as ordinary criminal activity over the past few decades has created a demand for the increased ability of military intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies to

 

142


Table of Contents

intercept communications upon which such activity is based and to decipher these communications. We believe interception of communications has become the most crucial task in intelligence and surveillance. Reliable, portable, robust solutions are critical to the success of any such operation.

In response to this need, we have created industry-leading integrated solutions to cover the many facets of communications interception and decryption. We provide solutions to a variety of customer needs, with both off-the-shelf and customized systems for customers around the world.

The customer’s operational demands are becoming increasingly diverse and extensive due to advances in technology of the targeted communications, requiring industry participants to enhance their offerings to include advanced location and cyber solutions and solutions for new generations of GSM communications, such as 4G/LTE and planned 5G networks.

The tactical lawful interception industry is dominated by a limited number of international suppliers, including Ability. We believe that entry into this market by new participants is limited due to the nature of government agencies that comprise the market and customers. Although this market has continually grown due to increased threats, we believe that the number of suppliers has not grown significantly due to barriers to entry into the market, providing long-time market participants such as Ability with a significant opportunity to capitalize on the anticipated growth.

A BILITY S OLUTIONS

In the area of cellular communications, we introduce turn-key integrated solutions for all GSM and CDMA networks for mobile phones including 3G and 4G/LTE. These solutions provide real-time off-air interception, robust, ultra-portable design and user-friendly operations. Our fully passive cellular interception solutions are based on state-of-the-art technology and extensive field experience. We also provide active GSM interception systems and IMSI/IMEI catchers, which are eavesdropping devices used for intercepting mobile phone traffic and tracking of mobile phone users. Ability believes that it was the first company to introduce near real-time deciphering capability to break the GSM advanced encryption algorithm (A-5/1), which it accomplished in 2007.

With respect to satellite communications, we introduced a field-proven, cutting-edge solutions for IRIDIUM, Thuraya and Inmarsat satellite-based communications. Ability believes that it was the first company to introduce an interception solution for IRIDIUM and deciphering solutions for Thuraya in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Cellular Interception

IBIS

IBIS is a stand-alone solution used for undetectable off-air interrogation, interception, monitoring and deception of tactical GSM communication in a seamless way, without requiring cooperation from the network provider on which the targeted device is operated. IBIS is an advanced integrated solution that includes all relevant sub systems in a single unit, allows the user to scan, analyze, intercept, monitor, record and track GSM mobile phones for voice and SMS communication data and call-related information, regardless of whether they are encrypted by A5/1, A5/2 or A5/3 encryption.

IBIS can be operated locally by the system laptop or by LAN or via WiFi, by remote laptop. The system consists of an interceptor, a laptop, an antenna and a power source. In most relevant jurisdictions, IBIS is restricted by law to be used by law enforcement agencies and authorized governmental agencies and it offers these customers a powerful tool to intercept and track GSM communication of all types. Because no external modules are required, setup of IBIS can be completed within few minutes. IBIS simultaneously accesses, operates on and supports all GSM frequency bands and detects mobile phone identities, including IMSI, IMEI, TMSI, MSISDN and Kc. The standard IBIS system intercepts up to six concurrent duplex calls but can be reconfigured to intercept additional concurrent calls. The IBIS user can control the level of service to target mobile phones and

 

143


Table of Contents

selectively jam specific mobile phones, call or SMS on behalf of target mobile phones, change SMS messages, detect change of SIM card or change of handset and support direction finding systems. By using the silent call function, a target mobile phone can be activated and traced by an external homing system. The IBIS user can make fake calls and send fake SMS messages to or from a target mobile phone.

The IBIS system can operate with a variety of power sources, which enables it to be installed and operated in many types of applications and environments, either in fixed or transportable installations, including in vehicles and ships, or can be carried by hand or in backpacks. We also provide an IBIS system compatible for airborne platforms. Applications of the IBIS airborne system include surveillance missions, border control, tracking of kidnappers and drug dealers, detection of active mobile phones in disaster areas and providing cellular service in catastrophe situations in which ground networks are not functioning.

3G-Cat

3G-Cat is a smart, compact and inexpensive 3G IMSI/IMEI/TMSI catcher. 3G-Cat has the ability to detect an unlimited number of 3G phones in an unlimited number of 3G networks in such frequency bands and collect the identities of such phones (IMSI, IMEI and TMSI) and display the phone model, country of origin and name of network provider. Additionally, 3G-Cat measures the distance to a given 3G phones within 30 meters and can detect the GPS coordinates of the target mobile phone, if the GPS on such target mobile phone is active. 3G-Cat can selectively force a target phone to migrate to 2G mode for interception by 2G interception systems such as our IBIS or AGIS solutions, while other phones remain in 3G mode. By pushing a target phone into 2G mode, the target phone remains in 2G mode until rebooted, allowing for possible interception of such phones by GSM passive interception systems. After interception is complete, 3G-Cat can send the target phone back to 3Gmode. Furthermore, 3G-Cat provides the ability to selectively block communication of a target 3G phone. 3G-Cat can be used either as a stand-alone device or integrated with Ability’s IBIS or GTReS systems. It can also be integrated into GSM interception systems of other vendors.

TouchDown

TouchDown is an active tactical 3G/UMTS interception, location and monitoring solution. TouchDown creates a virtual 3G network while emulating calls of the public network operating in an area. As a result, the 3G mobile phones in the area detect TouchDown’s vertical network, identify it as a real network, register to it and connect. Thereafter, TouchDown has access to the connected mobile phone and the TouchDown systems operate can take control of the phone’s traffic, intercept voice, SMS and data communications and/or precisely locate the target phone.

ACIS

ACIS is a fast, reliable, portable and undetectable interception device for cellular CDMA network traffic that intercepts and records off-the-air voice communication, SMS messages and other call-related data. ACIS automatically searches for active CDMA cellular network frequencies and active channels. ACIS consists of a laptop computer with interception software, a receiving and processing unit, antenna and power source when in mobile setup. Cooperation from network providers is not required and interception is completely transparent. ACIS works in all CDMAone and CDMA 2000 networks and supports all CDMA frequency bands, including 450 MHz, 800 MHz and 1900 MHz.

AGIS-51

AGIS-51 provides real-time GSM interception while using built-in deciphers for A5/1 and A5/2 encryption. The AGIS-51 system is integrated into one 19 inch unit, making it easily portable, and can operate with a variety of power sources such as an AC supply or battery, which enables it to be installed and operated in many types of applications and environments, either in fixed or transportable installations, including in vehicles, ships, helicopters and on personnel.

 

144


Table of Contents

AGIS-51’s basic configuration supports interception of eight duplex calls. AGIS-51 is a quad frequency band and can be tuned to the required GSM frequency band used in the specific operational area (850, EGSM-900, DCS-1800, PCS-1900 standard communication systems). All intercepted sessions and related data are stored in the system database for off-line playback and analysis. Although interception is fully passive, AGIS-51 provides the ability to detect the target’s phone number even if the number is not transmitted over the air. When this capability is used, AGIS-51 performs as a semi-passive system as it generates a silent call for this purpose.

Our ULIN (Ultimate Interceptor) was introduced in November 2015 for interception of voice calls, SMS messages and data communication and caller related information of GSM/UMTS/LTE phones. Unlike strategic lawful interception systems, ULIN does not require consent of mobile network operators. ULIN supports 2G/3G/4G communications. ULIN requires only the mobile device’s phone number or IMSI to start interception. Ulin detects dialing/dialed phone numbers and provides the location of participating mobile phones

Cellular Interception Detection and Prevention

Bird-Catcher

Our Bird-Catcher solution is able to detect various types of existing interception systems and prevent interception upon user detection. Bird-Catcher detects active interception systems such as IMSI/IMEI catchers and other active cellular interception systems, as well as fake SMS advertising. It operates on all existing cellular networks including GSM, UMTS and LTE. Bird-Catcher analyzes the data traffic collected by the detected devices and allows the user to act defensively or offensively. In the defensive mode, Bird-Catcher collects information regarding the type of system detected, the manufacturer’s name, the working mode of such system, the target list of the detected system and the content of any SMS advertisement. Finally, defensive mode allows the user to intercept the hostile system’s monitoring of the user. In offensive mode, Bird-Catcher allows the user to disrupt the functionality of the hostile system, eliminating its ability to intercept and geographically locate the hostile system by using a homing direction finder.

In addition to the traditional governmental market for our products, we believe certain additional government agencies are potential customers of the BirdCatcher. For example, embassies and consulates may wish to utilize BirdCatcher to defend against tactical interception systems.

Satellite Interception

IRIS

The Iridium satellite is a system of active communication satellites in orbit and on the ground. It allows voice and data communications using handheld satellite phones across the globe, including poles, oceans and airways, without any gaps. IRIS, our Iridium interception system, is a portable tactical system housed in an industrial lunchbox computer that intercepts information, including voice, SMS and data, in Iridium communication channels on the L Band, which is 1616 -1626.5 MHz. IRIS is completely passive, does not interfere with satellite communication and is therefore undetectable. IRIS can be easily installed in vehicles, ships, helicopters and on personnel.

ATIS-7

Our ATIS-7 system is designed to intercept information transmitted through Thuraya network channels. The Thuraya network is an advanced communication network of two satellites that covers the majority of Europe, Asia and Africa. ATIS-7 provide interception of voice, fax, SMS, data and call-related information, as well as a determination of the geographical position of Thuraya terminals. Additionally, ATIS-7 features continual operation, processing and storage of information, full-range, flexible retrieval of stored information on user demand and the ability to issue reports and recommendations based on stored information assessments.

 

145


Table of Contents

ATIS-7 is capable of intercepting communications between satellites and mobile phones within the operational range of the system. Our ATIS-7 system can intercept uplink and downlink, and accordingly, both sides of the call can be monitored, depending on interception conditions. All communications intercepted by ATIS-7 and related data are stored in the system database for off-line analysis and playback. In addition to the call-related data, when an uplink is intercepted, the user can obtain the handset location. ATIS-7 is offered in both tactical (L-band only) and strategic configuration (C-band with one or multiple L-band posts) and can be provided in various portable, remote control and fixed formats.

SLIS

Our SLIS system is intended for monitoring information transmitted through satellite communication channels. The information monitored by this system includes the satellite systems Intelsat, Eutelsat, Arabsat, Domsat, Indosat and other global or regional satellite communication operators. SLIS has the capacity to intercept the following communication links:

 

    E1/T1 standard, and their derivatives with various types of compression, including DCME and many others;

 

    public and private computer networks;

 

    different standards of the global VSAT system; and

 

    GSM-operators, including GSM-A and Abis.

The type of information that can be monitored from these sources activate voice communications, fax messages (analogue or digital), SMS communications and videoconferences and communication sessions using the Internet or private networks.

Deciphering

GSM Deciphers

DM51-28

Our DM51-28 deciphering system deciphers communications — voice, SMS and data over GSM networks that utilize A5/1 symmetric ciphers. DM51-28 is composed of one circuit board on ASIC components housed inside a ruggedized case and has an average deciphering time of 2.88 seconds.

RTDM51

RTDM51 is a powerful and portable real-time A5/1 decipher system which utilizes four circuit boards working in parallel to provide an average deciphering time of 0.72 seconds.

Geolocation

Hunter

Hunter is a strategic stand-alone geographic intelligence solution which provides accurate location information covertly and in real-time. Hunter provides a bird’s eye view of any mobile subscriber, virtually anywhere in the world, including inbound/outbound roamers, to the system operator, allowing the operator to respond to a perceived threat in real-time with tactical task force. In addition, the system presents additional information regarding the subscriber, such as status and location history.

Hunter is based on the system’s ability to send and handle standard signaling messages (MAP messages) covertly through the international SS7 networks, analyze it and present, in real time the subscriber’s status and location information by using a map view. Hunter does not require special hardware or software installation in either the cellular network or the mobile phone.

Hunter provides the system operator with a suite of operational tools including, the ability to (i) perform online inquiries for any GSM and UMTS target mobile phone in a defined area; (ii) create a “geo-fence” by defining a virtual perimeter around a location and triggering an alert when a mobile phone enters the perimeter; (ii) create routine behavior patterns to identify irregular or suspicious activities; and (iv) export data and distribute reports to enhance team collaboration.

The Hunter solution can also be used to assist operational agencies in a variety of operations, such as locating survivors during natural disasters and locating and tracking criminals.

Cyber

IMRE

IMRE is a powerful extraction, location and monitoring system for mobile phones for the exclusive use of government, law enforcement and intelligence agencies. IMRE operates remotely and undetected and can handle thousands of target Android and IOS mobile phones simultaneously. IMRE can identify different activities which occur on a target mobile phone and enable the system operator to take advantage of features of the mobile phone to extract and monitor the devise undetectably

Crime Prevention

PointGuard

PointGuard is a software solution designed to receive and continually analyze cellular radio information and provide predictive data regarding mobile phones. PointGuard, together with Hunter or a third party geo-location system, can track every mobile phone in a pre-defined area. PointGuard is designed to analyze the collected data using sophisticated algorithms to identity suspicious activity patterns and generate alerts. We cannot assure you that PointGuard will perform as intended.

C OMMERCIAL A PPLICATIONS

Historically, we have not had significant activity in the commercial and civilian markets, as the vast majority of our products are designed for governmental customers only.

We believe that our technologies can be adapted to civilian uses and we intend to introduce several commercial applications to the market in the future.

The Bird Catcher described above under “Cellular Interception Detection and Prevention” is an advanced information security tool that can be used by defense and security industry participants. We believe that this

 

147


Table of Contents

product has potential commercial applications, subject to regulatory approvals. Large financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies and other companies that deal with sensitive commercial information are under constant competitive and hostile intelligence threats, many of which are generated by tactical interception systems. We believe these commercial entities represent an opportunity for the Birdcatcher. Furthermore, because Birdcatcher does not include deciphering capabilities, use of this product is not restricted to governmental agencies and may be used by private citizens requiring intelligence capabilities, such as political candidates in certain foreign countries.

G ROWTH S TRATEGY

The key elements of our growth strategy are to:

Generate technological enhancement and innovation-procurement.

We believe we were the first to introduce several unique solutions and capabilities to the market in the past decade, including “near real-time” A-5/1 interception capabilities and Iridium interception system. In our view, we have a strong internal technological base and strong capabilities to identify core technologies and integrate them into our product lines. We believe this enables us to introduce new products to the market with short lead-time and maintain a competitive edge.

We believe that there are new and exciting technologies that could complement and enhance our current technologies. We intend to seek to acquire core complimentary technologies. We intend to target small companies with mature technologies or technologies that are near maturity. We also believe there are several “GSM network in a box” technologies that would complement our line of interception products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete an acquisition with owners of a targeted technology.

Establish a Technological Hub in Eastern Europe.

To reduce costs, we procure components and systems in Eastern European countries, as well as in Russia.

We intend to establish a technological hub, which would make it easier for us to manage our foreign suppliers and market products, as well as enable us to conduct specific development of new foreign (to Israel or the U.S.) technologies and products that, if developed and introduced in Israel or in the United States, would likely undergo long and exhausting regulatory processes. In our experience, the costs of goods and services in Eastern Europe are significantly lower than in western countries.

Establish a United States Office.

We believe that one of the most extensive and lucrative potential markets for our line of products is the U.S. It is estimated by Homeland Security Research Corp., an international market and technology research firm specializing in the homeland security and public safety industry, that the U.S. homeland security and public safety market size was approximately $51 billion in 2012, and is expected to grow to $81 billion by 2020. We have begun to approach the U.S. market, sold several systems, and have met with several key potential customers in the U.S.

We believe that Ability is one of only a few foreign companies that have sold tactical interception systems to U.S. governmental agencies. To date, our sales into the U.S. have been minimal. In order to penetrate the U.S. market with our products as a mainstream supplier, we believe we must have our products produced in full by an authorized and certified U.S. supplier, acceptable to and trusted by the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement community. Accordingly, we intend to partner with a local U.S. company that has a strong presence and relationship with our potential customers but is not a direct competitor of ours. Alternatively, we may build the necessary infrastructure to penetrate the U.S. market.

We intend to establish an office in the U.S. that would initially analyze the current U.S. market operational and technological challenges related to our product offerings and the competitive advantages our products have in comparison to existing U.S. vendors. Additionally, at the outset, this U.S. office would be tasked with identifying a potential strategic partner that could assist us with generating significant sales in the U.S. and Canada and negotiating and establishing an agreement with such strategic partner. We will also need to develop a strategy and methodology to differentiate our products within the U.S. from those outside of the U.S. so our non-U.S. products do not fall under U.S. export control restrictions.

I NTELLECTUAL P ROPERTY

General

Our success depends to a significant degree on the legal protection of our proprietary technology. Because of the highly classified nature of the proprietary information contained in our products and technologies, including the intellectual property of our suppliers and technology providers, we have not sought patent protection for any of our products. Accordingly, we rely on a combination of trade secret laws and confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with employees and third parties to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We have accumulated a significant amount of proprietary know-how and expertise in integrating our innovative solutions. We regularly review new areas of technology related to our business to determine the proper means for protection of any proprietary information.

We are not aware of any formal claims or other actions that have been filed against us with respect to any alleged infringement. We are not aware of any third parties infringing on our intellectual property. Defending infringement claims or other claims could involve substantial costs and diversion of management resources. In addition, to the extent we are not successful in defending such claims, we may be subject to injunctions with respect to the use or sale of certain of our products or to liabilities for damage and may be required to obtain licenses which may not be available on reasonable terms.

Licenses

While we employ many of our innovations exclusively in our products and services, we also engage in inbound licensing of certain components of our systems. We license certain software, technology and related rights for use in the manufacture and marketing of our products and pay third parties under such licenses and other agreements. While it may be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects of our products, we believe, based on industry practice, such licenses generally could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.

Trademarks and Service Marks

We have not registered any trademarks or service marks.

C USTOMERS

The principal customers for our interception and decryption solutions include security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. We have sold our solutions to governments and government agencies in over 50 countries.

1 Sales in Israel include sales to Israeli integrators that have sold to end users in Asia and Africa, which represented 11%, 32% and 13% of revenues during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Substantially all of Ability’s resellers and customers do not permit Ability to identify them as customers due to the sensitive nature of the products Ability sells to them and projects it undertakes on their behalf, including due to national security concerns for certain government customers. Accordingly, Ability is not able to identify its customers in its marketing and sales materials or the specific purpose for which certain products were sold or projects were undertaken. Moreover, Ability is unable to use substantially all of its customers as referral sources. These limitations could adversely affect Ability’s marketing and sales efforts.

C USTOMER S ERVICE

We provide our customers with on-site training at no additional cost for systems priced in excess of $150,000. Our standard warranty period is 12 months. The warranty and maintenance agreement may be extended by the customer on an annual basis for a fee equal to between 7% and 15% of the net invoice price. Technical support is performed over the phone, by email or by remote access in the first instance and, if an issue is not resolved, technical teams are sent to the customer’s premises.

M ARKETING AND S ALES

Sales are generated through three principal channels, (i) a direct sales channel, (ii) sales through resellers, and (iii) sales to integrators as a component of larger projects. Our direct sales efforts are led by our executive officers and two additional internal senior executives on a worldwide basis from our Tel Aviv headquarters.

We have a network of independent sales agents active in most regions in which we sell. In addition, we sell through resellers, including certain large companies, in various regions. Finally, we sell through integrators, usually acting as subcontractors to such integrators on more extensive defense and security projects in which such integrators are general contractors.

In October 2013 we entered in a joint venture agreement with Ability Security Systems Ltd. (“ASM”). ASM is an Israeli company registered with the Israeli Defense Export Controls Agency (DECA) as a certified exporter within the business fields in which Ability operates, including with respect to Israeli export control regimes and their implementation. ASM’s sole business is providing contract management services to Ability. ASM has the exclusive right to promote and execute sales of Ability’s products generated by Ability’s marketing channels which involve Israeli-controlled technologies and solutions.

Our payment terms typically include a 30% down payment, a 60% payment due upon delivery and a 10% payment due after a site acceptance test is completed.

C OMPETITION

We believe that our solutions have several competitive advantages, including:

 

    product performance, functionality and portability;

 

    product quality, stability and reliability;

 

    customization of solutions to meet customer demands;

 

    innovative solutions;

 

    breadth of product portfolio and pre-defined integrations;

 

    global presence and high-quality, responsive customer service and support;

 

    specific industry knowledge and experience; and

 

    price.

We believe that our flexibility and ability to react quickly to our customers’ requirements and needs provide us with a competitive advantage.

Despite these competitive advantages, we face competition in most of our markets. In each of our markets, we face competition from companies with products that compete with our solutions.

In the cellular interception market, our principal competitors include Verint Systems, Inc., Neosoft Technologies, Inc., and Picsix, Ltd.

In the satellite interception market, we face competition from Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co KG, Verint Systems, Inc., Arpege Defence SAS, L3 TRL Technology Ltd. and Neosoft Technologies, Inc.

In the deciphering market, we face competition from Arpege Defence SAS and L3 TRL Technology Ltd.

In the cyber market, we compete with Wintego Systems Ltd., Magen Ltd., Hacking Team S.r.L., Gamma International GmbH and several others. In the geolocation market, our chief competitor is CT-Circles Technologies Ltd. Certain of these competitors are also suppliers and/or customers of ours.

We believe that our competitive success depends primarily on our ability to provide technologically advanced and cost-effective solutions and services.

R ESEARCH AND D EVELOPMENT

We believe that the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products are essential to our future success. Accordingly, we continue to enhance the features and performance of our existing solutions and to introduce new solutions through extensive research and development activities, including facilitating the development of new solutions and the addition of capabilities to existing solutions.

Research and development is generally performed outside of Israel, primarily in Russia and eastern Europe.

We believe that our future success depends on a number of factors, including among others, our ability to:

 

    identify and respond to emerging technological trends and areas of growth in our markets;

 

    develop and maintain competitive solutions that meet or exceed our customers’ changing needs and challenges;

 

    enhance our existing products by adding features and functionality to meet or exceed specific customer needs or differentiate our products from those of our competitors; and

 

    attract, recruit, and retain highly skilled and experienced employees.

We plan to establish a technological hub in Eastern Europe, which we believe will enable us to expand international sales.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we expended $457,000, $590,000 and $350,000, respectively, on research and development activities. We allocate our research and development resources in response to market research and customer demand for additional features and solutions. Our development strategy involves rolling out initial releases of our products and adding features over time. We incorporate product feedback received from our customers into our product development process. While the majority of our products are developed internally through our independent contractors, in some cases we also acquire or license technologies, products, and applications from third parties based on timing and cost considerations.

We currently have new products under development, including:

 

    a tactical active 3G interceptor system which we expect to introduce in the fourth quarter of 2015. This system is being designed to replace TouchDown as a higher profit margin product; and

 

    a tactical 4G/LTE interception system which we expect to introduce in the fourth quarter of 2015. This system is being designed to allow interception of 4G/LTE networks, which capability is not currently available in the market.

M ANUFACTURING AND S UPPLIERS

During the year ended December 31 2014, payments to Ability’s three largest vendors comprised 74% of total vendor costs, during the year ended December 31 2013, payments to Ability’s three largest vendors comprised 57% of total vendor costs, and during the nine months ended September 30 2015, payments to Ability’s three largest vendors comprised 73% of total vendor costs.

Ability’s suppliers are located mainly in Europe and Russia, and have long term relationships with Ability. Ability has redundant and immediate procurement solutions for most of the suppliers in case it faces problems with suppliers.

Ability has, to date, been able to obtain adequate supplies of all components in a timely manner from its suppliers or alternative sources, when necessary.

Ability is certified under the ISO 9001:2008 standards promulgated by the International Organization for Standardization for assembling (installation) of interception and deciphering systems.

R EGULATORY M ATTERS

Ability and some of its suppliers are subject to applicable export control regulations in countries from which they export goods and services. These controls may apply by virtue of the country in which the products are located or by virtue of the origin of the content contained in the products. If the controls of a particular country apply, the level of control generally depends on the nature of the goods and services in question as well as the identity of the end users.

The Israeli Defense Export Control Law, 5766-2007 (“2007 Law”) regulates the export of defense equipment, transfer of defense know-how and the export of defense services (collectively “Defense Products”), taking into account national security considerations, foreign relations considerations, international obligations and other interests of the State of Israel. In addition, the 2007 Law provides that the sale of Defense Products requires a license from the Israeli Ministry of Defense. These licenses are non-transferrable. Fines and criminal sanctions may be imposed for non-compliance with the 2007 Law. For the most part, Ability’s products are manufactured outside of Israel and therefore are not subject to the general provisions of the 2007 Law. Moreover, the

 

152


Table of Contents

provisions of the 2007 Law that regulate defense products’ brokerage activity have not been implemented, by executive order. The Israeli Encryption Order (as defined below) described below regulates the Company’s activities in the area of decryption.

Various Israeli regulations affect the Company’s direct activities and activities performed through its joint venture partner, Ability Security Systems Ltd.

Regulations Applicable to the Activities of Ability

The Company operates under the Order Governing the Control of Commodities and Services (Engagement in Encryption Items) — 1974, as amended in 1998 (“Encryption Order”) and the Declaration Regarding the Control of Commodities and Services (Engagement in Encryption Items) 1974, as amended in 1998 (the “Declaration”) — both issued under the authority of the Minister of Defense derived from the Law Governing the Control of Commodities and Services — 1957 (“1957 Law”).

Ability’s interception systems that contain decryption capabilities may be subject to the Encryption Order which regulates any “engagement” in encryption/decryption items. Even though Ability’s activities in this area involve brokerage and not actual export from Israel (or Israeli know-how), the Company has determined that all of its decryption items are regulated by the Israeli encryption export control regime and the Company requests and obtains the necessary licenses as needed on an ongoing basis.

Any components of the Company’s systems that are subject to the 2007 Law are “drop-shipped” to the customers directly by the foreign suppliers of such components, which are located out of Israel.

Any systems that include components which are subject to export control pursuant to the 2007 Law , are sold by ASM, pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement described above under “— Marketing and Sales.”

Regulations Applicable to Ability Security Systems (“ASM”):

ASM is an Israeli company registered with the Israeli Defense Export Controls Agency (DECA) as a certified exporter. ASM has extensive knowledge and experience related to Israeli products, Israeli industry, and exports from Israel, including with respect to the Israeli export control regime. Any of the Company’s solutions that fall under the 2007 Law are sold in coordination with ASM. To date, two transactions have been entered into pursuant to the joint venture.

ASM handles compliance with Israeli law for items which are regulated by the following Israeli laws and regulations, as applicable:

 

    The Defense Export Control Law, 5766 — 2007;

 

    The Export Control Order (military equipment), 2008; and

 

    The Export Control Order (dual-use controlled equipment), 2008 (including its incorporation of the annually updated Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies).

ASM is responsible to register and apply for licenses from DECA when necessary as well as to coordinate all legal, financial and regulatory issues involved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ability applies directly to the DECA for the applicable encryption permits.

If the Company expands its geographic scope, it also may be subject to applicable export control regulations in other countries from which it exports goods and services, including the U.S. Such regulations may apply with respect to product components that are developed or manufactured in, or shipped from, the U.S. In the event that the Company’s products and services are subject to such additional controls and restrictions, it may be required to obtain an export license or authorization and comply with other applicable requirements pursuant to such regulations.

Currently, any regulatory aspects of the purchase of goods and services from foreign non-Israeli suppliers (other than in the cases of brokering the purchase and sale of decryption items as described above ) is the responsibility of the foreign supplier.

E MPLOYEES

As of August 31, 2015, we employed 15 individuals on a full-time basis and five individuals on a part-time basis, comprised of administrators and marketing and technical personnel. In addition to our employees, we utilize the services of numerous independent contractors worldwide in the area of research and development, sales and marketing. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good and a critical factor in our success. While we are not a party to any collective bargaining or other agreement with any labor organization in Israel, certain provisions of the collective bargaining agreements between the Histadrut (General Federation of Laborers in Israel) and the Coordinating Bureau of Economic Organizations (including the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel) may be applicable to our Israeli employees by virtue of expansion orders of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor.

P ROPERTIES

We do not own any real property. We have entered into lease agreements for our headquarters and laboratory, each on the 7 th floor of 14 Yad Haruzim Street, Tel Aviv, Israel, and installation and quality assurance facility at 10/28-30 Havoda Street, Ariel, Israel.

The lease details are as follows:

Headquarters : 90 square meters. The term of the lease is from December 1, 2012 through November 30, 2017, with an option to extend for an additional 60 months. The rent for the headquarters is 25,000 NIS (approximately $6,760) per month. If the option is exercised, the rent will increase by 7%.

Laboratory : 60 square meters. The term of the lease is from May 1, 2015 through November 30, 2017, with an option to extend for 60 months. The rent for the laboratory is 16,350 NIS (approximately $4,420) per month. If the option is exercised, the rent will increase by 7%.

Installation and Quality Assurance facility : 60 square meters. The term of the lease is from august 15, 2105 through august 15, 2016, with an option to extend for an additional three years. The rent for the facility is 5,000 NIS (approximately $1,350) per month. If the option is exercised, the rent will increase by 2% each year.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In October 2014, Mrs. Sonia Rosenhak filed a claim against Ability and Messrs. Anatoly Hurgin and Alexander Aurovsky with the Tel-Aviv Magistrate Court alleging that she is entitled to receive certain amounts due to her pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding dated August 12, 2002 (the “MOU”) entered into by her late husband, Mr. Danny Rosenhak, and Messrs. Hurgin and Aurovsky.

Pursuant to the MOU, to which we were not a party, Mr. Rosenhak made an investment of $150,000 related to the import, marketing and selling of a system for listening to cellular phones. Under the MOU, Messrs. Hurgin and Aurovsky would be the exclusive source for manufacturing of such system and would provide the connections and knowhow to market the system. The MOU provided that after payment of expenses, profits related to the system would be paid 15% to Mr. Rosenhak and 85% to Messrs. Hurgin and Aurovsky. Mr. Rosenhak received payments under the MOU until his death in June 2013.

We believe we have valid defenses to the claims because (1) the Company is not a proper party to the litigation inasmuch as it was not a party to the MOU, (2) the products that comprised the system referenced in the MOU

 

154


Table of Contents

were discontinued in 2011, (3) Mr. Rosenhak received updates regarding the status of the MOU, including financial statements, and was aware of the fact that he was receiving profits related only to some of our products, and (4) Mr. Rosenhak never asserted that he was entitled to profits from sales that were not part of the system that was ultimately discontinued and did not object to the statements provided to him.

Since the MOU provided for arbitration, the claim was transferred to arbitration by order of the court. The defendants submitted a counterclaim against Mrs. Rosenhak claiming that Mr. Rosenhak received excess amounts of 1,212,863 NIS (approximately $320,000). An arbitration session was held on May 15, 2015 and it was decided that Mrs. Rosenhak was to submit a statement of defense to the counterclaim and Ability would submit a response by July 14, 2015. On October 12, 2015 Mrs. Rosenhak filed a request with the Court to nominate an arbitrator; such a request was rescheduled to be discussed at the Court on December 7, 2015. On November 19, 2015, the plaintiff filed a request with the court and noted that there may be a need to nominate a decisive arbitrator to discuss temporary orders against the business combination with Cambridge.

Ability and its legal counsel are of the opinion that it is impossible to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings as to their preliminary stage and that Ability shall not be part of these legal proceedings as it was not a party to the MOU.

On November 12, 2015, a lawsuit was submitted to the Lod District Court in Israel by a company and an individual, against Ability and its shareholders. The lawsuit amount for registration fee purposes is NIS 5 million ($1,285,000), however the plaintiffs did not specify the demanded compensation amount. The plaintiffs allege that certain of Ability’s products which are designed to intercept and decode encrypted cellular communication networks under the GSM standard, exploit and violate the patented invention, and take advantage of the plaintiffs’ confidential information protected under the terms of a non-disclosure agreement. The plaintiffs allege that such actions constitute patent infringement, violation of the non-disclosure agreement, misappropriation of trade secrets and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs demand to immediately cease the patent infringement as well as to cease from any further use of the claimed technology and further manufacture, export, sale or marketing of the alleged infringing products by Ability and/or its shareholders. The preliminary hearing date is scheduled for April 13, 2016. Ability believes the allegations in the notice and the lawsuit are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Ability and its legal counsel are of the opinion that it is unable to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings as to their preliminary stage.

ABILITY’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Financial and Operating Data” and the accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect Ability’s future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside Ability’s control. Ability’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Please read the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.” In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur.

Overview

Ability provides advanced interception, monitoring and cyber intelligence tools to serve the needs and increasing challenges of security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. We believe that our advanced comprehensive capabilities in both the area of interception of communications and the decryption of such communications sets us apart from our competitors.

Founded in 1994 by a team of experts in military intelligence and communications, with further input by specialists in the fields of electronics and mathematics, we have nearly two decades of proven experience in the fields of interception and decryption. We specialize in off-air interception of voice, SMS, and data from both cellular (GSM/CDMA) and satellite communication networks and deciphering solutions for both cellular and satellite communications. We have introduced advanced systems to cover satellite interception for the major mobile satellite communication systems, Iridium, Thuraya and Inmarsat. Our interception systems can be used either as portable stand-alone tactical systems or can be integrated with larger scale strategic systems. We also offer a system that can detect the existence of active interception systems such as active cellular interception systems, fake SMS advertising systems and IMSI/IMEI catchers, can prevent interception by such systems and “intercept the interceptor”, allowing the user to listen to and manipulate the intercepted information.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with general accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements, our most critical accounting policies, discussed below, pertain to revenue recognition and income taxes. Estimates, by their nature, are based upon judgments and information currently available to us. The estimates that we make are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of management. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis.

Revenue recognition

Ability generates revenues from sales of products, which include hardware, software, integration, training and warranty. Ability sells its products and provides services directly to end users and resellers and also participates as a subcontractor of prime contractors in joint projects and as a prime contractor in projects with resellers.

Generally, Ability’s offerings contain a significant differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality cannot be obtained. Furthermore, Ability is unable to reliably determine what similar competitor products’ selling prices are on a standalone basis. Accordingly, when a sale arrangement contains

 

157


Table of Contents

multiple elements, Ability allocates revenue to each element based on estimated selling price as neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third party evidence are available. The estimated selling price is established considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, historical sales, pricing practices and geographies in which Ability offers its products. The determination of the estimated selling price is judgmental.

Revenues from sales of products are recognized when Ability has delivered products to the customer retained final acceptance, the revenue can be reliably measured and collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured.

Revenues from projects are recognized using the completed-contract method to determine the appropriate amount in a given period, as Ability is unable to produce reasonably dependable estimates due to involvement of many subcontractors and lack of transparency of prime contractors’ progress. Under the completed-contract method, costs are accumulated on the balance sheet until the contract is complete or substantially complete. Similarly, amounts billed to customers are also deferred until the contract is complete or substantially complete. To the extent that the amount of accumulated costs exceeds the amount of advance (or progress) payments received or billed by Ability, the excess should be reflected on the balance sheet as a current asset, separate from inventory. To the extent that the amount of advance (or progress) payments received or billed by Ability exceeds the amount of accumulated costs, the excess is reflected as a liability on the balance sheet.

Ability provides a one-year warranty for the majority of its products. Based on Ability experience the provision is de minimis.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax asset and liability accounts’ balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Ability accounts for deferred taxed on non-distributed income that are subject to income taxes once distributed and when there is an intent to distribute them.

Ability applies the two-step approach in recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Trend Disclosure

Over the last few years there has been a shift in demand from strategic interception systems to tactical interception systems. The tactical systems focus on the interception of a limited number of targets or relatively small target areas, while strategic systems are designed for interception on a country wide scale. Some of the reasons for this change is attributable to encryption obstacles which cannot be surpassed by strategic systems and changes in laws and regulations in different countries. Ability specializes in delivering tactical systems and therefore has experienced significantly higher demand for its products in the last few years.

Ability managed to build a solid reputation, gain international recognition and credibility in its markets enabling it to win large scale projects.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily attributed to sales of geolocation systems. The significant increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was attributable to Ability’s increased focus on the Latin American market and completion of four large projects with a federal law enforcement agency in the region of which two projects ($8.1 million each) for fixed interception systems and two other projects of portable interception systems ($10.7 million and $8.3 million). Ability believes future projects in this region are likely to continue. Furthermore, there was a significant increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from Asia, primarily due to a significant project with the intelligence agency in the region totaling $6.1 million of Ability’s cyber systems which were introduced to the market in the beginning of 2014. Ability believes future expansion of sales of its cyber systems in Asia as well as in other regions is likely to continue.

The significant increase in revenues from Asia was primarily attributable to a significant project with an anti drug authority in the region totaling $4.7 million of Ability’s cyber systems which were introduced to the market in the beginning of 2014. The significant increase in revenues from Israel was attributable to a significant project with an Israeli integrator that sold Ability’s systems to end users in Asia and Africa. The increase in revenues in Latin America reflected Ability’s increased focus on this market and was primarily comprised of geolocation systems.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $14.6 million, an increase of $10.1, or 224%, compared to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The significant increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to increased revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $7.5 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 581%, compared to gross profit of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Independence of Directors

As a result of its common shares being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the business combination, Holdco will adhere to the rules of Nasdaq in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of Holdco has consulted, and will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” as a person, other than an executive officer of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Holdco’s independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Upon consummation of the business combination, Anatoly Hurgin will be appointed as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Holdco. Holdco believes that having Mr. Hurgin act as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is most appropriate for Holdco at this time because it provides Holdco with consistent and efficient leadership, both with respect to Holdco’s operations and the leadership of the board. In particular, having Mr. Hurgin act in both of these roles increases the timeliness and effectiveness of the board’s deliberations, increases the board’s visibility into the day-to-day operations of Holdco, and ensures the consistent implementation of Holdco’s strategies.

Table of Contents

Holdco also believes in the importance of independent oversight. Holdco will look to ensure that this oversight is truly independent and effective through a variety of means, including:

 

    Having a majority of the board be considered independent.

 

    At each regularly scheduled board meeting, all independent directors will typically be scheduled to meet in an executive session without the presence of any management directors.

Holdco believes that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, together with the significant responsibilities of Holdco’s other independent directors described above, provides an appropriate balance between leadership and independent oversight.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon consummation of the business combination, Holdco will establish a separately standing audit committee and compensation committee.

Audit Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the business combination, Holdco will establish an audit committee comprised of independent directors. It is expected that the audit committee will initially consist of Benjamin Gordon, Derek Zissman and Mitchell Gordon. Each of the member of the audit committee will be independent under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The audit committee will have a written charter, a form of which will be attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G . The purpose of the audit committee will be, among other things, to appoint, retain, set compensation of, and supervise Holdco’s independent accountants, review the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review Holdco’s accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls.

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors,” as defined for audit committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC, who are “financially literate,” as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Nasdaq’s listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, Holdco will be required to certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

Derek Zissman will serve as a financial expert on the Audit Committee.

Nominating Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the business combination, Holdco will establish a nominating of the board of directors comprised of Benjamin Gordon, Mitchell Gordon and Efraim Halevy. Each member of the nominating committee will be independent under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The nominating committee will have a written charter, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H . The nominating committee will be responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on Holdco’s board of directors.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the business combination, the board of directors of Holdco will establish a compensation committee consisting of independent directors. It is expected that the Compensation Committee will initially consist of Derek Zissman, Benjamin Gordon and Efraim Halevy. The compensation committee will have a written charter, which will be attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I . The purpose of the compensation committee will be to review and approve compensation paid to Holdco’s officers and directors and to administer Holdco’s incentive compensation plans, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.

Any award made pursuant to an individual subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act must consist of a committee of two or more members of the board who are Section 162(m)(4)I of “nonemployee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Cambridge Executive Officer and Director Compensation

Cambridge is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and the following is intended to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies. No executive officer or director of Cambridge has received any compensation for services rendered to Cambridge. No fees of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of Cambridge’s existing stockholders, including its officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of the mergers. Since its formation, Cambridge has not granted any stock options, stock appreciation rights, or any other equity or equity-based awards under long-term incentive plans to any of its executive officers or directors.

Commencing on December 17, 2013, Cambridge began paying Cambridge Capital LLC, an affiliate of Benjamin Gordon, a fee of $10,000 per month for providing Cambridge with office space and certain office and administrative services. Cambridge will continue to pay this fee through the closing of the merger agreement. However, this arrangement is solely for Cambridge’s benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Gordon compensation in lieu of a salary. During the year ended December 31, 2014, Cambridge paid Cambridge Capital LLC an aggregate of $120,000 pursuant to this arrangement. In January 2015, Cambridge Capital LLC agreed to accrue payment of this fee and Cambridge has accrued an aggregate of $100,000 for payment of the fee since such time through the record date.

In addition, Cambridge’s executive officers are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Cambridge’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than Cambridge’s board of directors, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged. Because of the foregoing, Cambridge generally does not have the benefit of independent directors examining the propriety of expenses incurred on its behalf and subject to reimbursement. As of November 24, 2015, the record date, an aggregate of approximately $425,178 has been reimbursed to them for such expenses.

Holdco Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Business Combination

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The policies of Holdco with respect to the compensation of its executive officers and following the merger will be administered by Holdco’s board in consultation with its compensation committee (as described above). The compensation policies followed by Holdco will be intended to provide for compensation that is sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives of outstanding ability and potential and to establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value. To meet these goals, the compensation committee will be charged with recommending executive compensation packages to Holdco’s board of directors.

It is anticipated that performance-based and equity-based compensation will be an important foundation in executive compensation packages as Holdco believes it is important to maintain a strong link between executive

 

171


Table of Contents

incentives and the creation of stockholder value. Holdco believes that performance and equity-based compensation can be an important component of the total executive compensation package for maximizing stockholder value while, at the same time, attracting, motivating and retaining high-quality executives. Following consummation of the business combination, Holdco will adopt a long-term incentive plan which will reflect what Holdco believes is a focus on performance- and equity-based compensation. Since Holdco will not have a compensation committee until completion of the business combination, it has not yet adopted any formal guidelines for allocating total compensation between equity compensation and cash compensation for executives hired in the future.

Overview of Compensation

Upon consummation of the business combination, Holdco will seek to provide total compensation packages that are competitive in terms of potential value to its executives, and which are tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of Holdco within its industry in order to create an executive compensation program that will adequately reward its executives for their roles in creating value for Holdco stockholders. Holdco intends to be competitive with other similarly situated companies in its industry following completion of the business combination.

The compensation decisions regarding Holdco’s executives will be based on Holdco’s need to attract individuals with the skills necessary for Holdco to achieve its business plan, to reward those individuals fairly over time, and to retain those individuals who continue to perform at or above Holdco’s expectations.

It is anticipated that Holdco’s executives’ compensation will have three primary components – salary, cash incentive bonus and stock-based awards. Holdco will view the three components of executive compensation as related but distinct. Although Holdco’s compensation committee will review total compensation, Holdco does not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of compensation should negate or reduce compensation from other components. Holdco anticipates determining the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on its view of internal equity and consistency, individual performance and other information deemed relevant and timely. Since Holdco’s compensation committee will not be formed until consummation of the merger, Holdco has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation.

In addition to the guidance provided by its compensation committee, Holdco may utilize the services of third parties from time to time in connection with the hiring and compensation awarded to executive employees. This could include subscriptions to executive compensation surveys and other databases.

Holdco’s compensation committee will be charged with performing an annual review of Holdco’s executive officers’ cash compensation and equity holdings to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation to executive officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies.

Benchmarking of Cash and Equity Compensation

Holdco believes it is important when making compensation-related decisions to be informed as to current practices of similarly situated publicly held companies in the global logistics industry. Holdco expects that the compensation committee will stay apprised of the cash and equity compensation practices of publicly held companies in the geophysical services industry through the review of such companies’ public reports and through other resources. It is expected that any companies chosen for inclusion in any benchmarking group would have business characteristics comparable to Holdco, including revenues, financial growth metrics, stage of development, employee headcount and market capitalization. While benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting compensation due to the aspects of Holdco post-merger business and

 

172


Table of Contents

objectives that may be unique to Holdco, Holdco generally believes that gathering this information will be an important part of its compensation-related decision-making process.

Compensation Components

Base Salary. Generally, Holdco, working with the compensation committee, anticipates setting executive base salaries at levels comparable with those of executives in similar positions and with similar responsibilities at comparable companies. Holdco will seek to maintain base salary amounts at or near the industry norms, while avoiding paying amounts in excess of what it believes is necessary to motivate executives to meet corporate goals. It is anticipated base salaries will generally be reviewed annually, subject to terms of employment agreements, and that the compensation committee and board will seek to adjust base salary amounts to realign such salaries with industry norms after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

Annual Bonuses. Holdco intends to utilize cash incentive bonuses for executives to focus them on achieving key operational and financial objectives within a yearly time horizon. Near the beginning of each year, the board, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee and subject to any applicable employment agreements, will determine performance parameters for appropriate executives. At the end of each year, the board and compensation committee will determine the level of achievement for each corporate goal.

Holdco will structure cash incentive bonus compensation so that it is taxable to its employees at the time it becomes available to them. At this time, it is not anticipated that any executive officer’s annual compensation, other than amounts paid under Holdco’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan and qualifying as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, will exceed $1 million, and therefore Holdco does not anticipate that any of the compensation paid by it to its executive officers will be nondeductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Equity Awards. Holdco also will use stock options and other stock-based awards to reward long-term performance. It believes that providing a meaningful portion of its executives’ total compensation package in stock options and other stock-based awards will align the incentives of its executives with the interests of Holdco’s stockholders and with Holdco’s long-term success. The compensation committee and board will develop their equity award determinations based on their judgments as to whether the complete compensation packages provided to Holdco’s executives, including prior equity awards, are sufficient to retain, motivate and adequately award the executives.

Severance Benefit. Holdco currently has no severance benefits plan. Holdco may consider the adoption of a severance plan for executive officers and other employees in the future.

Other Compensation. Holdco will establish and maintain various employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans. These plans will be available to all salaried employees and will not discriminate in favor of executive officers. Holdco may extend other perquisites to its executives that are not available to its employees generally.

Director and Consultant Compensation. Holdco currently does not have a definitive compensation plan for its future directors or consultants. Holdco, working with the compensation committee, anticipates setting director and consultant compensation at a level comparable with those directors and consultants with similar positions at comparable companies.

On September 6, 2015, simultaneously with the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, Ability entered into an employment agreement with (i) Anatoly Hurgin for Mr. Hurgin to serve as its Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) Alexander Aurovsky for Mr. Aurovsky to serve as its Chief Technical Officer. On November 8, 2015, Ability retained Avi Levin to serve as its Chief Financial Officer. See “Executive Compensation — Employment Agreements and other Employment Arrangements” above.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Holdco

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Holdco ordinary shares as of the record date and immediately following consummation of the business combination by:

 

    each person known by Cambridge to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Cambridge’s outstanding shares of common stock either on the record date or after the consummation of the business combination;

 

    each of Cambridge’s current executive officers and directors;

 

    each person who will become an executive officer or a director of Holdco upon consummation of the business combination;

 

    all of Cambridge’s current executive officers and directors as a group; and

 

    all of Holdco’s executive officers and directors as a group after the consummation of the business combination.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Cambridge or its securities, the Cambridge initial stockholders, Ability and/or their affiliates, may enter into a written plan to purchase Cambridge securities pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and may engage in other public market purchases, as well as private purchases, of securities. The ownership percentages listed below do not include any such shares that may be purchased after the record date.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Cambridge or its securities, the Cambridge initial stockholders, Ability or Ability’s shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Cambridge’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the public shares present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the merger proposal vote in its favor and that Cambridge will have in excess of $5 million of net tangible assets upon closing of the business combination after taking into account holders of public shares that properly demanded conversion of their public shares into cash, when it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Cambridge initial stockholders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Cambridge common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Cambridge will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal and charter amendments proposal or the conversion threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including its officers and directors, beneficially own 23.6% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date. Because of the ownership block held by Cambridge’s initial stockholders, such individuals may be able to effectively exercise control over all matters requiring approval by Cambridge’s stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions other than approval of its initial business combination.

All of the initial shares have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until (A) with respect to 50% of such shares, the earlier of (i) the date on which the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the business combination and (ii) one year after the consummation of the business combination and (B) with respect to the remaining 50% of such shares, one year after the consummation of the business combination; provided that the initial shares will be released if Holdco consummates a subsequent liquidation merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities except (i) for transfers to an entity’s members upon its liquidation, (ii) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of Cambridge’s securities or (vi) by private sales made at or prior to the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased, in each case where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement, but will retain all other rights as Cambridge’s stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if

declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If Cambridge is unable to effect a business combination and liquidate the trust account, none of its initial stockholders will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to their initial shares.

In a private placement conducted simultaneously with the consummation of Cambridge’s initial public offering, the Cambridge initial stockholders and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees purchased 472,125 private units. The purchasers have agreed that these units will not be sold or transferred by them (except to certain permitted transferees) until after Cambridge has completed a business combination.

Security Ownership of Ability

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Related Person Policy

Cambridge’s Code of Ethics requires Cambridge to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) Cambridge or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of Cambridge’s shares of common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Cambridge’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent Cambridge enters into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, Cambridge requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete an annual directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

On December 23, 2013 and December 30, 2013, Cambridge’s initial stockholders, Cambridge Capital LLC, an affiliate of Cambridge’s chief executive officer and EarlyBirdCapital purchased 472,125 private units (427,500 units by the initial stockholders and 44,625 units by EarlyBirdCapital), for a total purchase price of $4,721,250, from Cambridge. The private units are identical to the units sold in Cambridge’s initial public offering. However, the holders thereof have agreed (A) to vote the underlying shares in favor of the merger proposal, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such business combination, (C) not to convert any underlying shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that such underlying shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. Additionally, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private units (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of the initial business combination.

The holders of the initial shares and private units (and underlying securities) and any shares the initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to Cambridge, are entitled to registration rights. The holders of the majority of the initial shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the private units or shares issued in payment of working capital loans made to Cambridge can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after Cambridge consummates a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. Cambridge will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

On October 2, 2013, Cambridge issued a $100,000 principal amount unsecured promissory note to Cambridge Capital LLC, an affiliate of Benjamin Gordon. The note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier to occur of (i) October 2, 2014, (ii) the consummation of Cambridge’s initial public offering or (iii) the date on which Cambridge determined not to proceed with an initial public offering. The note was repaid in full on December 24, 2014.

On December 17, 2013, Cambridge Capital LLC advanced to Cambridge an aggregate of $70,000 for the payment of offering costs. This amount was repaid in full on December 24, 2013. Cambridge pays Cambridge Capital LLC, $10,000 per month for certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative support. Cambridge has agreed to pay for, and Cambridge Capital LLC has agreed to provide, such services until the consummation of an initial business combination. Benjamin Gordon is the majority holder of Cambridge Capital LLC. Accordingly, Benjamin Gordon benefits from this arrangement to the extent of his interest in Cambridge Capital LLC. However, this arrangement is solely for Cambridge’s benefit and is not intended to provide Benjamin Gordon compensation in lieu of a salary. Cambridge believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in the West Palm Beach, Florida area, that the fee charged by Cambridge Capital LLC is at least as favorable as Cambridge could have obtained from an unaffiliated person.

On March 6, 2015, June 8, 2015, August 3, 2015 and August 26, 2015, Cambridge issued unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $70,000, $100,000, $100,000 and $80,000, respectively, to Benjamin Gordon in consideration for loans from Mr. Gordon to fund Cambridge’s working capital requirements until a business combination is consummated. Payment of the notes is due upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The notes are non-interest bearing and are convertible at Mr. Gordon’s election upon the consummation of an initial business combination into units of Cambridge, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Mr. Gordon has indicated he intends to convert the full amount of the notes into units, resulting in him being issued an aggregate of 35,000 ordinary shares and 35,000 warrants of Holdco. If the business combination is not consummated, the notes will not be repaid or converted and will be forgiven.

Ability Related Person Transactions

Anatoly Hurgin owns 100% of Alan Ltd., which holds a 60% interest in Active Intelligence Labs Ltd. (Israel) (“AIL”). Ability purchased an aggregate of $420,000 and $780,000 of equipment from AIL during the year ended December 31, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

On October 24, 2013, Ability entered into a loan agreement with Alan Ltd, a company owned by Mr. Hurgin, pursuant to which Ability agreed to loan Alan Ltd. an aggregate of $760,000. Ability made advances of $205,000 and $555,003 during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The balance outstanding under the loan agreement as of September 30, 2015 was $703,000. The loan bears interest at the rate of 3.3%, subject to adjustment based on changes to the consumer price index. The loan agreement provides that the loan will be repaid in accordance with a reasonable schedule to be based on the financial situation of Alan Ltd. as disclosed to Ability. The loan will be repaid at or prior to the consummation of the business combination.

In January 2012 and May 2015 Ability entered into leases each terminating November 30, 2017 and subject to extension for five years at Ability’s option, for properties that combine to comprise Ability’s office space in Tel Aviv, for a combined rent of 41,350 NIS (approximately $11,000) per month. Alexander Aurovsky, Ability’s Chief Technology Officer, has personally guaranteed all of our obligations under these leases.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Cambridge directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of Cambridge common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Based on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to Cambridge, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, Cambridge believes that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

DESCRIPTION OF HOLDCO SECURITIES

The following description of the material terms of the share capital of Holdco following the transactions includes a summary of specified provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Holdco that will be in effect upon completion of the transactions. This description is qualified by reference to Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as will be in effect upon consummation of the transactions, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus by reference.

General

The constitutional documents of Holdco will provide for the issuance of 200,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $.0001, and 5,000,000 preferred shares, par value $.0001.

In the redomestication merger, Holdco will issue its ordinary shares in exchange for the outstanding common stock and warrants of Cambridge as follows:

 

    each share of Cambridge common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except for public shares that have been converted into a pro rata portion of Cambridge’s trust account;

 

    each Cambridge warrant will remain outstanding but will be deemed converted into one warrant of Holdco; and

 

    the 420,000 unit purchase options of Cambridge will be exchanged for 150,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

This prospectus covers an aggregate of 10,534,625 ordinary shares, 8,942,125 warrants, and 8,942,125 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, all of which may be issued by Holdco as a result of the redomestication merger in exchange for the outstanding securities of Cambridge.

In the share exchange, the holders of Ability’s capital stock will receive (1) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (2) $18,150,000 in cash; and (3) an additional number of net income shares as described elsewhere herein.

Ordinary Shares

The holders of ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Holders of Holdco’s ordinary shares will not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the ordinary shares.

Preferred Shares

The memorandum and articles of association of Holdco, as amended, will authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 blank check preferred shares with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by Holdco’s board of directors. Accordingly, Holdco’s board of directors will be empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of ordinary shares. In addition, the preferred shares could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Holdco.

Warrants

Each outstanding warrant of Cambridge shall automatically represent the right to purchase one ordinary share of Holdco in lieu of one share of Cambridge common stock upon closing of the redomestication merger at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. However, no public warrants underlying the units sold in Cambridge’s IPO will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in the same manner as if we called the warrants for redemption and required all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise. The warrants will expire on December 17, 2018 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

The private warrants are identical to the public warrants underlying the units sold in Cambridge’s IPO, except that such private warrants will be exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by us, in each case so long as they are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates.

We may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant,

 

    at any time while the warrants are exercisable;

 

    upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;

 

    if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and

 

    if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-day trading period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant.

The redemption criteria for our warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of our redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined

below) by (y) the fair market value. In this case, the “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Whether we will exercise our option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of our shares of common stock at the time the warrants are called for redemption, our cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive stock issuances.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their warrants such that an electing warrant holder would not be able to exercise their warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% of the shares of common stock outstanding.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Dividends

Cambridge has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock to date and does not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of the merger. The payment of dividends subsequent to the business combination will be entirely within the discretion of Holdco’s then board of directors and will be contingent upon Holdco’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the merger.

Put Rights

Under the merger agreement, each of the Ability shareholders shall have the right exercisable on one occasion during the 60-day period immediately following the second anniversary of the end of the full fiscal year in which the consummation of the business combination occurred, referred to as the put option exercise period, to put to Holdco all or a portion of his pro rata portion of 1,173,267 ordinary shares he receives in the share exchange for an amount in cash equal to (1)(x) the number of shares being put multiplied by (y) $10.10 per share plus (2) his pro rata portion of interest, if any, and subject to the pre-ruling granted by the Israel Tax Authority, as generated in the put option escrow (as herein defined). At closing of the business combination, $11,850,000 shall be deposited into an escrow account, referred to as the put option escrow, by Holdco to fund the payment of the purchase price for the put if it is exercised. Such a put option shall be exercised by way of a repurchase of shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. During the put option exercise period, the holders of the put may sell all or a portion of their shares if they are not then legally or contractually prohibited from doing so.

Holdco’s Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for Holdco’s ordinary shares is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization, Plan of Business Operations, Liquidity and Going Concern

Organization and Plan of Business Operations

Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation (“Cambridge” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 1, 2013 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a target business are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region.

On September 6, 2015, Cambridge entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Cambridge, Cambridge Holdco Corp., Cambridge’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Holdco”), Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd., an Israeli company (“Ability”) and Ability’s shareholders (the “Shareholders”). The Merger Agreement provides for a business combination transaction by means of (i) the merger of Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company and (ii) the subsequent exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of Ability by the Shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco (the “Merger”). Under the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders will receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (ii) $18,150,000 in cash; and (iii) an additional number of ordinary shares of Holdco to be issued upon and subject to Ability achieving certain net income targets following the share exchange. See Note 4 — Merger Agreement for a further discussion of the Merger Agreement.

All activity through September 30, 2015 relates to the Company’s formation, the offering described below and the Company’s identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Public Offering”) was declared effective on December 17, 2013. On December 23, 2013, the Company consummated the Public Offering of 7,000,000 units (“Units”) at $10.00 per Unit and received net proceeds of $67,217,475 after payment of underwriters discount of $2,275,000 and offering expenses of $507,525 and simultaneously raised $4,275,000 through the issuance of 427,500 private units (“Private Units”) at $10.00 per unit to the Company’s initial stockholders (collectively, the “Sponsors”) and the underwriters (and/or their respective designees) in a private placement (See Note 5 — Public Offering and Private Placement). Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company paid $46,292 in additional offering expenses, for a total amount of offering expenses paid of $553,817.

On December 23, 2013, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and on December 30, 2013, the Company consummated the closing of the over-allotment option (the “Overallotment”). The Public Offering and the Overallotment are collectively referred to as the “Offering.” The Company sold 1,050,000 units pursuant to the Overallotment at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating net proceeds of $10,158,750 after payment of underwriters’ discount of $341,250. In a private placement that took place simultaneously with the consummation of the exercise of the over-allotment option, certain of the Sponsors and the underwriters purchased an additional 44,625 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit generating gross proceeds of $446,250. The private placements consummated simultaneously with the Offering are collectively referred to as the “Private Placement.”

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect the Merger or any other Business Combination successfully. The Company’s securities are

listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the target business or businesses that the Company acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (defined below) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance.

Following the closing of the Overallotment on December 30, 2013, an amount of $81,305,000 (or $10.10 per Unit sold in the Offering), including the proceeds of the Private Placement, was placed in trust (the “Trust Account”) and was subsequently invested in United States government treasury bills having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest solely in U.S. treasuries until the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s executive officers have agreed that they will be jointly and severally liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, they may not be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, (1) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its income and other tax obligations and (2) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay for its working capital requirements in connection with searching for a Business Combination.

The Company will seek shareholder approval of the Merger or any other Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to convert their shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. The Company will proceed with the Merger or any other Business Combination only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Merger or any other Business Combination and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company voted are voted in favor of the Merger or any other Business Combination. In connection with any shareholder vote required to approve the Merger or any other Business Combination, the Sponsors agreed (i) to vote any of their respective shares, including the 2,012,500 shares of common stock sold to the Sponsors in connection with the organization of the Company (the “Sponsors’ Shares”), shares of common stock sold to Sponsors in connection with the Private Placement, and any shares of common stock which were initially issued in connection with the Offering, whether acquired in or after the effective date of the Offering, in favor of the initial Business Combination and (ii) not to convert such respective shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

The Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will continue in existence only until December 23, 2015. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem from holders of the outstanding shares sold in the Offering (“Public Stockholders”) 100% of such shares for a pro rata

portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. In the event of a liquidation, the Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive a full pro rata interest in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.10 per share after the closing of the Overallotment, plus any pro rata interest earned on the Trust Account not previously released to the Company). The Company’s Sponsors and purchasers of the Private Units have agreed not to participate in such redemption, except with respect to any shares of common stock which were issued in connection with the Offering.

Terminated Transaction

On December 1, 2014, the Company, together with two newly formed direct and indirect subsidiaries, entered into a Business Combination Agreement (“Parakou Agreement”) with Parakou Tankers, Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (“Parakou”).

On May 6, 2015, the Company and Parakou terminated the Parakou Agreement and are no longer pursuing merger discussions.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $47,947 in its operating bank accounts and $81,310,750 in restricted cash and equivalents held in trust to be used for an initial Business Combination or to convert its common shares. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has withdrawn $40,108 from interest income on the trust account for its working capital and tax obligations. As of September 30, 2015, $5,750 of the amount on deposit in the trust account represents interest income, which was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Until consummation of its initial Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the trust account, plus the interest earned on the trust account balance (net of income, and other tax obligations) that may be released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the shareholders, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

On March 6, 2015, June 8, 2015, August 3, 2015 and August 26, 2015, the Company issued promissory notes (the “Notes”) to Benjamin Gordon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evidencing loans by Mr. Gordon of $70,000, $100,000, $100,000 and $80,000, respectively. See Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies for a further discussion of the Notes.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2015.

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cambridge, Holdco, and Merger Sub. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances that may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions.

Restricted Investments and Cash Equivalents Held in Trust Account

The amounts held in the Trust Account represent substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination.

As of September 30, 2015, investment securities held in the Trust Account consisted of $81,305,459 in United States treasury securities, which matured on October 8, 2015, and $5,291 of cash equivalents. On October 8, 2015, upon the maturity of the Company’s U.S. Treasury Bills, the Company received $81,306,000 in proceeds. As of December 31, 2014, investment securities held in the Trust Account consisted solely of $81,339,095 of cash equivalents.

From time to time, the Company may invest the amounts held in the Trust Account in United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities”. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and are adjusted for the accretion of discounts.

A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’ fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a

market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the “interest income” line item in the statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Conversion

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Common stock subject to mandatory conversion (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally convertible common stock (including common stock that features conversion rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to conversion upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain conversion rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the common stock subject to possible conversion is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Common shares subject to possible redemption of 7,439,153 and 7,563,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 7,439,153 and 7,563,316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the trust earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of (i) warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase 8,522,125 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) 420,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 420,000 common shares included in the unit purchase option sold to the underwriter, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent on the occurrence of future events.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates include the Company’s estimate of the value of the unit purchase option issued to the underwriter of the Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 1, 2013, the evaluation was performed for the 2014 and 2013 tax years, which will be the only periods subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of September 30, 2015 through the date which these financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, except as disclosed in Note 8 — Subsequent Event the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Note 4 — Merger Agreement

On September 6, 2015, Cambridge, Holdco, Ability and the Shareholders entered into the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement provides for (i) the merger of Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company and (ii) the subsequent exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares

of Ability by the Shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco. Under the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders will receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (ii) $18,150,000 in cash; and (iii) an additional number of ordinary shares of Holdco to be issued upon and subject to Ability achieving certain net income targets following the share exchange, as describe below. Of the shares to be issued, 16,693,267 ordinary shares will be issued to the Shareholders (of which 480,000 will be placed in escrow to be used as consideration for the purchase of the joint venture partner) and 480,000 shares will be issued to Migdal Underwriting and Business Initiatives Ltd.

The Shareholders will be entitled to receive additional Holdco shares based on Ability’s achievement of specified net income targets in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The following table sets forth the net income targets and the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Shareholders upon the achievement of such targets:

 

Year ending December 31,

   Net
Income Target
     Number of
Holdco Shares
 

2015

   $ 27,000,000        3,600,000  

2016

   $ 40,000,000        1,850,000  

2017

   $ 60,000,000        2,000,000  

2018

   $ 80,000,000        1,000,000  

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the net income target for any fiscal year but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the net income target for such fiscal year, then Holdco shall issue to the Shareholders, in the aggregate, such number of Holdco shares equal to the product obtained by (x) the number of Holdco shares that would have been issued to the Shareholders had the net income target been achieved multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by (A) the net income for such fiscal year divided by (B) the net income target for such fiscal year. For illustration, if the net Income for the 2015 fiscal year equals $24,300,000, the number of Holdco shares issuable to the Shareholders for the 2015 net income target shall equal 3,240,000 Holdco shares.

In the event that Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but satisfies the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Shareholders, in addition to the Holdco shares required to be issued by Holdco as a result of Holdco achieving the 2016 net income target, the Holdco shares relating to the net income target. In addition, (i) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target but net income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2015 net income target and net income for 2016 is a higher percentage of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata Holdco shares required to be issued for the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the difference between the percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income Target and the Net Income for 2015 as compared to the 2015 Net Income target, or (ii) if Holdco fails to satisfy the 2015 net income target and net income for such fiscal year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the 2015 net income target but net income for 2016 is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2016 net income target, then Holdco shall issue to the Shareholders, in addition to the pro rata of the Holdco shares relating to the 2016 net income target, such number of Holdco shares for 2015 based on the same percentage of net income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 net income target.

Under the Merger Agreement, each of the Shareholders shall have the right, on one occasion during the 90 day period following the second anniversary of the closing of the merger, to put to Holdco all or part of his pro rata portion of 1,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco he receives in the share exchange for an amount in cash

equal to (1) (x) the number of shares being put  multiplied by  (y) $10.10 per share plus (2) his pro rata portion of interest, if any, and subject to the pre-ruling granted by the Israel Tax Authority, as generated in the put option escrow account as described below. $11,850,000 shall be deposited into an escrow account, referred to as the put option escrow account, by Holdco at closing of the merger to fund the payment of the purchase price for the put if it is exercised.

Ability will declare and pay a dividend to the Shareholders of $11 million prior to the closing of the merger, which dividend shall be paid from the retained earnings of Ability.

Upon the consummation of the transactions described herein, assuming approval of Cambridge stockholders at a special meeting to be called for such purpose, Holdco will be the new public entity and will change its name to a name to be determined by the parties prior to closing.

Note 5 — Public Offering and Private Placement

On December 23, 2013 and December 30, 2013, the Company sold 7,000,000 and 1,050,000 Units, respectively, at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $70,000,000 and $10,500,000, respectively, in the Offering. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock of the Company and one Warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 upon the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination and expiring on December 17, 2018. The Company may redeem the Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the shares of common stock is at least $17.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period (“30-Day Trading Period”) ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given, provided there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such Warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-Day Trading Period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. If the Company redeems the Warrants as described above, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants sold and issued in the Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. If a registration statement is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of a Business Combination, Warrant holders may, beginning on the 91st day and until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis. In the event that a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant for cash and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise.

On December 23, 2013 and December 30, 2013, the Company sold 427,500 and 44,625 Private Units, respectively, at an offering price of $10.00 per Private Unit generating gross proceeds of $4,275,000 and $446,250, respectively, in the Private Placement. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the Offering except the warrants included in the Private Units are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. Additionally, the holders of the Private Units have agreed (A) to vote the shares underlying their Private Units in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination

activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination, (C) not to convert any shares underlying the Private Units into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an initial Business Combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (D) that the shares underlying the Private Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. The purchasers have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the insider shares must agree to, each as described above) until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

The Sponsors and purchasers of the Private Units are entitled to registration rights with respect to their initial shares and the Private Units purchased in the Private Placement. The holders of the majority of the initial shares are entitled to demand that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of a Business Combination. The holders of the Private Units (and underlying securities) are entitled to demand that the Company register these securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsors and purchasers of the Private Units have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.

Pursuant to an agreement with the underwriters of the Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”), the Company paid 3.25% of the gross proceeds of the Offering or $2,616,250 as underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company has further engaged the representative of the underwriters (“Representative”) as an investment banker to provide the Company with merger and acquisition services in connection with its initial Business Combination. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Representative will, if requested, advise and assist the Company in reviewing potential targets with which the Company may consummate a Business Combination as well as structuring the terms of the Business Combination and negotiating the terms of the letter of intent and/or definitive agreement relating to such Business Combination (but not for purposes of finding and/or locating potential targets for its Business Combination). If requested by the Company, the Representative will participate directly in negotiations, review marketing plans and projections of the target, analyze and advise on the financial implications of the transaction, and arrange meetings with and prepare materials for investors. The Company will pay the Representative a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination in an amount equal to $2,415,000 (representing 3.0% of the total gross proceeds raised in the Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable)).In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company sold to the underwriter and its designees, for $100, unit purchase options to purchase up to a total of 420,000 units exercisable at $10.00 per unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $4,200,000) commencing on the consummation of a Business Combination. The unit purchase option expires on December 17, 2018. The units issuable upon exercise of these options are identical to the Units sold in the Offering. The holders of the unit purchase options have demand and “piggy back” registration rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the Public Offering, including securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the unit purchase option.

The Company has accounted for the fair value of the unit purchase options, inclusive of the receipt of a $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company has determined that the fair value of this unit purchase options was approximately $1,402,485 (or $3.34 per Unit) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase options was

estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.68% and (3) expected life of five years. The unit purchase options may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holders’ option (except in the case of a forced cashless exercise upon the Company’s redemption of the Warrants, as described above), such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying shares of common stock) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of any cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the unit purchase options or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase options. The holders of the unit purchase options will not be entitled to exercise the unit purchase options or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase options unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the unit purchase options is effective or an exemption from registration is available. If the holders are unable to exercise the unit purchase options or underlying Warrants, the unit purchase options or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Office Space

The Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Affiliate”). Such Affiliate has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such Affiliate $10,000 per month for such services commencing on December 17, 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company has accrued $30,000 and $90,000 to the aforementioned Affiliate, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations as Office Expense — Related Party. As of September 30, 2015, the Company included in Accrued Expenses — Related Party $139,199 due to the Affiliate representing the unpaid portion of the administrative fee along with unpaid reimbursable expenses.

Legal Proceedings

On March 24, 2015, the Company, the members of the Company’s board of directors and Parakou were named as defendants in a putative class action and derivative lawsuit captioned Brian Levy v. Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corp., et al., No. 2015 CA 003339. The complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit of Palm Beach County, Florida (the “Action”) by a person identifying himself as a stockholder of Cambridge.

The complaint generally alleged, among other things, that the members of the Cambridge board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to Cambridge stockholders by approving the Parakou Mergers. The complaint also alleged that there were various conflicts of interest in the transaction and that such conflicts of interest were not adequately disclosed to stockholders in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus that the Company filed with the SEC on March 27, 2015 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). The Action sought injunctive relief, damages and reimbursement of costs, among other remedies.

On April 9, 2015, the plaintiff in the Action filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin temporarily the closing of the Mergers. On April 15, 2015, the circuit judge set a hearing date of April 17, 2015 for an emergency hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction.

The Company, under the advice of legal counsel, believed that the Action was without merit and that no further disclosure was required to supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under applicable laws. However,

to eliminate certain burdens, expenses and uncertainties, on April 16, 2015, defendants in the Action entered into a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the settlement of claims asserted in the Action and on April 17, 2015, the plaintiff in the Action filed a notice of withdrawal of its emergency motion for preliminary injunction and unopposed motion to cancel the hearing. Shortly thereafter the Company terminated the Mergers with Parakou and the plaintiff took no further action.

On October 15, 2015, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint against Cambridge, Holdco, the members of Cambridge’s board of directors and Ability.

The amended complaint generally alleges, among other things, that the members of the Cambridge board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to Cambridge stockholders by approving the contemplated merger with Ability and that Ability is aiding and abetting the Cambridge board of directors in the alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint also alleges that Cambridge was obligated to liquidate on June 23, 2015 and redeem the outstanding public shares from the funds held in the trust fund and that the efforts to violate Cambridge’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation are ultra vires and therefore void acts. The complaint further alleges that Cambridge’s directors have various conflicts of interest in the transaction and that such conflicts of interest are not adequately disclosed to stockholders in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus that the Company filed with the SEC on September 17, 2015 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). The Action seeks injunctive relief, damages and reimbursement of fees and costs, among other remedies.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the Action could result in a material loss. However, the Company is not able to estimate the amount. At September 30, 2015, no amounts have been accrued on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in connection with this Action.

Legal Matters

The Company has engaged a law firm to assist the Company with its legal matters in identifying, negotiating, and consummating a Business Combination as well as assisting with other legal matters. In connection with the engagement, the Company has agreed to pay the law firm $3,000 per month plus additional legal fees not to exceed $100,000 per calendar year. Of this amount, $148,000 has been included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2015. The Company will also pay the law firm an additional cash fee for its services, contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination. If a Business Combination does not occur, the Company will not be required to pay this contingent fee. As of September 30, 2015, the Company estimates the amount of this contingent fee to be approximately $700,000. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the merger with Ability or any other Business Combination.

Promissory Notes

On March 6, 2015, June 8, 2015, August 3, 2015 and August 26, 2015, the Company issued the Notes to Benjamin Gordon to evidence loans of $70,000, $100,000, $100,000 and $80,000, respectively, made by Mr. Gordon to the Company. The Notes bear no interest and the principal balance is due and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination. Furthermore, at the consummation of a Business Combination, Mr. Gordon has the option to convert any or all of the Notes into additional Private Units of the Company at a rate of $10.00 per Private Unit.

Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

As of September 30, 2015, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

In connection with the organization of the Company, on December 23, 2013, the Sponsors Shares, consisting of a total of 2,012,500 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold to the Sponsors at a price of approximately $0.01 per share for an aggregate of $25,000. This number included an aggregate of 262,500 shares that would have been subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option had not been exercised in full by the underwriters. On December 23, 2013, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option and such option was fully closed on December 30, 2013. As a result, no shares remain subject to forfeiture.

At September 30, 2015, 3,095,472 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding, excluding 7,439,153 shares subject to possible conversion or tender. At December 31, 2014, 2,997,859 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding, excluding 7,536,766 shares subject to possible conversion. The Sponsors Shares were placed into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited expectations, these shares will not be transferable during the escrow period. Such shares will be released from escrow on the first anniversary of the closing date of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events.

Note 8 — Subsequent Event

During November 2015, the Company engaged FBR Capital Markets & Co. (“FBR”) to assist the Company in introducing investors in connection with its Business Combination with Ability. The Company will pay to FBR a fee equal to 3% of the aggregate sales price of shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by new investors introduced by FBR to Cambridge that continue to hold such shares through the closing of the Business Combination (with a minimum fee of $1,000,000).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period October 1, 2013 (Inception) through December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period October 1, 2013 (Inception) through December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has no present revenue and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2014 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for the upcoming year. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CAMBRIDGE CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization, Plan of Business Operations, Liquidity and Going Concern

Organization and Plan of Business Operations

Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation (“Cambridge” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 1, 2013 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although the Company intends to focus its search for target businesses that operate in the supply chain industry, with an emphasis on target businesses that operate in the traditional transportation and logistics end of the supply chain industry.

On December 1, 2014, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Cambridge Holdco, Inc. (“Holdco”), a Marshall Islands corporation and Cambridge Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco and a Marshall Islands corporation. The Company formed Holdco and Merger Sub for the purpose of consummating an initial business combination.

On December 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Holdco, Merger Sub, Parakou Tankers, Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (“Parakou”), and Mr. Por Liu, the sole shareholder of Parakou. Subject to certain conditions, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (i) Cambridge will be merged with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving the merger (the “Cambridge Merger”) and (ii) Merger Sub will be merged with and into Parakou, with Parakou surviving the merger and becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (the “Parakou Merger” and, together with the Cambridge Merger, the “Mergers”). See Note 4 — Merger Agreement for a discussion of the Merger Agreement entered into on December 1, 2014.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2014 relates to the Company’s formation, the offering described below and the Company’s identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Public Offering”) was declared effective on December 17, 2013. On December 23, 2013, the Company consummated the Public Offering of 7,000,000 units (“Units”) at $10.00 per Unit and received net proceeds of $67,217,475 after payment of underwriters discount of $2,275,000 and offering expenses of $507,525 and simultaneously raised $4,275,000 through the issuance of 427,500 private units (“Private Units”) at $10.00 per unit to the Company’s initial stockholders (collectively, the “Sponsors”) and the underwriters (and/or their respective designees) in a private placement (See Note 4 — Public Offering and Private Placement). Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company paid $46,292 in additional offering expenses, for a total amount of offering expenses paid of $553,817.

On December 23, 2013, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and on December 30, 2013, the Company consummated the closing of the over-allotment option (the “Overallotment”). The Public Offering and the Overallotment are collectively referred to as the “Offering.” The Company sold 1,050,000 units pursuant to the Overallotment at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating net proceeds of $10,158,750 after payment of underwriters’ discount of $341,250. In a private placement that took place simultaneously with the consummation of the exercise of the over-allotment option, certain of the Sponsors and the underwriters purchased an additional 44,625 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit generating gross proceeds of $446,250. The private placements consummated simultaneously with the Offering are collectively referred to as the “Private Placement.”

Organization and Plan of Business Operations, continued

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect the Mergers or any other Business Combination successfully. The Company’s securities are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the target business or businesses that the Company acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (defined below) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance.

Following the closing of the Overallotment on December 30, 2013, an amount of $81,305,000 (or $10.10 per Unit sold in the Offering), including the proceeds of the Private Placement, was placed in trust (the “Trust Account”) and was subsequently invested in United States government treasury bills having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest solely in U.S. treasuries until the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s executive officers have agreed that they will be jointly and severally liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, they may not be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, (1) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its income and other tax obligations and (2) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay for its working capital requirements in connection with searching for a Business Combination.

The Company will seek shareholder approval of the Mergers or any other Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to convert their shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. The Company will proceed with the Mergers or any other Business Combination only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Mergers or any other Business Combination and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company voted are voted in favor of the Mergers or any other Business Combination. In connection with any shareholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, the Sponsors agreed (i) to vote any of their respective shares, including the 2,012,500 shares of common stock sold to the Sponsors in connection with the organization of the Company (the “Sponsors’ Shares”), shares of common stock sold to Sponsors in connection with the Private Placement, and any shares of common stock which were initially issued in connection with the Offering, whether acquired in or after the effective date of the Offering, in favor of the initial Business Combination and (ii) not to convert such respective shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

The Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will continue in existence only until June 23, 2015 (or December 23, 2015 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination by June 23, 2015, but has not completed the initial Business Combination by June 23, 2015). If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem from holders of the outstanding shares sold in the Offering (“Public Stockholders”) 100% of such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. In the event of a liquidation, the Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive a full pro rata interest in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.10 per share after the closing of the Overallotment, plus any pro rata interest earned on the Trust Account not previously released to the Company). The Company’s Sponsors and purchasers of the Private Units have agreed not to participate in such redemption, except with respect to any shares of common stock which were issued in connection with the Offering.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $47,185 in its operating bank accounts and $81,339,095 in restricted cash and equivalents held in trust to be used for an initial business combination or to repurchase or convert its common shares. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has not withdrawn from the trust account any interest income for its working capital and tax obligations. As of December 31, 2014, $34,095 of the amount on deposit in the trust account represents interest income, which was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Until consummation of its initial business combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the trust account, plus the interest earned on the trust account balance (net of income, and other tax obligations) that may be released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the shareholders, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cambridge, Holdco, and Merger Sub. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances that may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions.

Restricted Investments and Cash Equivalents Held in Trust Account

The amounts held in the Trust Account represent substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, investment securities held in the Trust Account consisted solely of $81,339,095 and $81,305,000 of cash equivalents, respectively.

From time to time, the Company may invest the amounts held in the Trust Account in United States Treasury securities, each with maturities of less than sixty days from the date of purchase. The Company has invested the amounts held in the Trust Account in United States Treasury securities and such securities have matured and were reinvested approximately every sixty days. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities”. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and are adjusted for the accretion of discounts.

A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’ fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the “interest income” line item in the statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Conversion

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Common stock subject to mandatory conversion (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally convertible common stock (including common stock that features conversion rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to conversion upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain conversion rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of

the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the common stock subject to possible conversion is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Common shares subject to possible redemption of 7,536,766 and 7,635,074 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the trust earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of (i) warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase 8,522,125 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) 420,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 420,000 common shares included in the unit purchase option sold to the underwriter, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent on the occurrence of future events.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates include the Company’s estimate of the value of the unit purchase option issued to the underwriter of the Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 1, 2013, the evaluation was performed for the 2014 and 2013 tax years, which will be the only periods subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or for the year ended December 31, 2014. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.” This ASU removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt this ASU effective with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 13, 2014 and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2014 through the date which these financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, other than disclosed in Note 9 — “Subsequent Event”, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Note 4 — Merger Agreement

On December 1, 2014, Cambridge entered into the Merger Agreement by and among Cambridge, Holdco, Merger Sub, Parakou and Mr. Por Liu. Subject to certain conditions described therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (i) Cambridge will be merged with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving the Merger and (ii) Merger Sub will be merged with and into Parakou, with Parakou surviving the Merger and becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco.

Parakou is a fully integrated industrial shipping company engaged in the seaborne transportation of liquid petroleum products that owns and operates a fleet of modern medium range, or MR, product tankers. As of December 1, 2014, Parakou’s fleet consists of eight 51,000 deadweight ton MR product tankers, which were transferred in July 2014 from Parakou (International) Limited, a Hong Kong based shipping firm founded in 1985. Parakou’s existing fleet is primarily employed under time-charter contracts with terms generally between three and five years and an average remaining charter, as of December 1, 2014, of 1.5 years. Parakou was incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands in January 2014 and is headquartered in Singapore with an additional office in New York City.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), each share of Cambridge common stock, par value $.0001 (“Cambridge Common Stock”), issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time (other than shares with respect to which conversion rights are properly exercised) will be exchanged for one common share of Holdco, par value $.0001 (“Holdco Common Share”), each Cambridge warrant and purchase option will be deemed to be converted into one Holdco warrant or purchase option, respectively, and Mr. Por Liu will receive 5,800,000 Holdco Common Shares in exchange for all of the common shares of Parakou, par value $0.01. Additionally, Cambridge’s initial stockholders, including certain of its directors and officers, have agreed to cancel an aggregate of 1,012,500 of their shares of Cambridge Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Cambridge Merger. Each of Mr. Por Liu and the Cambridge initial stockholders will have the right to receive additional Holdco Common Shares (up to 2,000,000 additional shares for Mr. Liu in the aggregate and 1,012,500 additional shares for the Cambridge initial stockholders in the aggregate) if Holdco achieves certain EBITDA targets (the “Earn Out Targets”), if Holdco achieves certain share price targets (“Share Price Targets”) or Holdco undergoes a Change of Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in each case, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the Mergers and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Holdco is expected to become the public company and will change its name to “Parakou Tankers, Inc.” After the completion of the proposed Mergers, the public stockholders of Cambridge (other than the Cambridge initial stockholders), the Cambridge initial stockholders and Mr. Por Liu are expected to own 52.5%, 9.6% and 37.9%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Holdco Common Shares, assuming that none of Cambridge’s stockholders exercise their conversion rights in connection with the Mergers. If the Earn Out Targets or Share Price Targets are fully achieved or Holdco undergoes a Change of Control, the public stockholders of Cambridge (other than the Cambridge initial stockholders), the Cambridge initial stockholders and Mr. Por Liu would own 43.9%, 13.6% and 42.5%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Holdco Common Shares, assuming that none of Cambridge’s stockholders exercise their conversion rights in connection with the Mergers.

The closing of the Mergers is subject to approval by the stockholders of Cambridge, holders of no more than 7,536,766 shares (as of December 31, 2014) of the common stock of Cambridge issued in Cambridge’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) exercising their rights to convert their shares into a pro rata share of Cambridge’s trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) in accordance with Cambridge’s charter documents, Cambridge having cash on hand of at least $50,000,000 (if Parakou does not otherwise waive this requirement) after giving effect to payment of amounts that Cambridge will be required to pay to converting stockholders upon consummation of the Mergers and other customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature.

Note 4 — Merger Agreement, continued

 

The Mergers will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since Mr. Por Liu, who will be the sole securityholder of Parakou as of the closing date of the Mergers, will hold at least 37.9% of the outstanding common shares of Holdco as the largest minority voting interest holder immediately following the completion of the Mergers. Furthermore, Parakou will have its current officers assuming all corporate and day-to-day management offices of Holdco, including chief executive officer and chief financial officer; Mr. Por Liu, as well as Mr. Yang Jian Guo, Chief Operating Officer of Parakou, will serve on the board of directors of Holdco upon consummation of the Mergers; and Mr. Por Liu will have the right to designate for nomination to the Holdco board up to three directors, depending on his ownership percentage of Holdco common shares at the time of the nomination. Accordingly, Parakou will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the Mergers and, consequently, the Mergers will be treated as a recapitalization of Parakou. The assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the Holdco financial statements after consummation of the Mergers will be those of Parakou and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Parakou. Cambridge’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Parakou upon consummation of the Mergers.

Note 5 — Public Offering and Private Placement

On December 23, 2013 and December 30, 2013, the Company sold 7,000,000 and 1,050,000 Units, respectively, at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $70,000,000 and $10,500,000, respectively, in the Offering. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock of the Company and one Warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 upon the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination and expiring on December 17, 2018. The Company may redeem the Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the shares of common stock is at least $17.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period (“30-Day Trading Period”) ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given, provided there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such Warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-Day Trading Period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. If the Company redeems the Warrants as described above, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants sold and issued in the Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. If a registration statement is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of a Business Combination, Warrant holders may, beginning on the 91 st day and until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis. In the event that a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant for cash and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise.

On December 23, 2013 and December 30, 2013, the Company sold 427,500 and 44,625 Units, respectively, at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $4,275,000 and $446,250, respectively, in the Private Placement. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the Offering except the warrants included in the Private 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 initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. Additionally, the holders of the Private Units have agreed (A) to vote the shares underlying their Private Units in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated

certificate of incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination, (C) not to convert any shares underlying the Private Units into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an initial Business Combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the shares underlying the Private Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. The purchasers have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the insider shares must agree to, each as described above) until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

The Sponsors and purchasers of the Private Units are entitled to registration rights with respect to their initial shares and the Private Units purchased in the Private Placement. The holders of the majority of the initial shares are entitled to demand that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of a Business Combination. The holders of the Private Units (and underlying securities) are entitled to demand that the Company register these securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsors and purchasers of the Private Units have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.

Pursuant to an agreement with the underwriters of the Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”), the Company paid 3.25% of the gross proceeds of the Offering or $2,616,250 as underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company has further engaged the representative of the underwriters (“Representative”) as an investment banker to provide the Company with merger and acquisition services in connection with its initial Business Combination. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Representative will, if requested, advise and assist the Company in reviewing potential targets with which the Company may consummate a Business Combination as well as structuring the terms of the Business Combination and negotiating the terms of the letter of intent and/or definitive agreement relating to such Business Combination (but not for purposes of finding and/or locating potential targets for its Business Combination). If requested by the Company, the Representative will participate directly in negotiations, review marketing plans and projections of the target, analyze and advise on the financial implications of the transaction, and arrange meetings with and prepare materials for investors . The Company will pay the Representative a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination in an amount equal to $2,415,000 (representing 3.0% of the total gross proceeds raised in the Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable)).

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company has sold to the underwriter, for $100, a unit purchase option to purchase up to a total of 420,000 units exercisable at $10.00 per unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $4,200,000) commencing on the later of the consummation of a Business Combination and December 17, 2014. The unit purchase option expires on December 17, 2018. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to the Units sold in the Offering. The holders of the unit purchase option have demand and “piggy back” registration rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the Public Offering, including securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the unit purchase option.

The Company has accounted for the fair value of the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of a $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company has determined that the fair value of this unit purchase option was approximately $1,402,485 (or $3.34 per Unit) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option was

estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.68% and (3) expected life of five years. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option (except in the case of a forced cashless exercise upon the Company’s redemption of the Warrants, as described above), such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying shares of common stock) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of any cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase option. The holder of the unit purchase option will not be entitled to exercise the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase option unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the unit purchase option is effective or an exemption from registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the unit purchase option or underlying Warrants, the unit purchase option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

The Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Affiliate”). Such Affiliate has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such Affiliate $10,000 per month for such services commencing on December 17, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company has paid $120,000 to the aforementioned Affiliate, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations as Office Expense — Related Party.

The Company has engaged a law firm to assist the Company with its legal matters in identifying, negotiating, and consummating a Business Combination as well as assisting with other legal matters. In connection with the engagement, the Company has agreed to pay the law firm $3,000 per month plus additional legal fees not to exceed $100,000 per calendar year. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will pay the law firm an additional cash fee for its services, the amount of which has not yet been determined and for which the Company is not yet able to provide an estimate.

The Company has a net operating loss of approximately $862,920 that expires beginning in 2033. The ultimate realization of the net operating loss is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, of the Company and may be limited in any one period by alternative minimum tax rules. Although management believes that the Company may have sufficient future taxable income to absorb the net operating loss carryovers before the expiration of the carryover period, there may be circumstances beyond the Company’s control that limit such utilization. Accordingly, management has determined that a full valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset is appropriate at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes limitations on the use of net operating loss carryovers when the stock ownership of one or more 5% shareholders (shareholders owning 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding capital stock) has increased on a cumulative basis by more than 50 percentage points. Management cannot control the ownership changes occurring as a result of public trading of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, there is a risk of an ownership change beyond the control of the Company that could trigger a limitation of the use of the loss carryover.

The Company established a valuation allowance of $324,458 and $3,248 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which fully offset the deferred tax assets of $324,458 and $3,248, respectively.

Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

As of December 31, 2014, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

In connection with the organization of the Company, on December 23, 2013, the Sponsors Shares, consisting of a total of 2,012,500 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold to the Sponsors at a price of approximately $0.01 per share for an aggregate of $25,000. This number included an aggregate of 262,500 shares that would have been subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option had not been exercised in full by the underwriters. On December 23, 2013, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option and such option was fully closed on December 30, 2013. As a result, no shares remain subject to forfeiture.

At December 31, 2014, 2,997,859 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding, excluding 7,536,766 shares subject to possible conversion or tender. At December 31, 2013, 2,899,551 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding, excluding 7,635,074 shares subject to possible conversion or tender. The Sponsors Shares were placed into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited expectations, these shares will not be transferable during the escrow period. Such shares will be released from escrow on the first anniversary of the closing date of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events.

Note 9 — Subsequent Event

Notice of Potential Delisting from NASDAQ

On January 2, 2015, the Company received notice from NASDAQ that, as a result of the Company’s failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within the timeframe required by NASDAQ listing Rules 5620(a) and 5620(b), NASDAQ had determined to delist the Company’s securities from its NASDAQ listing. NASDAQ Rule 5620(a) requires a listed company to hold an annual meeting of stockholders no later than one year after the end of its fiscal year-end, and NASDAQ Rule 5620(b) requires a listed company to solicit proxies and provide proxy statements for all meetings of stockholders and to provide copies of such proxy solicitation to NASDAQ. NASDAQ’s delisting determinations will not immediately result in the delisting of the Company’s securities.

On February 5, 2015, a hearing was held to appeal NASDAQ’s delisting determination. On February 10, 2015, the Company received notice from NASDAQ that NASDAQ granted the Company’s request for continued listing, assuming that the Company has completed an initial business combination prior to July 1, 2015 and that the Company has demonstrated, on the earlier of July 20, 2015 or 20 days after the completion of an initial business combination, that the company is in compliance with the initial listing standards of NASDAQ. If the Company fails to meet NASDAQ’s requirements, its stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ stock market.

Note to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

NOTE 1 — GENERAL:

 

  a. Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd. (the “Company”), a privately held Israeli corporation, incorporated in 1994, together with Ability Security Systems Ltd. (“ASM”) (for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements the “Group”) provide advanced interception, monitoring and cyber intelligence tools to serve the needs and increasing challenges of security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. The Group provides innovative tailored solutions, with lean and flexible processes that enable short sale cycles and fast delivery.

Certain solutions in certain countries are subject to the Israeli Control Order of Commodities and Services - 1974, and the Israeli Control Order Regarding the Engagement in Encryption Items -1998 regulated under the Encryptions export Control Department in the Israeli Ministry of Defense (“IMOD”), other solutions sold through ASM are subject to Defense Export Control Law — 2007 regulated under DECA (Defense Export Control Agency in IMOD). ASM is an Israeli corporation registered with DECA as a certified exporter, wholly owned by an Israeli individual, that his other wholly owned Israeli corporation also provides consultation services to the Company and to ASM. The parties (The Company, ASM and the Israeli individual) are interested in a mutually beneficial commercial relationship based on their complementary skills, commercial connections, experience and capabilities in pursuing business opportunities in the field of DECA controlled products, whereby the Company contributes the substantial business efforts while ASM is responsible mainly for the regulated. These activities are governed by a long-term agreement (“JV Agreement”) and can be terminated and/or transferred to the Company full ownership at any time, subject to the Company’s exclusive discretion as detailed in the JV agreement. The Company and its shareholders were significantly involved in the redesign of ASM operations, in such manner that in essence, the operations are conducted in favor of only the Company (ASM has no other activities other than on behalf of the Company). Moreover, According to the JV Agreement, ASM shall negotiate and determine any project terms and sign contracts with the clients - all with a full transparency, coordination and advance consent from the Company, as applicable. Therefore the Company has the power to govern ASM’s operations through its consent provision of any new client which ASM wishes to accept. The Company is entitled to all, but 3% commission (the return that ASM shareholder is entitled to as a service provider) of ASM’s results which are transferred to the Company, and is fully responsible to indemnify ASM for any losses incurred as part of their joint operations (ASM’s shareholder does not have the obligation to absorb its losses) or any negative consequences with respect to the performance of a project.

When the activities of ASM commenced (following the JV agreement) it did not have equity at risk (no equity and no subordinated loans). All the equity that ASM has achieved is based on the transactions which involved the Company. There are no restrictions on ASM’s assets. Any required financial guarantees are provided by the Company.

Given the Company’s exposure and rights to the outcome of its operations among other factors described above, the Company concluded that ASM is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that the Company is its primary beneficiary. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the two entities.

On September 6, 2015, Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation (“Cambridge”), a public company traded on NASDAQ, Cambridge Holdco Corp., Cambridge’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Holdco”), the Company and the Company’s shareholders entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement” or “Merger”).

NOTE 1 — GENERAL (CONT.):

 

  b. The Merger Agreement provides for (i) the merger of Cambridge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company and (ii) the subsequent exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of the Company by its shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company’s shareholders will receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 17,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco; (ii) $18,150,000 in cash; and (iii) an additional number of ordinary shares of Holdco to be issued upon and subject to the Company achieving certain net income targets following the share exchange, as describe below. Of the shares to be issued, 16,693,267 ordinary shares will be issued to the Company’s shareholders (of which 480,000 will be placed in escrow to be used as consideration for the purchase of ASM) and 480,000 shares will be issued to Migdal Underwriting and Business Initiatives Ltd.

The Company’s shareholders will be entitled to receive additional payments of Holdco shares based on the Company achievement of specified net income targets in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Under the Merger Agreement, each of the Company’s shareholders shall have the right, on one occasion during the 90 day period following the second anniversary of the closing of the merger, to put to Holdco all or part of his pro rata portion of 1,173,267 ordinary shares of Holdco he receives in the share exchange for an amount in cash equal to (1) (x) the number of shares being put multiplied by (y) $10.10 per share plus (2) his pro rata portion of interest, if any, and subject to the pre-ruling granted by the Israel Tax Authority, as generated in the put option escrow account as described below. $11,850,000 shall be deposited into an escrow account, referred to as the put option escrow account, by Holdco at closing of the merger to fund the payment of the purchase price for the put if it is exercised.

The Company will declare and pay a dividend to the Company’s shareholders of $11 million prior to the closing of the merger, which dividend shall be paid from the retained earnings of the Company.

Upon the consummation of the transactions described herein, assuming approval of Cambridge shareholders at a special meeting to be called for such purpose, Holdco will be the new public entity and will change its name to a name to be determined by the parties prior to closing.

The Company may terminate the agreement if Cambridge does not have $40 million available from this trust after giving effect to payments that Cambridge would be required to make to converting shareholders and payments of transaction expenses, and other fees and expenses incurred by both Cambridge and the Company.

The transactions are expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2015 after the required approval by the shareholders of Cambridge and the fulfillment of certain other conditions, all as described herein and in the merger agreement.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

a.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Group’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2015 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

 

  presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full respective fiscal years or any future period.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2014 issued on August 20, 2015.

 

b. Principles of consolidation:

As mentioned in note 1, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and ASM. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

c. Use of estimates:

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

 

d. Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the ‘exit price’) in an arms’ length transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The applicable financial accounting rules establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the reliability of inputs:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group has the ability to access.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active but for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are measured based on Level 1 inputs.

 

e. Subsequent events:

In connection with the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and in accordance with authoritative guidance for subsequent events, the Group evaluated subsequent events after the recent balance sheet date through November 17, 2015, the date on which the condensed consolidated interim financial statements were issued.

NOTE 5 — OTHER:

 

a. Litigation:

 

  i. The Company, its shareholders and a third party entered into an arbitration process in January 2015, following a claim filed with the Tel Aviv Magistrate Court (“Court”) in October 2014 by the third party against the Company and its shareholders (the “Respondents”), contending for entitlement of receipt of accounts and reserving the right to file a monetary claim. The ground of these legal proceedings is a memo of understanding (“MOU”) signed in 2002 by the shareholders and the third party’s spouse (who passed away in 2013) (the “Spouse”), whereby he transferred $150 thousand to the shareholders to import, market and sell certain products and therefore, as defined in the MOU, he is entitled to 15% of the profits derived from these products. Over the years since 2003 through 2013, the Company on behalf of its shareholders paid the Spouse amounts aggregated to NIS4,512 thousand ($1,187 thousand) which were accounted for as a transaction with shareholders and recorded directly into shareholders’ equity.

In April 2015, a counter claim was submitted by the Respondents to the arbitrator contending that the Spouse received an excess amount of NIS1,213 thousand (305$ thousand) and therefore shall be returned to them.

On October 12, 2015, the third party’s representatives filed a request with the Court to nominate an arbitrator; such a request was scheduled to be discussed at the Court on January 12, 2016.

The Company and its legal counsel are of the opinion that it is impossible to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings as to their preliminary stage and that the Company shall not be part of these legal proceedings as it was not a party to the MOU.

 

  ii. On October 27, 2015, the Company received a notice alleging that the Company’s GSM interception and decryption systems apparently fall within the claim of an Israeli patent owned by the claimants. The notice demands that the Company cease from any further use of the claimed technology and further manufacture, export, sale or marketing of the alleged infringing products. The notice also demands an accounting of all such products manufactured, exported, sold or otherwise commercialized by the Company and/or any entity on its behalf. In that regards, On November 12, 2015, a lawsuit was submitted to the Lod District Court in Israel by a company and an individual (the “Plaintiffs”), against the Company and its shareholders. The lawsuit amount for registration fee purpose is NIS5 million ($1,285 thousand), however the Plaintiffs did not specify the demanded compensation amount. Furthermore, the Plaintiffs demands to immediately cease the patent infringement as well as to cease from any further use of the claimed technology and further manufacture, export, sale or marketing of the alleged infringing products by the Company and/or its shareholders.

NOTE 5 — OTHER (CONT.):

 

a. Litigation (cont.):

 

The Company believes the allegations in the notice and the lawsuit are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. The Company and its legal counsel are of the opinion that it is impossible to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings as to their preliminary stage.

 

  iii. On October 15, 2015 the Company was added to a derivative complaint, originally filed by a stockholder of Cambridge against Cambridge, the members of the Cambridge board and others. The complaint generally alleges, among other things, that the members of the Cambridge board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to Cambridge stockholders by approving the contemplated merger with the Company and that the Company is aiding and abetting the Cambridge board of directors in the alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties.

The Action seeks injunctive relief, damages and reimbursement of fees and costs, among other remedies. Further, such action may cause the termination of the Merger as described above.

 

b. Income taxes:

Commencing on January 1, 2015, the Company has elected the “Preferred Enterprise” program under the amendment of the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, whereby the Company will be subject to 9% corporate income tax rate on its Preferred Income generated at Development Area A and 16% corporate income tax rate on its Preferred Income generated at all other areas.

 

c. Other:

During the first quarter of 2015, through an internal investigation conducted by the Company, it was discovered that the Company was a victim of fraud from an outside, unrelated third party. The fraud resulted in an unauthorized outgoing transfer to the third party by the Company in the amount of $462 thousand. While the Company has reported the fraud to the police and to its bank, there can be no assurance that the funds will be recovered. Accordingly, the wire transfer amount has been recorded within general and administrative expense in the statement of comprehensive income for the nine months period ended September 30, 2015.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd. (the “Company”) and consolidated company (“the Group”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidences supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and its results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 — GENERAL:

Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd. (the “Company”), a privately held Israeli corporation, incorporated in 1994, together with Ability Security Systems Ltd. (“ASM”) (for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements the “Group”) provide advanced interception, monitoring and cyber intelligence tools to serve the needs and increasing challenges of security and intelligence agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies worldwide. The Group provides innovative tailored solutions, with lean and flexible processes that enable short sale cycles and fast delivery.

Certain solutions in certain countries are subject to the Israeli Control Order of Commodities and Services - 1974, and the Israeli Control Order Regarding the Engagement in Encryption Items -1998 regulated under the Encryptions export Control Department in the Israeli Ministry of Defense (“IMOD”), other solutions sold through ASM are subject to Defense Export Control Law — 2007 regulated under DECA (Defense Export Control Agency in IMOD). ASM is an Israeli corporation registered with DECA as a certified exporter, wholly owned by an Israeli individual, that his other wholly owned Israeli corporation also provides consultation services to the Company and to ASM. The parties (The Company, ASM and the Israeli individual) are interested in a mutually beneficial commercial relationship based on their complementary skills, commercial connections, experience and capabilities in pursuing business opportunities in the field of DECA controlled products, whereby the Company contributes the substantial business efforts while ASM is responsible mainly for the regulated. These activities are governed by a long-term agreement (“JV Agreement”) and can be terminated and/or transferred to the Company full ownership at any time, subject to the Company’s exclusive discretion as detailed in the JV agreement. The Company and its shareholders were significantly involved in the redesign of ASM operations, in such manner that in essence, the operations are conducted in favor of only the Company (ASM has no other activities other than on behalf of the Company). Moreover, According to the JV Agreement, ASM shall negotiate and determine any project terms and sign contracts with the clients — all with a full transparency, coordination and advance consent from the Company, as applicable. Therefore the Company has the power to govern ASM’s operations through its consent provision of any new client which ASM wishes to accept. The Company is entitled to all, but 3% commission (the return that ASM shareholder is entitled to as a service provider) of ASM’s results which are transferred to the Company, and is fully responsible to indemnify ASM for any losses incurred as part of their joint operations (ASM’s shareholder does not have the obligation to absorb its losses) or any negative consequences with respect to the performance of a project.

When the activities of ASM commenced (following the JV agreement) it did not have equity at risk (no equity and no subordinated loans). All the equity that ASM has achieved is based on the transactions which involved the Company. There are no restrictions on ASM’s assets. Any required financial guarantees are provided by the Company.

Given the Company’s exposure and rights to the outcome of its operations among other factors described above, the Company concluded that ASM is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that the Company is its primary beneficiary. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the two entities.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

a. Basis of presentation:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Group’s financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the periods presented.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.):

 

b. Principles of consolidation:

As mentioned in note 1, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and ASM. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

c. Use of estimates:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

 

d. Foreign currency:

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Group is conducted is the U.S. dollar (“Dollar” or “$”); thus, the Dollar is the functional currency of the Group. Therefore, the Company’s transactions and balances denominated in Dollars are presented at their original amounts, while non-Dollar transactions and balances have been re-measured to Dollars and the relating gains and losses are reflected in the statements of comprehensive income (loss) as finance income or expenses, as appropriate.

All amounts are presented in Dollars, unless otherwise indicated, rounded to the nearest thousands.

 

e.   Revenue recognition:

The Group generates revenues from sales of products, which include hardware, software, integration, training and warranty. The Group sells its products (“Products”) and provides services (“Services”) directly to end users and resellers and also participates as a subcontractor of prime contractors in joint projects and as a prime contractor in projects with resellers (the “Projects”).

Generally, the Group’s offerings contain a significant differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the Group is unable to reliably determine what similar competitor products’ selling prices are on a standalone basis.

Accordingly, when a sale arrangement contains multiple elements, the Group allocates revenue to each element based on estimated selling price (“ESP”) as neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third party evidence are available. ESP is established considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, historical sales, pricing practices and geographies in which the Group offers its products. The determination of ESP is judgmental.

Products and Services:

Revenues from sales of Products are recognized when the Group has delivered products to the customer and retained final acceptance, the revenue can be reliably measured and collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured.

Revenues from sales of Services are recognized ratably in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.):

 

e.   Revenue recognition (cont.):

 

Projects:

Revenues from Projects are recognized using the completed-contract method to determine the appropriate amount in a given period, as the Group is unable to produce reasonably dependable estimates due to involvement of many subcontractors and lack of transparency of prime contractors’ progress.

Under the completed-contract method, costs are accumulated on the balance sheet until the contract is complete or substantially complete. Similarly, amounts billed to customers are also deferred until the contract is complete or substantially complete. To the extent that the amount of accumulated costs exceeds the amount of advance (or progress) payments received or billed by the Group, the excess should be reflected on the balance sheet as a current asset, separate from inventory. To the extent that the amount of advance (or progress) payments received or billed by the Group exceeds the amount of accumulated costs, the excess is reflected as a liability on the balance sheet.

The Group provides a one year warranty for the majority of its products. Based on the Group’s experience the provision is deminimis.

 

f. Advertising costs:

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. In 2014 and 2013, advertising expenses were $7 thousand and $14 thousand, respectively.

 

g. Inventory:

Inventories are comprised of finished goods and stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The valuation of the inventory requires making estimates regarding excess or obsolete inventories, including making estimates of the future demand for the Group’s products considering technological developments and other factors.

 

h. Related parties:

Related Parties include the Company’s shareholders and entities controlled by them.

 

i. Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the ‘exit price’) in an arms’ length transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The applicable financial accounting rules establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the reliability of inputs:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group has the ability to access.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active but for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are measured based on Level 1 inputs.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.):

 

j. Property and equipment, net:

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Upon the retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed and any related gain or loss is recorded in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). Repairs and maintenance that do not extend the life or improve an asset are expensed in the periods incurred.

The Group evaluates its property and equipment for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if the carrying amounts of such assets exceed the estimates of future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. Should impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group has not written down any of its property and equipment as a result of impairment.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:

 

             %                Useful life (years)    

Vehicles

   15    7

Leasehold improvements

   10-20    5-10

Office furniture and equipment

   7-10    10-14

Computers, electronics and related

   15-33    3-7

 

k. Income Taxes:

Deferred tax asset and liability accounts’ balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Group accounts for deferred taxes on non-distributed income that are subject to income taxes once distributed and when there is an intent to distribute them.

The Group applies the two-step approach in recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

l. Subsequent events:

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and in accordance with authoritative guidance for subsequent events, the Group evaluated subsequent events after the recent balance sheet date through August 20, 2015, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were issued.

NOTE 3 — RESTRICTED DEPOSITS:

The Group is required to provide banks performance guarantees in certain projects secured by deposits.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group’s outstanding banks performance guaranties aggregated to $1,402 thousand and $1,100 thousand, respectively.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Legal proceedings

The Company, its shareholders and a third party entered into an arbitration process in January 2015, following a claim filed with the Tel Aviv Magistrate Court in October 2014 by the third party against the Company and its shareholders (the “Respondents”), contending for entitlement of receipt of accounts and reserving the right to file a monetary claim. The ground of these legal proceedings is a memo of understanding (“MOU”) signed in 2002 by the shareholders and the third party’s spouse (who passed away in 2013) (the “Spouse”), whereby he transferred $150 thousand to the shareholders to import, market and sell certain products and therefore, as defined in the MOU, he is entitled to 15% of the profits derived from these products. Over the years since 2003 through 2013, the Company on behalf of its shareholders paid the Spouse amounts aggregated to NIS4,512 thousand ($1,187 thousand) which were accounted for as a transaction with shareholders and recorded directly into shareholders’ equity.

In April 2015, a counter claim was submitted by the Respondents to the arbitrator contending that the Spouse received an excess amount of NIS1,213 thousand ($305 thousand) and therefore shall be returned to them.

The Company and its legal counsel are of the opinion that it is impossible to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings as to their preliminary stage and that the Company shall not be part of these legal proceedings as it was not a party to the MOU.

Lease commitments

The Company has the following lease agreements:

 

1. A 5 year lease agreement with respect to an office space expiring on November 30, 2017. The monthly rent is NIS25 thousand ($6 thousand) linked to the Israeli consumer products index.

 

2. The Company had an agreement with respect to an office space which was renewed in August 2015 for 12 months, the monthly rent is NIS5 thousand ($1 thousand).

 

3. A 17 month lease agreement with respect to a warehouse space expired on June 30, 2015. The monthly rent is NIS2.4 thousand ($1 thousand).

In the 2014 and 2013, the rent expenses amounted to $114 thousand and $109 thousand, respectively.

NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES:

The Israeli corporate tax rate in 2012 and 2013 is 25% and in 2014 onward is 26.5%.

The Company was granted an ‘approved enterprise’ status for 10 years ended December 31, 2014, under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “Encouragement Law”). The tax benefit is a reduced corporate income tax rate on a non-distributed income generated in approved areas (“Approved Income”). Distributed Approved Income is subject to 25% corporate income tax at the Company level and 15% withholding income taxes on the shareholders level.

As of December 31, 2011, upon a tax assessment by the Israeli Tax Authority, all the accumulated Approved Income was distributed as dividends to the shareholders and the applicable income taxes applied. As the Company intends to distribute its Approved Income to its shareholders, a deferred tax liability is recorded on the non-distributed Approved Income as generated, on the difference of the reduced corporate income tax rate applied and 25%, as well as related deferred income taxes expenses.

Net Income Target, the 2015 Net Income Shares. In addition, (i) if Surviving Pubco fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target but Net Income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2015 Net Income Target (i.e., 92%) and Net Income for 2016 is a higher percentage of the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e., 97%), then Surviving Pubco shall issue to the Stockholders, in addition to the pro rata 2016 Net Income Shares (i.e., 97%) required by Section 1.13(e), such number of Surviving Pubco Shares for 2015 in accordance Section 1.13(e) based on the difference (i.e. 5%) between the percentage of Net Income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 97%) and the Net Income for 2015 as compared to the 2015 Net Income Target (i.e. 92%), or (ii) if Surviving Pubco fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target and Net Income for such fiscal year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the 2015 Net Income Target but Net Income for 2016 is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 95%), then Surviving Pubco shall issue to the Stockholders, in addition to the pro rata of 2016 Net Income Shares (i.e. 95%) required by Section 1.13(e), such number of Surviving Pubco Shares for 2015 in accordance Section 1.13(e) based on the same percentage of Net Income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 95%). For purposes of clarity, the catch-up allowance described in this clause (f) shall not apply to any other time periods or targets other than those specifically referenced in this clause (f).

(g) As used herein,

(i) “ Net Income ” means net income of Surviving Pubco as set forth in Surviving Pubco’s audited financial statements for any applicable year, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“ U.S. GAAP ”). Net Income shall not take into account any net income (loss) that exists for a company acquired by Surviving Pubco or the Company after the Effective Time at the time of its acquisition; provided , however , any subsequent net income (loss) after the date of such acquisition shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Net Income targets have been achieved. For instance and solely by way of illustration, if the Company acquires a company with $1 million of net income on October 31, 2015, any net income in November 2015 and December 2015 would be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the 2015 Net Income target has been achieved, and then if net income attributable to such acquisition was $6 million in 2016, then $6 million of such 2016 net income would be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the 2016 Net Income target has been achieved. In addition, the calculation of Net Income for all purposes under this Section 1.13 shall not include (x) any expenses paid or incurred by the Company, Surviving Pubco or Cambridge in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or as otherwise set forth on Schedule 5.23 of this Agreement; and (y) any and all losses or expenses incurred by the Company, Surviving Pubco or Cambridge in connection with the litigation described on Schedule 3.10.

(ii) “ Net Income Shares ” means, subject to Section 1.13(e), the sum of the 2015 Net Income Shares, the 2016 Net Income Shares, the 2017 Net Income Shares and the 2018 Net Income Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 1.13.

(iii) “ Net Income Target ” means, as the context requires, each of the 2015 Net Income Target, the 2016 Net Income Target, the 2017 Net Income Target or the 2018 Net Income Target.

(h) Subject to compliance with Applicable Law, any Net Income Shares to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall be (i) issued automatically and without requiring approval from the Surviving Pubco Board other than approvals granted in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) allocated as set forth on Schedule 1.13(h) , and (iii) automatically equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately (x) the effect of any stock split, consolidation, reverse stock split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Surviving Pubco Shares), cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Surviving Pubco Shares occurring on or after the date such Net Income Shares are issued, and (y) any breach or inaccuracy of either Section 2.3 or 3.3.

(i) Not later than 150 days after the fiscal year with respect to which Net Income is calculated, Surviving Pubco shall deliver to the Cambridge Representative its Net Income calculation (the “ Net Income

Calculation ”), which shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless the Cambridge Representative, within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Net Income Calculation, notifies Surviving Pubco in writing that it disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefore. The parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and, if the parties so resolve all disputes, the Net Income Calculation, as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties do not reach agreement in resolving the dispute within ten (10) Business Days after notice is given to Surviving Pubco by the Cambridge Representative, the parties shall submit the dispute to an independent accounting firm which is mutually agreeable to the parties (the “ Accounting Arbiter ”). Within thirty (30) days of such submission, the Accounting Arbiter shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Accounting Arbiter shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Surviving Pubco and the Cambridge Representative, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting Net Income Calculation which shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Arbiter (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.13(g) and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party . The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbiter shall be borne by Surviving Pubco. Subject to the requirement to act in good faith in accordance with Section 1.11 herein, the Cambridge Representative shall be entitled to engage a firm of independent accountants to advise it with respect to the Net Income Calculation, with the all fees and expenses of such firm to be paid by Surviving Pubco.

(j) Except as set forth in Section 1.13(d), Net Income Shares shall be issued to the Persons entitled to them no later than thirty (30) days after the Net Income Calculation becomes conclusive and binding for the fiscal year with respect to such Net Income Shares are earned.

1.14. Sale Restriction . Prior to the Effective Time, (i) those Persons set forth on Schedule 1.14(i) shall enter into a Lock-Up Agreement in the form of Exhibit D-1 (the “ One Year Lock-Up Agreement ”), and (ii) those Persons set forth on Schedule 1.14(ii) shall enter into a Lock-Up Agreement in the form of Exhibit D-2 (the “ Two Year Lock-Up Agreement, ” and together with the One Year Lock-Up Agreement, the “ Lock-Up Agreements ”). Surviving Pubco’s register of members and the Surviving Pubco Certificates evidencing the Surviving Pubco Shares issued as a result of the Share Exchange shall each include prominent disclosure or bear a prominent legend evidencing the fact that such shares are subject to such Lock-Up Agreements.

Table of Contents

(b) As used in this Article VII, the term “ Losses ” shall include on a dollar for dollar basis all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses) including those arising from any demands, claims, suits, actions, costs of investigation, notices of violation or noncompliance, causes of action, proceedings and assessments whether or not made by third parties or whether or not ultimately determined to be valid; provided that in no event will Losses include any indirect, incidental, remote, exemplary, special, consequential, diminution of value, failure to realize savings or benefits, punitive, lost profits, loss of use, or other multiple-based losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, orders, penalties, settlements, costs or expenses.

(c) Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (and not for determining whether a representation or warranty or covenant has been breached or is inaccurate) for which the Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,” “materially,” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and without giving effect to such words.

(d) Any payment for an Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be made out of the Escrow Shares by transferring to the Surviving Pubco that number of Escrow Shares that is equal to the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss as determined by the terms of the Continental Escrow Agreement, subject to Section 7.4 . As used in this Article VII , the term “ Indemnifiable Loss ” means an amount equal to (A) the amount of any Loss multiplied by the number that is (B) equal to one minus the quotient of (1) the total number of shares representing the Closing Date Share Consideration, including the Escrow Shares, divided by (2) the total number of shares of Surviving Pubco Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the Closing.

7.2. Indemnification of Third Party Claims . The indemnification obligations and liabilities under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against a party under an obligation to indemnify pursuant to Sections 7.1 other than the Indemnified Parties (a “ Third Party Claim ”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Notice of Claim . The Indemnified Parties will give the Stockholders prompt written notice after receiving written notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (a “ Notice of Claim ”) which Notice of Third Party Claim shall set forth (i) a brief description of the nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the underlying representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached and the facts then known on which such alleged breach is based, (iii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith), and (iv) whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance, and the Stockholders shall be entitled to participate in the defense of Third Party Claim at their expense.

(b) Defense . The Stockholders shall have the right, at their option (subject to the limitations set forth in subsection 7.2(c) below) and at their own expense, by written notice to the Indemnified Parties, to assume the entire control of, subject to the right of the Indemnified Parties to participate (at their expense and with counsel of their choice) in, the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and reputable counsel to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided that the Stockholders’ assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim will not, vis-à-vis the Indemnified Parties, constitute acceptance of liability to the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII. So long as the Stockholders are contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not pay or settle any such claim; provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim at any time, provided that in such event, the Indemnified Parties shall waive any right of indemnification therefor under this Article VII. If the Stockholders elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:

 

A-47


Table of Contents

(i) the Stockholders shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep the Indemnified Parties reasonably informed of the status of such defense and shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Stockholders shall obtain the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party before entering into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided further , that no such consent shall be required for any such compromise or settlement that: (A) is exclusively monetary and will be paid in full out of the Escrow Shares (rather than by the applicable Indemnified Party); (B) does not contain an admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party; and (C) unconditionally and fully releases the applicable Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; and

(ii) the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Stockholders in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including the selection of counsel and in making any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross-complaint against any Person, and the Indemnified Parties shall make available to the Stockholders all pertinent information and documents under its control, including by providing the Stockholders with reasonable access during normal business hours of the applicable Indemnified Party to books, records and personnel of the applicable Indemnified Party (but only to the extent relevant to such Third Party Claim).

(c) Limitations of Right to Assume Defense . The Stockholders shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Stockholders which is not merely incidental to a primary damage claim or claims for monetary damages; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim would result in a Material Adverse Effect of Surviving Pubco.

(d) Other Limitations . Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Parties and shall not affect the Indemnifying Parties’ duties or obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have (i) adversely affected the ability of the Stockholders to defend against or reduce the Indemnifiable Losses or (ii) caused or increased such Indemnifiable Losses or otherwise caused the Indemnifiable Losses to be greater than such Indemnifiable Losses would have been had the Indemnified Parties given the Stockholders prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Stockholders are defending any such action actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not settle such action. The Indemnified Parties shall make available to the Stockholders all relevant records and other relevant materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Parties, for the use of the Stockholders and their representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(e) Failure to Defend . If the Stockholders, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fail to defend such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Parties, at their own cost and expense, will (upon further written notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as they may determine in their reasonable discretion, provided that the Stockholders shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(f) Indemnifying Parties Consent . Unless the Stockholders have consented to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of the settlement shall not be a binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Continental Escrow Agreement.

(g) Advancement of Defense Costs . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Surviving Pubco shall advance to or pay on behalf of the Stockholders the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholders in connection with the defense of any alleged Indemnifiable

Table of Contents

Matter asserted by the Surviving Pubco, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided, however, if it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnifiable Losses related to any such indemnifiable matter shall be satisfied through the availability of the Escrow Shares, the advances to or payments made on behalf of the Stockholders shall count towards the aggregate Indemnifiable Losses incurred by the Surviving Pubco in connection with such indemnifiable matter.

7.3. Insurance Effect . To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are covered by insurance paid for by the Surviving Pubco or the Company prior to or after the Closing, the Surviving Pubco and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that the Indemnified Parties shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by the Indemnified Parties for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing from the Escrow Shares. If the Surviving Pubco has received the payment required by this Agreement from the Escrow Shares in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Stockholders and shall return to escrow the Escrow Shares released to the Indemnified Parties or in the event of a subsequent sale thereof, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount realized by the Indemnified Parties upon such sale. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

7.4. Limitations on Indemnification . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII or elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms will apply to any claim arising out of this Agreement or related to the transactions contemplated hereby:

(a) Survival: Time Limitation . The representations and warranties of the parties under this Agreement will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time such representations and warranties will expire (the “ Basic Survival Period ”) except that the right of the Indemnified Parties to bring (i) Additional Indemnity Claims shall survive the Closing for the period that ends on the Additional Indemnity Escrow Termination Date (the “ Additional Indemnity Survival Period ”), (ii) Claims for the breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 2.1(a) and (b) and 2.4, 1.12(b)(i) and 1.12(b)(ii) shall survive without limitation as to time, and (iii) Claims for the breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1 and 3.4 shall survive without limitation as to time. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the shorter period explicitly specified therein, except that for such covenants and agreements that survive for such shorter period, breaches thereof shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by law.

(b) Any indemnification claim made by the Indemnified Parties prior to the termination of the Basic Survival Period or the Additional Indemnity Survival Period (each a “ Survival Period ”), as the case may be, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be preserved despite the subsequent termination of such Survival Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of such Survival Period shall survive until final resolution thereof. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the Survival Period or the Additional Indemnity Survival Period, as the case may be.

(c) Deductible . No amount shall be payable under Article VII unless and until the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable exceeds $1,500,000 (the “ Deductible ”), in which event all

 

A-49


Table of Contents

Indemnifiable Losses so due in excess of the Deductible shall be paid out of the Escrow Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Deductible shall not apply to any claims for Indemnifiable Losses for the breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.6 (Compliance).

(d) Aggregate Amount Limitations . The aggregate liability for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not in any event exceed the Escrow Shares in the case of Basic Indemnity Claims or the Additional Indemnity Shares in the case of Additional Indemnity Claims, and Surviving Pubco shall have no claim against the Stockholders other than for any of such Escrow Shares (and any non-cash dividends declared and actually paid with respect to the Escrow Shares).

(e) No Double Recovery . In the event that any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VII are recoverable under more than one provision of this Agreement, the Indemnified Parties will only be permitted to recover with respect to any particular Losses suffered by it one time as it is the parties’ intention that once any particular Losses have been recovered by the Indemnified Parties under one provision, such Losses no longer exist and, therefore, recovery by the Indemnified Parties for such same Losses under another provision would constitute an unintended and prohibited “double” recovery.

(f) Miscellaneous Limitations . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, the Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 for any Loss underlying such indemnification claim to the extent that: (i) the Indemnified Parties could have, with commercially reasonable efforts, mitigated or prevented such Loss (or any part thereof); (ii) such Loss (or any part thereof) results from or is increased by the action or inaction of any Indemnified Parties or any Affiliate thereof; (iii) such Loss (or any part thereof) arises, or is increased, as a result of a change after the Closing in any accounting principle, method or policy, or (iv) Cambridge had, prior to the Closing Date, actual knowledge of a breach of the applicable representation, warranty or covenant.

7.5. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY . HOLDCO (WHICH SHALL SURVIVE THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER TO BECOME SURVIVING PUBCO, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE PURSUANT AND SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET

FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE VII. ACCORDINGLY, EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY REMEDY, LIABILITY AND ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE PURSUANT TO LAW OR EQUITY OTHER THAN THE REMEDIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED UNDER THIS ARTICLE VII. FURTHERMORE, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT COVENANTS NOT TO SUE OR OTHERWISE THREATEN ANY CLAIM THAT INCLUDES ANY REMEDY WAIVED BY THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, AND SUCH PARTIES AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE AGREEMENT, WAIVERS AND RELEASES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 7.5 ARE CONSPICUOUS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE VII SHALL IN ANY WAY IMPAIR, MODIFY OR OTHERWISE LIMIT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES’ RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIM, DEMAND OR SUIT AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY BASED UPON SUCH OTHER PARTY’S ACTUAL FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL OR WILLFUL MISREPRESENTATION OR OMISSION, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT A MERE BREACH OF A REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY, WITHOUT INTENTIONAL OR WILLFUL MISREPRESENTATION OR OMISSION, DOES NOT CONSTITUTE FRAUD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND FOR PURPOSE OF FURTHER CLARITY, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS SECTION 7.5, SHALL SERVE TO LIMIT OR ELIMINATE ANY REMEDY AVAILABLE TO CAMBRIDGE OR THE SURVIVING PUBCO AT LAW OR EQUITY UNDER THE JOINT VENTURE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT.

Table of Contents

7.6. Adjustment to Merger Consideration . Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the value of the Surviving Pubco Shares issued by Surviving Pubco as a result of the Transactions, except as otherwise required by Law.

7.7. Representative Capacities; Application of Escrow Shares . The parties acknowledge that the Cambridge Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the stockholders of Cambridge immediately prior to the Effective Time in the manner set forth in the Continental Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify the Surviving Pubco under this Article VIII and that the Cambridge Representative shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to the Surviving Pubco as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Escrow Shares. Reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses of the Cambridge Representative for attorneys’ fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by the Surviving Pubco, which may make a claim for reimbursement thereof as part of the Indemnifiable Losses against the Escrow Shares upon the claim with respect to which such expenses are incurred becoming an Established Claim (as defined in the Continental Escrow Agreement). The Continental Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Continental Escrow Agreement after the Closing, may apply all or a portion of the Escrow Shares to satisfy any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The value of the Escrow Shares shall be determined in accordance with this Agreement and the Continental Escrow Agreement. The Continental Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion of the Escrow Shares until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto.

7.8. Tax Benefits . The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided shall be reduced by any net Tax benefit to such Indemnified Party and its Affiliates, to the extent realized by such party as a result of such Losses, including the present value (determined by discounting at 8%) of the benefit arising from an increase in the Tax basis of assets, net of any Tax costs incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt of the indemnification payments hereunder. In calculating the amount of net Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall be presumed to pay Taxes at a forty percent (40%) Tax rate. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such documentation as may be reasonably requested in order to ascertain or confirm the amount of any net Tax benefit or net Tax cost referred to herein.

7.9. Mitigation . A Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by it arising out of any matter for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that no Indemnified Party shall be required to (i) take any action or refrain from taking any action that is contrary to any applicable Contract, order or law binding on it or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with such mitigation (other than de minimis incidental expenses).

7.10. NO RELIANCE . AS MODIFIED BY THE APPLICABLE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES, THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY CONTAINED IN ARTICLE II AND CAMBRIDGE AND HOLDCO IN ARTICLE III, CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT HERETO. EXCEPT FOR SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAKES ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE. EACH PARTY CONFIRMS THAT IT IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS NO RELIANCE CONFIRMATION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY’S WILLINGNESS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND BY ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT HERETO.

The Board of Directors

Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corp.

525 South Flagler Drive, Suite 201

West Palm Beach, Florida 33401

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We understand that Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” and/or “CAMB” and/or the “Client”) intends to enter into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Cambridge, Cambridge Holdco, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Holdco”), Cambridge Merger Sub, Inc., Holdco’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd. (the “Target” and/or “Ability”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Target, with the Target surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In consideration therefor, and pursuant to the Merger, we understand that the Company is contemplated to pay for all of the outstanding shares of common stock and other equity interests of the Target, on a cash-free, debt-free basis, through the payment of cash and the issuance of the common stock of the Company, an aggregate purchase price of comprised of USD 19.1 million (the “Cash Consideration”), Put Option Shares Consideration — the Company will issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 1,079,208 new, fully paid, non-assessable ordinary shares of the Company that will hold a put option (“Put Shares”), 16,000,000 newly-issued common stock of the Company (the “Transaction Shares”) and an aggregate additional shares of up to 8,350,000 of the company (the “Earn-out Shares”). The Cash Consideration, the Transaction Shares and the Earn-out Shares are hereunder referred to as the “Consideration”. The Consideration is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

You have requested our opinion as to (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the Consideration to be paid by the Company in the Merger as of September 1, 2015 and (ii) whether the fair market value of the Target (measured by the enterprise values implied by the various financial analyses we conducted in connection with our opinion) equals or exceeds 80% of the amount held by the Company in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders.

In connection with the preparation of the opinion set forth herein, we have examined, among other things: (a) reviewed a letter of intent dated June 30, 2015, of the Merger Agreement and reviewed a draft of the Merger Agreement; (b) audited historical financial statements of the Target for the fiscal years ended December 31 and 2013, December 31, 2014, and unaudited (reviewed) financial statements as of June 30, 2015, in addition to certain financial information for fiscal year 2012 (c) certain publicly available financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and for the six months ending on June 30, 2015; (d) certain internal business, operating and financial information and forecasts of the Target prepared by senior management of the Target, and reviewed by senior management of the Company and approved for our use (the “Forecasts”); (e) certain information regarding the financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Merger and the prospects of the Target provided to us by the Target; (f) certain information regarding publicly available financial terms of certain other business combinations we deemed relevant; (g) financial information (including the financial position and operating results) of the Target compared with financial and trading information of certain publicly traded companies we deemed relevant; (h) the Bloomberg database, and (i) certain other publicly available information regarding the industry.

We have also held discussions with members of the senior management and of the Company and the Target and the Company’s investment banking advisor, Migdal Underwriting & Business Initiatives Ltd. and other advisors, to discuss the foregoing, the past and current business operations and the financial condition and future prospects of the Target. We have considered such other matters that we have deemed relevant to our inquiry and have taken into account such financial and other procedures and considerations as we have deemed relevant or appropriate.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed and relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of all the information examined by or otherwise reviewed or discussed with us for purposes of this opinion, including, without limitation, the Forecasts and the Company’s historical financial information. We have not made or obtained an independent valuation or appraisal of the assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise) or solvency of the Company or the Target. We have been advised by the senior management of the Company that the Forecasts and the other prospective financial information prepared for our use by the senior management of the Company and examined by us have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the senior management of the Company. In that regard, we have assumed, with your consent that all material assets and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company and Target are as set forth in the Target’s financial statements made available to us. We have particularly assumed, with your consent, that Target does not have any assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) that would be material to the opinion expressed herein that are not reflected in the financial statements of the Target made available to us. We express no opinion with respect to the Forecasts or other prospective financial information or the estimates and judgments on which they are based.

We did not consider and express no opinion as to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the Target’s or the Company’s officers, directors or employees (or any class of such persons), whether such payments are made to persons holding such positions before or after the Merger, relative to the Consideration or otherwise.

As indicated from the chart above, the Target relies heavily of sales in Latin America. According and more specifically (and most recently) on one major Latin American government Agency with which it has extensive business. On the same note, while Europe accounted for 42.9% of sales in 2012 in only accounted for 1.3% of sales in the first half of 2015. This pattern of variation may result in the Target having highly volatile revenue streams once big contracts end. However, it should be noted over the past three years the Target had demonstrated a general pattern of strong growth, mainly due to the fact that more and more individuals worldwide switch to smartphones which concentrate enormous quantities of information about such individuals and drive the growth in the LI market.

Sales by Product Type

Target offers a verity of lawful interception solutions. According to its management, one of Target’s main competitive advantage is the fact that is acts as a value added integrator of systems from different manufactures (with some of which it is also a direct competitors) creating solutions with seamless operability and exceptionally easy-to-operate interfaces. Following is a chart describing sales by product types:

 

LOGO

Over the last 4 years, most sales were of cellular interception systems, accounting for 91.8% of total sales in 2013. Another main segment over the years was Geolocation products that accounted for 37.5% and 33.4% of total sales in 2012 and 2014 respectively. In 2014 the company introduced new Cyber, data mining and extraction from iOS and Android systems (“Cyber”) that was responsible to 33.8% of sales in 2014. This pattern of variation may result in the Target having highly volatile revenue streams once big contracts end. However, as noted earlier, the Target had demonstrated a general pattern of strong growth over the past 3 years.

Target Risk Analysis

Following are the main risks associated with Target’s operations as described to us by the Company and the Target:

 

  Key Customers: Major customers and vendors are defined as ones from whom the Group derives at least 10% of its revenues and cost of revenues, respectively. During 2014 and 2013, the revenues from major customers aggregated to 83% and 80% from the total consolidated revenues, respectively. During 2014 and 2013, the cost of revenues from major vendors aggregated to 74% and 51% from the total consolidated cost of revenues, respectively. The Target is making efforts to reduce this high dependency on major customers, since this dependency may cause its future revenues to fluctuate significantly and may also cause future revenues to be significantly lower than past revenues.

 

  Technological risk — the LI market is relatively new and there is a risk that Target will not be able to keep up with new emerging technologies. To mitigate this risk Target extensively works with 3 rd party subcontractors supplying it with cutting-edge technologies.

 

  Regulatory risk — the LI arena is affected by changes in regulation that may restrict sales either in certain countries or of certain products. It is our understanding from Target’s management that Target sells only to government entities that are not “black-listed”.

 

  Political Risk — as sales are made to government agencies, there is a risk of early contract termination if a client government becomes unstable or financially distressed. The Target’s main client is a Latin American government agency. Latin America has experienced in the past and may experience in the future political and financial turmoil that may adversely and materially affect Target’s business.

 

  Backlog instability risk — Growth estimates are based on a certain extent of current sales and backlog. The Target experienced a very strong growth in recent years. If this growth stops for some reason, the value of Target will sharply decrease.

 

  Competition — As the Target operates in a very profitable market, with a strong demand for products, it runs a risk of increased competition both from the private sector and also from governments that may opt to develop cyber abilities in-house.

 

  Key personnel — Target depends on key personnel, mainly its founders, to maintain its growth and customer relations. If such key personnel were to leave the Target, business results may materially decline.

 

  Fluctuations in currency rates – The Target is exposed to currency risk due to its global sales. Sharp changes in exchange rates may adversely affect its business

 

  Key Suppliers — the Target does not own most of the technology it uses in its products. These technologies are own and developed by the Target’s suppliers. If the relationship with certain key suppliers is compromised, Target’s business may suffer. Target management indicated that it makes efforts to find alternative suppliers and sign binding contracts with existing suppliers to mitigate this risk.

Cash and cash equivalents: Target’s revenue and net earnings growth has increased significantly its cash balances to $18.6 million as of June 30, 2015. During 2013-2014 the Target also distributes $2 million in dividends and repaid shareholders’ loans. Target demonstrated its ability to generate such sales without the need of major capital expenditures as shown in the low Property and equipment item. It is important to note that as part of the merger all of the cash excess will be distributed as dividend to the current shareholders before the merger.

Working Capital: Due to advance payments from customers, Target has negative working capital. According to management, this is due to the nature of its business, where clients such as governments pays significant advance payments. The negative Working Capital was 40% of revenues on December 30, 2014 and it decreased towards 16% on June 30, 2015.

Property and equipment, net: The property and equipment balance increased at about $140 thousands between 12/2013 and H-2015, while Target’s annual revenues soared by more than $37 million at the same period. This means that the Target’s growth required no major CAPEX.

Revenues

Revenues grew significantly in 2014 and in the first half of 2015, with June 30, 2015’s LTM revenues reaching $48.7 million. The increase is due to growing market demand with the bulk of sales concentrated on cellular interception systems in Latin America.

Note: on a cash basis (Non-US-GAAP) 2014 revenues were c.$26 million 4 ($22.1 million on US-GAAP basis). According to Target’s management, the difference is caused by the US-GAAP revenue recognition method. It should also be noted that Target’s contracts often contain recurring service and support revenues.

COGs

COGs are mainly made up of procurement of systems from 3 rd party vendors.

EBITDA Margin

Target improved its EBITDA margin significantly along the years reaching 46.8% of sales in the second half of 2015. This gives a strong indication of the value of Target’s products to its customers.

Net Income

Net income shows strong growth in recent years.

Note: on a cash basis (Non-US-GAAP) net income grew from $1.2 million, $3.6 million and $11.2 million 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively. According to Target’s management, the difference is caused by the US-GAAP revenue recognition method.

Backlog Analysis

According to Target’s management, it has a backlog (comprised of signed purchase orders) of $65.7 million in projects around the globe, of which 80% are with Latin American clients. The backlog is expected to generate over 40% gross margin in H2-2015. According to management, the backlog includes only projects in progress that are planned to be completed through 2015-2016, and excludes later phases of projects that are planned for later than 2016.

Fairness Analysis of the Consideration from the Financial Point of View of CAMB

From a financial point of view, and from CAMB’s point of view, the fairness of the Merger will be determined by comparing the value of Target as implied from the compensation paid to its shareholders in the Merger Agreement (the “Implied Value”) and the value calculated independently by us as presented in this fairness opinion (the “Independent Value”).

 

A. The Implied Value

The Consideration to the Target’s comprises of the following:

 

    The Cash Consideration — according to the Company, the Cash Consideration, in the amount of $19.1 million, shall be paid out of the Company’s own resources held in trust directly to Target’s shareholders. The Cash Consideration was therefore evaluated by us at face value.

Subtotal: the Cash Consideration is valued at $19,100,000

 

    The Transaction Shares — In addition to the cash and Earn-out consideration stated in the share purchase agreement, the Company will issued to the Target shareholders (the “ Sellers ”) an aggregate of 16,000,000 new, fully paid, non-assessable ordinary shares of the Company. Target shareholders will have a 24 month lockup period for 90% of these shares (the remaining shares can be sold at any time).

In order to calculate the value of the shares granted to the Sellers, we used the market price of CAMB share as the merger date, the share price was set at $9.95 . As the shares granted to the Sellers have a

lockup period, a discount should be applied to the base share value. We detriment the restriction base on the Asian protective put method for estimating the suitable discount for lack of marketability (see appendix B), and we conclude that the restricted share discount is 15%.

Subtotal: Based on the above, the total value of the consideration paid in shares is estimated at $ 137,794,269

 

    Put Option Shares Consideration — the Company will issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 1,079,208 new, fully paid, non-assessable ordinary shares of the Company that will hold a put option (“ Put Shares ”). The sellers shall have the right to put to the Company their Pro Rata Portion of the Put Shares for an amount in cash equal to (x) the number of Put Shares subject to such exercise, multiplied by (y) $10.10. An amount of the Cash Consideration equal to $10,900,000 shall be deposited in escrow which deposited escrow amount shall be allocated among the Stockholders and those other Persons upon exercise of the Put Options.

Subtotal: Based on the above, the total value of the consideration paid in put shares is estimated at 10,900,000

 

    The Earn-out Shares

Consists of an aggregate earn-out payment of 8,350,000 shares of CAMB to be paid if the following objectives are met:

 

    3,500,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net income of at least $27 million for the fiscal year 2015

 

    1,850,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net income of at least $40 million for the fiscal year 2016

 

    2,000,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net income of at least $60 million for the fiscal year 2017

 

    1,000,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net income of at least $80 million for the fiscal year 2018

 

   

In the event that the Target fails to satisfy the Net Income target for any fiscal year but the net Income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the net Income target for such fiscal year, then Shares equal to the product obtained by (x) the net income shares that would have been issued to had the net income target been achieved multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by (A) the net income for such fiscal year divided by (B) the net income target for such fiscal year. For instance and solely by way of illustration, if the net income for the 2015 fiscal year equals $24,300,000, the 2015 Net Income Shares issuable to the Stockholders shall equal 3,150,000 Holdco Shares. In addition, in the event that the Target fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target but satisfies the 2016 Net Income Target, then CAMB shall issue to the Stockholders, in addition to the 2016 Net Income Shares required to be issued by the Target as a result of the Target achieving the 2016 Net Income Target, the 2015 Net Income Shares. In addition, (i) if the Target fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target but Net Income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2015 Net Income Target (i.e., 92%) and Net Income for 2016 is a higher percentage of the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e., 97%), then CAMB shall issue to the Stockholders,

  in addition to the pro rata 2016 Net Income Shares (i.e., 97%) required, such number of CAMB Shares for 2015 in accordance with the above based on the difference (i.e. 5%) between the percentage of Net Income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 97%) and the Net Income for 2015 as compared to the 2015 Net Income Target (i.e. 92%), or (ii) if Target fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target and Net Income for such fiscal year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the 2015 Net Income Target but Net Income for 2016 is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 95%), then CAMB shall issue to the Stockholders, in addition to the pro rata of 2016 Net Income Shares (i.e. 95%) required by the above, such number of CAMB Shares for 2015 in accordance based on the same percentage of Net Income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 95%). For purposes of clarity, the catch-up allowance described in this clause shall not apply to any other time periods or targets other than those specifically referenced in this clause.

In our valuation and according to the net profit in H1/2015, the existing backlog for H2/2015, Company’s assumptions and the estimated net profit in H2/2015 as of the measurement date, we have determined that the probability to meet the bonus for the performance of 2015 is 100%. Contingent consideration does not generally lend itself to valuation using the market or cost approach. Therefore, either the income or the option pricing approaches is most frequently used. Numerical methods provide additional support for the real options approach to valuing contingent considerations. While there will undoubtedly be situations in which the closed form solutions will be useful for valuing contingent consideration, there will be many cases calling for numerical methods. The most popular numerical methods are lattices and the Monte Carlo simulation. For full discussion in the Monte Carlo simulation and other parameters used in valuing the Earn-out Shares see appendix A

Subtotal: the Earn-out Shares are valued at $40.1 million

Conclusion: The total value of Target as implied from the Merger is $208

This figure is going to be compared against our independent valuation of Target to determine financial fairness.

 

B. The Independent Value of Target

Following is a summary of the analyses performed and main factors considered in calculating the Independent Value. Prometheus reviewed these analyses with the Company’s management. Although the summary does not purport to describe all of the analyses performed or factors considered by Prometheus in this regard, it does set forth those considered by Prometheus to be material in arriving at its opinion. The analyses included the following complimentary approaches:

 

  1. Discounted cash flow analysis

 

  2. Reasonability Analysis: Selected publicly traded companies multiples analysis

 

  3. Reasonability Analysis: Selected precedent transactions analysis.

1. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

A discounted cash flow analysis is a valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of a company or asset by calculating the “present value” of estimated future cash flows of the company or asset. “Future cash flows” refers to projected unlevered free cash flows of the business. “Present value” refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, capital structure, income taxes, expected returns and other appropriate factors.

We calculated the discounted cash flow value for Target as the sum of the net present value of (i) the projected unlevered, post-after tax future free cash flows beginning with the second half of fiscal year 2015 through and including fiscal year 2017, and (ii) the assumed value of Target at the end of the period (referred to as the “terminal value”). We used a 20% discount rate. This rate was based on the AICPA Practice Aid on Valuation Of Privately Held Company referencing rates of return data and studies performed by James Plummer (QED Report on Venture Capital Financial Analysis, 1987) and Daniel Scherlis and William Sahlman (A Method for Valuing High-Risk, Long Term, Investments: The Venture Capital Method,” Harvard Business School Teaching Note 9-288-006, Boston: Harvard Business School Publishing, 1989). Rates from various studies are displayed in the table below:

 

Stage of Development

   Rates of Return

Startup

   50% - 100%

First Stage/Early Development

   40% - 60%

Second Stage/Expansion

   30% - 50%

Bridge/IPO

   20% - 35%

The Target is a fast growing company with high profit margins and evidently in the Bridge/IPO stage. Based on the facts and studies described above, the Target’s advanced stage and on our experience in valuation theory and valuation practice, we chose a 20% discount rate.

Main Cash Flow Assumptions

Revenues:

Due to the relatively high visibility of the backlog, we adopted Target’s forecast for the second half of 2015. For 2016 and 2017, we estimated revenue growth at 20.8%, in accordance to total market growth estimations described in earlier segments of this report. We note that Target’s management expects much higher results implying a 33.4% CAGR over the same period. However, we believe that there is a risk that Target’s current backlog is not representative of a steady state and we therefore opted to use market growth estimates.

Gross Margin

Gross margins in the first half of 2015 stood at 52% and are expected to stand at 47.3% for the entire year of 2015 in line with the Target’s projections. We assumed a margin erosion mainly based on existing backlog data from the Target and increased competition that may immerge, thus factoring is a probability that future sales will be less profitable than 2015.

Total OPEX

We adopted the Target’s OPEX forecast in dollar value with only minor changes .

EBITDA Margin

The EBITDA margin resulting from the forecast is expected to erode from 41.7% in 2015 to 36.3% by 2017 mainly due to the reduction in gross margins.

CAPEX

Prometheus assumed an average annual CAPEX of 0.5% from sales during the forecast years. CAPEX expense, based on the Target’s historical performance that show modest CAPEX.

Working Capital

Prometheus assumed that Target’s working capital ratio will remain stable at a negative 15% of revenues.

Tax

We were informed by Target’s management that the applicable tax rate for Target is 16%.

Valuation Date

The discounted cash flows valuation is as of September 1, 2015. However, for convenience purposes, the cash flow period begins on June 30, 2015. We were assured by the Target’s management that they are not aware of any material changes to the worse in Target’s business.

Note: the forecast above was prepared by Prometheus and it is significantly more conservative than the Target’s estimates according to which the earn-out objectives were set. Despite this fact, the value derived by this forecast is still fair from a the financial point of view of CAMB

2. Reasonability Analysis: Selected publicly traded companies multiples analysis

In order to estimate the reasonability of the Independent Value, Prometheus reviewed and compared certain financial information and multiples relating to Target to corresponding financial information, ratios and public market trading multiples of publicly traded cyber information technology security and lawful interception (“Cyber”) companies that Prometheus deemed relevant. Although none of the selected companies is identical or directly comparable to Target, Prometheus, using its professional judgment and experience, determined that such companies were the most appropriate for purposes of this analysis based on certain criteria that Prometheus considered to be appropriate in light of the applicable facts and circumstances. Such criteria included, but was not limited to, the fact that the comparable companies operate in the same or similar industries having financial profiles similar to the business model and financial profile of Target. Among the information Prometheus considered was Target’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (referred to as “EBITDA”) and Target’s Revenues, in each case for the 12 months ended on the last available financial statement (referred to as “LTM”). For each selected publicly traded company, Prometheus considered its enterprise value defined as the company’s market capitalization calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of June 30, 2015 plus preferred equity and total debt, less cash and cash equivalents) as a multiple of LTM EBITDA. These trading multiples are commonly used by professionals in connection with financial valuations. The operating results and the corresponding trading multiples derived for each of the selected publicly traded companies were based on each company’s most recent available publicly disclosed financial information and closing share prices as of June 30, 2015. Prometheus adjusted the historical results of the selected publicly traded companies, where it deemed appropriate, to eliminate the impact of publicly disclosed unusual or non-recurring items included in their financial information. Although Prometheus compared the trading multiples of the selected publicly traded companies to those implied for Target, none of the selected publicly traded companies is identical or directly comparable to Target. Accordingly, any analysis of the selected publicly traded companies necessarily would involve complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating characteristics and other factors that would necessarily affect the analysis of trading multiples of the selected publicly traded companies. Prometheus did not have access to internal forecasts for any of the selected publicly traded companies other than Target.

Following are the selected publicly traded companies used in the analysis:

Nice systems, Cobham plc and Verint systems are the companies most similar to Target in terms of the line of business, as they are all engaged at lawful interception and their business is based on selling interception systems to public authorities worldwide, very similar to the Target. However, these companies vary from Target in size and in additional lines of operations. We also included additional comparable companies which operate in the Cyber (security) market, and are of Israeli origins and traded in the US. These companies develop cyber technologies and compete for similar manpower and share some of the same risks.

Prometheus calculated the multiples implied by the Consideration and compared these multiples to the range of the trading multiples for the selected publicly traded companies.

Conclusion:

 

A. Based on Enterprise Value/ LTM EBITDA Multiples of Selected Publicly Traded Companies Target’s value is at least $272.5 million. This value is greater than the Implied Value ($208 million). The Consideration is therefore fair from a the financial point of view of CAMB

 

B. Both the Independent Value and the values calculated above based on multiples exceed 80% of the amount held by the Company in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders.

3. Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis.

Prometheus performed an analysis of 2 selected precedent transactions it was able to identify as close in nature. The purpose of this analysis was to provide a comparison of the transaction multiples implied by the consideration paid by acquirers in recent transactions involving the acquisition of companies operating in the Cyber industry with the multiples implied by the Consideration. Prometheus’s analysis was based solely on publicly available information regarding such transactions. The selected transactions were not intended to be representative of the entire range of possible transactions in the Cyber industry because complete information relating to such entire range of transactions is not always publicly available. While none of the companies that participated in the selected transactions is identical or directly comparable to Target, Prometheus, using its professional judgment and experience, deemed such transactions relevant after analyzing them in connection with certain criteria that Prometheus considered to be appropriate in light of the applicable facts and circumstances. In selecting the transactions to analyze, Prometheus evaluated criteria in their entirety without application of definitive qualifications or limitations to any individual criterion. As a result, a transaction involving the acquisition of a significantly larger or smaller company relative to Target operating in a line of business and under business and financial conditions similar, in whole or in part, to Target’s may have been included, while a transaction involving the acquisition of a similarly sized company as the Target with less similar lines of business and operating under different business and financial conditions may have been excluded. Prometheus calculated the multiples implied by the consideration paid in the selected transactions in terms of the enterprise value of the target as a multiple of the revenues and net earnings. These multiples are commonly used by professionals in connection with financial analysis. Prometheus adjusted the historical results of the acquired companies, where it deemed appropriate, to eliminate the impact of publicly disclosed unusual or non-recurring items included in their financial information.

Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis Summary:

 

  a. U-TX Technologies LTD/Verint Systems (April 2014)

The publicly available information regarding the deal was the total consideration paid by the acquirer and the expected target’s contribution to Verint revenue in 2014 and in 2015 as described in a conference call by Verint CEO, Dan Bodner 5 . The multiples indicated by the deal was as follows:

 

Implied TV/2015 Expected Sales

     4.1

Applying the same multiple on the Target’s 2015 expected revenues yields the following result:

 

Implied TV/2015 Expected Sales

     4.1

Target’s 2015 expected revenues:

     89.8   

Target’s implied Value

     372.0   

 

  b. NICE Systems Ltd.’s Cyber and Intelligence division acquired by Elbit Systems Ltd (May 2015)

The available information regarding the deal was the cash consideration paid by the acquirer in a total of $117.9 million and an additional $40 million earn-out. The press release indicated the Intelligence division’s full year contribution (as shown in the previous annual guidance of to the seller) to the Non-GAAP revenue of $80 million and $0.09 in Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share. The press

release also indicated the previous second quarter guidance included the Intelligence division’s contribution of $20 million in Non-GAAP revenue and $0.03 in Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share.

Applying a conservative approach Prometheus used the low end of the consideration (excluding earn-out) and annualized the 3 months contribution to the EPS. The multiple indicated by the deal was as follows:

 

    Last quarter per share net earnings: $0.03

 

    Annualized per share net earnings: $0.12 (we used this number which is higher than the 2015 $0.09 guidance available that was at the time)

 

    Number of shares: 60.9 million

 

    Annualized net earnings: $7.3 million Consideration (exc’l Earn-out): $117.9

 

    P/E: 16.1x

The transaction took place in early 2015 and the 16.1x P/E multiple is based on the 2015 earnings expectations we derived.

Applying the Same multiple on the Target’s 2015 expected EBITDA yields the following result:

 

     Implied TV/2015 Expected net
earnings

Deal implied multiples

   16.1x

Target’s 2015 expected EBITDA

   32.1 million

implied value

   $516.8 million

The implied value to Target according to the NICE-Elbit transaction is $516.8 million. However, both NICE and Elbit are publicly traded company’s therefore a discount for lack of marketability should be used when applying the multiple to the Target’s profit. The applied discount is usually around 20% in such cases, implying a total discounted value of approximately $414 million to Target based on this transaction.

Prometheus notes that the total consideration the buyers in both tested transactions were willing to pay is probably somewhat higher that what a financial investor would be willing to pay due to possible synergies. However, the implied multiples are high enough to show that the Consideration paid for Target is reasonable.

Conclusion:

 

A. Based on the selected transaction multiples above, Target’s value is greater than the Implied Value ($208 million). The Consideration is therefore fair from a the financial point of view of CAMB

 

B. Both the Independent Value and the values calculated above based on multiples exceed 80% of the amount held by the Company in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders.

Appendix A — Contingent Consideration Valuation

The Earn-Out Terms

Consists of an aggregate earn-out payment of 8,350,000 shares of CAMB to be paid if the following objectives are met:

 

  3,500,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net Income of at least $27 million for the fiscal year 2015

 

  1,850,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net Income of at least $40 million for the fiscal year 2016

 

  2,000,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net Income of at least $60 million for the fiscal year 2017

 

  1,000,000 shares shall be issued if Target achieves net Income of at least $80 million for the fiscal year 2018

In the event that the Target fails to satisfy the Net Income target for any fiscal year but the net Income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the net Income target for such fiscal year, then Shares equal to the product obtained by (x) the net income shares that would have been issued to had the net income target been achieved multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by (A) the net income for such fiscal year divided by (B) the net income target for such fiscal year. For instance and solely by way of illustration, if the net income for the 2015 fiscal year equals $24,300,000, the 2015 Net Income Shares issuable to the Stockholders shall equal 3,150,000 Holdco Shares. In addition, in the event that the Target fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target but satisfies the 2016 Net Income Target, then CAMB shall issue to the Stockholders, in addition to the 2016 Net Income Shares required to be issued by the Target as a result of the Target achieving the 2016 Net Income Target, the 2015 Net Income Shares. In addition, (i) if the Target fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target but Net Income for such fiscal year is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2015 Net Income Target (i.e., 92%) and Net Income for 2016 is a higher percentage of the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e., 97%), then CAMB shall issue to the Stockholders, in addition to the pro rata 2016 Net Income Shares (i.e., 97%) required, such number of CAMB Shares for 2015 in accordance with the above based on the difference (i.e. 5%) between the percentage of Net Income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 97%) and the Net Income for 2015 as compared to the 2015 Net Income Target (i.e. 92%), or (ii) if Target fails to satisfy the 2015 Net Income Target and Net Income for such fiscal year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the 2015 Net Income Target but Net Income for 2016 is ninety percent (90%) or more of the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 95%), then CAMB shall issue to the Stockholders, in addition to the pro rata of 2016 Net Income Shares (i.e. 95%) required by the above, such number of CAMB Shares for 2015 in accordance based on the same percentage of Net Income for 2016 as compared to the 2016 Net Income Target (i.e. 95%). For purposes of clarity, the catch-up allowance described in this clause shall not apply to any other time periods or targets other than those specifically referenced in this clause.

Basic Valuation

 

    Contingent consideration does not generally lend itself to valuation using the market or cost approach. Therefore, either the income or the option pricing approaches is most frequently used.

 

    Numerical methods provide additional support for the real options approach to valuing contingent considerations. While there will undoubtedly be situations in which the closed form solutions will be useful tools for valuing contingent consideration, there will be many cases that call for numerical methods. That can be applied to both of the most popular numerical methods, lattices and Monte Carlo simulation.

The Monte Carlo — Simulation

For the Monte Carlo simulation implementation, we explicitly acknowledge the possibility of time varying parameters. The evolution of the asset price is:

 

LOGO

Where z is a unit normal random variable. Monte Carlo simulation is likely to be especially useful because many contingent consideration payments are path-dependent. For example, the contingent consideration could be 1) defined by average sales, 2) depend on periodic growth rates, and 3) could include multiple payments that depend on previous payments.

The Monte Carlo — Simulation — Parameters

In order to calculate the total earn out we conduct two Monte Carlo simulation, one is for the equity (share price) and the seconded is for the net income, the following table displays the parameters we used in order to build this simulation:

 

Parameter

   Value — Share Price     Value — Net Income     Comments

Risk-free interest

     1.33     1.33   1

Growth Margin

     NR        1.9   4

Annual Standard Deviation

     47.53     45.44   5

 

  1. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term to Contractual Life plus CDS according to Israel’s risk.

 

  2. $9.95 is based on the market price of CAMB share as of the merger date, the value in the net income simulation is based on the first year forecast to the ending period of 2015.

 

  3. The Earn-out Periods is based on the share purchase agreement

 

  4. We determined the Growth Margin which is calculated by the difference between the CAGR of the company and it’s CAPM, under the assumption that there is no change between the sales beta to the equity beta.

Appendix B — Discount for lack of marketability (DLOM)

Calculation of DLOM

 

  1. According to the AICPA practice aid valuation of privately held companies and restricted stocks of public companies, it is recommended to apply a discount to the other securities to capture the difference in level of influence between different classes of securities.

 

  2. Several quantitative methods have been developed to estimate the discount for lack of marketability for privately held securities and restricted stocks of public companies.

 

  3. In this report we used the Asian protective put method for estimating the suitable discount for lack of marketability.

 

  4. The protective put method for estimating a discount for lack of marketability was first described by David Chaffe in 1993, and it serves as the foundation for other option-based methods. In this method, the discount is estimated as the value of an at-the-money put with a life equal to the period of the restriction, divided by the marketable stock value.

 

  5. The Asian protective put is a variant of the protective put method that is preferred by some practitioners because it estimates the discount based on the average price over the restriction period rather than based on the final price.

 

  6. The table below includes the key parameters we used for the Asian protective put model:

Subject to the provisions of the Plan and notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, in its sole discretion, from time to time delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), President (the “President”) or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “CFO”) the authority, subject to such terms as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine, to determine and designate from time to time the employees or other persons to whom awards under the Plan may be granted and to perform other specified functions under the Plan; provided, however, that the CEO, President or CFO, as the case may be, may not grant any award to, or perform any function related to an award to, himself or herself, as the case may be, or any individual (i) who is an officer of the Company or (ii) then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (iii) who is or, in the determination of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may become a Covered Employee, and any such grant or function relating to such individuals shall be performed solely by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, to ensure compliance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Code or (iv) where the grant or performance of such function by the CEO, President or CFO will cause the Plan not to comply with any applicable regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system where the Shares are listed for trading.

Any such delegation of authority by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall be by a resolution adopted by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, and shall specify all of the terms and conditions of the delegation. The resolution of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, granting such authority may authorize the CEO, President or CFO to grant awards pursuant to the Plan and may set forth the types of awards that may be granted; provided, however, that the resolution shall (i) specify the maximum number of Shares that may be awarded to any individual Plan participant and to all participants during a specified period of time and (ii) specify the exercise price (or the method for determining the exercise price) of an award, the vesting schedule, and any other terms, conditions, or restrictions that may be imposed by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. The resolution of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall also require the CEO, President or CFO, as the case may be, to provide the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, on at least a monthly basis, a report that identifies the awards granted pursuant to the delegated authority and, with respect to each award: the name of the participant, the date of grant of the award, the number of Shares subject to the award, the exercise period and exercise price, if any and vesting provisions of such award. All awards granted pursuant to delegated authority are subject to the resolutions of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, granting such authority.

The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may also delegate to other officers of the Company, pursuant to a written delegation, the authority to perform specified functions under the Plan that are not inconsistent with Rule 16b-3 or other rules or regulations applicable to the Plan. Any actions taken by any officers of the Company pursuant to such written delegation of authority shall be deemed to have been taken by the Board or Committee, as the case may be.

Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, all decisions made by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Board or the Committee’s sole and absolute discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries and the Plan Participants.

Section 3. Shares Subject to Plan.

The total number of Shares reserved and available for distribution under the Plan shall be [ ] shares. Such shares may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.

Table of Contents

If any Shares that have been optioned cease to be subject to a Share Option award for any reason (other than by issuance of such shares upon exercise of a Share Option), or if any Shares that are subject to any Restricted Share Award, Deferred Share Award or Other Share-Based award are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates without the issuance of such shares such shares shall again be available for distribution under the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) any Shares subject to an award that remain unissued upon the cancellation, surrender, exchange or termination of such award without having been exercised or settled, (ii) any Shares subject to an award that are retained by the Company as payment of the exercise price or tax withholding obligations with respect to an award and (iii) any Shares equal to the number of previously owned Shares surrendered to the Company as payment of the exercise price of a Share Option or to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to an award, shall again be available for distribution under the Plan.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, share dividend, share split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the Shares or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares, such substitution or adjustments shall be made in the (A) aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (B) number, kind and exercise price of Shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan, and (C) number, kind, purchase price and/or appreciation base of Shares subject to other outstanding awards granted under the Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any award shall always be a whole number. Such adjusted exercise price shall also be used to determine the amount which is payable to the optionee upon the exercise by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, of the alternative settlement right which is set forth in Section 5(b)(xi) below.

Subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options, Deferred Shares, Restricted Shares or Other Share-Based Awards may be granted or measured to any Participant under the Plan during any calendar year or part thereof shall not exceed the total shares reserved and available under the Plan.

Section 4. Eligibility.

Officers and other employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (but excluding any person whose eligibility would adversely affect the compliance of the Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3) who are at the time of the grant of an award under the Plan employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company are eligible to be granted Options and awards under the Plan. In addition, Non-Qualified Share Options and other awards may be granted under the Plan to any person, including, but not limited to, directors, independent agents, consultants and attorneys who the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, believes has contributed or will contribute to the success of the Company. Eligibility under the Plan shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be.

The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, in its sole discretion, include additional conditions and restrictions in the agreement entered into in connection with such awards under the Plan. The grant of an Option or other award under the Plan, and any determination made in connection therewith, shall be made on a case by case basis and can differ among optionees and grantees. The grant of an Option or other award under the Plan is a privilege and not a right and the determination of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, can be applied on a non-uniform (discretionary) basis.

Section 5. Share Options.

 

  (a)

Grant and Exercise. Share Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Share Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Share Options. Any Share Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may from time to time approve. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have the authority to grant to any optionee Incentive

 

C-5


Table of Contents
  Share Options, Non-Qualified Share Options, or both types of Share Options, and they may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Share Option is not designated as an Incentive Share Option or does not qualify as an Incentive Share Option, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Share Option. The grant of an Option shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, by resolution, designates an individual as a grantee thereof, and determines the number of Shares subject to, and the terms and conditions of, said Option.

Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Share Options or any agreement providing for Incentive Share Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the optionee(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Share Option under said Section 422.

 

  (b) Terms and Conditions. Share Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

  (i) Option Price . The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Share Option shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of grant but as to Incentive Share Options and Non-Qualified Share Options shall be not less than 100% (110% in the case of an Incentive Share Option granted to an optionee (“10% Shareholder”) who, at the time of grant, owns Shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or its Parent, if any, or its Subsidiaries) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of grant.

 

  (ii) Option Term . The term of each Share Option shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, but no Incentive Share Option shall be exercisable more than ten years (five years, in the case of an Incentive Share Option granted to a 10% Shareholder) after the date on which the Option is granted.

 

  (iii) Exercisability . Share Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be. If the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, provides, in its discretion, that any Share Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine.

 

  (iv)

Method of Exercise . Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Share Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price for the Share Options exercised, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Share Option agreement referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below or otherwise provided by the Board, or Committee, as the case may be, either at or after the date of grant of the Share Option, in whole Shares which are already owned by the holder of the Option or partly in cash and partly in such Stock. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to issue Shares with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof. If permitted, payments of the exercise price and any tax required to be withheld by the Company in the form of Shares (which shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of exercise) shall be made by delivery of share transfer forms which are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. In addition to the foregoing, payment of the exercise price may be made by delivery to the Company by the optionee of an executed exercise form, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer

  to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the shares covered by the option and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in the Share Option agreement referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below or otherwise provided by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, either at or after the date of grant of the Option, no Option which is granted to a person who is at the time of grant an employee of the Company or of a Subsidiary or Parent of the Company may be exercised at any time unless the holder thereof is then an employee of the Company or of a Parent or a Subsidiary. The holder of an Option shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for those Shares, has been registered in the Register of Members and, if requested by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, has given the representation described in Section 13(a) below.

 

  (v) Transferability; Exercisability . No Share Option shall be transferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except as may be otherwise provided with respect to a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to the specific provisions of the Share Option agreement pursuant to which it was issued as referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below (which agreement may be amended, from time to time). Except as otherwise provided in the Share Option agreement relating to a Non-Qualified Share Option, all Share Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee or his or her guardian or legal representative.

 

  (vi) Termination by Reason of Death . Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee’s employment by the Company or any Parent or Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Share Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or on such accelerated basis as the Board or Committee, as the case may be, may determine at or after the time of grant, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Share Option, whichever period is the shorter.

 

  (vii) Termination by Reason of Disability . Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee’s employment by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Share Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine at or after the time of grant, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Share Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such one year period (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall specify at or after the time of grant), any unexercised Share Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Share Option, whichever period is the shorter.

 

  (viii)

Termination by Reason of Retirement . Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee’s employment by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of Normal Retirement, any Share Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine at or after the time of grant, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination of employment or the expiration of the stated term of such Share Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such one year period (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall specify at or after the date of grant), any unexercised

 

C-7


Table of Contents
  Share Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Share Option, whichever period is the shorter. If an optionee’s employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of Early Retirement, the Share Option shall thereupon terminate; provided, however, that if the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, so approves at the time of Early Retirement, any Share Option held by the optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee as provided above in connection with termination of employment by reason of Normal Retirement.

 

  (ix) Other Termination . Subject to the provisions of Section 13(g) below and unless otherwise determined by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, at or after the time of grant, if an optionee’s employment by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, the Share Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the optionee is involuntarily terminated by the Company or any Parent or a Subsidiary without Cause (as hereinafter defined), such Share Option may be exercised for a period of three months (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Share Option, whichever period is shorter. For purposes of the Plan and unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the grant of the award, “Cause” shall mean (1) the conviction of the optionee of a felony under Federal law or the law of the state in which such action occurred, (2) dishonesty by the optionee in the course of fulfilling his or her employment duties, or (3) the failure on the part of the optionee to perform his or her employment duties in any material respect. In addition, with respect to an option granted to an employee of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, for purposes of the Plan, “Cause” shall instead include any definition of “Cause” contained in any employment agreement between the optionee and the Company, Parent or Subsidiary, as the case may be.

 

  (x) Additional Incentive Share Option Limitation . In the case of an Incentive Share Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares (determined at the time of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Share Options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of optionee’s employer corporation and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

 

  (xi) Alternative Settlement of Option . If provided for, upon the receipt of written notice of exercise or otherwise provided for by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, either at or after the time of grant of the Share Option, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may elect to settle all or part of any Share Option by paying to the optionee an amount, in cash or Shares (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise), equal to the product of the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share, on the date of exercise over the Option exercise price, multiplied by the number of Shares with respect to which the optionee proposes to exercise the Option. Any such settlements which relate to Options which are held by optionees who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply with any “window period” provisions of Rule 16b-3, to the extent applicable, and with such other conditions as the Board or Committee, as the case may be, may impose.

 

  (xii) Share Option Agreement . Each grant of a Share Option shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the Participant.

Section 6. Restricted Shares.

 

  (a)

Grant and Exercise. Shares of Restricted Shares may be issued either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Shares will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient,

 

C-8


Table of Contents
  the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture (the “Restriction Period”), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the awards. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may condition the grant of Restricted Shares upon the attainment of such factors as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine.

 

  (b) Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Share award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

  (i) Restricted Shares, when issued, shall be issued by registration in the Register of Members and may be represented by a share certificate or certificates registered in the name of the holder to whom such Restricted Shares shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, any certificates representing the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions), and the enjoyment of all rights related thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Restricted Shares agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below. Any such certificates shall be deposited by the holder with the Company, together with share transfer forms, endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the applicable Restricted Shares agreement. Such a transfer to the Company would take effect as a repurchase as a matter of Cayman Islands law.

 

  (ii) Restricted Shares shall constitute issued and outstanding Shares for all corporate purposes, and the issuance thereof shall be made for at least the minimum consideration (if any) necessary to permit the shares of Restricted Shares to be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. Unless the Board or Committee determines otherwise, the holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Shares, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a shareholder with respect to such Restricted Shares, with the exceptions that (A) the holder will not be entitled to delivery of the share certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Restricted Shares until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (B) the Company will retain custody of the share certificate or certificates, if any, representing the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period; (C) other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (D) the holder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Shares or any Retained Distributions during the Restriction Period; and (E) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in the Plan or the Restricted Shares agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below, or otherwise established by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, with respect to any Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Shares and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

 

  (iii)

Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Shares and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (A) all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Shares agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below, and (B) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Shares shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Shares related thereto shall have become vested. Any such Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions that do

 

C-9


Table of Contents
  not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited. All references to “forfeiture” under this Plan shall take effect as surrenders for no consideration as a matter of Cayman Islands law.

 

  (iv) Each Restricted Share award shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the Participant.

Section 7. Deferred Shares.

 

  (a) Grant and Exercise. Deferred Shares may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which Deferred Shares shall be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Shares to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period (the “Deferral Period”) during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the Deferred Shares will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the awards. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may condition the grant of the Deferred Shares upon the attainment of such factors or criteria as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine.

 

  (b) Terms and Conditions. Each Deferred Share Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

  (i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and Deferred Shares agreement referred to in Section 7(b)(viii) below, Deferred Share Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Deferral Period. At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vii) below, where applicable), the Shares covered by the Deferred Share Award shall be issued to the Participant on the Register of Members.

 

  (ii) As determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of award, amounts equal to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vi) below, where applicable) with respect to the number of shares covered by a Deferred Share Award may be paid to the Participant currently or deferred and deemed to be reinvested in additional Deferred Shares.

 

  (iii) Subject to the provisions of the Deferred Shares agreement referred to in Section 7(b)(viii) below and this Section 7 and Section 13(g) below, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary for any reason during the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vii) below, where applicable) for a given award, the Deferred Shares in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of grant.

 

  (iv) The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Deferred Share Award.

 

  (v) In the event of an Unforeseen Emergency of a Participant whose employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary is involuntarily terminated (other than for Cause), the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, at the request of the Participant, waive in whole or in part any or all of the remaining deferral limitations imposed hereunder or pursuant to the Deferred Shares agreement referred to in Section 7(b)(viii) below with respect to any or all of the Participant’s Deferred Shares.

 

  (vi) In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death, or in cases of an Unforeseen Emergency, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may waive in whole or in part any or all of the limitations imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to any or all of a Deferred Share Award.

 

C-10


Table of Contents
  (vii) In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability, death, or a 409A Change, or in cases of an Unforeseen Emergency, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may waive the limitations imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to a 409A Deferred Share Award.

 

  (viii) A Participant may elect to defer the receipt of an award (or an installment of an award) for an additional specified period or until a specified period or until a specified event (the “Additional Deferral Period”); provided however, that (i) such subsequent election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which it is made, (ii) if such subsequent election relates to a payment not made on account of the Participant’s death, disability or Unforeseen Emergency, the payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made, and (iii) any subsequent election related to a payment described in Code Section 409A(2)(A)(iv) may not be made less than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment.

 

  (ix) Each Deferred Share Award shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the Participant.

Section 8. Other Share-Based Awards.

 

  (a) Grant and Exercise. Other Share-Based Awards, which may include performance shares and shares valued by reference to the performance of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with Share Options, Restricted Shares or Deferred Shares. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, such awards shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded pursuant to such awards, and all other terms and conditions of the awards. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may also provide for the grant of Shares under such awards upon the completion of a specified performance period.

 

  (b) Terms and Conditions. Each Other Share-Based Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

  (i) Shares subject to an Other Share-Based Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction or period of deferral lapses.

 

  (ii) The recipient of an Other Share-Based Award shall be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares covered by the award, as determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of the award. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares.

 

  (iii) Any Other Share-Based Award and any Shares covered by any Other Share-Based Award shall vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided in the award agreement referred to in Section 8(b)(v) below, as determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be.

 

  (iv) In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death, or in cases of an Unforeseen Emergency, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may waive in whole or in part any or all of the limitations imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to any or all of an Other Share-Based Award.

 

  (v) Each Other Share-Based Award shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and by the Participant.

Section 9. Performance-Based Awards

 

  (a)

In General. All Options and certain Restricted Share Awards, Deferred Share Awards, and Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan, and the compensation attributable to such awards, are

 

C-11


Table of Contents
  intended to (i) qualify as Performance-Based Awards (as defined in the next sentence) or (ii) be otherwise exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code. Certain Awards granted under the Plan may be granted in a manner such that Awards qualify as “performance-based compensation” (as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and thus be exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code (“Performance-Based Awards”). Awards may only qualify as Performance-Based Awards if they are granted by the Committee at a time when the Committee is comprised solely of two or more “outside directors” (as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) (“Qualifying Committee”).

 

  (b) Options. Share Options granted under the Plan with an exercise price at or above the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant should qualify as Performance-Based Awards.

 

  (c) Other Performance-Based Awards. Restricted Share Awards, Deferred Share Awards, and Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan should qualify as Performance-Based Awards if, as determined by a Qualifying Committee, in its discretion, either the granting of such award is subject to the achievement of a performance target or targets based on one or more of the performance measures specified in Section 9(d) below. With respect to such awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards:

  (a) A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred on the tenth day after:

 

  (i) any individual, corporation or other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner (as defined in the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s authorized share capital entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company; or

 

  (ii) the commencement of, or the first public announcement of the intention of any individual, firm, corporation or other entity or of any group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) to commence, a tender or exchange offer subject to Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act for any class of the Company’s share capital; or

 

  (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve (A) a definitive agreement for the merger or other business combination of the Company with or into another corporation pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company do not own, immediately after the transaction, more than 50% of the voting power of the corporation that survives, or (B) a definitive agreement for the sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; provided, however, that a “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have taken place if beneficial ownership is acquired (A) directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise or conversion of another security unless the security so converted or exercised was itself acquired directly from the Company, or (B) by, or a tender or exchange offer is commenced or announced by, the Company, any profit-sharing, employee ownership or other employee benefit plan of the Company; or any trustee of or fiduciary with respect to any such plan when acting in such capacity.

 

  (b) In the event of a “Change of Control” as defined in Section 10(a) above, awards granted under the Plan will be subject to the following provisions, unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the grant of the award, or unless the provisions of this Section 10 are suspended or terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board prior to the occurrence of such a “Change of Control”:

 

  (i) all outstanding Share Options shall become exercisable in full, whether or not otherwise exercisable at such time, and any such Share Option shall remain exercisable in full thereafter until it expires pursuant to its terms; and

 

  (ii) all restrictions and deferral limitations contained in Restricted Share Awards, Deferred Share Awards and Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan shall lapse and the Shares subject to such awards shall be distributed to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, all restrictions and deferral limitations with respect to a 409A Deferred Share Award or with respect to a Participant’s Deferred Restricted Shares Account shall not lapse under this Section 10(b) unless the “Change of Control” qualifies as a 409A Change.

Section 11. Amendments and Termination.

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend any of the provisions of the Plan, and may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective unless and until it has been duly approved by the holders of the outstanding Shares if the failure to obtain such approval would adversely affect the compliance of the Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, rule or regulation. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may amend the terms of any Share Option or other award theretofore granted under the Plan; provided, however, that subject to Section 3 above, no such amendment may be made by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, which in any material respect

Section 12. Unfunded Status of Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.

  (a) The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may require each person acquiring Shares pursuant to an Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing, among other things, that the optionee or Participant is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof.

Certificates for Shares, if any, delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may deem to be advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or association upon which the Shares are then listed or traded, any applicable Federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may cause a legend or legends to be put on any any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

  (b) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Share Options and the awarding of shares and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

  (c) Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.

 

  (d) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Option or other award under the Plan, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Shares, including Shares that are part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional upon such payment or arrangements, and the Company or the Participant’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant from the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.

 

  (e) The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to choice of law provisions).

C-14


Table of Contents
  (g) A leave of absence, unless otherwise determined by the Board or Committee prior to the commencement thereof, shall not be considered a termination of employment. Any Share Option granted or awards made under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment, so long as the holder continues to be an employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.

 

  (h) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Share Option agreement, Restricted Shares agreement, Deferred Shares agreement or any Other Share-Based Award agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be subject to the debts, contracts or liabilities of the person entitled to such benefit.

 

  (i) The obligations of the Company with respect to all Share Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (A) all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including, without limitation, the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act, and (B) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or association on which the Shares may be listed or traded.

 

  (j) If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan conflicts with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 as in effect from time to time, or with the requirements of any other applicable law, rule or regulation, and with respect to Incentive Share Options, Section 422 of the Code, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of said Rule 16b-3, and with respect to Incentive Share Options, Section 422 of the Code. With respect to Incentive Share Options, if the Plan does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein.

 

  (k) The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may terminate any Share Option or other award made under the Plan if a written agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 30 days after such agreement has been delivered to the optionee or Participant for his or her execution.

 

  (l) The grant of awards pursuant to the Plan shall not in any way effect the right or power of the Company to make reclassifications, reorganizations or other changes of or to its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its business or assets.

 

  (m) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is a Specified Employee and payment of his/her Deferred Restricted Shares Account or Deferred Shares is being made on account of his/her separation from service, such payment shall be made no earlier than the sixth month anniversary of such Specified Employee’s separation from service.

Section 14. Effective Date of Plan.

Annex E

INDEMNITY ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated [            ], 2015 by and among Cambridge Holdco Corp., a Cayman Islands company (“Holdco”), Benjamin Gordon (the “Representative”), as the representative of Surviving Pubco (as defined below) immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each of the undersigned former holders (the “Stockholders”) of the outstanding capital stock of Ability Company & Software Industries Ltd., an Israeli company (“Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).

Holdco, Cambridge Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Cambridge”), the Company and the Stockholders are the parties to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of September 6, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) Cambridge has merged with and into Holdco, with Holdco being the surviving entity of such merger (the “Merger,” and the surviving entity of the Merger is referred to herein as the “Surviving Pubco”), and (ii) the Stockholders have exchanged 100% of the shares of the Company for ordinary shares of Surviving Pubco (the “Surviving Pubco Stock”), including the right to receive certain contingent shares as provided for in Section 1.13 of the Merger Agreement, and cash as provided therein (the “Share Exchange”). The parties desire to establish an escrow fund as the sole remedy for the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement. The Stockholders, together with their permitted transferees, are referred to herein as the “Owners.” Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

The parties agree as follows:

1. (a) Concurrently with the execution hereof, each of the Stockholders (or Holdco, on their behalf) is delivering to the Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, stock certificates in the amounts set forth in Schedule A hereto issued in the name of such Stockholder representing a portion of the shares of Surviving Pubco Stock issued to such Stockholder in the Share Exchange. The shares of Surviving Pubco Stock represented by the stock certificates so delivered by the Stockholders to the Escrow Agent are herein referred to in the aggregate as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Agent shall maintain a separate account for each Stockholder’s, and, subsequent to any transfer permitted pursuant to Paragraph 1(d) hereof, each Owner’s, portion of the Escrow Fund.

(b) The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. It shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Surviving Pubco. The Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall terminate upon its distribution of the entire Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Except as herein provided, the Owners shall retain all of their rights as shareholders of Surviving Pubco with respect to shares of Surviving Pubco Stock constituting the Escrow Fund during the period the Escrow Fund is held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.10 of the Merger Agreement (the “Escrow Period”), including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of Surviving Pubco Stock included in the Escrow Fund.

(d) During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to the shares of Surviving Pubco Stock included in the Escrow Fund shall be paid to the Owners, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

(e) During the Escrow Period and except as otherwise set forth in the Two Year Lock-Up Agreement applicable to each Stockholder, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any or all of the shares of

Table of Contents

Surviving Pubco Stock in the Escrow Fund except (i) to a “Permitted Transferee” (as hereinafter defined), (ii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of any Owner, or (iii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall include: (1) members of a Stockholder’s “Immediate Family” (as hereinafter defined); (2) an entity in which (A) a Stockholder and/or members of a Stockholder’s Immediate Family beneficially own 100% of such entity’s voting and non-voting equity securities, or (B) a Stockholder and/or a member of such Stockholder’s Immediate Family is a general partner and in which such Stockholder and/or members of such Stockholder’s Immediate Family beneficially own 100% of all capital accounts of such entity; (3) a revocable trust established by a Stockholder during his lifetime for the benefit of such Stockholder or for the exclusive benefit of all or any of such Stockholder’s Immediate Family; and (4) any Affiliate. As used in this Agreement, the term “Immediate Family” means, with respect to any Stockholder, a spouse, parent, lineal descendants, the spouse of any lineal descendant, and brothers and sisters (or a trust, all of whose current beneficiaries are members of an Immediate Family of the Stockholder). In connection with and as a condition to each permitted transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such agreement, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Surviving Pubco’s transfer agent the original stock certificate out of which the assigned shares are to be transferred, and shall request that Surviving Pubco issue new certificates representing (x) the number of shares, if any, that continue to be owned by the transferring Stockholder, and (y) the number of shares owned by the Permitted Transferee as the result of such transfer. Surviving Pubco, the transferring Stockholder and the Permitted Transferee shall cooperate in all respects with the Escrow Agent in documenting each such transfer and in effectuating the result intended to be accomplished thereby. During the Escrow Period, no Owner shall pledge or grant a security interest in such Owner’s shares of Surviving Pubco Stock included in the Escrow Fund or grant a security interest in such Owner’s rights under this Agreement.

(f) The parties hereto have entered into that certain Escrow Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Put/Call Escrow Agreement”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. For purposes of clarification, to the extent that there is an amount constituting the Remaining Escrow Fund (as defined in the Put/Call Escrow Agreement) remaining in escrow under the Put/Call Escrow Agreement, then (i) such Remaining Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund hereunder and (ii) the Escrow Period shall be extended for the escrow of such Remaining Escrow Fund in accordance with the Put/Call Escrow Agreement.

2. (a) Surviving Pubco, acting through the Representative, may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Merger Agreement (“Indemnification Claim”) against the Escrow Fund by giving notice (a “Notice”) to the Stockholder Nominee (defined below), with a copy to the Escrow Agent, specifying (i) the covenant, representation, warranty, agreement, undertaking or obligation contained in the Merger Agreement which it asserts has been breached or otherwise entitles Surviving Pubco to indemnification, (ii) in reasonable detail, the nature and dollar amount of any Indemnification Claim, and (iii) whether the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim against Surviving Pubco or the Company. The Representative also shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Stockholder Nominee), concurrently with its delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Notice, a certification as to the date on which the Notice was delivered to the Stockholders in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement.

(b) If the Stockholder Nominee shall give a notice to the Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent and Surviving Pubco) (a “Counter Notice”), within 30 days following the date of receipt (as specified in the Representative’s certification) by the Stockholder Nominee of a copy of the Notice, disputing whether the Indemnification Claim is indemnifiable under the Merger Agreement, the Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall attempt to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in paragraph 2(c) below. If no Counter Notice with respect to an Indemnification Claim is received by the Escrow Agent from the Stockholder Nominee within such 30-day period, the Indemnification Claim shall be deemed to be an Established Claim (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of this Agreement.

 

E-2


Table of Contents

(c) If the Stockholder Nominee delivers a Counter Notice to the Representative and the Escrow Agent, the Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall, during the period of 60 days following the delivery of such Counter Notice or such greater period of time as the parties may agree to in writing (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith with respect to which the Counter Notice was given. If the Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall reach a settlement with respect to any such dispute, they shall jointly deliver written notice of such settlement to the Escrow Agent specifying the terms thereof.

(d) If the Representative and Stockholder Nominee cannot resolve a dispute prior to expiration of the 60-day period referred to in paragraph 2(c) above (or such longer period as the parties may have agreed to in writing), then such dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for arbitration in accordance with Section 8.

(e) As used in this Agreement, “Established Claim” means any (i) Indemnification Claim deemed established pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph 2(b) above, (ii) Indemnification Claim resolved in favor of Surviving Pubco by settlement pursuant to paragraph 2(c) above, resulting in an award to Surviving Pubco, (iii) Indemnification Claim established by the decision of an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph 2(d) above and in accordance with Section 8, resulting in an award to Surviving Pubco, (iv) Third Party Claim that has been sustained by a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (v) Third Party Claim that the Representative and Stockholder Nominee have jointly notified the Escrow Agent has been settled in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement; provided that, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, notwithstanding anything herein, no Indemnification Claim by Surviving Pubco shall become an Established Claim unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnification Losses exceeds (i) the Deductible, in which event all Indemnifiable Losses so due in excess of the Deductible shall be paid out of the Escrow Shares. The aggregate liability for Losses shall not in any event exceed the Escrow Shares, and Surviving Pubco shall have no claim against the Stockholders other than for any of such Escrow Shares (and any dividends declared and actually paid with respect to the Escrow Shares).

(f) (i) Promptly after an Indemnification Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall jointly deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent (a “Joint Notice”) directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Surviving Pubco, and the Escrow Agent promptly shall deliver Escrow Shares to Surviving Pubco, the dollar amount of which, valued at the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below), shall equal the Indemnifiable Loss resulting from the Established Claim (or, if at such time there remains in the Escrow Fund less than the full amount so payable, the full amount remaining in the Escrow Fund).

(ii) Payment of an Established Claim shall be made from Escrow Shares pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. For purposes of each payment, such shares shall be valued at the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below). However, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be required to calculate Fair Market Value or make a determination of the number of shares to be delivered to Surviving Pubco in satisfaction of any Established Claim; rather, such calculation shall be included in and made part of the Joint Notice. The Escrow Agent shall transfer to Surviving Pubco out of the Escrow Fund that number of shares of Surviving Pubco Stock necessary to satisfy each Established Claim, as set out in the Joint Notice. Any dispute between the Representative and Stockholder Nominee concerning the calculation of Fair Market Value or the number of shares necessary to satisfy any Established Claim, or any other dispute regarding a Joint Notice, shall be resolved between the Representative and Stockholder Nominee in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph 2(d) above, and shall not involve the Escrow Agent. Each transfer of shares in satisfaction of an Established Claim shall be made by the Escrow Agent delivering to Surviving Pubco one or more stock certificates held in each Owner’s account evidencing not less than such Owner’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares specified in the Joint Notice, together with assignments separate from certificate executed in blank by such Owner and completed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with instructions included in the Joint Notice. Upon receipt of the stock certificates and assignments, Surviving Pubco shall deliver to the Escrow Agent new certificates representing the number of shares owned by each Owner after such payment. The parties hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) agree that the foregoing right to make payments of Established Claims in shares of

 

E-3


Table of Contents

Surviving Pubco Stock may be made notwithstanding any other agreements restricting or limiting the ability of any Owner to sell any shares of Surviving Pubco stock or otherwise. The Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall be required to exercise utmost good faith in all matters relating to the preparation and delivery of each Joint Notice. As used herein, “Fair Market Value” means the average reported closing price for the Surviving Pubco Stock for the twenty trading days ending on the last trading day prior to (x) the day the Established Claim is paid with respect to Indemnification Claims paid on or before the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, (y) the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date with respect to shares constituting the Pending Claims Reserve (as hereinafter defined) on the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, and (z) with respect to shares placed in the Pending Claims Reserve for an Additional Indemnification Claim asserted after the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, the day such Additional Indemnification Claim is asserted. If Surviving Pubco Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the “Fair Market Value” means the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices of Surviving Pubco Stock on such date on the principal over the counter market on which Surviving Pubco Stock is traded, and if Surviving Pubco Stock is not so traded, a market price per share determined in good faith by the Surviving Pubco Board of Directors.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at such time as an Indemnification Claim has become an Established Claim, the Stockholders shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to substitute for the Escrow Shares that otherwise would be paid in satisfaction of such claim (the “Claim Shares”) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Claim Shares (“Substituted Cash”). In such event (i) the Joint Notice shall include a statement describing the substitution of Substituted Cash for the Claim Shares, and (ii) substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such Joint Notice, the Stockholders shall cause currently available funds to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in an amount equal to the Substituted Cash. Upon receipt of such Joint Notice and Substituted Cash, the Escrow Agent shall (y) in payment of the Established Claim described in the Joint Notice, deliver the Substituted Cash to Surviving Pubco in lieu of the Claim Shares, and (z) cause the Claim Shares to be returned to the Owners.

3. (a) On the first Business Day after the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, upon receipt of a Joint Notice, the Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Owner certificates representing shares of Surviving Pubco Stock then in such Owner’s account in the Escrow Fund equal to fifty percent (50%) of the original number of shares placed in such Owner’s account less that number of shares in such Owner’s account equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares applied in satisfaction of Indemnification Claims made prior to that date and (ii) the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Owner’s account, as provided in the following sentence, and shall continue to hold the remaining shares in such Owner’s account as Additional Indemnity Shares. If, at such time, there are any Indemnification Claims with respect to which Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section 2 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) by a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of Surviving Pubco, would result in a payment to Surviving Pubco, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Pending Claims Reserve that number of shares of Surviving Pubco Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the dollar amount equal to the Indemnifiable Losses for which indemnification is sought in such Indemnification Claim, allocated pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. The Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall certify to the Escrow Agent the Fair Market Value to be used in calculating the Pending Claims Reserve and the number of shares of Surviving Pubco Stock to be retained therefor. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Surviving Pubco the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve in respect thereof determined in accordance with paragraph 2(f) above and to deliver to each Owner the remaining shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Pending Claim, all as specified in a Joint Notice. If any Pending Claim is resolved against Surviving Pubco, the Representative and Stockholder Nominee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner his pro rata portion of the number of shares allocated to such Pending Claim in the Pending Claims Reserve.

Table of Contents

(b) On the first Business Day after the Additional Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, upon receipt of a Joint Notice, the Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Owner certificates representing the remaining shares of Surviving Pubco Stock then in such Owner’s account in the Escrow Fund other than Additional Indemnity Shares in the Pending Claims Reserve.

The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

5.1

For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the

 

F-4


Table of Contents
  Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty days.

 

5.2 In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrears a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of the Members or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose.

When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

 

6 Certificates for Shares

 

6.1 A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more Directors or other person authorised by the Directors. The Directors may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and subject to the Articles no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled.

6.4 Every share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed in the course of delivery.

 

7 Transfer of Shares

  (c) the instrument of transfer is lodged at the registered office or such other place as the Register of Members is kept in accordance with the Statute accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) (if any) or such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do); and

 

  (d) the instrument of transfer is duly and properly signed.

 

7.5 If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of any Share, it shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of the refusal.

 

8 Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

 

8.1 Subject to the provisions of the Statute the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of such Shares shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of the Shares.

 

8.2 Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member.

 

8.3 The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital.

9.2 The Directors may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration).

 

10 Variation of Rights of Shares

 

10.1

If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the

 

F-6


Table of Contents
  holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis , except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

 

10.2 For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

 

10.3 The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

 

11 Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

 

12 Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

 

13 Lien on Shares

 

13.1 The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

 

13.2 The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

 

13.3 To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

 

13.4

The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like

 

F-7


Table of Contents
  lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

 

14 Call on Shares

 

14.1 Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

 

14.2 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

 

14.3 The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

14.4 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

 

14.5 An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

 

14.6 The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

 

14.7 The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

 

14.8 No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

 

15 Forfeiture of Shares

 

15.1 If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

15.2 If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

 

15.3

A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share

 

F-8


Table of Contents
  is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

 

15.4 A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

 

15.5 A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

 

15.6 The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

16 Transmission of Shares

 

16.1 If a Member dies the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder) or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

 

16.2 Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

 

16.3 A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

19.1 All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

 

19.2 The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute) be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it.

19.7 A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

  (a) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

 

  (b) in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than ninety five per cent. in par value of the Shares giving that right.

 

20.2 The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that general meeting.

 

21 Proceedings at General Meetings

 

21.1 No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Two Members being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall be a quorum unless the Company has only one Member entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by its duly authorised representative or proxy.

 

21.2 A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.

 

21.3 A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by or on behalf of all of the Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations or other non-natural persons, signed by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

 

21.4

If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting, if convened upon a Members’

 

F-11

  requisition, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and/or place or to such other day, time and/or place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall be a quorum.

 

21.5 The Directors may, at any time prior to the time appointed for the meeting to commence, appoint any person to act as chairman of a general meeting of the Company or, if the Directors do not make any such appointment, the chairman, if any, of the board of Directors shall preside as chairman at such general meeting. If there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

21.6 If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

21.7 The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

 

21.8 When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

 

21.9 A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on poll.

 

21.10 A poll shall be taken as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

 

21.11 In the case of an equality of votes the chairman shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

22 Votes of Members

 

22.1 Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares, every Member who (being an individual) is present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person is present by its duly authorised representative or by proxy, shall have one vote for every Share of which he is the holder.

 

22.2 In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.

 

22.3 A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

 

22.4 No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.

 

22.5 No objection shall be raised as to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time in accordance with this Article shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

22.6 Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands and shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

 

22.7 A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed.

 

23 Proxies

 

23.1 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised representative. A proxy need not be a Member.

 

23.2 The Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited physically at the Registered Office not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting to commence at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.

 

23.3 The chairman may in any event at his discretion declare that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted, or which has not been declared to have been duly deposited by the chairman, shall be invalid.

 

23.4 The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or such other form as the Directors may approve) and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

 

23.5 Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

 

24 Corporate Members

Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.

27 Powers of Directors

 

27.1 Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.

 

27.2 All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or transferable instruments and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Directors shall determine by resolution.

28.1 The Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any person to be a Director or may by Ordinary Resolution remove any Director.

 

28.2 The Directors may appoint any person to be a Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of Directors.

 

29 Vacation of Office of Director

The office of a Director shall be vacated if:

 

  (a) the Director gives notice in writing to the Company that he resigns the office of Director; or

 

  (b) the Director absents himself (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by proxy or an alternate Director appointed by him) from three consecutive meetings of the board of Directors without special leave of absence from the Directors, and the Directors pass a resolution that he has by reason of such absence vacated office; or

 

  (c) the Director dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or

 

F-14


Table of Contents
  (d) the Director is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; or

 

  (e) all of the other Directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he should be removed as a Director, either by a resolution passed by all of the other Directors at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held in accordance with the Articles or by a resolution in writing signed by all of the other Directors.

 

30 Proceedings of Directors

 

30.1 The quorum for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed shall be two if there are two or more Directors, and shall be one if there is only one Director. A person who holds office as an alternate Director shall, if his appointor is not present, be counted in the quorum. A Director who also acts as an alternate Director shall, if his appointor is not present, count twice towards the quorum.

 

30.2 Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.

30.3 A person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or any committee of Directors by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is located at the start of the meeting.

 

30.4 A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointor and if such alternate Director is also a Director, being entitled to sign such resolution both on behalf of his appointer and in his capacity as a Director) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

 

30.5 A Director or alternate Director may, or other officer of the Company on the direction of a Director or alternate Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least two days’ notice in writing to every Director and alternate Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternates) either at, before or after the meeting is held. To any such notice of a meeting of the Directors all the provisions of the Articles relating to the giving of notices by the Company to the Members shall apply mutatis mutandis .

 

30.6 The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

 

30.7 The Directors may elect a chairman of their board and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

30.8

All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors (including any person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or alternate Director, and/or that they or any of them were

 

F-15


Table of Contents
  disqualified, and/or had vacated their office and/or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and/or not disqualified to be a Director or alternate Director and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

 

30.9 A Director but not an alternate Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

 

31 Presumption of Assent

A Director or alternate Director who is present at a meeting of the board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairman or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director or alternate Director who voted in favour of such action.

 

32 Directors’ Interests

 

32.1 A Director or alternate Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Directors may determine.

 

32.2 A Director or alternate Director may act by himself or by, through or on behalf of his firm in a professional capacity for the Company and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director or alternate Director.

 

32.3 A Director or alternate Director may be or become a director or other officer of or otherwise interested in any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as a shareholder, a contracting party or otherwise, and no such Director or alternate Director shall be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as a director or officer of, or from his interest in, such other company.

 

32.4 No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director or alternate Director or prevented by such office from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director or alternate Director shall be in any way interested be or be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director or alternate Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by or arising in connection with any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director or alternate Director holding office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director (or his alternate Director in his absence) shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he is interested provided that the nature of the interest of any Director or alternate Director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.

 

32.5 A general notice that a Director or alternate Director is a shareholder, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which he has an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

 

33 Minutes

The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books kept for the purpose of recording all appointments of officers made by the Directors, all proceedings at meetings of the Company or the holders of any class of Shares and of the Directors, and of committees of the Directors, including the names of the Directors or alternate Directors present at each meeting.

They may also delegate to any managing director or any Director holding any other executive office such of their powers, authorities and discretions as they consider desirable to be exercised by him provided that an alternate Director may not act as managing director and the appointment of a managing director shall be revoked forthwith if he ceases to be a Director. Any such delegation may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and any such delegation may be revoked or altered by the Directors. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of a committee of Directors shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of any such committee, local board or agency shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

 

34.3 The Directors may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any person to be the agent of the Company on such conditions as the Directors may determine, provided that the delegation is not to the exclusion of their own powers and may be revoked by the Directors at any time.

34.5 The Directors may appoint such officers of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any secretary) as they consider necessary on such terms, at such remuneration and to perform such duties, and subject to such provisions as to disqualification and removal as the Directors may think fit. Unless otherwise specified in the terms of his appointment an officer of the Company may be removed by resolution of the Directors or Members.

39.4 The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

 

39.5 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

 

39.6 The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

 

39.7 Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

 

39.8 No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

 

39.9 Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

 

40 Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

  (b) if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

 

45 Indemnity and Insurance

 

45.1 Every Director and officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company (each an “ Indemnified Person ”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

 

F-21


Table of Contents
45.2 The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

 

45.3 The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

II. RESPONSIBILITIES

In addition to such other duties as the Board may from time to time assign, the Committee shall:

In determining the long-term incentive component of the CEO’s compensation, the Committee shall consider, among other factors, the Company’s performance and relative stockholder return, the value of similar incentive awards to CEO’s at comparable companies, and the awards given to the Company’s CEO in past years. The CEO shall not be present during voting and deliberations relating to CEO compensation.

 

    Determine the compensation of all other executive officers, including, but not limited to, salary, bonus or bonus target levels, long and short-term incentive and equity compensation, retirement plans, and deferred compensation plans, as the Committee deems appropriate.

    Receive and evaluate performance target goals for the senior officers and employees (other than executive officers) and review periodic reports from the CEO as to the performance and compensation of such senior officers and employees.

 

    Administer or delegate the power to administer the Company’s incentive and equity-based compensation plans, including the grant of stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards under such plans.

III. COMPOSITION

The Committee shall be comprised of two or more members (including a chairperson), all of whom shall be “independent directors,” as such term is defined in the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, except that the Committee may have as one of its members a “non-independent director” under exceptional and limited circumstances pursuant to the exemption under Rule 5605(d)(2)(B) of the Nasdaq Stock Market. At least two of the Committee members shall be “non-employee directors” as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and “outside directors” as defined by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The members of the Committee and the chairperson shall be selected not less frequently than annually by the Board and serve at the pleasure of the Board. A Committee member (including the chairperson) may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Board.

The Committee shall have authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to one or more subcommittees as the Committee may from time to time deem appropriate. If at any time the Committee includes a member who is not a “non employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), then a subcommittee comprised entirely of individuals who are “non-employee directors” may be formed by the Committee for the purpose of ratifying any grants of awards under any incentive or equity-based compensation plan for the purposes of complying with the exemption requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; provided that any such grants shall not be contingent on such ratification.
