Ein, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Capitol Acquisition Founder IV LLC, an affiliate of L. Dyson Dryden, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer, and the other directors of the Company (collectively the “Capitol Purchasers”) and (ii) NESCO Holdings, LP (“ECP Purchaser”), an affiliate of Equity Capital Partners, the primary shareholder of NESCO Holdings I, Inc. (“Nesco”), the Company’s merger partner in its proposed initial business combination (“Business Combination”).

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company will, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, sell (i) an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the Capitol Purchasers at $10.00 per share and (ii) 4,500,000 shares of common stock to the ECP Purchaser at $10.00 per share (2,500,000 shares of which shall be subject to receipt by the ECP Purchaser or its affiliates of at least $25 million in full repayment of certain outstanding indebtedness).

The shares will be sold to the Capitol Purchasers and the ECP Purchaser in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), based on the fact that the sale will have been made without any general solicitation or advertising and based on representations from each investor that (a) it was an accredited investor, (b) it was purchasing the shares for its own account investment, and not with a view to distribution, (c) it had been given access to full and complete access to information regarding the Company, and (d) it understood that the shares will not be registered and may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

6.3. Speculative Investment . Investor is aware that the Shares are a speculative investment that involve a high degree of risk and Investor may suffer the total loss of its investment. Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and have obtained, in Investor’s judgment, sufficient information to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.

The book-entry position representing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend relating to such restrictions. In addition, Investor understands that (i) no securities administrator of any state or the federal government has recommended or endorsed the Shares or made any finding or determination relating to the fairness of an investment in the Shares and (ii) the Company is relying on Investor’s representations and agreements for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements of the exemptions afforded by the Securities Act and certain state securities laws.

 

6.5. Investment Representation . Investor is purchasing the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any subsequent distribution of the securities, nor with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Shares in violation of the Federal securities laws. Investor understands that, although there is a public market for the Shares, there is no assurance that such market will continue in the future.

 

6.6. Disqualifying Events . Investor is not subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under Regulation D of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3)

6.8. OFAC; BSA; Patriot Act .

Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the undersigned is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived.

 

7. Trust Fund Waiver . The Investor understands that the Company has established a trust fund, currently in an amount of approximately $402 million, for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and that, except for certain limited distributions of interest earned on the funds held in the trust fund, the Company may disburse monies from the trust fund only (i) to the public shareholders in the event they elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with a business combination, (ii) to the public shareholders upon the liquidation of the Company if the Company fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period or (iii) to the Company after, or concurrently with, the consummation of a business combination. For and in consideration of the Company agreeing to the terms contained in this Subscription Agreement and for other valuable consideration the receipt of which is duly acknowledged, the Investor agrees that, as a result of its execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust fund (“Claim”) and waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement.

Capitol Investment Corp. IV Announces Offering of $475 Million of

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

  

WASHINGTON D.C. and FORT WAYNE, INDIANA, July 22, 2019 – In anticipation of the previously announced proposed business combination (the “proposed business combination”) of Nesco Holdings I, Inc. (“Nesco”) with and into a subsidiary of Capitol Investment Corp. IV (NYSE: CIC; “Capitol”), Capitol Investment Merger Sub 2, LLC, the indirect subsidiary of Capitol (the “Issuer”), announced today that it intends to offer $475 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second lien notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with borrowings under a new asset-based lending facility to be entered into by the Issuer, as well as at least $200 million of cash equity contributions, will be used to fund the proposed business combination-related transactions, to refinance Nesco’s existing indebtedness and to pay related fees and expenses.

 

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws.

 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes 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. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This press release includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Capitol’s or Nesco’s management’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in this press release. All forward-looking statements attributable to Capitol, Nesco or persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination between Capitol and Nesco (the “proposed business combination”), including descriptions of the equity and debt financing transactions (including the Notes offering) contemplated in connection with the consummation of the proposed business combination; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of cash available following redemptions by Capitol stockholders; the ability to meet the NYSE’s listing standards following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination; costs related to the proposed business combination; the inability to enter into or complete the proposed transaction governed by the non-binding letter of intent; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction contemplated by the non-binding letter of intent; Nesco’s ability to execute on its plans to develop and market new products and the timing of these development programs; Nesco’s estimates of the size of the markets for its solutions; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Nesco’s solutions; the success of other competing technologies that may become available; Nesco’s ability to identify and integrate acquisitions; the performance and security of Nesco’s services; potential litigation involving Capitol or Nesco; and general economic and market conditions impacting demand for Nesco’s services. Other factors include the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close, including due to the failure to satisfy certain closing conditions. Neither Capitol nor Nesco undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Nesco Holdings I, Inc. Pre-Releases Selected Preliminary Unaudited Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

 

WASHINGTON D.C. and FORT WAYNE, INDIANA, July 22, 2019 – Capitol Investment Corp. IV (NYSE: CIC; “Capitol”), a public investment vehicle, and Nesco Holdings I, Inc. (“Nesco”), a leading provider of specialty rental equipment to the electric utility, telecom and rail end-markets, today issue this press release pre-releasing selected preliminary unaudited financial results for Nesco’s second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

Second Quarter 2019 Preliminary Unaudited Financial Highlights

 

Revenue estimated between $62.5 and $63.5 million (an increase of approximately 13% from second quarter of 2018 at the midpoint)

 

Adjusted EBITDA estimated between $30.0 and $31.0 million (an increase of approximately 7% from second quarter of 2018 at the midpoint)

 

Reaffirm full year 2019 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook of $270 million and $137 million, respectively (excluding the impact of any potential acquisitions)

 

Review of Second Quarter 2019 Results

 

“We are pleased to deliver strong preliminary results for the second quarter of 2019,” said Lee Jacobson, Nesco’s CEO. “Our second quarter results reflect continued robust growth in demand across all our end markets. In addition to the previously announced opening of two new Parts, Tools and Accessories facilities in April, we began realizing deliveries of new equipment ahead of our growth plan. Our planned acquisition is also progressing well and we expect to complete it soon after our merger with Capitol. We remain committed to achieving our long-term financial goals and executing on our strategic initiatives and look forward to completing our merger with Capitol and entering into the next phase in Nesco’s growth story.”

 

Nesco has not yet finalized its financial statement close process for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. As a result, the information in this press release is preliminary and based upon information available to Nesco as of the date of this press release.

Key Operational and Financial Metrics

 

Non-GAAP Measures: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure that Nesco uses to monitor its results from operations and to measure its performance against its debt covenants. This common metric is intended to align Nesco’s shareholder, debt holders and management.

 

Nesco believes the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of its financial performance because these measures are useful financial metrics to assess its operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that it believes are not representative of its core business. Such items are excluded pursuant to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in Nesco’s credit agreements; Adjusted EBITDA is the basis for several financial covenants therein. These financial measures will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods of Nesco’s ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures. Nesco uses these financial measures for business planning purposes, for loan compliance purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors.

 

In analyzing and planning for its business, Nesco supplements its use of financial measures based on U.S. GAAP with non-GAAP financial and other measures. Nesco’s use of the terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry and therefore are limited in their usefulness as comparative measures. These financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Nesco’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures. Nesco encourages investors to review its non-GAAP financial measures together with its U.S. GAAP results and historical consolidated financial statements, and not in isolation. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way Nesco calculates such measures. Accordingly, Nesco’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

 

Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to exclude the effects of purchase accounting adjustments when calculating the cost of used equipment sold. When equipment is purchased in connection with a business combination, the equipment is revalued to its then current fair value for accounting purposes. The consideration transferred (i.e., the purchase price) in a business combination is allocated to the fair value of equipment as of the acquisition date, with depreciation recorded thereafter following Nesco’s accounting policies; however, this may not be indicative of Nesco’s actual cost to acquire new equipment that Nesco adds to its fleet apart from a business acquisition. Additionally, the pricing of Nesco’s rental contracts and equipment sales prices for Nesco’s equipment is based off of original equipment cost (or, “OEC”), and Nesco measures a rate of return from its rentals and sales using OEC. As indicated above, Nesco’s credit agreements define this adjustment to EBITDA, as such, and Nesco believes this metric is a better indication of its true cost of equipment sales due to the removal of the purchase accounting adjustments.

 

Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA represents net income before interest, income tax (benefit) provision, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as further adjusted for (1) non-cash purchase accounting impact, (2) transaction and process improvement costs, (3) major repairs and (4) share-based payments. These metrics are subject to certain limitations.

Exhibit 99.3

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

 

We are providing the following unaudited pro forma combined financial information relating to the transactions (“Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 7, 2019, as amended, involving Nesco and Capitol.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 give pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2018. This information should be read together with Nesco’s and Capitol’s respective audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes, “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” and other financial information included in Capitol’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus dated June 24, 2019, as supplemented. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the proxy statement/prospectus.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 has been prepared using the following:

 

Nesco’s unaudited historical consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019; and

 

Capitol’s unaudited historical consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 has been prepared using the following:

 

Nesco’s unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019; and

 

Capitol’s unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 has been prepared using the following:

 

Nesco’s audited historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018; and

 

Capitol’s audited historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Description of the Transactions

 

On April 7, 2019, Capitol entered into the Merger Agreement by and among Capitol, Holdings, Merger Sub, Initial Merger Sub, Nesco Owner, and Nesco, which was amended on July 10, 2019, pursuant to which (i) Capitol will domesticate as a Delaware corporation and will be renamed “Nesco Holdings, Inc.”, (ii) Initial Merger Sub will merge with and into Nesco, with Nesco surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol and (iii) immediately after the Initial Merger, Nesco will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Capitol. As a result of the Transactions, Initial Merger Sub, having merged into the Issuer, will effectively become an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Capitol, with Nesco Owner becoming a securityholder of Capitol.

 

In connection with the Domestication the outstanding Class A ordinary shares of Capitol will be automatically converted into shares of common stock of Capitol (which will be renamed “Nesco Holdings, Inc.”) on a one-for-one basis. The outstanding warrants of Capitol will automatically convert into warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Capitol, on a one-for-one basis, beginning 30 days after the consummation of the Transactions. The outstanding Class B ordinary shares of Capitol will automatically convert into common stock of Capitol, on a one-for-one basis, upon consummation of the Transactions. Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Transactions each outstanding share of Nesco’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of (i) 21,660,638 shares of common stock of Capitol, and (ii) warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

 

 

 

Nesco Owner will also have the right to receive: (1) up to 1,800,000 additional shares of Capitol’s common stock, for a period of five years following the closing of the Transactions, in increments of 900,000 shares, if the trading price of Capitol’s common stock exceeds $13.00 per share or $16.00 per share for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period, or upon a change of control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of Capitol if the consideration paid or payable to Capitol’s stockholders equals or exceeds $13.00 per share or $16.00 per share (less any shares previously issued), and (2) an additional 1,651,798 shares of Capitol’s common stock if during the seven-year period following the closing of the Transactions, the trading price of Capitol’s common stock exceeds $19.00 per share for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period or if a sale transaction of the combined company occurs in which the consideration paid per share to holders of common stock exceeds $19.00 per share.

 

In connection with the Transactions, Nesco Owner, the Sponsors  and certain directors of Capitol will purchase 5.5 million shares of Capitol’s common stock at $10.00 per share for a total consideration of $55.0 million.

 

Accounting for the Domestication and Mergers

 

The Domestication is for the sole purpose of changing the legal domicile of Capitol and, as such, neither it, nor the exchange of Capitol securities described above, is expected to have any accounting impact.

 

The Mergers will be accounted for as a reverse merger, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Capitol will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Nesco Owner being expected to have a majority interest of the combined company, Nesco Owner being represented on the Board of Directors of the combined company by up to four members in addition to the CEO of Nesco, Nesco’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company, the relative size of Nesco compared to Capitol, and Nesco’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Transactions will be treated as the equivalent of Nesco issuing stock for the net assets of Capitol. The net assets of Capitol will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Transactions will be those of Nesco.

 

As the issuance of 3,451,798 of additional shares of Capitol’s common stock is contingent on the future performance of the trading price of Capitol’s common stock, they have been classified as an equity arrangement and therefore have not been recorded in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

 

In addition to the merger of Capitol and Nesco, the Transactions involve utilizing the cash on Capitol’s balance sheet and funds from borrowings under the new ABL Facility and the issuance of the notes to redeem Nesco’s existing senior second lien secured notes, repay the Existing Nesco Indebtedness and pay certain fees and expenses. The combined company, post recapitalization, will have lower debt balances and leverage.

 

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Transactions, are factually supportable, and as it relates to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Transactions.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical financial position and results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future financial position and results that the combined company will experience. Nesco and Capitol have not had any historical relationship prior to the Transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

There is no historical activity with respect to Intermediate Holdings, Merger Sub or New HoldCo, and accordingly, no adjustments were required with respect to these entities in the pro forma combined financial statements.

 

2

 

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared after giving effect of the redemption of 26,091,034 Capitol’s ordinary shares at a redemption price of approximately $10.19 per share. Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements are 26,160,638 ordinary shares to be issued to Nesco’s shareholders.

 

As a result of the Transactions and immediately following the closing of the Transactions, Nesco Owner and certain members of current Nesco management will own approximately 53.4% of the Capitol shares to be outstanding immediately after the Transactions and Capitol shareholders will own approximately 46.6% of the Capitol shares, based on the number of Capitol shares outstanding as of March 31, 2019 (in each case, not giving effect to any shares issuable to them upon exercise of warrants).

 

Prior to the consummation of the Transactions, all of Nesco’s outstanding phantom units and all Class B units of Nesco Owner will be cancelled and no consideration will be paid in respect thereof (except for a one-time payment by Nesco Owner to Bruce Heinemann of approximately $0.5 million).

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Combined Balance Sheet

(in thousands, except share data)

 

(A) Derived from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Nesco as of March 31, 2019.

 

(B) Derived from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Capitol as of March 31, 2019.

 

 

(1) Reflects the release of cash from marketable securities held in the trust account.
(2) Reflects the debt financing from entering into the $350.0 million revolving credit facility, the issuance of $475.0 million of notes and the $808.8 million in uses of funds including: (a) the redemption of $525.0 million of the senior secured second lien notes (“Existing Nesco Notes”), the repayment of $215.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility (“Existing Nesco ABL Facility”), and the repayment of $25.0 million outstanding under the Existing Tranche B Revolving Credit Agreement, (b) $22.0 million of debt financing fees and expenses and(c) $21.8 million in deferred underwriting fees and other expenses. The sources of funds in the Transaction are: (a) $145.0 million of cash held in Capitol’s trust account after giving effect to redemptions by Capitol shareholders, (b) $475.0 million from the issuance of senior secured second lien notes in connection with the Transaction, (c) $55.0 million from the issuance of 5.5 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share to Nesco Owner, the Sponsors  and certain directors of Capitol and (d) a draw on the first lien senior secured asset based revolving credit facility with a maturity of five years (“ABL Facility”) for the remaining amount required of $133.8 million. As of June 30, 2019, the borrowings under the Existing Nesco ABL Facility were $243.0, and therefore, the draw under the ABL facility is expected to be $161.8 million.
(3) Reflects the issuance of 5,500,000 shares of common stock to Nesco Owner, the Sponsors  and certain directors of Capitol for $55.0 million or $10.00 per share.
(4) Reflects the repayment of prior existing long-term debt and corresponding amortization of the related remaining deferred financing costs in connection with the Transactions. The amortization of the deferred financing costs is reflected as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and is not shown as an adjustment to the statement of operations since it is a nonrecurring charge resulting directly from the Transactions. With respect to income taxes, this adjustment will change the amount of Nesco’s income tax loss carryforwards; however, the tax effect of this adjustment has not been reflected as the associated deferred tax asset is offset by a valuation allowance.
(5) Reflects the underwriting fees and expenses associated with the debt transactions in footnote 2. These fees and expenses include the ABL Facility underwriting fee, bridge commitment fee related to the commitment letter entered into in connection with the Transactions and notes underwriting fee of $19.0 million. In addition, this adjustment reflects financing transaction related legal and advisory expenses of $3.0 million. This adjustment is not reflected in the statement of operations since it is a nonrecurring charge resulting directly from the Transaction. With respect to income taxes, this adjustment will change the amount of Nesco’s income tax loss carryforwards; however, the tax effect of this adjustment has not been reflected as the associated deferred tax asset is offset by a valuation allowance.
(6) Reflects the payment of fees and expenses related to the Transactions, including the deferred underwriting fee, legal, financial advisory, accounting and other professional fees. The direct, incremental costs of the Transactions related to the legal, financial advisory, accounting and other professional fees of up to approximately $5.2 million are reflected as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and is not shown as an adjustment to the statement of operations since it is a nonrecurring charge resulting directly from the Transactions. With respect to income taxes, this adjustment will change the amount of Nesco’s income tax loss carryforwards; however, the tax effect of this adjustment has not been reflected as the associated deferred tax asset is offset by a valuation allowance.
(7) In connection with the redemption of Capitol shares, approximately $265.8 million would be paid out in cash. The redeemable Capitol shares which are transferred to permanent equity but are not redeemed will automatically convert into common stock in the Transaction.
(8) Reflects the conversion of promissory notes due to related parties into warrants.
(9) Reflects recapitalization of Nesco through (a) the contribution of all the share capital in Nesco to Capitol, (b) the issuance of the merger consideration of 21,660,638 shares of common stock, with an adjustment recorded to par value and additional paid in capital, (c) the issuance of 5,500,000 shares of common stock to Nesco Owner, the Sponsors and certain directors of Capitol and for $55.0 million or $10.00 per share, with an adjustment recorded to par value and additional paid in capital, and (d) the elimination of the historical retained earnings of Capitol, the accounting acquiree.
(10)   Reflects the conversion of 7,714,299 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, on a one-for-one basis, at the consummation of the Transactions, with an adjustment recorded to par value and additional paid in capital. The Class A ordinary shares automatically convert into common stock in the Transactions.

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations
(in thousands, except share data)

 

(A) Derived from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Nesco for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

(B) Derived from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Capitol for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

(C) Derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of Nesco for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

(D) Derived from the audited statement of operations of Capitol for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

 

(1) Represents an adjustment to eliminate direct, incremental costs of the Transactions which are reflected in the historical consolidated financial statements of Nesco and Capitol in the amount of $2,510 and $50, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were no such amounts recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018.
(2) Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest income and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the trust account as of the beginning of the period.
(3) Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest expense on the Existing Nesco ABL Facility, Existing Nesco Tranche B Revolving Credit Facility and Existing Nesco Notes as of the beginning of the period, as these will be repaid upon consummation of the Transactions.
(4) Represents an adjustment to record interest expense on the debt financing from the ABL Facility and the notes offered hereby. Based on an assumed weighted average interest rate of 8.0%. A 0.25% increase (decrease) in the assumed rate would have increased (decreased) interest expense by $1.5 million.
(5) To record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments applied at Nesco’s blended federal and state income tax rate of 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018. Nesco has historically determined that it has not been able to realize its deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis and has recognized a valuation allowance against those assets. The reduction in loss before income taxes from the pro forma adjustments reduces the historical net operating loss recognized and the related valuation allowance on the combined entity’s deferred tax assets, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0%.
(6) The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that Capitol’s initial public offering occurred as of January 1, 2018. In addition, as the Transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Transactions for the entire period.

The following presents the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of warrants to purchase 19,950,000 shares of common stock because the inclusion of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and Year Ended December 31, 2018      
Weighted average shares calculation, basic and diluted        
Capitol Public Shares     14,158,966  
Capitol Sponsor shares     8,714,299  
Capitol shares issued in Transactions     26,160,638

Preliminary Results for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

 

The following includes preliminary financial results of Nesco for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019. Nesco has not finalized its financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and, consequently, you should not place undue reliance on this preliminary information. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, Nesco expects its revenue to be in the range of $62.5 million to $63.5 million, net loss to be between $5.8 million to $4.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be between $30.0 million and $31.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Nesco expects its revenue to be in the range of $124.0 million to $125.0 million, net loss to be between $12.5 million to $11.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA to be between $60.4 million and $61.4 million and Run-Rate Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2019, to be between $130.9 million and $132.1 million.

 

Nesco’s business plan includes investment in new equipment units to grow its fleet and an expansion of its PTA segment by adding locations. In the quarter ended June 30, 2019, Nesco accelerated several of the initiatives included in its business plan for 2019. This included (1) accelerating its equipment purchase program, shifting capital expenditures planned for the second half of 2019 into the second quarter of 2019, providing an opportunity to capture additional revenue and EBITDA from new units being added to the fleet sooner than the base plan called for and (2) accelerating the roll-out of new PTA locations, providing an opportunity to capture additional revenue and EBITDA sooner than in the plan. The investments under Nesco’s business plan and the acceleration of these initiatives resulted in an increase in the borrowings under Nesco’s revolving credit facility (the “Existing Nesco ABL Facility”) from $215.0 million as of March 31, 2019 to $243.0 million as of June 30, 2019.

 

Nesco has prepared an adjustment to Adjusted EBITDA in order to reflect the full-year impact to Adjusted EBITDA of the additional capital expenditures related to equipment added to the fleet during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2019. This adjustment is calculated assuming that the net units added to the fleet in the period had been part of the fleet from the first day of the period. The adjustment is calculated by subtracting the average fleet count for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2019 from the ending fleet count as of June 30, 2019, and multiplying that number by the average rate per day for the period, multiplied by the average utilization for the period, multiplied by 365 days in the period, and applying an 80.0% estimated Adjusted EBITDA margin on that incremental revenue.

 

The following table reconciles (i) Nesco’s estimated net income to its estimate of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, (ii) Nesco’s net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and (iii) Nesco’s estimated net income to its estimate of Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019.
