Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 21, 2021, Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, FVAC Merger Corp. II, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Wilco Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by Parent’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”, and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Company will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

The Merger Agreement and the Business Combination were unanimously approved by the board of directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) on February 21, 2021.

The Merger Agreement

Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the consideration to be paid in respect of each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding (other than any such shares held by the Company’s treasury or held, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the number of such issued and outstanding shares, the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”), will be:

 

   

(a) a number of shares of Class A common stock of Parent (with each share valued at $10.00), par value $0.0001 per share (“Parent Class A Stock”), equal in value to (i) $1,303,000,000, divided by (ii) the Outstanding Company Common Stock; and

 

   

(b) the contingent right to receive a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock that may be issued pursuant to an earnout, as described below and in the Merger Agreement (such shares, the “Earn Out Shares”), following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”, and the date on which the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the consideration to be paid in respect of each share of preferred stock of the Company issued and outstanding (other than any such shares held by the Company’s treasury or held, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the number of such issued and outstanding shares, the “Outstanding Company Preferred Stock”), shall be:

 

   

(a) an amount in cash, equal to $59,000,000 (the “Preferred Cash Consideration”), divided by the Outstanding Company Preferred Stock, and

 

   

(b) a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock equal in value to (i) the product of (A) (x) the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Company Certificate of Incorporation (the “Company Charter”)) as of the Closing Date with respect to the Company’s preferred stock (after reducing such Liquidation Amount by the Preferred Cash Consideration) (the “Preferred Stock Adjusted Base”) plus (y) an aggregate accrued amount, calculated based on the Preferred Stock Adjusted Base, at the Dividend Rate (as defined in the Company Charter) from the Closing Date through the date that is 180 days from the Closing Date, multiplied by (B) 1.05, divided by (ii) the Outstanding Company Preferred Stock.


Pursuant to the contingent rights set forth above, the Earn Out Shares shall be payable to Wilco Acquisition, LP (the sole holder of common stock of the Company as of the date of the Merger Agreement) or its designees, in the amounts set forth below if the price targets set forth below are achieved any time between the Closing and the 10 year anniversary of the Closing:

 

   

In the event the volume weighted average closing sale price of one share of Parent Class A Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (“VWAP”) is greater than $12.00 for at least 5 days out of a period of 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination, there shall be a one-time issuance of (A) the percentage allocation of the closing number of Parent Class A Stock issued to such holder multiplied by (B) 5,000,000 shares of Parent Class A Stock;

 

   

In the event the VWAP is greater than $14.00 for at least 5 days out of a period of 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination, there shall be a one-time issuance of (A) the percentage allocation of the closing number of Parent Class A Stock issued to such holder multiplied by (B) 5,000,000 shares of Parent Class A Stock; and

 

   

In the event the VWAP is greater than $16.00 for at least 5 days out of a period of 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination, there shall be a one-time issuance of (A) the percentage allocation of the closing number of Parent Class A Stock issued to such holder multiplied by (B) 5,000,000 shares of Parent Class A Stock.

In the event that there is an agreement with respect to the sale or other change of control of Parent entered into after the Closing and prior to the 10 year anniversary of the Closing, that will result in the holders of Parent Class A Stock receiving a per share price in excess of the applicable VWAP set forth above, then the applicable Earn Out Shares that have not been issued prior to the closing of such sale or change of control shall be issued by Parent on the day prior to such sale or change of control. Following such sale or change of control, Parent and the surviving corporation will take proper provision to ensure that any Earn Out Shares that have not previously been issued will remain eligible to be paid through the end of the 10 year anniversary of the Closing.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have made representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for a transaction of this nature. The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement terminate and are of no further force or effect as of the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Merger Agreement contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants providing for (a) the parties to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course through the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions, (b) Parent and the Company to cease discussions regarding alternative transactions, (c) Parent to prepare (and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) a proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) for the purposes of soliciting proxies from Parent’s stockholders to vote in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and certain other matters at a special meeting called therefor, (d) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties and (e) the parties providing required notice under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”).

Governance

In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent will amend and restate its Charter such that Parent will have a three-tier board that will initially consist of 8 directors. The board will be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of Parent following the Closing; the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of Parent following the Closing; and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the Closing.


Conditions to Consummation of the Business Combination

The consummation of the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions for special purpose acquisition companies, including, among others: (a) approval by Parent’s stockholders and the Company’s stockholders (which, with respect to the Company’s stockholders, was satisfied immediately following the execution of the Merger Agreement); (b) Parent having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after giving effect to Parent’s stockholder redemptions, if any; (c) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act; (d) the listing of the shares of Parent Class A Stock to be issued in connection with the Closing on the NYSE; and (e) Parent having at least $472,500,000 in available cash immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (after taking into account (i) payments required to satisfy Parent’s stockholder redemptions and (ii) the net proceeds from the Subscription Agreements (as described below)) the “Available Cash”).

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including (a) by mutual written consent of the parties, (b) by either Parent or the Company if (i) the consummation of the Business Combination has not occurred on or prior to August 23, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), (ii) a final and nonappealable order has been issued or governmental action permanently makes consummation of the transactions illegal or otherwise prevents or prohibits the Business Combination or (iii) Parent’s stockholder approval is not obtained at the special meeting of Parent’s stockholders, (c) by the Company (i) upon a breach by Parent or Merger Sub if such breach gives rise to a failure of a closing condition and has not been cured within 30 days’ notice by the Company or cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date, (ii) if the board of directors of Parent does not recommend in favor of the Business Combination in the Proxy Statement or makes any change in its recommendation or (iii) if the Available Cash is less than $472,500,000 and (d) by Parent (i) upon a breach by the Company if such breach gives rise to a failure of a closing condition and has not been cured within 30 days’ notice by Parent or cannot be cured by the Outside Date, or (ii) if approval by the Company’s stockholders is not obtained within one business day of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or, with respect to certain representations, in the event the Closing occurs, as of the date of the Closing, or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement and are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Parent does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Before making any voting or investment decisions, stockholders are encouraged to read the Proxy Statement and any other relevant documents carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed Business Combination.

The Subscription Agreements, Parent Sponsor Letter Agreement, Stockholders Agreement and Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

Subscription Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to purchase an aggregate amount of at least $300,000,000 in shares of Parent Class A Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, substantially concurrent with, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Business


Combination (the “PIPE”). In connection with the PIPE, certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”) have entered into Subscription Agreements pursuant to which Fortress has subscribed for 7,500,000 newly-issued shares of Parent Class A Stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

The Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Investors provide for certain registration rights. In particular, Parent is required to, within 15 business days following the Closing, file with the SEC (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) a shelf registration statement registering the resale of such shares, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies Parent that it will “review” the registration statement) following the Closing Date. Such registration statement is required to be kept effective for at least three years after the Closing or, if earlier, the date on which the shares may be sold without volume or manner of sale limitations under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to certain issuer suspension periods.

The Subscription Agreements will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of: (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to closing set forth in the Subscription Agreements are not satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver on or prior to the Closing Date and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing Date or (d) at each PIPE Investor’s election, on or after the Outside Date, if the Closing has not occurred by such date.

A copy of the form of Subscription Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Parent Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the holders of Parent Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (such holders the “Class F Holders,” and such common stock, the “Parent Class F Stock”) have entered into an amended and restated letter agreement (the “Parent Sponsor Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which the Class F Holders agreed to (a) vote all of their Parent Class F Stock in favor of the Business Combination and certain other matters, (b) vote all of their Parent Class F Stock against certain other actions, including any action expected to result in a breach of the Merger Agreement or any alternative business combination, (c) certain restrictions on their Parent Class F Stock, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, including to not redeem or tender any of their Parent Class F Stock in connection with any such vote or in connection with any vote to amend the Charter and (d) subject to, and conditioned upon the Closing, immediately prior to the Closing transfer and surrender 2,966,667 warrants to purchase Parent Class A Stock, and such warrants will be cancelled and no longer outstanding. The Class F Holders agree that, as of the consummation of the Business Combination, all of the Parent Class F Stock and shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Parent Class F Stock (the “Vesting Shares”) shall be unvested and shall be subject to certain vesting and forfeiture provisions, as follows: (i) 33.33 % of the Vesting Shares beneficially owned by Sponsor and each of the other parties thereto shall vest at such time as a $12.00 Common Share Price (as defined below) is achieved on or before the date that is 10 years after the Closing, (ii) 33.33% of the Vesting Shares beneficially owned by Sponsor and each of the parties thereto shall vest at such time as a $14.00 Common Share Price is achieved on or before the date that is 10 years after the Closing and (iii) 33.34% of the Vesting Shares beneficially owned by Class F Holders shall vest at such time as a $16.00 Common Share Price is achieved on or before the date that is ten years after the Closing. As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the applicable “Common Share Price” will be considered achieved only when the VWAP equals or exceeds the applicable threshold for at least 5 days out of a period of 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination.

A copy of the Parent Sponsor Letter Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Parent Sponsor Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.


Stockholders Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with each of the Company stockholders listed on Schedule A thereto (the “Advent Stockholders”). The Stockholders Agreement will become effective upon the effective time of the Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Advent Stockholders will have the right to designate nominees for election to Parent’s board of directors following the Closing at any meeting of the stockholders of Parent (each, an “Advent Director”). The number of nominees that the Advent Stockholders will be entitled to nominate pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is dependent on the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including any securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for (in each case, directly or indirectly), shares of Common Stock, including options and warrants) (the “Company Shares”) held by Advent Stockholders. For so long as the Advent Stockholders own (i) 50% or more of the Company Shares, the Advent Stockholders will be entitled to designate 5 Advent Directors, (ii) 38% (but less than 50%) of Company Shares, the Advent Stockholders will be entitled to designate 4 Advent Directors, (iii) 26% (but less than 38%) of Company Shares, the Advent Stockholders will be entitled to designate 3 Advent Directors, (iv) 13% (but less than 26%) of Company Shares, the Advent Stockholders will be entitled to designate 2 Advent Directors, (v) 5% (but less than 13%) of Company Shares, the Advent Stockholders will be entitled to designate 1 Advent Director and (vi) less than 5%, the Advent Stockholders will not be entitled to designate any Advent Directors.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, Parent and the Advent Stockholders agreed to nominate Andrew McKnight, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Parent, to Parent’s board of directors following the Closing as a Class I Director, with a term expiring at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of Parent following the Closing. Mr. McKnight also currently serves as a member of the board of managers and the Chairman of Parent’s sponsor, Fortress Acquisition Sponsor II LLC.

A copy of the Stockholders Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, but effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Parent entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Sponsor, existing holders of certain securities of Parent and new holders of certain securities of Parent (collectively, with each other person who has executed and delivered a joinder thereto, the “RRA Parties”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the RRA Parties will be entitled to registration rights in respect of certain shares of Parent Class A Stock and certain other equity securities of Parent that are held by the RRA Parties from time to time.

The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement provides that Parent will, as soon as practicable but no later than 15 business days following the Closing, file with the SEC (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) a shelf registration statement registering the resale of certain shares of Parent Class A Stock and certain other equity securities of Parent held by the RRA Parties and will use its reasonable best efforts to have such shelf registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the 60th calendar day following the actual filing date (or the 90th calendar day following the actual filing date if the SEC notifies Parent that it will “review” such registration statement) and (b) the 10th business day after the date Parent is notified orally or in writing by the SEC that such registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

Each of the RRA Parties and their respective permitted transferees will be entitled to certain demand registration rights in connection with an underwritten shelf takedown offering, in each case subject to certain offering thresholds, applicable lock-up restrictions, issuer suspension periods and certain other conditions. The majority-in-interest of the RRA Parties and their permitted transferees will also be entitled to certain demand registration rights when Parent does not have an effective shelf registration statement, which will be limited to three demand registrations, subject to applicable lock-up restrictions, issuer suspension periods and certain other conditions. In addition, the RRA Parties have certain “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks, issuer suspension periods and certain other conditions. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions. Parent will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements filed pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, including the fees of one legal counsel to the majority-in-interest of RRA Parties initiating a demand registration right.


A copy of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

 

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The shares of Parent Class A Stock to be issued in the PIPE and issued in the Merger will not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On February 21, 2021 and in connection with the Merger, Labeed Diab, who serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Joseph Jordan, who serves as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (collectively, the “Executives”), entered into employment agreements with the Company, effective as of the Closing (the “Employment Agreements”), which will replace and supersede their current agreements with ATI Holdings, LLC. Each Employment Agreement provides for an initial term of three years that automatically renews for one-year terms thereafter, unless notice of non-renewal is provided 30 days before the renewal date, and a minimum base salary of $750,000 per year for Mr. Diab and $450,000 per year for Mr. Jordan. In addition, the Employment Agreements provide for annual target bonuses equal to 125% of base salary for Mr. Diab and 75% of base salary for Mr. Jordan, and certain other benefits and perquisites, which are discussed in detail in the Employment Agreement.

The Employment Agreements provide that the Executives will be granted long-term incentive equity awards from the Company in each of 2021, 2022 and 2023. The aggregate grant-date value of such annual equity awards will be $1,750,000 for Mr. Diab and $500,000 for Mr. Jordan in respect of 2021 and 2022, and $3,000,000 for Mr. Diab or $750,000 for Mr. Jordan in respect of 2023. Fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate value of the equity awards in respect of 2021 and 2022 will be granted in the form of restricted stock units and the remaining fifty percent will be granted in the form of stock options; the forms of equity awards in respect of subsequent years will be determined by the Company’s compensation committee after consultation with a compensation consultant. The equity award in respect of fiscal year 2021 will vest in three equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant, and vesting of equity awards in respect of subsequent years will be determined by the Company’s compensation committee after consultation with a compensation consultant. With respect to years following 2023, the Executives will be eligible to receive equity awards on terms and conditions determined by the Company’s compensation committee after consultation with a compensation consultant.

In the event of a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by an Executive for good reason prior to the end of the term of the respective Employment Agreement and at any time other than within 24 months for Mr. Diab or 18 months for Mr. Jordan following a change in control, each Executive will receive (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times for Mr. Diab or 1.25 times for Mr. Jordan the sum of annual base salary and target bonus amount, payable in 18 monthly installments for Mr. Diab or 15 monthly installments for Mr. Jordan; (ii) a pro-rated annual bonus based on actual performance for the year in which termination occurs; (iii) reimbursement of COBRA costs for a coverage period of 18 months for Mr. Diab or 12 months for Mr. Jordan, and (iv) immediate vesting of any then-unvested equity awards granted under the Wilco Acquisition, LP 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. If the Company terminates an Executive without cause or an Executive terminates his employment for good reason within 24 months for Mr. Diab or 18 months for Mr. Jordan following a change in control, each Executive will instead receive (i) an amount equal to 2.0 times for Mr. Diab or 1.5 times for Mr. Jordan the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus amount, payable in a lump sum; (ii) a pro-rated annual bonus based on actual performance for the year in which termination occurs; (iii) reimbursement of COBRA costs for a coverage period of 18 months for Mr. Diab or 12 months for Mr. Jordan, and (iv) immediate vesting of any then-unvested equity awards granted under the Wilco Acquisition, LP 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Any such severance payments will be subject to applicable taxes and the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenant provisions.

The Employment Agreements also contain a covenant not to compete, generally prohibiting each Executive from providing services to a competitor or soliciting employees or business contacts for 18 months for Mr. Diab or 15 months for Mr. Jordan following termination of employment, or for 24 months for Mr. Diab or 18 months for Mr. Jordan if the Executive receives enhanced severance upon a qualifying termination within 24 months for Mr. Diab or 18 months for Mr. Jordan following a change in control. In addition, the Employment Agreement mandates that the Executives’ confidentiality obligations continue after his termination of employment.

The foregoing description is not a complete description of the Employment Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 for Mr. Diab and Mr. Jordan, respectively, which are incorporated by reference in this Item 5.02.

Pursuant to the terms of the Parent Sponsor Letter Agreement, Joshua A. Pack, Marc Furstein, Leslee Cowen, Aaron F. Hood, Carmen A. Policy, Rakefet Russak-Aminoach and Sunil Gulati submitted their resignation from their position as a member of the board of directors of Parent and of any committee thereof, conditioned upon and effective as of the effective time of the Merger (or such other time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Parent).

the proposed Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of the Company’s and Parent’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company and Parent. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of Parent is not obtained; (iii) the ability to maintain the listing of the combined company’s securities on NYSE; (iv) the inability to complete the PIPE; (v) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Parent or the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transaction described herein; (vi) the risk that any of the conditions to closing are not satisfied in the anticipated manner or on the anticipated timeline; (vii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination; (viii) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Company and costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (ix) risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business strategy and the timing of expected business milestones; (x) the effects of competition on the Company’s future business and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (xi) risks related to political and macroeconomic uncertainty; (xii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Parent, the Company or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the potential transaction; (xiii) the amount of redemption requests made by Parent’s public stockholders; (xiv) the ability of Parent’s or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the proposed Business Combination or in the future; (xv) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on any of the foregoing risks; and (xvi) those factors discussed in Parent’s final prospectus dated August 11, 2020 and any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Parent’s filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Parent nor the Company presently know or that Parent and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Parent’s and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Parent and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Parent’s and the Company’s assessments to change. However, while Parent and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Parent and the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Parent’s and the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Section 1.4 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all requisite actions so that, at the Effective Time, until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable requirements of Law: (i) the directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Company; and (ii) the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.5 Effect of the Merger on the Company Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the Company Stockholders or the holders of any of the securities of Acquiror or any other Person, the following shall occur:

(a) any shares of Company Stock held in the Company’s treasury or held, directly or indirectly, by Acquiror, Merger Sub or any direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an “Excluded Share”) shall be cancelled and retired, and no consideration shall be paid or payable in respect thereof;

(b) except for Dissenting Shares, if applicable, and subject to Section 1.6 and Section 1.9, (i) each share of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Preferred Consideration and (ii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into (A) the right to receive the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and (B) the contingent right to receive the Earn Out Shares following the Closing in accordance with, and subject to the vesting conditions provided for in, ARTICLE III (together with the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Consideration, the “Per Share Consideration”); and

(c) each share of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.6 Fractional Shares.

(a) No fractional shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Transactions, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued.

(b) Any holder of shares of Company Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Acquiror Class A Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock issuable to such holder) pursuant to Section 1.5 shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon compliance with Section 1.8, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, equal to the product of (i) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Acquiror Class A Common Stock to which such holder otherwise would have been entitled but for this Section 1.6 multiplied by (ii) $10.00.

Section 1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Stock with respect to which appraisal rights are available under Section 262 of the DGCL, if any (it being understood that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to imply, admit or establish the availability of any such appraisal rights in connection with the Transactions), and which are held by a holder who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and, as of the Closing: (i) has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Company Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; and (ii) has

otherwise complied with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder withdraws, fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the applicable Per Share Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, but shall be entitled only to such rights (if any) as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a), if any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect, waiver, withdrawal or otherwise), then such shares shall be deemed automatically, as of the Effective Time, to have been converted into, and to represent only, the right to receive the applicable Per Share Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5(b), without interest thereon, upon proper delivery of the Company Stock Certificates in the manner provided in this ARTICLE I.

(c) The Company shall give Acquiror (i) prompt written notice of (A) any demand for appraisal received from its stockholders prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, (B) any withdrawal of such demand pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and (C) any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company relating to appraisal demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal pursuant to the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 1.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the dissemination of the Proxy Statement, Acquiror and the Company shall mutually agree upon a transfer agent or another bank or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) and Acquiror shall enter into an agreement reasonably acceptable to Acquiror and the Company with the Exchange Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Exchange Agent. Substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Acquiror shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent: (i) a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock (whether represented in certificated or non-certificated direct registration form) to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5; (ii) cash in immediately available funds sufficient to make payments of the Aggregate Preferred Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5 and (iii) cash in immediately available funds sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6 and, if applicable, any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c). The shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 1.8(a), together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall be held in trust by the Exchange Agent and shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay the Per Share Consideration to holders of Company Stock in accordance with Section 1.5(b), cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c).

(b) Concurrently with the mailing of the Proxy Statement, Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person who is a holder of record of Company Stock Certificates: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form to be approved by the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”), and including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent (and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for the applicable Per Share Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5; cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c). Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Per Share Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c)); and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until surrendered or cancelled as contemplated by this Section 1.8(b), each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the applicable Per Share Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c)). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable Per Share Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c)) may be issued to or paid to, as applicable, a Person other than the Person in whose name the Company Stock Certificates so surrendered are registered, if such Company Stock Certificates so surrendered are registered, shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form and with proper evidence for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer, stamp or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of or payment of the applicable Per Share Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Stock Certificates, or establish to the satisfaction of Acquiror that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Acquiror may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition to the issuance of or payment of the applicable Per Share Consideration require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Acquiror may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Acquiror or the Surviving Company with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Acquiror Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid or otherwise delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until the later to occur of: (i) the date on which the holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.8 and (ii) the payment date for such dividend or distribution with respect to Acquiror Class A Common Stock (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

 

6


(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the date that is six months after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Acquiror upon written demand. Any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to Acquiror for, and be entitled to the applicable Per Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5 (and cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c)).

(e) Neither Acquiror nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Stock or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or other similar requirements of Law.

Section 1.9 Adjustments to Per Share Consideration. If, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Per Share Consideration shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.9 shall be construed as permitting Acquiror to take any action or enter into any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

Section 1.10 Closing of Transfer Books.

(a) All shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of Company Stock Certificate(s) shall cease to have any rights as Company Stockholders, except the right to receive the applicable Per Share Consideration contemplated by Section 1.5, cash in lieu of any fractional share of Acquiror Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(c).

(b) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and no further transfer of any such shares of Company Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Company Stock Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Company or Acquiror, such Company Stock Certificate shall be cancelled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.8.

Section 1.11 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Acquiror and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law; provided, that the Exchange Agent, Acquiror and the Surviving Company, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with a written notice of such Person’s intention to withhold at least five Business Days prior to any such withholding and shall reasonably cooperate with the applicable payee to minimize any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent, Acquiror or the Surviving Company, as the case may be.

Section 1.12 Corporate Governance Matters. At the Effective Time, the Acquiror Board shall be a classified board initially comprised of eight members. Unless otherwise agreed to by Acquiror and the Company prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall cause the Acquiror Board, the committees of the Acquiror Board and the officers of Acquiror at the Effective Time to be comprised of the individuals set forth on Schedule 1.12 in accordance with the procedures contemplated thereon, in each case to hold office from and after the Effective Time until the earliest to occur of the appointment or election of his or her respective successor, resignation or proper removal in accordance with applicable requirements of Law. The Acquiror Board shall comply with Stock Exchange requirements applicable to “controlled companies,” including with respect to independence and committee composition, and will not be required to comply with certain Stock Exchange governance requirements from which “controlled companies” are exempt.

With respect to each PIPE Investor, the Subscription Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been

 

36


withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Acquiror. Each Subscription Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Acquiror and, to Acquiror’s knowledge, each PIPE Investor, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions. There are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Acquiror and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Acquiror the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and Acquiror is not aware of any facts or circumstances that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to Acquiror on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Acquiror under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and Acquiror has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Ancillary Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Acquiror the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

(c) Acquiror does not have, or have any present intention, agreement, arrangement or understanding to enter into or incur any obligations with respect to or under any Indebtedness (other than, to the extent applicable, the Debt Financing).

Section 5.10 No Brokers Fees. No broker, finder, investment banker or other Person acting on behalf of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by Acquiror, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, including the Sponsor.

Section 5.11 Business Activities.

(a) Since its incorporation, Acquiror has not conducted any business activities other than activities directed toward completing a Business Combination. Except as set forth in the Acquiror Organizational Documents, there is no agreement, commitment, or Governmental Order binding upon Acquiror or to which Acquiror is a party that has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or impairing any business practice of Acquiror.

(b) Except for Merger Sub, Acquiror does not own, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other Person. Except for this Agreement and the Transactions, Acquiror has no interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, and is not party to, bound by or has its assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or could reasonably be interpreted as constituting, a Business Combination.

(c) Merger Sub does not own or have a right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other entity.

 

37


(d) Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the Merger and has not engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with the Merger and has no, and at all times prior to the Effective Time except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, will have no, assets, liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever other than those incident to its formation.

Section 5.12 Material Contracts. The SEC Reports include true, correct and complete copies of each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Regulation S-K of the SEC) to which Acquiror is party (the “Acquiror Material Contracts”). Each Acquiror Material Contract is in full force and effect and, to the Knowledge of Acquiror, is valid and binding upon and enforceable against each of the parties thereto, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions. True, correct and complete copies of all Acquiror Material Contracts have been delivered to the Company.

Section 5.13 Employees; Acquiror Benefit Plans. Other than as described in the SEC Reports, Acquiror has never had any employees. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Acquiror’s officers and directors in connection with activities on Acquiror’s behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash held by Acquiror outside of the Trust Account, there is no Acquiror Benefit Plan and Acquiror has no unsatisfied material liability with respect to any employee. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements nor the consummation of the Transactions alone or with any other event will (a) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any current or former director, officer, employee or other individual service provider of Acquiror, or (b) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

Section 5.14 No Acquiror Material Adverse Effect. Since August 14, 2020, there has not been any change, effect, condition, circumstance or development relating to Acquiror or its Subsidiaries that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in an Acquiror Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.15 Undisclosed Liabilities/Transaction Expenses.

(a) Except for the Transaction Expenses of Acquiror, there is no liability, debt or obligation of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) of Acquiror that would be required to be set forth or reserved for on a balance sheet of Acquiror (and the notes thereto) prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with past practice, except for liabilities and obligations reflected or reserved for on the Acquiror Financial Statements or disclosed in the notes thereto (if any) (other than any such liabilities not reflected, reserved or disclosed as are not and would not be, in the aggregate, material to Acquiror), or that have arisen since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Acquiror Financial Statements in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and which are not material.

(b) Set forth on Schedule 5.15(b) is a good faith estimate of the expected Transaction Expenses of Acquiror and to whom such Transaction Expenses are to be paid.

The Sponsor Letter Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Acquiror. The Sponsor Letter Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Acquiror and, to the Knowledge of Acquiror, each other party thereto, and neither the execution nor delivery by any party thereto, nor the performance of any party’s obligations under, the Sponsor Letter Agreement violates any provision of, or results in the breach of or default under, or require any filing, registration or qualification under, any applicable Law. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Acquiror under any material term or condition of the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

In connection therewith, the Acquiror Board shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting within 30 days after the definitive Proxy Statement is mailed to stockholders of Acquiror; provided, however, that (A) Acquiror may postpone, and if requested by the Company in writing, shall postpone, the Special Meeting in compliance with applicable requirements under Delaware Law if (1) there are holders of an insufficient number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Acquiror Class F Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum at such meeting (in which case Acquiror shall, and shall cause its proxy solicitor to use reasonable best efforts to, solicit as promptly as practicable the presence, in person or by proxy of a quorum), but only until there are a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock and Acquiror Class F Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to obtain such a quorum or (2) on a date for which the Special Meeting is scheduled, Acquiror has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock and Acquiror Class F Common Stock to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders for the purposes of obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, but only until there are a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock and Acquiror Class F Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that (A) with respect to postponement in the case of clauses “(1)” and “(2),” Acquiror shall not change the record date for the Special Meeting without the Company’s prior written consent and (B) Acquiror may postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting with the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Acquiror postpones or adjourns the Special Meeting pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to reconvene and hold a Special Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable.

46


Acquiror Board Recommendation”), and include such Acquiror Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Acquiror covenants that none of the Acquiror Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose publicly or by formal action of the Acquiror Board to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the Company, the Acquiror Board Recommendation or any other recommendation by the Acquiror Board of the Transaction Proposals (any such action a “Change in Recommendation”) except in accordance with Section 6.4(c).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, the Acquiror Board determines in good faith, in response to an Intervening Event, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the Acquiror Board of its fiduciary obligations to Acquiror’s stockholders under applicable Law, the Acquiror Board may, prior to obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, make a Change in Recommendation; provided, however, that Acquiror Board will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Change in Recommendation unless (i) Acquiror delivers to the Company a written notice (an “Intervening Event Notice”) advising the Company that the Acquiror Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Acquiror Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred (it being acknowledged that such Intervening Event Notice shall not itself constitute a breach of this Agreement), and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth Business Day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to an Intervening Event shall require a new notice but with an additional four Business Day (instead of a five Business Day) period from the date of such notice), the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), the Acquiror Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by the Company, Acquiror will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for a Change in Recommendation.

(b) The Company agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries do not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Closing have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Acquiror, on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to in this Section 6.12(b) as the “Trust Account Claims”). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or Trust Account Claim it may have, now or in the future in or to the Trust Account and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Acquiror, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Company from (i) pursuing a claim against Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or (ii) pursuing any claims that the Company may have against Acquiror’s assets or funds that are

 

53


not held in the Trust Account.

(b) The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and not to take, or fail to take, any action before or after the Closing to the extent that such action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.13 shall require any of the Parties to effect more redemptions of Acquiror stock or raise more money in respect of the PIPE Investment than is otherwise required by this Agreement, alter the terms of any shares of the Acquiror (including the Acquiror Class F Common Stock) or the rights of any shareholder thereof, or agree to any revisions or amendments to, or to waive any provisions of, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 4.15(j), Section 5.20(b) and this Section 6.13, qualification for the Intended Tax Treatment shall not require qualification under both Section 368(a) of the Code and Section 351(a) of the Code, but shall be satisfied by either of such Code sections.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Acquiror Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Transactions (including the Earn Out Shares, in the event such Earn Out Shares become issuable pursuant to ARTICLE III) to be approved for listing on the Stock Exchange as promptly as practicable following the issuance thereof, subject to official notice of issuance.

Section 9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 9.10 Exclusive Jurisdiction. In any Action between any of the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, each of the Parties: (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action or proceeding, in any state court of Delaware (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware); (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court; and (c) agrees that it will not bring any such Action in any court other than such courts. Service of any process, summons, notice or document to any party’s address and in the manner set forth in Section 9.4 shall be effective service of process for any such action. Each of the Parties agrees that the mailing of process or other papers in connection with any Action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.4 or such other manner as may be permitted by requirement of Law shall be valid and sufficient service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.10, a Party may commence any Action or proceeding in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts. Each party hereto further waives any claim and will not assert that venue should properly lie in any other location within the selected jurisdiction.

Section 9.11 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES (AND SHALL CAUSE ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES TO WAIVE) THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE OTHER PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 9.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon

 

65


determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.13 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants; provided, however, that if the Closing shall occur, Acquiror shall (a) pay or cause to be paid, the Transaction Expenses in accordance with Section 2.3(b). For the avoidance of doubt, any payments to be made (or to cause to be made) by Acquiror pursuant to this Section 9.13 shall be paid upon consummation of the Merger and release of proceeds from the Trust Account.

Section 9.14 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, each without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.14 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

Section 9.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), and any remedies in respect thereof, may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a named Party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or Representative of any named Party to this Agreement and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney, advisor or Representative of any of the foregoing (collectively, as to both clause “(a)” and “(b),” “Non-Party Affiliates”) shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity

 

66


or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of Acquiror or the Company under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement by any Non-Party Affiliate, as to which the Parties disclaim any reliance).

The Company, on behalf of itself and the Skadden

 

67


Waiving Parties, hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest, breach of duty or any other objection arising from or relating to Skadden’s prior representation of the Sponsor, Acquiror and its Subsidiaries, or other Skadden Waiving Parties.

2.1.15 Without limitation of the foregoing, the Subscriber hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Placement Agent is acting solely as placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and is not acting as an underwriter, initial purchaser, dealer or in any other such capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for the Subscriber, the Company or any other person or entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Placement Agent has not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and have not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) the Placement Agent will have no responsibility with respect to (A) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or (B) the financial condition, business, or any other matter concerning the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Subscriber will not look to the Placement Agents for all or part of any such loss or losses the Subscriber may suffer and is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Shares. The Subscriber (for itself and for each account for which the Subscriber is acquiring the Shares) acknowledges that such Subscriber is aware that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. are acting as the Company’s Placement Agents in connection with this Subscription Agreement and are also acting as financial advisors to the Target in connection with the Transaction.

2.1.16 Subscriber has no binding arrangement in place to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares.

2.2 Company’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce Subscriber to purchase the Shares, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Subscriber and the Placement Agents and agrees with Subscriber and the Placement Agents as follows:

2.2.1 The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

2.2.2 The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment for the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and the Shares will not have been authorized in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or under the DGCL.

2.2.3 This Subscription Agreement, the Other Subscription Agreements and the Transaction Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

2.2.4 The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including compliance by the Company with all of the provisions hereof), the issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the certain other transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (i) a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, or on the validity of the Shares or the ability or legal authority of the Company to timely comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.2.5 The issued and outstanding Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending against the Company by the NYSE or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Common Stock or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Common Stock on the NYSE. The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act.

 

6


2.2.6 As of the date hereof and as of immediately prior to the Closing, the authorized capital stock of the Company is 221,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 200,000,000 Class A Common Stock, (b) 20,000,000 shares of Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (c) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date hereof: (i) no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding; (ii) 34,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are issued and outstanding; (iii) 8,625,000 shares of Class F common stock are issued and outstanding; (iv) 5,933,333 private placement warrants to purchase 5,933,333 shares of Class A Common Stock are outstanding and (v) 6,900,000 public warrants to purchase 6,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are outstanding. All (A) issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class F common stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and are non-assessable and are not subject to preemptive rights and (B) outstanding private placement warrants and public warrants have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and are not subject to preemptive rights. Except as set forth above and pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements, that certain letter agreement, dated the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the other parties named therein (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”), and the Transaction Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from the Company any shares of Class A Common Stock or other equity interests in the Company, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity interests.

2.2.7 The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

2.2.8 Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including the New York Stock Exchange (the “Stock Exchange”)) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares), other than (i) filings required by applicable federal or state securities laws, (ii) the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4 below, (iii) the filing of a Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities on Form D with the SEC under Regulation D of the Securities Act, if applicable, (iv) those required by the Stock Exchange, including with respect to obtaining stockholder approval, (v) those required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Transaction Agreement, and (vi) the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.2.9 The Company has made available to Subscriber (including via the SEC EDGAR system) a true, correct and complete copy of each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement (the “SEC Documents”), which SEC Documents, as of their respective filing dates, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited

 

7


statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. The Company has timely filed each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that the Company was required to file with the SEC since its initial registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act. As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Documents.

2.2.10 Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to Subscriber in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

2.2.11 Neither the Company, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act.

2.2.12 The Company has provided Subscriber an opportunity to ask questions regarding the Company and made available to Subscriber all the information reasonably available to the Company that Subscriber has requested for deciding whether to acquire the Shares.

2.2.13 Except for the Placement Agents, no broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with the sale of the Shares to Subscriber.

2.2.14 Upon consummation of the Transaction, the issued and outstanding Common Stock will continue to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and will be listed for trading on the Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

2.2.15 No Other Subscription Agreement includes terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to any such Other Subscriber than Subscriber hereunder, in each case, other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such subscriber or its affiliates or related funds. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement and reflect the same purchase price per share and terms that are not materially more advantageous to any such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such subscriber or its affiliates or related funds.

3. Settlement Date and Delivery.

3.1 Closing. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”). Upon not less than three (3) business days’ written notice from (or on behalf of) the Company to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied on a date that is not less than three (3) business days from the date of

 

8


the Closing Notice, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company at least two (2) business days’ prior to the Closing Date or such other date prior to the Closing Date as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Subscriber, to be held in escrow until the Closing, the Purchase Price for the Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice against delivery by the Company to Subscriber of the Shares in book-entry form on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber (i) at the Closing, the Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), and (ii) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Shares on and as of the Closing Date. In the event the Closing does not occur on the Closing Date, the Company shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Subscriber. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the parties to the Transaction Agreement agree to postpone the Closing Date, the Company shall have the right to change the Closing Date from the date specified in the Closing Notice to such Closing Date after giving effect to such postponement.

3.2 Conditions to Closing of Both Parties. The Closing shall be subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

3.2.1 No suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction in the United States, or suspension of listing, or qualification of the Shares for listing, on the NYSE, or initiation or threatening in writing of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred and be continuing.

3.2.2 No governmental authority in the United States shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.2.3 All conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction set forth in the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in the sole determination of the parties to the Transaction Agreement (other than those conditions that, by their nature, may only be satisfied at the consummation of the Transaction, but subject to satisfaction of such conditions as of the consummation of the Transaction), and the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur on the Closing Date substantially concurrently with or immediately following the Closing.

3.3 Conditions to Closing of the Company. The obligations of the Company to consummate the Subscription shall be subject to the following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived in writing by the Company:

3.3.1 All representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by Subscriber of each of its representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date.

 

9


3.3.2 Subscriber shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all conditions, agreements and covenants required by this Subscription Agreement.

3.4 Conditions to Closing of Subscriber. The obligations of Subscriber to consummate the Subscription shall be subject to the following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived in writing by Subscriber:

3.4.1 All representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

3.4.2 The Company shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all conditions, agreements and covenants required by this Subscription Agreement.

3.4.3 The terms of the Transaction Agreement shall not have been amended in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits Subscriber is to receive under this Subscription Agreement unless Subscriber has consented in writing to such amendment.

4. Registration Rights.

4.1 The Company and Subscriber agree that, within fifteen (15) business days after the consummation of the Transaction, the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Shares and those other Shares of the Company held by Subscriber in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided, however, that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (Rule 144”), (ii) the date on which such Shares have actually been sold and (iii) the date which is three years after the Closing. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review (but not comment) at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with Subscriber’s review. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC or another regulatory

 

10


agency; provided, that if the SEC requests that a Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. For as long as the Subscriber holds Shares, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Subscriber).

4.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will promptly discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall

 

11


not contain material non-public information and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality). If so directed by the Company, each Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in such Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in such Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent such Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

4.3 Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Subscription Agreement) (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by Section 4.2; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective registration statement, Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 4.3) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such notice of Suspension Event that would have been provided, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability, and Subscriber shall comply with any restrictions on using such Registration Statement during such Suspension Event.

4.4 In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

4.4.1 advise Subscriber within five (5) business days:

(a) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(b) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(c) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

12


(e) of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the Registration Statement does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or does not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or does not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (a) through (e) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

4.4.2 use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

4.4.3 upon the occurrence of any event contemplated pursuant to Section 4.4.1(e) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

4.4.4 use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company have been listed; and

4.4.5 use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated hereby.

4.5 The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in

 

13


light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use therein or such Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 4 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement, (B) in connection with any failure of the Subscriber to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner (unless exempted therefrom), (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Subscriber in violation of Section 4.2 hereof. The Company shall notify the Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by such Subscriber.

4.6 The Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 4 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which the Subscriber is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by the Subscriber.

 

14


4.7 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.8 If the indemnification provided under this Section 4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.6 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

15

6.3 Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1.1, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and Wilco Holdco, Inc.

6.4 Modifications and Amendments. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated (other than as set forth in Section 5) except by an instrument in writing, signed by both ATI and the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification or termination is sought; provided that Section 2, Section 6.1.1, Section 6.1.2 and this Section 6.4 of this Subscription Agreement may not be modified or terminated in a manner that is material and adverse to the Placement Agents without the prior written consent of the Placement Agents.

 

18


6.5 Waivers and Consents. The terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Subscription Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

6.6 Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 4) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, Subscriber may transfer its rights and obligations hereunder to, without the prior written consent of the Company, an affiliate or to another investment fund or account managed or advised by the same manager as Subscriber (or a related party or affiliate), provided, that no such transfer shall release Subscriber of its obligations hereunder without prior written consent of the Company. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned by the Company (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may transfer the Subscription Agreement and its rights hereunder in connection with the consummation of the Transaction).

6.7 Benefit. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

6.8 Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

6.9 Consent to Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided, that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware “Chosen Courts”), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement and each other document executed in connection with the Transaction, and the consummation thereof, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of

 

19


process. Each party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that (i) such person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (ii) such legal proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts, (iii) such person’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such legal proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or (v) the venue of such legal proceeding is improper. Each party hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before the Chosen Courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than the Chosen Courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 6.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.9, a party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS, AND THE CONSUMMATION THEREOF, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION, AND THE CONSUMMATION THEREOF. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

6.10 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties (for the avoidance of doubt, including ATI) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect

 

20


6.12 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

6.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Subscription Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations made by or on behalf of the parties.

6.14 No Broker or Finder: Expenses. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other that no broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on its behalf in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on the other. Each of the parties hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.15 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

6.16 Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com or other transmission method), such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

6.17 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

21


6.18 Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of Subscriber and the Company and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

6.19 Limited Recourse. Except as expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement or as otherwise required by law, no former, current or future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, representatives or assignees of Subscriber or any former, current or future equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partner, representative or assignee of any of the foregoing, shall have any obligation to the Company or to any other person hereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

7. Disclosure. The Company shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that the Company has provided to Subscriber at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the filing of a form of this Subscription Agreement as an exhibit thereto, and except as otherwise agreed between the Subscriber and the Company and/or the Target). From and after the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the Company’s knowledge, Subscriber shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees (except as otherwise agreed between Subscriber and the Company and/or the Target). Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates in any press release or in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, except (i) as required by the federal securities law in connection with the Registration Statement, (ii) in a Current Report on Form 8-K (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the filing of a form of this Subscription Agreement as an exhibit thereto), a press release or other marketing materials of the Company in connection with the Transaction to the extent any such disclosure is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 7 if agreeable by Subscriber and in a manner acceptable to Subscriber, and (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the Staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the NYSE or by any other governmental authority, in which case the Company shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (iii).

8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets.

 

22


Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated August 11, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Company’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Company, its public shareholders and the underwriters of Company’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Company to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Shares, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any redemption rights with respect to the Shares pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation in connection with the Transaction or any other business combination, any subsequent liquidation of the Trust Account or the Company or otherwise. In the event Subscriber has any claim against the Company as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Shares, it shall pursue such claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account. This paragraph shall survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit any of Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including, but not limited to, any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company.

9. Stock Splits, etc. If any change in the Common Stock shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the number and type of Shares issued to the Subscriber and the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”), FVAC Merger Corp.

capitalization of Acquiror or any amendment of Acquiror’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated as of August 11, 2020 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), except to the extent expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the schedules thereto), (B) any liquidation, dissolution or other change in Acquiror’s corporate structure or business, (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor or such Insider under this Letter Agreement, and (D) any other action or proposal involving Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions; and

(c) not redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any of the Covered Shares owned by it, him or her for redemption in connection with such approval of the Transaction Proposals or the Transactions, or in connection with any vote to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.

2. (a) In the event that Acquiror fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by Acquiror’s stockholders in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause Acquiror to:

(i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up,

(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Acquiror to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and

(iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Acquiror’s remaining stockholders and Acquiror’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Acquiror’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of other applicable law.

(b) The Sponsor and each Insider shall not propose any amendment (i) to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of Acquiror’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with Acquiror’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if Acquiror does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (ii) with respect to any other provision of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or activity prior to, and not in connection with, an initial Business Combination, unless Acquiror provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Acquiror to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

(c) The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of Acquiror as a result of any liquidation of Acquiror with respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or her. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by Acquiror to purchase shares of Common Stock (although the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares they hold if Acquiror fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering). The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of Acquiror’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with Acquiror’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if Acquiror does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or activity prior to, and not in connection with, an initial Business Combination.

3. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on the effective date hereof and ending on the earlier of (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement and (b) the Closing, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of Acquiror and the Company, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units, shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Public Warrants (together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”) or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Public Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement, specified in clause “(i)” or “(ii).” The provisions of this paragraph will not apply (x) to

 

3


the transfer of Founder Shares to any independent director appointed or elected to Acquiror’s board of directors after the Public Offering or (y) if a release or waiver of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3 is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and, in each case the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer. In addition, the provisions of this paragraph will not in any way limit the ability of the Sponsor to enter into agreements with employees of the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or employees of Fortress Investment Group LLC or any of its affiliates relating to the transfer of direct or indirect interests in the Founder Shares to such persons; provided that such transfer is not effected until the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period (as defined below), or admitting such persons as members of the Sponsor, as long as, to the extent any reporting obligation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act is triggered as a result of such agreements, any related filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act includes a practical explanation as to the nature of such agreement.

4. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other stockholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Acquiror against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which Acquiror may become subject as a result of any claim by (a) any third party for services rendered (other than Acquiror’s independent public accountants) or products sold to Acquiror or (b) a prospective target business with which Acquiror has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of Acquiror by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than Acquiror’s independent public accountants) or products sold to Acquiror or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Offering Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay its taxes, except as to any claims by a third party (including a Target) who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Acquiror’s indemnity of the Public Offering underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies Acquiror in writing that it shall undertake such defense. For the avoidance of doubt, none of Acquiror’s officers or directors will indemnify Acquiror for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

5. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that:

(a) the Public Offering underwriters would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 7(a), 7(b) and 9, as applicable, of this Letter Agreement;

(b) the Company and Acquiror would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 13, as applicable, of this Letter Agreement;

(c) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach;

(d) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach; and

(e) all of the obligations of the Sponsor and Insiders are for the benefit of, and enforceable solely by, Acquiror and the Company.

6. The Sponsor hereby agrees that, subject to, and conditioned upon, the Closing, and effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Sponsor shall automatically be deemed to irrevocably transfer and surrender to Acquiror for no consideration 2,966,667 Private Placement Warrants, and that from such time such Private Placement Warrants shall be deemed to be cancelled and no longer outstanding. Each of the Sponsor and Acquiror shall take all reasonably necessary actions required to reflect the surrender and forfeiture of such Private Placement Warrants as of immediately prior to the Closing in the books and records of Acquiror’s transfer agent and warrant agent.

7. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraph 3, in the event:

(i) the Closing does not occur for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of the valid termination of the Merger Agreement), Sponsor and each Insider shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earliest to occur of (x) one year after the completion of Acquiror’s initial Business Combination; (y) subsequent to the Business Combination, if the last reported sale price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after Acquiror’s initial Business Combination; and (z) the date following the completion of Acquiror’s initial Business Combination on which Acquiror completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Acquiror’s Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property; and

(ii) the Closing does occur, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earliest to occur of: (x) 180 days after the Closing; and (y) the date following the Closing on which Acquiror completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Acquiror’s Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (such period in clause “(i)” or “(ii)” of this paragraph 7(a), the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).

 

5


(b) The Sponsor and each Insider shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the completion of Acquiror’s initial Business Combination (the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 3, 7(a) and 7(b), but subject to the provisions of paragraph 7(d), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Capital Stock issued or issuable upon the exchange, exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and that are held by the Sponsor, Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted: (i) to Acquiror’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of Acquiror’s officers or directors, any members of the Sponsor, any affiliates of the Sponsor, which, for the avoidance of doubt, will include funds, or affiliates of funds, managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC, or any members or employees of the Sponsor’s affiliates; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (vi) transfers in the event of Acquiror’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (vii) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; and (viii) in the event of Acquiror’s liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of Acquiror’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of Acquiror’s initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v), any such permitted transferee must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein.

(d) Vesting Provisions for Founder Shares. As of the Closing, all of the Founder Shares and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Founder Shares (the “Vesting Shares”) shall be unvested and shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in this paragraph 7(d). The Sponsor and each of the Insiders shall not (and will cause its respective affiliates not to) directly Transfer any unvested Founder Shares or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the unvested Founder Shares prior to the later of (x) the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period and (y) the date such Founder Shares, shares of Common Stock or Private Placement

 

6


Warrants become vested pursuant to this paragraph 7(d); provided that clause “(x)” above shall not restrict any Transfers by the Sponsor prior to the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period to the persons described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of paragraph 7(c) so long as such persons have entered into a written agreement to be bound by the restrictions herein.

(i) Vesting of Shares.

(1) 33.33% of the Vesting Shares beneficially owned by Sponsor and each of the Insiders shall vest at such time as a $12.00 Common Share Price is achieved on or before the date that is ten years after the Closing Date (the period from the consummation of Acquiror’s initial Business Combination through such date, the “Vesting Period”).

(2) 33.33% of the Vesting Shares beneficially owned by Sponsor and each of the Insiders shall vest at such time as a $14.00 Common Share Price is achieved during the Vesting Period.

(3) 33.34% of the Vesting Shares beneficially owned by Sponsor and each of the Insiders shall vest at such time as a $16.00 Common Share Price is achieved during the Vesting Period.

(4) Holders of Vesting Shares subject to the vesting provisions of this paragraph 7(c) shall be entitled to vote such Vesting Shares and receive dividends and other distributions with respect to such Vesting Shares prior to vesting; provided, that dividends and other distributions with respect to Vesting Shares that are subject to performance vesting pursuant to paragraph 7(c)(i) shall be set aside by Acquiror and shall be paid to such holders upon the vesting of such Vesting Shares (if at all).

(ii) Acceleration of Vesting upon a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the Vesting Period there is an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Merger Agreement) , then immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable Change of Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement), all Vesting Shares that were eligible to vest pursuant to paragraph 7(d)(i) and remain unvested, if any, shall vest on the day immediately preceding the closing of such Change of Control. To the extent the consideration paid for each share of Common Stock in such Change of Control includes contingent consideration or property other than cash, Acquiror’s board of directors shall determine, in good faith, the value of the purchase consideration paid for each share of Common Stock in such Acquiror Sale and any equitable adjustment required in respect of any unvested Vesting Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, following a transaction or business combination that is not a “Change of Control,” including a transaction or business combination in which the equity securities of the surviving entity of such business combination or other transaction are registered under the Exchange Act and listed or quoted for trading on a national securities exchange, the equitable adjustment provisions of paragraph 17 shall apply, including, without limitation, to the performance vesting criteria set forth in paragraph 7(d)(i).

 

7


(iii) Forfeiture of Unvested Founder Shares. Vesting Shares that remain unvested on the first Business Day after the Vesting Period shall be forfeited immediately and shall be surrendered by Sponsor or the applicable Insider to Acquiror, without any consideration for such Transfer.

(iv) Waiver of Conversion Ratio Adjustment. (A) Section 4.3(b)(i) of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that each Founder Share shall automatically convert into one share of Common Stock (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”) at the time of the Business Combination, and (B) Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Initial Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted (the “Adjustment”) in the event that additional shares of Common Stock are issued in excess of the amounts offered in Acquiror’s initial public offering of securities. As of and conditioned upon the Closing, the Sponsor and each Insider hereby irrevocably relinquishes and waives any and all rights the Sponsor and each Insider has or will have under Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Certificate of Incorporation to receive shares of Common Stock in excess of the number issuable at the Initial Conversion Ratio upon conversion of the existing Founder Shares held by him, her or it, as applicable, in connection with the Closing as a result of any Adjustment. To the extent the Sponsor or any Insider receives any shares of Common Stock as a result of any Adjustment in connection with the Closing, it, he or she shall promptly surrender such shares for cancelation, and no consideration shall be payable in connection therewith.

(v) Successors and Assigns. If, during the Vesting Period, Acquiror, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person (including in connection with a Change of Control) and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, Acquiror and the Company shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Acquiror or the Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this paragraph 7, provided however, that the foregoing shall not limit Acquiror or the Company from consummating any Change of Control or entering into an agreement that contemplates a Change of Control.

8. The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that (a) it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked and (b) it, he or she has full right and power, without violating any Contract to which it, he or she is bound, to enter into this Letter Agreement. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to Acquiror (including any such information included in the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to such Insider’s background. The Sponsor’s and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to Acquiror is true and accurate in all respects. The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that: it, he or she

 

8


is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; it, he or she has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities and it, he or she is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding.

9. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any Insider nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any Insider, nor any director or officer of Acquiror shall receive from Acquiror any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate the consummation of Acquiror’s initial Business Combination, including the Transactions, other than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust Account prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination, including the Transactions and each of which shall, as of and in connection with the Closing, be paid off in full and no further liabilities or obligations in respect thereof shall be due and owing by Acquiror or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing: repayment of a loan and advances of up to an aggregate of $300,000 made to Acquiror by the Sponsor to cover offering related and organizational expenses; payment to an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, administrative support services for a total of $20,000 per month; reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Acquiror from time to time, made by the Sponsor or any of Acquiror’s officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if Acquiror does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used by Acquiror to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment; provided, further, that in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of a post-Combination entity (other than in connection with the Transactions) at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender, with such warrants to be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

10. The Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it, he or she is bound (including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as a director on Acquiror’s board of directors.

12


4.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

4.10 Conflict with Certificate of Incorporation. In the event of a conflict between the Certificate of Incorporation and this Agreement, it is expressly agreed that, to the extent not inconsistent with Delaware Law, as between the Advent Stockholders this Agreement shall prevail and the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to be consistent with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation or of any previous certificate of incorporation of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent not inconsistent with Delaware Law, the Company undertakes to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement insofar as the same relates to the Company and any Subsidiaries of the Company and to act in all respects as contemplated by this Agreement.

4.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings or agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby exist between the parties hereto except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement.

4.12 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

4.13 Construction. Any use of the singular or plural, or the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, includes the others, unless the context otherwise requires; “including” means “including without limitation;” “or” means “and/or;” “any” means “any one, more than one, or all.”. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity)

 

13


which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. All references in this Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction occurring after the date hereof.

The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall be a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1 Shelf”) or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such

 

5


Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. As soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1, but in any event within one (1) business day of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made).

2.1.2 Form S-3 Shelf. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, but not later than the Target Filing Date, the Company shall (i) prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Form S-3 Shelf”) that covers all Registrable Securities then outstanding for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Form S-3 Shelf to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. In addition, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Form S-3 Shelf filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.2 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Form S-3 Shelf is available or, if not available, that another Form S-3 Shelf (if the Company is eligible to file a Form S-3 Shelf) or other Registration Statement (if the Company is not so eligible) is continuously available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. For purposes hereof, “Target Filing Date” shall mean the date which is 30 days after the Company becomes qualified to register the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act pursuant to a Form S-3 Shelf. If the Company files a Form S-3 Shelf and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Form S-1 Shelf as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement that is a Form S-3 Shelf and have the Form S-1 Shelf declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such Form S-1 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.2 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made).

2.1.3 Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, any Holder may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement, including a Block Trade (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”), provided that such Holder(s) (a) reasonably expects aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering but in no event less than $10,000,000. All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice (or within one (1) business day with respect to a request for a Block Trade), the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to reductions consistent with the Pro Rata calculations in Section 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice, or, in the case of a Block Trade, within one (1) business day after sending the

 

6


Company Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the initiating Holders after consultation with the Company and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in underwritten offerings of securities by the Company.

2.1.4 Holder Information Required for Participation in Shelf Registration. At least ten (10) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date (or any earlier confidential submission date, to the extent the information contemplated by this subsection 2.1.4 is anticipated to be included such Registration Statement on such date) of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to notify each Holder in writing (which may be by email) of the information reasonably necessary about the Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent the Company has not received such information, and received any other reasonably requested agreements or certificates, on or prior to the fifth business day prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II.

2.2 Demand Registration.

2.2.1 Request for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4 hereof and provided that the Company does not have an effective Registration Statement pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 or subsection 2.1.2 outstanding covering Registrable Securities, (a) the Existing Holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Existing Holders or (b) the New Holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the New Holders (the “Demanding Holders”), in each case, may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration (other than with respect to a Block Trade), notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than thirty (30) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration by the Existing Holders under this subsection 2.2.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities held by such Existing Holders; provided, however, that a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement that may be available at such time has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders and the Demanding Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders and the Demanding Holders in such Registration Statement have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

2.2.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.2.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not

 

7


to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

2.2.3 Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration, which Underwriter(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

2.2.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Company Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Company Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in like manner; and (ii)second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Company Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Company Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.5 Demand Registration Withdrawal. Any of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or any of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.2.1 shall have the right to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.3 for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration at least one (1) business day prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration (or in the case of an Underwritten Registration pursuant to Rule 415, at least two (2) business days prior to the time of pricing of the applicable offering). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.5.

2.3 Piggyback Registration.

2.3.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for a rights offering or an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.3.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

2.3.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of Company Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Company Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, and (iii) the Company Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Company Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders in like manner; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested or demanded pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b) If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Company Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders in like manner; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing

 

9


clauses (A) and (B), the Company Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Company Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.3.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration (or in the case of an Underwritten Registration pursuant to Rule 415, at least two (2) business days prior to the time of pricing of the applicable offering). The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.3.

2.3.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.2 hereof or a Shelf Underwritten Offering effected under subsection 2.1.3.

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the President or Secretary of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any 12-month period (the “Aggregate Blocking Period”).

2.5 Block Trades. Subject to Sections 2.4 and 3.4, if the Holders request to effect a Block Trade by delivering a Shelf Takedown Notice pursuant to subsection 2.1.3 or a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Block Trade. The Holders shall use reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the Underwriter(s) (including by disclosing the maximum number of Registrable Securities proposed to be the subject of such Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade and any related due diligence and comfort procedures.

2.6 Rule 415; Removal. If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2 is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act (provided, however, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the Commission Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09) or requires a Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall (i) promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof (or in the case of the Commission requiring a Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Holders) and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to persuade the Commission that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on

 

10


behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Holders is an “underwriter.” The Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel designated by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities subject to such Registration Statement to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2.6, including participation in any meetings or discussions with the Commission regarding the Commission’s position and to comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission with respect to this matter shall be made to the Commission to which the applicable Holders’ counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2.6, the Commission refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Removed Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the Commission may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415; provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder. In the event of a share removal pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Company shall give the applicable Holders at least five (5) days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. Any removal of shares of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be allocated between the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by the Holders. In the event of a share removal of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Company shall promptly register the resale of any Removed Shares pursuant to subsection 2.1.2 hereof and in no event shall the filing of such Registration Statement on Form S-1 or subsequent Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to the terms of subsection 2.1.2 be counted as a Demand Registration hereunder. Until such time as the Company has registered all of the Removed Shares for resale pursuant to Rule 415 on an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall not be able to defer the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.15 if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter(s) in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

3.2 Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days per suspension, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose; provided, that each day of any such suspension pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall correspondingly decrease the Aggregate Blocking Period available to the Company during any twelve (12) month period pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be permitted to file a registration statement to register for sale, or to conduct any registered securities offerings (including any “take-downs” off of an effective shelf registration statement) of, any of its securities either for its own account or the account of any other person during any deferral or suspension pursuant to this Section 3.4.

 

13


3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of the Company Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing any legal opinions.

3.6 Transfer Restrictions.

3.6.1 During the applicable Lock-Up Periods, no Existing Holder or New Holder, as the case may be, shall offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or distribute any shares of Company Stock that are subject to an applicable Lock-Up Period or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Company Stock that are subject to an applicable Lock-Up Period, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, that is owned directly by such Existing Holder or New Holder (including securities held as a custodian) or with respect to which such Existing Holder or New Holder has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Commission (such securities that are subject to an applicable Lock-Up Period, the “Restricted Securities”), other than any transfer to a Permitted Transferee, as applicable. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude each Existing Holder or New Holder, as applicable, from engaging in any hedging or other transaction with respect to Restricted Securities which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Restricted Securities even if such Restricted Securities would be disposed of by someone other than such Existing Holder or New Holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions include any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option) with respect to any of the Restricted Securities of the applicable Existing Holder or New Holder, or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Restricted Securities.

3.6.2 Each Existing Holder and New Holder hereby represents and warrants that it now has and, except as contemplated by this subsection 3.6.2 for the duration of the applicable Lock-Up Period, will have good and marketable title to its Restricted Securities, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims that could impact the ability of such Existing Holder or New Holder to comply with the foregoing restrictions. Each Existing Holder and New Holder agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of any Restricted Securities during the applicable Lock-Up Period.

3.6.3 Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2, transfers of the Registrable Securities that are held by any Existing Holder, any New Holder or any of their Permitted Transferees are permitted to:

(a) in the case of an entity, transfer to a stockholder, partner, member or affiliate of such entity;

(b) in the case of an individual, transfer by gift to members of the individual’s immediate family (as defined below) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization;

(c) in the case of an individual, transfer by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual;

(d) in the case of an individual, transfer pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;

(e) in the case of an entity, transfer by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization or the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity;

 

14


(f) exercise any options or warrants to purchase Company Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis);

(g) transfer to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or arrangements;

(h) transfer to the Company pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the Closing that provides for the repurchase by the Company or forfeiture of the Holder’s Company Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Company Stock in connection with the termination of the Holder’s service to the Company;

(i) enter into, at any time after the Closing, any trading plan providing for the sale of Company Stock by the Holder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Company Stock during the applicable Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the applicable Lock-Up Period; and

(j) enter into transactions in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s Holders having the right to exchange their shares of Company Stock for cash, securities or other property.

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Holder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions. For purposes of this section, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the Holder; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and agents and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any

 

15


information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action and the benefits received by the such indemnifying party or indemnified party; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by Pro Rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The Company may terminate the Employee’s active employment because of a Permanent Disability by giving written notice to the Employee at any time effective at or within 20 days after the end period of leave as may be required under the family and medical leave laws or under federal, state or local disability laws, but the Company shall retain the Employee as an inactive employee if necessary to maintain the Employee’s eligibility for any disability leave benefits.

2.14 Permitted Activities: “Permitted Activities” shall mean Employee’s service on charitable or civic boards, service on behalf of charitable organizations or foundations, supervision of passive investments, or the professional activities enumerated in Exhibit B, in each case, which do not, individually or in the aggregate, interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder.

(f) Limitations. Employee’s assignment of inventions under this Section 4.10 does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the Employee’s own time, unless:

Employee therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 or 4.10 by Employee cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent.

II and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns.

-17-


avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable currently to Employee under Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company and Employee shall cooperate in good faith to (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that they mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement, and to avoid less-favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company, and/or (ii) take such other actions as mutually determined to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Code Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; provided, however, that this Section 24.1 does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee that the amounts payable hereunder will not be subject to interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, and in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Employee as a result of Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

24.2 A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Employee’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

24.3 If Employee is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Employee, and (ii) the date of Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 24.3 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period to Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

 

-18-


24.4 With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, to the extent that any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, (x) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (y) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, to be provided in any other taxable year, provided, that this clause (y) shall not be violated with regard to any medical expenses subject to a limit as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B), and (z) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

Except for obligations created by this Mutual Release and the Employment Agreement, the Company hereby covenants not to sue and fully releases Employee and Employee’s successors and assigns (the “Employee Releasees”), with respect to and from all actions, and claims of any kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which the Company may now have or has ever had against any of the Employee Releasees, including all claims arising from Employee’s position as an officer, director or employee of the Company and the termination of that relationship, as of the date of this Mutual Release; except, in each case, with respect to Claims arising out of or otherwise relating to the purchase, ownership or sale of any equity securities of the Company or any successor thereof; provided, however, the Company does not release the Employee Releasees with respect to claims arising out of or relating to their fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Employee therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 or 4.10 by Employee cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent.

II and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns.

4.12 Prior Agreements. Employee represents and warrants that Employee is not a party to any non-competition agreement or other contractual limitation that would interfere with or hinder Employee’s ability to undertake the obligations and expectations of employment with the Company. Employee represents that Employee’s performance of all of the terms of this Agreement as an employee of the Company has not breached and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Employee in confidence or trust prior to the commencement of Employee’s employment with the Company, and Employee will not disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use, any developments, or confidential information or material Employee may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer in violation of a confidentiality agreement, nondisclosure agreement, or similar agreement with such prior employer.

24.1 The parties agree that this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and authoritative guidance promulgated thereunder to the extent applicable (collectively “Code Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable currently to Employee under Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company and Employee shall cooperate in good faith to (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that they mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement, and to avoid less-favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company, and/or (ii) take such other actions as mutually determined to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Code Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; provided, however, that this Section 24.1 does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee that the amounts payable hereunder will not be subject to interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, and in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Employee as a result of Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Employee’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

24.3 If Employee is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Employee, and (ii) the date of Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 24.3 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period to Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

 

-18-


24.4 With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, to the extent that any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, (x) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (y) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, to be provided in any other taxable year, provided, that this clause (y) shall not be violated with regard to any medical expenses subject to a limit as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B), and (z) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

Advent International-Backed ATI Physical Therapy Set to Go Public

Through Business Combination with Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II

 

   

ATI Physical Therapy is a premier outpatient physical therapy company, leveraging an outcomes database of 2.5+ million unique patient cases and an industry-leading, scalable platform to drive high-quality musculoskeletal outcomes and outstanding customer satisfaction

 

   

Transaction values ATI at an enterprise value of $2.5 billion and is expected to provide up to $645 million in cash proceeds, including $300 million of fully committed PIPE

 

   

Investment funds affiliated with Fortress Investment Group LLC are investing $75 million into the PIPE and are joined by institutional investors including Wells Capital Management, Weiss Asset Management and Monashee Investment Management

 

   

Proceeds will be primarily used to repay existing debt and preferred equity, delivering financial flexibility to fuel ATI’s significant organic and acquisition growth opportunities

 

   

Advent International and Management are rolling 100 percent of existing equity; Advent will remain the Company’s largest stockholder and be closely aligned with Fortress and public stockholders at transaction close

 

   

Existing preferred holders for ATI, including GCM Grosvenor, are also rolling a significant portion of their existing stake

Bolingbrook, IL and New York, NY – February 22, 2021 – Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II (“FVAC II”) (NYSE: FAII), a special purpose acquisition company, and ATI Physical Therapy (“ATI” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of Advent International (“Advent”) and the largest single-branded outpatient physical therapy provider in the United States, announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will operate as “ATI Physical Therapy, Inc.” and remain NYSE-listed under a new ticker symbol. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of this year, subject to approval by FVAC II’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions.

ATI owns and operates nearly 900 physical therapy clinics across 25 states. The Company operates its business based on data and analytics, augmented by a relentless focus on delivering superior patient outcomes that exceed industry benchmarks and service excellence to its patient, provider and payor customers.

The existing management team, led by CEO Labeed Diab, CFO Joe Jordan and COO Ray Wahl, will continue to lead the business, and Advent will remain ATI’s largest stockholder.

 


A Record of Growth in an Evolving Industry

ATI operates in the growing outpatient physical therapy segment of the musculoskeletal (“MSK”) treatment industry, which represents an estimated $22 billion market, within a broader MSK treatment industry representing $300-$400 billion in total spend.1 Multiple secular tailwinds are driving increased demand for outpatient physical therapy services, including: favorable demographic trends, specifically the rise in individuals over the age of 65; greater desire for active lifestyles throughout life; and continued shift towards outpatient care. In addition, there is an increasing shift away from invasive and cost inefficient treatment modalities such as surgeries and opioids to physical therapy as an effective first line of treatment for many MSK conditions.

The combination of a fast-growing market and transition to value-based healthcare has allowed ATI to execute a strategy of organic growth, accretive acquisitions and market-leading profitability in a highly fragmented industry. Since 2016, ATI has opened approximately 300 new clinics and acquired and integrated approximately 125 clinics. And with its EMR database of 2.5+ million patient cases, the Company believes it is uniquely equipped to not only deliver consistent, high-quality patient outcomes but also intelligently design and capitalize on value-based healthcare risk sharing arrangements.

“I am extremely proud of our team and the leadership role ATI plays across the nation in consistently delivering exceptional musculoskeletal outcomes, driving efficiencies and cost savings that benefit the healthcare ecosystem and delivering great results for our patients, providers and payors,” said Labeed Diab, CEO of ATI. “We expect to remain an active participant in the evolution of the industry and look forward to this next, exciting phase of our growth.”

Drew McKnight, CEO of FVAC II, commented, “We have followed ATI for a long time, having been an investor in the credit for over ten years. Since Advent bought the business in 2016, we’ve watched and admired the company’s growth, in particular their approximately 300 new clinics through their de novo growth effort. With this strong leadership team and strong balance sheet, we believe ATI is well positioned to continue this de novo growth as well as be a primary and preferred acquirer in what is still a fragmented industry.”

John Maldonado, a Managing Partner at Advent, said, “We are proud of what we have achieved in our partnership with ATI. Together, we strengthened ATI’s industry leadership through a focus on outcomes and value-based care initiatives that have further differentiated the Company’s physical therapy offering. Our tech and operational investments have enabled ATI to grow its clinic footprint by 50 percent while consistently putting patient care first and further enhancing its clinician-centric culture. We look forward to working more closely with Fortress in supporting ATI’s continued growth.”

Key Transaction Terms

The combined company represents an enterprise value of approximately $2.5 billion at closing, or 14.0x 2022E Adjusted EBITDA.

In connection with this transaction:

 

   

Cash proceeds raised will consist of FVAC II’s cash in trust of $345 million and a fully committed common stock PIPE of $300 million at $10.00 per share from institutional investors including Fortress Investment Group LLC, Wells Capital Management, Weiss Asset Management and Monashee Investment Management.

 

1 

According to a third-party market study as of December 11, 2020.


   

FVAC II has amended the terms of its founder equity to align with long-term value creation and performance of the Company. FVAC II’s sponsor will defer 100 percent of its founder shares in accordance with the following vesting schedule: 33 percent at $12.00 per share, 33 percent at $14.00 per share, and 33 percent at $16.00 per share. FVAC II’s sponsor will also cancel 50 percent of private warrants.

 

   

Advent and other existing common equity holders of ATI, including management, will remain 100 percent invested following the closing, rolling approximately $1.3 billion of investment holdings into equity of the combined company.

 

   

ATI’s preferred equity holders, including GCM Grosvenor, who has been a decade-long investor in ATI, will continue to be significant investors and are converting approximately $130 million of existing stake into equity of the combined company.

 

   

Cash proceeds will be used to pay down ATI’s existing debt and remaining preferred equity, significantly reducing leverage. Pro forma net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is expected to be reduced from 5.2x to 2.1x based on 2022E Adjusted EBITDA.

 

   

ATI common equity holders, ATI preferred equity holders, FVAC II stockholders and PIPE investors (including investment funds affiliated with Fortress Investment Group LLC ) are expected to own approximately 63 percent, 6 percent, 17 percent and 14 percent, respectively, of the outstanding common shares of the combined company immediately following the merger.2

The Boards of Directors of both FVAC II and ATI have unanimously approved the proposed business combination, and, following such approval, ATI stockholders adopted the merger agreement. No further approval by ATI stockholders is required to consummate the proposed business combination. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, subject to, among other customary closing conditions, approval by FVAC II stockholders and FVAC II having minimum cash of $472.5 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “target” or other similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics (including pro forma net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio), projections of market opportunity and market share, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the potential transaction and the PIPE, the level of redemptions by FVAC II’s public stockholders and the timing of the completion of the potential transaction, including the anticipated closing date of the proposed business combination and the use of the cash proceeds therefrom. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of ATI’s and FVAC II’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of ATI and FVAC II. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of FVAC II is not obtained; (iii) the ability to maintain the listing of the combined company’s securities on NYSE; (iv) the inability to complete the PIPE; (v) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of FVAC II or ATI as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transaction described herein; (vi) the risk that any of the conditions to closing are not satisfied in the anticipated manner or on the anticipated timeline; (vii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; (viii) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to ATI and costs related to the proposed business combination; (ix) risks related to the rollout of ATI’s business strategy and the timing of expected business milestones; (x) the effects of competition on ATI’s future business and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (xi) risks related to political and macroeconomic uncertainty; (xii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FVAC II, ATI or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the potential transaction; (xiii) the amount of redemption requests made by FVAC II’s public stockholders; (xiv) the ability of FVAC II or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt


financing in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; (xv) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on any of the foregoing risks; and (xvi) those factors discussed in FVAC II’s final prospectus dated August 11, 2020 and any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of FVAC II filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or FVAC II’s or ATI’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither FVAC II nor ATI presently know or that FVAC II and ATI currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect FVAC II’s and ATI’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. FVAC II and ATI anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause FVAC II’s and ATI’s assessments to change. However, while FVAC II and ATI may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, FVAC II and ATI specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing FVAC II’s and ATI’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial information and data contained in this press release is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement/prospectus or registration statement to be filed by FVAC II with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). FVAC II and ATI believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to ATI’s financial condition and results of operations. ATI’s management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. FVAC II and ATI believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing ATI’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, ATI’s method of determining these measures may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be directly comparable to those used by other similar companies. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in ATI’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.

The general explanations included in this Presentation cannot address, and are not intended to address, your specific investment objectives, financial situations or financial needs. The proposed business combination will be submitted to the stockholders of FVAC for their consideration and approval at a special meeting of stockholders. FVAC intends to file a preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the SEC, which will be distributed to holders of FVAC’s common stock, once definitive, in connection with FVAC’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by FVAC’s stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination and other matters as described in the Proxy Statement.

NO OFFER OR SOLICITATION This Presentation relates to the potential financing of a portion of the Proposed Business Combination through a private placement of FVAC’s common stock. This Presentation shall not constitute a “solicitation” as defined in Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Presentation does not constitute an offer, or a solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell any securities, investment or other specific product, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities, investment or other specific product in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any offering of securities (the “Securities”) will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be offered as a private placement to a limited number of institutional “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act and “Institutional Accounts” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c). Accordingly, the Securities must continue to be held unless a subsequent disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Investors should consult with their counsel as to the applicable requirements for a purchaser to avail itself of any exemption under the Securities Act. The transfer of the Securities may also be subject to conditions set forth in an agreement under which they are to be issued. Investors should be aware that they might be required to bear the final risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time. Neither Wilco nor FVAC is making an offer of the Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PRESENTATION IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “target” or other similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics (including pro forma net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio), projections of market opportunity and market share, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the potential transaction and the PIPE, the level of redemptions by FVAC’s public stockholders and the timing of the completion of the potential transaction, including the anticipated closing date of the proposed business combination and the use of the cash proceeds therefrom. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, and on the current expectations of Wilco’s and FVAC’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or im possible to predict and may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Wilco and FVAC. These forward- looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of FVAC is not obtained; (iii) the ability to maintain the listing of the combined company’s securities on NYSE; (iv) the inability to complete the PIPE; (v) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of FVAC or Wilco as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transaction described herein; (vi) the risk that any of the conditions to closing are not satisfied in the anticipated manner or on the anticipated timeline; (vii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; (viii) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Wilco and costs related to the proposed business combination; (ix) risks related to the rollout of Wilco’s business strategy and the timing of expected business milestones; (x) the effects of competition on Wilco’s future business and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (xi) risks related to political and macroeconomic uncertainty; (xii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FVAC, Wilco or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the potential transaction; (xiii) the amount of redemption requests made by FVAC’s public stockholders; (xiv) the ability of FVAC or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; (xv) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on any of the foregoing risks; and (xvi) those factors discussed in FVAC’s final prospectus dated August 11, 2020 and any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of FVAC filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or FVAC’s or Wilco’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither FVAC nor Wilco presently know or that FVAC and Wilco currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect FVAC’s and Wilco’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. FVAC and Wilco anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause FVAC’s and Wilco’s assessments to change. However, while FVAC and Wilco may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, FVAC and Wilco specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing FVAC’s and Wilco’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA Although all information and opinions expressed in this Presentation, including market data and other statistical information, were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, Wilco and FVAC have not independently verified the information and make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Wilco and FVAC, which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above.

FVAC and Wilco anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause FVAC’s and Wilco’s assessments to change. However, while FVAC and Wilco may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, FVAC and Wilco specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing FVAC’s and Wilco’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA Although all information and opinions expressed in this Presentation, including market data and other statistical information, were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, Wilco and FVAC have not independently verified the information and make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Wilco and FVAC, which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with Wilco and FVAC. USE OF PROJECTIONS This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Wilco, including, but not limited to, estimated results for fiscal year 2020. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward-Looking Statements” paragraph above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Neither FVAC’s nor Wilco’s independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES The financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement/prospectus or registration statement to be filed by FVAC with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Clinic Contribution, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). FVAC and Wilco believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Wilco’s financial condition and results of operations. Wilco’s management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. FVAC and Wilco believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Wilco’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Wilco’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are provided in the Appendix to this Presentation. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES Wilco and FVAC own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This Presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. The use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this Presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with Wilco or FVAC, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of Wilco or FVAC.

Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II & Advent-Backed ATI Physical Therapy

Merger Announcement

February 22, 2021

CORPORATE PARTICIPANTS

Drew McKnight, Chief Executive Officer, Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II

Labeed Diab, Chief Executive Officer, ATI Physical Therapy

Joseph Jordan, Chief Financial Officer, ATI Physical Therapy

PRESENTATION

 

Drew McKnight:    Welcome everyone. My name is Drew McKnight, CEO of Fortress Value Acquisition II.
   We’re very pleased to announce today the merger between Fortress Value Acquisition II and ATI Physical Therapy.
   We are extremely excited about the opportunity to work together with this great management team and Advent. I’ll turn it to Labeed and Joe for quick introductions.
Labeed Diab:    Thanks, Drew. My name is Labeed Diab and I have the pleasure of leading our organization as CEO. I started with our company in February of 2019, after spending a significant portion of my career in the pharmacy and drugstore industry; organizations like Walmart, as President of Health and Wellness for the U.S., and at Humana as President of Pharmacy Solutions where pricing, and cost pressures changed the competitive landscape, and reshaped the industry.
   Those same, exact forces are impacting the PT industry now, and I have navigated this exact situation before, and successfully grew market share. I am thrilled to be here, and excited to share our story, and the journey we’re about to take. Joe, let me turn it over to you.
Joseph Jordan:    Thank you, Labeed. As Labeed mentioned, my name is Joe Jordan. I am the CFO of ATI. I joined the company in 2018. During my tenure here, I have been heavily focused on building up our infrastructure and setting up our scalable support platform.
   I believe that our Platform allows us to take advantage of the growth opportunities in front of us as it relates to M&A, and as it relates to De Novos.
   The infrastructure that we put in place is paying great dividends for us and it’s something that personally excites me about ATI’s future.
   That’s a little bit about my background. And with that, let me turn it back to Drew to talk a little bit about Fortress’ involvement.
Drew McKnight:    Thanks, Joe, and thanks, Labeed. Moving past slide 3, onto slide 4, here’s a brief overview of the Fortress SPAC business, this is actually our third SPAC that we’ve sponsored. The previous two have both completed mergers, the first, Mosaic Acquisition, merged with Vivint Smart Home early last year in 2020, and has seen great share price performance.
   And our second SPAC, Fortress Value Acquisition I, merged with MP Materials later last year in November, and is also seeing strong stock performance.

   We view the SPAC business as a core tenant within our credit work stream, and as an equity capital solution in situations where we are familiar with the company, yet they’re looking for a different type of solution.
   And we believe ATI fits that bill perfectly. We’ve actually been involved in ATI going back to 2010 with two previous sponsors
   Moving onto slide 5, let’s talk about the transaction. We’re incredibly excited about ATI and the purchase price that we’re going in at. At 14 times EBITDA, we believe we’re at a healthy discount to the clear comp USPH, as well as other high value, high growth businesses that we believe ATI ultimately will outperform.
   Advent International, the current sponsor is not selling any shares and rolling their entire stake. The management team is also rolling their entire stake. Furthermore, Fortress has agreed to defer our entire promote into an earn-out structure, aligning us with the public shareholders and PIPE investors.
   We believe this strong alignment is incredibly important and sets us up for success over the long-term, and is a sign of our confidence, Advent management team, and Fortress all have in the business. With that, let’s move onto slide 6 and hear from Labeed about the investment thesis.
Labeed Diab:    Thanks, Drew. This slide sets the context for the remainder of the deck that we’re going to cover. This is what gets me excited on a day in and day out basis. I would like to go through the eight buckets, and then we’ll dive into a bit more detail.
   First of all, we are a part of a very large, growing industry that we believe is on the right side of healthcare. And what do I mean by the right side of health care? We offer an alternative in physical therapy that is a lower cost versus MRIs and CAT scans; lower cost versus prescriptions and drugs, like opioids; and definitely, lower costs versus surgeries and long hospital stays.
   Number two, we have an industry-leading platform that is driving differentiated outcomes. And you’ll see later in the deck that through the utilization of data and analytics, and external validation, our outcomes stand out versus the industry benchmarks.
   Number three, we have very strong historical growth and momentum. And that’s come by way of same store growth De Novo growth, and M&A.
   Fourth, we have a unified brand with local market strategy delivering same clinic growth. Having one name, one brand across the entire, almost 900 clinics is a differentiator in this industry, and a differentiator when compared to our publicly traded competitors.

ATI Physical Therapy – Investor Presentation Transcript

 

   I believe this is important for our patients; important for our referral resources; and it is becoming clearly evident, very important to the payers.
   Next, we will talk about our De Novo program. We’ve opened more than 300 clinics since 2016 through our De Novo program, and we have identified an additional 900 clinics that can be opened over the next ten years, which Joe will talk about later.
   Number 6, is M&A, Joe will discuss our M&A platform and why we will be the acquirer of choice. We did over 50 acquisitions between 2010 and 2016, at which point we started investing in our platform, slowed our M&A, and focused on our De Novos.
   But we are now ready and primed, and we believe we will be the acquirer of choice for M&A opportunities.
   Next, we’ll talk about some significant opportunities that are helping us accelerate growth. Some of those are strategic partnerships, some of those are expanding our offering in terms of the type of physical therapy that we’re offering in our clinics.
   And then last but not least, I will touch on our extremely experienced and public-ready management team.
   Moving to slide 8, I’d like to talk about why we are the premier outpatient physical therapy platform. If you look at the left-hand side, we are the largest single-branded physical therapy provider by clinic count that is wholly owned across 25 states with almost 900 clinics.
   We have a purpose built EMR that helps our clinicians avoid compliance and billing risks. This EMR also has a database of over two million unique patient cases measuring outcomes.
   And that’s critical because our treatment protocols are guided by our EMR. So whether you’re being seen in the East Coast, the West Coast, South, or Central, you have access to the exact same optimized treatment protocols based on real world evidence from over two million unique patient cases that allow our therapists to deliver a high standard of care that exceeds the knowledge and experiences of any one individual clinician. Again, this is different than our competitors and different than anyone in the industry.
   In our clinics, we use a team-based care approach model. We work with our physical therapists, our physical therapy assistants, and our operation support specialists to deliver quality care.

ATI Physical Therapy – Investor Presentation Transcript

 

   So when you come into one of our clinics, you may be seen by a physical therapist or by a physical therapy assistant, depending on the complexity of the situation, and the treatment models that you need in correlation with the referring physician.
   Next, something that we’re extremely proud of is we were certified as a Great Places to Work. Our organization has a fantastic culture, a very high retention, low turnover. When I joined the organization a couple years ago, I saw something special, and we wanted that validated. So we brought in Great Places to Work to validate.
   The lower left-hand quadrant of the slide just shows you our diversified payer mix, roughly 50% commercial, 25% Medicare and Medicaid, and 25% worker’s comp, and other. Another highlight on this page that we’re proud of is our Net Promoter Score. The consumer has a choice of where they want to go, and they demand great service.
   And I am extremely proud of the fact that we had a 79 NPS which is rare in this industry or any industry. I’m very proud of the team, and very proud of this accomplishment.
   Turning to slide 9, I want to focus your attention on a couple of things. First of all, the red bubble at the bottom of the slide is our core addressable market. The outpatient PT industry is a large industry at $22 billion. When looking at the top ten players in this industry, whether public, or privately held, collectively, they operate less than 15% of all clinics.
   There is a significant upside for ATI to continue to grow. The other thing that is intriguing, and something that I’m personally very excited about is the broader circle, the musculoskeletal treatment, $300 to $400 billion. There is a significant opportunity for our company as the industry continues to shift towards outpatient care to capture spend from this bubble.
   When you use physical therapy as a first-line and a first line of treatment, it is a very cost-effective care model. And it will be increasingly important, and I’ll show you later how we’re shifting some of the spend into the outpatient PT industry. Again, it’s something that we’re very excited about.
   On the right hand of the slide, you’ll see that when PT is used as a first line for lower back pain, for example, research finds that the probability of an ER visit decreases by 15%, the utilization of advanced imaging services decreases by 28%, and the probability of having an opioid prescription decreases by almost 90%.

   So again, very critical as we continue to educate our patients, our referral resources, that PT can reduce costs, improve outcomes, and be a very critical component of the healthcare ecosystem.
   If we go to slide 10, you’ll see here, we are leading the evolution of the industry. On the left-hand side of the slide, the industry sits in physical therapy 1.0. Physician refers the patient, they give siloed care, and it’s a fee-for-service.
   On the right-hand side of the slide, ATI is at physical healthcare 2.0. There are four focuses for us. Number one is a consumer driven healthcare, the consumer has a choice, and they’re voting where to go.
   And I couldn’t be more proud of the service that we provide. And you see our CareWire ratings, our Google ratings, and you heard me mention our NPS scores.
   Number two, we’re offering an integrated care delivery model and team-based care. You come into our clinic, and depending on the complexity of your injury, you could be seen by a physical therapist. If it’s less complex, you could be seen by a PTA, or it could be an OSS. Again, deep operating, team-focused performance, that is connected to the physicians, and therapists that we work with.
   Third, upfront, conservative care. This is all based on data and clinical guidelines supported by real-world evidence. So when you walk into one of our clinics, the treatment models are consistent across every one of our clinics from East to West to South.
   Last but not least is the fee-for-outcomes. This is unique to the industry. Our EMR has a database of over two million cases, and we have superior outcomes versus the industry. This is becoming extremely meaningful for payers and for physicians.
   This slide talks about what we’ve done over the last three years to make sure that our platform is built for scalability. Between 2017 and 2018, we invested in our systems. We now have a very stable, reliable system that is performing, executing seamlessly, and ready for growth. We enhanced our back-office processes and controls which positions us to scale; and invested in our rev cycle management function to position us for growth.
   Between 2018 and 19, we invested in people, vertically and horizontally across the entire organization from the executive leadership down to our clinic level. We improved our De Novo infrastructure, and you’ll hear Joe talk about that. we also invested and enhanced our go to market sales and market capabilities.

   In 2020, we invested in clinical optimization. This is when COVID hit and the highlight that I’ll share with you here is within four weeks of COVID hitting, we launched and introduced ATI Connect, our telehealth offering. And since its inception, we’ve seen over 36,000 visits in our telehealth offering.
   Now, I want to be very clear, this does not replace the in-clinic hands-on approach to treat and get a patient well. But this gives them the choice, if they are not comfortable because of COVID, if they are busy, and they can’t come in for their visit, that they have an opportunity to go through telehealth, or get diagnosed through telehealth.
   This is a very busy slide but it’s important for me to ground you on the fact that our platform is delivering great and differentiated outcomes. I referenced our EMR. Our EMR takes billing and compliance risk away, focusing our clinicians on their patients, allowing them to practice at the top of their license, and again, delivering consistent treatment models.
   In the middle of the page, you see a sample of a clinician scorecard. Because of our EMR, and because of the data, because of our focus on superior outcomes, we actually produce a clinician scorecard for every one of our employees across the country, showing them how they measure versus our protocols, and the outcomes that we expect. We also produce these clinical scorecards for our physicians, which creates a really close connectivity when we think about team-based care.
   In the lower quadrant, you’ll see some examples of what we call clinic performance analytics. We have tools that allow us to track and report KPIs at the clinic level and at the clinician level, including productivity, quality, and outcomes. Our data allows us to run the business, and continue helping our clinicians run the business through the mission and margin aspect of being an operator.
   All that leads us to the right-hand side of the slide, and you see there, our superior clinical outcomes, and the benchmarks versus the industry. And we highlight here, just the back, the shoulder, and the knee.
   You can see where ATI outperformed the industry. That becomes critically important and a very significant value prop to all stakeholders, from a patient perspective, to provider perspective, and definitely to a payer.
   Let’s go to slide 13, and just continue the dialogue on payers, and how we’re leveraging the value prop to drive results with payers. It starts with people. We went out in the last year and a half and hired some industry experts. Joe Zavalishin, who is a member of my team, is a 25-year veteran that led payer operations for Optum, Walgreens, and Aetna.

   And then, in 2020, we complemented his team by bringing on Amber Compton, who is a 30-year veteran in the payer industry between Express Scripts and Walgreens. Very proud of the team and very proud of the work that they’re doing.
   When we think about the value proposition for payers, it is exactly what ATI is doing, and that’s why we are excited about the fact that we can now go have conversations with commercial payers and government payers around value-based outcomes. When you think about what the payers are demanding, they’re demanding customer satisfaction, great outcomes, and lower cost.
   We have a very high customer satisfaction score, As I mentioned before, our NPS is at 79.
   Number two is we have a large and a growing proprietary database with over two million unique patient cases that demonstrate outcomes and produce data compared to the industry averages. We have consistency in care. And then last but not least, we are a lower cost modality and have the capability and infrastructure to take on MSK risk. And I’ll show you an example and a case study of that shortly.
   This is just a snapshot of our leadership team. I’ve been working for 30 years in healthcare and healthcare services, and this is the strongest team that I’ve ever worked with and compiled. Our team is deep, and experienced, and public-ready for this next journey of our company.
   Let’s now shift, and start talking about the three pillars of growth, and the strategy that is driving our robust growth. Our pillars of growth are; same clinic growth, De Novos, and M&A opportunities. I will talk about how we drive same store clinic growth and Joe will discuss buckets number two and three.
   If we go to slide 17, we have a track record of driving strong same clinic volume growth. We have developed strategies at the local level that are very customized to unique conditions and opportunities in respective localities.
   Our sales and marketing teams spend a significant amount of time driving referrals and increasing conversion rates by the use of data and analytics. We have a multi-channel approach to driving clinic volumes, and our systems and staffing models maximize clinic level productivity.
   And you can see on the right-hand side, we have laid out our same clinic volume growth as we compare ourselves to our publicly traded competitor, USPH. We are extremely proud of these volumes and the same clinic growth.

   If we go to slide 18, we continue to share with you some multi-channel same clinic volume funnels. When we think about providers, as I talked about the physicians, and the referral resources, we’ve had very hyper-local strategies with analytics that identify incremental referral opportunities. We have a data driven approach to coverage based upon MD opportunity.
   I know, the map below is very hard to see. But I just want you to be oriented to the fact that we use extreme precision, a lot of data, and analytics in terms of our referral resources.
   In the middle of the page, just to touch on consumers, we have very convenient clinics at highly attractive retail locations. We offer extended hours, it’s important that the patient has the ability to see their provider when they want based on convenience. So we no longer serve the patient just on a Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 5:00 basis, like a lot of healthcare service providers, but at ATI, you can be seen in the evening, and you can be seen on the weekends.
   And again, we believe our superior reputation management between our Google star ratings, our CareWire ratings, and NPS are extremely important to the consumer.
   The third bucket that’s exciting is the direct-to-employer opportunity. And this is something that is very new for the industry, and fairly new to ATI. But this is aimed at helping self-insured employers decrease that MSK spend by encouraging patients to use PT first.
   So if you remember that big red bucket that we talked about, the $300 to $400 billion; and shifting that customer to the outpatient retail model. And this is something that we’ve embarked on that we do not believe anyone else in the industry is currently doing. And if I can take us to slide 19, I will spend a few minutes here detailing what that means.
   We call this program ATI FIRST. It is a direct-to-employer self-insured opportunity. Value-based arrangements like ATI FIRST are a significant opportunity for us. And we think risk bearing entities like payers and self-insured employers are looking for these exact programs across all segments of care delivery.
   As I mentioned, we think no one in the PT industry is capable of taking such risks because no one else is structured or positioned to execute in any substantive way against this opportunity. We believe we are the only organization that has the platform and tools to make this work. We have a national presence with local density and a De Novo capability to add where warranted.

   Second, we’re a wholly owned network model with an ownership structure that doesn’t create in-market competitive dynamics. And by that, I mean, because we’re wholly owned, our clinics are all under one name, one brand, and our locations don’t compete with each other. We have a unified national brand that reduces confusion and friction for employees and for program participants, and we have a common EMR.
   If I can focus your attention to the middle of the page, we have demonstrated saving through this case study, and an example of an organization that we partnered with in the Midwest to deliver the right access for the right care at the right time. We saved this organization an estimated $9.4 million in one year.
   And you see the breakdown, that was an 8% decrease in MRI spend, over a million dollars; a 68% decrease in surgical and injection spend; and almost a 30% reduction in total cost of physical therapy claims. This is a significant value to ATI and I believe represents a very significant opportunity in the industry. It’s something that I’m extremely excited about.
   Let’s go to slide 20, I just want to touch on a few other opportunities that are helping us and will continue to help us drive same store clinic growth. On the left-hand side, we’ve embarked on something that we’re calling Xperience ATI. And this is basically the digitalization process of the front end.
   I think all of you have experienced going to a healthcare service provider, whether it’s your primary care physician, your dentist, your optometrist, and you’ve been a patient for the last two years. But when you walk into that visit, they act like they’ve never seen you before. And so, what we’re doing is we’re digitalizing that process to create a seamless and customer friendly experience.
   So when you walk in, all of that has been taken out of the way, performed on your phone, performed on a device. And when you walk in, you’re there to see a clinician, giving you more time with a professional, and giving them more time to practice at the top of their license.
   Earlier I referenced our telehealth ATI Connect offering. This is something that we’re very excited about. Again, to be clear, this doesn’t replace the importance of being seen in the clinic but it gives us the ability to deploy in regions without a physical location, but where we have a statewide payer contract.
   And the state of Texas is a perfect example of that. We operate today with clinics in Dallas, San Antonio, and in Austin but not in Houston. Yet we are seeing patients through our ATI Connect and telehealth offering in the city of Houston.

   From a new channel’s perspective, we have demonstrated benefits to other medical specialties. So we’re working with oncologists, and working with limb loss organizations to be the provider of choice for therapy. And again, this is the expansion of our offering inside of an ATI clinic. That way, we are comprehensive and keeping that patient inside for all of their needs.
   And then, the last thing I’ll focus your attention on is the very right-hand side of the slide, the physical healthcare 2.0 partnerships. I am very excited about partnering with retail and payer organizations. These retailers have built out these healthcare hubs where they’re bringing in primary care, imaging, dentistry and optical.
   And we feel like there’s a significant opportunity for us to integrate and be a part of those healthcare hubs.
   With that, let me turn it over to my partner, Joe, to walk you through a few things, but in particular, De Novo and M&A.
Joseph Jordan:    Thanks, Labeed. Labeed introduced the three core pillars of growth for ATI; and provided detail surrounding the many ways we drive same clinic growth.
   The second core pillar, which I’ll cover is the De Novo program.De Novos have been an important pillar of growth throughout ATI’s history. It is certainly something that has separated us from our peers and I believe provides us with a competitive advantage as we move forward.
   On slide 21, we show a snapshot of our De Novo history since 2016. Over that period of time, we have successfully launched approximately 300 De Novos. Those De Novos have demonstrated consistent and predictable growth with compelling unit economics which demonstrates ATI’s proven track record of driving growth and value creation through De Novos. Our track record is part of what provides us confidence in the future, as we seek to continue to drive growth through this core pillar.
   As we turn to slide 22, I will go a click deeper into the economics of our De Novos. The graphs at the bottom of slide 22 illustrate the De Novo ramp curve by cohort, and demonstrate the high level of consistency and predictability across cohorts that I previously mentioned.
   Additionally, with implied multiples of approximately two times, we think that De Novos are an extremely attractive use of capital that drives value creation to our shareholders. It is why De Novos have been such an important part of our growth, historically, and why we believe De Novos will continue to be an important part of our growth in the future.

   Turning to slide 23, I will discuss our process for identifying De Novo sites. At its core, our process is deeply rooted in analytics and involves a cross functional connection. We utilize our operators, who get feet on the ground, touching, and feeling the proposed sites. We also involve HR, from a human capital perspective, sales and marketing from a go to market strategy, finance, and of course, our De Novo team.
   We’ve built up proprietary tools over time, and we’ve integrated several data sets into our process. Those data sets are represented by the bubbles on the left-hand side of slide 23. We use the data we have and the tools that we’ve built to inform our market prioritization at the macro level. What markets do we want to go into? And from there, we hone in at the micro level to get down to site selection. And when we get to the micro level, we’re ultimately looking at one by one square mile geocodes.
   We are considering data related to population density, demographics, PT utilization in the area... Where is the competition and what gaps exists in the geocode?
   As we hone in on the specific site, we get all the way down to the traffic patterns on the roads that we’re considering putting a De Novo. All of that is to say that our process is extremely granular and analytically driven, and enhanced by the strong cross functional connection we have built.
   Our process is why we’ve been so successful in the past, and provides us confidence in our continued success in the future as we open more De Novos.
   Turning to slide 24, we’ve utilized the tools in the process I just discussed, to identify the whitespace in front of us. And using those tools, we’ve identified nearly ten years of whitespace and approximately 930 future clinics in existing regions and new regions within current states. This does not contemplate our entry into new states.
   We have a tremendous amount of whitespace in front of us to continue to drive growth. De Novos are part of our DNA at this point. We are actively sourcing De Novos each and every day. For 2021, we have approximately 120 De Novos sourced, our current business plan contemplates opening 75 clinics this year.
   Overall, as I reflect on De Novos, the significant whitespace opportunity in front of us and our demonstrated track record of success gives us as a team a great deal of confidence in continuing to drive future growth through the De Novo process.

   Let’s turn to slide 25, and I’ll talk about the third pillar of growth, M&A, which has been and continues to be an important pillar of growth for ATI. As you can see on the left-hand side of slide 25, the PT industry remains highly fragmented.
   There are a number of local and regional operators, as well as middle market PE backed companies; and of course, our public competitor USPH, ATI, and then Select Medical which isn’t a pure play PT provider, but does have outpatient PT. Overall, the market dynamics provide significant opportunity to acquire middle market businesses, as well as local and regional players.
   The platform that we’ve built at ATI, the footprint we have nationally, and the brand name – as Labeed mentioned, we’re the largest single branded PT provider in the country – makes us an acquirer of choice, and it provides us an advantage when it comes to M&A.
   Throughout our history, ATI has leveraged M&A significantly to build up our platform, about half of our clinics have come through M&A with the other half coming from De Novos. Over the past few years, we focused on building up our infrastructure so that we can scale even more efficiently as we continue to execute upon growth in the future.
   At the same time, we also built up our M&A team, and that team is having ongoing discussions with numerous targets in our pipeline.
   With the platform we have built, and the experienced team we have in place, ATI will be able to take on M&A and grow very efficiently. While M&A is not something that we’ve built into our models, coming out of this transaction, we expect to have a conservative capital structure in place that provides us with the flexibility to execute upon M&A opportunities, and further accelerate growth.
   Next, let’s turn to the financial summary, and move to slide 27. Slide 27 outlines our growth since 2017, and projects out through 2022. Overall, as I’ve mentioned, we spent 2018 and 2019 investing in, and building up our scalable infrastructure. Over that period of time, our focus was on organic growth, which meant driving same store, and De Novo growth.
   As you can see on the charts, we were able to successfully grow the top line organically, and at the same time, expand our margins because of the investments that we had made in our infrastructure. We continued our momentum in early 2020, driving further growth in the business.
   When COVID hit, COVID certainly created a disruption in our business. There was a slowdown in elective surgeries, less overall activity, sports were canceled, people weren’t going to gyms. Of course, there was an impact to PT, and our volumes significantly declined.

   Our volumes have been steadily climbing back towards normal throughout 2020. We are not back to normal yet. We expect to see our volumes return to normal in 2021, and a timely rollout of COVID 19 vaccinations will be a big driver. As we exit 2021 and move to 2022, we are excited about continuing the momentum we had pre-COVID, and taking advantage of our scalable support platform as we continue to grow.
   Turning to slide 28, this slide provides a bridge to 2022. Ultimately, we get from 2019, the last year of normal operations pre-COVID to 2022, $175 million of Adjusted EBITDA, by leveraging the three pillars of growth that Labeed and I previously discussed.
   We expect continued same store growth to be driven through targeted marketing, operational efficiencies, and driving team-based care. And in addition to that, there will be a short-term benefit from the ramp of 2018 and 2019 De Novos that did not have the opportunity to mature because of COVID.
   Additionally, as I already covered, we expect to see continued growth from new De Novos.
   Additionally, not built into this model but a very real opportunity for us is M&A. I will skip over slide 29, as it provides simply a summary of the historical and projected financials, and turn to the last section, transaction overview, and move to slide 31.
   Slide 31 lays out transaction details.
   There are a few things that I’d like to highlight on this slide. We valued ATI at a 14 times multiple, which is an attractive multiple when compared to our public competitors; and at 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $175 million, results in an enterprise value of approximately $2.5 billion. Through the transaction we are raising cash from the SPAC of $345 million, and a PIPE investment of $300 million. Our existing preferred holders are also rolling a significant portion of their equity into common stock given the attractive valuation.
   We are utilizing the capital raised from the transaction primarily to de-lever our balance sheet. As Drew mentioned earlier, we are not taking cash out of the business, but ultimately driving down our overall debt load. Our pro forma total debt coming out of the transaction will be $470 million which results in a 2021 net leverage ratio of 3.1 times.
   And as we return to normal in 2022, we expect to naturally de-lever to 2.1 times. The conservative capital structure coming out of the de-SPAC, is designed to provide us with flexibility, and an opportunity to further accelerate growth.

   The bottom right-hand side of the chart simply lays out the pro forma ownership. The one thing that I would hit on here, which Drew touched on earlier is the deferral of founder shares, which points to the confidence that Fortress has in ATI’s ability to grow and continue to create value as a public company.
   So with that, I’ll turn it back over to Drew to talk through the last few slides.
Drew McKnight:    Thanks, Joe, moving onto slide 32. When we look at the public companies, we see a clear comp in USPH and we believe we see ATI at a clear discount to USPH. Ultimately, we believe we will earn a premium multiple, but we know and the management team knows, we need to earn that. We also see ATI being contributed by Advent at a clear discount to other applicable comps that are higher growth, higher value.
   When you look at EV to 2022 EBITDA of 14 times, you look at the growth rate of mid-single digits on revenue, low to mid-teens, EBITDA growth, and almost 20% EBITDA margins, we think ATI stands out.
   Furthermore, as Joe walked through, some of the embedded De Novo EBITDA growth that’s not in these numbers gives further upside. Layer on the M&A opportunities, and we think this sets up for a fantastic opportunity moving out of COVID and into the next one, two, and three years.
   Moving onto slide 33, we touched on this alignment, but we don’t think this can be stressed enough. It was important to us when we first began talking with both ATI and with Advent that we figured out this alignment. We didn’t want the sponsor promote shares to get in the way from us merging with the business that we wanted to.
   We feel our willingness to defer our promote aligns us with the public shareholders and investors. Furthermore, we think Advent contributing the asset at what we believe is a healthy discount to public comps further sets this up for success.
   The incentive shares align us both in participating in the incremental upside with the PIPE and equity investors. With that, I’ll pass it back to Labeed to conclude the call.
Labeed Diab:    Thanks, Drew. Thanks, Joe, and thanks for taking the time to listen to our story. Again, I couldn’t be more excited about the journey that we’re taking our company on from being a privately held company to a publicly traded company. And if there are any questions or any dialog that we can clarify for you, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks and have a great day.

Exhibit 99.4

Dear Customer/Referral Source,

On February 22, 2021, ATI and Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company, announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will operate as ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. and plans to trade on the NYSE.

This is a major milestone in our growth as a leading healthcare organization. As a public company, we will have greater visibility and resources to extend our service offerings into a health-related treatment of musculoskeletal-related issues. While this is an important event for the future of our company, you will see little change in our day-to-day operations.

We remain committed to working closely with you to continue to deliver exceptional outcomes to our patients, while continuing to streamline operating processes as well as deepen our relationship.

We are excited about this new chapter in the story of ATI’s growth, which will benefit our company, our referral sources and the patients we serve across the U.S.

Thank you for being part of that story. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at XXXXX.

Exhibit 99.5

Dear Vendor,

On February 22, 2021, ATI and Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company, announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will operate as ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. and plans to trade on the NYSE.

This is a major milestone in our growth as being a leading healthcare organization. As a public company, we will have greater visibility and resources to extend our service offerings into health-related treatment of musculoskeletal-related issues. While this is an important event for the future of our company, you can expect to see little change in our day-to-day operations.

We remain committed to working with our vendors to develop and implement solutions that continue to strengthen the services we provide patients, streamline processes with our referral sources and patients, and maintain our leadership position in delivering exceptional customer service offerings.    

Throughout our growth, the relationships we have cultivated and the trust we have built with our vendors has been critical to our success. We are grateful for your continued support and look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in this new chapter of ATI’s story.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at XXXXX.
