SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 29, 2007 PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS $80,000,000 IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP. 10,000,000 units Ideation Acquisition Corp. is a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses. While our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular industry, we expect to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, which encompasses companies that create, distribute or service others that create or distribute content for various platforms, including online, mobile, television, cable, satellite, radio, print, film, video games and software. We do not have any specific business combination under consideration and we have not (nor has anyone on our behalf) contacted any prospective target business or had any discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to such a transaction. This is an initial public offering of our units. Each unit that we are offering has a price of $8.00 and consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $6.00. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of our completion of a business combination and , 2008 [one year from the date of this prospectus] , and will expire on , 2011 [four years from the date of this prospectus] , or earlier upon redemption. We have granted Lazard Capital Markets LLC, the representative of the underwriters for this offering, a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 units (over and above the 10,000,000 units referred to above) solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The over-allotment will be used only to cover the net syndicate short position resulting from the initial distribution. We have also agreed to sell to Lazard Capital Markets LLC, as representative of the underwriters, for $100, as additional compensation, an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 units at $10.00 per unit. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered by this prospectus, except that each of the warrants underlying such units entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $7.00. The purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Certain of our initial stockholders have agreed to purchase warrants exercisable for 2,400,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. This purchase will take place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. All of the proceeds we receive from this purchase will be placed in the trust account described below. We refer to these warrants as the insider warrants throughout this prospectus. The insider warrants will be identical to warrants underlying the units being offered by this prospectus, except that if we call the warrants for redemption, the insider warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are still held by the purchasers or their affiliates. Such initial stockholders have agreed that the insider warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until 90 days after we have completed a business combination, provided however that transfers can be made to certain permitted transferees who agree in writing to be bound by such transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the insider warrants will be placed in escrow and will not be released until 90 days after the completion of our initial business combination. There is presently no public market for our units, common stock or warrants. We intend to apply to have our units listed on the American Stock Exchange. Assuming that the units are listed on the American Stock Exchange, the units will be listed under the symbol “IDI.U” on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. Assuming that the units are listed on the American Stock Exchange, once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the common stock and warrants will be listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols “IDI” and “IDI.WS,” respectively. We cannot assure you that our securities will be listed or will continue to be listed on the American Stock Exchange. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense . Underwriting Discount and Commissions(1) Public Offering Price Proceeds, Before Expenses, to Us Per unit Total $ $ 8.00 80,000,000 $ $ 0.56 5,600,000 $ $ 7.44 74,400,000 (1) Of the underwriting discounts and commissions, $2,400,000 ($0.24 per unit) is being deferred by the underwriters and will be placed in the trust account described below. Such funds will be released to the underwriters only upon our completion of a business combination, as described in this prospectus. Of the net proceeds after expenses we receive from this offering and the private placement, approximately $7.83 per unit, or $78,345,000 ($89,865,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), will be deposited into a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. This amount includes the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,400,000 and the $2,400,000 of net proceeds from the private placement in which certain of our initial stockholders will purchase 2,400,000 insider warrants. We are offering the units for sale on a firm commitment basis. Lazard Capital Markets LLC, acting as representative of the underwriters, expects to deliver our units to investors in the offering on or about , 2007. LAZARD CAPITAL MARKETS EARLYBIRDCAPITAL, INC.

Our Business We are a blank check company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 1, 2007. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses. While our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular industry, we expect to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, which encompasses companies that create, distribute or service others that create or distribute content for various platforms, including online, mobile, television, cable, satellite, radio, print, film, video games and software. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities. We do not have any specific business combination under consideration and we have not (nor has anyone on our behalf) contacted any prospective target business or had any discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to such a transaction. We have not (nor have any of our agents or affiliates) been approached by any candidates (or representative of any candidates) with respect to a possible acquisition transaction with our company. Additionally, we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, taken any measure, directly or indirectly, to identify or locate any suitable acquisition candidate, nor have we engaged or retained any agent or other representative to identify or locate any such acquisition candidate. Our management team, board of directors and special advisors, led by our Chairman of the Board, Dr. Phillip Frost, has extensive experience in identifying emerging technologies and building companies through acquisitions and organic growth. Notably, from 1987 to January 2006, Dr. Frost served as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of IVAX Corporation, which was sold to Teva Pharmaceuticals for $9.2 billion, including assumed debt. IVAX Corporation was a multinational company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of branded and generic pharmaceuticals and veterinary products. During Dr. Frost’s tenure, IVAX Corporation consummated in excess of 50 acquisitions and divestitures. Several of our executives, including Steven D. Rubin and Rao Uppaluri, have worked closely with Dr. Frost at IVAX and other subsequent ventures. 1 Table of Contents We believe, based solely on our management’s collective business experience, that there are numerous attractive acquisition opportunities in the digital media sector. Robert Fried, our President and Chief Executive Officer, certain members of our board of directors and our special advisors have extensive experience in the digital media sector as senior executives, business consultants and/or entrepreneurs, and we intend to leverage their experience by focusing our efforts on operating businesses in that sector. In particular, Mr. Fried has over 23 years of experience founding and operating traditional and new media companies, as well as producing numerous award-winning feature films. His experience in both the creative and business aspects of the entertainment industry provides us with exposure to a unique array of business opportunities. Our management team has an extensive network of relationships, including private equity funds, public and private companies, investment banks and influential artists and content creators from which to source acquisition opportunities. Certain members of our management team and board of directors have extensive merger and acquisition experience outside of the digital media sector that we believe will be helpful in consummating a successful transaction. Because of this diversity of industry experience, we may consummate a business combination with a company in a different sector. Our initial business combination must be with a target business whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of our net assets (all of our assets, including the funds then held in the trust account, less our liabilities) at the time of such acquisition, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several operating businesses. If we determine to simultaneously acquire several businesses and such businesses are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other acquisitions, which may make it more difficult for us, and delay our ability, to complete the business combination. With multiple acquisitions, we could also face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent integration of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business. If we acquire less than 100% of one or more target businesses in our initial business combination, the aggregate fair market value of the portion or portions we acquire must equal at least 80% of our net assets (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,400,000, or $2,760,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) at the time of such initial business combination. In no instance will we acquire less than majority voting control of a target business. However, this restriction will not preclude a reverse merger or similar transaction where we will acquire the target business. The target business that we acquire may have a fair market value substantially in excess of 80% of our net assets. In order to consummate such an acquisition, we may issue a significant amount of our debt or equity securities to the sellers of such business and/or seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities. Since we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not entered into any such fund raising arrangement and have no current intention of doing so. Our principal executive offices are located at 100 North Crescent Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210, and our telephone number is (310) 694-8150. THE OFFERING Securities offered 10,000,000 units, at $8.00 per unit, each unit consisting of: • one share of common stock; and • one warrant. The units will begin trading on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. Each of the common stock and warrants may trade separately on the 90th day after the date of this prospectus unless Lazard Capital Markets LLC determines that an earlier date is acceptable (based upon its assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and small capitalization companies in 2 Table of Contents general, and the trading pattern of, and demand for, our securities in particular). In no event will Lazard Capital Markets LLC allow separate trading of the common stock and warrants until we file an audited balance sheet reflecting our receipt of the gross proceeds of this offering. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including an audited balance sheet, promptly upon the consummation of this offering, which consummation is anticipated to take place three business days from the date the units commence trading. The audited balance sheet will reflect our receipt of the proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option if the over-allotment option is exercised prior to the filing of the Form 8-K. If the over-allotment option is exercised after our initial filing of a Form 8-K, we will file an amendment to the Form 8-K to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise of the over-allotment option. We will also include appropriate information in this Form 8-K, or amendment thereto, or in a subsequent Form 8-K, if Lazard Capital Markets LLC has allowed separate trading of the common stock and warrants prior to the 90th day after the date of this prospectus. Warrants to be sold to initial stockholders through private placement Certain of our initial stockholders have agreed to purchase warrants exercisable for 2,400,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. There are no third party beneficiaries to the agreement. This purchase will take place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. These “insider warrants” will be identical to the warrants underlying the units being offered by this prospectus, except that if we call the warrants for redemption, the insider warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are still held by the purchasers or their affiliates. The insider warrants will be purchased separately and not in combination with the common stock or in the form of units. The insider warrants were priced in relation to prices paid by insider purchasers of other similar blank check companies for comparable warrants of such other blank check companies offered on similar terms. The purchase price for the insider warrants will be held in the trust account pending our completion of one or more business combinations. Such initial stockholders have agreed that the insider warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until 90 days after we have completed a business combination, provided however that transfers can be made to certain permitted transferees who agree in writing to be bound by such transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the insider warrants will be placed in escrow and will not be released until 90 days after the completion of a business combination. Lazard Capital Markets LLC has no intention of waiving these restrictions on transferability. Common stock: Number outstanding before this offering and the sale of the insider warrants 2,500,000 shares 3 Table of Contents Number to be outstanding after this offering and the sale of the insider warrants Warrants: Number outstanding before this offering Number to be sold to certain of our initial stockholders Number to be outstanding after this offering and the sale of the insider warrants Exercisability Exercise price Exercise period 12,500,000 shares 0 2,400,000 warrants 12,400,000 warrants Each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock. $6.00 Each warrant is exercisable on the later of: • the completion of a business combination with one or more target businesses, and • , 2008 [one year from the date of this prospectus]. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2011 [four years from the date of this prospectus] or earlier upon redemption. Redemption We may redeem the outstanding warrants including any of the insider warrants and any outstanding warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to Lazard Capital Markets LLC: • in whole and not in part, • at a price of $.01 per warrant at any time while the warrants are exercisable (which will occur only if a registration statement relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and current), • upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, and • if, and only if, the last sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption. We have established the above conditions to our exercise of redemption rights to provide: • warrant holders with adequate notice of our redemption so that they can exercise their warrants at a time when the common stock price is substantially above the warrant exercise price; and • a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing common stock price and the warrant exercise price so there is a buffer to absorb the market reaction, if any, to our redemption of the warrants. 4 Table of Contents If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption, each warrant holder can exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the common stock may fall below the $11.50 trigger price as well as the $6.00 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. If we call our warrants for redemption, the holders of the insider warrants would still be entitled to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis. Because of their affiliation with our management team, a conflict of interest may exist in determining when to call the warrants for redemption as they would potentially be able to avoid any negative price pressure on the price of the warrants and common stock due to the redemption through a cashless exercise. Proposed American Stock Exchange symbols for our: Units Common stock Warrants Offering proceeds to be held in trust “IDI.U” “IDI” “IDI.WS” $78,345,000 of the proceeds of this offering and the private placement (or $89,865,000, if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or approximately $7.83 per unit, will be placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, pursuant to an agreement to be signed on the date of this prospectus. This amount includes the $2,400,000 in proceeds from the private placement and $2,400,000 (or $2,760,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriters in this offering, subject to and upon our completion of a business combination. We believe that the inclusion in the trust account of the purchase price of the insider warrants and the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions is a benefit to our public stockholders because additional proceeds will be available for distribution to our public stockholders if a liquidation of our company occurs prior to our completing a business combination. Except as set forth below, these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of a business combination and our liquidation. Therefore, unless and until a business combination is consummated, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be available for our use for any deferred expenses related to this offering or expenses which we may incur related to the investigation and selection of a target business and the negotiation of an agreement to acquire a target business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon our written request which may be given from time to time, there can be released to us from the trust account, interest earned on the funds in the trust account, net of taxes payable on such interest, (i) up to an aggregate of $1,700,000 to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and our other working capital requirements and (ii) to pay any amounts we may need to pay our income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses 5 Table of Contents incurred by us may be paid prior to a business combination only from the net proceeds of this offering not held in the trust account (initially, approximately $250,000). None of the insider warrants may be exercised until after the consummation of a business combination and, thus, after the proceeds of the trust account have been disbursed. Accordingly, the proceeds from the exercise of the insider warrants will be paid directly to us and not placed in the trust account. Release of amounts held in trust account on the closing of our initial business combination All amounts held in the trust account that are not returned to investors upon conversion of their shares (as described below), previously released to us as interest income or payable to the underwriters for deferred discounts and commissions will be released to us on the closing of our initial business combination with one or more target businesses which have a fair market value of at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such business combination, subject to compliance with the conditions to consummating a business combination that are described below. At the time we complete an initial business combination, following our payment of amounts due to any public stockholders who exercise their conversion rights, there will be released to the underwriters from the trust account their deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that are equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering, or $2,400,000 (or $2,760,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full). Funds released from the trust account to us can be used to pay all or a portion of the purchase price of the business or businesses with which our initial combination occurs. If the business combination is paid for using stock or debt securities, we may apply the cash released to us from the trust account to general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of acquired businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in consummating our initial business combination or to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital. There will be no fees or other cash payments paid to our initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is) other than: • repayment of non-interest bearing loans of $200,000 in the aggregate made to us by Frost Gamma Investments Trust, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao to cover expenses relating to this offering; • a payment of $7,500 per month for office space and related services to Clarity Partners, L.P. Barry A. Porter, one of our special advisors, is a co-founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity Partners, L.P., and the grantor trust of Limited payments to insiders 6 Table of Contents Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial stockholders; and • reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. There is no limit on the total amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, provided that members of our management team will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount held outside of the trust account (initially, approximately $250,000) and interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, of up to $1,700,000 that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, unless a business combination is consummated. Our audit committee will review and approve all expense reimbursements made to members of our management team and any expense reimbursements payable to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval. Please see “Use of Proceeds” for additional information concerning the allocation of proceeds of this offering. Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which we will file with the Secretary of State of Delaware immediately prior to the consummation of this offering, provides that we will continue in existence only until , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] . If we have not completed a business combination by such date, our corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating, pursuant to Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This has the same effect as if our board of directors and stockholders had formally voted to approve our dissolution pursuant to Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Accordingly, limiting our corporate existence to a specified date as permitted by Section 102(b)(5) of the Delaware General Corporation Law removes the necessity to comply with the formal procedures set forth in Section 275 (which would have required our stockholders to formally vote to approve our dissolution and liquidation). In connection with any proposed business combination we submit to our stockholders for approval, we will also submit to stockholders a proposal to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to provide for our perpetual existence, thereby removing the limitation on our corporate life. We will only consummate a business combination if stockholders vote both in favor of such business combination and our amendment to provide for our perpetual existence. The approval of the proposal to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to provide for our perpetual existence 7 Table of Contents would require the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. We view the provision terminating our corporate life by , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] as an obligation to our stockholders. This provision will be amended only in connection with, and upon consummation of, our initial business combination by such date. Stockholders must approve business combination As required by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we will seek stockholder approval before we effect any business combination, even if the nature of the acquisition would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. We view this requirement as an obligation to our stockholders and will not take any action to amend or waive this provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our initial stockholders have agreed to vote the shares of common stock owned by them immediately before this offering either for or against the business combination in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by our public stockholders other than our initial stockholders. We will proceed with a business combination only if (i) a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders are voted in favor of the business combination and (ii) public stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in this offering exercise their conversion rights described below. Accordingly, it is our understanding and intention in every case to structure and consummate a business combination in which approximately 29.99% of the shares of common stock held by the public stockholders may exercise their conversion rights and the business combination will still go forward. Our threshold for conversion rights has been established at 30% in order for this offering to be competitive with other offerings by blank check companies currently in the market. However, a 20% threshold is more typical in offerings of this type. We have selected the higher threshold to reduce the risk of a small group of shareholders exercising undue influence on the stockholder approval process. However, the 30% threshold entails certain risks described under the headings, “Risk Factors — The ability of our stockholders to exercise their conversion rights may not allow us to effectuate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure” and “ — We will proceed with a business combination only if public stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in this offering exercise their conversion rights.” Conversion rights for stockholders voting to Under the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if a reject a business combination business combination is approved and completed, public stockholders voting against such business combination will be entitled to convert their common stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (initially approximately $7.83 per share), before payment 8 Table of Contents of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their pro rata portion of the trust account, net of taxes payable on such interest, and net of interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, (i) of up to $1,700,000 accrued and reserved or released to us as described above to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and our other working capital requirements or (ii) accrued and reserved or released to us as described above to pay our income or other tax obligations. We view this requirement as an obligation to our stockholders and will not take any action to amend or waive this provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our initial stockholders will not be able to convert their shares of common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly, whether acquired prior to, in or after this offering, under these circumstances (nor will they seek appraisal rights with respect to such shares if appraisal rights would be available to them). Public stockholders who convert their stock into their pro rata share of the trust account will continue to have the right to exercise any warrants they may hold. If the business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then public stockholders voting against such business combination will not be entitled to convert their shares of common stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account. Such public stockholders would only be entitled to convert their shares of common stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account in the event that such stockholders elect to vote against a subsequent business combination that is approved by stockholders and completed, or in connection with our dissolution and liquidation, discussed below. Public stockholders who convert their common stock into a pro rata share of the trust account will be paid promptly their conversion price following their exercise of conversion rights. The initial conversion price is approximately $7.83 per share. Since this amount is less than the $8.00 per unit price in this offering and may be lower than the market price of the common stock on the date of conversion, there may be a disincentive on the part of public stockholders to exercise their conversion rights. Because converting stockholders will receive their proportionate share of the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and the underwriters will be paid the full amount of their deferred underwriting compensation at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination, we, and the non-converting stockholders, will bear the financial effect of such payments to both the converting stockholders and the underwriters. Liquidation if no business combination As described above, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, if we have not consummated a business combination by , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] , our corporate existence will 9 Table of Contents cease by operation of law and we will promptly distribute only to our public stockholders the amount in our trust account including: • all accrued interest, net of taxes payable on such interest, and net of interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, (i) of up to $1,700,000 previously released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and our other working capital requirements, including the costs of our dissolution and liquidation or (ii) previously released to us to pay our income or other tax obligations; and • all deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, as well as any of our remaining net assets. At that time, pursuant to Section 281 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we will adopt a plan that will provide for our payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, we would be required to provide for any creditors known to us at that time as well as provide for any claims that we believe could potentially be brought against us within the subsequent 10 years prior to distributing the funds held in the trust to our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more). Furthermore, while we will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with our search for a target business) and prospective target business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind whatsoever they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the trust account or that a court would not conclude that such agreements are not legally enforceable. Phillip Frost, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao have agreed that they will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us, provided that such persons will not have any personal liability as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a valid and enforceable waiver. We have questioned each of them on their financial net worth and reviewed their financial information and believe that they will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that may arise. However, we cannot assure you that they will be able to satisfy those obligations, if they are required to do so. As a result, we cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the trust account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $7.83, plus interest then held in 10 Table of Contents the trust account. We anticipate the distribution of the funds in the trust account to our public stockholders will occur within 10 business days from the date our corporate existence ceases. We will pay the costs of liquidation from our remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, Phillip Frost, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao have agreed to advance us the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and have agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses. Escrow of initial shares and insider warrants On the date of this prospectus, all of our initial stockholders will place their initial shares and any insider warrants purchased by them into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Except as described below, the initial shares and the insider warrants will not be transferable during the applicable escrow period. The initial shares will not be released from escrow until one year after the consummation of a business combination, or earlier if, following a business combination, we engage in a subsequent transaction resulting in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or if we liquidate and dissolve. The insider warrants will not be released from escrow until 90 days after the completion of our business combination. Our initial stockholders are permitted, subject to applicable securities laws, to transfer all or a portion of the initial shares and insider warrants held by them to members of our management team, our employees and other persons or entities affiliated with members of our management team and employees. In addition, our initial stockholders may transfer initial shares and insider warrants held by them in certain other limited circumstances, such as to immediate family members and to trusts for estate planning purposes, and any entity holding initial shares or insider warrants may transfer such securities to persons or entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such entity, or to any stockholder, member, partner or limited partner of such entity. Transferees receiving initial shares or insider warrants must agree to be subject to the transfer restrictions described above. During the escrow period applicable to the initial shares, our initial stockholders will retain their rights as our stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. 11 Table of Contents Risks We are a newly formed company that has conducted no operations and has generated no revenues. Until we complete a business combination, we will have no operations and will generate no operating revenues. In making your decision on whether to invest in our securities, you should take into account not only the backgrounds of our management team, but also the special risks we face as a blank check company. In addition, this offering is not being conducted in compliance with Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, therefore, you will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings. For additional information concerning how Rule 419 blank check offerings differ from this offering, please see “Proposed Business — Comparison of this offering to those of blank check companies subject to Rule 419.” You should carefully consider these and the other risks set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 of this prospectus. 12 Table of Contents SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA The following table summarizes the relevant financial data for our business and should be read with our financial statements, which are included in this prospectus. We have not had any significant operations to date, so only balance sheet data are presented. June 15, 2007 As Adjusted Actual Balance Sheet Data: Working capital (deficiency) Total assets Total liabilities Value of common stock which may be converted to cash Stockholders’ equity $ (10,000 ) 255,000 235,000 — $ 20,000 $ $ 78,615,000 78,615,000 2,400,000 23,503,492 52,711,508 (1) The “as adjusted” liabilities consist of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to be placed in trust and to be payable to the underwriters only if we consummate a business combination. The “as adjusted” information gives effect to the sale of the units we are offering, including the application of the related gross proceeds, the receipt of $2,400,000 from the sale of the insider warrants, the payment of the estimated remaining expenses of this offering and the repayment of the accrued and other liabilities required to be repaid. Additionally, if a business combination is consummated, public stockholders who voted against the business combination and exercised their conversion rights would be entitled to receive approximately $7.83 per share, which amount represents approximately $7.59 per share from the proceeds of this offering and the private placement and $0.24 per share of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions. The working capital deficiency excludes $30,000 of costs related to this offering which were paid or incurred prior to June 15, 2007. These deferred offering costs have been recorded as a long-term asset and are reclassified against stockholders’ equity in the “as adjusted” information. The “as adjusted” working capital and total assets amounts include the $75,945,000 to be held in the trust account, which will be available to us only upon the consummation of a business combination within the time period described in this prospectus. The “as adjusted” total assets also include an additional $2,400,000 (or $0.24 per share) of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to be placed in trust and to be payable to the underwriters in the offering only if we consummate a business combination. If a business combination is not so consummated, the trust account, and all accrued interest earned thereon less (i) up to $1,700,000 that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements and (ii) any amounts released to us to pay our income or other tax obligations, will be distributed solely to our public stockholders (subject to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors). We will not proceed with a business combination if public stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in this offering vote against the business combination and exercise their conversion rights. Accordingly, we may effect a business combination if public stockholders owning up to approximately 29.99% of the shares sold in this offering exercise their conversion rights. If this occurred, we would be required to convert to cash up to approximately 29.99% of the 10,000,000 shares sold in this offering, or 2,999,999 shares of common stock, at an initial per-share conversion price of approximately $7.83 (for a total of approximately $23,500,000, including $2,400,000, or $0.24 per share, payable from the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), without taking into account interest earned on the trust account. The actual per share conversion price will be equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, before payment of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, and including any interest earned on their pro rata share, net of taxes payable on such interest, and net of interest income of up to $1,700,000 of the interest income on the trust account balance released to us to fund working capital requirements (net of taxes payable on such interest), as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the business combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock sold in this offering. 13 Table of Contents RISK FACTORS An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the material risks described below, which we believe represent all the material risks related to the offering, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our units. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks described below. Risks Related to Our Business and This Offering We are a newly formed, development stage company with no operating history and no revenues and, accordingly, you will not have any basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective. We are a recently incorporated development stage company with no operating results to date. Therefore, our ability to commence operations is dependent upon obtaining financing through the public offering of our securities. Because we do not have an operating history, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire an operating business. We have not conducted any discussions and we have no plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective acquisition candidates and may be unable to complete a business combination. We will not generate any revenues until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination. We may not be able to consummate a business combination within the required time frame, in which case, we would be forced to liquidate. We must complete a business combination with a business or businesses whose fair market value is at least 80% of our net assets at the time of the business combination within 24 months after the consummation of this offering. If we fail to consummate a business combination within the required time frame, we will be forced to liquidate our assets. We may not be able to consummate a business combination for any number of reasons. We may not be able to find suitable target businesses within the required time frame. In addition, our negotiating position and our ability to conduct adequate due diligence on any potential target may be reduced as we approach the deadline for the consummation of a business combination. Furthermore, we will be unable to consummate a business combination if holders of 30% or more of the shares sold in this offering vote against the transaction and opt to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the trust account even if a majority of our shareholders approve the transaction. If we fail to complete a specific business combination after expending substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, and others, such costs likely would not be recoverable, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and combine with another target business within the required time frame. We do not have any specific business combination under consideration, and neither we nor any representative acting on our behalf has had any contacts with any target businesses regarding a business combination, nor taken any direct or indirect actions to locate or search for a target business. If we are forced to liquidate before a business combination and distribute the trust account, our public stockholders will receive less than $8.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless. If we are unable to complete a business combination within the prescribed time frames and are forced to liquidate our assets, the per-share liquidation distribution will be less than $8.00 because of the expenses of this offering, our general and administrative expenses and the anticipated costs of seeking a business combination. Furthermore, there will be no liquidating distribution with respect to our outstanding warrants which will expire worthless if we liquidate before the completion of a business combination. 14 Table of Contents If the net proceeds of this offering available to us outside of the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 24 months, we may be unable to complete a business combination. Upon the consummation of this offering, there will be funds available to us outside of the trust account of $250,000, plus any amounts that we need to pay our income or other tax obligations and up to an additional $1,700,000 that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, which will be funded solely from interest earned on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest. We believe that these funds will be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 24 months, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. However, we cannot assure you that our estimates will be accurate. We may request the release of such funds for a number of purposes that may not ultimately lead to a business combination. For instance, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment with respect to a particular proposed business combination, or enter into a letter of intent where we pay for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, where we may be required to forfeit funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise). In any of these cases, or in other situations where we expend the funds available to us outside of the trust account for purposes that do not result in a business combination, we may not have sufficient remaining funds to continue searching for, or to conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business, in which case we would be forced to obtain alternative financing or liquidate. Under Delaware law, the requirements and restrictions relating to this offering contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may be amended, which could reduce or eliminate the protection afforded to our stockholders by such requirements and restrictions. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains certain requirements and restrictions relating to this offering that will apply to us until the consummation of a business combination. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires that we obtain the consent of 95% of our stockholders to amend the following provisions: • upon consummation of this offering, $78,345,000 (or $89,865,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), of the proceeds from the offering and the private placement shall be placed into the trust account, which proceeds may not be disbursed from the trust account except in connection with a business combination, including the payment of the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, or thereafter, upon our dissolution and liquidation, or as otherwise permitted in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation; • prior to consummating a business combination, we must submit such business combination to our stockholders for approval; • we may consummate the business combination if approved by a majority of our stockholders and public stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in this offering exercise their conversion rights; • if a business combination is approved and consummated, public stockholders who voted against the business combination and who exercise their conversion rights will receive their pro rata share of the trust account, before payment of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their pro rata share, net of taxes payable on such interest, and net of interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, (i) of up to $1,700,000 accrued and reserved or released to us to fund working capital requirements or (ii) accrued and reserved or released to us to pay income or other tax obligations; and • if a business combination is not consummated within the time periods specified in this prospectus, then our corporate purposes and powers will immediately thereupon be limited to acts and activities relating to dissolving and winding up our affairs, including liquidation of our assets, including funds in the trust account, and we will not be able to engage in any other business activities. 15 Table of Contents You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors of blank check companies. Since the net proceeds of this offering are intended to be used to complete a business combination with a target business that has not been identified, we may be deemed to be a blank check company under the United States securities laws. However, since our securities will be listed on the American Stock Exchange, a national securities exchange, and we will have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 upon the successful consummation of this offering and will file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including an audited balance sheet demonstrating this fact, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies such as Rule 419. Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this means our units will be immediately tradeable, compared with offerings subject to Rule 419, which would prohibit trading of the units or the underlying common stock or warrants until the completion of a business combination. We will have a longer period of time to complete a business combination than do companies subject to Rule 419. Also, an offering subject to Rule 419 would restrict us from acquiring a target business unless the fair value of such business or net assets to be acquired represented at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds, compared with this offering, in which the target business that we acquire with the proceeds of this offering must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition. Moreover, offerings subject to Rule 419 would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in the trust account to us unless, and only after, the funds held in the trust account were released to us in connection with our consummation of a business combination. As this offering is not subject to Rule 419, an aggregate of up to $1,700,000 we may need to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements and any amounts that we may need to pay our income or other tax obligations may be released to us from the interest earned on the funds held in the trust account, net of taxes payable on such interest. For additional information concerning how Rule 419 blank check offerings differ from this offering, please see “Proposed Business — Comparison of this offering to those of blank check companies subject to Rule 419.” Because there are numerous companies with a business plan similar to ours seeking to effectuate a business combination, it may be more difficult for us to do so. Based upon publicly available information, since August 2003, approximately 110 similarly structured blank check companies have completed initial public offerings in the United States. Of these companies, only 26 companies have consummated a business combination, while 24 other companies have announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination, but have not consummated such business combination, and while 5 companies have dissolved or announced their intention to dissolve and return proceeds to investors. Accordingly, there are approximately 55 blank check companies with more than approximately $5.7 billion in trust that are seeking to carry out a business plan similar to our business plan. Furthermore, as of June 22, 2007, there are approximately 32 additional blank check companies that are still in the registration process but have not completed initial public offerings, which will have approximately $2.9 billion in trust upon completion of the offerings, and there are likely to be more blank check companies filing registration statements for initial public offerings after the date of this prospectus and prior to our completion of a business combination. While some of those companies must complete a business combination in specific industries, a number of them may consummate a business combination in any industry they choose. Therefore, we may be subject to competition from these and other companies seeking to carry out a business plan similar to ours. Because of this competition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to effectuate a business combination within the required time periods. We will depend on interest earned on the trust account to fund our search for a target business or businesses, to pay our tax obligations and to complete our initial business combination. Of the net proceeds of this offering, only approximately $250,000 will be available to us initially outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. We will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the trust account to provide us with additional working capital we will need to identify one or more target businesses and to complete our initial business combination, as well as to pay any tax obligations that we may owe. While we are entitled to have released to us for such purposes certain interest 16 Table of Contents earned on the funds in the trust account, a substantial decline in interest rates may result in our having insufficient funds available with which to structure, negotiate or close an initial business combination. In such event, we would need to borrow funds from our management team to operate or may be forced to liquidate. However, neither our management team nor any other party is required to provide financing to us under any circumstances. If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders will be less than $7.83. Our placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors and service providers we engage and prospective target businesses we negotiate with execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind whatsoever in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the trust account, or if executed, that such waivers will be enforceable or otherwise prevent potential contracted parties from making claims against the trust account. Nor is there any guarantee that a court would uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of our public stockholders and, as a result, the per-share liquidation price could be less than $7.83 due to claims of such third parties. If we liquidate before the completion of a business combination and distribute the proceeds held in trust to our public stockholders, Phillip Frost, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao have agreed that they will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us, provided that such persons will not have any personal liability as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a valid and enforceable waiver. Because we will seek to have all vendors and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind whatsoever they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, we believe the likelihood of such persons having any such obligations is minimal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have questioned them on their financial net worth and reviewed their financial information and believe that they will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that may arise. However, we cannot assure you that they will be able to satisfy those obligations. Therefore, if we liquidate, we cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the trust account will not be less than $7.83 plus interest, due to such claims. Furthermore, creditors may seek to interfere with the distribution of the trust account pursuant to federal or state creditor and bankruptcy laws, which could delay the actual distribution of such funds or reduce the amount ultimately available for distribution to our public stockholders. If we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. Any claims by creditors could cause additional delays in the distribution of trust funds to the public stockholders beyond the time periods required to comply with Delaware General Corporation Law procedures and federal securities laws and regulations. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to our public stockholders at least $7.83 per share. Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will continue in existence only until 24 months from the date of this prospectus. If we have not completed a business combination by such date and amended this provision in connection thereto, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating. Under Sections 280 through 282 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in dissolution. If 17 Table of Contents the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to make liquidating distributions to our stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. Because we will not be complying with those procedures, we are required, pursuant to Section 281 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to adopt a plan that will provide for our payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, we would be required to provide for any creditors known to us at that time or those that we believe could be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years prior to distributing the funds held in the trust to stockholders. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from our stockholders amounts owed to them by us. Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders in our dissolution could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders in our dissolution. Because we intend to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to our public stockholders promptly after , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] , this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to our public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from our assets. Furthermore, our board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. An effective registration statement may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise his, her or its warrants and causing such warrants to be practically worthless. No warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless, at the time of such exercise we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so, and if we do not maintain a current prospectus related to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and we will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless. 18 Table of Contents An investor will only be able to exercise a warrant if the issuance of common stock upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or is deemed exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. No warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless the common stock issuable upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of such warrants. Because the exemptions from qualification in certain states for resales of warrants and for issuances of common stock by the issuer upon exercise of a warrant may be different, a warrant may be held by a holder in a state where an exemption is not available for issuance of common stock upon an exercise and the holder will be precluded from exercise of the warrant. At the time that the warrants become exercisable, we expect to either continue to be listed on a national securities exchange, which, under current laws, would provide an exemption from registration in every state, or we would register the warrants in every state (or seek another exemption from registration in such states). Accordingly, we believe holders in every state will be able to exercise their warrants as long as our prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current. However, we cannot assure you of this fact. As a result, the warrants may be deprived of any value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the holders of warrants may not be able to exercise their warrants if the common stock issuable upon such exercise is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdiction in which the holders of the warrants reside. Since we are not restricted to a particular industry and we have not yet selected a target business with which to complete a business combination, we are unable to currently ascertain the merits or risks of the industry or business in which we may ultimately operate. While our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular industry, we expect to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, which encompasses companies that create, distribute or service others that create or distribute content for various platforms, including online, mobile, television, cable, satellite, radio, print, film, video games and software. Accordingly, there is no current basis for you to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate or the target business which we may ultimately acquire. To the extent we complete a business combination with a company that does not have a stable history of earnings and growth or an entity in a relatively early stage of its development, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of those entities. If we complete a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we may be affected by the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. Even if we properly assess those risks, some of them may be outside of our control or ability to affect. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in this offering than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a target business. We may issue shares of our capital stock or debt securities to complete a business combination, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders and likely cause a change in control of our ownership. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will be in effect at the time of consummation of this offering, authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Immediately after this offering and the purchase of the insider warrants (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option), there will be 24,100,000 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of the shares upon full exercise of our outstanding warrants and the unit purchase option granted to Lazard Capital Markets LLC) and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. Although we have no commitment as of the date of this offering, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common or preferred stock, or a combination of common and 19 Table of Contents preferred stock, including through convertible debt securities, to complete a business combination. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or any number of shares of our preferred stock: • may significantly reduce the equity interest of investors in this offering; • may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if we issue preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our common stock; • will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are 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; and • may adversely affect the then-prevailing market price for our common stock. Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in: • default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating cash flow after a business combination is insufficient to pay 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; • a required immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and • 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 long-term success will likely be dependent upon a yet to be identified management team which you will not be able to fully evaluate prior to purchasing our units. Our ability to successfully effect a business combination is dependent upon the efforts of our management team. The future role of our management team in the target business, however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although it is possible that some members of our management team, including Robert N. Fried, will remain associated in various capacities with the target business following a business combination, it is likely that the management team of the target business at the time of the business combination will remain in place given that it is likely that they will have greater knowledge, experience and expertise than our management team in the industry in which the target business operates as well as in managing the target business. Thus, even though our management team may continue to be associated with us in various capacities after a business combination, it is likely that we will be dependent upon a yet to be identified management team for our long-term success. As a result, you will not be able to fully evaluate the management team that we will likely be dependent upon for our long-term success prior to purchasing our units in this offering. Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management team of a prospective target business in connection with evaluating the desirability of effecting a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of the management team will prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company and the securities laws, which could increase the time and resources we must expend to assist them in becoming familiar with the complex disclosure and financial reporting requirements imposed on U.S. public companies. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues that may adversely affect our operations. We will likely seek a business combination with one or more privately-held companies, which may present certain challenges to us, including the lack of available information about these companies. In accordance with our business strategy, we will likely seek a business combination with one or more privately-held companies. Generally, very little public information exists about these companies, and we are required to rely on the ability of our management team to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from investing in these companies. If we are unable to uncover all material information about 20 Table of Contents these companies, then we may not make a fully informed investment decision, and we may lose money on our investments. If we do not conduct an adequate due diligence investigation of a target business with which we combine, we may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring, and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. In order to meet our disclosure and financial reporting obligations under the federal securities laws, and in order to develop and seek to execute strategic plans for how we can increase the revenues and/or profitability of a target business, realize operating synergies or capitalize on market opportunities, we must conduct a due diligence investigation of one or more target businesses. Intensive due diligence is time consuming and expensive due to the operations, accounting, finance and legal professionals who must be involved in the due diligence process. Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may be present inside a particular target business, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. If our diligence fails to identify issues specific to a target business, industry or the environment in which the target business operates, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our common stock. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining post-combination debt financing. There is no limit on the total amount of out-of-pocket expenses that may be incurred by our officers and directors in connection with identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. We will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit on the total amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, provided that members of our management team will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount held outside of the trust account of $250,000 and interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, of up to $1,700,000 that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, unless a business combination is consummated. Additionally, there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses other than by our audit committee and, in some cases, by our board of directors, or if such reimbursement is challenged, by a court of competent jurisdiction. As out-of-pocket expenses incurred by our officers and directors will not be subject to any dollar limit or any review of the reasonableness of such expenses other than by our audit committee or our board of directors, the aggregate business expenses incurred by our officers and directors in connection with investigating and selecting possible target businesses may be greater than if such expenses were subject to a more extensive review, which would reduce the amount of working capital available to us for a business combination. In addition, if such out-of-pocket expenses exceed the available funds held outside of the trust and the interest income that may be released to us as described above, our members of management will not be reimbursed for such excess unless we consummate a business combination. As described in more detail below, this may create a conflict of interest for members of our management in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination and in the public stockholders’ best interest. 21 Table of Contents Our officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination. Our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time between our operations and their other commitments. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. All of our executive officers are engaged in several other business endeavors and are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs. If our officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination. We cannot assure you that these conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us. Additionally, our officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities to which they owe fiduciary duties. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. We cannot assure you that these conflicts will be resolved in our favor. As a result, a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us and we may not be able to pursue a potential transaction. Certain of our officers and directors beneficially own shares of our common stock issued prior to the offering and will beneficially own warrants following this offering. These shares and warrants will not participate in liquidation distributions and, therefore, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination. Our initial stockholders own shares of our common stock that were issued prior to this offering. Certain of our initial stockholders will also purchase all of the insider warrants on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. Such initial stockholders will not be able to exercise their insider warrants if investors in this offering are not able to exercise their warrants. The insider warrants are identical to warrants underlying the units sold in this offering, except that if we call the warrants for redemption, the insider warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are still held by the purchasers or their affiliates. Our initial stockholders have waived their right to receive distributions with respect to their initial shares upon our liquidation if we are unable to consummate a business combination. Accordingly, the shares acquired prior to this offering, as well as the insider warrants, and any warrants purchased by our officers or directors in this offering or in the aftermarket will be worthless if we do not consummate a business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest. Unless we complete a business combination, members of our management team will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses they incur if such expenses exceed the available funds held outside of the trust and the interest income that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements. Therefore, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination and in the public stockholders’ best interest. Members of our management team will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the $250,000 held outside of the trust account and 22 Table of Contents interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, of up to $1,700,000 that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, unless a business combination is consummated. Members of our management team may, as part of any such combination, negotiate the repayment of some or all of any such expenses. If the target business’ owners do not agree to such repayment, this could cause our management team to view such potential business combination unfavorably, thereby resulting in a conflict of interest. The financial interests of members of our management team could influence their motivation in selecting a target business and thus, there may be a conflict of interest when determining whether a particular business combination is in the stockholders’ best interest. The American Stock Exchange may delist our securities from quotation on its exchange which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions. We anticipate that our securities will be listed on the American Stock Exchange, a national securities exchange, upon consummation of this offering. We cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on the American Stock Exchange in the future prior to a business combination. Additionally, in connection with our business combination, it is likely that the American Stock Exchange will require us to file a new initial listing application and meet its initial listing requirements as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. If the American Stock Exchange delists our securities from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: • a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; • a reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; • a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock; • a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; • a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and • a determination that we are subject to Section 2115(b) of the California Corporations Code. For additional information concerning Section 2115(b) of the California Corporations Code, please see “Description of Securities — Applicability of Provisions of California Corporate Law.” We may only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds of this offering, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business which may have a limited number of products or services. Our initial business combination must be with a business with a fair market value of at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition, although this may entail the simultaneous acquisitions of several operating businesses at the same time. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be: • solely dependent upon the performance of a single business, or • dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. 23 Table of Contents This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination. Alternatively, if our business combination entails the simultaneous acquisitions of several operating businesses at the same time from different sellers, we would face additional risks, including difficulties and expenses incurred in connection with the subsequent integration of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies into a single operating business. If we are unable to adequately address these risks, it could negatively impact our profitability and results of operations. We may effect a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in the early stage of development or growth, which may subject us to greater risks than if we were to effect a business combination with a more established company with a proven record of earnings and growth. After conducting due diligence investigations to evaluate risks in potential target businesses, we may still decide to effect a business combination with a company that is financially unstable or is in the early stage of development or growth, including an entity without established records of sales or earnings. To the extent we effect a business combination with financially unstable or early stage or emerging growth companies, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of such companies that we would not be subject to if we were to effect a business combination with a more established company with a proven record of earnings and growth. The ability of our stockholders to exercise their conversion rights may not allow us to effectuate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure. When we seek stockholder approval of any business combination, we will offer each public stockholder, but not our initial stockholders, the right to have his, her or its shares of common stock converted to cash if the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Such holder must both vote against such business combination and then exercise his, her or its conversion rights to receive a pro rata portion of the trust account. Accordingly, if our business combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay the purchase price, because we will not know how many stockholders may exercise such conversion rights, we may either need to reserve part of the trust account for possible payment upon such conversion if the transaction is approved, or we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our business combination in case a larger percentage of stockholders exercise their conversion rights than we expect. The conversion rights afforded to the public stockholders may result in the conversion into cash of up to approximately 29.99% of the aggregate number of the shares sold in this offering. Therefore, as much as approximately $23,500,000 (plus the converting stockholders’ share of all accrued interest after distribution of interest income on the trust account balance to us as described above) may be required to fund the exercise of conversion rights. Since we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing. Therefore, we may not be able to consummate a business combination that requires us to use all of the funds held in the trust account as part of the purchase price, or we may end up having a leverage ratio that is not optimal for our business combination. In the event that the acquisition involves the issuance of our stock as consideration, we may be required to issue a higher percentage of our stock to make up for a shortfall in funds. Raising additional funds to cover any shortfall may involve dilutive equity financing or incurring indebtedness at a higher than desirable level. This may limit our ability to effectuate the most attractive business combination available to us. We will proceed with a business combination only if public stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in this offering exercise their conversion rights. We will proceed with a business combination only if public stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in this offering exercise their conversion rights. Accordingly, approximately 29.99% of the public stockholders may exercise their conversion rights and we could still consummate a proposed business 24 Table of Contents combination. We have established the conversion percentage at 30%, rather than the 20% threshold that is customary and standard of offerings similar to ours, in order to reduce the likelihood that a small group of investors holding a large block of our stock will be able to stop us from completing a business combination that is otherwise approved by a large majority of our public stockholders. Thus, because we permit a larger number of stockholders to exercise their conversion rights, it will be easier for us to consummate an initial business combination with a target business which you may believe is not suitable for us, and you may not receive the full amount of your original investment upon exercise of your conversion rights. Our business combination may require us to use substantially all of our cash to pay the purchase price. In such a case, because we will not know how many stockholders may exercise such conversion rights, we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our business combination in case a large percentage of stockholders exercise their conversion rights. Additionally, even if our business combination does not require us to use substantially all of our cash to pay the purchase price, we will have less cash available to use in furthering our business plans following a business combination to the extent that our stockholders exercise their conversion rights, and may need to arrange third party financing. We have not taken any steps to secure third party financing for either situation. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such third party financing on terms favorable to us or at all. Because of our limited resources and structure, we may not be able to consummate an attractive business combination. We expect to encounter intense competition from entities, including other blank check companies having a business objective similar to ours, private equity funds, venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do, and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of this offering, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by the availability of sufficient financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. In addition, we expect to focus our efforts on identifying a prospective target business in the in the digital media sector, and Robert Fried, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the only member of our management team with experience in that sector. Furthermore, the obligation we have to seek stockholder approval of a business combination may delay the consummation of a transaction. Additionally, our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. The fact that only 26 of the blank check companies that have gone public in the United States since August 2003 have consummated a business combination and only 24 other companies have announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination may be an indication that there are fewer attractive target businesses available to such entities like our company or that many privately held target businesses are not inclined to enter into these types of transactions with publicly held blank check companies like ours. If we are unable to consummate a business combination with a target business within the prescribed time periods, we will be forced to liquidate. We may be unable to obtain any additional financing necessary to complete a business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination. We believe that the net proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to allow us to consummate a business combination. However, because we have not yet identified any prospective target business, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds of this offering prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the business combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds expended in search of a target business, or the obligation to convert into cash a significant number of shares from dissenting stockholders, we will be required to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you that such 25 Table of Contents financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular business combination, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. In addition, even if we do not need additional financing to consummate a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure such financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with, or following, a business combination. Our initial stockholders, including our officers and directors, control a substantial interest in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring a stockholder vote. Upon consummation of our offering, our initial stockholders will collectively own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock (assuming they do not purchase any units in this offering). Unless we are subject to Section 2115(b) of the California Corporations Code, upon the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. We may consummate an initial business combination before there is an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office at least until the consummation of our initial business combination. If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of our “staggered” board of directors, only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election, and our initial stockholders, because of their ownership position, will have considerable influence regarding the outcome. Accordingly, our initial stockholders will continue to exert control at least until the consummation of a business combination. In addition, our initial stockholders and their affiliates are not prohibited from purchasing units in this offering or our common stock in the aftermarket. If they do so, our initial stockholders will have a greater influence on the vote taken in connection with a business combination. Our stockholders will not be able to take any action by written consent subsequent to the consummation of this offering, which may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing takeover attempts or other changes in the control of our company, our board or management, that are not supported by our board of directors, despite possible benefits to our stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders will not be able to take any action by written consent subsequent to the consummation of this offering, but will only be able to take action at a duly called annual or special meetings of stockholders. Our bylaws further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called by a majority of our board of directors, by our Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer and will be called by our President or Secretary upon the written request of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. These provisions, by making it difficult for our stockholders to take action, may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing non-negotiated takeover attempts not approved by our board of directors that our stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions that might result in payment of a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders. Moreover, these provisions may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove members of our board of directors. Our initial stockholders paid an aggregate of $25,000, or $0.01 per share, for their initial shares and, accordingly, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution from the purchase of our common stock. The difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock (allocating the entire unit purchase price to the common stock and none to the warrant included in the unit) and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to the investors in this offering. Our initial stockholders acquired their initial shares of common stock at a nominal price, significantly contributing to this dilution. Assuming the offering is completed, you and the other new investors will incur an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately 30.6% or $2.45 per share (the difference 26 Table of Contents between the pro forma net tangible book value per share of $5.55, and the initial offering price of $8.00 per unit). Our outstanding warrants and option may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult to effect a business combination. We will be issuing warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock as part of the units offered by this prospectus and will also issue the insider warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of common stock. In addition, we will grant an option to purchase 500,000 units to the representative of the underwriters which, if exercised, will result in the issuance of an additional 500,000 warrants. To the extent we issue shares of common stock to effect a business combination, the potential for the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares upon exercise of these warrants and option could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle in the eyes of a target business. This is because such securities, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and reduce the value of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, our warrants and option may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the target business. Additionally, the sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares underlying the warrants and option could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. If and to the extent these warrants and option are exercised, you may experience dilution to your holdings. If our initial stockholders or holders of the insider warrants exercise their registration rights with respect to their initial shares or insider warrants (or underlying securities), it may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to effect a business combination. The holders of the initial shares issued and outstanding on the date of this prospectus, as well as the holders of the insider warrants (and underlying securities), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. The holders of the majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. As the initial shares will be released from escrow one year after the consummation of a business combination, our initial stockholders will be able to make a demand for registration of the resale of their initial shares at any time commencing nine months after the consummation of a business combination. The holders of a majority of the insider warrants (or underlying securities) will be able to elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. If our initial stockholders or the holders of the insider warrants (or underlying securities) exercise their registration rights with respect to all of their initial shares or the insider warrants (or underlying securities), as the case may be, then there will be an additional 4,900,000 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. The presence of these additional shares of common stock trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the target business, as the stockholders of the target business may be discouraged from entering into a business combination with us or will request a higher price for their securities because of the potential effect the exercise of such rights may have on the trading market for our common stock. If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to satisfy burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it more difficult for us to complete a business combination. A company that, among other things, is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, trading or holding certain types of securities would be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Since we will invest the proceeds held in the trust account, it is possible that we will be deemed an investment 27 Table of Contents company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act of 1940. To this end, the proceeds held in trust will be invested by the trustee only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, we intend to meet the requirements for the exemption provided in Rule 3a-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we are nevertheless deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we may be subject to certain restrictions that may make it more difficult for us to complete a business combination, including: • restrictions on the nature of our investments; and • restrictions on the issuance of securities. In addition, we may have imposed upon us certain burdensome compliance requirements, including: • registration as an investment company; • adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and • reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy, compliance policies and procedures and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations. Compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expense for which we have not allotted. The determination of the offering price of our units is more arbitrary compared with the pricing of securities for an operating company in a particular industry. Prior to this offering there has been no public market for any of our securities. The public offering price of the units and the terms of the warrants were negotiated between us and the underwriters. Factors considered in determining the prices and terms of the units, including the common stock and warrants underlying the units, include: • the history and prospects of companies whose principal business is the acquisition of other companies; • prior offerings of those companies; • our prospects for acquiring an operating business at attractive values; • our capital structure; • an assessment of our management and their experience in identifying operating companies; • general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering; and • other factors as were deemed relevant. However, although these factors were considered, the determination of our offering price is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities for an operating company in a particular industry since we have no historical operations or financial results to compare them to. If we acquire a target business with operations outside of the United States, economic, political, social and other factors of the country where the target business operates may adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objective. If we seek to acquire a target business that operates in a foreign country, our ability to achieve our business objective may be adversely affected by economic, political, social and religious factors of the country where the target business operates. The economy of such country may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as the level of economic development, the amount of governmental 28 Table of Contents involvement, the growth rate of its gross domestic product, the allocation of resources, the control of foreign exchange, the rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. These differences may adversely affect our ability to acquire one or more businesses with operations outside the United States. Additionally, changes in the country’s laws or regulations or political conditions may also impact our ability to acquire a foreign target business. One or more countries where the target business operates may have corporate disclosure, governance and regulatory requirements that are different from those in the United States, which may make it more difficult or complex to consummate a business combination. Companies in other countries are subject to accounting, auditing, regulatory and financial standards and requirements that differ, in some cases significantly, from those applicable to public companies in the United States, which may make it more difficult or complex to consummate a business combination. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of a company located outside the United States may not reflect its financial position or results of operations in the way they would be reflected had such financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. There may be substantially less publicly available information about companies located outside the United States than there is about United States companies. Moreover, companies in other countries may not be subject to the same degree of regulation as are United States companies with respect to such matters as insider trading rules, tender offer regulation, shareholder proxy requirements and the timely disclosure of information. Legal principles relating to corporate affairs and the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities and shareholders’ rights for companies located outside the United States may differ from those that may apply in the United States, which may make the consummation of a business combination with such companies located outside of the United States more difficult. We therefore may have more difficulty in achieving our business objective. Foreign currency fluctuations could adversely affect our business and financial results. If we acquire a target business which does business and generates sales in one or more countries outside the United States, foreign currency fluctuations may affect the costs that we incur in such international operations. It is also possible that some or all of our operating expenses may be incurred in non-U.S. dollar currencies. The appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies in those countries where we have operations against the U.S. dollar would increase our costs and could harm our results of operations and financial condition. Exchange controls that exist in certain countries may limit our ability to utilize our cash flow effectively following a business combination. If we effect a business combination with a target business that operates in one or more countries outside of the United States, we may become subject to rules and regulations on currency conversion that are in effect in certain countries. Such rules and regulations impose restrictions on conversion of local currency into foreign currencies with respect to entities with foreign equity holdings in excess of a certain level. Such restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use our cash flow for the distribution of dividends to our shareholders or to fund operations we may have outside of the country where the target business is located. Because any target business with which we attempt to complete a business combination may be required to provide our stockholders with financial statements prepared in accordance with, or which can be reconciled to, United States generally accepted accounting principles, prospective target businesses may be limited. In accordance with requirements of United States federal securities laws, in order to seek stockholder approval of a business combination, a proposed target business may be required to have certain financial statements which are prepared in accordance with, or which can be reconciled to, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and audited in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. To the extent that a proposed target business does not have financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with, or which can be reconciled to, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and audited in accordance 29 Table of Contents with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, we may not be able to complete a business combination with that proposed target business. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses with which we may complete a business combination. Returns on investment in companies with operations outside the United States may be decreased by withholding and other taxes. If we effect a business combination with a target business that operates in one or more countries outside of the United States, our investments in certain countries may incur tax risk, and income that might otherwise not be subject to withholding of local income tax under normal international conventions may be subject to withholding in such countries. Any withholding taxes paid by us on income from our investments in other countries may or may not be creditable on our income tax returns. We intend to avail ourselves of income tax treaties that are in place to seek to minimize any withholding tax or local tax otherwise imposed in other countries. However, there is no assurance that the local tax authorities will recognize application of such treaties to achieve a minimization of local tax. We may also elect to create foreign subsidiaries to effect the business combinations to attempt to limit the potential tax consequences of a business combination. Certain sectors of the economy in one or more countries where a target business operates may be subject to government regulations that limit foreign ownership, which may adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objective. Some countries have in place government regulations that aim to limit foreign ownership in certain sectors of their economy. As we intend to avoid sectors in which foreign investment is disallowed, the possible number of acquisitions outside of the United States that are available for investment may be limited. Our management team will evaluate the risk associated with investments in sectors in which foreign investment is restricted. However, there can be no guarantee that our management team will be correct in its assessment of political and policy risk associated with investments in general and in particular in sectors that are regulated by the applicable government. Any changes in policy could have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our business objective. If any relevant government authorities find us or the target business with which we ultimately complete a business combination to be in violation of any existing or future laws or regulations in place, they would have broad discretion in dealing with such a violation, including, without limitation: • Levying fines; • Revoking our business and other licenses; and • Requiring that we restructure our ownership or operations. If we effect a business combination with a target business located outside of the United States, the target business’s operations may become less attractive if political and diplomatic relations between the United States and the country where the target business is located deteriorate. The relationship between the United States and the country where a target business is located may weaken over time. Changes in the state of the relations between such country and the United States are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our future operations or cause potential target businesses to become less attractive. This could lead to a decline in our profitability. Any meaningful deterioration of the political and diplomatic relations between the United States and the relevant country could have a material adverse effect on our operations after a successful completion of a business combination. 30 Table of Contents If we effect a business combination with a target business located outside of the United States, we may be unable to enforce our rights because the local judiciary, which may be relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, will determine the scope and enforcement of almost all of our target business’s material agreements under local law. If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws of the country in which such company operates will govern almost all of the material agreements relating to its operations. We cannot assure you that the target business will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available in this new jurisdiction. The local judiciary may be relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, and the system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital. If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations. If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to risks associated with companies operating in the target business’s home jurisdiction. The additional risks we may be exposed to include but are not limited to the following: • tariffs and trade barriers; • regulations related to customs and import/export matters; • longer payment cycles; • tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States; • challenges in collecting accounts receivable; • cultural and language differences; • employment regulations; and • crimes, strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks and wars. We cannot assure you that we would be able to adequately address these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, our operations might suffer. Risks Associated with the Digital Media Sector We believe the following risks would apply to us if we targeted an operating business in the digital media sector: The speculative nature of the digital media sector may result in our inability to produce products or services that receive sufficient market acceptance for us to be successful. Certain segments of the digital media sector are highly speculative and historically have involved a substantial degree of risk. For example, the success of a particular film, video game, program or recreational attraction depends upon unpredictable and changing factors, including the success of promotional efforts, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, public acceptance and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we complete a business combination with a target business in such a segment, we may be unable to produce products or services that receive sufficient market acceptance for us to be successful. 31 Table of Contents Changes in technology may reduce the demand for the products or services we may offer following a business combination. The digital media sector is substantially affected by rapid and significant changes in technology. These changes may reduce the demand for certain existing services and technologies used in these industries or render them obsolete. We cannot assure you that the technologies used by or relied upon or produced by a target business with which we effect a business combination will not be subject to such occurrence. While we may attempt to adapt and apply the services provided by the target business to newer technologies, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources to fund these changes or that these changes will ultimately prove successful. If following a business combination, the products or services that we market or sell are not accepted by the public, our profits may decline. Certain segments of the digital media sector are dependent on developing and marketing new products and services that respond to technological and competitive developments and changing customer needs and tastes. We cannot assure you that the products and services of a target business with which we effect a business combination will gain market acceptance. Any significant delay or failure in developing new or enhanced technology, including new product and service offerings, could result in a loss of actual or potential market share and a decrease in revenues. If we are unable to protect our patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights following a business combination, competitors may be able to use our technology or intellectual property rights, which could weaken our competitive position. If we are successful in acquiring a target business and the target business is the owner of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property, our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property rights for those assets, both in the United States and in other countries. In those circumstances, we may file applications for patents, copyrights and trademarks as our management deems appropriate. We cannot assure you that these applications, if filed, will be approved, or that we will have the financial and other resources necessary to enforce our proprietary rights against infringement by others. Additionally, we cannot assure you that any patent, trademark or copyright obtained by us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. If we are alleged to have infringed on the intellectual property or other rights of third parties it could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights. If, following a business combination, third parties allege that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, privacy rights or publicity rights or have defamed them, we could become a party to litigation. These claims and any resulting lawsuits could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights and/or restrict our ability to publish and distribute the infringing or defaming content. 32 Table of Contents CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The statements contained in this prospectus that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about our: • ability to complete a combination with one or more target businesses; • success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following a business combination; • management team allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving a business combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements; • potential inability to obtain additional financing to complete a business combination; • limited pool of prospective target businesses; • potential change in control if we acquire one or more target businesses for stock; • public securities’ limited liquidity and trading; • failure to list or delisting of our securities from the American Stock Exchange or an inability to have our securities listed on the American Stock Exchange following a business combination; • use of proceeds not in trust or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; or • our financial performance following this offering. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws and/or if and when management knows or has a reasonable basis on which to conclude that previously disclosed projections are no longer reasonably attainable. 33 Table of Contents USE OF PROCEEDS We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering, in addition to the funds we will receive from the sale of the insider warrants (all of which will be deposited into the trust account), will be as set forth in the following table: Without Over-Allotment Option Over-Allotment Option Exercised Gross proceeds From offering From private placement of insider warrants Total gross proceeds Offering expenses Underwriting discount (7% of gross proceeds from offering, 4% of which is payable at closing and excluding 3% which is payable upon consummation of a business combination) Legal fees and expenses (including blue sky services and expenses) Printing and engraving expenses American Stock Exchange filing and listing fee Accounting fees and expenses SEC registration fee NASD filing fee Miscellaneous expenses Total offering expenses Net proceeds before payment of deferred underwriting fees Held in trust Not held in trust Total net proceeds Use of net proceeds not held in trust and amounts available from interest income earned on the trust account(2) Legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to the due diligence investigation, structuring and negotiation of a business combination Payment for office space and administrative and support services to Clarity Partners, L.P.

For purposes of presentation, the underwriting discounts are reflected as the amount payable to the underwriters upon consummation of this offering. An additional $2,400,000, or $2,760,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, all of which will be deposited in trust following the consummation of this offering, is payable to the underwriters only if and when we consummate a business combination. (2) The amount of net proceeds from this offering not held in trust will remain constant at $250,000 even if the over-allotment is exercised. In addition, there can be released to us from the trust account, interest earned on the funds in the trust account, net of taxes payable on such interest, (i) up to an aggregate of $1,700,000 to fund our expenses related to investigating and selecting a target business and our other 34 Table of Contents working capital requirements and (ii) to pay any amounts we may need to pay our income or other tax obligations. For purposes of presentation, the full amount available to us is shown as the total amount of net proceeds available to us immediately following this offering. In addition to the offering of units by this prospectus, certain of our initial stockholders have agreed to purchase warrants exercisable for 2,400,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. This purchase will take place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. We will not pay any discounts or commissions with respect to the purchase of the insider warrants. All of the proceeds we receive from this purchase will be placed in the trust account described below. $75,945,000, or $87,465,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, of the net proceeds of this offering, plus the $2,400,000 we will receive from the sale of the insider warrants, will be placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. This amount includes a portion of the underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriters in this offering. The underwriters have agreed that such amount will not be paid unless and until we consummate a business combination and have waived their right to receive such payment upon our liquidation if we are unable to complete a business combination. The funds held in trust will be invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, so that we are not deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Except with respect to interest income that may be released to us from time to time (i) of up to $1,700,000 to fund our expenses related to investigating and selecting a target business and our other working capital requirements and (ii) to pay our income or other tax obligations, the proceeds held in trust will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or our liquidation. The proceeds held in the trust account may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which we complete a business combination. Any amounts not paid as consideration to the sellers of the target business may be used to finance operations of the target business. We have agreed to pay Clarity Partners, L.P., or Clarity, a monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and administrative and support services. Barry A. Porter, one of our special advisors, is a co-founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity, and the grantor trust of Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial stockholders. This arrangement is being agreed to by Clarity for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Porter, any member of our management team, any other special advisor or any of our directors with compensation in lieu of a salary or other remuneration. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Beverly Hills, California area, that the fee charged by Clarity is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from any unaffiliated person. This arrangement will terminate upon completion of a business combination or the distribution of the trust account to our public stockholders. No compensation of any kind, including finder’s, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, officers or directors, or any of their affiliates, for any services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination, other than the monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and administrative and support services referred to above, a potential finder’s or success fee to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., an affiliate of Dr. Frost, our Chairman of the Board, to the extent we enter into an agreement with them in connection with our search for a target business, and repayment of non-interest bearing loans of $200,000 in the aggregate made by certain of our initial stockholders. However, such individuals will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. Our audit committee will review and approve all expense reimbursements made to members of our management team and any expense reimbursements payable to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval. There is no limit on the total amount of these out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, and there will be no review of the reasonableness 35 Table of Contents of the expenses other than by our audit committee and, in some cases, by our board of directors as described above, or if such reimbursement is challenged, by a court of competent jurisdiction. Reimbursement for such expenses will be paid by us out of the funds not held in trust. To the extent such out-of-pocket expenses exceed the available funds not held in trust and the interest income that may be released to us as described above, such out-of-pocket expenses will not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate a business combination. Since the role of present management after a business combination is uncertain, we have no ability to determine what remuneration, if any, will be paid to those persons after a business combination. Regardless of whether the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the net proceeds from this offering and the private placement available to us out of trust for our search for a business combination will be approximately $250,000. In addition, interest earned on the funds held in the trust account, net of taxes payable on such interest, of up to $1,700,000 may be released to us from time to time upon our request to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements. These funds will be used by us for director and officer liability insurance premiums, due diligence, legal, accounting and other expenses of structuring and negotiating business combinations, as well as for reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by our initial stockholders in connection with activities on our behalf as described above. We will also be entitled to have interest earned on the funds held in the trust account released to us to pay any tax obligations that we may owe. We believe that these funds will be sufficient to allow us to operate for the next 24 months, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. However, we cannot assure you that our estimates will be accurate. We may request the release of such funds for a number of purposes that may not ultimately lead to a business combination. For instance, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment with respect to a particular proposed business combination, or enter into a letter of intent where we pay for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, where we may be required to forfeit funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise). In any of these cases, or in other situations where we expend the funds available to us outside of the trust account for purposes that do not result in a business combination, we may not have sufficient remaining funds to continue searching for, or to conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business, in which case we would be forced to obtain alternative financing or liquidate. The net proceeds of this offering not held in the trust account and not immediately required for the purposes set forth above will be held as cash or cash equivalents or will be invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, so that we are not deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The income derived from investment of these net proceeds during this period will be used to defray our general and administrative expenses, as well as costs relating to compliance with securities laws and regulations, including associated professional fees, until a business combination is completed. The allocation of net proceeds not held in trust and amounts available from the interest income earned on the trust account represents our best estimate of the intended uses of these funds. We do not expect to use such amounts for anything other than the purposes stated above. However, management may be required to pay a different amount than the amount indicated in the table above for legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to the due diligence investigation, structuring and negotiation of a business combination, depending upon the level of complexity of such business combination. The difference, if any, will be allocated to, or deducted from, our working capital. We will likely use substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering, including the funds held in the trust account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the proceeds held in the trust account which are not used to consummate a business combination will be disbursed to the combined company and will, along with any other net proceeds not expended, be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business including for maintenance or expansion of operation of acquired businesses, 36 Table of Contents the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in consummating our initial business combination or to fund the purchase of other companies. To the extent we are unable to consummate a business combination, we will pay the costs of liquidation from our remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, our initial stockholders have agreed to advance us the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and has agreed not to seek repayment of such expenses. Frost Gamma Investments Trust, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao have agreed to loan a total of $200,000 to us for the payment of offering expenses. The loans bear no interest and are due on the earlier of June 12, 2008 or the consummation of this offering. The loans will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering available to us for payment of offering expenses. A public stockholder will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account, including interest earned on his, her or its portion of the trust account, only in the event of our liquidation or if that public stockholder converts such shares into cash in connection with a business combination which the public stockholder voted against and which we consummate. In no other circumstances will a public stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. 37 Table of Contents DILUTION The difference between the public offering price per share of common stock, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants included in the units we are offering by this prospectus and the insider warrants, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Such calculation does not reflect any dilution associated with the sale and exercise of warrants, including the insider warrants. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less total liabilities (including the value of common stock which may be converted into cash), by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. At June 15, 2007, our net tangible book value was a deficiency of $10,000, or approximately $(0.00) per share of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock included in the units we are offering by this prospectus, and the deduction of underwriting discounts and estimated expenses of this offering, and the sale of the insider warrants, our pro forma net tangible book value at June 15, 2007 would have been $52,711,508 or $5.55 per share, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $5.55 per share to the initial stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.45 per share or 30.6% to new investors not exercising their conversion rights. For purposes of presentation, our pro forma net tangible book value after this offering is approximately $23,500,000 less than it otherwise would have been because if we effect a business combination, the conversion rights to the public stockholders (but not our initial stockholders) may result in the conversion into cash of up to approximately 29.99% of the aggregate number of the shares sold in this offering at a per-share conversion price equal to the amount in the trust account (a portion of which is made up of $2,400,000 in deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination, inclusive of any interest, divided by the number of shares sold in this offering. The following table illustrates the dilution to the new investors on a per-share basis, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants included in the units and the insider warrants: Public offering price Net tangible book value before this offering Increase attributable to new investors and private sales Pro forma net tangible book value after this offering Dilution to new investors $ 8.00 $ (0.00 ) 5.55 5.55 $ 2.45 The following table sets forth information with respect to our initial stockholders and the new investors: Average Price Per Share Shares Purchased Number Percentage Total Consideration Amount Percentage Initial stockholders New investors 2,500,000 10,000,000 12,500,000 20.00 % 80.00 % 100.00 % $ $ $ 25,000 80,000,000 80,025,000 .03 % 99.97 % 100.00 % $ $ 0.01 8.00 38 Table of Contents The pro forma net tangible book value per share after the offering is calculated as follows: Numerator: Net tangible book value before this offering and the private placement Net proceeds from this offering and the sale of the insider warrants (net of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) Offering costs paid in advance and excluded from net tangible book value before this offering and the sale of the insider warrants Less: Proceeds held in trust subject to conversion to cash $ (10,000 ) 76,195,000 30,000 (23,503,492 ) $ Denominator: Shares of common stock outstanding prior to this offering Shares of common stock included in the units offered Less: Shares subject to conversion (10,000,000 x 29.99)% 52,711,508 2,500,000 10,000,000 (2,999,999 ) 9,500,001 (1) Does not include the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions ($0.24 per share) which may be distributed to public stockholders if they seek conversion of their shares upon consummation of a business combination. 39 Table of Contents CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth our capitalization at June 15, 2007 and as adjusted to give effect to the sale of our units and insider warrants, and the application of the estimated net proceeds derived from the sale of such securities: June 15, 2007 As Adjusted(1) Actual Notes payable(2) Total debt(3) Deferred underwriting discounts and omissions Common stock, $0.0001 par value, -0- and 2,999,999 shares which are subject to possible conversion, shares at conversion value Stockholders’ equity: Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, 1,000,000 shares authorized; none issued or outstanding Common stock, $0.0001 par value, 50,000,000 shares authorized; 2,500,000 shares issued and outstanding, actual; 12,500,000 shares issued and outstanding (including 2,999,999 shares subject to possible conversion), as adjusted Additional paid-in capital Deficit accumulated during the development stage Total stockholders’ equity (deficit) Total capitalization $ 200,000 $ 200,000 — $ — $ $ — — 2,400,000 23,503,492 $ — — 250 24,750 (5,000 ) $ 20,000 $ $ 1,250 52,715,258 (5,000 ) 52,711,508 78,615,000 $ 220,000 (1) Includes the $2,400,000 we will receive from the sale of the insider warrants. (2) The loans from Frost Gamma Investments Trust, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao are due at the earlier of June 12, 2008 or the consummation of this offering. The unpaid principal balance under these loans as of June 15, 2007 was $200,000. (3) Excludes deferred underwriting discounts and commissions equal to 3% of the gross proceeds, or $2,400,000 ($2,760,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), which will be deposited in the trust account and which the underwriters have agreed to defer until the consummation of our initial business combination. See the section entitled “Underwriting — Commissions and Discounts.” If we consummate a business combination, the conversion rights afforded to our public stockholders (but not our initial stockholders) may result in the conversion into cash of up to approximately 29.99% of the aggregate number of shares sold in this offering at a per share conversion price equal to the amount in the trust account, before payment of the $2,400,000 in deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and inclusive of any interest thereon (net of taxes payable), net of interest income (net of taxes payable) (i) of up to $1,700,000 accrued and reserved or released to us for working capital purposes or (ii) accrued and reserved or released to us to pay our income or other tax obligations, as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of a business combination, divided by the number of shares sold in this offering. 40 Table of Contents MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview We were formed on June 1, 2007 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business that we believe has significant growth potential. While our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular industry, we expect to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, which encompasses companies that create, distribute or service others that create or distribute content for various platforms, including online, mobile, television, cable, satellite, radio, print, film, video games and software. We do not have any specific business combination under current consideration, and neither we, nor any representative acting on our behalf, has had any contacts with any target businesses regarding a business combination. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of this offering, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock in a business combination: • may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders; • may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if we issue preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our common stock; • will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and • may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in: • default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations; • acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant 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; and • our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our entire activity since inception has been to prepare for our proposed fundraising through an offering of our equity securities. Our liquidity needs have been satisfied to date through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to the initial stockholders and loans of $200,000 in the aggregate from Frost Gamma Investments Trust, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao for the payment of offering expenses. The loans bear no interest and are due at the earlier of June 12, 2008 or the closing of this offering. The loans will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering available to us for payment of offering expenses. We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the units, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $605,000 and underwriting discounts of approximately $5,600,000, or $6,440,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, will be approximately $73,795,000, or approximately $84,955,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. However, the underwriters have agreed that $2,400,000 of the underwriting discounts and commissions, or $2,760,000 if the over-allotment 41 Table of Contents option is exercised in full, will not be payable unless and until we consummate a business combination. Accordingly, $75,945,000, or $87,465,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, of the net proceeds of this offering will be held in trust and the remaining $250,000 in either case will not be held in trust. An additional $2,400,000 will also be deposited into trust upon consummation of this offering from the sale of the insider warrants described below. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering and the private placement, including the funds held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business including for maintenance or expansion of operations of acquired businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in consummating our initial business combination or to fund the purchase of other companies. We believe that, upon consummation of this offering, the $250,000 in funds available to us outside of the trust account, together with up to $1,700,000 of interest earned on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, will be sufficient to allow us to operate for the next 24 months, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. However, we cannot assure you that our estimates will be accurate. We may request the release of such funds for a number of purposes that may not ultimately lead to a business combination. For instance, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment with respect to a particular proposed business combination, or enter into a letter of intent where we pay for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, where we may be required to forfeit funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise). In any of these cases, or in other situations where we expend the funds available to us outside of the trust account for purposes that do not result in a business combination, we may not have sufficient remaining funds to continue searching for, or to conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business, in which case we would be forced to obtain alternative financing or liquidate. Following this offering, we will be using these funds for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. We anticipate that we will incur approximately: • $800,000 of expenses for legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to the due diligence investigation, structuring and negotiating of a business combination; • $180,000 of expenses for office space and administrative and support services payable to Clarity Partners, L.P. ($7,500 per month for 2 years); • $200,000 of expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations; and • $770,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and general corporate purposes (including director and officer liability insurance premiums). The amount of available proceeds is based on management’s estimates of the costs needed to fund our operations for the next 24 months and consummate a business combination. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds following the offering through a private offering of debt or equity securities, if such funds are required to consummate a business combination that is presented to us, although we have not entered into any such arrangement and have no current intention of doing so. We are obligated, commencing on the date of this prospectus, to pay to Clarity a monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and administrative and support services. Barry A. Porter, one of our special advisors, is a co- 42 Table of Contents founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity, and the grantor trust of Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial stockholders. Certain of our initial stockholders have agreed to purchase warrants exercisable for 2,400,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. This purchase will take place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. 43 Table of Contents PROPOSED BUSINESS Overview We are a recently organized Delaware blank check company incorporated on June 1, 2007 in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business. While our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular industry, we expect to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, which encompasses companies that create, distribute or service others that create or distribute content for various platforms, including online, mobile, television, cable, satellite, radio, print, film, video games and software. Our management team, board of directors and special advisors, led by our Chairman of the Board, Dr. Phillip Frost, has extensive experience in identifying emerging technologies and building companies through acquisitions and organic growth. Notably, from 1987 to January 2006, Dr. Frost served as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of IVAX Corporation, which was sold to Teva Pharmaceuticals for $9.2 billion, including assumed debt. IVAX Corporation was a multinational company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of branded and generic pharmaceuticals and veterinary products. During Dr. Frost’s tenure, IVAX Corporation consummated in excess of 50 acquisitions and divestitures. Several of our executives, including Steven D. Rubin and Rao Uppaluri, have worked closely with Dr. Frost at IVAX and other subsequent ventures. Robert Fried, our President and Chief Executive Officer, certain members of our board of directors and our special advisors have extensive experience in the digital media sector as senior executives, business consultants and/or entrepreneurs, and we intend to leverage their experience by focusing our efforts on operating businesses in that sector. In particular, Mr. Fried has over 23 years of experience founding and operating traditional and new media companies, as well as producing numerous award-winning feature films. His experience in both the creative and business aspects of the entertainment industry provides us with exposure to a unique array of business opportunities. Our management team has an extensive network of relationships, including private equity funds, public and private companies, investment banks and influential artists and content creators from which to source acquisition opportunities. Certain members of our management team and board of directors have extensive merger and acquisition experience outside of the digital media sector that we believe will be helpful in consummating a successful transaction. Because of this diversity of industry experience, we may consummate a business combination with a company in a different sector. We believe, based solely on our management’s collective business experience, that there are numerous attractive acquisition opportunities in the digital media sector. However, neither we nor any of our agents have conducted any research with respect to identifying the number and characteristics of the potential acquisition candidates within these industries or the likelihood or probability of success of any proposed business combination. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to locate a target business in such industries or that we will be able to engage in a business combination with a target business on favorable terms. Digital Media Sector Trends The enterprises that create and distribute content and entertainment and their related service businesses are in the midst of a dramatic transformation, mostly due to technological innovation. Content owners are struggling to adapt to changing paradigms and disruptions to their traditional business models. Some of the key trends impacting the digital media sector are as follows: • Proliferation of broadband internet access. According to a report from Strategy Analytics, nearly half of all North American households had broadband Internet access in 2006, with broadband Internet penetration expected to reach 73% by 2010. In addition, IDC estimates that the average speed of downstream access for a broadband connection, the speed at which an end-user accesses media files, doubled from the third quarter of 2004 to the same quarter of 2006. The proliferation of broadband 44 Table of Contents Internet connections has provided an increasing number of users with the capability to access rich media content efficiently. • Increasing sophistication of Internet-connected devices. The proliferation of devices that are capable of connecting to the Internet, such as MP3 players, mobile phones and videogame consoles, has given users more control and flexibility over how and where they access and use media content from the Internet. For example, the increasing prevalence of music-enabled consumer electronic devices is driving the transition of music from offline to online to mobile phones. According to IDC, 3G, or third generation technology, mobile phones, which enable wireless broadband Internet access, should increase from 8% of overall mobile phone sales in 2005 to 44% in 2010. We believe that this trend will result in greater usage of rich multimedia, such as short-form video and music, as wireless service providers seek to differentiate their service offerings. • Explosion of user-generated content. Through technologies like Internet search, personal digital video recorders, video-on-demand and social media platforms, consumers are increasingly accustomed to immediate, on-demand access to media content, including videos, music and photos provided by media or content providers or by users themselves. The popularity of websites like YouTube and My Space are driving increased interest in watching user-created content online. As a result, consumers are spending more time online and downloading and uploading significantly larger files. As content becomes more personalized, we believe that users will consume content that is targeted towards their own tastes, thus moving beyond the mass market broadcasting methods of distributing video and film. • Importance of social networking. Social networking websites allow users to create their own personalized webpage, express their personality and interact with people with similar interests. Social networking sites are among the most popular destinations online, where users spend a significant amount of their time online. Social networking websites typically offer interactive entertainment, such as blogs, audio, video, messaging and discussion forums. These virtual communities offer advertisers the ability to tailor marketing to consumers more precisely. Beyond advertising, companies use social networking sites as a tool to promote their products through viral marketing. These sites offer a powerful way to attract users with good content that is tightly integrated with their brand. Furthermore, many social networking websites offer some form of role-play or game situation encompassing the social network, which brings new revenue sources, including merchandising, pay for usage components and immersive advertising, where brands are used on items inside the game. Finally, many companies use social networking tools, such as customer recommendations or ratings of products or services, to enable consumers to find products and services more easily on their websites. • “Long Tail” opportunities created by the Internet. The traditional retailers and distributors of entertainment content, such as movie theaters, music stores, book stores and DVD rental stores, are governed by their need to find large audiences in order to maximize the use of limited physical space. Therefore, these traditional channels focus on the marketing and distribution of “hits,” or the highest volume, most popular titles with mass market appeal. However, outside of the “hits,” there is a significant amount of high quality entertainment content that has the potential to generate meaningful revenues but does not meet the revenue thresholds set by the traditional distribution channels. These represent opportunities that exist in the “long tail,” which is a term used in statistics to describe the low-frequency population which gradually “tails off” following a high-frequency population. E-commerce companies without the constraints of physical space, such as eBay, Amazon, RealNetworks and Netflix, have used the Internet to exploit “long tail” opportunities by expanding the amount of content available to consumers at minimal incremental cost. Content libraries can be digitized, stored on the Internet and sold to niche markets, where consumers may be willing to pay higher prices for content that is harder to locate. The increased breadth of available content enables consumers to personalize their media content by “pulling” only the content that they desire, rather than having mass media “pushed” to them via traditional channels. • Evolution of Hollywood’s content distribution model. Hollywood’s traditional distribution system relies on sequential windows of exclusive viewing, designed to maximize revenue over the life cycle of 45 Table of Contents the film. The traditional migration of a film through the movie theaters, video/DVD, pay-per-view, premium cable channels, network and free cable channels and finally syndicated TV is being challenged. The length of these exclusivity windows is being reduced; for example, cable companies and studios are now making some films available on video on demand on the same day as the DVD release. • New forms of content. High speed internet access and more cost-effective storage capacity solutions are increasingly enabling consumers to view any film, television show or peer-to-peer clip in the comfort in their own home. In the near future, we believe that the traditional concept of a television show or film will be challenged. Entertainment will likely evolve into structured or unstructured forms of various lengths that viewers can enjoy on demand on the platform of their choice. • Impact of technology on content creation. New technology and equipment is streamlining the production of content, enabling studios to create content quicker and realize significant cost savings. Production processes that had not significantly changed in over 100 years are being transformed. New high definition video cameras are approaching the quality level of 35 millimeter cameras, which have been traditionally used in film production. Several recent major motion pictures, such as “Collateral” and “Star Wars” have been shot on video. The use of digital video instead of traditional film makes the editing, special effects, lab development, music, graphics, titles, storage, dailies and other processes cheaper and simpler. Digital projection at the movie theaters can potentially save the film industry hundreds of millions of dollars per year by eliminating the need to deliver film physically to the theaters. Special effects and animation processes are now mostly digitized and are continuously becoming more efficient. New software systems have streamlined the budgeting, scheduling, accounting and other elements of the production process. • Assault on intellectual property rights. The design, distribution, protection and consumption of all forms of digital content are continuing to experience an unprecedented amount of change. With the expansion of high-bandwidth Internet infrastructure and the shift to digital media, PC-based entertainment platforms, digital portable devices, networked devices, Internet downloads and the proliferation of peer-to-peer, or P2P, file sharing networks, content and copyright owners are vulnerable to unauthorized use of their content. Inexpensive, easy to use in-home copying devices, such as VCRs, CD and DVD recorders, and PC based hard drive recorders enable consumers to make unauthorized copies of video, audio and software content. Content owners lose billions of dollars every year to casual copying and professional or bootleg piracy and Internet/P2P piracy. For example, according to a study prepared by L.E.K. for the Motion Picture Association, the major U.S. motion picture studios lost $6.1 billion to piracy worldwide in 2005. As technological advances facilitate digital downloads and digital copying, motion picture studios, music labels, cable television program distributors and software games publishers have become more concerned with protecting their intellectual property. Our Competitive Strengths We believe that we have the following competitive strengths, which will help us consummate an attractive business combination opportunity. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to locate a target business or that we will succeed in consummating a business combination. • Extensive Track Record with Mergers and Acquisitions. Our management team, including our officers and directors, and our special advisors, have experience in all phases of acquisition and growth financing transactions in both the public and private markets. Notably, Dr. Frost founded IVAX Corporation, which was sold for $9.2 billion, including assumed debt, to Teva Pharmaceuticals in 2006. During Dr. Frost’s tenure, IVAX consummated in excess of 50 acquisitions and divestitures. Mr. Rubin and Dr. Uppaluri, along with Dr. Frost, were responsible for the due diligence, structuring, negotiating and closing of many of these acquisitions. In addition, Dr. Frost founded Key Pharmaceuticals, which was sold to Schering-Plough in 1986 for $600 million. 46 Table of Contents • Expertise in Identifying and Financing Emerging Technology Companies. Dr. Frost, Dr. Uppaluri and Mr. Rubin are members of The Frost Group, a private investment firm, which has made a number of investments in various development stage technology companies in the United States and abroad. These investments, which range from small minority investments to controlling majority stakes, span a wide range of cutting edge technology platforms in the areas of pharmaceuticals, diagnostic devices, medical devices, telecommunications, software for seismic data analysis, and new materials for computer chips. The Frost Group not only has expertise in identifying emerging technologies, but also has extensive experience in taking development stage companies public through a reverse merger with a public shell company. For example, in March 2007, The Frost Group formed Opko Corp. by merging Acuity Pharmaceuticals and Froptix Corporation into eXegenics, Inc., a public shell company. In December 2006, members of The Frost Group invested in and structured the acquisition of Protalix Ltd., an Israeli biotech company, through a reverse merger with a public shell company. • Unique Deal Sourcing Capabilities. Mr. Fried has over 23 years of experience founding and operating traditional and new media companies, as well as producing numerous award winning feature films. His experience in both the creative and business aspects of the entertainment industry provides exposure to a unique array of business opportunities and the ability to evaluate these opportunities critically. He has developed a wide network of relationships with executives and board members of digital media companies, as well as influential artists and content creators. We believe that Mr. Fried’s experience with all aspects of the entertainment industry makes him uniquely qualified to find attractive business combination opportunities in the digital media sector and to present those opportunities to us. • Management Operating Experience. Our management team has significant experience in founding, operating and building companies in a variety of industries. We believe that this experience provides us with a competitive advantage in evaluating businesses and acquisition opportunities. In addition, the members of our management team have served as senior officers and directors of acquiring and acquired private and public companies. This experience also assists us in evaluating whether acquisition targets have the resources necessary to operate as publicly traded companies. Effecting a Business Combination General We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any substantive commercial business for an indefinite period of time following this offering. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of this offering and the private placement of our insider warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of these in effecting a business combination. Although substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering are intended to be applied generally toward effecting a business combination as described in this prospectus, the proceeds are not otherwise being designated for any more specific purposes. Accordingly, investors in this offering are investing without first having an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one or more business combinations. If we engage in a business combination with a target business using our capital stock and/or debt financing as the consideration to fund the combination, proceeds from this offering and the private placement of the insider warrants will then be used to undertake additional acquisitions or to fund the operations of the target business on a post-combination basis. We may engage in a business combination with a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and state securities laws. In the alternative, we may seek to consummate a business combination with a company that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. While we may seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, we will probably have the ability, as a result of our limited resources, to effect only a single business combination. 47 Table of Contents We Have Not Identified a Target Business To date, we have not selected or approached any target business on which to concentrate our search for a business combination. None of our officers, directors, promoters and other affiliates has engaged in discussions on our behalf with representatives of other companies regarding the possibility of a potential merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with us, nor have we, nor any of our agents or affiliates, been approached by any candidates (or representatives of any candidates) with respect to a possible acquisition transaction with us. Additionally, we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, taken any measure, directly or indirectly, to identify or locate any suitable acquisition candidate, nor have we engaged or retained any agent or other representative to identify or locate such an acquisition candidate. We have also not conducted any research with respect to identifying the number and characteristics of the potential acquisition candidates. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to locate a target business or that we will be able to engage in a business combination with a target business on favorable terms. Prior to completion of a business combination, we will seek to have all vendors, prospective target businesses or other entities with whom we contract, which we refer to as potential contracted parties or a potential contracted party, execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind whatsoever in or to any funds held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders. Such a waiver will apply to any kind of right, title, interest or claim that a potential contracted party may have. In the event that a potential contracted party refuses to execute such a waiver, we will execute an agreement with that entity only if our management first determines that we would be unable to obtain, on a reasonable basis, substantially similar services or opportunities from another entity willing to execute such a waiver. Examples of instances where we may engage a third party that refused to execute a waiver would be the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or a situation in which management does not believe it would be able to find a provider of required services willing to provide the waiver. If a vendor or service provider or a prospective target business refuses to execute such a waiver, then Phillip Frost, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao will be personally liable to cover the potential claims made by such party, but only if, and to the extent that, the claims would otherwise reduce the trust account proceeds payable to our public stockholders in the event of a liquidation. Subject to the limitations that a target business have a fair market value of at least 80% of our net assets at the time of the acquisition, as described below in more detail, we will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. Although we expect to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, we have not established any specific attributes or criteria for prospective target businesses. Accordingly, there is no reliable basis for investors in this offering to currently evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business with which we may ultimately complete a business combination. To the extent we effect a business combination with a company that does not have a stable history of earnings and growth or an entity in a relatively early stage of its development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of that company. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors. Sources of Target Businesses We anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture capital funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds and other members of the financial community. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses they think we may be interested in on an unsolicited basis. Our officers and directors as well as their affiliates may also bring to our attention target business candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business 48 Table of Contents acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. Except as described below, in no event will any of our existing officers, directors or stockholders, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation from us or any third party, including the prospective target, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). There is no business affiliated with our officers or directors that is currently being considered as a potential target, but if we decide to enter into a business combination with a target business that is affiliated with any of our officers or directors, we would do so only if we obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view. Following a business combination, our management may receive a fee for prospective services they may render to the target business, subject to the approval of a majority of the disinterested members of our board. We expect that we may be contacted by unsolicited parties who become aware of our interest in prospective targets through press releases, word of mouth and media coverage, should these outlets develop. We may pay a finder’s fee to any unaffiliated party that provides information regarding prospective targets to us. Any such fee would be conditioned on our consummating a business combination with the identified target. We anticipate that such fees, if any, would be a percentage of the consideration associated with such business combination, with the percentage to be determined based on local market conditions at the time of such combination. After the consummation of this offering, in connection with our search for a target business, we may enter into an agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., an affiliate of Dr. Frost, that provides for the payment of a finder’s or success fee. Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination Dr. Frost, Dr. Uppaluri and Messrs. Fried and Rubin will supervise the process of evaluating prospective target businesses, and we expect that they will devote substantial time to the search for an acquisition candidate. They will be assisted by the rest of our management team, together with our outside attorneys, accountants and other representatives. Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with a target business with a fair market value of at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition, our management will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. Although we expect to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, we have not established any specific attributes or criteria for prospective target businesses. In evaluating a prospective target business, our management will consider, among other factors, the following: • financial condition and results of operation; • cash flow potential; • growth potential; • experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel; • capital requirements; • competitive position; • regulatory or technical barriers to entry; • stage of development of the products, processes or services; • security measures employed to protect technology, trademarks or trade secrets; • degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services; • proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes or services; 49 Table of Contents • regulatory environment of the industry; and • costs associated with effecting the business combination. These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objective. Management will consider these criteria as a whole. For example, one target with a balance sheet that is stronger than another target due to the existence of higher stockholder’s equity or other indicia of financial strength, may have a less established competitive position in its market. We cannot say in advance which criteria will be most important when evaluating two or more potential business combinations. In evaluating a prospective target business, we will conduct an extensive due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which is made available to us. This due diligence review will be conducted either by our management or by unaffiliated third parties we may engage, although we have no current intention to engage any such third parties. We are also required to have all prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account. If any prospective target business refused to execute such agreement, we would cease negotiations with such target business. The structure of a particular business combination may take the form of a merger, capital stock change, asset acquisition or other similar structure. Although we have no commitments as of the date of this offering to issue our securities, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock, a combination of common and preferred stock, or debt securities, to complete a business combination. We will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to us, the target business and its stockholders. The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a business combination. Fair Market Value of Target Business The target business that we acquire must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition, although we may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of our net assets. In order to consummate such an acquisition, we may issue a significant amount of our debt or equity securities to the sellers of such businesses and/or seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities. Since we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not entered into any such fund raising arrangement and have no current intention of doing so. The fair market value of the target will be determined by our board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential gross margins, the values of comparable businesses, earnings and cash flow, book value and, where appropriate, upon the advice of appraisers or other professional consultants. If our board is not able to independently determine that the target business has a sufficient fair market value, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criterion. Since any opinion, if obtained, would merely state that fair market value meets the 80% of net assets threshold, it is not anticipated that copies of such opinion would be distributed to our stockholders, although copies will be provided to stockholders who request it. We will not be required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value if our board of directors independently determines that the target business complies with the 80% threshold. To reduce potential conflicts of interest, we will not consummate a business combination with an entity which is affiliated with any member of our board of directors, management or initial stockholders unless we obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm 50 Table of Contents that the business combination is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view. In the event that we obtain such opinion, we will file it with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Lack of Business Diversification Our business combination must be with a target business or businesses that satisfy the minimum valuation standard at the time of such acquisition, as discussed above, although this process may entail the simultaneous acquisitions of several operating businesses at the same time. Therefore, at least initially, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations of entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may: • subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination; and • result in our dependency upon the performance of a single operating business or the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services. If we determine to simultaneously acquire several businesses and such businesses are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other acquisitions, which may make it more difficult for us, and delay our ability, to complete the business combination. With multiple acquisitions, we could also face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business. If we acquire less than 100% of one or more target businesses in our initial business combination, the aggregate fair market value of the portion or portions we acquire must equal at least 80% of our net assets (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable as described above) at the time of such initial business combination. In no instance will we acquire less than majority voting control of a target business. However, this restriction will not preclude a reverse merger or similar transaction where we will acquire the target business. Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target Business’ Management Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of the target business’ management will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that the future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of our officers and directors, if any, in the target business following a business combination cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that some of our key personnel, including Mr. Fried, will remain in a senior management or advisory position with us following a business combination, it is unlikely that they will devote their full time efforts to our affairs subsequent to a business combination. Moreover, they would only be able to remain with the company after the consummation of a business combination if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with the business combination. Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the business combination and could provide for them to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to the company after the consummation of the business combination. While the personal and financial interests of our key personnel may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business, their ability to remain with the company after the consummation of a business combination will not be the determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we will proceed with any potential business combination. Additionally, we cannot assure you that our officers and directors will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business. 51 Table of Contents Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that any such additional managers we do recruit will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management. Opportunity for Stockholder Approval of Business Combination Prior to the completion of a business combination, we will submit the transaction to our stockholders for approval, even if the nature of the acquisition is such as would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with any such transaction, we will also submit to our stockholders for approval a proposal to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to provide for our corporate life to continue perpetually following the consummation of such business combination. We will consummate a business combination only if stockholders vote both in favor of such business combination and our amendment to extend our corporate life. In connection with seeking stockholder approval of a business combination, we will furnish our stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which, among other matters, will include a description of the operations of the target business and audited historical financial statements of the business. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our initial stockholders have agreed to vote their respective initial shares in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders. This voting arrangement shall not apply to shares included in units purchased in this offering or purchased following this offering in the open market by any of our initial stockholders, officers and directors. Accordingly, they may vote these shares on a proposed business combination any way they choose. We will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders are voted in favor of the business combination and public stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in this offering do not both exercise their conversion rights and vote against the business combination. Conversion Rights At the time we seek stockholder approval of any business combination, we will offer each public stockholder the right to have such stockholder’s shares of common stock converted to cash if the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Our initial stockholders will not have such conversion rights with respect to any shares of common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly, whether included in or underlying their initial shares or purchased by them in this offering or in the aftermarket (nor will they seek appraisal rights with respect to such shares if appraisal rights would be available to them). The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the trust account (a portion of which is made up of $2,400,000 in deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), inclusive of any interest thereon and not previously released to us for working capital requirements, as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of a business combination divided by the number of shares of common stock sold in this offering. Without taking into account any interest earned on the trust account, the initial per-share conversion price would be approximately $7.83, or $0.17 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00. An eligible stockholder may request conversion at any time after the mailing to our stockholders of the proxy statement and prior to the vote taken with respect to a proposed business combination at a meeting held for that purpose, but the request will not be granted unless the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Any request for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date of the meeting. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to stockholders entitled to convert their shares who elect conversion will be distributed promptly after completion of a business combination. Public stockholders who convert their stock into their share of the trust account still have the right to exercise any warrants they received as part of the units. 52 Table of Contents We will not complete any business combination if public stockholders, owning 30% or more of the shares sold in this offering, both exercise their conversion rights and vote against the business combination. Accordingly, it is our understanding and intention in every case to structure and consummate a business combination in which public stockholders owning 29.99% of the shares sold in this offering may exercise their conversion rights and the business combination will still go forward. If the business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then public stockholders voting against such business combination will not be entitled to convert their shares of common stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account. Such public stockholders would only be entitled to convert their shares of common stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account in the event that such stockholders elect to vote against a subsequent business combination that is approved by stockholders and completed, or in connection with our dissolution and liquidation, discussed below. Public stockholders who convert their common stock into a pro rata share of the trust account will be paid promptly their conversion price following their exercise of conversion rights and will continue to have the right to exercise any warrants they own. The initial conversion price is approximately $7.83 per share. Since this amount is less than the $8.00 per unit price in this offering and may be lower than the market price of the common stock on the date of conversion, there may be a disincentive on the part of public stockholders to exercise their conversion rights, particularly for those stockholders who do not sell, or receive less than an aggregate of $0.17 of net sales proceeds for, the warrants included in the units, and persons who purchase common stock in the aftermarket at a price in excess of $7.83 per share. Because converting shareholders will receive their proportionate share of deferred underwriting compensation at the time of closing of our business combination, the non-converting stockholders will bear the financial effect of such payments to both the converting stockholders and the underwriters as a consequence of the reduction in our net assets resulting from such distribution. Liquidation if No Business Combination Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will continue in existence only until , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] . If we have not completed a business combination by such date, our corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating, pursuant to Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This has the same effect as if our board of directors and stockholders had formally voted to approve our dissolution pursuant to Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Accordingly, limiting our corporate existence to a specified date as permitted by Section 102(b)(5) of the Delaware General Corporation Law removes the necessity to comply with the formal procedures set forth in Section 275 (which would have required our stockholders to formally vote to approve our dissolution and liquidation). We view the provision terminating our corporate life by , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] as an obligation to our stockholders. This provision will be amended only in connection with, and upon consummation of, our initial business combination by such date. If we are unable to complete a business combination by , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] , we will distribute to all of our public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account including: • all accrued interest, net of income taxes payable on such interest and interest income (net of taxes payable on such interest) of up to an aggregate of $1,700,000 on the trust account balance that has been released to us prior to such distribution to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, including the costs of liquidation; and • all deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, as well as any of our remaining net assets (subject to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors as described below). 53 Table of Contents We anticipate notifying the trustee of the trust account to begin liquidating such assets promptly after such date and anticipate it will take no more than 10 business days to effectuate such distribution. Our initial stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to this offering. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless. We will pay the costs of liquidation from our remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, our initial stockholders have agreed to advance us the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and have agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses. If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of this offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account after payments to us for working capital and amounts paid or accrued for taxes, the initial per-share liquidation price would be $7.83, or $0.17 less than the per unit offering price of $8.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors (which could include vendors and service providers we have engaged to assist us in any way in connection with our search for a target business and that are owed money by us, as well as target businesses themselves) which could have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders. Phillip Frost, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao have agreed that they will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owned money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us, provided that such persons will not have any personal liability as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a valid and enforceable waiver. We have questioned such persons on their financial net worth and reviewed their financial information and believe that they will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that may arise. However, we cannot assure you that they will be able to satisfy those obligations, if they are required to do so. Accordingly, the actual per-share liquidation price could be less than $7.83, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to our public stockholders at least $7.83 per share. Our public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of the expiration of our corporate existence and our liquidation or if they seek to convert their respective shares into cash upon a business combination which the stockholder voted against and which is completed by us. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, as stated above, it is our intention to make liquidating distributions to our stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date. Because we will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law requires us to adopt a plan that will provide for our payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, we would be required to provide for any claims of creditors known to us at that time or those 54 Table of Contents that we believe could be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years prior to our distributing the funds in the trust account to our public stockholders. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors and service providers (such as accountants, lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) and potential target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in our underwriting agreement, we will seek to have all vendors, service providers and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind whatsoever they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account. Such a waiver will apply to any kind of right, title, interest or claim that a potential contracted party may have. As a result, we believe the claims that could be made against us will be limited, thereby lessening the likelihood that any claim would result in any liability extending to the trust. We therefore believe that any necessary provision for creditors will be reduced and should not have a significant impact on our ability to distribute the funds in the trust account to our public stockholders. If we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders in our dissolution could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders in our dissolution. Furthermore, because we intend to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to our public stockholders promptly after , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] , this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to our public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from our assets. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. Competition In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. As of June 22, 2007, there are approximately 55 blank check companies that have completed initial public offerings in the United States with more than approximately $5.7 billion in trust that are seeking to carry out a business plan similar to our business plan. Furthermore, as of June 22, 2007, there are approximately 32 additional blank check companies that are still in the registration process but have not completed initial public offerings, which will have approximately $2.9 billion in trust upon completion of the offerings, and there are likely to be more blank check companies filing registration statements for initial public offerings after the date of this prospectus and prior to our completion of a business combination. Additionally, we may be subject to competition from entities other than blank check companies having a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital firms, leveraged buyout firms and operating businesses looking to expand their operations through the acquisition of a target business. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there may be numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of this offering, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Further, the following may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses: • our obligation to seek stockholder approval of a business combination may delay or threaten the completion of a transaction; • our obligation to convert into cash shares of common stock held by our public stockholders to such holders that both vote against the business combination and exercise their conversion rights may reduce the resources available to us for a business combination; and 55 Table of Contents • our outstanding warrants, and the potential future dilution they represent. Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms. If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively. Facilities We maintain our principal executive offices at 100 North Crescent Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210. The cost for this space is included in the $7,500 per-month fee that Clarity will charge us for office space and administrative and support services commencing on the date of this prospectus pursuant to an agreement between us and Clarity. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Beverly Hills, California area, that the fee charged by Clarity is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from any unaffiliated person. We consider our current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to our executive officers, adequate for our current operations. Employees We have three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate, the course of negotiations with target businesses, and the due diligence preceding and accompanying a possible business combination. Accordingly, once management locates a suitable target business to acquire, they will spend more time investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business combination (and consequently spend more time on our affairs) than they would prior to locating a suitable target business. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. Legal Proceedings We are not involved in any litigation or administrative proceedings incidental to our business. Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements On or about the date on which the SEC declares effective the registration statement, we will register our units, common stock and warrants under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our annual reports will contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accountants. We will not acquire a target business if audited financial statements cannot be obtained for the target business. Additionally, we will provide stockholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials sent to stockholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, United States generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent that this requirement cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential acquisition candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material. 56 Table of Contents Comparison of this offering to those of blank check companies subject to Rule 419 The following table compares and contrasts the terms of our offering and the terms of an offering of blank check companies under Rule 419 promulgated by the SEC assuming that the gross proceeds, underwriting discounts and underwriting expenses for the Rule 419 offering are the same as this offering and that the underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment option. None of the terms of a Rule 419 offering will apply to this offering. Terms Under a Rule 419 Offering Terms of Our Offering Escrow of offering proceeds $75,945,000 of the net offering proceeds plus the $2,400,000 we will receive from the sale of the insider warrants will be deposited into a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. $66,960,000 of the offering proceeds would be required to be deposited into either an escrow account with an insured depository institution or in a separate bank account established by a broker- dealer in which the broker-dealer acts as trustee for persons having the beneficial interest in the account. Proceeds could be invested only in specified securities such as a money market fund meeting conditions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or in securities that are direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to principal or interest by, the United States. Investment of net proceeds The $75,945,000 of net offering proceeds plus the $2,400,000 we will receive from the sale of the insider warrants held in trust will only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a- 7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Interest on proceeds from trust account to be paid to stockholders is reduced by (i) any taxes paid or due on the interest generated and, only after such taxes have been paid or funds sufficient to pay such taxes have been set aside and (ii) up to $1,700,000 that can be used for working capital purposes, including the costs of our dissolution and liquidation in such an event. The initial target business that we acquire must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition. Receipt of interest on escrowed funds Interest on funds in escrow account would be held for the sole benefit of investors, unless and only after the funds held in escrow were released to us in connection with our consummation of a business combination. Limitation on Fair Value or Net Assets of Target Business We would be restricted from acquiring a target business unless the fair value of such business or net assets to be acquired represented at least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds. No trading of the units or the underlying common stock and warrants would be permitted until the completion of a business Trading of securities issued The units may commence trading on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. The common stock and warrants comprising the units will 57 Table of Contents Terms of Our Offering Terms Under a Rule 419 Offering begin to trade separately on the 90th day after the date of this prospectus unless Lazard Capital Markets LLC informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading (based upon its assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and small capitalization companies in general, and the trading pattern of, and demand for, our securities in particular), provided we have filed with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K, which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting our receipt of the proceeds of this offering, including any proceeds we receive from the exercise of the over-allotment option, if such option is exercised prior to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K. If the over-allotment option is exercised after our initial filing of a Form 8-K, we will file an amendment to the Form 8-K to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise of the over-allotment option. We will also include in this Form 8-K, an amendment thereto, or in a subsequent Form 8-K, information indicating if Lazard Capital Markets LLC has allowed separate trading of the common stock and warrants prior to the 90th day after the date of this prospectus. Exercise of the warrants The warrants cannot be exercised until the later of the completion of a business combination and one year from the date of this prospectus and, accordingly, will be exercised only after the trust account has been terminated and distributed. We will give our stockholders the opportunity to vote on the business combination. In connection with seeking stockholder approval, we will send each stockholder a proxy statement containing information required by the SEC. A stockholder following the procedures described in this prospectus is given the right to convert his or her shares into his or her pro rata share of the trust combination. During this period, the securities would be held in the escrow or trust account. The warrants could be exercised prior to the completion of a business combination, but securities received and cash paid in connection with the exercise would be deposited in the escrow or trust account. Election to remain an investor A prospectus containing information required by the SEC would be sent to each investor.

Clarity’s transactions have included growth investments, leveraged acquisitions and build-ups, joint ventures, and recapitalizations.

Before the formation of Clarity, Mr. Porter was a Managing Director of Pacific Capital Group from 1993 until 1997. While at Pacific Capital Group, Mr. Porter was a co-founder of Global Crossing, a telecommunications company, and he served in a variety of senior executive positions at Global Crossing from 1997 to 2000 and on that company’s Board of Directors.

Mr. Porter holds a J.D. and M.B.A from the University of California, Berkeley, and a B.S. in Finance and Political Science from the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania. The special advisors set forth above are not currently affiliated with members of management. While the special advisors have agreed to present to us for our consideration reasonable opportunities to acquire an operating business that they may become aware of, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary obligations, the standard of duty owed to us and our stockholders as our special advisors is substantially less than that of our directors and officers. The special advisors will not receive any compensation for their services. However, it is possible that such advisors could receive compensation or be offered employment by the combined company or other third parties following the consummation of a business combination. Each of our special advisors is one of our initial stockholders. We have agreed to pay a monthly fee of $7,500 to Clarity for office space and administrative and support services. Barry A. Porter is a co-founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity, and the grantor trust of Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial stockholders. This arrangement is being agreed to by Clarity for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Porter, any member of our management team, any other special advisor or any of our directors with compensation in lieu of a salary or other remuneration. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Beverly Hills, California area, that the fee charged by Clarity is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from any unaffiliated person. Number and Terms of Directors Unless we are subject to Section 2115(b) of the California Corporations Code, upon the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Steven D. Rubin and Shawn Gold, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Rao Uppaluri and Thomas Beier, will expire at the second annual meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Phillip Frost, Robert N. Fried and David H. Moskowitz, will expire at the third annual meeting. If we are subject to Section 2115(b), all of our directors will be selected at each annual meeting of stockholders and will hold office until the next annual meeting. These individuals will play a key role in identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating its acquisition. We believe that the skills and expertise of these individuals, their collective access to acquisition opportunities and ideas, their contacts, and their transaction expertise should enable them to successfully identify and effect an acquisition although we cannot assure you that they will, in fact, be able to do so. Director Independence Our board of directors has determined that Thomas E. Beier, Shawn Gold and David H. Moskowitz are “independent directors” as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of the American Stock Exchange. The American Stock Exchange requires that a majority of our board must be composed of independent directors. However, since we are listing on the American Stock Exchange in connection with our initial public offering, we are not required to meet this requirement until one year following our listing on the American Stock Exchange. We intend to appoint additional members to our Board of Directors in the future to meet the requirement that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent 63 Table of Contents within one year of our listing on the American Stock Exchange. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. Any affiliated transactions will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent parties. Any affiliated transactions must be approved by a majority of our independent and disinterested directors. Audit Committee Effective upon consummation of this offering, we will establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of Thomas E. Beier, David H. Moskowitz and Steven D. Rubin. Under the American Stock Exchange listing standards and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are required to have an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom must be independent. However, since we are listing on the American Stock Exchange in connection with our initial public offering, we are permitted to have one independent member at the time of listing, a majority of independent members within 90 days of listing and all independent members within one year. Currently, two members of the audit committee, Messrs. Beier and Moskowitz, are independent. We intend to replace Mr. Rubin with an independent member within one year of our listing on the American Stock Exchange. The audit committee’s responsibilities will include: • reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K; • discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements; • discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies; • monitoring the independence of the independent auditor; • verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law; • reviewing and approving all related-party transactions; • inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations; • pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed; • appointing or replacing the independent auditor; • determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and • establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies. Financial Experts on Audit Committee Each member of the audit committee is financially sophisticated, as required by the American Stock Exchange listing standards. In addition, the board of directors has determined that Mr. Beier qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 64 Table of Contents Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Effective upon consummation of this offering, we will establish a nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors, which will consist of Shawn Gold, David H. Moskowitz and Steven D. Rubin. Under the American Stock Exchange listing standards, each member of the nominating and corporate governance committee must be independent, with limited exceptions. However, since we are listing on the American Stock Exchange in connection with our initial public offering, we are permitted to have one independent member at the time of listing, a majority of independent members within 90 days of listing and all independent members within one year. Currently, two members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, Messrs. Gold and Moskowitz, are independent. We intend to replace Mr. Rubin with an independent member within one year of our listing on the American Stock Exchange. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others. Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management, leadership experience, background, integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons. Code of Conduct and Ethics Effective upon consummation of this offering, we will adopt a code of conduct and ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of conduct and ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. Executive Compensation No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation of any kind, including finder’s, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, officers or directors, or any of their affiliates, for any services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination, other than the monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and administrative and support services payable to Clarity, a potential finder’s or success fee to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., an affiliate of Dr. Frost, to the extent we enter into an agreement with them in connection with our search for a target business, and repayment of non-interest bearing loans of $200,000 in the aggregate made by certain of our initial stockholders. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review and approve all expense reimbursements made to members of our management team and any expense reimbursements payable to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval. There is no limit on the total amount of these out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, provided that members of our management team will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount held outside of the trust account (initially, approximately $250,000) and interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, of up to $1,700,000 that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, unless a business combination is consummated. There will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses other than by our audit committee and, in some cases, by our board of directors as described above, or if such reimbursement is challenged, by a court of competent jurisdiction. 65 Table of Contents Conflicts of Interest Potential investors should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest: • None of our officers and directors is required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities. • In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to our company as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. • Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by our company. • The initial shares owned by our initial stockholders, some of whom are our officers and directors, will be released from escrow only if a business combination is successfully completed, and our officers and directors may own warrants, including the insider warrants, which will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated. Additionally, our initial stockholders will not receive liquidation distributions with respect to any of their initial shares. Furthermore, the purchasers of the insider warrants have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, that such securities will not be sold or transferred by it until 90 days after we have completed a business combination. Moreover, our officers and directors may enter into consulting or employment agreements with our company as part of a business combination pursuant to which they may be entitled to compensation for their services to be rendered to the company after the consummation of a business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business, timely completing a business combination and securing the release of their stock from escrow. • The ability of the holders of our insider warrants to exercise the insider warrants on a cashless basis if we call such warrants for redemption may cause a conflict of interest in determining when to call the warrants for redemption as they would potentially be able to avoid any negative price pressure on the price of the warrants and common stock due to the redemption through a cashless exercise. • Our directors and officers may purchase shares of common stock as part of this offering or in the open market. If they did, they would be entitled to vote such shares as they choose on a proposal to approve a business combination. In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if: • the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity; • the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and • it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of our officers and directors has agreed, until the earliest of a business combination, our liquidation or such time as he or she ceases to be an officer or a director, to present to us for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any business opportunity which may reasonably be required to be presented to us under Delaware law, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations he might have. 66 Table of Contents To the extent one of our officers or directors has or were to develop a conflict of interest in determining to which entity to present a potential business opportunity, he must make prompt, full and complete disclosure of the relevant facts both to us and to the other entity, and must recuse himself from voting on the matter. In any such case, we will appoint a special committee of disinterested directors to evaluate and vote upon the business combination. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our initial stockholders, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock which were owned prior to this offering in accordance with the vote of the public stockholders owning a majority of the shares of our common stock sold in this offering. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their initial shares. Any common stock acquired by initial stockholders in the offering or aftermarket will be considered part of the holdings of the public stockholders. Except with respect to the conversion rights afforded to public stockholders, these initial stockholders will have the same rights as other public stockholders with respect to such shares, including voting rights in connection with a potential business combination. Accordingly, they may vote such shares on a proposed business combination any way they choose. In the event we consider a target business affiliated with a member of our board of directors, we would establish a special committee consisting of disinterested members of our board of directors to oversee the negotiations with such affiliated entity and evaluate and vote upon the business combination. To further minimize potential conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity which is affiliated with any of our initial stockholders unless we obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view. We currently do not anticipate entering into a business combination with an entity affiliated with our management team or our initial stockholders. Except as described below, in no event will any of our existing officers, directors, stockholders or advisors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. After the consummation of this offering, in connection with our search for a target business, we may enter into an agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., an affiliate of Dr. Frost, that provides for the payment of a finder’s or success fee. 67 Table of Contents PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 27, 2007 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of our common stock included in the units offered by this prospectus (assuming none of the individuals or entities listed below purchase units offered by this prospectus), by: • each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock; • each of our officers and directors; and • all our officers and directors as a group.

Immediately after this offering, our initial stockholders will own an aggregate of 20% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. None of our initial stockholders has indicated to us any intent to purchase our securities in the offering. Because of the ownership block held by our initial stockholders, such 68 Table of Contents individuals may be able to effectively exercise control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions other than approval of a business combination. Certain of our initial stockholders have agreed to purchase 2,400,000 warrants, each exercisable for one shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. This purchase will take place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. The insider warrants will be identical to warrants underlying the units being offered by this prospectus except that if we call the warrants for redemption, the insider warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are still held by the purchasers or their affiliates. The insider warrants were priced in relation to prices paid by insider purchasers of other similar blank check companies for comparable warrants of such other blank check companies offered on similar terms. On the date of this prospectus, all of our initial stockholders will place their initial shares and any insider warrants purchased by them into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Except as described below, the initial shares and the insider warrants will not be transferable during the applicable escrow period. The initial shares will not be released from escrow until one year after the consummation of a business combination, or earlier if, following a business combination, we engage in a subsequent transaction resulting in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or if we liquidate and dissolve. The insider warrants will not be released from escrow until 90 days after the completion of our business combination. Our initial stockholders are permitted, subject to applicable securities laws, to transfer all or a portion of the initial shares and insider warrants held by them to members of our management team, our employees and other persons or entities affiliated with members of our management team and employees. In addition, our initial stockholders may transfer initial shares and insider warrants held by them in certain other limited circumstances, such as to immediate family members and to trusts for estate planning purposes, and any entity holding initial shares or insider warrants may transfer such securities to persons or entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such entity, or to any stockholder, member, partner or limited partner of such entity. Transferees receiving initial shares or insider warrants must agree to be subject to the transfer restrictions described above. During the escrow period applicable to the initial shares, our initial stockholders will retain their rights as our stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If we are unable to effect a business combination and liquidate, none of our initial stockholders will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to their initial shares. 69 Table of Contents TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS On June 12, 2007, in connection with the formation of our company, we issued 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to our officers, directors and special advisors, or entities affiliated with our officers, directors and special advisors, for $25,000, at a purchase price of $0.01 per share. Certain of our initial stockholders have agreed to purchase warrants exercisable for 2,400,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. There are no third party beneficiaries to this agreement. This purchase will take place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. The purchase price for the insider warrants will be delivered to the trust account at least 24 hours prior to the date of this prospectus. The insider warrants will be identical to the warrants underlying the units being offered by this prospectus except that if we call the warrants for redemption, the insider warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as such warrants are held by the purchasers or their affiliates. Such initial stockholders have agreed that the insider warrants will not be sold or transferred by it until 90 days after we have completed a business combination, provided however that transfers can be made to certain permitted transferees who agree in writing to be bound by such transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the insider warrants will be placed in escrow and will not be released until 90 days after the completion of a business combination. Lazard Capital Markets LLC has no intention of waiving these restrictions. The holders of the initial shares issued and outstanding on the date of this prospectus, as well as the holders of the insider warrants (and underlying securities), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. The holders of the majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. As the initial shares will be released from escrow one year after the consummation of a business combination, our initial stockholders will be able to make a demand for registration of the resale of their initial shares at any time commencing nine months after the consummation of a business combination. The holders of a majority of the insider warrants (or underlying securities) will be able to elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. We have agreed to pay Clarity a monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and administrative and support services. Barry A. Porter, one of our special advisors, is a co-founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity, and the grantor trust of Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial stockholders. This arrangement is being agreed to by Clarity for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Porter, any member of our management team, any other special advisor or any of our directors with compensation in lieu of a salary or other remuneration. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Beverly Hills, California area, that the fee charged by Clarity is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from any unaffiliated person. Frost Gamma Investments Trust, Robert N. Fried, Rao Uppaluri, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao have agreed to loan a total of $200,000 to us for the payment of offering expenses. The loans bear no interest and are due on the earlier of June 12, 2008 or the consummation of this offering. The loans will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering available to us for payment of offering expenses. We will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. Our audit committee will review and approve all expense reimbursements made to members of our management team and any expense reimbursements payable to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval. There is no limit on the total amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, provided that members of our management team will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount held outside of the trust account (initially, approximately $250,000) and interest income on the trust account balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, of up to $1,700,000 that may be released to us to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, 70 Table of Contents unless a business combination is consummated. Additionally, there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses other than by our audit committee and, in some cases, by our board of directors as described above, or if such reimbursement is challenged, by a court of competent jurisdiction. No compensation of any kind, including finder’s, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, officers or directors, or any of their affiliates, for any services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination, other than the monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and administrative and support services referred to above, a potential finder’s or success fee to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., an affiliate of Dr. Frost, to the extent we enter into an agreement with them in connection with our search for a target business, and repayment of non-interest bearing loans of $200,000 in the aggregate made by certain of our initial stockholders. All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by our officers and directors, will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions or loans, including any forgiveness of loans, will require prior approval by a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. 71 Table of Contents DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES General As of the consummation of this offering, we will be authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, 2,500,000 shares of common stock are outstanding, held by 11 stockholders of record. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. Units Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock. The common stock and warrants will begin to trade separately on the 90th day after the date of this prospectus unless Lazard Capital Markets LLC informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading (based upon its assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and small capitalization companies in general and the trading pattern of, and demand for, our securities in particular), provided that in no event may the common stock and warrants be traded separately until we have filed with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting our receipt of the gross proceeds of this offering. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K which includes this audited balance sheet promptly upon the consummation of this offering. The audited balance sheet will reflect proceeds we receive from the exercise of the over-allotment option, if the over-allotment option is exercised prior to the filing of the Form 8-K. If the over-allotment option is exercised after our initial filing of a Form 8-K, we will file an amendment to the Form 8-K to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise of the over-allotment option. We will also include in this Form 8-K, an amendment thereto, or in a subsequent Form 8-K information indicating if Lazard Capital Markets LLC has allowed separate trading of the common stock and warrants prior to the 90th day after the date of this prospectus. Common Stock Our stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our initial stockholders, including all of our officers and directors who own any of our initial shares, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to this offering in accordance with the majority of the shares of our common stock voted by our public stockholders. This voting arrangement shall not apply to shares included in units purchased in this offering or purchased following this offering in the open market by any of our initial stockholders, officers and directors. Additionally, our initial stockholders, officers and directors will vote all of their shares in any manner they determine, in their sole discretion, with respect to any other items that come before a vote of our stockholders. We will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders are voted in favor of the business combination and public stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in this offering both exercise their conversion rights discussed below and vote against the business combination. Unless we are subject to Section 2115(b) of the California Corporations Code, upon the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares eligible to vote for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. As required by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if we do not consummate a business combination by , 2009 [twenty four months from the date of this prospectus] , our corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating. If we are forced to liquidate prior to a business combination, our public stockholders are entitled to share ratably in the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, before payment of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their pro rata portion of the trust account, net of taxes 72 Table of Contents payable on such interest, and net of interest income (net of taxes payable on such interest) of up to $1,700,000 of the interest income on the trust account balance released to us as described above to fund our working capital requirements and pay any of our tax obligations, and any net assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities. Our initial stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their initial shares. Our stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except that public stockholders have the right to have their shares of common stock converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of the trust account if they vote against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Public stockholders who convert their stock into their share of the trust account still have the right to exercise the warrants that they received as part of the units. Preferred Stock As of the consummation of this offering, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. No shares of preferred stock are being issued or registered in this offering. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. However, the underwriting agreement prohibits us, prior to a business combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account, or which votes as a class with the common stock on a business combination. We may issue some or all of the preferred stock to effect a business combination. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future. Warrants No warrants are currently outstanding. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of: • the completion of a business combination; and • one year from the date of this prospectus. The warrants will expire four years from the date of this prospectus at 5:00 p.m., New York City time. We may call the warrants for redemption (including the insider warrants and any warrants issued upon exercise the unit purchase option issued to the Representatives), • in whole and not in part, • at a price of $.01 per warrant at any time while the warrants are exercisable (which will occur only if a registration statement relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and current), • upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and • if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders. The right to exercise will be forfeited unless they are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant. 73 Table of Contents The redemption criteria for our warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient degree of liquidity to cushion the market reaction to our redemption call. If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, we have agreed to allow the purchasers of the insider warrants, and their affiliates, to exercise the insider warrants on a “cashless basis.” If the holders take advantage of this option, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their insider warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the insider warrants, multiplied by the difference between the “fair market value” (defined below) and the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants. The reason that we have agreed that the insider warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the purchasers or their affiliates is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following a business combination. If they are, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. If they remain insiders, we will have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the shares of common stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate. The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices. The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. No warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so and, if we do not maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and we will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, we will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless. If the warrants expire 74 Table of Contents worthless, this would mean that a person who paid $8.00 for a unit in our initial public and who did not sell the warrants included in the unit would have effectively paid $8.00 for one ordinary share. Because the warrants will not be exercisable without an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants, we will not call the warrants for redemption unless there is an effective registration statement in place. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder. The insider warrants to be purchased by certain of our initial stockholders will be identical to the warrants underlying the units being offered by this prospectus except that if we call the warrants for redemption, the insider warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are still held by the purchaser or their affiliates. The insider warrants will be purchased separately and not in combination with the common stock or in the form of units. Such initial stockholders have agreed that the insider warrants will not be sold or transferred by it until 90 days after we have completed a business combination, provided however that transfers can be made to certain permitted transferees who agree in writing to be bound by such transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the insider warrants will be placed in escrow and will not be released until 90 days after the completion of a business combination. The purchase price for the insider warrants will be added to the proceeds from this offering to be held in the trust account pending our completion of one or more business combinations. If we do not complete one of more business combinations that meet the criteria described in this prospectus, then the $2,400,000 purchase price of the insider warrants will become part of the liquidating distribution to our public stockholders and the insider warrants will expire worthless. Purchase Option We have agreed to sell to the representative of the underwriters an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 units at $10.00 per unit. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered by this prospectus, except that each of the warrants underlying such units entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $7.00. Dividends We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our then board of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. Applicability of Provisions of California Corporate Law Although we are incorporated in Delaware, we may be subject to Section 2115(b) of the California Corporations Code, which imposes various requirements of California corporate law on non-California corporations if such corporations have characteristics of ownership and operations indicating significant contacts with the State of California. Public companies listed or qualified for trading on a recognized national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, are generally exempt from Section 2115(b). Although we intend to apply to have our units listed on the American Stock Exchange, we cannot assure you that our securities will be listed or will continue to be listed on the American Stock Exchange. Among the key provisions of California corporate law that may apply to us is the right of our stockholders to cumulate votes in the election of directors, limitations on the effectiveness of super-majority voting provisions contained in a corporation’s charter documents and limitations on a corporation’s ability to have a “staggered” board of directors. 75 Table of Contents In May 2005, the Delaware Supreme Court in Vantage Point Venture Partners 1996 v. Examen, Inc. held that Section 2115(b) violates the Delaware internal affairs doctrine, which provides that only the State of Delaware has the authority to regulate a Delaware corporation’s internal affairs, and thus Section 2115(b) does not apply to Delaware corporations. If followed by California courts, this ruling would mean that the cumulative voting requirements and other sections of the California Corporations Code do not apply to us. However, until we fully understand the impact the of the Delaware Supreme Court’s decision, we will permit cumulative voting in the election of directors if any stockholder properly requests to cumulate his or her votes. In such a case, the stockholder will be entitled to as many votes as equals the number of shares of common stock held by such stockholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and the stockholder will be permitted to cast all of such votes for a single nominee or to distribute these votes among two or more nominees. In addition, certain provisions of California law limit the effectiveness of super-majority voting provisions to a period of two years from the filing of the most recent charter amendment or certificate of determination that adopted or readopted the super-majority voting provision, and these provisions may also apply to us as a result of Section 2115(b). Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent The transfer agent for our securities and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004. American Stock Exchange Listing There is presently no public market for our units, common stock or warrants. We anticipate that the units will be listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “IDI.U” on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, we anticipate that the common stock and warrants will be listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols “IDI” and “IDI.WS,” respectively. Certain Anti-takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Upon the closing of this offering, we will be governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally has an anti-takeover effect for transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors. This may discourage takeover attempts that might result in payment of a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination,” under Section 203, includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions: • before the stockholder became interested, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or • upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances; or 76 Table of Contents • at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. Staggered Board of Directors Unless we are subject to Section 2115(b) of the California Corporations Code, upon the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings. Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders will not be able to take any action by written consent subsequent to the consummation of this offering, but will only be able to take action at duly called annual or special meetings of stockholders. Our bylaws further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may only be called by our board of directors with a majority vote of our board of directors, by our Chairman or Chief Executive Officer and will be called by our President or Secretary upon the written request of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be delivered to our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. For the first annual meeting of stockholders after the closing of this offering, a stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to our principal executive offices not later than the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of our annual meeting of stockholders is first made or sent by us. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Authorized but Unissued Shares Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. Removal of Directors Our bylaws provide that a director on our board of directors may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of our directors. Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law as it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with their service for or on our behalf. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not 77 Table of Contents be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors. Our bylaws also will permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We will purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures members of our management team against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify the directors and officers. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Shares Eligible for Future Sale Immediately after this offering, we will have 12,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding, or 14,000,000, shares if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. Of these shares, the 10,000,000 shares sold in this offering, or 11,500,000 shares if the over-allotment option is exercised, will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of the remaining shares are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering. However, as described below, the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that these securities would not be eligible for transfer under Rule 144. Furthermore, all of the 2,500,000 shares of common stock included in the initial shares will be placed in escrow. Such shares will not be transferable for a period of one year following our consummation of a business combination and will be released prior to that date only upon a subsequent transaction resulting in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities, provided however that transfers can be made to certain permitted transferees who agree in writing to be bound by such transfer restrictions. Additionally, the purchasers of the insider warrants have agreed that the insider warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until 90 days after we have completed a business combination, provided however that transfers can be made to certain permitted transferees who agree in writing to be bound by such transfer restrictions. Such insider warrants will be placed in escrow and will not be released until 90 days after we have completed a business combination. Rule 144 In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of either of the following: • 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal 125,000 shares immediately after this offering (or 140,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full); and • the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. 78 Table of Contents Sales under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. Rule 144(k) Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not our affiliate at the time of a sale and has not been our affiliate during the preceding three months, and who has beneficially owned the restricted shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell all of such shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. SEC Position on Rule 144 Sales The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a business combination act as “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company acquired prior to the consummation of its initial public offering. Accordingly, the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that those securities can be resold only through a registered offering and that Rule 144 would not be available for those resale transactions despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. Registration Rights The holders of the initial shares issued and outstanding on the date of this prospectus, as well as the holders of the insider warrants (and underlying securities), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. The holders of the majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. As the initial shares will be released from escrow one year after the consummation of a business combination, our initial stockholders will be able to make a demand for registration of the resale of their initial shares at any time commencing nine months after the consummation of a business combination. The holders of a majority of the insider warrants (or underlying securities) will be able to elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. 79 Table of Contents UNDERWRITING In accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to each of the underwriters named below, and each of the underwriters, for which Lazard Capital Markets LLC is acting as representative, have individually agreed to purchase on a firm commitment basis the number of units set forth opposite their respective name below: Underwriters Number of Units Lazard Capital Markets LLC EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. Total Lazard Frères & Co. LLC referred this transaction to Lazard Capital Markets LLC and will receive a referral fee from Lazard Capital Markets LLC in connection therewith. A copy of the underwriting agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Pricing of Securities We have been advised by the representative that the underwriters propose to offer the units to the public at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. They may allow some dealers concessions not in excess of $ per unit and the dealers may reallow a concession not in excess of $ per unit to other dealers. Prior to this offering there has been no public market for any of our securities. The public offering price of the units and the terms of the warrants were negotiated between us and the representative. Factors considered in determining the prices and terms of the units, including the common stock and warrants underlying the units, include: • the history and prospects of companies whose principal business is the acquisition of other companies; • prior offerings of those companies; • our prospects for acquiring an operating business at attractive values; • our capital structure; • an assessment of our management and their experience in identifying operating companies; • general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering; and • other factors as were deemed relevant. However, although these factors were considered, the determination of our offering price is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities for an operating company in a particular industry since we have no operating results and are not limited to operate in any specific industry. Over-Allotment Option We have granted to the representative of the underwriters an option, exercisable during the 45-day period commencing on the date of this prospectus, to purchase from us at the offering price, less underwriting discounts, up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 additional units for the sole purpose of covering over-allotments, if any. The over-allotment option will only be used to cover the net syndicate short position resulting from the initial distribution. The representative of the underwriters may exercise the over-allotment option if it sells more units than the total number set forth above. 80 Table of Contents Commissions and Discounts The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount to be paid by us to the underwriters and the proceeds, before expenses, to us. This information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the representative of the underwriters of its over-allotment option. Per Unit Without Option With Option Public offering price Underwriting discount(1) Proceeds before expenses(2) $ 8.00 $ 0.56 $ 7.44 $ $ $ 80,000,000 5,600,000 74,400,000 $ $ $ 92,000,000 6,440,000 85,560,000 (1) $2,400,000 of the underwriting discounts, or $2,760,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, will not be payable unless and until we complete a business combination. The underwriters have waived their right to receive such payment upon our liquidation if we are unable to complete a business combination. (2) The offering expenses are estimated at $605,000. No discounts or commissions will be paid on the sale of the insider warrants. Purchase Option We have agreed to sell to the representative, for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 units. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered by this prospectus, except that each of the warrants underlying such units entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $7.00. This option is exercisable at $10.00 per unit, and may be exercised on a cashless basis, commencing on the later of the consummation of a business combination and one year from the date of this prospectus and expiring five years from the date of this prospectus. We estimate that the fair value of this option is approximately $1.8 million ($3.60 per Unit underlying such option) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the option granted to the representative is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 56.3%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 5.02% and (3) expected life of five years. The option, the 500,000 units underlying the option, the 500,000 shares of common stock and the 500,000 warrants underlying such units, and the 500,000 shares of common stock underlying such warrants, have been deemed compensation by the NASD and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 2710(g)(1) of the NASD Conduct Rules. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the date of this prospectus except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. Although the purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the option grants to holders demand and “piggy-back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the date of this prospectus with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. We will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the purchase option or the warrants underlying the purchase option. The holder of the purchase option will not be entitled to exercise the purchase option or the warrants underlying the purchase option unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the purchase option is effective or an exemption from registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the purchase option or underlying warrants, the purchase option or warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. 81 Table of Contents Regulatory Restrictions on Purchase of Securities Rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriter to bid for or purchase our units before the distribution of the units is completed. The distribution of the units in this offering will be completed once all the units have been sold, all stabilizing transactions have been completed and all penalty bids have either been reclaimed or withdrawn. However, the underwriters may engage in the following activities in accordance with the rules: • Stabilizing Transactions. The underwriters may make bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the price of our units, as long as stabilizing bids do not exceed the offering price of $8.00. • Over-Allotments and Syndicate Coverage Transactions. The underwriters may create a short position in our units by selling more of our units than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. If the underwriters create a short position during the offering, the underwriters may engage in syndicate covering transactions by purchasing our units in the open market. The representative may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option. • Penalty Bids. The representative may reclaim a selling concession from a selected dealer when the units originally sold by the selected dealer is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover short positions. Stabilization and covering transactions may cause the price of our securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of these transactions. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the prices of our securities if it discourages resales of our securities. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. These transactions may occur on the American Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or on any trading market. If any of these transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice at any time. Other Terms Although we are not under any contractual obligation to engage any of the underwriters to provide any services for us after this offering, and have no present intent to do so, any of the underwriters may, among other things, introduce us to potential target businesses or assist us in raising additional capital, as needs may arise in the future. If any of the underwriters provide services to us after this offering, we may pay such underwriter fair and reasonable fees that would be determined at that time in an arm’s length negotiation; provided that no agreement will be entered into with any of the underwriters and no fees for such services will be paid to any of the underwriters prior to the date which is 90 days after the date of this prospectus, unless the National Association of Securities Dealers determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with this offering. Indemnification We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against some liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in this respect. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the securities offered in this prospectus is being passed upon for us by Akerman Senterfitt, Miami, Florida. Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovesky & Popeo, P.C., New York, New York, is acting as counsel for the underwriter in this offering. 82 Table of Contents EXPERTS The financial statements included in this prospectus and in the registration statement have been audited by Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C., independent registered public accounting firm, as of June 15, 2007 and for the period from June 1, 2007 (date of inception) through June 15, 2007 as set forth in their report appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and in the registration statement.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ideation Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) as of June 15, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from June 1, 2007 (Inception) to June 15, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ideation Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) as of June 15, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period June 1, 2007 (Inception) to June 15, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C.

(a corporation in the development stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Business Operations Ideation Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 1, 2007. The Company was formed to acquire through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination a currently unidentified operating business or businesses. The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises,” and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. At June 15, 2007, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 15, 2007 relates to the Company’s formation and the proposed public offering described below. Following such offering, the Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after such offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of a Proposed Offering of Units (as defined in Note 3) (“Proposed Offering”), although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Proposed Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business (“Business Combination”). As used herein, “Target Business” shall mean one or more businesses that at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination has a fair market value of at least 80% of the Company’s net assets (all of the Company’s assets, including the funds then held in the trust account, less the Company’s liabilities (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $2.4 million, or approximately $2.8 million if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, described below)). Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company’s efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business will not be limited to particular companies; however it expects to focus on operating businesses in the digital media sector, which encompasses companies that create, distribute or service others that create or distribute content for various platforms, including online, mobile, television, cable, satellite, radio, print, film, video games and software. Upon closing of the Proposed Offering, approximately 98% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering will be placed in a trust account and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds selected by the Company meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s first Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. The proceeds in the trust account will include $2.4 million of the gross proceeds representing deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be released to the underwriters on completion of a Business Combination. The remaining proceeds outside of the trust account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company will seek stockholder approval before it will affect any Business Combination, even if the Business Combination would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with the stockholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, all of the Company’s existing stockholders, including its officers and directors who own any of the initial shares (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote the shares of common stock owned by them immediately before this offering in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders. “Public Stockholders” is defined as the holders of common stock sold as part of the Units in the Proposed Offering or in the aftermarket. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of F-7 Table of Contents IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP. (a corporation in the development stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of the Business Combination and Public Stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in the Public Offering exercise their conversion rights. If a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are not voted in favor of a proposed initial Business Combination but 24 months has not yet passed since closing of the Proposed Offering the Company may combine with another Target Business meeting the fair market value criterion described above. Public Stockholders voting against a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the total amount on deposit in the trust account, before payment of underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their portion of the trust account net of income taxes payable thereon, and net of any interest income of up to $1.8 million on the balance of the trust account previously released to the Company, if a Business Combination is approved and completed. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation will be amended prior to the Proposed Offering to provide that the Company will continue in existence only until 24 months from the effective date. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up its affairs and it will liquidate. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Proposed Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units to be offered in the Proposed Offering discussed in Note 3). Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation The financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Development Stage Company The Company complies with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instrument,” approximate their carrying amounts presented in the accompanying balance sheet. Deferred Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Proposed Offering and that will be charged to capital upon the receipt of the proposed public offering proceeds or expensed if the offering is not completed. F-8 Table of Contents IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP. (a corporation in the development stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Net Loss per Common Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes The Company complies with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has not begun its trade or business for U.S. tax purposes. Accordingly, it could not yet recognize losses for expenditures. As a result a deferred tax asset of approximately $2,000 was established for the book loss recorded as well as a fully offsetting valuation allowance. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the establishment of the valuation allowance. Note 3 — Proposed Public Offering The Proposed Offering calls for the Company to offer for public sale 10,000,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $8.00 per unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of the completion of a Business Combination with a Target Business and one year from the effective date of the Proposed Offering and expiring four years from the effective date of the Proposed Offering, unless earlier redeemed. The Warrants will be redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants to be sold and issued in the Proposed Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. The Company will not be F-9 Table of Contents IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP. (a corporation in the development stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed. Note 4 — Related Party Transactions Between June 1, 2007 and June 15, 2007, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares (“Initial Shares”) of common stock to officers and directors (“Initial Stockholders”) for $0.01 per share or a total of $25,000. The Company issued unsecured promissory notes totaling $200,000 to its Initial Stockholders, on June 12, 2007. The notes are non-interest bearing and are payable on the earlier of June 12, 2008 or the consummation of the Proposed Offering by the Company. Due to the short-term nature of the notes, the fair value of the notes approximated their carrying amounts at $200,000. The Company has agreed to pay $7,500 per month for office space and general and administrative services. The office space is being leased from Clarity Partners, L.P. Barry A. Porter, one of our special advisors, is a co-founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity Partners, L.P., and the grantor trust of Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial stockholders. Services will commence on the effective date of the Proposed Offering and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. Certain of the Initial Stockholders have agreed to purchase warrants (“Insider Warrants”) exercisable for 2,400,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant concurrently with the closing of the Proposed Offering at a price of $1.00 per Warrant directly from the Company and not as part of the Proposed Offering. All of the proceeds from this private placement will be placed in a trust account until a business combination has been consummated. The Insider Warrants will be identical to the Warrants underlying the Units being offered in the Proposed Offering except that if the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, the Insider Warrants may be exercisable on a “cashless basis” so long as such securities are held by Ideation Acquisition Corp or its permitted transferees. Additionally, such purchasers have agreed that the Insider Warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until after the Company has completed a Business Combination. The holders of the Initial Shares, as well as the holders of the Insider Warrants (and underlying securities), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. The holders of the majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the Initial Shares will be able to make a demand for registration of the resale of their Initial Shares at any time commencing nine months after the consummation of a business combination. The holders of a majority of the Insider Warrants (or underlying securities) will be able to elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, such holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which such securities are released from escrow. On the date of this prospectus, all of our initial stockholders will place their initial shares and any insider warrants purchased by them into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. The Initial Shares will not be released from escrow until one year after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier if, following a Business Combination, we engage in a subsequent transaction resulting in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or if we liquidate and dissolve. The Insider Warrants will not be released from escrow until 90 days after the completion of our F-10 Table of Contents IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP. (a corporation in the development stage) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Note 5 — Commitments and contingencies The Company has agreed to pay Lazard Capital Markets LLC as the representative for the underwriters, 7% of the gross proceeds from the Proposed Offering, 4% of which is payable at closing and 3% which is payable upon consummation of a business combination. In addition to the previously described fee, Lazard Capital Markets LLC has been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 Units (over and above the 10,000,000 Units referred to above) solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The over-allotment will be used only to cover the net syndicate short position resulting from the initial distribution. The Company has also agreed to sell to Lazard Capital Markets LLC, for $100, as additional compensation, an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 Units for $10.00 per Unit. The Units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in the Proposed Offering; however the Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered under the registration statement. The sale of this option will be accounted for as an equity transaction. Accordingly, there will be no net effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except for the recording of the $100 proceeds from the sale. The Company has determined, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the most recent fair market value of the option is approximately $1.8 million, using an expected life of five years, volatility of 56.3% and a risk-free interest rate of 5.02%. Because the units do not have a trading history, the volatility assumption is based on information currently available to management. The volatility calculation of 56.3% is based on sample blank check companies that completed a business combination and have a subsequent trading history, because the Company’s management believes that this volatility is a reasonable benchmark, given the uncertainty of the industry of the Target Business, to use in estimating the expected volatility for its common stock. The purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the purchase option without the payment of any cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the purchase option or the Warrants underlying the purchase option. The holder of the purchase option will not be entitled to exercise the purchase option or the Warrants underlying the purchase option unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the purchase option is effective or an exemption from a registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the purchase option or the underlying Warrants, the purchase option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below. “Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance. (a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful. II-1 Table of Contents (b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. (c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. (d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders. (e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate. (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. (g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section. (h) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and II-2 Table of Contents authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. (i) For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section. (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. (k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).” Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Paragraph B of Article Eighth of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides: “The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.” Article VIII of our bylaws provides for indemnification of any of our directors, officers and other persons in accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, we have agreed to indemnify the underwriters, and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify us, against certain civil liabilities that may be incurred in connection with this offering, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act. II-3 Table of Contents Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. On June 12, 2007, in connection with the formation of our company, we issued 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to our officers, directors and special advisors, or entities affiliated with our officers, directors and special advisors, for $25,000, at a purchase price of $0.01 per share. Such shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. In each such transaction, the purchaser represented its intention at such time to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were or will be affixed to the instruments representing the securities issued or to be issued in such transactions. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: i. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; II-4 Table of Contents ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and iv.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such II-5 Table of Contents indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is located at The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Zip Code 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company. THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ DGCL ”). FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 51,000,000 Million, of which 50,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and 1,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Preferred Stock ”). A. Preferred Stock . The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “ Preferred Stock Designation ”) and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation. B. Common Stock . Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote. FIFTH: The name and mailing address of the sole incorporator of the Corporation are as follows: Name Address Teddy D. Klinghoffer Akerman Senterfitt One Southeast Third Avenue Suite 2500 Miami, Florida 33131-1714 SIXTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders: A. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the Corporation’s bylaws so provide. B. Newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason whatsoever shall be filled by vote of the majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified. C. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Board of Directors then in office shall be required in order for the Board of Directors to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Corporation’s bylaws. The Corporation’s bylaws may also be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation. No bylaw hereafter legally adopted, amended, altered or repealed shall invalidate any prior act of the directors or officers of the Corporation that would have been valid if such bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed. D. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Certificate of Incorporation, and to any bylaws from time to time made by the stockholders. SEVENTH: The following paragraphs shall apply with respect to liability and indemnification of officers and directors: A. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

The name of the Corporation is “Ideation Acquisition Corp.” 2. The Corporation’s original Certificate of Incorporation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 1, 2007. 3. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates, integrates and amends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation. 4. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by written consent of the directors and stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 228, 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). 5. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows: FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Ideation Acquisition Corp. SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is located at The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company. THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the DGCL. FOURTH: The Corporation’s existence shall terminate on , 2009 (the “Termination Date”). In the event that the Corporation submits an Initial Business Combination (as defined in Article Sixth below) to its stockholders for a vote pursuant to Article Sixth, paragraph C, it shall submit this provision to its stockholders concurrently for amendment to permit the Corporation’s continued existence. This provision shall not be amended other than pursuant to the preceding sentence. FIFTH: The Corporation is authorized to issue a total of 51,000,000 shares, consisting of two classes of stock, designated “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares of Common Stock the Corporation is authorized to issue is 50,000,000, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The total number of shares of Preferred Stock the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,000,000, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. A. Preferred Stock . The Board of Directors may from time to time issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and without stockholder approval. The Board of Directors may fix for each series it is authorized to issue such voting rights, full or limited, and such designations, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required to take such action pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation. B. Common Stock . Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of Common Stock shall possess exclusively all voting power, and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote. SIXTH: Paragraphs A through F below shall apply during the period commencing upon consummation of the Corporation’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and terminating upon consummation of any Initial Business Combination (the “Restricted Period”) and may not be amended during the Restricted Period without the affirmative vote of the holders of 95% of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. An “Initial Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition by the Corporation, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination or transaction or transactions, of one or more businesses or assets (the “Target Business” or “Target Businesses”) having, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the Corporation’s net assets (less the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable) at the time of such acquisition. Any acquisition of multiple Target Businesses shall occur simultaneously. “Fair market value” for purposes of this Article Sixth shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation based upon financial standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential gross margins, the values of comparable businesses, earnings and cash flow, and book value. If the Corporation’s Board of Directors is not able to determine independently that the Target Business or Businesses has a sufficient fair market value to meet the threshold criterion, the Corporation shall obtain an opinion with regard to such fair market value from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (an “Independent Financial Advisor”). The Corporation is not required to obtain an opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor as to the fair market value of the Target Business or Businesses if its Board of Directors independently determines that the Target Business or Businesses have sufficient fair market value to meet the threshold criterion. The “Trust Account” shall mean the trust account established by the Corporation in connection with the consummation of the IPO and into which the Corporation will deposit a designated portion of the net proceeds from the IPO, including any amount that is or will be due and payable as deferred underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Deferred Underwriting Compensation”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into with the underwriters of the IPO, as well as a portion of the proceeds of the Corporation’s issuance of securities in a private placement to take place simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. “IPO Shares” shall mean the shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the IPO. A. Upon consummation of the IPO, the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, for deposit into the Trust Account at least $78,345,000 (or $89,865,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), comprising (i) $75,945,000 of the net proceeds of the IPO, including $2.4 million in Deferred Underwriting Compensation (or $87,465,000 of the net proceeds, including $2.76 million in Deferred Underwriting Compensation, if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) and (ii) $2.4 million of the proceeds from the Corporation’s issuance and sale in a private placement of 2,400,000 warrants (the “Insider Warrants”) to take place simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. B. The Corporation shall not, and no employee of the Corporation shall, disburse or cause to be disbursed any of the proceeds held in the Trust Account except (i) for the payment of the Corporation’s income or other tax obligations, (ii) for the release of interest income of up to $1.7 million to the Corporation to fund the Corporation’s working capital requirements, (iii) in connection with an Initial Business Combination or thereafter, including, without limitation, the payment of any Deferred Underwriting Compensation in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, (iv) upon the Corporation’s liquidation or (v) as otherwise set forth herein. C. Prior to the consummation of any Initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall submit the Initial Business Combination to its stockholders for approval regardless of whether the Initial Business Combination is of a type that normally would require such stockholder approval under the DGCL. In addition to any other vote of stockholders of the Corporation required under applicable law or listing 2 agreement, the Corporation may consummate the Initial Business Combination only if approved by a majority of the IPO Shares voted at a duly held stockholders meeting in person or by proxy, and stockholders owning less than 30% of the IPO Shares vote against the business combination and exercise their conversion rights described in paragraph D below. The Corporation will not enter into an Initial Business Combination with any entity that is affiliated with any of the Corporation’s stockholders immediately prior to the IPO unless the Corporation obtains an opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor that the Initial Business Combination is fair to the Corporation’s stockholders from a financial perspective. D. At the time the Corporation seeks approval of the Initial Business Combination in accordance with paragraph C above, each holder of IPO Shares (each a “Public Stockholder”) may, at its option, convert its IPO Shares into cash at a per share conversion price (the “Conversion Price”), calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the Initial Business Combination, equal to (A) the amount in the Trust Account, inclusive of (x) the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the sale of the Insider Warrants, (y) the amount held in the Trust Account representing the Deferred Underwriting Compensation and (z) any interest income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable, that is not released to the Corporation to cover its operating expenses in accordance with paragraph B above, divided by (B) the number of IPO Shares outstanding on the date of calculation (including shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, if any). If a majority of the shares voted by the Public Stockholders are voted to approve the Initial Business Combination, and if Public Stockholders owning less than 30% of the total IPO Shares vote against such approval of the proposed Initial Business Combination and elect to convert their shares, the Corporation will proceed with such Initial Business Combination. If the Corporation so proceeds, subject to the availability of lawful funds therefor, it will convert IPO Shares held by those Public Stockholders who have affirmatively elected to convert their IPO Shares and who voted against the Initial Business Combination into cash at the Conversion Price. Only Public Stockholders shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account in connection with the approval of an Initial Business Combination, and the Corporation shall pay no distributions with respect to any other holders or shares of capital stock of the Corporation. If Public Stockholders holding 30% or more of the IPO Shares vote against approval of the proposed Initial Business Combination and elect to convert their IPO Shares, the Corporation will not proceed with such Initial Business Combination and will not convert any IPO Shares. E. In the event that the Corporation does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, all amounts in the Trust Account plus any other net assets of the Corporation not used for or reserved to pay obligations and claims or such other corporate expenses relating to or arising from the Corporation’s plan of dissolution and distribution, including costs of dissolving and liquidating the Corporation, shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to holders of the IPO Shares. The Corporation shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than IPO Shares. A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event that the Corporation does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date or in the event such holder demands conversion of its shares in accordance with paragraph D above. Except as may be required under applicable law, in no other circumstances shall any holder of shares of Common Stock have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Account or any amount or other property held therein. F. SEVENTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders: A. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be such as from time to time shall be fixed and determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the Corporation’s bylaws so provide. B. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Board of Directors then in office shall be required in order for the Board of Directors to 3 adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Corporation’s bylaws. The Corporation’s bylaws may also be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation. No bylaw hereafter legally adopted, amended, altered or repealed shall invalidate any prior act of the directors or officers of the Corporation that would have been valid if such bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed. C. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of stockholders or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason. D. In addition to the powers and authorities granted hereby or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, this Certificate of Incorporation and the Corporation’s bylaws. E. Upon consummation of the IPO, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class A, Class B and Class C, as nearly equal in number as possible. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to assign the members of the Board of Directors to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders. Commencing at the first annual meeting of stockholders, and at each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire in connection with such annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the DGCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in connection therewith, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders. EIGHTH: The following paragraphs shall apply with respect to liability and indemnification of officers and directors: A. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A by the 4 F. stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. B. The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby. NINTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation. This Article Ninth is subject to the requirements set forth in Article Sixth, and any conflict arising in respect of the terms set forth hereunder and thereunder shall be resolved by reference to the terms set forth in Article Sixth. TENTH: Subject to the provisions set forth in Article Sixth, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this certificate of incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights and powers conferred herein on stockholders, directors and officers are subject to this reserved power.
