Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We
have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and
projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause
our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some
cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may,"
"should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "continue," or the negative of such terms or other similar
expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy
include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November
18, 2015 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial
Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Public Offering and the
Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the
Public Offering, the forward purchase contracts, our capital stock, debt or a
combination of cash, stock and debt.
40
The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a business combination:
? may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the Public
Offering;
? may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is
issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;
? could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common
stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our
net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation
or removal of our present officers and directors;
? may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by
diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain
control of us; and
? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, common stock
and/or warrants. Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:
? default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an
initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
? acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all
principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that
require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a
waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
? our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the
debt security is payable on demand;
? our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security
contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the
debt security is outstanding;
? our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
? using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on
our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common
stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and
acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;
? limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our
business and in the industry in which we operate;
? increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and
competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
? limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our
strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors
who have less debt.
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at December 31, 2019, we
had $78,697 in cash outside of the Trust Account. We expect to continue to incur
significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you
that our plans to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity through March 15, 2018, consisted of formation and
preparation for the Public Offering. Since the Public Offering, our activity has
been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, including
International General Insurance Holdings Ltd., and we have not and will not be
generating any operating revenues until the closing of our initial business
combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest on
marketable securities held in the trust account. We are incurring expenses as a
result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and
auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence and transaction expenses.
41
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had net income of $1,937,205, which
consists of operating costs of $1,361,167 and a provision for income taxes of
$651,500, offset by interest income of $3,854,255, and an unrealized gain on
marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $95,617.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had net income of $1,581,542, which
consists of operating costs of $668,087 and a provision for income taxes of
$420,000, offset by interest income of $2,687,003, and an unrealized loss on
marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $17,374.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Public Offering, our only sources of liquidity
were an initial purchase of Founder Shares for $25,000 by the Sponsor, and a
total of $319,540 of loans and advances by the Sponsor.
On March 20, 2018, we consummated our Public Offering in which we sold
15,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of
$150,000,000 before underwriting fees and expenses. The Sponsor purchased
4,500,000 Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Placement Warrant in a
Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the Public Offering. The
Sponsor provided a loan in the amount of $1,500,000 that occurred simultaneously
with the Public Offering.
On March 28, 2018, in connection with the underwriters' exercise of their
over-allotment option in full, we consummated the sale of an additional
2,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, and the Company received a loan
from the Sponsor in the amount of $225,000.
In connection with the Public Offering, we incurred offering costs of
$10,937,331 (including an underwriting fee of $3,000,000 and deferred
underwriting commissions of $7,350,000). Other incurred offering costs consisted
principally of preparation fees related to the Public Offering. A total of
$174,225,000 of the net proceeds from the Public Offering, the Private
Placement, and the Sponsor Loan were deposited in the Trust Account established
for the benefit of our public stockholders.
As of December 31, 2019, we have available to us $78,697 of cash on our balance
sheet. We will use these funds primarily to evaluate target businesses, perform
business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective target businesses,
travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective
target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents
and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure,
negotiate and complete a business combination. As of December 31, 2019, we
incurred $521,564 of expenses related to the proposed Business Combination. As
of December 31, 2019, we also had $5,138,541 in interest income available from
our investments in our Trust Account to pay for our tax obligations. During the
year ended December 31, 2019, the Company withdrew $902,848 to pay its tax
obligations.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an
affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are
not obligated to (other than the Sponsor's commitment described below), loan us
funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we
would repay such loaned amounts (including accrued interest, if any). In the
event that our 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.
Up to $2,000,000 of such loans (which may include the Sponsor Loan) may be
convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the
lender. The Sponsor Loan warrants would be identical to the Placement Warrants
and would be identical to the public warrants, except that they would not be
redeemable by us and would be exercisable on a cashless basis. In addition, our
Sponsor has committed to provide us with up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 in
loans to fund our working capital requirements. In August 2019, we issued an
unsecured promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 to our Sponsor. As of
December 31, 2019, we borrowed $500,000 under such note for working capital
purposes. The note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier
of consummation of the Company's initial business combination and its winding
up. The note may be converted into Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per
Warrant at the Sponsor's discretion. However, the lender is no longer entitled
to conversion rights in the event the loan is repaid in cash prior to
conversion.
We expect that we have sufficient resources subsequent to our Public Offering to
fund our operations until March 20, 2020, our mandatory liquidation date. We do
not believe we will need to raise additional funds (other than the Sponsor Loan
commitment discussed above) prior to our initial business combination in order
to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our
estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth
due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the
actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to
operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to
obtain additional financing to complete our business combination if our forward
purchase agreements are not consummated or because we become obligated to redeem
a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our business
combination, in which case we may issue additional equity securities or incur
debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously
with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete
our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds
available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust
Account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on
hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to
meet our obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that
create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships,
often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been
established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of
other entities, or entered into any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
Commencing March 2018, the Company agreed to pay its Chief Investment Officer
$12,500 per month until the earlier of liquidation or the consummation of an
initial Business Combination.
In March 2018, the Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement
pursuant to which it pays its Sponsor, an affiliate of our Executive Chairman
and our Chief Executive Officer, a total of $10,000 per month for office space,
utilities and secretarial support. Upon completion of our initial Business
Combination or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
In March 2018, our Sponsor extended a loan to the Company in the amount of
$1,725,000, inclusive of $225,000 as a result of the exercise of the
underwriter's over-allotment option, which is non-interest bearing and which
will become due upon the completion of a Business Combination.
In August 2019, we issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of
$1,000,000 to the Sponsor and we borrowed $500,000 under such note for working
capital purposes. The note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the
earlier of consummation of the Company's initial business combination and its
winding up. The note shall be payable without interest upon the consummation of
a Business Combination or, at the holder's discretion, the note may be converted
into Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Warrant. Each Warrant would be
identical to the Placement Warrants discussed above.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not have any capital lease obligations or
operating lease obligations.
The Underwriter was paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds of the
Public Offering, excluding any amounts raised pursuant to the overallotment
option, or $3,000,000. In addition, the Underwriter is entitled to aggregate
deferred underwriting commissions of $7,350,000 consisting of (i) 4% of the
gross proceeds of the Public Offering, excluding any amounts raised pursuant to
the overallotment option, and (ii) 6% of the gross proceeds of the Units sold in
the Public Offering pursuant to the overallotment option. The deferred
underwriting commissions will become payable to the Underwriter from the amounts
held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an
initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting
agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination
Agreement on October 10, 2019, Tiberius and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor")
entered into an amendment (the "Underwriting Agreement Amendment") to the
Underwriting Agreement, dated as March 15, 2018 (the "Underwriting Agreement"),
by and between Tiberius, Cantor and the other underwriters named therein.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement Amendment, Cantor agreed to accept
payment of the deferred underwriting commission payable to Cantor under Section
1.3 of the Underwriting Agreement in Pubco common shares (the "Deferred
Commission Shares"), valued at $10.20 per Pubco common share, if and solely to
the extent that Tiberius would otherwise not meet the Minimum Cash Condition
(treating such issuance of Deferred Commission Shares to Cantor as an equity
financing for purposes thereof) after giving effect to any Backstop Subscription
Agreements. The payment in Deferred Commission Shares under the Underwriting
Agreement Amendment is conditioned on the concurrent Closing and other customary
closing conditions consistent with the conditions under the Subscription
Agreements. Cantor was also given registration rights with respect to any
Deferred Commission Shares pursuant to which Pubco, as the successor to Tiberius
will be required to file a resale registration statement for the Deferred
Commission Shares issued to Cantor within 30 days after the Closing and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared
effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The proceeds from the
issuance of the Deferred Commission Shares instead of the cash payment required
under the Underwriting Agreement will be used to fund a portion of the cash
consideration for the Business Combination, the transaction expenses and other
liabilities of Tiberius and otherwise provide working capital and funds for
corporate purposes to Pubco after the Closing.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on March 15, 2018, the
holders of the Founder Shares, holders of the private placement warrants and
holders of any warrants issued to the sponsor on conversion of the Sponsor's
loan at its discretion (and any shares of Tiberius Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of such warrants, respectively) are entitled to registration
rights. The Sponsor, holders of the private placement warrants and holders of
any warrants issued to the Sponsor on conversion of the Sponsor's loan at its
discretion (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such
warrants, respectively) are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding
short form registration demands, that Tiberius register such securities for sale
under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have ''piggy-back''
registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements
filed by Tiberius. Tiberius will bear the expenses incurred in connection with
the filing of any such registration statements. The registration rights
agreement does not provide for any cash penalties or additional penalties
associated with any delays in registering the securities.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results
could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the
following as its critical accounting policies:
Common stock subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory
redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that
features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or
subject to redemption upon the occurrence of 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 redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's
control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly,
common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as
temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the Company's
balance sheet.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Consistent with ASC 480, common stock subject to possible
redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earnings
consistent with the two-class method, have been excluded from the calculation of
loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Such
shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings.
Diluted loss per share includes the incremental number of shares of common stock
to be issued to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury method. For
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any
dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be
exercised or converted into common stock, since the exercise of the warrants is
contingent on the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per
common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods
presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.
