SCHEDULE TO
Chart Acquisition Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), Joseph R. Wright (“Mr. Wright”), Cowen Overseas Investment LP (“Cowen Overseas” and, together with the Sponsor and Mr. Wright, the “Purchasers”), The Chart Group L.P., the managing member of the Sponsor, and Ramius Advisors, LLC, the general partner and investment advisor of Cowen Overseas (together with the Purchasers and Chart Group L.P., the “Filing Persons”), hereby amend and supplement their Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2014 (together with all amendment and supplements thereto, “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO, as further amended by this Amendment No. 3, relates to the offer to purchase for cash up to 7,500,000 of the warrants of Chart Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), each warrant exercisable to purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Warrants”), at a price of $0.30 per Warrant, net to the seller in cash, without interest (the “Purchase Price”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2,250,000. The offer is being made upon the terms and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 14, 2014 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the offer (the “Offer”).
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO should be read in conjunction with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, as the same may be further amended or supplemented hereafter and filed with the SEC. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO, as it amends and supplements the Schedule TO, is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 14d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, this Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements only the items and exhibits to the Schedule TO that are being amended and supplemented and supersedes any conflicting disclosure set forth in the Offer to Purchase, and unaffected items and exhibits are not included herein.
Items 1 through 11.
Items 1 through 11 are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
| 1. | On September 5, 2014, the Company received a letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Staff”) stating that the Company had failed to evidence compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 300 public holders for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), by September 2, 2014. Accordingly, the Staff has determined to initiate procedures to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, unless the Company appeals such determination on or before September 12, 2014. The Company intends to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination in front of a hearings panel and the Company’s securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq while such appeal is pending. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its appeal of the delisting determination. |
| 2. | On September 5, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the stockholders approved the following items: (i) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) extending the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from September 13, 2014 to March 13, 2015, (ii) an amendment to the Charter permitting stockholders to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) and authorizing the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), the trustee of the Trust Account, to disburse such redemption payments (the “Redemption Rights Amendment”) and (iii) an amendment and restatement of the Investment Management Trust Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Trust Agreement”) between the Company and Continental permitting distributions from the Trust Account to those persons holding shares of common stock comprising part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering who wish to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Meeting, and extending the date on which to liquidate the Trust Account in accordance with the Trust Agreement to March 13, 2015. The number of shares of common stock presented for redemption was 964,691. |
