Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with the Extension, stockholders elected to redeem 5,942,681 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). Following such redemptions, approximately $151.7 million will remain in the trust account and 19,932,319 shares of Common Stock will remain issued and outstanding.

The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.    

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

Because the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment were approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting, the Company’s sponsor, Modern Media Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), has agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan $0.0333 for each share of Common Stock issued in the IPO (each, a “Public Share”) that is not redeemed in connection with the Extension for each monthly period (commencing on February 17, 2019 and to the 17th day of each subsequent calendar month), or portion thereof (on a prorated basis), that is needed by the Company to consummate a business combination from February 17, 2019 until the Extended Date (the “Contribution”).                

As previously disclosed, the amount of the Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination in cash; provided, however, that the Sponsor may, at its option, convert each $1.00 outstanding of the Contribution into one warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor in connection with the IPO. The Sponsor will have sole discretion to determine whether to continue extending for additional monthly periods until the Extended Date, and if the Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional monthly periods, its obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate and the Company will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with its charter.
