(the “Company”), announced today that it completed the closing of the issuance of an additional 3,000,000 units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) pursuant to the exercise in full by BTIG, LLC and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. of their over-allotment option in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of 20,000,000 units.
