Introductory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion on October 13, 2023 (the “Closing Date”) of the transactions contemplated by that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Skyline Champion Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Skyline Champion”), Champion Home Builders, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Skyline Champion (“CHB”), Champion Retail Housing, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Skyline Champion (“CRH” and together with CHB, “Buyers”), Regional Holdings Corporation, a Mississippi corporation (“Regional”), Regional Underwriters, Inc., a Saint Kitts and Nevis corporation (“Regional Underwriters”), Heath Jenkins, as beneficial owner of the outstanding equity interests of Regional (collectively, with Regional and the Regional Underwriters, the “Sellers”), Dana Jenkins, as beneficial owner of the outstanding equity interests of Helicon Insurance, LLC, and party thereto solely with respect to the sale of Helicon Insurance, LLC (“Dana Jenkins”), and Heath Jenkins, solely in his capacity as the representative of the Sellers (the “Sellers’ Representative”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, Buyers acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Regional Enterprises, LLC and related companies (collectively, “Regional Homes,” each being a “Regional Home Company”) from the Sellers and Dana Jenkins (collectively, the “Transaction”).
On the Closing Date, Skyline, through Buyers, paid to Sellers approximately $313,000,000, net of cash acquired, plus assumed debt, primarily related to inventory floor plan liabilities, of $93,000,000. In addition, the Company issued 379,248 shares of common stock in Skyline Champion, par value $0.0277 per share (the “Skyline Common Stock”), equal to $25,000,000 in cash, to Sellers. The transaction is subject to an earnout provision as well as customary net working capital adjustments. The Company also issued 75,850 shares of Skyline Common Stock, equal to $5,000,000 in cash, to Dana Jenkins (the “D. Jenkins Stock Consideration”) for Helicon Insurance, LLC. For each of Sellers and Dana Jenkins, the number of shares of Skyline Common Stock was calculated by dividing the cash equivalent of the Stock Consideration and the D. Jenkins Stock Consideration by the volume weighted average price per share of Skyline Champion Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the thirty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date. The Skyline Champion Common Stock was issued to the Sellers and Dana Jenkins in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (the “Private Placement”).
In addition, certain sales proceeds were deposited with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) on the Closing Date for the purposes of satisfying any additional post-closing purchase price adjustments owed by the Sellers to Buyers and as security for the Sellers’ indemnification obligations to Buyers and will be released in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. As previously disclosed, the Sellers are entitled to all shareholder rights with respect to the Stock Consideration, including, but not limited to, dividends and voting rights, while the Stock Consideration is held in escrow.
Skyline Champion funded the Transaction with cash on hand and 455,098 shares of Skyline Common Stock, as stated above.
Assumed Indebtedness:
On the Closing Date, approximately $93,000,000 of the purchase price was paid by Buyers in the form of assumed indebtedness, pursuant to which Buyers and Skyline Champion agreed to act as guarantors for certain of Regional Homes’ payment obligations under certain promissory notes issued by Regional Homes in favor of the lenders named therein.

On the Closing Date, Skyline Champion, Buyers and certain of Sellers’ affiliates (the “Restricted Parties”) entered into that certain Restrictive Covenant Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, pursuant to which the Restricted Parties agreed to refrain from competing with, and soliciting service providers to and customers of, Regional Homes for the five years immediately following the Closing Date in order to protect Regional Homes’ business interests and goodwill.
Release Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Sellers and Dana Jenkins entered into that certain Release Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023 (the “Release Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sellers and Dana Jenkins released any and all claims arising prior to the Closing against Skyline Champion, Buyers and Regional Homes, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of or relating to the Purchase Agreement.
Restricted Stock Agreement
On the Closing Date, Skyline Champion, Sellers and Dana Jenkins entered into that certain Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023 (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth therein in connection with any transfer of the Skyline Common Stock issued to them in the Private Placement (collectively with any new, substituted or additional securities that may be received in replacement of the Skyline Common Stock, the “Shares”). The Restricted Stock Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each of the parties, including, among others, that Sellers and Dana Jenkins (together, the “Recipients”) are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D adopted under the Securities Act.
The Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation D and Rule 144 under the Securities Act and will be subject to certain restrictions, including, but not limited to, (i) a six-month holding period after issuance of the Shares, (ii) limitations on the number of Shares that can be sold in any three-month period by an affiliate of Skyline Champion, (iii) limitations on the encumbrances or liens that may be placed on the Shares within six months following the issuance of the Shares, (iv) compliance with any stock ownership or holding guidelines that may be adopted by Skyline Champion and may be in effect with respect to directors, officers or employees of Skyline Champion, and (v) in the case of Heath Jenkins, compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Skyline Champion’s Insider Trading Policy. In addition, the Restricted Stock Agreement provides for certain vesting periods, subject to certain exceptions, such that (a) no Recipient may transfer any Shares until the first anniversary of the Closing, (b) from the first anniversary of the Closing to the second anniversary, a Recipient may transfer one-third of the Shares that such Recipient owned beneficially on the first anniversary, (c) from the second anniversary of the Closing to the third anniversary, a Recipient may transfer all but one-third of the Shares that such Recipient owned beneficially on the first anniversary, and (d) from and after the third anniversary, a Recipient may transfer any and all other Shares.
The Restricted Stock Agreement will not obligate Skyline Champion to register the Shares under the Securities Act. That said, Skyline Champion has agreed in the Restricted Stock Agreement to make all information publicly available as required by Rule 144 of the Securities Act and other applicable regulations such that the Recipients may resell the Shares to the public without registration.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including certain statements regarding Skyline Champion’s strategic initiatives, and future market demand are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of words such as "believe," "expect," "future," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "foresee," "may," "could," "should," "will," "potential," "continue," or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe objectives, plans, or goals also are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of Skyline Champion. Skyline Champion cautions investors that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, implied, or projected by such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include regional, national and international economic, financial, public health and labor conditions, and the following: supply-related issues, including prices and availability of materials; labor-related issues; inflationary pressures in the North American economy; the cyclicality and seasonality of the housing industry and its sensitivity to changes in general economic or other business conditions; demand fluctuations in the housing industry, including as a result of actual or anticipated increases in homeowner borrowing rates; the possible unavailability of additional capital when needed; competition and competitive pressures; changes in consumer preferences for Skyline Champion’s products or Skyline Champion’s failure to gauge those preferences; quality problems, including the quality of parts sourced from suppliers and related liability and reputational issues; data security breaches, cybersecurity attacks, and other information technology disruptions; the potential disruption of operations caused by the conversion to new information systems; the extensive regulation affecting the production and sale of factory-built housing and the effects of possible changes in laws with which Skyline Champion must comply; the potential impact of natural disasters on sales and raw material costs; the risks associated with mergers and acquisitions, including integration of operations and information systems; periodic inventory adjustments by, and changes to relationships with, independent retailers; changes in interest and foreign exchange rates; insurance coverage and cost issues; the possibility that all or part of Skyline Champion’s intangible assets, including goodwill, might become impaired; the possibility that Skyline Champion’s risk management practices may leave Skyline Champion exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks; the potential disruption to Skyline Champion’s business caused by public health issues, such as an epidemic or pandemic, and resulting government actions; and other
risks set forth in the “Risk Factors” section, the “Legal Proceedings” section, the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section, and other sections, as applicable, in Skyline Champion’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, including Skyline Champion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 previously filed with the SEC, as well as in Skyline Champion’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with or furnished to the SEC.
If any of these risks or uncertainties materializes or if any of the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements proves to be incorrect, then the developments and future events concerning Skyline Champion set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Skyline Champion anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Skyline Champion’s expectations and beliefs to change. Skyline Champion assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless obligated to do so under the federal securities laws.

Jenkins Stock Consideration (in the case of Dana Jenkins); and
WHEREAS, the Company and Recipients acknowledge and agree that all of the Shares (as defined below), when and if issued, shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and representations set forth below, the Company and Recipients agree as follows:
1. Shares. All of the Shares, when and if issued, shall be deemed issued to the Recipients as fully paid and non-assessable shares and, subject to Section 2 below, each Recipient shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, all rights to vote the Shares during the period the Shares are held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund. In addition to the Acquired Shares issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the term “Shares” shall include all new, substituted or additional securities received in replacement of the Acquired Shares, whether as a stock dividend or as a result of any stock split, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange for other securities, by reclassification or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities to which each Recipient is entitled by reason of such Recipient’s ownership of Shares; provided, however, that such new, substituted or additional securities received by reason of Regional’s ownership of Shares held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund subject to the same terms and conditions as the Shares held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund at the time of such receipt.
2. Restrictions. The Shares shall be subject, in addition to restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws, to the following transfer restrictions:
2.1 (i) The Shares shall be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation D and Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and may not be offered or sold unless such offer or sale is registered under the Act or an exemption from registration is available; (ii) the provisions of Rule 144 under the Act in so far as they permit resale of the Shares only under limited circumstances, including that such Shares have been held, fully paid, by the seller for at least six months after issuance of such Shares before resale pursuant to Rule 144 and then may be resold only in accordance with other applicable requirements of Rule 144 (and any other applicable legal requirements), and Recipient shall not offer or sell any such Shares before the delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel whose identity is acceptable to the Company, which opinion is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that all such requirements have been satisfied; (iii) each Recipient hereby agrees to comply with the requirements of Rule 144 applicable to an affiliate of the Company (even if such Recipient is not an affiliate of the Company under the Act) that impose limitations on the amount of securities sold
in any three-month period by an affiliate of the Company under Rule 144(e); and (iv) Recipient hereby agrees to not permit the Shares to be encumbered by any Lien (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), except for any Liens on the Shares as a result of the Securities Purchase Agreement, within six months following issuance of such Shares;
2.2 Heath Jenkins shall be considered a “Section 16 executive officer” for purposes of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”), shall comply with all time, place and manner restrictions on the sale of Common Stock and other securities set forth in the Insider Trading Policy and, without limiting the foregoing, shall be prohibited from conducting any sale of the Shares or any other shares of Common Stock held by Heath Jenkins other than during a “Window Period” (as defined in the Insider Trading Policy); the Company may, at any time, impose a “blackout” period pursuant to the Insider Trading Policy, during which period buying, selling or otherwise transferring securities by a specified group of insiders, which group of insiders may include Heath Jenkins, would be considered inappropriate; provided, however, that the restrictions stated in this Section 2.2 shall expire with respect to Heath Jenkins upon the earlier of (a) the date of termination of Heath Jenkin’s employment with the Company or any of its affiliates or (b) a Company determination that the Insider Trading Policy no longer applies to Heath Jenkins;
2.3 The Shares shall be subject to any stock ownership and holding guidelines that may be adopted by the Company and may be in effect from time to time with respect to directors, officers or employees of the Company (“Ownership Guidelines”); by accepting or being deemed to have accepted the Shares, each Recipient acknowledges and agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of any applicable Ownership Guidelines; and
2.4 Regional shall comply with the terms and conditions for resale of the Shares provided for in the Escrow Agreement.
2.5 Except that a Permitted Transfer is permitted under this Section 2.5 in any amount and at any time (subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement), no Recipient shall Transfer any Shares until the first anniversary of the Closing Date; from the first anniversary of the Closing Date to the second anniversary, a Recipient may Transfer one-third of the Shares that such Recipient owned beneficially on the first anniversary; from the second anniversary of the Closing Date to the third anniversary, a Recipient may Transfer all but one-third of the Shares that such Recipient owned beneficially on the first anniversary; and from and after the third anniversary, a Recipient may Transfer any and all other Shares. For the purposes of this Agreement: “Transfer” means (a) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to any Shares, (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b); and “Permitted Transfer” means (i) a Transfer to the Recipient’s direct or indirect Affiliates or to the estates of any of the foregoing, (ii) a Transfer by bona fide gift to a member of the Recipient’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is such Recipient or members of such Recipient’s immediate family for estate planning purposes, (iii) a Transfer by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of the Recipient, (iv) a Transfer pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) a Transfer to the Company, (vi) a pledge of Shares as security or collateral in connection with a borrowing or the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Recipient, (vii) a Transfer pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, stock sale, recapitalization, consolidation or other transaction (but if such tender offer, merger, recapitalization, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, then Shares subject to this Agreement will remain subject to this Agreement), or (viii) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (provided that such plan does not permit the transfer of Shares in breach of any provision of this Agreement); provided, however, that, in the case of any Transfer pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), it will be a condition to any such Transfer that the transferee or donee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including the restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) to the same extent as if such Person were a party hereto. In the case of any Recipient that is an entity, Transfers that are Permitted Transfers pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will include Transfer(s) by the Person(s) that is (or are) the ultimate beneficial owner(s) of all or a portion of the equity interests in such Recipient, and therefore any such Transfer will be deemed a Permitted Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.5.

Regional Homes’ strong presence in Alabama and Mississippi strengthens Skyline Champion’s market positioning as a leading provider of attainable housing solutions by expanding our captive retail and manufacturing distribution in this large region. We expect this transaction to generate solid returns over time with meaningful stakeholder value creation from day one, supported by Regional Homes’ attractive margin profile, its talented team, as well as available synergy capture.”
