Mosaic Reschedules their Vote to January 17th

Mosaic Acquisition Corp. (MOSC), announced this morning that they will be adjourning and rescheduling their vote three days forward to January 17th (previously, the 14th).  Now that everyone is back from the holidays for the first full week of the new year, this gives investors additional time to digest MOSC’s amended deal with Vivint. If investors wish to change their vote and/or redemption status, they now have until January 15th to do so.

Additionally, since the changes to the terms of their deal were released right before Christmas (when everyone was on holiday, either figuratively or literally) this new date also gives their capital markets teams additional time to market the new terms to investors who may not have been around the past two weeks.

However, today’s press release also used the opportunity to re-iterate the changes to their Vivint deal, a summary of which has been provide below.
