Business Wire
DT Asia Investments Limited (NASDAQ: CADT; CADTW; CADTU;
CADTR) (“DT Asia” or the “Company”) today announced that, at
its special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of shareholders
held on March 31, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved, among
other things, a proposal to extend the date before which the
Company must complete a business combination from April 6, 2016 to
July 6, 2016 (the “Extension”). In connection with the special
meeting, 5,255,657 of the Company’s public shares (approximately
77% of the outstanding public shares) were validly presented to the
Company for redemption.
The Extension is subject to the receipt by the Company from
DeTiger Holdings Limited (“Sponsor”) of approximately $96,000 (the
“Contribution”), which amount is equal to $0.06 for each of the
1,604,406 public shares of the Company that were not redeemed in
connection with the Extension and which will be deposited into the
Company’s trust account for the benefit of holders of the remaining
public shares. The Sponsor has advised the Company that it will
promptly fund the Contribution. If the Sponsor does not make the
Contribution, the Company will abandon the Extension and redeem all
public shares for their pro rata portions of the funds currently in
the trust account and, promptly following such redemption, dissolve
and liquidate. After receipt of the Contribution and redemption of
the public shares in connection with the Extension, the pro rata
portion of the funds available in the trust account for the public
shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Extension will
increase from approximately $10.20 per share to approximately
$10.26 per share.
Additional information regarding the results of the special
meeting, the Contribution and the Extension will be included in a
Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission no later than four business days
following the date of the special meeting.
