Prior to the completion of its initial public offering in April, 2006, the Board of Directors of HAPC, Inc. (the “Company”) had reserved 2,416,666 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and held as treasury shares for transfer to present or future officers, directors or employees. On July 24, 2006, the Board, with Sean McDevitt and Pat LaVecchia recusing themselves, reserved 2,000,000 of such shares for grant to Mr. McDevitt and 416,666 of such shares for grant to Mr. LaVecchia. In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, it had undertaken not to transfer any of these treasury shares to FTN Midwest Securities Corp., or any of its affiliates, including Messrs. McDevitt and LaVecchia, prior to the date that is the later of six months after the completion of a business combination or April 11, 2007. In reserving such shares for grant to Messrs.
