Introductory Note

 

On September 2, 2021, Redwire Corporation (“Redwire”) announced that the previously announced transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below) were consummated. In connection with the closing of the merger, the registrant changed its name from Genesis Park Acquisition Corp. (“GPAC”) to Redwire Corporation.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As disclosed under the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal” beginning at page 96 of the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 11, 2021 by GPAC, Redwire entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 25, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time “Merger Agreement”), by and among Shepard Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis Park Acquisition Corp., Cosmos Intermediate, LLC (“Cosmos”), a Delaware limited lability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of AE Red Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AE Red Holdings”), GPAC and AE Red Holdings, whereby (a) Merger Sub, merged with and into Cosmos, (the “First Merger”), with Cosmos as the surviving company in the First Merger, and (b) Cosmos merged with and into GPAC (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” or the “Merger”), with GPAC as the surviving entity in the Second Merger. The Merger Agreement is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01 of this Report discusses the consummation of the transactions and various other transactions and events contemplated by the Merger Agreement which took place on September 2, 2021 (the “Closing”).

 

Amendment to Term Loan Agreement

 

On September 2, 2020 and substantially contemporaneous with consummation of the Merger, Redwire Holdings, LLC (the “Lead Borrower” and together with each other borrower, the “Borrowers”), a subsidiary of Redwire, Redwire Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“Parent”) and certain subsidiaries of the Lead Borrower entered into the Second Amendment (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) which amends that certain Credit Agreement, (as previously amended, supplemented or modified, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of October 28, 2020, by and among the Borrowers, the Parent, certain subsidiaries of the Lead Borrower, the lenders party thereto and Adams Street Credit Advisors LP, as administrative agent and collateral agent.

 

The material terms of the Credit Facility Amendment include, among other things:

 

  an amendment to the financial covenant to provide that the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Lead Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries as of the last day of any quarter may not exceed 6.50:1.00 (the “Financial Covenant”);

 

  removal of the cap on the amount of unrestricted cash which may be netted for purposes of the Financial Covenant and any other provision requiring compliance with a consolidated total net leverage ratio, consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio or consolidated secured net leverage ratio;

 

  an amendment to the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to provide that (i) adjustments for restructuring charges, retention, severance and run-rate synergies and cost saves shall be limited to 30% of Consolidated EBITDA (after giving effect to such adjustment) and (i) the adjustment for the proforma results of new contracts shall be limited to 30% of Consolidated EBITDA (after giving effect to such adjustment); and

 

2

 

 

  a reset of the call protection to provide that the Borrowers must pay a 2% premium on any voluntary prepayments of the credit facility, mandatory prepayments resulting from the incurrence of unpermitted debt or payments upon acceleration occurring prior to September 2, 2022 and a 1% premium on any voluntary prepayments of the credit facility prepayments mandatory prepayments resulting from the incurrence of unpermitted debt or payments upon acceleration occurring on or after September 2, 2022 but prior to September 2, 2023.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On September 1, 2021, GPAC held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the GPAC shareholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination (as defined by the Proxy Statement/Prospectus), including (a) adopting the Merger Agreement and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

 

At the Special Meeting, holders of 6,510,755 shares of GPAC common stock sold in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) exercised their rights to convert those shares to cash at a conversion price of approximately $10.15 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $66,107,775 million.

 

Each outstanding share of common stock of GPAC was converted into one share of common stock of Redwire. The outstanding warrants of GPAC automatically entitle the holders to purchase shares of common stock of Redwire upon consummation of the transactions.

 

Immediately after giving effect to the transactions (including as a result of the conversions described above and certain redemptions of Redwire common stock immediately prior to the Closing), there were 59,661,273 shares of common stock and 15,920,979 warrants issued and outstanding. Upon the Closing, GPAC’s units, common stock and warrants ceased trading, and Redwire’s shares of common stock and warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “RDW” and “RDW WS,” respectively. As of the closing date, AE Red Holdings owned approximately 62% of Redwire’s outstanding shares of common stock and the former stockholders of GPAC (excluding the PIPE Investors, as defined below) owned approximately 10% of Redwire’s outstanding shares of common stock.

 

As noted above, the per share conversion price of approximately $10.15 for holders of Public Shares electing redemption was paid out of Redwire’s trust account, which had a balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $166,292,257 million. Following the payment of redemptions and after giving effect to the $85.00 million PIPE financing described below, Redwire had approximately $185,184,482 million of available cash for disbursement in connection with the transactions. Of these funds, approximately $29 million was used to pay certain transaction expenses and $75 million was paid to AE Red Holdings as cash consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

 

Investor Rights Agreement

 

AE Red Holdings and certain of its affiliates (“Partners”) and Genesis Park Holdings, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“Sponsor”), have been granted certain rights, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement (“Investor Rights Agreement”) entered into on March 25, 2021, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Redwire Board of Directors (“Redwire Board”) is comprised of seven directors, of which (i) five of such directors were initially designated by the Partners and (ii) two of such directors were initially designated by the Sponsor, as further set forth by the Investor Rights Agreement. Further, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, Redwire has agreed to register certain securities held by the parties to the Investor Rights Agreement, including (i) all shares of Redwire common stock, (ii) all private placement warrants held by the Sponsor and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) and all other warrants to purchase Redwire common stock, (iii) any shares of Redwire common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants and all other warrants, (iv) any equity securities of Redwire or any subsidiary of Redwire that may be issued or distributed or be issuable with respect to the securities referred to in the preceding clauses by way of conversion, dividend, stock split or other distribution, merger, consolidation, exchange, recapitalization or reclassification or similar transaction and (v) any other registrable securities, in each case for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and to have the securities covered thereby registered for resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Partners will also be entitled to unlimited demand rights at any time a shelf registration statement is not effective and all holders will be entitled to customary piggy-back rights, subject to customary cut-back provisions. Additionally, holders have agreed to not to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of registrable securities for 180 days; provided, the foregoing transfer restrictions will not apply under certain conditions.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the information contained in this Report, or incorporated herein by reference, may constitute forward-looking statements for the purpose of the federal securities laws. These statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Investors should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

 

· discuss future expectations;

 

· contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

 

· state other “forward-looking” information.

 

Redwire believes it is important to communicate its expectations to its securityholders. However, there may be events in the future that Redwire’s management is not able to predict accurately or over which Redwire has no control. The risk factors and cautionary language contained in this Report, and incorporated herein by reference, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in such forward-looking statements, including among other things:

 

5

 

 

· our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter;

 

· our projections of future financial results are based on a number of assumptions by our management, some or all of which may prove to be incorrect, and actual results may differ materially and adversely from such projections;

 

· if we are unable to successfully integrate recently completed and future acquisitions or successfully select, execute or integrate future acquisitions into the business, our operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected;

 

· the market for in-space infrastructure services has not been established with precision, is still emerging and may not achieve the growth potential that we expect or may grow more slowly than expected;

 

· we may not be able to convert orders in backlog into revenue;

 

· if we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be impaired and our intellectual property applications for registration may not issue or be registered, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting projects similar to ours;

 

· protecting and defending against intellectual property claims could have a material adverse effect on our business;

 

· our business is subject to a wide variety of extensive and evolving government laws and regulations, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business;

 

· we have government customers, which subjects us to risks including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions and penalties;

 

· data breaches or incidents involving our technology could damage our business, reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations;

 

· we are highly dependent on our senior management team and other highly skilled personnel, and if we are not successful in attracting or retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy;

 

· our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or any guidance that we may provide;

 

· we will incur significant expenses and capital expenditures in the future to execute our business plan and we may be unable to adequately control our expenses;

 

· our ability to successfully implement our business plan will depend on a number of factors outside of our control;

 

· our management has limited experience in operating a public company;

 

· we may not be able to successfully develop our technology and services;

 

6

 

 

· competition with existing or new companies could cause downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share;

 

· the current pandemic outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, may continue to disrupt and adversely affect our business;

 

· adverse publicity stemming from any incident involving Redwire or our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

 

· we may not be able to adapt to and satisfy customer demands in a timely and cost-effective manner;

 

· we may not be able to respond to commercial industry cycles in terms of cost structure, manufacturing capacity, and/or personnel needs;

 

· any delays in the development, design, engineering and manufacturing of our products and services may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;

 

· we may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;

 

· the benefits of the Business Combination may not be realized to the extent currently anticipated by us, or at all. The ability to recognize any such benefits may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of us to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain our management and key employees;

 

· the costs related to the Business Combination could be significantly higher than currently anticipated; and

 

· substantial future sales or other issuances of our common stock could depress the market for our common stock.

 

Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.

Jonathan E. Baliff. Mr. Baliff has served as President, Chief Financial Officer and Director of GPAC since November 2020. He has been a leader in the aviation and infrastructure sector for over 25 years, acting as a public company senior executive in addition to an investment and commercial banker. Most recently, Mr. Baliff was at Bristow (formerly NYSE:BRS), the world’s largest commercial helicopter and industrial aviation company serving the energy and government sectors, where he served first as Chief Financial Officer from 2010 to 2014 and President and Chief Executive Officer from 2014 to 2019. During his time at Bristow, the company consistently led its peers in safety, operational and financial performance with over $1.5 billion in business and long-term contract acquisitions. Despite significant turmoil in the offshore transportation services market following the 2014 global oil price collapse, Bristow continued to recognize revenue growth while Bristow’s peer group’s revenues fell by an average of ~10% annually with most competitors filing for bankruptcy over the same period. Bristow filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2019. Mr. Baliff is currently named as a defendant in a class-action lawsuit against Bristow and certain of its former directors and officers, which is currently entering mediation. A related derivative lawsuit has already been dismissed. Prior to joining Bristow, Mr. Baliff acted as Executive Vice President for Strategy at NRG (NYSE:NRG), the largest independent electric power generator in the United States, from 2007 to 2010. As both a banker to and an employee of NRG, Mr. Baliff was part of the team that led the company out of bankruptcy in 2004 to become a member of the Fortune 500 and systematically changed the company’s business by pursuing a retail customer and low-carbon energy strategy. This strategy included completing over $5 billion in acquisitions including the purchase of Reliant Energy and Green Mountain Energy, growing the retail footprint of NRG to over three million customers. Prior to NRG, Mr. Baliff acted as a Managing Director in Credit Suisse’s Global Energy Group from 1996 to 2007 and an associate in J.P. Morgan’s Natural Resources Group from 1995 to 1996, where he was responsible for corporate finance and M&A executions during the era of natural gas and electric utility deregulation, with over $50 billion in M&A transactions and financings completed. Additionally, Mr. Baliff served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 1985 to 1993 as an aviator flying the F-4 Phantom fighter aircraft. Currently, Mr. Baliff serves on the board of directors and Risk Committee of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:TCBI), the parent company of Texas Capital Bank. Mr. Baliff has served on the Board of TCBI since 2017, during which period the company generated an average annual increase in net income available to common shareholders of 29.1%. Mr. Baliff holds a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Master of Science in Foreign Service from Georgetown University. We determined that Mr. Baliff’s industry and public company experience qualifies him to serve as a director on the Redwire Board.

 

John S. Bolton. Mr. Bolton has acted as an Advisor to GPAC since November 2020. Mr. Bolton has over 30 years of industry executive experience, including seven years as President of Honeywell’s (NYSE:HON) Aerospace Air Transport & Regional business, a $4.7 billion revenue per year global business enterprise that provides original equipment and aftermarket products and services to the aviation segments.

Mr. Bolton is currently the Owner and President of Blu Sky Edge Corp, an aviation commercial propulsion engine leasing and product sales company. Mr. Bolton holds a B.S. from Clarkson University in New York and an M.B.A. from Duke University.

The PIPE Financing closed on September 2, 2021 and the issuance of an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of GPAC common stock occurred immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the shares automatically converted into common stock of Redwire.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), GPAC’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed on September 2, 2021 that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Effective September 2, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021. PwC previously served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Cosmos Intermediate, LLC prior to the Business Combination.

Withum’s report on GPAC’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 29, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the period from July 29, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through September 2, 2021, there were no disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports covering such periods. In addition, no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for a material weakness in GPAC’s internal control over financial reporting as a result of GPAC’s restatement of its financial statements to reclassify GPAC’s warrants as described in the Form 10-K/A filed May 10, 2021 occurred from July 29, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through September 2, 2021.

 

During the period from July 29, 2020 (GPAC’s inception) through December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through September 2, 2021, GPAC did not consult PwC regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on GPAC’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to GPAC by PwC that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by Redwire in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

Redwire provided Withum with a copy of the disclosures made pursuant to this Item 4.01 prior to the filing of this Report and requested that Withum furnish a letter addressed to the Commission, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1, stating whether it agrees with such disclosures, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

A.            The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. Except as otherwise required by this Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, whenever any vote of the holders of stock of the Corporation is required to amend or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, such amendment or repeal shall require the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, and the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, at any time when the Partners and their Permitted Transferees (each as defined in that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2021, by and among the Corporation, the Partners, Genesis Park Holdings (“Sponsor”), and any other parties thereto from time to time (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Investor Rights Agreement”)) beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, in addition to any vote required by applicable law, the following provisions in this Certificate of Incorporation may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded, in whole or in part, or any provision inconsistent therewith or herewith may be adopted, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class: this Article V, Article VI and Article IX. For the purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, beneficial ownership of shares shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Investor Rights Agreement or in the Bylaws, the Bylaws may be amended or repealed, and new Bylaws may be adopted, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such amendment, repeal or adoption, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors recommends that stockholders approve such amendment or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote of the stockholders, at any time when the Partners and their Permitted Transferees beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 50% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required herein (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock), by the Bylaws or by applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to amend, alter, rescind, change, add or repeal, in whole or in part, any provision of the Bylaws or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith; provided, however, that no Bylaw hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board of Directors that was valid at the time of such act prior to the adoption of such Bylaw.

ARTICLE VI
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

A.            Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, and subject to any restrictions provided in the Investor Rights Agreement, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the total number of directors shall be determined from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors; provided, that any determination by the Board of Directors to increase or decrease the total number of directors shall require the approval of 66 2/3% of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present. The directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with such division effective immediately following the election of initial directors by the incorporator. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022, Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023 and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024. Commencing with the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022, the directors of the class to be elected at each annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. In no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(2)            For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.03(A)(1)(d), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing and otherwise in proper form in accordance with this Section 2.03(A)(2) to the Secretary of the Corporation, and, in the case of business other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, such other business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action under applicable law. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary not earlier than the Close of Business on the 120th calendar day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting nor later than the Close of Business on the 90th calendar day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting (and the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for calendar year 2021 shall be deemed to have been held on September 1, 2021 for purposes of this Section 2.03); provided, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 calendar days before or more than 70 calendar days after the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year (other than in connection with calendar year 2021), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the Close of Business on the 120th calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the Close of Business on the later of the 90th calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting or the tenth calendar day following the calendar day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. For the avoidance of doubt, a stockholder shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these Bylaws. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at an annual meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at an annual meeting on behalf of the beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03(A)(2) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, then a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.03 shall be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the Secretary of the Corporation not later than the Close of Business on the tenth calendar day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

If shares of stock of the Corporation shall be certificated, such certificates shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the Corporation represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, any two authorized officers of the Corporation (it being understood that each of the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary, and any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall be an authorized officer for such purpose), certifying the number and class of shares of stock of the Corporation owned by such holder. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. The Board of Directors shall have the power to appoint one or more transfer agents and/or registrars for the transfer or registration of certificates of stock of any class, and may require stock certificates to be countersigned or registered by one or more of such transfer agents and/or registrars. The name of the holder of record of the shares represented thereby, with the number of such shares and the date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the Corporation. With respect to all uncertificated shares, the name of the holder of record of such uncertificated shares represented, with the number of such shares and the date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the Corporation.

 

Section 5.02     Shares Without Certificates. If the Board of Directors chooses to issue shares of stock without certificates, the Corporation, if required by the DGCL, shall, within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of shares without certificates, send the stockholder a statement of the information required by the DGCL. The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares of stock by electronic or other means not involving the issuance of certificates, provided that the use of such system by the Corporation is permitted in accordance with applicable law.

 

Section 5.03     Transfer of Shares. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives, upon surrender to the Corporation by delivery thereof (to the extent evidenced by a physical stock certificate) to the person in charge of the stock and transfer books and ledgers. Certificates representing such shares, if any, shall be cancelled and new certificates, if the shares are to be certificated, shall thereupon be issued. Shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are not represented by a certificate shall be transferred in accordance with any procedures adopted by the Corporation or its agent and applicable law. A record shall be made of each transfer. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates are presented, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so. The Corporation shall have power and authority to make such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or proper concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of stock of the Corporation.

A new certificate or uncertificated shares of stock may be issued in the place of any certificate previously issued by the Corporation that has become mutilated upon the surrender by such owner of such mutilated certificate and, if required by the Corporation, the posting of a bond by such owner in an amount sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it in connection therewith.

 

17

 

Section 5.05     List of Stockholders Entitled To Vote. The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting at least ten days prior to the meeting (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (b) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 5.05 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 5.06     Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.

 

(A)            In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

 

(B)            In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than 60 days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

18

 

(C)            Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

 

Section 5.07     Registered Stockholders. Prior to the surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock or notification to the Corporation of the transfer of uncertificated shares with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner of such share or shares as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner of such share or shares. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

 

Article VI
Notice and Waiver of Notice

 

Section 6.01     Notice. If mailed, notice to stockholders shall be deemed given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Other forms of notice shall be deemed given as provided in the DGCL. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL.

 

Section 6.02     Waiver of Notice. A written waiver of any notice, signed by a stockholder or director, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether given before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance at any meeting (in person or by remote communication) shall constitute waiver of notice except attendance for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Article VII
Indemnification

 

Section 7.01     Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a director or officer of Genesis Park Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company) or, while a director or officer of the Corporation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a director or officer of Genesis Park Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company), is or was serving at the request of the Corporation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a director or officer of Genesis Park Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company) as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.03 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses or with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by such indemnitee, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article VII shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary of the Corporation appointed pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws, and to any Vice President, Treasurer, Assistant Secretary, Assistant Treasurer, other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws or other person designated by the title of “Vice President” of the Corporation, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

 

20

 

Section 7.02     Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.01, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by the indemnitee in appearing at, participating in or defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VII (which shall be governed by Section 7.03) (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires or in the case of an advance made in a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made solely upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement of expenses under Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 or otherwise.

 

Section 7.03     Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) 60 days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation or (ii) 20 days after a claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding (or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein), indemnitee shall be indemnified for his or her expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in such defense, and the Corporation may not assert the failure to satisfy a standard of conduct as a basis to deny indemnification, or as a basis to recover amounts advanced, in connection with such defense.

Section 7.04     Indemnification Not Exclusive.

 

(A)            The provision of indemnification to or the advancement of expenses and costs to any indemnitee under this Article VII, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article VII, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses and costs to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity.

 

(B)            Given that certain jointly indemnifiable claims (as defined below) may arise due to the service of the indemnitee as a director or officer of the Corporation at the request of the indemnitee-related entities (as defined below), the Corporation shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any such jointly indemnifiable claims, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, irrespective of any right of recovery the indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities. Under no circumstance shall the Corporation be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the indemnitee-related entities and no right of advancement or recovery the indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the indemnitee or the obligations of the Corporation hereunder. In the event that any of the indemnitee-related entities shall make any payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, the indemnitee-related entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee against the Corporation, and the indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the indemnitee-related entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each of the indemnitee-related entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII, entitled to enforce this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII.

 

For purposes of this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(1)            The term “indemnitee-related entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Corporation or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which the indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Corporation or at the Corporation’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described herein) from whom an indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Corporation may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.

 

(2)            The term “jointly indemnifiable claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from both the indemnitee-related entities and the Corporation pursuant to Delaware law, any agreement or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Corporation or the indemnitee-related entities, as applicable.

 

22

 

Section 7.05     Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article VII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

Section 7.06     Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

 

Section 7.07     Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

Exhibit 10.4

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 2, 2021, between Redwire Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [            ] (“Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, officers and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the corporation or business enterprise itself. The Bylaws of the Company (as amended or restated, the “Bylaws”) require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”). The Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers of the Company and other persons with respect to indemnification;

 

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, as well as any rights of Indemnitee under any director’s or officer’s liability insurance policy, and this Agreement shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; [and]

 

 

 

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protections available under the Bylaws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve in such capacity; Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified[.][; and]

 

[WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by AE Industrial Partners, LP (“AE”) or affiliates of AE which Indemnitee and AE intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company’s acknowledgment of and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board.]1

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as a director or officer from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Indemnity of Indemnitee. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, the Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, if Indemnitee was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to, or otherwise becomes involved in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined). In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:

 

(a)            Proceedings other than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section l(a) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant, or otherwise becomes involved in, in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any indemnification provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, vote of the Company’s stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

 

(b)            Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine, upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

(c)            Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to or participant in and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 1(c) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 

(d)            Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

2.            Additional Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, in connection with any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) that Indemnitee is, or is threatened to made, a party to, or participant in. The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, other than those set forth in Section 9 hereof, shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.

 

3.            Contribution.

 

(a)            Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not, without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, enter into any such settlement of any Proceeding (in whole or in part) unless such settlement (i) provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee and (ii) does not impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee.

 

3 

 

 

(b)            Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

 

(c)            To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

 

4.            Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness, is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, or is otherwise asked to participate, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

4 

 

 

5.            Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 7(d)), the Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (or part of any Proceeding) not initiated by Indemnitee or any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee with the prior approval of the Board as provided in Section 9(d), within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. Any advances pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free and shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. In accordance with Section 7(d) hereof, advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) by the Company pursuant to this Section 5, if and only to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. This Section 5 shall not apply to claim by Indemnitee for Expenses in a matter for which indemnity and advancement of Expenses is excluded pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

 

6.            Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

 

(a)            To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company.

 

(b)            Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the Board: (1) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum; (2) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum; (3) if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (4) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made by Independent Counsel.

 

5 

 

 

(c)            In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to the Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined (as defined below), and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the Person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) has determined that such objection is without merit. If (i) an Independent Counsel is to make the determination of entitlement pursuant to this Section 6, and (ii) within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected (including as a result of an objection to the selected Independent Counsel), either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a Person selected by the court or by such other Person as the court shall designate, and the Person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the Person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

 

(d)          In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Person making such determination shall to the fullest extent permitted by law presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof to overcome such presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

6 

 

 

(e)            Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(f)            If the Person empowered or selected under this Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the Person making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(f) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat.

 

(g)            Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Person making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such Person upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Person making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

7 

 

 

(h)            The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 

(i)            The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

7.            Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

(a)            In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, or (v) the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification, contribution or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

 

(b)            In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b) hereof. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 7, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose other than to establish its compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 7, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 5 hereof until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).

 

8 

 

 

(c)            If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading, in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

(d)            In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, incurs costs, in a judicial or arbitration proceeding or otherwise, attempting to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on Indemnitee’s behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 12 hereof) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such efforts, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. It is the intent of the Company that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company if Indemnitee is wholly successful on the underlying claims; if Indemnitee is not wholly successful on the underlying claims, then such indemnification shall be only to the extent Indemnitee is successful on such underlying claims or otherwise as permitted by law, whichever is greater.

 

(e)            The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

8.            Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; [Primacy of Indemnification;] Insurance; Subrogation.

 

(a)            The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (as amended or restated, the “Charter”), the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a resolution of directors or otherwise, of the Company and (ii) shall be interpreted independently of, and without reference to, any other such rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the DGCL, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

(b)            The Company shall, if commercially reasonable, obtain and maintain in effect during the entire period for which the Company is obligated to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement, one or more policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies to provide the directors and officers of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts and omissions and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such officer or director under such policy or policies. In all such insurance policies, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee with the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors and officers. At the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

(c)            [The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by AE and certain affiliates that, directly or indirectly, (i) are controlled by, (ii) control or (iii) are under common control with, AE (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). With respect to any amounts that are subject to indemnity under this Agreement and also subject to an indemnity obligation owed by Fund Indemnitors, the Company hereby agrees (i) that, as compared the Fund Indemnitors, it is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any rights to indemnification provided to Indemnitee herein (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee is secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Charter or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(c).]

 

10 

 

 

(d)            [Except as provided in Section 8(c) above,] in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee [(other than against the Fund Indemnitors)], who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

(e)            [Except as provided in Section 8(c) above,] the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement of Expenses is provided) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

 

(f)            [Except as provided in Section 8(c) above,] the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

 

9.            Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim involving Indemnitee:

 

(a)            for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; [provided, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors set forth in Section 8(c) above;] or

 

(b)            for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (as hereinafter defined), or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

 

11 

 

 

(c)            for reimbursement to the Company of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company in each case as required under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in connection with an accounting restatement of the Company or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act);

 

(d)            in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company has joined in or the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) such payment arises in connection with any mandatory counterclaim or cross claim brought or raised by Indemnitee in any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding), (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, or (iv) the Proceeding is one to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement or;

 

(e)            any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act.

 

10.            Non−Disclosure of Payments. Except as expressly required by applicable law, neither party shall disclose any payments under this Agreement unless prior approval of the other party is obtained. If any payment information must be disclosed, the Company shall afford the Indemnitee an opportunity to review all such disclosures and, if requested, to explain in such statement any mitigating circumstances regarding the events to be reported.

 

11.            Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue until and terminate upon the later of (i) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or a director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Company, and (ii) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto) in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 hereof relating thereto (including any rights of appeal of any such Proceeding). Termination of this Agreement shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such termination. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise at the Company’s request.

(b)            This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter, the Bylaws, any directors’ and officers’ insurance maintained by the Company and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

 

(c)            The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

(d)            The Company and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith.

15.            Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

16 

 

  

16.            Notice By Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.

 

17.            Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

19.            Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, irrevocably The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801 as its agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

Business Overview

 

We manufacture and deliver space infrastructure to our customers. We offer a broad array of products and services, many of which have been enabling space missions since the 1960s and have been flight-proven on over 150 satellite missions, including missions such as the GPS constellation, New Horizons and Perseverance. We are also a provider of innovative technologies with the potential to help transform the economics of space and create new markets for its exploration and commercialization. One example of this is our patented suite of in-space manufacturing and robotic assembly technologies (referred to herein as on-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing, or “OSAM”). Other examples of our proprietary technologies include deployable structures, human-rated camera systems and advanced payload adapters.

 

We are a space infrastructure company that has grown organically while also continuing to integrate several acquisitions from a fragmented landscape of space-focused technology companies with innovative capabilities and deep flight heritage. Many of our technologies are flight-proven and have been adopted by a broad range of customers across national security, civil and commercial space. Combining heritage and innovation in this way has enabled us to accelerate the delivery of disruptive technologies.

 

We believe the space economy is at an inflection point. The reduction of launch costs over the last decade has eliminated the single largest economic barrier to entry for the expanded utilization of space, and the increasing cadence of launches provides more flexible, reliable access. This lower cost access has resulted in both the expansion and modernization of traditional national security and civil uses of space and has enticed new commercial entrants to invest substantial capital to develop new space-based business models. Our goal is to provide a full suite of infrastructure solutions, including mission-critical components, services and systems that will contribute to a dramatic expansion of the space-based economy. We believe that our products and services are essential to the growth of space as a strategic military and commercial domain, as well as a frontier for science and exploration.

 

Recent Developments

 

Acquisition Activity

 

On March 2, 2020, the Company acquired the business unit of Adcole Corporation, Adcole Maryland Aerospace, LLC, which was subsequently renamed Adcole Space, LLC (“Adcole”). Adcole Maryland Aerospace, LLC was established in 2017 after a merger between a division of Adcole Corporation (founded in 1957) and Maryland Aerospace Incorporated and has been at the forefront of space exploration since its early history, providing satellite components that are integral to the mission success of hundreds of low-Earth orbit (“LEO”), geosynchronous (“GEO”) and interplanetary spacecraft.

Merger Agreement

 

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among GPAC, Shepard Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GPAC (“Merger Sub”), Cosmos and Holdings.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto entered into a business combination transaction by which, (i) GPAC domesticated as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands (the “Domestication”), (ii) Merger Sub merged with and into Cosmos, with Cosmos being the surviving entity in the merger (the “First Merger”), and (iii) immediately following the First Merger, Cosmos merged with and into GPAC, with GPAC being the surviving entity in the merger (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” or the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). In this current report on Form 8-K, we refer to the Domestication and the Transactions, collectively, as the “Business Combination” and “New Redwire” refers to GPAC after giving effect to the Business Combination.

 

 

 

 

The aggregate consideration paid to Holdings (the “Closing Merger Consideration”) was paid in a combination of cash and stock consideration. The cash consideration was comprised of $75.0 million (such amount, the “Closing Cash Consideration”). The remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration was comprised of (i) 37,200,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of GPAC (the “New Redwire Common Stock,” and such shares, the “Closing Share Consideration”) and (ii) 2,000,000 warrants to purchase one share of New Redwire Common Stock per warrant (the “Closing Warrant Consideration”), with such amount of warrants corresponding to the forfeiture of certain warrants acquired by GPAC’s Sponsor, Genesis Park Holdings, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) in connection with GPAC’s initial public offering. At the effective time of the First Merger, the units of Cosmos were cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, in the aggregate, the Closing Cash Consideration, the Closing Share Consideration and the Closing Warrant Consideration.

 

On September 2, 2021, the Company consummated the previously announced Merger pursuant to the business combination agreement dated March 25, 2021 by and among Genesis Park Acquisition Corp, Shepard Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis Park Acquisition Corp, Cosmos and Holdings. Upon the closing of the Merger, Genesis Park Acquisition Corp was renamed to Redwire Corporation (“New Redwire”). The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in which Genesis Park Acquisition Corp is treated as the acquired company. A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company in many respects. The Company was deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, New Redwire.

 

Refer to Note T – Subsequent Events of the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

 

COVID-19 Operational Posture and Current Impact

 

As aerospace manufacturing, communications and defense are federal critical infrastructure sectors, we have kept some of our workforce onsite to maintain critical operations. As such, our operations continue to expose us to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Authorities around the world have implemented numerous measures to try to reduce the spread of the virus and such measures have impacted and continue to impact us, our suppliers, and consumers. While some of these measures have been lifted or eased in certain jurisdictions, we continue to evaluate the ongoing impact of the pandemic.

 

In response to this exposure, our pandemic crisis response plan remains activated to protect the health and safety of our team members, families, customers, and communities, while continuing to meet our commitments to customers. Our mitigation strategies cover employee preparation, travel, security, supply chain, the ability to work virtually offsite, facility preparation and communications. In doing so, we continue to diligently follow safety protocols, including social distancing, alternating shifts, temperature checks, deep cleaning facilities and employee isolation strategies for essential personnel working at our sites. Additionally, we are encouraging employees to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.

 

Accordingly, given the ongoing nature of the outbreak, at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude of the ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, financial performance, and operating results. The near and long-term impacts of the current pandemic on the cost and schedule of the numerous programs in our existing backlog and the timing of new awards remains uncertain. We are observing stress in our supplier base inside and outside the U.S. We will continue to monitor and assess the actual and potential COVID-19 impacts on employees, customers, suppliers and the productivity of the work being done, all of which, to some extent, will impact revenues, estimated costs to complete projects, earnings and cash flow.

 

Results of Operations

 

Successor 2021 Period, Successor Q2 2020 Period, and Predecessor 2020 Period

 

Results of operations for the Successor 2021 Period include the results of Oakman and DPSS from the effective dates of the acquisitions as both entities were acquired during the period, and the results for Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor, and LoadPath from the beginning of the period. Results of operations for the Successor Q2 2020 Period include the results of Adcole, DSS and MIS from the effective date of the acquisition as the entities were acquired during the period. Results of operations for the Predecessor 2020 Period only include the results of MIS. Accordingly, the periods presented below are not directly comparable.

 

 

 

 

The following table sets forth results of our operations expressed in U.S. thousands of dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for the periods presented.

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues were $63.85 million for the Successor 2021 Period, as compared to $5.17 million for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and $16.65 million for the Predecessor 2020 Period. The increase in net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period is primarily driven by inclusion of net revenues from Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor, LoadPath, Oakman, and DPSS compared to the Successor Q2 2020 Period which only included net revenues of Adcole, DSS and MIS after their respective acquisition dates, and compared to the Predecessor 2020 Period which only included net revenues of MIS. Net revenue in the Successor 2021 Period includes $50.27 million from Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor, and LoadPath and $13.58 million from Oakman and DPSS which were acquired in January 2021 and February 2021, respectively.

 

 

 

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period was 75%, as compared to 67% for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and 76% for the Predecessor 2020 Period. We expect cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues to decline the remainder of 2021 due to a product mix that is expected to generate a higher gross profit margin. In the Predecessor 2020 Period, the high costs incurred for the Company’s largest contract during the period, the Archinaut One contract, contributed to a higher cost of sales margin than usual, compared to historical margins for the product mix at this business unit. In the Successor Q2 2020 Period, the product mix in the period is a comparably higher revenue margin than in some of the business units later acquired which are included in the Successor 2021 Period, contributing to a lower cost of sales margin for the Successor Q2 2020 Period when compared to the Successor 2021 Period.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period were 37%, as compared to 38% for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and 32% for the Predecessor 2020 Period. In the Successor 2021 Period, the increased expenses relate to higher spending for human capital and systems as we invested in our business development and centralized corporate functions at the beginning of the year to support near and long-term growth. As a result, we do not expect material incremental investment for the remainder of 2021, helping drive operating leverage as the business grows. In addition, higher expenses related to the capital market and advisory fees incurred for SPAC readiness of $6 million, compared to the lower selling, general and administrative expenses in the Successor Q2 2020 Period and Predecessor 2020 Period.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period were 3%, as compared to 10% for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and 2% for the Predecessor 2020 Period. The Company’s primary research and development projects relate to the next generation star tracker, camera systems, and software applications.

 

Contingent Earnout Expense

 

Earnout expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period were 17%, as compared to 0% for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and Predecessor 2020 Period. Earnout expense in the Successor 2021 Period relates to a settlement agreement the Company executed with the sellers of MIS regarding the contingent earnout payment set forth in the purchase agreement and the Roccor contingent earnout payment.

 

Transaction Expense

 

Transaction expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period were 4%, as compared to 106% for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and 0% for the Predecessor 2020 Period. The transaction expense incurred in the Successor 2021 Period were related to the acquisition of Oakman and DPSS. The transaction expense incurred in the Successor Q2 2020 Period were related to the acquisitions of Adcole, DSS and MIS, as well as costs associated with our evaluation of other acquisition opportunities. We expect to incur acquisition costs and other related expenses periodically in the future as we continue to seek acquisition opportunities to expand our technological capabilities. Transaction costs incurred by the acquired entities prior to the consummation of an acquisition are not reflected in our historical results of operations.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period was 5%, as compared to 0% for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and 0% for the Predecessor 2020 Period. The interest expense incurred for the Successor 2021 Period was primarily related to the Company entering into the amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement to increase the principal amount of the Adams Street Term Loan, as further discussed in our description of our liquidity and capital resources. The interest expense incurred for the Predecessor 2020 Period related to credit agreements with outstanding balances repaid prior to Redwire’s acquisition of MIS.

 

 

 

 

Other (Income) Expense, net

 

Other (income) expense, net as a percentage of net revenues was less than 1% for each of the Successor 2021 Period, Successor Q2 2020 Period and Predecessor 2020 Period. Other income for the Successor 2021 Period is primarily composed of LoadPath earnings from providing training programs.

 

Income Tax Benefit

 

Income tax benefit as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2021 Period was (4)%, as compared to (25)% for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and (2)% for the Predecessor 2020 Period.

 

The following table provides information regarding our income tax benefit during the periods indicated:

 

    Successor     Predecessor  
    Six month period ended
June 30, 2021
    Period from
February 10, 2020 to
June 30, 2020
    Period from January
 1, 2020 to June 21,
2020
 
Income tax benefit   $ (2,388 )   $ (1,278 )   $ (384 )
Effective tax rate     9.2 %     20.5 %     22.4 %

 

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the Successor 2021 Period compared to the Successor Q2 2020 and the Predecessor 2020 Period is primarily due to the impact of nondeductible transaction costs and earnout expense.

 

Refer to Note L – Income Taxes of the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

 

Successor 2020 Period, Predecessor 2020 Period, and Predecessor 2019 Period

 

Results of operations for the Successor 2020 Period include the results for Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor and LoadPath, from the effective acquisition date as all entities were acquired during the Successor 2020 Period. Results of operations for the Predecessor 2020 Period and the Predecessor 2019 Period include only the results of MIS prior to its effective acquisition date. Accordingly, the periods presented below are not directly comparable.

 

The following table sets forth results of our operations expressed in U.S. thousands of dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for the periods presented.

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues were $40.79 million for the Successor 2020 Period, as compared to $16.66 million for the Predecessor 2020 Period and $19.01 million for the Predecessor 2019 Period. The change was primarily driven by net revenues for the Successor 2020 Period, including net revenues related to Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor and LoadPath, which were acquired during the period, as compared to the Predecessor 2020 Period and Predecessor 2019 Period, which only included net revenues related to MIS. Net revenue in the Predecessor 2019 and Predecessor 2020 Periods is composed of acquired revenue related to MIS. Net revenue in the Successor 2020 Period includes $18.72 million of acquired revenue related to Adcole, DSS, Roccor and LoadPath and $22.06 million of organic revenue related to MIS.

 

 

 

There were two significant contracts that MIS entered into in the Predecessor 2019 period, which include the Archinaut One contract awarded by NASA with a total contract value of $73.83 million and a contract awarded by the European Space Agency with a total contract value of €10 million. The total value of all other contracts awarded in the Predecessor 2019 Period was $2.79 million. In the Predecessor 2020 Period and the Successor 2020 Period, the total contract values awarded were $8.21 million and $22.67 million, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2020 Period was 80%, as compared to 76% for the Predecessor 2020 Period and 79% for the Predecessor 2019 Period. The change was primarily driven by the costs for the Archinaut One contract awarded in the Predecessor 2019 period decreasing in the Successor 2020 Period as the contract period progresses. Apart from the Archinaut One impact, overall contract cost margins have improved in the Successor 2020 Period.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2020 Period were 32%, as compared to 32% for the Predecessor 2020 Period and 33% for the Predecessor 2019 Period. Significant additional expenses were incurred in the Successor 2020 Period to establish the Cosmos corporate office and senior management team, integrate new acquisitions and engage consultants and auditors in advance of the Business Combination.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2020 Period were 5%, as compared to 2% for the Predecessor 2020 Period and 5% for the Predecessor 2019 Period. The Company’s primary research and development projects relate to the Star Tracker development and the advanced electronics, optical and software system development.

 

As of December 31, 2020 (Successor), the Company has incurred $1.24 million to date in research and development expense related to the in-flight attitude determination for CubeSats and small satellite missions Star Tracker development project, for which sustaining engineering tasks and new product development is ongoing. The project is expected to be completed in December 2021, and remaining costs to complete the project are expected to be $260,000. The remaining costs to complete the project are primarily related to approved monthly research and development costs. The risks and uncertainties associated with completing this project are related to cost reduction as contracts are awarded for the new Star Tracker product. We began to receive cash inflows from this project starting in April 2021.

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2020 (Successor), the Company has incurred $107,000 to date in research and development expense related to advanced electronics, optical and software system development. The project is expected to be completed in Winter 2021, and remaining costs to complete the project are expected to be $542,000. The remaining costs to complete the project are primarily associated with labor to complete prototype development and testing. The risks and uncertainties associated with completing this project are primarily in thermal vacuum qualification with expected input voltage range performance at hot and cold. We expect cash inflows from this project beginning in Q4 2021.

 

Acquisition Costs and Other Related Expenses

 

Acquisition costs and other related expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2020 Period were 24%, as compared to 0% for the Predecessor 2020 Period and 0% for the Predecessor 2019 Period. The acquisition costs and other related expenses incurred for the Successor 2020 Period were related to the Adcole Acquisition, the DSS Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition and the LoadPath Acquisition, as well as costs associated with our evaluation of other acquisition opportunities. We expect to incur acquisition costs and other related expenses periodically in the future as we continue to seek acquisition opportunities to expand our technological capabilities. Transaction costs incurred by the acquiree prior to the consummation of an acquisition are not reflected in our historical results of operations.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income as a percentage of net revenues was 0% for the Successor 2020 Period, Predecessor 2020 Period and Predecessor 2019 Period. Interest income primarily relates to interest earned on the certificate of deposit, bank accounts, and promissory notes. The changes in interest income from the Predecessor 2019 Period primarily relate to options settled/cancelled for promissory notes.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2020 Period was 3%, as compared to 0% for the Predecessor 2020 Period and 1% for the Predecessor 2019 Period. The interest expense incurred for the Successor 2020 Period was primarily related to the Company entering into the Adams Street Credit Agreement, as further discussed in the description of our liquidity and capital resources. The interest expense incurred for the Predecessor 2020 Period and the Predecessor 2019 Period related to credit agreements with outstanding balances repaid prior to the Company’s acquisition of MIS.

 

Other Expense, net

 

Other expense, net as a percentage of net revenues was 0% for the Successor 2020, the Predecessor 2020 Period and the Predecessor 2019 Period. Other expense, net is primarily composed of expense for taxes other than income tax.

 

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

 

Income tax (benefit) expense as a percentage of net revenues for the Successor 2020 Period were (9%), as compared to (2%) for the Predecessor 2020 Period and (0%) for the Predecessor 2019 Period.

 

The following table provides information regarding our income tax (benefit) expense during the periods indicated:

 

    Successor     Predecessor  
    Period from February
 10, 2020 to December
 31, 2020
    Period from
January 1, 2020 to
June 21, 2020
    Year ended
December 31,
2019
 
Income tax (benefit) expense     (3,659 )     (384 )     10  
Effective tax rate     20.3 %     22.4 %     (0.3 )%

 

 

 

 

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the Successor Period from February 10, 2020 to December 31, 2020 compared to the Predecessor Period from January 1, 2020 to June 21, 2020 was primarily due to the 5-year net operating loss carryback rule enacted by CARES Act in the Predecessor Period from January 1, 2020 to June 21, 2020, and a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets in the Predecessor Period.

 

The increase in our effective tax rate for the Predecessor Period from January 1, 2020 to June 21, 2020 compared to the Predecessor Year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable impact of 5-year net operating loss carryback rule enacted by the Cares Act, and favorable impact of change of control compensation and excess tax benefit related to stock compensation in the Predecessor Period from January 1, 2020 to June 21, 2020.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more-likely- than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards are available. As of December 31, 2020 (Successor), and 2019 (Predecessor) the Company’s valuation allowance was $57,000 and $1.51 million, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance is primarily as a result of the recording of deferred tax liabilities for fixed and intangible assets in connection with the 2020 acquisitions of Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor, and LoadPath. As of December 31, 2020 (Successor), the Company has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be utilized.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Information

 

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income adjusted for interest expense (income), net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition costs, acquisition integration costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue, capital market and advisory fees, write-off of long-lived assets, and equity-based compensation. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is computed in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X and is computed to give effect to the business combinations as if they occurred on January 1 of the year prior to the year in which they occurred. Non-GAAP financial performance measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Key Performance Indicators

 

Book-to-bill Ratio

 

We view book-to-bill as an indicator of future revenue growth potential. To drive future revenue growth, our goal is for the level of contract awarded in a given period to exceed the net revenue recorded, thus yielding a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1.0.

 

Book-to-bill is the ratio of total contract awarded to net revenues recorded in the same period. The contracts awarded balance includes firm contract orders including time and material contracts which were awarded during the period and does not include unexercised contract options or potential orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. Although the contracts awarded balance reflects firm contract orders, terminations, amendments, or contract cancellations may occur which could result in a reduction to the contracts awarded balance.

 

Successor 2021 Period, Successor Q2 2020 Period, and Predecessor 2020 Period

 

Our book-to-bill ratio is as follows (in thousands):

 

    Successor     Predecessor  
    Six month period
ended June 30, 2021
   

Period from

February 10, 2020 to June
 30, 2020

    Period from January 1,
2020 to June 21, 2020
 
Contracts awarded   $ 81,718     $ 18,677     $ 8,209  
Net revenues     63,846       5,171       16,651  
Book-to-bill ratio     1.28       3.61       0.49  

 

Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.28 for the Successor 2021 Period, as compared to 3.61 for the Successor Q2 2020 Period and 0.49 for the Predecessor 2020 Period.

 

In the Successor 2021 Period, $37.73 million of the contracts awarded balance relates to acquired contract value from the Oakman and DPSS acquisitions. In the Successor Q2 2020 Period, $14.37 million of the contracts awarded balance relates to acquired contract value from the Adcole, DSS and MIS acquisitions.

 

The increase in contract awarded value in the Successor 2021 Period, compared to the Successor Q2 2020 Period (which includes only Adcole, DSS and MIS), and the Predecessor 2020 Period, is due to inclusion of contracts awarded to Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor, LoadPath, Oakman and DPSS.

Book-to-bill ratio     0.56       0.49       4.62  

 

Our book-to-bill ratio was 0.56 for the Successor 2020 Period, as compared to 0.49 for the Predecessor 2020 Period and 4.62 for the Predecessor 2019 Period.

 

The Archinaut One contract awarded in 2019 for $73.83 million is the primary driver of the decrease in contract value in turn decreasing the book-to-bill ratio from December 31, 2019 (Predecessor) compared to the subsequent period.

 

 

 

 

Backlog

 

We view growth in backlog as a key measure of our business growth. Contracted backlog represents the estimated dollar value of firm funded executed contracts for which work has not been performed (also known as the remaining performance obligations on a contract). Our contracted backlog includes $20.46 million and $4.31 million in remaining contract value from time and materials contracts as of June 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Organic contracted backlog change excludes backlog activity from acquisitions for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date. Contracted backlog activity for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date is included in acquisition-related contracted backlog change. After the completion of four fiscal quarters, acquired entities are treated as organic for current and comparable historical periods.

 

Organic contract value includes the remaining contract value as of January 1 not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for those entities treated as organic. Acquisition-related contract value includes remaining contract value as of the acquisition date not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for entities not treated as organic. Similarly, organic revenue includes revenue earned during the period presented for those entities treated as organic, while acquisition-related revenue includes the same for all other entities, excluding any pre-acquisition revenue earned during the period. The Predecessor 2019 and Predecessor 2020 Periods are treated as organic below to ensure comparability of acquisition-related contracted backlog for future reporting periods.

    June 30, 2021     December 31, 2020    

 

December 31, 2019

 
Organic backlog as of January 1   $ 52,599     $ 77,663     $ 12,929  
Organic additions during the period     1,230       13,648       83,747  
Organic revenue recognized during the period     (18,506 )     (38,712 )     (19,013 )
   Organic backlog at end of period     35,323       52,599       77,663  
Acquisition-related contract value beginning of period     69,674       71,169       -  
Acquisition-related additions during the period     80,488       17,229       -  
Acquisition-related revenue recognized during the period     (45,340 )     (18,724 )     -  
   Acquisition-related backlog at end of period     104,822       69,674          
Contracted backlog at end of period   $ 140,145     $ 122,273     $ 77,663  

 

The acquisition-related contracted backlog activity in the Successor 2021 Period includes contracted backlog activity from Adcole, DSS, Roccor, LoadPath, Oakman, and DPSS. The organic contracted backlog activity in the Successor 2021 Period includes contracted backlog activity from MIS only. Contracted backlog increased during the Successor 2021 period primarily due to the acquisitions of Oakman and DPSS, offset by a decrease in organic contracted backlog related to higher organic revenue than organic additions during the period.

 

The organic contracted backlog activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes the contracted backlog activity of MIS during the Predecessor 2020 Period and the Successor Q2 2020 period. The acquisition-related contracted backlog activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes contracted backlog activity from Adcole, DSS, Roccor, and LoadPath. The 2019 contracted backlog activity includes only MIS activity during the Predecessor 2019 Period. The Company’s highest value contract, Archinaut One was executed in July 2019. The decrease in the December 31, 2020 organic contracted backlog compared to December 31, 2019 is primarily due to higher organic revenue from Archinaut One.

 

Although contracted backlog reflects business associated with contracts that are considered to be firm, terminations, amendments or contract cancellations may occur, which could result in a reduction in our total backlog. In addition, some of our multi-year contracts are subject to annual funding. Management fully expects all amounts reflected in contracted backlog to ultimately be fully funded. Contracted backlog related to contracts from MIS operations in Luxembourg of $7.24 million as of June 30, 2021 and $8.63 million as of December 31, 2020 is subject to foreign exchange rate conversions from euros to U.S. dollars that could cause the remaining backlog balance to fluctuate with the foreign exchange rate at the time of measurement.

 

 

 

 

Our total backlog as of June 30, 2021, which includes both contracted and uncontracted backlog, is $277.57 million. Uncontracted backlog represents the anticipated contract value, or portion thereof, of goods and services to be delivered under existing contracts which have not been appropriated or otherwise authorized. Our uncontracted backlog as of June 30, 2021 is $137.42 million. Uncontracted backlog includes $56.04 million of contract extensions under negotiation that are priced, fully scoped, verbally awarded, and expected to be executed shortly.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by our operations and access to existing credit facilities, with AE funding to purchase Adcole, DSS, and MIS providing an additional source of liquidity in the Successor Q2 2020 Period. Our primary short-term cash requirements are to fund working capital, operating lease obligations, and short-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt. Working capital requirements can vary significantly from period to period, particularly as a result of the timing of receipts and disbursements related to long-term contracts.

 

Our medium-term to long-term cash requirements are to service and repay debt, to expand through acquisitions, and to invest in facilities, equipment, technologies, and research and development for growth initiatives.

 

Our ability to fund our cash needs will depend, in part, on our ability to generate cash in the future, which depends on our future financial results. Our future results are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors that may be outside of our control. Our future access to, and the availability of credit on acceptable terms and conditions, is impacted by many factors, including capital market liquidity and overall economic conditions.

 

We believe that our cash from operating activities generated from continuing operations during the year, together with available borrowings under our existing credit facilities and cash received from the Merger, will be adequate for the next 12 months to meet our anticipated uses of cash flow, including working capital, operating lease obligations, capital expenditures and debt service costs. While we intend to reduce debt over time using cash provided by operations, we may also attempt to meet long-term debt obligations, if necessary, by obtaining capital from a variety of additional sources or by refinancing existing obligations. These sources include public or private capital markets, bank financings, proceeds from dispositions or other third-party sources.

 

As of June 30, 2021 (Successor), our available liquidity totaled $32.39 million, which was comprised of $7.39 million of available cash and cash equivalents, $5.0 million in available borrowings from our existing credit facilities, and $20.0 million from available parent support. As of December 31, 2020 (Successor), our available liquidity totaled $42.08 million, which was comprised of $22.08 million of available cash and cash equivalents and $20.0 million in available borrowings from our existing credit facilities. The following table summarizes our existing credit facilities (in thousands):

Adams Street Credit Agreement

 

On October 28, 2020, the Company entered into the Adams Street Credit Agreement, which includes the following:

 

  (i) $31.0 million term loan (the “Adams Street Term Loan”). Proceeds from the Adams Street Term Loan were used to finance the acquisition of Roccor, pay acquisition-related costs, fund working capital needs (including the payment of any working capital adjustment pursuant to the Roccor acquisition agreement) and other general corporate purposes;

 

  (ii) $5.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Adams Street Revolving Credit Facility”); and

 

  (iii) $15.0 million delayed draw term loan (the “Adams Street Delayed Draw Term Loan”).

 

As of December 31, 2020 (Successor), the balances of the Adams Street Revolving Credit Facility and the Adams Street Delayed Draw Term Loan of $5.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, were undrawn and available to the Company. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Adams Street Revolving Credit Facility and the Adams Street Delayed Draw Term Loan to fund working capital needs, to fund acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The Adams Street Credit Agreement has a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The Adams Street Credit Agreement is secured by a security interest in all right, title or interest in or to certain assets and properties owned by the Company and the guarantors included in the Adams Street Credit Agreement. The Adams Street Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet customary affirmative and negative covenants, default provisions, representations and warranties and other terms and conditions. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Adams Street Credit Agreement (i) upon the occurrence of certain events and (ii) to the extent a specified net leverage ratio is exceeded as evaluated on any test period ending date. The test period ending dates are March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 31 each year, starting on March 31, 2021, through the maturity of the agreement. As of June 30, 2021 (Successor) and December 31, 2020 (Successor), the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Adams Street Credit Agreement.

On January 15, 2021, the Company drew $15.0 million on the delayed draw term loan to finance the Oakman acquisition. On February 17, 2021, the Company amended the Adams Street Credit Agreement to increase the principal amount of the Adams Street Term Loan by an additional $32.0 million to finance the DPSS acquisition.

 

On September 2, 2021, the Adams Street Credit Agreement was amended to provide that the consolidated total net leverage ratio not exceed 6.50:1.00 on the last day of any quarter (“the Financial Covenant”), to remove the cap on the amount of unrestricted cash which may be netted for purposes of the Financial Covenant, to redefine “Consolidated EBITDA”, and to reset the call protection terms.

 

 

 

 

SVB Loan Agreement

 

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a $45.35 million loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Original SVB Loan Agreement”) maturing on August 31, 2021, which was subsequently modified on October 28, 2020 to (i) increase the available commitment by $5.72 million and (ii) pay $.57 million toward the outstanding principal under the Original SVB Loan Agreement. This resulted in a modified loan (the “SVB Loan Agreement”) for $50.50 million. On October 30, 2020, the Company made a $4.0 million principal payment. The balance as of December 31, 2020 (Successor) was $46.50 million. As of December 31, 2020 (Successor), the Company recorded a related party receivable for a $4.87 million payment to AE to be applied to the principal on this loan which AE applied to another portfolio company’s debt balance instead. Consequently, the SVB Loan Agreement lender did not receive the payment and the balance of $46.50 million was not reduced by the $4.87 million. On April 2, 2021, the Company extended the maturity date to September 30, 2022. As a result, the SVB Loan Agreement is included in long-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The SVB Loan Agreement requires the Company to meet customary affirmative and negative covenants, default provisions, representations and warranties and other terms and conditions and is guaranteed by AE. As of June 30, 2021 (Successor) and December 31, 2020 (Successor), the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the SVB Loan Agreement.

 

On April 2, 2021, the Company subsequently amended the SVB Loan Agreement to extend the term from August 2021 to September 30, 2022.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GPAC required that all amounts outstanding under the SVB Loan Agreement as of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), be repaid at the Closing. The Company delivered a customary payoff letter to GPAC setting forth the payoff amount for all outstanding indebtedness under the SVB Loan Agreement as of two days prior to the Closing. Subsequent to the Successor 2021 Period, the remaining outstanding principal and interest balances of $41.63 million and $.10 million, respectively, under the SVB Loan Agreement were repaid using a portion of the proceeds from the Merger.

 

DSS Paycheck Protection Program Loan

 

On May 1, 2020, prior to the DSS Acquisition, DSS received a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan for $1.06 million (the “DSS PPP Loan”), which has a maturity date of May 1, 2022. Under the terms of the DSS PPP Loan, DSS could apply for forgiveness under the PPP regulations if DSS used the proceeds of the loan for its payroll costs and other expenses in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. As the funds were disbursed to DSS prior to the acquisition, the Company intends on repaying any unforgiven balance with funds held in a DSS savings account as of the date of the DSS acquisition. On June 18, 2021, $.61 million was forgiven and as a result reclassified to note payable to the seller of DSS.

Operating activities

 

For the Successor 2021 Period, net cash used in operating activities was $20.08 million. Net loss before deducting depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items generated a cash outflow of $9.85 million and was further impacted by an unfavorable change in net working capital of $10.23 million during this period. The unfavorable change in net working capital was largely driven by the decrease in accounts receivable of $3.36 million, contract assets of $3.54 million, prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.45 million, and deferred revenue of $4.29 million, offset by the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5.92 million.

 

For the Successor Q2 2020 Period, net cash used by operating activities was $7.56 million. Net loss before deducting depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items generated a cash outflow of $5.60 million while unfavorable changes in net working capital of $1.96 million during this period. The unfavorable change in net working capital was largely driven by the decrease in other liabilities of $3.29 million and deferred revenue of $.59 million, offset by increase in accounts receivable of $0.47 million, prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.33 million, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.85 million.

 

For the Predecessor 2020 Period, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.16 million. Net loss before deducting depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items generated a cash outflow of $(0.14) million while favorable changes in net working capital of $3.31 million contributed to operating cash flows during this period. The favorable change in net working capital was largely driven by the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4.65 million.

Operating activities

 

For the Successor 2020 Period, net cash used in operating activities was $15.65 million. Net income before deducting depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items generated a cash outflow of $13.96 million and was further impacted by an unfavorable change in net working capital of $1.69 million during this period. The unfavorable change in net working capital was largely driven by decrease in other liabilities $5.71 million, offset by the increase in deferred revenue of $3.62 million and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.65 million.

 

For the Predecessor 2020 Period, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.16 million. Net income before deducting depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items generated a cash outflow of $0.14 million while favorable changes in net working capital of $3.31 million contributed to operating cash flows during this period. The favorable change in net working capital was largely driven by the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4.65 million.

 

For the Predecessor 2019 Period, net cash provided by operating activities was $5.67 million.

Foreign Currency Exposures

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to currency translation exposure because the operations of one of its subsidiaries are measured in their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates: Luxembourg. Any currency balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary are remeasured into the functional currency, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. In consolidation, the Company’s subsidiary activity denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar is translated into U.S. dollars, the Company’s reporting currency, using the average exchange rate in effect during each fiscal month during the period, with any related gain or loss recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income (loss). The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that use functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation using period end exchange rates, with the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

 

 

 

The Company’s operations in Luxembourg execute contracts and incur the majority of expenses in euros. We seek to naturally hedge the Company’s foreign exchange transaction exposure by matching the transaction currencies for its cash inflows and outflows and maintaining access to credit in the principal currency in which we conduct business, the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge our foreign exchange transactions or translation exposure but may consider doing so in the future.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

For the critical accounting estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on net revenues, cost and expenses, and other expense (income), net, in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, as well as, on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

In accordance with the Company’s policies, we regularly evaluate estimates, assumptions, and judgments; our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on historical experience and on factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results involve judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. If our assumptions or conditions change, the actual results the Company reports may differ from these estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments the Company uses to prepare our consolidated financial statements.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 an emerging growth 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 an 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 Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

 

 

 

Business Combinations

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company recognizes tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at acquisition date. The accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to goodwill, intangible assets, and contingent consideration.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company recognizes the goodwill for business combinations in which the acquisition method of accounting is applied, whereby the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company’s offerings across product lines and markets complementary to its existing products and markets.

 

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. In circumstances where a qualitative analysis indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value, a quantitative analysis is performed using an income approach. The Company performed the qualitative assessment for each of the three reporting units on December 31, 2020 and did not find any indicators that the fair value is more likely than not below the carrying value. As such, the quantitative assessment was not required, and no goodwill impairment was recognized for the year-ended December 31, 2020. Going forward, the Company will test goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter (i.e., October 1) or, as prescribed in ASC 350, when indications of potential impairment exist.

 

The discounted cash flow approach requires management to make certain assumptions based upon information available at the time the valuations are performed. Actual results could differ from these assumptions. Redwire’s management believes the assumptions used are reflective of what a market participant would have used in calculating fair value considering current economic conditions.

 

Additional risks for goodwill across all reporting units include, but are not limited to:

 

our failure to reach our internal forecasts could impact our ability to achieve our forecasted levels of cash flows and reduce the estimated discounted value of our reporting units;

 

adverse technological events that could impact our performance;

 

volatility in equity and debt markets resulting in higher discount rates; and

 

significant adverse changes in the regulatory environment or markets in which we operate.

 

It is not possible at this time to determine if an impairment charge would result from these factors. We will continue to monitor our goodwill for potential impairment indicators in future periods.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets, including technology, trademarks, and customer relationships, have been acquired through the Company’s various business combinations. The fair value of the acquired trademarks, technology, and customer relationships has been estimated using various underlying judgments, assumptions, and estimates. Potential changes in the underlying judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in our valuations of acquired intangible assets could result in different estimates of the future fair values. A potential increase in discount rates, a reduction in projected cash flows or a combination of the two could lead to a reduction in estimated fair values, which may result in impairment charges that could materially affect our financial statements in any given year. The approaches used for determining the fair value of finite-lived technology, trademarks and customer relationships acquired depends on the circumstances; the Company has used the income approach (within the income approach, various methods are available such as multi-period excess earnings, with and without, incremental and relief from royalty methods). Within each income approach method, a tax amortization benefit is included, which represents the tax benefit resulting from the amortization of that intangible asset depending on the tax jurisdiction where the intangible asset is held.

 

 

 

 

Finite-lived intangible assets are reported at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are either amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or over the period the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Significant judgment is also required in assigning the respective useful lives of intangible assets. Our assessment of intangible assets that have a finite life is based on a number of factors including the competitive environment, market share, brand history, underlying product life cycles, attrition rate, operating plans, cash flows (i.e., economic life based on the discounted and undiscounted cash flows), future usage of intangible assets and the macroeconomic environment. The costs of finite-lived intangible assets are amortized to expense over the estimated useful life.

 

Contingent Consideration

 

We record contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value of any contingent consideration is calculated considering the probability of occurrence of an earnout payment. The fair value of contingent consideration is estimated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, which uses assumptions such as a risk-free interest rates, discount rates and volatility rates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The recognition and measurement of revenue requires the use of judgments and estimates. Specifically, judgment is used in interpreting complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions and determining when all criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The Company’s revenues are derived from the sales of products and services.

 

The Company engages in long-term contracts for production and service activities and recognizes revenue for performance obligations over time. The Company’s contracts generally do not contain penalties, credits, price concessions or other types of potential variable consideration. Prices are fixed at contract inception and are not contingent on performance or any other criteria. Revenue is recognized over time (versus point in time recognition), due to the fact that the Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. These contracts include both fixed-price and cost reimbursable contracts. The Company’s cost reimbursable contracts typically include cost-plus fixed fee and time and material (“T&M”) contracts. The portion of the payments retained by the customer or advance payment is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to facilitate inventory demands at the onset of a contract and to safeguard the Company from the failure of the other party to abide by some or all of their obligations under the contract.

 

The Company recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress. Under the cost-to-cost method, revenue is recognized based on the proportion of total costs incurred to estimated total costs-at-completion (“EAC”). An EAC includes all direct costs and indirect costs directly attributable to a program or allocable based on our program cost pooling arrangements. Estimates regarding the Company’s cost associated with the design, manufacture and delivery of products and services are used in determining the EAC. Changes in EAC are applied retrospectively and when adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 805, contracts recognized under the cost-to-cost method were reset as of the date of acquisition to calculate prospective periods using the contract value and estimated costs to complete as of the acquisition date rather than the contract value and estimated costs to complete since inception of the contract. For T&M contracts, the Company recognizes revenue reflecting the number of direct labor hours expended in the performance of a contract multiplied by the contract billing rate, as well as reimbursement of other direct billable costs.

 

 

 

 

Our cost estimation process is based on the professional knowledge of our engineering, program management and financial professionals and draws on their significant experience and judgment. We prepare EACs for our contracts and calculate estimated revenues and costs over the life of our contracts. Accounting for long-term contracts requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, in particular, assumptions relative to the amount of time to complete the contract, including the assessment of the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. The Company’s estimates are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of its engineers, program managers and other personnel, who review each long-term contract monthly to assess the contract’s schedule, performance, technical matters and estimated cost at completion. Changes in estimates are applied retrospectively for contracts executed after the date of acquisition and are applied via the ASC 805 reset method described above for contracts existing at the date of acquisition. When adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods.

 

Factors considered in these estimates include our historical performance, the availability, productivity and cost of labor, the nature and complexity of work to be performed, availability and cost of materials, components and subcontracts, the risk and impact of delayed performance and the level of indirect cost allocations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a long-lived asset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows to which the asset relates is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset cost is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No such impairment charges were recognized during the periods presented.

 

Using a discounted cash flow method involves significant judgment and requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions, including long-term projections of cash flows, market conditions and appropriate discount rates. Judgments are based on historical experience, current market trends, consultations with external valuation specialists and other information. If facts and circumstances change, the use of different estimates and assumptions could result in a materially different outcome. The Company generally develops these forecasts based on recent sales data for existing products, acquisitions, and estimated future growth of the market in which it operates.

 

Income Taxes

 

Significant judgments are required in order to determine the realizability of tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we evaluate all significant available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, estimates of future sources of taxable income, carry-forward periods available, the existence of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and other relevant factors. The Company recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

 

Equity-Based Compensation

 

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

 

Prior to June 22, 2020 the Predecessor maintained a plan to provide a performance incentive and to encourage stock ownership by employees, officers and directors of the Predecessor (the “2011 Equity Incentive Plan”). Under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, incentive stock options (“ISOs”) could only be granted to employees, while non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) could be granted to employees, officers and directors of the Predecessor. The Predecessor recognized the equity-based compensation cost related to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan over the requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method.

 

 

 

 

The fair value of the awards for which equity-based compensation cost was recognized under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan was estimated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, which uses assumptions such as a risk-free interest rates, discount rates and volatility rates. The historical volatility used in the determination of the fair value of the ISOs and NQSOs was based on analysis of the historical volatility of guideline public companies and factors specific to the Predecessor.

 

Predecessor Promissory Notes

 

Between 2014 and 2017, the Predecessor extended loans to certain key management personnel for the purchase of Predecessor shares (the “Predecessor Promissory Notes”). The Predecessor Promissory Notes were secured by the underlying shares and were nonrecourse to the respective debtor’s personal assets. The Predecessor Promissory Notes carried interest at between 1.85% and 1.91% per annum, and were expected to mature between April 2020 and June 2023 or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Predecessor Promissory Notes. The Predecessor Promissory Notes represent in-substance ISOs for purposes of equity-based compensation cost recognition.

 

The fair value of the awards for which equity-based compensation cost was recognized under the Predecessor Promissory Notes was estimated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, which uses assumptions such as a risk-free interest rates, discount rates and volatility rates. The Black-Scholes options pricing model for the Predecessor Promissory Notes also assumed the amount of nonrecourse principal and interest that is considered part of the exercise price of the in-substance ISOs. The historical volatility used in the determination of the fair value of the in-substance ISOs was based on analysis of the historical volatility of guideline public companies and factors specific to the Predecessor.

 

Class P Unit Incentive Plan

 

Holdings adopted a written compensatory benefit plan (the “Class P Unit Incentive Plan”) to provide incentives to existing or new employees, officers, managers, and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries in the form of Class P Units (“Incentive Units”). The Class P Unit Incentive Plan, among other things, established the ownership of Incentive Units in Holdings and defined the distribution rights and allocations of profits and losses associated with those Incentive Units. Incentive Units have a participation threshold of $1.00 and are divided into three tranches (“Tranche I,” “Tranche II” and “Tranche III”). Tranche I, Tranche II and Tranche III Incentive Units are subject to performance-based, service-based and market-based conditions.

 

Equity-based compensation for awards with performance conditions is based on the probable outcome of the related performance condition. The vesting of the Incentive Units is contingent on the sale of Holdings or a liquidity event. As such events are not considered probable until they occur, recognition of equity-based compensation cost for the Incentive Units is deferred until the sale of Holdings or a liquidity event occurs. Once the event occurs, unrecognized compensation cost associated with the performance-vesting Incentive Units (based on their grant date fair value) will be recognized based on the portion of the requisite service period that has been rendered.

 

For the Incentive Units granted in fiscal 2020, the Company used a market approach, specifically the subject company transaction method (the “Backsolve” method) considering the price paid by the investors of the Class A common units, representing the most reliable indication of value. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to allocate the equity value to different classes of equity, with inputs for unit value of the expected term to exit, risk-free rate, expected volatility, exercise price (including vesting conditions), and a discount for lack of marketability in the valuation of the Incentive Units.

 

 

 

 

On March 24, 2021, Holdings amended the Class P Unit Incentive Plan so that the Tranche I and the Tranche III Incentive Units will immediately become fully vested, subject to continued employment or provision of services, upon the closing of the transaction stipulated in the Merger Agreement. Holdings also amended the Class P Unit Incentive Plan so that the Tranche II Incentive Units will vest on any liquidation event, as defined in the Class P Unit Incentive Plan, rather than only upon consummation of the sale of Holdings, subject to the market-based condition stipulated in the Class P Unit Incentive Plan prior to its amendment. As of March 24, 2021, there was approximately $27.94 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to Incentive Units.

 

The unrecognized compensation cost for Incentive Units as of December 31, 2020 ($1.9 million) was based on a valuation performed as of October 22, 2020, the grant date of the awards. As of October 22, 2020, there was not an expectation that Cosmos Intermediate would merge with the Company.

 

On March 24, 2021 the Class P Unit Incentive Plan was amended, resulting in Cosmos Intermediate performing an analysis to assess the impact of this modification. The calculated fair value of the Class P Incentive Units as of March 24, 2021 was determined to be $27.94 million which was higher than the original grant date fair value. The primary factor contributing to the increase in the units’ fair value was the expectation that Cosmos Intermediate would merge with GPAC as the Merger Agreement was executed on March 25, 2021. The valuation as of October 22, 2020 was based on the total invested capital into Cosmos Intermediate of $56 million at the time of the valuation and did not contemplate a potential exit transaction involving a special purpose acquisition vehicle. The valuation performed as of March 24, 2021 factored in the value of the consideration Redwire expects to receive outlined in the Merger Agreement. Other assumption changes in the March 24, 2021 valuation compared to the October 22, 2020 valuation included an expected shorter time until exit, lowered volatility, and lower discount for lack of marketability, which contributed to a higher estimated fair value of the Class P Incentive Units.

Note A – Description of the Business

 

AE Industrial Partners Fund II, LP (“AEI”), a private equity firm specializing in aerospace, defense, and government services, formed a series of acquisition vehicles on February 10, 2020, which included Cosmos Parent, LLC, Cosmos Intermediate, LLC, Cosmos Finance, LLC and Cosmos Acquisition, LLC, with Cosmos Parent, LLC being the top holding company. Cosmos Parent, LLC owned 100% of the equity in Cosmos Intermediate, LLC; Cosmos Intermediate, LLC owned 100% of the equity in Cosmos Finance, LLC; Cosmos Finance, LLC owned 100% of the equity in Cosmos Acquisition, LLC. Upon the formation of these acquisition vehicles, Cosmos Intermediate, LLC (“Successor”) effected a number of acquisitions through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cosmos Acquisition, LLC.

 

These acquisitions included Adcole Space, LLC (“Adcole”), Deep Space Systems, Inc. (“DSS”), In Space Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “MIS” or “Predecessor”), Roccor, LLC (“Roccor”), and LoadPath, LLC (“LoadPath”) as of December 31, 2020.

 

The Successor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Redwire, LLC (“Parent”). The Predecessor, which is comprised of MIS before its acquisition date, and the Successor, including Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor, LoadPath, Oakman, and DPSS, after the acquisition of each, respectively, are collectively referred to as “the Company.” The Company develops and manufactures a wide array of space infrastructure solutions and provides advanced engineering, modeling and simulation services to enable future space missions. Many of these products and services have been enabling space missions since the 1960s and have been flight-proven on over 150 satellite missions, including high-priority missions such as the GPS constellation, New Horizons and Perseverance. The Company also is a provider of innovative technologies with the potential to help transform the economics of space and create new markets for its exploration and commercialization

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2021, the following acquisitions were completed:

 

· On January 15, 2021, the Company acquired Oakman Aerospace, Inc. (“Oakman”), which was established in 2012. Oakman specializes in the development of modular open system architecture, rapid spacecraft design and development, and custom missions, payloads, and applications. Oakman’s proprietary digital engineering modular, open systems software environment, ACORN, enables the next generation of digitally engineered spacecraft that optimizes the balance between cost and tailoring capability in spacecraft design and development.
     

· On February 17, 2021, the Company acquired Deployable Space Systems, Inc. (“DPSS”), which was established in 2008. DPSS’ mission is to develop new and enabling deployable technologies for space applications, transition emerging technologies to industry for infusion into future Department of Defense (“DoD”), NASA, and/or commercial programs and design, analyze, build, test and deliver on-time the deployable solar arrays, deployable structures and space system products. DPSS has developed a one of a kind, patented roll out solar array (“ROSA”) technology which is a new and innovative mission-enabling rolled flexible blanket solar array system that offers greatly improved performance over state-of-the-art rigid panel solar arrays.

 

Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The six month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “Successor 2021 Period”), and the period from February 10, 2020 (inception) to June 30, 2020 (the “Successor Q2 2020 Period”) relate to the activity of Cosmos Intermediate, LLC and its subsidiaries. MIS was identified as the Predecessor through an analysis of various factors, including the size, financial characteristics, ongoing management, and order in which the acquired entities were acquired. The year to date period ended June 21, 2020 (the “Predecessor 2020 Period”) relates to the activity of MIS and its subsidiaries.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statement information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of adjustments associated with acquisition accounting and normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of such financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

 

 

COSMOS INTERMEDIATE, LLC 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and unit amounts)

 

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for the period ended December 31, 2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

 

There have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note B of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the annual consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounting policies subject to estimates include valuation of intangible assets and contingent consideration, revenue recognition, income taxes, and equity-based compensation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes the current lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with any capital leases recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The reporting of lease-related expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with the current guidance. The new lease guidance will be effective for the year ending December 31, 2022 and will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to either the beginning of the earliest period presented or the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard. The adoption of this standard will require the recognition of a right of use asset and liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, there were various updates that amended and clarified the impact of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 will require an entity to record an allowance for credit losses for certain financial instruments and financial assets, including accounts receivable, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit losses. The new guidance will be effective for the years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Note C – Business Combinations

   

Adcole Acquisition

 

On March 2, 2020, the Successor acquired 100% of the equity interest of Adcole in exchange for cash. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth in its offering of space structures.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair values of the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

 

    March 2, 2020  
Cash paid   $ 32,640  
Purchase consideration   $ 32,640  
Assets:        
Cash   $ 156  
Accounts receivable     840  
Contract assets     1,427  
Inventory     212  
     Prepaid expenses and other current assets     661  
Property, plant and equipment     444  
     Intangible assets     9,690  
    $ 13,430  
Liabilities:        
Accounts payable   $ 894  
Accrued expenses     644  
     Deferred revenue     777  
    $ 2,315  
Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired     11,115  
Goodwill   $ 21,525  

 

The following table summarizes the intangible assets acquired by class:

 

    March 2, 2020  
Trademark   $ 1,000  
Technology     2,400  
Customer relationships     6,100  
In-process research and development (“IPR&D”)     190  
Total intangible assets   $ 9,690  

 

The fair value of the acquired trademark and technology was estimated using the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method. The fair value of the IPR&D was estimated using the replacement cost method.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, whereby the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company’s offerings across product lines and markets complementary to its existing products and markets. For tax purposes, the goodwill is deductible over 15 years.

 

The results of operations of the acquired businesses for the period from March 2, 2020 to June 30, 2020 have been included in the results of operations for the Successor Q2 2020 Period; the post-acquisition revenues and net loss included in the Successor Q2 2020 Period were $3,373 thousand and ($279) thousand, respectively.

The fair value of the acquired trademark was determined using the RFR method. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was determined using the excess earnings method.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, whereby the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company’s offerings across product lines and markets complementary to its existing products and markets. For tax purposes, the goodwill is not deductible.

 

The results of operations of the acquired businesses for the period from June 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 have been included in the results of operations for the Successor Q2 2020 Period; the post-acquisition revenues and net loss included in the Successor Q2 2020 Period were $808 thousand and ($27) thousand, respectively. The acquisition-related costs included in transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the Successor Q2 2020 Period were $434 thousand.

 

During the Successor 2021 Period, there was a measurement period adjustment to goodwill of $85 thousand, decreasing the balance to $3,899 thousand. Refer to Footnote H - Goodwill for further discussion.

MIS Acquisition

 

On June 22, 2020, the Successor acquired 100% of the equity interest of MIS in exchange for cash and 2,615,726 Parent Units. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth in its offering of space structures.

 

The purchase agreement with the sellers of MIS has a contingent earnout payment from the Company upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones over the year ended December 31, 2020. The earnout amount is computed at $1.50 for every $1.00 of MIS revenue, as defined in the purchase agreement, in excess of $40,000 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the contingent earnout shall not exceed $15,000 thousand or be less than $0. The Company executed a settlement agreement on August 20, 2021 with the sellers. Per the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to issue 1,354,088 Class A units of the Parent and pay $1,552 thousand in cash. The fair value of the Class A units as of June 30, 2021 is $9,939 thousand. The fair value is arrived at using the following assumptions:

 

MIS Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model Assumptions  
Risk-free interest rate 0.05 %
Revenue volatility 51.7 %

 

The total fair value of the contingent earnout payment as of June 30, 2021, including the equity component is $11,491 thousand. The change in the fair value of the earnout payment, $10,889 thousand, is reflected in contingent earnout expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the Successor 2021 Period as the adjustment in fair value occurred subsequent to the MIS measurement period.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair values of the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

The results of operations of the acquired businesses for the period from June 22, 2020 to June 30, 2020 have been included in the results of operations for the Successor Q2 2020 Period; the post-acquisition revenues and net income included in the Successor Q2 2020 Period were $990 thousand and $793 thousand, respectively. The acquisition-related costs included in transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the Successor Q2 2020 Period were $4,132 thousand.

Roccor Acquisition

 

On October 28, 2020, the Successor acquired 100% of the equity interest of Roccor in exchange for cash and 1,564,531 Parent Units. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth in its offering of space structures.

 

The purchase agreement with the sellers of Roccor awarded such sellers with a contingent right to an earnout payment from the Company upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones for the year ended December 31, 2021. The earnout amount would be based on one of the following: (i) $0 if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is less than $30,000 thousand, (ii) $1,000 thousand if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is equal to or greater than $30,000 thousand but less than $40,000 thousand, (iii) $2,000 thousand if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is equal to or greater than $40,000 thousand. The fair value of the Roccor contingent earnout was estimated using the Black-Scholes OPM; the fair value of the Roccor contingent earnout was $550 thousand as of the acquisition date. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes OPM were as follows:

 

Roccor Black-Scholes OPM Assumptions        
Risk-free interest rate     0.1 %
Revenue discount rate     7.0 %
Revenue volatility     30.0 %
Earnout payment discount rate     4.0 %
         

 

During the Successor 2021 Period, the revenue based earnout of $225 thousand was recorded in contingent earnout expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The purchase agreement also stipulated that certain funds in the amount of $466 thousand were to be held in escrow (the “PBR Escrow”), subject to a variance (the “PBR Variance”), for the benefit of the sellers. The PBR Variance was defined as the excess revenue recorded by Roccor for the year ended December 31, 2020, based on the difference between Roccor’s forecasted revenues and Roccor’s actual revenues for the eight months ended August 31, 2020. Upon determination of the PBR Variance, an amount equal to (i) the PBR Escrow less (ii) the PBR Variance will be disbursed to the sellers of Roccor; any remaining PBR Escrow funds will be disbursed to the Company. Since the transfer of the PBR Escrow funds is contingent upon the PBR Variance, the Company’s obligation to deliver the PBR Escrow funds net of PBR Variance was determined to be a contingent consideration. The fair value of the PBR Variance was determined to be $359 thousand as of the acquisition date, therefore contingent consideration related to PBR Escrow was determined to be $107 thousand. PBR Escrow amount of $107 thousand was paid to sellers of Roccor in March 2021.

The results of operations of the acquired businesses for the period from February 17, 2021 to June 30, 2021 have been included in the results of operations for the Successor 2021 Period; the post-acquisition revenues and net loss included in the Successor 2021 Period were $10,888 thousand and ($294) thousand, respectively. The acquisition-related costs, which are included in transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the Successor 2021 Period were $1,566 thousand.

 

Pro Forma Financial Data (Unaudited)

 

The following table presents the pro forma combined results of operations for the business combinations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as though the acquisitions of Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor, and LoadPath (the “2020 business combinations”) had been completed as of January 1, 2019, and the acquisitions of Oakman and DPSS (the “2021 business combinations”) had been completed as of January 1, 2020. The pro forma six month period ended June 30, 2021 includes the pre-acquisition 2021 period, and Successor 2021 period for all entities. The pro forma six month period ended June 30, 2020 includes the Predecessor 2020 Period, the Successor Q2 2020 Period, and the pre-acquisition period for all business combinations.

 

    Pro forma for the six month period ended  
    June 30, 2021     June 30, 2020  
Revenues   $ 68,153     $ 57,290  
Net (loss) income     (22,066 )     (3,908 )

 

The amounts included in the pro forma information are based on the historical results and do not necessarily represent what would have occurred if the 2021 business combinations had taken place as of January 1, 2020 and the 2020 business combinations had taken place as of January 1, 2019, nor do they represent the results that may occur in the future. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the results that would have been realized had the business combination occurred as of the date indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

 

During the Successor 2021 Period, the Company incurred $2,419 thousand of acquisition related costs attributable to the business combinations, included in the Successor 2021 Period transaction expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. These expenses are reflected in the pro forma earnings for the six month period ended June 30, 2020, in the table above.

 

Note D – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, salaries and benefits payable, accrued interest, and other accrued expenses and current liabilities are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at amounts that approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial assets and liabilities.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value and is classified as a Level 2 fair value in the fair value hierarchy as it is based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate.

 

Contingent consideration consists of estimated future payments related to the Successor’s acquisitions of MIS and Roccor. As certain inputs are not observable in the market, contingent consideration payments are classified as Level 3 instruments and included in notes payable to seller on the Successor’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Significant changes in the significant unobservable inputs used in the Black-Scholes OPM used to determine the fair value of contingent consideration would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Company adjusts the previous fair value estimate of contingent consideration at each reporting period while considering changes in forecasted financial performance and overall change in risk based on the period of time elapsed.

These changes primarily related to settlement of net working capital adjustments. These changes were caused by new information becoming available during the Successor 2021 Period relating to events and circumstances existing at the acquisition date, therefore measurement period adjustments were recorded.

Note J – Debt

 

Adams Street Capital Credit Agreement

 

On October 28, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Adams Street Capital (the “Adams Street Credit Agreement”). The Adams Street Credit Agreement includes a $31,000 thousand term loan commitment, $5,000 thousand revolving credit facility commitment, and $15,000 thousand delayed draw term loan, all of which mature on October 28, 2026. On January 15, 2021, the Company drew $15,000 thousand on the delayed draw term loan to finance the Oakman acquisition. On February 17, 2021, the Company amended the Adams Street Capital Credit Agreement to increase the principal amount of the Adams Street Term Loan by an additional $32,000 thousand, which was incurred to finance the DPSS acquisition.

Silicon Valley Bank Loan Agreement

 

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a $45,350 thousand loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, which was subsequently modified to increase the principal on October 28, 2020 (the “SVB Loan”). On April 2, 2021, the Company subsequently amended the SVB Loan Agreement to extend the term from August 2021 to September 30, 2022.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, the Company remained compliant with the covenant requirements.

 

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loans

 

On May 1, 2020, prior to its acquisition, DSS received a PPP Loan for $1,058 thousand (the “DSS PPP Loan”). Under the terms of the DSS PPP Loan, DSS could apply for forgiveness under the PPP regulations if DSS used the proceeds of the loan for its payroll costs and other expenses in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. Proceeds from the DSS PPP loan, including interest calculated at a nominal and effective interest rate of 1.00% per annum, were included in a DSS savings account as of the DSS acquisition date. Any amount of the DSS PPP Loan forgiven and proportionate interest amount will be released to the seller of DSS. The Company has not and does not plan to use any of the DSS PPP Loan funds assumed as part of the DSS acquisition. On June 18, 2021, $608 thousand was forgiven and as a result was reclassified as a note payable to the seller of DSS. The remaining unforgiven balance of the loan will be paid according to the terms of DSS PPP Loan.

Subsequent to the six month period ended June 30, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of $41,626 thousand under the SVB Loan was repaid. See Note T – Subsequent Events for further details.

 

Interest expense, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, charged for the Successor 2021 Period was $3,190 thousand.

 

Note K – Leases

 

The Company is obligated under certain operating leases for its facilities and office equipment. Certain facility leases contained predetermined fixed escalation of minimum rents at rates ranging from 1.50% to 4.17% per annum and renewal options that could extend certain leases to up to five additional years; the office equipment lease contained a renewal option that could extend the lease to consecutive 60-day terms and a purchase option.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the future annual minimum lease payments for operating leases are as follows:

 

Fiscal Year   Total  
2021 Remaining   $ 1,427  
2022     3,320  
2023     3,553  
2024     3,525  
2025     2,578  
Thereafter     3,385  
Total   $ 17,788  

 

The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Rent expense under all leases for the Successor 2021 Period, Successor Q2 2020 Period, and Predecessor 2020 Period was $777 thousand, $106 thousand, and $228 thousand, respectively.

 

Note L – Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate on pre-tax income from continuing operations is as follows:

 

    Successor     Predecessor  
    Six month
period ended
June 30, 2021
   

Period from
February 10,
2020 to June 30,
2020

    Period from
January 1,
2020 to June
21, 2020
 
Effective tax rate     9.2 %     20.5 %     22.4 %

 

The effective tax rate for the Successor 2021 Period differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to nondeductible transaction costs, contingent earnout payments from the MIS acquisition, and changes in the estimated state income tax rate in connection with the acquisition of Oakman and DPSS partially offset by the estimated research and development income tax credit. The effective tax rate for the Successor Q2 2020 Period differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to a full valuation allowance of the net deferred tax asset. The effective tax rate for the Predecessor 2020 Period differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the full valuation allowance of the net deferred tax asset offset by the income tax benefit of the carry back of net operating losses under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).

 

The Company assesses the deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis. In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards are available. For the periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Successor has concluded that substantially all of the deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not realizable. For the period ended June 21, 2020, the Predecessor maintained a full valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to nil. The change in the valuation allowance is primarily as a result of the recording of deferred tax liabilities for fixed and intangible assets in connection with the 2020 business combinations.

During the Successor Q2 2020 Period, the Company matched employee contributions up to 50% for the Redwire 401(k) plan. The Company recognized expense for matching contributions related to all plans of $591 thousand for the Successor 2021 Period and none for the Successor Q2 2020 Period.

 

The Predecessor maintained a qualified 401(k) plan (the “Predecessor 401(k) Plan”) for its U.S. employees. The Predecessor did not make any contributions to the plan for the Predecessor 2020 Period.

 

Note N – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingencies in the Normal Course of Business

 

Under certain contracts with the U.S. government and certain governmental entities, contract costs, including indirect costs, are subject to audit by and adjustment through negotiation with governmental representatives. Revenue is recorded in amounts expected to be realized on final settlement of any such audits.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is subject to litigation, claims, investigations and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to any matters currently pending against the Company and intends to defend itself vigorously. The outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or cash flows.

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company has acquired and plans to continue to acquire businesses with prior operating histories. Acquired companies may have unknown or contingent liabilities. The associated acquisition costs incurred in the form of professional fees and services may be material to the future periods in which they occur, regardless of whether the acquisition is ultimately completed.

 

Note O – Equity

 

The Successor has an unlimited number of authorized Successor units (“Units”), of which 100 Units are issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020.

 

Profits and losses of the Successor are allocated among the Units based on the allocation of such profits and losses for purposes of calculating the Unit holders’ capital account balances; distributions are made to Unit holders based on their percentage interests at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Successor’s board of managers (the “Board”). The Cosmos Intermediate LLC agreement stipulates that any indemnity by the Successor shall be provided out of and to the extent of the Successor’s assets only; members do not have personal liability for any such indemnity.

Note P – Equity-Based Compensation

 

Class P Unit Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s Parent adopted a written compensatory benefit plan (the “Class P Unit Incentive Plan”) to provide incentives to existing or new employees, officers, managers, directors, or other service providers of the Company or its subsidiaries in the form of the Parent’s class P Units (“Incentive Units”). Incentive Units have a participation threshold of $1.00 and are divided into three tranches (“Tranche I,” “Tranche II,” and “Tranche III”): Tranche I, Tranche II, and Tranche III Incentive Units are subject to performance-based, service-based, and market-based conditions.

 

On March 24, 2021, the Company’s Parent amended the Class P Unit Incentive Plan so that the Tranche I and the Tranche III Incentive Units will immediately become fully vested, subject to continued employment or provision of services, upon the closing of the transaction stipulated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated March 25, 2021. The Company's Parent also amended the Class P Unit Incentive Plan so that the Tranche II Incentive Units will vest on any liquidation event, as defined in the Class P Unit Incentive Plan, rather than only upon consummation of the sale of the Parent, subject to the market-based condition stipulated in the Class P Unit Incentive Plan prior to its amendment. As of June 30, 2021, there was approximately $27,942 thousand of unrecognized compensation costs related to Incentive Units.

 

Note Q – Net Loss per Unit

 

The numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net loss per Unit are computed as follows (in thousands, except for Unit data):

 

    Successor  
    Six month period

Denominator:                
Weighted average Units outstanding – basic and diluted     100       100  
Basic and diluted loss per Unit   $ (236 )   $ (50 )

 

There were no potentially issuable Units or other dilutive securities in the Successor 2021 Period or for the Successor Q2 2020 Period.

 

Note R – Revenue

 

Based on the specific analysis of its contracts, the Company has determined that its contracts are subject to revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company’s revenues are derived from the design and sales of components for spacecraft and satellites and the performance of engineering, modeling and simulation services related to spacecraft design and mission execution. Each promised good or service within a contract is accounted for separately under the guidance of ASC 606 if they are distinct. Promised goods or services not meeting the criteria for being a distinct performance obligation are bundled into a single performance obligation with other goods or services that together meet the criteria for being distinct. The appropriate allocation of the transaction price and recognition of revenue is then applied for the bundled performance obligation. The Company has concluded that its service contracts generally contain a single performance obligation given the interrelated nature of the activities within the contract to which the transaction price is assigned and for which revenue is recognized over time.

 

 

 

 

COSMOS INTERMEDIATE, LLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and unit amounts)

 

The Company engages in long-term contracts for production and service activities and recognizes revenue for performance obligations over time. These long-term contracts involve the design, development, manufacture, or modification of components for spacecraft and satellites. Revenue is recognized over time (versus point in time recognition), as the Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, and the customer receives the benefit as the Company builds the asset. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. These contracts include both fixed-price and cost reimbursable contracts. The Company’s cost reimbursable contracts typically include cost-plus fixed fee and time and material (“T&M”) contracts.

 

Revenues by customer grouping are as follows:

 

    Successor     Predecessor  
    Six month period
ended June 30,

Commercial and other     17,216       2,011       123  
Total revenues   $ 63,846     $ 5,171     $ 16,651  

 

Contract Balances

 

Contract balances result from the timing of revenue recognized, billings and cash collections, and the generation of contract assets and liabilities.

 

Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer and the right to payment is not subject to the passage of time. Contract liabilities are presented as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and consist of deferred product revenue, billings in excess of revenues, deferred service revenue, and customer advances. Deferred product revenue represents amounts that have been invoiced to customers but are not yet recognizable as revenue because the Company has not satisfied its performance obligations under the contract. Billings in excess of revenues represents milestone billing contracts where the billings of the contract exceed recognized revenues.

 

Contract asset balances on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were $9,363 thousand as of June 30, 2021, compared to $4,172 thousand as of December 31, 2020. The increase in contract assets was primarily driven by growth in revenue recognized and timing of billable milestones occurring during the Successor 2021 Period ended June 30, 2021, and also by the acquisitions of Oakman and DPSS compared to December 31, 2020 before they were acquired.

 

Contract liability balances included in deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were $15,225 thousand as of June 30, 2021, compared to $15,665 thousand as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in contract liabilities was related to timing of billable milestones occurring during the Successor 2021 Period, partially offset by an increase related to the acquisitions of Oakman and DPSS during the Successor 2021 Period ending June 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020 before they were acquired. Revenue recognized in the Successor 2021 Period that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2020 was $11,423 thousand.

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

The Company includes in its computation of remaining performance obligations customer orders for which it has accepted signed sales orders. The definition of remaining performance obligations excludes those contracts accounted for under the "right to invoice" practical expedient. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $122,436 thousand. The Company expects to recognize approximately 78% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

Note S – Related Parties

 

During the Successor 2021 Period, Cosmos Intermediate, LLC paid $1,224 thousand in fees to AEI, of which $324 thousand related to management fees and $900 thousand related to transaction fees. As of June 30, 2021, $162 thousand of the related party management fees is included in accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

AE Industrial Partners Fund II, LP, AE Industrial Partners Fund II-A, LP and AE Industrial Partners Fund II-B, LP, the Company’s majority owners (collectively, “AE”), entered into a written support letter, dated as of July 6, 2021, with the Company to provide additional funding of up to $20,000 thousand to support its operating, investing and financing activities, in each case to the extent the Company is unable to obtain such support from another source. This additional liquidity commitment extends through the earlier of July 15, 2022, or up to the point at which the Company’s unencumbered cash balance first exceeds $30,000 thousand, including as a result of a capital transaction at an earlier date. The letter was renewed on August 20, 2021 with the same terms through the earlier of September 15, 2022 or up to the point at which the Company’s unencumbered cash balance first exceeds $30,000 thousand, including as a result of a capital transaction at an earlier date.

During the Successor Q2 2020 Period, the Successor paid $1,860 thousand in fees to AEI, of which $200 thousand related to an annual management fee and $1,660 thousand related to transaction fees. The Company made a $4,874 thousand payment to AEI in October 2020, which was reflected as an intercompany receivable due from AEI on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. This amount was repaid in February 2021.

 

Note T – Subsequent Events

 

On July 6, 2021, AE entered into a written support letter with the Company. The letter was renewed on August 20, 2021. Refer to Note S – Related Parties for further details.

 

On August 20, 2021, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the sellers of MIS regarding the contingent earnout payment set forth in the purchase agreement. The total fair value of the contingent earnout payment as of June 30, 2021, including the equity component is $11,491 thousand. Refer to Note C – MIS Acquisition for further details.

 

On August 31, 2021, the Company repaid $172 thousand of outstanding principal on the SVB Loan.

 

On September 2, 2021, the Company consummated the previously announced Merger pursuant to the business combination agreement dated March 25, 2021 by and among Genesis Park Acquisition Corp, Shepard Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis Park Acquisition Corp, Cosmos and Holdings. Upon the closing of the Merger, Genesis Park Acquisition Corp was renamed to Redwire Corporation (“New Redwire”). The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in which Genesis Park Acquisition Corp is treated as the acquired company. A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company in many respects. The Company was deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, New Redwire.

 

As a result of the Merger, New Redwire issued 37,200,000 shares of common stock and paid $75,000 thousand to the Parent in exchange for units of the Company. New Redwire received aggregate gross proceeds of $110,583 thousand from the trust account and PIPE proceeds. Proceeds from the Merger were partially used to fund the $41,555 thousand repayment of the SVB Loan, including interest of $102 thousand, and transaction costs of $38,747 thousand. As the remaining proceeds increased New Redwire's cash balance in excess of the terms of the support letter, the AE liquidity commitment is no longer binding.

 

On September 2, 2021, the Adams Street Credit Agreement was amended to provide that the consolidated total net leverage ratio not exceed 6.50:1.00 on the last day of any quarter (“the Financial Covenant”), to remove the cap on the amount of unrestricted cash which may be netted for purposes of the Financial Covenant, to redefine “Consolidated EBITDA”, and to reset the call protection terms.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the condensed consolidated balance sheet of June 30, 2021 through the condensed consolidated financial statement issuance date and there were no additional subsequent events that required disclosure.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

 

Introduction

 

Genesis Park Acquisition Corp. (“GPAC”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 29, 2020 and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

 

AE Industrial Partners Fund II, LP (“AE”), a private equity firm specializing in aerospace, defense and government services, formed a series of acquisition vehicles on February 10, 2020, which included Cosmos Parent, LLC (“Cosmos Parent”), Cosmos Intermediate, LLC (“Cosmos”), Cosmos Finance, LLC (“Cosmos Finance”) and Cosmos Acquisition, LLC, (“Cosmos Acquisition”), with Cosmos Parent being the top holding company. Cosmos Parent owned 100% of the equity in Cosmos; Cosmos owned 100% of the equity in Cosmos Finance; and Cosmos Finance owned 100% of the equity in Cosmos Acquisition. Upon the formation of these acquisition vehicles, Cosmos effected a number of acquisitions through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cosmos Acquisition:

 

on March 2, 2020, Cosmos Acquisition acquired a business unit of Adcole Corporation, Adcole Space, LLC (“Adcole”) for consideration of approximately $32.6 million (the “Adcole Acquisition”);

 

on June 22, 2020, Cosmos Acquisition acquired In Space Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “MIS”) for consideration of approximately $45.4 million (the “MIS Acquisition”). On the same date, the name of Cosmos Parent, LLC changed to Redwire, LLC (“Holdings”);

 

on October 28, 2020, Cosmos Acquisition acquired Roccor, LLC (“Roccor”) for consideration of approximately $17.9 million (the “Roccor Acquisition”); and

 

on February 17, 2021, Cosmos Acquisition acquired Deployable Space Systems, Inc. (“DPSS”) for consideration of approximately $24.8 million (the “DPSS Acquisition”).

 

Additionally, Cosmos Acquisition acquired (a) Deep Space Systems, Inc. (“DSS”) on June 1, 2020 for consideration of approximately $4.9 million (the “DSS Acquisition”); (b) LoadPath, LLC (“LoadPath”) on December 11, 2020 for consideration of approximately $8.4 million (the “LoadPath Acquisition”), and (c) Oakman Aerospace, Inc. (“Oakman”) on January 15, 2021 for consideration of approximately $15.2 million (the “Oakman Acquisition”). The Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, the DSS Acquisition, the LoadPath Acquisition, and the Oakman Acquisition have been accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Cosmos performed an analysis using the pro forma combined results of Cosmos at December 31, 2020 and concluded that each of the DSS Acquisition, the LoadPath Acquisition, and the Oakman Acquisition are below the 20% significance threshold; in this section, we refer to the DSS Acquisition, the LoadPath Acquisition, and the Oakman Acquisition, collectively, as the “Other Acquisitions”. In this current report on Form 8-K, we refer to Cosmos Finance, Cosmos Acquisition, Adcole, MIS, Roccor, DPSS, DSS, LoadPath and Oakman, collectively, as the “Redwire Subsidiaries” and unless the context otherwise requires, we refer to Cosmos together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including the Redwire Subsidiaries, as “Redwire.”

 

Description of the Business Combination

 

On March 25, 2021, GPAC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among GPAC, Shepard Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GPAC (“Merger Sub”), Cosmos and Holdings.

 

1

 

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto entered into a business combination transaction by which (i) GPAC domesticated as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands (the “Domestication”), (ii) Merger Sub merged with and into Cosmos, with Cosmos being the surviving entity in the merger (the “First Merger”), and (iii) immediately following the First Merger, Cosmos merged with and into GPAC, with GPAC being the surviving entity in the merger (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GPAC also required that, as of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) any and all amounts outstanding under Redwire’s Credit Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2020, by and among Cosmos, Silicon Valley Bank, Stifel Bank and Western Alliance (as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, “the SVB Loan Agreement” and any all such amounts outstanding under the SVB Loan Agreement, the “SVB Payoff Amount”) be repaid and all obligations thereunder be discharged as of the Closing (such repayment of the SVB Payoff Amount together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). In this current report on Form 8-K, we refer to the Domestication and the Transactions, collectively, as the “Business Combination” and “New Redwire” refers to GPAC after giving effect to the Business Combination.

 

In connection with the foregoing and concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, GPAC entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to subscribe for and purchase from GPAC, and GPAC has agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of New Redwire Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $100.0 million (the “PIPE Financing”). GPAC will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing was contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent Closing.

 

The aggregate consideration paid to Holdings (the “Closing Merger Consideration”) was paid in a combination of cash and stock consideration. The cash consideration was comprised of $75.0 million (such amount, the “Closing Cash Consideration”). The remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration was comprised of (i) 37,200,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of GPAC (the “New Redwire Common Stock,” and such shares, the “Closing Share Consideration”) and (ii) 2,000,000 warrants to purchase one share of New Redwire Common Stock per warrant (the “Closing Warrant Consideration”), with such amount of warrants corresponding to the forfeiture of certain private placement warrants acquired by the Sponsor and Jefferies in connection with GPAC’s initial public offering. At the effective time of the First Merger, the units of Cosmos were cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, in the aggregate, the Closing Cash Consideration, the Closing Share Consideration and the Closing Warrant Consideration.

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements and the completion of the Mergers, but following the consummation of the Domestication, the authorized capital stock of GPAC consists of 600,000,000 shares of capital stock, including (i) 500,000,000 shares of New Redwire Common Stock and (ii) 100,000,000 shares of New Redwire Preferred Stock, of which GPAC issued 37,200,000 shares of New Redwire Common Stock in the Business Combination, 10,000,000 shares of New Redwire Common Stock in the PIPE Financing and 4,094,406 shares of New Redwire Common Stock upon the conversion of GPAC’s outstanding Class B ordinary shares, and GPAC had 15,920,979 warrants issued and outstanding, of which 5,406,541 warrants were issued to the Sponsor, 325,627 warrants were issued to Jefferies and 2,000,000 warrants were issued to Holdings in the Business Combination (after giving effect to the forfeiture by the Sponsor and Jefferies of 1,886,000 and 114,000 private placement warrants, respectively, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination), and all of which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase New Redwire Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in the GPAC Warrant Agreement.

Accounting for the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with the net assets of GPAC stated at historical cost and no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, GPAC is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Redwire issuing stock for the net assets of GPAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Redwire.

 

Redwire has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

  Members of Holdings’ senior management will hold all of New Redwire’s key management positions;

 

  Holdings will have the largest voting interest in New Redwire under any redemption scenario;

 

Five of the seven members of the New Redwire Board will initially be selected by Holdings and its permitted transferees;

 

  The Redwire Subsidiaries will comprise the ongoing operations of New Redwire; and

 

  Redwire is larger in relative size than GPAC.

 

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of New Redwire upon consummation of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 is based on the historical unaudited balance sheets of Cosmos and GPAC as of June 30, 2021 and gives effect to the Business Combination, including the PIPE Financing, as if it had occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of Cosmos for the period from February 10, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and the historical audited restated statement of operations of GPAC for the period from July 29, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020 and has been prepared to reflect the Business Combination as if it occurred on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 combines the historical unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations of Cosmos for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the historical unaudited statement of operations of GPAC for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and has been prepared to reflect the Business Combination as if it occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects the impact of the Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, and the Other Acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflects the impact of the DPSS Acquisition and the Other Acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not necessarily reflect what New Redwire’s results of operations would have been had the Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, the Other Acquisitions, and the Business Combination occurred on the date indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations also may not be useful in predicting the future results of operations of New Redwire. The actual financial results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.            Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”) in the notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. Redwire has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and is only presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 presents pro forma effects to reflect the Business Combination as if it had been completed on June 30, 2021.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 presents pro forma effects to the Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, the Other Acquisitions, and the Business Combination as if they had been completed on January 1, 2020.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 presents pro forma effects to the DPSS Acquisition, the Other Acquisitions, and the Business Combination as if they had been completed on January 1, 2020.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 has been prepared using and should be read in conjunction with the following, which are included in this current report on Form 8-K:

 

GPAC’s unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the related notes; and

 

Cosmos’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the related notes.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been prepared using and should be read in conjunction with the following, which are included in this current report on Form 8-K:

 

GPAC’s historical audited restated statement of operations for the period from July 29, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020 and the related notes;

 

Cosmos’s (“Successor”) historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the period from February 10, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and MIS’s (“Predecessor”) historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the period from January 1, 2020 to June 21, 2020 and the related notes;

 

Adcole’s historical audited statement of operations for the period from January 1, 2020 to March 1, 2020 and the related notes;

 

Roccor’s historical unaudited interim condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the related notes; and

 

DPSS’s historical audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 has been prepared using and should be read in conjunction with the following, which are included in this current report on Form 8-K:

 

9 

 

 

GPAC’s historical unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the related notes; and

 

Cosmos’s (“Successor”) historical unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the related notes.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the actual withdrawal of $66 million from the Trust Account to fund the GPAC public stockholders’ exercise of their redemption rights on August 30, 2021 with respect to 6,510,755 Class A ordinary shares, as well as the reclassification of the remaining 4,801,809 Class A Ordinary Shares formerly deemed redeemable at June 30, 2021 to New Redwire common stock.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, the Other Acquisitions, or the Business Combination. New Redwire will incur additional costs after the Business Combination in order to satisfy its obligations as a reporting public company with the SEC. No adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations has been made for these items as the amounts are not yet known.

 

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination and completion of the PIPE Financing are based on certain currently available information at the Closing and certain assumptions and methodologies that GPAC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the differences may be material. GPAC believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing contemplated based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, the Other Acquisitions, or the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of New Redwire.

 

2.            Accounting Policies

 

Since GPAC had substantially no business operations as a blank check company, its limited accounting policies were not in conflict with those of Cosmos. Accordingly, the combined company uses the accounting policies of Cosmos as described in Note 1 to Cosmos’s audited consolidated financial statements for the period from February 10, 2020 to December 31, 2020 included in this current report on Form 8-K. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any differences in accounting policies.

 

3.            Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:

 

a) Reflects (1) the redemption of 6,510,755 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares for an aggregate payment of $66 million at $10.15 per share and (2) the transfer of approximately $100 million from the Trust Account to fund the transaction.

 

10 

 

 

b) Reflects the gross cash proceeds from the PIPE Financing of $85 million for 8,500,000 shares of New Redwire Common Stock.

 

c) Reflects the exchange of the remaining 4,801,809 Class A Ordinary Shares formerly deemed redeemable at June 30, 2021 for New Redwire common stock..

 

d) Reflects (1) the reclassification of the fair value of the public warrants from liability to equity, and (2) the exchange of GPAC’s 4,498,339 Class A ordinary shares and of 4,094,406 Class B ordinary shares to New Redwire Common Stock, as well as the elimination of GPAC’s historical accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital.

 

e) Reflects the recapitalization of Cosmos, including the reclassification of members’ equity to New Redwire Common Stock, based on the Closing Share Consideration, and additional paid-in capital.

 

f) Reflects the settlement of estimated remaining unpaid transaction expenses. Estimated remaining unpaid transaction expenses are made up of (1) GPAC’s deferred underwriting fees that are recorded on the historical balance sheet as of June 30, 2021; (2a) Cosmos’ expenses to be incurred in connection with the issuance of equity (with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital); and (2b) GPAC’s transaction costs expected to be expensed as incurred and Cosmos’s expenses unrelated to the issuance of equity.

 

g) Reflects the payment of the Closing Cash Consideration to shareholders of Holdings.

 

h) Reflects the recognition of share-based compensation related to certain equity incentives issued by Holdings that would vest on an accelerated basis as a result of the Business Combination.

 

i) Reflects the SVB Payoff Amount based on Cosmos’ indebtedness as of June 30, 2021.

 

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

 

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations to reflect the effects of the Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, the Other Acquisitions, as well as the Business Combination, on Cosmos’s historical financial statements. Cosmos, GPAC, Adcole, MIS, Roccor, DSS, LoadPath, Oakman, and DPSS had no historical relationships prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had New Redwire filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of New Redwire’s weighted average shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing had occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

The Adcole Acquisition, the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the DPSS Acquisition, and the Other Acquisitions pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

j) Adjustment to include pre-acquisition amortization on the fair value of the acquired intangible assets and additional depreciation on the fair value step-up of the acquired property and equipment.

 

k) Additional transaction expenses incurred by Cosmos for the DPSS Acquisition and the Other Acquisitions subsequent to December 31, 2020.

 

11 

 

 

l) Adjustment to (1) include the interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the MIS Acquisition, the Roccor Acquisition, the Oakman Acquisition, and the DPSS Acquisition as if they had taken place as of January 1, 2020, based on the effective interest rates related to debt agreements leveraged to finance each of those acquisitions, and (2) eliminate the pre-acquisition interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing fees, related to the outstanding debt balances of MIS, Roccor, and the Other Acquisitions (specifically, the DSS Acquisition), which were settled by the sellers of MIS, Roccor, and DSS with proceeds from the sale.

 

m) Adjustment for income taxes, applying a statutory tax rate of 21% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

The Business Combination pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

n) Adjustment to include the share-based compensation related to vesting of profit interests, issued by Holdings to employees of Redwire, on consummation of the Business Combination.

 

o) Adjustment to include GPAC’s transaction costs expected to be expensed as incurred subsequent to December 31, 2020 and Cosmos’s transaction costs unrelated to the issuance of equity expected to be expensed as incurred subsequent to December 31, 2020. These costs will not affect New Redwire’s statement of operations beyond 12 months after the Closing.

 

p) Elimination of GPAC’s trust account interest income of approximately $0.01 million and Cosmos’s interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs of approximately $1.2 million, related to the paydown of debt, that would not have been incurred if the Business Combination had occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

q) Adjustment for income taxes, applying a statutory tax rate of 21% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

The DPSS Acquisition and the Oakman Acquisition pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows:

 

r) Adjustment to include pre-acquisition amortization on the fair value of the acquired intangible assets and additional depreciation on the fair value step-up of the acquired property and equipment.

 

s) Adjustment to include the interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the DPSS Acquisition and Oakman Acquisition as if they had taken place as of January 1, 2020.

 

t) Adjustment for income taxes, applying a statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

The Business Combination pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows:

 

u) Elimination of GPAC’s trust account interest income of approximately $0.05 million and Cosmos’s interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs of approximately $0.6 million, related to the paydown of debt, that would not have been incurred if the Business Combination had occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

v) Adjustment for income taxes, applying a statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

4.            Loss per Share

 

Represents the unaudited loss per share calculated based on the recapitalization resulting from the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. The following tables set forth the computation of pro forma basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021; amounts are stated in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share amounts.

 

Because the exercise price of the Closing Warrant Consideration is greater than the average market price of GPAC Class A ordinary shares for the periods presented below, the Closing Warrant Consideration is considered anti-dilutive and any shares that would be issued upon exercise of the Closing Warrant Consideration are not included in loss per share.
