Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “ELEC” and “ELECW,” respectively.

The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with, target businesses.

An affiliate of The Electrum Group LLC, a privately held global natural resources investment management company that manages the assets of Thomas S. Kaplan and other institutional investors, is acting as the Company’s sponsor.
