1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Constellation Alpha Capital Corp. (the Company or CNAC) is a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 31, 2015. The Company was 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 one or more businesses or entities (Business Combination).
All activity through June 30, 2019 relates to the Companys formation, its initial public offering consummated on June 23, 2017 (Initial Public Offering) of 14,375,000 units (Units and with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units, the Public Shares), the sale of 561,250 units (the Private Units) in a private placement to the Companys sponsor, Centripetal, LLC (the Sponsor) and Cowen Investments, LLC and their designees (Cowen Investments), and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. Each Unit consists of one Public Share, one right and one redeemable warrant (Public Warrant). Each right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share.
The Companys management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Companys Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account, which holds the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units (the Trust Account), (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide the holders of its Public Shares (Public Shareholders) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6).
On March 21, 2019, at the Special Meeting, the Companys shareholders approved the Companys amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (the Extension) to September 23, 2019 (the Combination Period). In connection with the Extension, an aggregate of 13,187,468 ordinary shares was redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $136.9 million out of the Trust Account.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination on or before the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $50,000), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Companys board

of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Companys Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than $10.10 per Unit. The Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify the Company to the extent necessary 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 the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company, but only if such a vendor or prospective target business does not execute such a waiver. However, the Sponsor may not be able to meet such obligation as the Company has not required its Sponsor to retain any assets to provide for its indemnification obligations, nor has the Company taken any further steps to ensure that the Sponsor will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that arise. Moreover, the Sponsor will not be liable to the Public Shareholders if it should fail to satisfy its obligations and instead will only be liable to the Company. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (Share Purchase Agreement) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Medall Healthcare Private Limited, a company registered under the laws of India (Medall). On December 3, 2018, the Share Purchase Agreement was terminated automatically.
On March 15, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had executed a non-binding Letter of Intent to merge with DermTech, Inc. (DermTech), a Delaware corporation and a leading moleculargenomics company, with an initial focus on skin cancer, that develops and markets novel non-invasive diagnostic tests. On May 22, 2019 and May 23, 2019, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements (each an Initial Subscription Agreement and, collectively, the Initial Subscription Agreements), with new health care focused institutional investors as well as certain existing investors in DermTech (the Initial Subscribers), pursuant to which the Initial Subscribers agreed to purchase an aggregate of 6,153,847 shares (the PIPE Shares) of the Companys common stock for a purchase price of $3.25 per share, in a private placement in which the Company will raise an aggregate of approximately $20 million, less certain offering related expenses payable by the Company (the Private Placement). The PIPE Shares are identical to the shares of common stock that will be held by the Companys public stockholders at the time of the closing of the Merger, as defined below. The closing of the sale of PIPE Shares and the Preferred Shares will be contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Merger.
On May 29, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with DermTech and DT Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary company of the Company incorporated in Delaware (Merger Sub), pursuant to which the Company will re-domicile out of the British Virgin Islands and continue as a company incorporated in the State of Delaware and Merger Sub will merge with and into DermTech (the Merger), with DermTech surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the closing of the Merger (the Merger Closing), all of DermTechs outstanding common stock and preferred stock will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of the Company less the total number of shares of the Companys common stock that can be acquired or received pursuant to certain options, restricted stock units and warrants of DermTech, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that, prior to the Closing, Constellation will re-domicile out of the British Virgin Islands and continue as a company incorporated in the State of Delaware (Note 9).
On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into amended and restated subscription agreements (the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to each such subscriber, and each such subscriber agreed to purchase, (i) shares of the Companys common stock at a purchase price of $3.25 per share and (ii) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the Preferred Shares) at a purchase price of $3,250 per Preferred Share. The subscribers to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of the Companys common stock and 1,231 Preferred Shares for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $8 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements, each Preferred Share is convertible into 1,000 shares of the Companys common stock. In connection with the New Subscription Agreement and the proposed issuance of Preferred Shares to certain subscribers, the Company received a waiver from DermTech to certain provisions of the Merger Agreement allowing the Company to (i) issue the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements and (ii) increase the amount of the proposed Private Placement to $24 million. On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into an Omnibus Common Share Subscription Agreement Amendment, which modified certain of the Initial Subscription Agreements to, among other things, adjust the limitation on the aggregate proceeds that Constellation is permitted to receive from the sale of its stock from the date of the Merger Agreement from $20 million to $24 million.
On August 1, 2019, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the New Subscription Agreement) with a new investor (the New Subscriber), pursuant to which the New Subscriber agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell to the New Subscriber, an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of the Companys common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $4 million. Under the New Subscription Agreement, the shares of the Companys common stock to be issued and the price per share are subject to adjustment for any reverse split or other adjustment that may be effected for the purpose of meeting the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The shares of the Companys common stock to be issued pursuant to the New Subscription Agreement will be identical to the shares of the Companys common stock that will be held by the Companys public stockholders upon the closing of the Transaction.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard
On February 22, 2019, the Company received a written notice (the Notice) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) (the Minimum Public Holders Rule), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Companys securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

(Unaudited)
On April 8, 2019, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule to Nasdaq providing that it expects to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule upon the consummation of the Merger. Nasdaq subsequently provided the Company with an extension until August 21, 2019, to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaqs initial listing requirements.
Going Concern Consideration
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash held outside the Trust Account of approximately $15,000, cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $12.4 million (including approximately $438,000 of interest income, net of unrealized losses), substantially all of which is invested in U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less, and a working capital deficit of approximately $2.4 million. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. Based on the foregoing, the Company will have insufficient funds available to operate its business through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or September 23, 2019. Following the initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company will need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations. The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The Companys plans to raise capital or to consummate the initial Business Combination may not be successful. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019, which contains the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of June 30, 2019 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019. The interim results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2020 or for any future interim periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging growth company
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Companys financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Companys assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Companys control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders equity. The Companys ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Companys control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders equity section of the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Net income (loss) per ordinary share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2019 and 2018, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the earnings from the assets held in the Trust Account. The Company has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 7,468,125 ordinary shares, and (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement that convert into 1,493,625 ordinary shares, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of rights into ordinary shares is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods.
Reconciliation of net (loss) income per ordinary share
The Companys net (loss) income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not the losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated as follows:

Income taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Companys management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Companys major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws. The Companys management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The Companys tax provision is zero because the Company is organized in the British Virgin Islands with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction. As such, the Company has no deferred tax assets. The Company is considered to be an exempted British Virgin Islands Company, and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the British Virgin Islands or the United States.
Recently issued accounting standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On June 23, 2017, the Company sold 14,375,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,875,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, one Public Right and one Public Warrant. Each Public Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share. The Company will not issue fractional shares.
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cowen Investments purchased an aggregate of 561,250 Private Units for an aggregate purchase price of $5,612,500, of which 425,000 Private Units were purchased by the Sponsor and 136,250 Private Units were purchased by Cowen Investments. The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.
The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except for the Private Warrants, as described in Note 7. The holders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except to certain permitted transferees and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the founder shares must agree to) until after the completion of a Business Combination.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Administrative Services Arrangement
The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on June 20, 2017 through the earlier of the Companys consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company pays the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative services. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $30,000 in fees for these services in each period. An aggregate of $100,000 and $70,000 in fees for these services were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Companys officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (Working Capital Loans). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had an outstanding balance of approximately $11,100 of advances from related parties for expenses incurred on the Companys behalf. In December 2018 and June 2019, the Companys Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) advanced $25,000 and $10,500 to the Company, respectively. In addition, on April 17, 2019 and May 21, 2019, the Company entered into two promissory notes evidencing loans of $55,000 and $14,559 made to the Company by two lenders, respectively, for the sole purpose of paying a portion of the Companys expenses. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company received an additional advance of $24,500 from its CEO. The three advances were evidenced by promissory note for an aggregate principal amount of $60,000. The notes are non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable upon the consummation of the initial business combination. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination, the notes will be forgiven.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 19, 2017, the holders of the founder shares, Private Units and any units that may be issued upon conversion of the working capital loans (and underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of 25% of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of up to three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, of which 0.5% is payable solely at the discretion of the Company. In May 2019, the Company elected not to pay the 0.5% discretionary deferred underwriting fees to the underwriters. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CNAC, DermTech and Cowen and Company, LLC (Cowen) entered into a letter agreement, dated May 29, 2019, (the Deferred Underwriting Fee Assignment Agreement), pursuant to which CNAC agreed to assign to DermTech, and DermTech agreed to assume, CNACs obligation under the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2017 (the Underwriting Agreement), by and among CNAC and Cowen, acting as representative of the underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (the Underwriters), to pay the Underwriters the underwriting fee set forth therein (the Underwriting Fee Assignment), subject to certain adjustments and pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Underwriting Fee Assignment Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Underwriting Fee Assignment Agreement, if the Merger is consummated and CNAC raises at least $15.0 million in proceeds from equity financings consummated prior to the one-year anniversary of the Merger Closing, excluding the proceeds received from any financing consummated prior to or simultaneous with the Merger Closing, then DermTech will pay to the underwriters $2,187,500 within two business days of CNAC receiving the proceeds from such equity financings. If CNAC fails to raise such funds by the one-year anniversary of the consummation of the Merger, then DermTech will pay to the Underwriters $1,093,750 within one week of the one-year anniversary of the Merger Closing, and the underwriters will have the option to receive an additional $1,093,750 in CNAC common stock at that time (the Equity Payment) based on the then fair market value of CNAC common stock, or to receive $1,093,750 in cash at a later date. DermTechs payment to the Underwriters of $2,187,500, or its payment of $1,093,750 plus the Equity Payment, in either case, shall satisfy DermTechs obligation to pay the deferred underwriting fees in full, and no further payment of any kind shall be required of DermTech or CNAC in connection with the deferred underwriting fees.
The Underwriting Fee Assignment will be effective only if and when the Merger is consummated; provided that the Underwriting Fee Assignment will not be effective in the event the Merger is consummated after September 23, 2019. CNAC has elected not to pay the 0.5% discretionary underwriting discount under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
7. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Preferred Shares The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value preferred shares, divided into five classes, Class A through Class E, each with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined by a resolution of the Companys board of directors to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to create such designations, rights and preferences. The Company has five classes of preferred shares to give the Company flexibility as to the terms on which each Class is issued. All shares of a single class must be issued with the same rights and obligations. Accordingly, starting with five classes of preferred shares will allow the Company to issue shares at different times on different terms. At June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, there are no preferred shares designated, issued or outstanding.
Ordinary Shares The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value ordinary shares. Holders of the Companys ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, there were 5,274,576 and 5,260,831 ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding 67,956 and 81,701 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively).

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering in June 2017, the Sponsor forfeited 136,250 founder shares, which such shares were cancelled and simultaneously issued to Cowen Investments for no additional consideration (the Cowen Shares). The Company accounted for the Cowen Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders equity. The Company estimated the fair value of the Cowen Shares to be $1,362,500 based upon the offering price of the Units of $10.00 per Unit. Cowen Investments has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Cowen Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until, with respect to 50% of the Cowen Shares, the earlier of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Companys ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30- trading day period commencing after a Business Combination, and with respect to the remaining 50% of the Cowen Shares, upon one year after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in each case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Companys shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. In addition, Cowen Investments has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Rights Each holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary share basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Companys assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.
Warrants Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the consummation of a Business Combination. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the consummation of a Business Combination, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

(Unaudited)
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such Private Warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holders option, and are be redeemable by the Company, in each case so long as they are still held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates.
The Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Warrants):
| in whole and not in part; |
| at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| at any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable; |
| upon not less than 30 days prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder; |
| if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders; and |
| if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. |
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a cashless basis, as described in the warrant agreement.
The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Companys assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Companys financial assets and liabilities reflects managements estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
14
Table of Contents
CONSTELLATION ALPHA CAPITAL CORP.

(Unaudited)
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following table presents information about the Companys assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

9. MERGER AGREEMENT
On May 29, 2019, the Company, Merger Sub, and DermTech entered into the Merger Agreement, which was amended on August 1, 2019, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into DermTech, with DermTech surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CNAC (collectively with the transactions related thereto, the Transaction).
Merger Agreement
Domestication
The Merger Agreement provides that at least two business days prior to the Merger Closing, CNAC will re-domicile out of the British Virgin Islands and continue as a company incorporated in the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 184 of the BVI Business Companies Act and Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the Domestication). In connection with the Domestication, all ordinary shares of CNAC will be deemed to be converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of CNAC (the CNAC common stock).
The Transaction and Consideration
At the Merger Closing, all of DermTechs outstanding common stock and preferred stock will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of CNAC common stock less the total number of shares of CNAC common stock that can be acquired or received pursuant to certain options, restricted stock units and warrants of DermTech, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. All of DermTechs options, restricted stock units and warrants, whether vested or unvested, that will remain outstanding following the Merger Closing, will be assumed by CNAC and will become awards to acquire shares of CNAC common stock, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Conditions to Completion of the Transaction
Consummation of the Transaction is subject to customary and other conditions, including (i) the shareholders of CNAC having approved, among other things, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) the stockholders of DermTech having approved the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) the completion of the Domestication, (iv) the absence of any governmental order that would prohibit the Transaction, and (v) a registration statement (as specified in the Merger Agreement) shall have been declared effective by the SEC.
Termination of the Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to consummation of the Transaction by mutual consent of DermTech and CNAC. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either DermTech or CNAC if (i) the Merger shall not have been consummated prior to September 24, 2019; (ii) any governmental authority in the United States shall have issued a final, non-appealable order that has the effect of making consummation of the Merger illegal

(Unaudited)
or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transaction; or (iii) the Merger Agreement shall fail to receive the requisite vote for approval when presented to CNACs shareholders. The Merger Agreement may also be terminated by either CNAC or DermTech in the event that certain other conditions provided for in the Merger Agreement are triggered.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with, and as a condition to the Merger Closing, the Merger Agreement provides that CNAC and certain persons and entities which will hold CNAC common stock upon the consummation of the Transaction (collectively, the Investors) will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, CNAC will be obligated to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to register the resale by the Investors of CNAC common stock issuable in connection with the Transaction. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide the Investors with demand, piggy-back and Form S-3 registration rights, subject to certain minimum requirements and customary conditions.
Lock-Up Agreement
In connection with, and as a condition to the Merger Closing, the Merger Agreement provides that the Investors and certain persons and entities which will hold CNAC common stock upon the consummation of the Transaction will each enter into a Lock-up Agreement providing each such holder agrees that, during the period commencing on the Merger Closing and continuing to and including the date 180 days after the date of the Merger Closing, such holder will not sell, offer to sell, pledge, or transfer any CNAC securities held by such holder, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Subscription Agreements
On May 22, 2019 and May 23, 2019, CNAC entered into separate Subscription Agreements with new health care focused Subscribers, pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and CNAC agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 6,153,847 PIPE Shares, for a purchase price of $3.25 per share, in a private placement in which CNAC will raise an aggregate of approximately $20,000,000, less certain offering related expenses payable by CNAC. The PIPE Shares are identical to the shares of CNAC common stock that will be held by CNACs public stockholders at the time of the Merger Closing.
The closing of the sale of PIPE Closing will be contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The PIPE Closing will occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction and will be subject to customary conditions. The purpose of the sale of the PIPE Shares is to raise additional capital for working capital following the Merger Closing.
CNAC has agreed that, within 45 days after the consummation of the Transaction, it will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.
No fees or other compensation was paid or will be payable to any of the Subscribers or any third parties in consideration of the Subscribers entering into the Subscription Agreements.
Forfeiture Agreement
On May 29, 2019, the Sponsor entered into a Forfeiture Letter, pursuant to which the Sponsor will forfeit to CNAC an aggregate of 2,694,779 shares of CNAC common stock, effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
New Subscription Agreement
On August 1, 2019, CNAC entered into the New Subscription Agreement with the New Subscriber, pursuant to which the New Subscriber agreed to purchase, and CNAC agreed to sell to the New Subscriber, an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of CNAC common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $4 million. Under the New Subscription Agreement, the shares of CNAC common stock to be issued and the price per share are subject to adjustment for any reverse split or other adjustment that may be effected for the purpose of meeting the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The shares of CNAC common stock to be issued pursuant to the New Subscription Agreement will be identical to the shares of CNAC common stock that will be held by CNACs public stockholders upon the closing of the Merger.
The closing of the sale of CNAC common stock pursuant to the New Subscription Agreement will be contingent upon the consummation of the Merger and will occur concurrently with the closing of the Merger, subject to customary closing conditions. The purpose of the sale of CNAC common stock pursuant to the New Subscription Agreement is to raise additional capital for working capital for CNAC following the closing of the Merger.
CNAC has agreed that, within 45 days after the consummation of the Merger, it will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the CNAC common stock pursuant to the New Subscription Agreement, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.
Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements
On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements pursuant to which CNAC agreed to sell to each such subscriber, and each such subscriber agreed to purchase, (i) PIPE shares at a purchase price of $3.25 per share and (ii) Preferred Shares at a purchase price of $3,250 per Preferred Share. The subscribers to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of CNAC common stock and 1,231 Preferred Shares for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $8 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements, each Preferred Share is convertible into 1,000 shares of CNAC common stock.
In connection with the closing of the Merger, CNAC will file a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations for the Preferred Shares (the Series A Certificate of Designation). Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation, holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis equal to and in the same form as dividends paid on shares of CNAC common stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on such common stock. The Series A Certificate of Designation will provide that holders of the Preferred Shares shall participate pari passu with the holders of CNAC common stock on an as-converted basis in the event of dissolution, liquidation or winding up of CNAC. The Series A Certificate of Designation also will provide that each Preferred Share will be convertible into CNAC common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.00325, provided that in no event shall any Preferred Shares be convertible if such conversion would result in the holder of such shares beneficially owning more than 9.99% of CNACs then-outstanding shares of common stock. The Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights, except with respect to certain protective provisions set forth in the Series A Certificate of Designation relating to the powers, preferences and rights of the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares will not be redeemable.
In connection with the New Subscription Agreement and the proposed issuance of Preferred Shares to certain subscribers, CNAC received a waiver from DermTech to certain provisions of the Merger Agreement allowing CNAC to (i) issue the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements and (ii) increase the amount of the proposed private placement to $24 million.
Omnibus Common Share Subscription Agreement Amendment
On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into an Omnibus Common Share Subscription Agreement Amendment, which modified certain of the Initial Subscription Agreements to, among other things, adjust the limitation on the aggregate proceeds that CNAC is permitted to receive from the sale of its stock from the date of the Merger Agreement from $20 million to $24 million.
First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger
On August 1, 2019, CNAC, Merger Sub, and DermTech, entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, which amended the Merger Agreement to add Mr. Enrico Picozza to the list of initial directors of the combined company following the consummation of the Merger.
Related Party Loan
On August 7, 2019, the Company received an additional advance of $24,500 from its CEO, which was evidenced together with the advances received from the CEO in December 2018 and June 2019 by a promissory note for an aggregate principal amount $60,000.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on July 31, 2015 in the British Virgin Islands and formed for the purpose of entering into a business combination with one or more target businesses.
On June 23, 2017, we consummated our initial public offering of 14,375,000 units (including 1,875,000 units sold pursuant to the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option), with each unit consisting of one ordinary share, one warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. Each warrant will become exercisable on the completion of our business combination. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The units in our initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $143,750,000. Cowen Investments acted as the sole book running manager and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as co-manager of the offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-218093), or our registration statement. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on June 19, 2017.
We paid a total of $2,875,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $514,467 for other costs and expenses related to our initial public offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $5,031,250 in underwriting discounts and commissions, and up to this amount will be payable upon consummation of the business combination. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of $5,031,250 in underwriting discounts and commissions, which will be released from the trust account upon consummation of the business combination, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our initial public offering and the private placement was $145,973,033, of which $145,187,500 (or $10.10 per unit sold in our initial public offering) was placed in the trust account. Of the 3.5% deferred underwriting fee, or $5,031,250, 0.5% (or $718,750) is payable in our sole discretion. In May 2019, we elected not to pay the 0.5% discretionary deferred underwriting fee to the underwriters.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CNAC, DermTech and Cowen and Company, LLC (Cowen) entered into a letter agreement, dated May 29, 2019, (the Deferred Underwriting Fee Assignment Agreement), pursuant to which we agreed to assign to DermTech, and DermTech agreed to assume, our obligation under the Underwriting Agreement to pay the underwriters the deferred underwriting fees, subject to certain adjustments and pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Underwriting Fee Assignment Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Underwriting Fee Assignment Agreement, if the Merger is consummated and we raise at least $15.0 million in proceeds from equity financings consummated prior to the one-year anniversary of the Merger Closing, excluding the proceeds received from any financing consummated prior to or simultaneous with the Merger Closing, then DermTech will pay to the underwriters $2,187,500 within two business days of CNAC receiving the proceeds from such equity financings. If we fail to raise such funds by the one-year anniversary of the consummation of the Merger, then DermTech will pay to the underwriters $1,093,750 within one week of the one-year anniversary of the Merger Closing, and the underwriters will have the option to receive an additional $1,093,750 in CNAC common stock at that time (the Equity Payment) based on the then fair market value of CNAC common stock, or to receive $1,093,750 in cash at a later date. DermTechs payment to the underwriters of $2,187,500, or its payment of $1,093,750 plus the Equity Payment, in either case, shall satisfy DermTechs obligation to pay the deferred underwriting fees in full, and no further payment of any kind shall be required of DermTech or CNAC in connection with the deferred underwriting fees.

On March 21, 2019, at the Special Meeting, our shareholders approved our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination (the Extension) to September 23, 2019 (the Combination Period). In connection with the Extension, an aggregate of 13,187,468 ordinary shares was redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $136.9 million out of the trust account.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination on or before the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $50,000), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to our obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination or to raise capital will be successful.
On March 15, 2019, we issued a press release announcing that we executed a non-binding Letter of Intent to merge with DermTech, a Delaware corporation and a leading moleculargenomics company, with an initial focus on skin cancer, that develops and markets novel non-invasive diagnostic tests. On May 22, 2019 and May 23, 2019, we entered into separate subscription agreements (each, an Initial Subscription Agreement and collectively, the Initial Subscription Agreements), with new health care focused institutional investors as well as certain existing investors in DermTech (the Initial Subscribers), pursuant to which the Initial Subscribers agreed to purchase an aggregate of 6,153,847 shares (the PIPE Shares) of our common stock for a purchase price of $3.25 per share of common stock, in a private placement that contemplated that we would raise an aggregate of approximately $20 million, less certain offering related expenses payable by us (the Private Placement). The PIPE Shares are identical to the shares of common stock that will be held by our public stockholders at the time of the closing of the Merger, as defined below. The closing of the sale of PIPE Shares will be contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Merger.
On May 29, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with DermTech and DT Merger Sub, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary company of the Company incorporated in Delaware (Merger Sub), pursuant to which we will re-domicile out of the British Virgin Islands and continue as a company incorporated in the State of Delaware and Merger Sub will merge with and into DermTech (the Merger), with DermTech surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. Upon the closing of the Merger, all of DermTechs outstanding common stock and preferred stock will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of the Company less the total number of shares of our common stock that can be acquired or received pursuant to certain options, restricted stock units and warrants of DermTech, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Consummation of the Business Combination is subject to customary conditions.
On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into amended and restated subscription agreements (the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements) pursuant to which we agreed to sell to each such subscriber, and each such subscriber agreed to purchase, (i) shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $3.25 per share and (ii) shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Shares) at a purchase price of $3,250 per Preferred Share. The subscribers to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of our common stock and 1,231 Preferred Shares for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $8 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements, each Preferred Share is convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with the New Subscription Agreement and the proposed issuance of Preferred Shares to certain subscribers, we received a waiver from DermTech to certain provisions of the Merger Agreement allowing us to (i) issue the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements and (ii) increase the amount of the proposed Private Placement to $24 million. On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into an Omnibus Common Share Subscription Agreement Amendment, which modified certain of the Initial Subscription Agreements to, among other things, adjust the limitation on the aggregate proceeds that Constellation is permitted to receive from the sale of its stock from the date of the Merger Agreement from $20 million to $24 million.
On August 1, 2019, we entered into a subscription agreement (the New Subscription Agreement) with a new investor (the New Subscriber), pursuant to which the New Subscriber agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell to the New Subscriber, an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $4 million. Under the New Subscription Agreement, the shares of our common stock to be issued and the price per share are subject to adjustment for any reverse split or other adjustment that may be effected for the purpose of meeting the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to the New Subscription Agreement will be identical to the shares of our common stock that will be held by our public stockholders upon the closing of the Merger.
In addition, on August 1, 2019, we entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Merger Sub, and DermTech, which amended the Merger Agreement to add Mr. Enrico Picozza to the list of initial directors of the combined company following the consummation of the Merger.
On August 8, 2019, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-232181), as amended, which includes a proxy statement with respect to our special meeting of shareholders to approve the Merger Agreement among other matters as well as prospectus with respect to the shares of common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger. On August 9, 2019, we commenced the mailing of the proxy statement to our shareholders as of the July 25, 2019 record date.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard
On February 22, 2019, the Notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that we are not in compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule, which requires us to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of our securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
On April 8, 2019, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule to Nasdaq providing that it expects to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule upon the consummation of the Merger. Nasdaq subsequently provided us with an extension until August 21, 2019, to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaqs initial listing requirements.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2019 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate our initial public offering and identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities we hold as a result of the initial public offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in pursuit of our acquisition plans.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had net loss of approximately $139,000, consisting of interest income of approximately $70,900, unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our trust account of approximately $3,000, and reduction of deferred underwriting fees of approximately $719,000, offset by operating costs of approximately $932,000.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had net income of approximately $444,000, consisting of interest income on marketable securities held in our trust account of approximately $650,000, offset by operating costs of approximately $158,000 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our trust account of approximately $48,000.
Going Concern Consideration
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2019, we cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $12.4 million (including approximately $438,000 of interest income, net of unrealized losses), substantially all of which is invested in U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less, and a working capital deficit of approximately $2.4 million. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Based on the foregoing, we will have insufficient funds available to operate our business through the earlier of consummation of a business combination or September 23, 2019, the date we are required to liquidate the trust account and wind up our affairs if we have not completed a business combination. Following the initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Our plans to raise capital or to consummate the initial business combination may not be successful. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2019, we had cash of approximately $15,000 held outside the trust account, which is available for use by us for general corporate purposes. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, we had accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $2.4 million.
On April 17, 2019 and May 21, 2019, we entered into two promissory notes evidencing loans of $55,000 and $14,559 made to us by two related parties, respectively, for the sole purpose of paying our expenses. The principal balance of the notes shall be payable on the date that we consummate our initial business combination from the funds available to us in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 23, 2017, we consummated our initial public offering of 14,375,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,875,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $143.75 million. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 561,250 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, of which of which 425,000 Private Units were purchased by the Sponsor and 136,250 Private Units were purchased by Cowen Investments, generating gross proceeds of approximately $5.61 million.
Following the initial public offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option, a total of approximately $145.2 million was placed in the trust account. We incurred approximately $8.4 million in initial public offering related costs, including $2.875 million of underwriting fees, approximately $5.03 million of deferred underwriting fees and approximately $514,000 of initial public offering costs. In connection with the Extension in March 2019, an aggregate of 13,187,468 ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $136.9 million out of the Trust Account.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $26,000. Net income of approximately $2.0 million was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $71,000, an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $3,000, and reduction of deferred underwriting fees liability of approximately $719,000. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities provided cash of approximately $906,000. In addition, cash provided by financing activities was $10,500 comprised solely of advances from a related party.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $64,000. Net income of approximately $444,000 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $650,000 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $48,000. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities provided cash of approximately $94,000.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private units, including the funds held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the trust account), to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our shares are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial 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. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into private units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per private unit at the option of the lender. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of March 31, 2018, we had an outstanding balance of approximately $11,100 of advances from related parties for expenses incurred on our behalf. In December 2018 and June 2019, our Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) advanced $25,000 and $10,500 to us, respectively. In addition, on April 17, 2019 and May 21, 2019, we entered into two promissory notes evidencing loans of $55,000 and $14,559 made to us by two lenders, respectively, for the sole purpose of paying a portion of our expenses. On August 7, 2019, we received an additional advance of $24,500 from our CEO, which were evidenced together with the advances received from the CEO in December 2018 and June 2019 by promissory note for an aggregate principal amount $60,000. The principal balance of the notes shall be payable on the date that we consummate our initial business combination from the funds available to us in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination.

Table of Contents
We will need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we will issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination, in which case we will issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. We cannot provide any assurance that financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-balance sheet financing arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay our sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 20, 2017 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and the Companys liquidation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policy:
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Net income (loss) per ordinary share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2019 and 2018, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the earnings from the assets held in the trust account.

Recent accounting pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Merger
On May 29, 2019, the Company, Merger Sub, and DermTech entered into the Merger Agreement, which was amended on August 1, 2019, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into DermTech, with DermTech surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively with the transactions related thereto, the Transaction).
Merger Agreement
Domestication
The Merger Agreement provides that at least two business days prior to the closing of the Merger (the Merger Closing), we will re-domicile out of the British Virgin Islands and continue as a company incorporated in the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 184 of the BVI Business Companies Act and Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the Domestication). In connection with the Domestication, all ordinary shares, no par value, of Constellation will be deemed to be converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Constellation (the Constellation common stock).
The Transaction and Consideration
At the Merger Closing, all of DermTechs outstanding common stock and preferred stock will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of Constellation common stock less the total number of shares of Constellation common stock that can be acquired or received pursuant to certain options, restricted stock units and warrants of DermTech, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. All of DermTechs options, restricted stock units and warrants, whether vested or unvested, that will remain outstanding following the Merger Closing, will be assumed by Constellation and will become awards to acquire shares of Constellation common stock, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Conditions to Completion of the Transaction
Consummation of the Transaction is subject to customary and other conditions, including (i) the shareholders of Constellation having approved, among other things, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) the stockholders of DermTech having approved the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) the completion of the Domestication, (iv) the absence of any governmental order that would prohibit the Transaction, and (v) a registration statement (as specified in the Merger Agreement) shall have been declared effective by the SEC.
Termination of the Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to consummation of the Transaction by mutual consent of DermTech and Constellation. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either DermTech or Constellation if (i) the Merger shall not have been consummated prior to September 24, 2019; (ii) any governmental authority in the United States shall have issued a final, non-appealable order that has the effect of making consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transaction; or (iii) the Merger Agreement shall fail to receive the requisite vote for approval when presented to Constellations shareholders. The Merger Agreement may also be terminated by either Constellation or DermTech in the event that certain other conditions provided for in the Merger Agreement are triggered.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with, and as a condition to the Merger Closing, the Merger Agreement provides that Constellation and certain persons and entities which will hold Constellation common stock upon the consummation of the Transaction (collectively, the Investors) will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Constellation will be obligated to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to register the resale by the Investors of Constellation common stock issuable in connection with the Transaction.

Lock-Up Agreement
In connection with, and as a condition to the Merger Closing, the Merger Agreement provides that the Investors and certain persons and entities which will hold Constellation common stock upon the consummation of the Transaction will each enter into a Lock-up Agreement providing each such holder agrees that, during the period commencing on the Merger Closing and continuing to and including the date 180 days after the date of the Merger Closing, such holder will not sell, offer to sell, pledge, or transfer any Constellation securities held by such holder, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Subscription Agreements
On May 22, 2019 and May 23, 2019, Constellation entered into separate Initial Subscription Agreements with certain of the Initial Subscribers, pursuant to which the Initial Subscribers agreed to purchase, and Constellation agreed to sell to the Initial Subscribers, an aggregate of 6,153,847 PIPE Shares for a purchase price of $3.25 per share, in a private placement which contemplated that Constellation would raise an aggregate of approximately $20,000,000, less certain offering related expenses payable by Constellation. The PIPE Shares are identical to the shares of Constellation common stock that will be held by Constellations public stockholders at the time of the Merger Closing.
The closing of the sale of PIPE Shares (the PIPE Closing) will be contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The PIPE Closing will occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction and will be subject to customary conditions. The purpose of the sale of the PIPE Shares is to raise additional capital for working capital following the Merger Closing.
Constellation has agreed that, within 45 days after the consummation of the Transaction, it will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.
No fees or other compensation was paid or will be payable to any of the Subscribers or any third parties in consideration of the Subscribers entering into the Subscription Agreements.
On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements pursuant to which we agreed to sell to each such subscriber, and each such subscriber agreed to purchase, (i) shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $3.25 per share and (ii) Preferred Shares at a purchase price of $3,250 per Preferred Share. The subscribers to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of our common stock and 1,231 Preferred Shares for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $8 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements, each Preferred Share is convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with the New Subscription Agreement and the proposed issuance of Preferred Shares to certain subscribers, we received a waiver from DermTech to certain provisions of the Merger Agreement allowing us to (i) issue the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements and (ii) increase the amount of the proposed Private Placement to $24 million. On August 1, 2019, certain of the Initial Subscribers entered into an Omnibus Common Share Subscription Agreement Amendment, which modified certain of the Initial Subscription Agreements to, among other things, adjust the limitation on the aggregate proceeds that Constellation is permitted to receive from the sale of its stock from the date of the Merger Agreement from $20 million to $24 million.
On August 1, 2019, we entered into the New Subscription Agreement with the New Subscriber, pursuant to which the New Subscriber agreed to purchase, and we agreed to sell to the New Subscriber, an aggregate of 1,230,769 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $3.25 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $4 million. Under the New Subscription Agreement, the shares of our common stock to be issued and the price per share are subject to adjustment for any reverse split or other adjustment that may be effected for the purpose of meeting the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to the New Subscription Agreement will be identical to the shares of our common stock that will be held by our public stockholders upon the closing of the Merger.
Forfeiture Agreement
On May 29, 2019, the Sponsor entered into a Forfeiture Letter, pursuant to which the Sponsor will forfeit to Constellation an aggregate of 2,694,779 shares of Constellation common stock, effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
All activity through June 30, 2019 relates to our formation, the preparation for our Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering were invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we do not believe that there will be an associated material exposure to interest rate risk at June 30, 2019.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
In June 2019, we received invoices for the payment of a placement and advisory commission and expenses totaling more than $1.2 million from a financial advisor pursuant to a letter agreement which was previously terminated by us. We do not believe any commissions are due and owing under the terms of the letter agreement.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 filed with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 filed with the SEC, except as set forth in our Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on October 3, 2018, as it may be amended from time to time, however, we may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
