Description of Securities

 

The following description of the Company’s capital stock is a summary and is not complete. We urge you to read in their entirety the Company’s Charter, which is filed as an exhibit to Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

 

The Charter authorizes the issuance of 425,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (x) 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and (y) 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Immediately following the Closing, there were 48,511,028 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding, held of record by 42 holders, no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 27,093,316 warrants outstanding held of record by 4 holders. Such amounts do not include DTC participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Power

 

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any amendment or restatement of the Charter establishing for any series of preferred stock, the holders of the Company’s common stock possess all voting power for the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

Dividends

 

Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by Company’s board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

 

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

 

In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company, the holders Company’s common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of Company’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after Company has satisfied or made provision for the satisfaction of its debts and obligations and shall have paid or made provision for satisfaction of the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any.

 

9  

 

 

Preemptive or Other Rights

 

There are no preemptive or other subscription rights and no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to holders of Company’s common stock.

 

Election of Directors

 

The Charter does not provide for cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. The board of directors of the Company is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be subject to election at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. The Company’s bylaws contemplate, among other things, that (i) at a meeting of shareholders in which the number of nominees for election to the board of directors is equal to or less than the number of directors to be elected, a nominee for director shall be elected to the board of directors only if the votes cast “for” such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “against” such nominee’s election, with “abstentions,” “broker non-votes” and “withheld votes” not counted as a vote “for” or “against” such nominee’s election and (ii) at a meeting of shareholders in which the number of nominees for election to the board of directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at such meeting.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The board of directors will be able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company or the removal of existing management. The Company had no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although the Company does not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, it cannot assure you that it will not do so in the future.

 

Warrants

 

Public Warrants

 

Immediately following the Closing, the Company had 18,400,000 public warrants outstanding. Each public warrant will entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on March 21, 2019. A warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. The warrants will expire on February 19, 2024, which is five years after the date of the Closing, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to its satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a share of common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant.

 

The Company is obligated to file with the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than March 12, 2019, a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60 th day after the Closing, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

 

10  

 

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

 

· in whole and not in part;

 

· at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

· upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

 

· if, and only if, the reported closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

If and when the warrants become redeemable, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

The Company established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price (for whole shares) after the redemption notice is issued.

 

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, it will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its shareholders of issuing the maximum number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. If the Company takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If the Company takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption and does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the private placement warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

 

A holder of a warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

 

If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is increased by a share dividend payable in common stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering to holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, in determining the price payable for shares of common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of shares of common stock as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

 

In addition, if at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of common stock on account of such common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, or (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of shares of common stock in connection with the business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of common stock in respect of such event.

 

11  

 

 

If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of the shares of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Whenever the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of common stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of shares of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.

 

The warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

 

The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

 

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the Company, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

 

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

The private placement warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until March 21, 2019, subject to certain exceptions, and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

 

12  

 

 

If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value’’ (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.

 

Dividends

 

The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon the Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the business combination is within the discretion of the board of directors at such time. Further, if the Company incurs any indebtedness, its ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants the Company may agree to in connection therewith.

 

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

 

The transfer agent for the Company’s common stock and warrant agent for its warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the founder shares and private placement warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the IPO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back’’ registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the business combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs in the case of the founder shares, on the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the business combination or (B) subsequent to the business combination, (i) if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the business combination or (ii) the date on which the Company complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, subject to certain exceptions.

 

In addition, holders of the Company’s common stock who received their shares (i) pursuant to the Transaction Agreements as consideration in connection with the acquisition of the Targets and (ii) pursuant to certain Subscription Agreements entered in connection with the business combination, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to which the Company is obligated to register the resale of such shares.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Massachusetts Law and the Charter

 

The Company, as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is subject to the provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws.

 

Chapter 110F of the Massachusetts General Laws generally provides that, if a person acquires 5% or more of the stock of a Massachusetts corporation without the approval of the board of directors of that corporation, such person may not engage in certain transactions with the corporation for a period of three years following the time that person becomes a 5% shareholder, with certain exceptions. A Massachusetts corporation may elect in its articles of organization or bylaws not be governed by Chapter 110F.

 

Under the Massachusetts control share acquisitions statute (Chapter 110D of the Massachusetts General Laws), a person who acquires beneficial ownership of shares of stock of a corporation in a threshold amount equal to one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of the voting stock of the corporation, referred to as a control share acquisition, must obtain the approval of a majority of shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (excluding (1) any shares owned by any person acquiring or proposing to acquire beneficial ownership of shares in a control share acquisition, (2) any shares owned by any officer of the corporation and (3) any shares owned by any employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation) for the purpose of acquiring voting rights for the shares that such person acquires in crossing the foregoing thresholds.

 

13  

 

 

The Massachusetts control share acquisitions statute permits the corporation, to the extent authorized by its articles of organization or bylaws, to redeem all shares acquired by an acquiring person in a control share acquisition for fair value (which is to be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the corporation) if (1) no control share acquisition statement is delivered by the acquiring person or (2) a control share acquisition statement has been delivered and voting rights were not authorized for such shares by the shareholders in accordance with the applicable provision of the control share acquisitions statute.

 

If the voting rights for shares acquired in a control share acquisition are authorized by a majority of shareholders, the acquirer has acquired beneficial ownership of a majority or more of all voting power in the election of directors, then each stockholder of record, other than the acquirer, who has not voted in favor of authorizing voting rights for the control may demand payment for his or her stock and an appraisal in accordance with M.G.L. chapter 156D.

 

The Massachusetts control share acquisition statute permits a Massachusetts corporation to elect not to be governed by the statute’s provisions by including a provision in the corporation’s articles of organization or bylaws pursuant to which the corporation opts out of the statute.

 

Massachusetts law provides that the board of directors of a public corporation be staggered into three groups having terms of three years. This could make it difficult to replace a majority of the board in any one year. A corporation may elect not to be governed by this provision by a vote of the board of directors, or by two-thirds of each class of stock outstanding at a meeting duly called for the purpose of voting on an exemption.

 

Chapter 110C of the Massachusetts General Laws (1) subjects an offeror to certain disclosure and filing requirements before such offeror can proceed with a takeover bid, defined to include any acquisition of or offer to acquire stock by which, after acquisition, the offeror would own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of a target company and (2) provides that, if a person (together with its associates and affiliates) beneficially owns more than 5% of the stock of a Massachusetts corporation, such person may not make a takeover bid if during the preceding year such person acquired any of the subject stock with the undisclosed intent of gaining control of the corporation. The statute contains certain exceptions to these prohibitions, including if the board of directors approves the takeover bid, recommends it to the corporation’s shareholders and the terms of the takeover are furnished to shareholders. The validity of Chapter 110C has been called into questioned by a 1982 US Supreme Court decision that invalidated a similar law in the state of Illinois.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Charter provides that the Company’s officers and directors will be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”), as it presently exists, or may in the future be amended. In addition, the Charter provides that the Company’s directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Company for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, acted not in good faith or with intentional misconduct, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors. The Company intends to enter into agreements with its officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Charter. The Charter also permits the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA. The Company has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures the Company against its obligations to indemnify its officers and directors.

Notification of Successor Issuer under Rule 12g-3

 

Upon the consummation of the GTY Merger, each outstanding Class A ordinary share of GTY Cayman, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) was cancelled and exchanged for one share of Company common stock in accordance with the terms of the GTY Agreement. Each Class B Ordinary Share was converted into one Class A Ordinary Share immediately prior to the consummation of the GTY Merger in accordance with GTY Cayman’s second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, following which each Class A Ordinary Share issued upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares was then cancelled and exchanged for one share of Company common stock. In addition, GTY Cayman’s outstanding warrants were assumed by the Company and became exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms as were contained in such warrants prior to the GTY Merger. By operation of Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is the successor issuer to GTY Cayman and has succeeded to the attributes of GTY Cayman as the registrant, including GTY Cayman’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) file number (001-37931) and CIK Code (0001682325). The Company’s common stock and public warrants are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company will hereafter file reports and other information with the SEC using GTY Cayman’s SEC file number (001-37931).

Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Institutional Investors

 

On February 13, 2019, the Company, the Sponsor, William D. Green, Joseph M. Tucci and Harry L. You (Messrs. Green, Tucci and You, collectively, the “Founders”) entered into agreements and arrangements with certain institutional investors pursuant to which a total of 1,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares were not redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. An aggregate of 500,000 of such shares are subject to a lock-up pursuant to which such shares may not be transferred until the 91st day following Closing without the consent of the Company and the Founders, and the holder of such shares is entitled to put such shares to the Sponsor and the Founders following the lock-up period for a purchase price equal to the price at which the Company redeemed Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, $10.29 (the “redemption price”), payment of which purchase price is guaranteed by the Company, and to receive from the Company a cash payment, if and to the extent necessary, but not to exceed $250,000, in order to provide such shareholder with at least a 5% return on such shares above the redemption price. With respect to 1,000,000 of such shares, the Company engaged a broker-dealer to facilitate the purchase of such shares by an institutional investor prior to the Closing for $9.90 per share and agreed to pay such broker-dealer an amount in cash equal to the difference between the redemption price and $9.90. In addition, the Sponsor and the Founders entered into agreements prior to the Closing pursuant to which they are obligated to reimburse the holders of 1,942,953 Class A Ordinary Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Business Combination for losses that may be incurred upon the sale of such shares within a specified period following the Closing, up to an agreed-upon limit, and the Company has agreed to guarantee such reimbursement obligations.

WHEREAS , the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Committee ”) has duly made all determinations necessary or appropriate to the grants hereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

4.                   Certificates; Transferability . Units awarded under Section 2 will be credited to a book entry account maintained by the Company on behalf of the Participant, and such book entry will appropriately record the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Units. Neither unvested Units, nor the right to vote such Units and receive dividends thereon, may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered.

 

5.                   Rights as a Stockholder . Unless and until a Unit has vested and the Share underlying it has been distributed to the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Unit or that Share. Except as provided in this Section 5 or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Units granted hereunder prior to the date on which he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company. Notwithstanding any other part of this Agreement, any quarterly or other regular, periodic dividends or distributions (as determined by the Company) paid on Shares will accrue with respect to (i) unvested Units, and (ii) Units that are vested but unpaid pursuant to Section 3, and in each case will be subject to the same forfeitures provisions (if any), and be paid out at the same time or time(s), as the underlying Units on which such dividends or other distributions have accrued.

 

6.                   Plan . The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Units are granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the date of the Agreement, and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided by the Plan, no amendment to either the Plan or this Agreement will deprive the Participant, without the Participant’s consent, of any Units or of the Participant’s rights under this Agreement. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement, the Units, and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose of administering the Plan, will be final and binding upon the Participant.

 

7.                   No Continued Employment Rights . No provision of the Plan or this Agreement will give the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, create any inference as to the length of employment of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

8.                   Changes in Company’s Capital or Organizational Structure . The existence of the Units shall not affect in any way the right or authority of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of preferred Shares ahead of or affecting the Shares or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

 

9.                   Delays . In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Company shall have the right to suspend or delay any time period prescribed in this Agreement or in the Plan for any action if the Committee shall determine that the action may constitute a violation of any law or result in any liability under any law to the Company, an Affiliate or a shareholder in the Company until such time as the action required or permitted will not constitute a violation of law or result in liability to the Company, an Affiliate or a shareholder of the Company.

10.                Governing Law; Construction . This Agreement and the Units will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of law principles. The jurisdiction and venue for any disputes arising under, or any action brought to enforce (or otherwise relating to), this Agreement will be exclusively in the courts in the State of Delaware, including the Federal Courts located therein (should Federal jurisdiction exist). Common nouns and pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural, as the context requires.

 

11.                Entire Agreement . This Agreement, together with the Plan and any other agreements incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire obligation of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any prior written or oral expressions of intent or understanding with respect to such subject matter (provided, that this Agreement shall not supersede any written consulting agreement or other written agreement between the Company and the Participant, including, but not limited to, any written restrictive covenant agreements). The Participant represents that, in executing this Agreement, he does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made by the Company with regard to the subject matter, bases or effect of this Agreement or otherwise.

 

12.                Amendment . This Agreement may be amended as provided in the Plan.

 

13.                Waiver; Cumulative Rights . The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement will not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each right under this Agreement is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to time.

 

14.                Counterparts . This Agreement may be signed in two counterparts, each of which will be an original, but both of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

15.                Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

16.                Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

 

17.                No Strict Construction . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

18.                Successors and Assigns . This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company. All obligations imposed upon the Participant or a representative, and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement, will be binding upon the Participant’s or the representative’s heirs, legal representatives and successors.

19.                Tax Consequences . Upon the payment of the Award in accordance with Section 3 above, the Participant shall recognize taxable income in respect of the Award and the Company shall report such taxable income to the appropriate taxing authorities in respect of the Award as it determines to be necessary and appropriate. The Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company, or to withhold from amounts payable to the Participant, as compensation or otherwise (including, without limitation, in settlement of any vested Units), an amount sufficient to satisfy all foreign, federal, state and local withholding tax requirements, as applicable. The Company may permit the Participant to satisfy any required withholding obligation by reducing the number of Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the vesting of the Award.

 

20.                Code Section 409A Compliance . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Committee determines that any portion of the Units granted under this Agreement is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A ( “Section 409A” ) and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, the Committee reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace such portion of the Units in order to cause such portion of the Units to either not be subject to Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.

Exhibit 99.1

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on Bonfire’s, CityBase’s, eCivis’s, Open Counter’s, Questica’s and Sherpa’s historical financial statement (“the Targets”) and GTY’s historical financial statements, as adjusted to give effect to the business combination, on February 19, 2019, under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 gives effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 gives effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on September 30, 2018. The business combination will be accounted for as an acquisition under ASC 805, pursuant to which GTY will be treated as the accounting acquirer and the six Targets as the acquirees. This determination was primarily based on existing GTY shareholders having voting control, and GTY’s current board of directors and management comprising the board of directors and management, of New GTY following the business combination. All six Targets will be deemed the accounting predecessors.

 

The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read together with the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are related and/or directly attributable to the business combination, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the business combination. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and currently available information and assumptions that GTY management believes are reasonable. The notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements provide a discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. As a result, there may be material adjustments to the pro forma combined financial statements.

 

The Questica and Bonfire audited balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 were denominated in Canadian dollars. We converted the Questica and Bonfire audited balance sheets using the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as of September 30, 2018. The Questica and Bonfire audited statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were denominated in Canadian dollars. We converted the Questica and Bonfire audited statements of operations to U.S. Dollars based on the average exchange rate for the period ended September 30, 2018.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read together with GTY’s, Bonfire’s, CityBase’s, eCivis’s, Open Counter’s, Questica’s and Sherpa’s historical financial statements, “ GTY’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Bonfire’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “CityBase’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “eCivis’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Open Counter’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Questica’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Sherpa’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the other financial information included in Form S-4 filed on January 11, 2019.

(3) To reflect the payments of GTY’s accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

(4) To reflect the payments of other transaction fees of $12.7 million (including $3.25 million of deferred underwriting fees, $7.6 million of GTY’s transaction expenses and $1.8 million in Target expenses). The deferred underwriting fees of $19.3 million, was reduced by $16.1 million. The amendment resulted in a $16.1 million increase to retained earnings, offset by the payment of other transaction expenses of $9.5 million which resulted in a net increase to retained earnings of $6.6 million.

 

  

 

 

(5) To reflect the dividends of Target cash, receivables and investment balances, net of payable and debt balances, to Target shareholders.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities are recognized based on their estimated fair values as of the business combination closing date. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 30, 2018 and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the business combination.

 

GTY recognized a deferred tax benefit as a result of the acquisitions. Due to the acquisitions, a temporary difference between the book and the tax basis for the intangible assets acquired of $33.8 million (based upon an estimated 30% effective tax rate for the Targets) was created resulting in a deferred tax liability and additional goodwill. With the increase in the deferred tax liability, GTY reduced its deferred tax asset valuation allowance by the amount of net operating loss that could offset the amortization of the deferred tax liability associated with the value of the intangible assets acquired resulting in the recognition of a deferred tax benefit (credit to retained earnings) of approximately $33.8 million.

 

This adjustment of contract liabilities represents the estimated adjustment to decrease the assumed contract liabilities to a fair value of approximately $5.1 million, a reduction of $6.4 million from the carrying value. The calculation of fair value is preliminary and subject to change. The fair value was determined based on the estimated costs to fulfill the remaining service obligations plus a normal profit margin. After the acquisition, this adjustment will have a continuing impact and will reduce revenue related to the assumed performance obligations as the services are provided.

 

The purchase price allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are conducted following the completion of the business combination. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

 

The following is the preliminary estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and ensuing goodwill identified, reconciled to the purchase price transferred:

Goodwill represents expected synergies from combining operations and the assembled workforce.

 

Customer relationships, the trade name and non-compete agreements were measured using the multiple-period excess earnings method, the relief from royalty method and the lost income method, respectively.

 

The fair value of the stock consideration was based upon the closing price of common share of GTYH on February 20, 2019 and the price paid by PIPE investors or $10.00 per share.

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Combined Statement of Operations:

 

(1) Derived from audited statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, except for GTY, which was derived from its unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Questica and Bonfire audited statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were denominated in Canadian dollars. We converted the audited Questica and Bonfire statements of operations to U.S. Dollars based on the average exchange rate for the period ended September 30, 2018.

 

(2) Represents the amortization of intangibles related to the business combination. We adjusted our estimated useful life of the acquired intangible assets to 10 years. The estimated useful lives were determined based on a review of the time period over which economic benefit is estimated to be generated as well as additional factors. Factors considered include contractual life, the period over which a majority of cash flow is expected to be generated, and/or management’s view based on historical experience with similar assets.
