Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

5. Commitments and Contingencies.

Registration Rights

The holders of Insider Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a

45-day

option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option on July 15, 2020.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $2.3 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee is payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Right of First Refusal

Subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Chardan, for a period of 15 months after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, a right of first refusal to act as either (at the Company’s sole discretion) (a) a lead underwriter or (b) minimally as a

co-manager,

with at least 30% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal 20% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity and debt offerings. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(E)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
