On February 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Alta Equipment Group Inc. (formerly known as B.

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”  

 

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Merger Sub merged with and into Alta, with Alta surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name from “B.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will have certain obligations to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), all or any portion of the shares of common stock that the Holders received pursuant to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). The Company is required to, within 45 days after consummation of the Business Combination, file a registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities. Additionally, the Holders may demand an unlimited number of underwritten offerings for all or part of the Registrable Securities. Holders of the Registrable Securities will also have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The Registration Rights Agreement will not contemplate the payment of penalties or liquidated damages as a result of a failure to register, or delays with respect to the registration of, the Registrable Securities.

In addition, the Third Amended and Restated Charter provides that the Company’s directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Company for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors. The Company intends to enter into agreements with its officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Third Amended and Restated Charter. The Amended and Restated Bylaws (as defined below) also permit the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. The Company may purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures the Company against its obligations to indemnify its officers and directors.

(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm

 

On February 14, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the dismissal of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The reports of Marcum on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the two most recent audited fiscal years (ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017) did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the Company’s two most recent audited fiscal years (ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017) and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2019, there were no disagreements between the Company and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.

 

During the Company’s two most recent audited fiscal years (ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017) and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2019, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).

 

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated February 14, 2020, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Immediately following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Alta’s independent registered public accounting firm, UHY LLP, will become the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Securities Purchase Agreement”) is entered into on February 12, 2020, by and among B. Riley Principal Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BRPM”), BRC Partners Opportunity Fund, LP (“BRCPOF”) and [__________] (the “Purchaser”).

 

WHEREAS, on December 12, 2019, BRPM entered into an agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) for a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Alta Equipment Holdings, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Target”);

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Business Combination, on December 12, 2019, BRCPOF subscribed for the purchase from BRPM, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, 685,000 shares of BRPM’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase from BRCPOF, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Securities Purchase Agreement, [_____] of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased by BRCPOF in the Private Placement (the “Purchased Shares”), and BRCPOF desires to sell to the Purchaser the Purchased Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price”), or an aggregate purchase price of $[__________] (the “Purchase Price”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase.

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, and BRCPOF hereby agrees to sell, transfer and assign to the Purchaser, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Purchased Shares (such purchase, the “Purchase”).

 

(b) Concurrently with the Purchase, BRCPOF shall transfer and assign an additional [_____] shares of Common Stock (the “Incentive Shares”) to the Purchaser.

 

(c) Concurrently with the Purchase, BRCPOF shall transfer and assign [_____] warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Incentive Warrants”) to the Purchaser. Each Incentive Warrant shall be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share and shall have identical terms to the warrants included as part of BRPM’s units issued in BRPM’s initial public offering (the “IPO”).

 

2. Closing.

(d) The execution and delivery of this Securities Purchase Agreement, the issuance of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and the compliance by BRPM with all of the provisions of this Securities Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of BRPM pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which BRPM is a party or by which BRPM is bound or to which any of the property or assets of BRPM is subject, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of BRPM, taken as a whole, or the ability of BRPM to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants (a “BRPM Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) the organizational documents of BRPM; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over BRPM or any of its properties that would have a BRPM Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Securities Purchase Agreement, the purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and the compliance by the Purchaser with all of the provisions of this Securities Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute 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 Purchaser pursuant to the terms of, (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Purchaser; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants (a “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect”).

 

(d) The Purchaser (i) is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Purchaser is subscribing for the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a qualified institutional buyer and the Purchaser has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and has provided BRPM with the requested information on Schedule A following the signature page hereto). The Purchaser is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants.

 

(e) The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Purchaser absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to BRPM or a subsidiary thereof, or (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each of cases (i) and (ii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or book-entry position representing the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants shall contain a legend to such effect.

The Purchaser acknowledges that certain information provided by BRPM was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections.

 

(g) In making its decision to purchase the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, the Purchaser has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has not relied on any statements or other information provided by BRPM or BRCPOF (other than as set forth herein) or any Placement Agent concerning BRPM, BRCPOF, the Business Combination or the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser has received such information as the Purchaser deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, including with respect to BRPM, BRCPOF, the Business Combination and the Target. The Purchaser represents and agrees that the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants.

 

(h) The Purchaser became aware of this purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants solely by means of direct contact between the Purchaser, BRCPOF and BRPM or by means of contact from the Placement Agents, and the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants were offered to the Purchaser solely by direct contact between the Purchaser, BRCPOF and BRPM or by contact between the Purchaser and the Placement Agents. The Purchaser did not become aware of this offering of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, nor were the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants offered to the Purchaser, by any other means.

(i) The Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants. The Purchaser 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 Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, and the Purchaser has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

(j) The Purchaser has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and determined that the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants are a suitable investment for the Purchaser and that the Purchaser is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Purchaser’s investment in BRPM. The Purchaser acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

 

(k) The Purchaser understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

(m) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the book-entry position representing the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants (or each certificate representing such securities if subsequently requested and obtained by the Purchaser) will bear or reflect, as applicable, a legend substantially similar to the following:

 

“THIS SECURITY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF BRPM THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) PURSUANT TO ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (II) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) TO BRPM, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (III) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL NOTIFY ANY SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. BRPM MAY REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATIONS AND/OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION IT REASONABLY REQUIRES TO CONFIRM THE SECURITIES ACT EXEMPTION FOR SUCH TRANSACTION.”

(n) The Purchaser’s acquisition and holding of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

 

(o) If the Purchaser is not a U.S. person as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act or a United States person as defined in the Code, the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants or any use of this Securities Purchase Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants. The Purchaser’s payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

 

(p) The Purchaser is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. 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 Purchaser agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Purchaser is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Purchaser 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 Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, the Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. The Purchaser also represents that, to the extent required, the Purchaser maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Purchaser and used to purchase the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants were legally derived.

 

(q) The Purchaser acknowledges that in connection with the offer and sale of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants, (i) no disclosure or offering document has been delivered to the Purchaser by any Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates and (ii) no Placement Agent has acted as the Purchaser’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

 

10

 

 

(r) Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 7 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Purchaser nor any person acting on behalf of the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s affiliates (the “Purchaser Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Purchaser and this offering, and the Purchaser Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by BRPM in Section 5 of this Agreement and by BRCPOF in Section 6 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the Purchaser specifically disclaims that it, or anyone on its behalf, is relying upon any representations or warranties that may have been made by BRPM, BRCPOF or any person acting on behalf of BRPM, BRCPOF or any of their respective affiliates.

 

8. Registration Rights. BRPM agrees that, within fifteen (15) business days after the consummation of the Business Combination, BRPM will file with the SEC (at BRPM’s sole cost and expense) the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Covered Securities, and BRPM shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. BRPM agrees that it will cause such registration statement or another shelf registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Purchased Shares, Incentive Shares and Incentive Warrants and (ii) the first date on which the Purchaser can sell all of the Covered Securities (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold. BRPM may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if BRPM delivers to the holders of the Purchased Shares a certificate signed by an officer of BRPM certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of BRPM, such registration and the offering pursuant thereto would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing or transaction of BRPM or would require disclosure of information that has not been disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would materially adversely affect BRPM. Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The holders receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential. BRPM’s obligations to include the Covered Securities (or shares issued in exchange therefor) in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Purchaser’s timely furnishing in writing to BRPM such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of BRPM held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Covered Securities as shall be reasonably requested by BRPM to effect the registration of the Covered Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as BRPM may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

 

9. Termination. This Securities Purchase Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Securities Purchase Agreement; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such breach. BRPM shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination thereof.

(b) The Purchaser hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any short sales or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind with respect to securities of BRPM during the period of the date of this Securities Purchase Agreement through the closing of the Business Combination.

Our strengthened capital structure will further support organic growth as well as the robust opportunities in our acquisition pipeline. We are grateful to Dan Shribman, Bryant Riley and the entire B.

Our ability to bring Alta to market in a short period of time speaks to this and to the collective efforts and expertise of our team.

Introduction

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of the Company present the combination of the financial information of the Company, Alta, Northland Industrial Truck Co. (“NITCO”), Liftech Equipment Companies, Inc. (“Liftech”) and FlaglerCE Holdings, LLC (“Flagler”), adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination, the equity financing provided by the forward purchase agreement, the subscription agreements with the PIPE investors and the backstop agreement (collectively, the “equity financing”), and the debt financing (as defined below). The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

 

In connection with the Business Combination and as a condition under the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into credit agreements on February 3, 2020, which are effective upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “debt financing”), for the purpose of financing the repayment of Alta’s existing net debt, a portion of the consideration payable under the Merger Agreement, costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with the Business Combination and general corporate expenditures. The credit facilities are comprised of a second lien note purchase agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $155 million and an asset based loan revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, with $115 million drawn on upon consummation of the Business Combination.

 

(1) At closing aggregate consideration was $403 million and existing gross debt pay off of $284 million.

 

 

 

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 assumes that the Business Combination, equity financing and debt financing occurred on September 30, 2019. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination, equity financing and debt financing as if they had been completed on January 1, 2018.

 

In addition, the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 gives pro forma effect to the acquisition by Alta of NITCO that closed on May 1, 2019 as if it had been completed on January 1, 2018.

 

Further, the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 gives pro forma effect to the acquisitions by Alta of Liftech and Flagler that closed on February 14, 2020 as if such acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2018, while the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 gives pro forma effect to such acquisitions as if they had been completed on September 30, 2019.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what the Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

 

This information has been developed from and should be read together with Alta’s, NITCO’s, Liftech’s and Flagler’s audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference, the sections of the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2020 titled “Alta’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” incorporated by reference, and other financial information incorporated by reference. The financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and for the year ended December 31, 2018 was derived from the unaudited and audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2020. The information related to the Company should be read together with the section of the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2020 titled “BRPM’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

The Business Combination is accounted for under the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Alta has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

Ryan Greenawalt, the sole owner and CEO of Alta, is expected to have the largest minority interest of the combined company,

 

Ryan Greenawalt will serve as a member of the board of directors of the combined company, together with two individuals designated by him,

 

Alta’s senior management will comprise the senior management of the combined company,

 

The relative size of Alta compared to the Company; and

 

Alta’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company.

 

ASC 805 provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a transaction effected through an exchange of equity interests, all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered, including: the relative voting rights of the stockholders of the constituent companies in the combined company; the existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity (if no other owner or organized group of owners has a significant voting interest); the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company; the relative size of each company; and the terms of the exchange of equity securities in the transaction, including payments of any premium. The preponderance of the evidence discussed above supports the conclusion that Alta is the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination. Under this method of accounting, the Company will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Alta issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

(i) $135.1 million of proceeds from the Company’s IPO on deposit in the trust account (plus any interest income accrued thereon since the IPO), net of any redemption of shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination;

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — Description of the Business Combination

 

Basis of presentation

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Business Combination and certain other adjustments.

 

The Company’s historical results reflect the audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and unaudited condensed statement of operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 under GAAP. Alta’s historical results reflect their audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and unaudited condensed statement of operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 under GAAP. NITCO’s historical results reflect the audited consolidated statement of income for the year ended October 31, 2018 and unaudited condensed statement of income for the 4-months ended February 28, 2019. As the acquisition with NITCO closed on May 1, 2019, Alta’s September 30, 2019 statement of operations includes the operations of NITCO for the 5-months ended September 30, 2019. Therefore, in order to provide a full nine-months of operations, the four months ended February 28, 2019 has been included. As NITCO has a different fiscal year end (October 31st), the period from March 1, 2019 through April 30, 2019 is excluded from the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. An unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet is not reflected in the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as the transaction with Alta closed on May 1, 2019 and is therefore reflected in Alta’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019.

 

On February 14, 2020, Alta acquired both Liftech and Flagler. The historical results of both companies reflect their audited consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2018, unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Description of the Business Combination

 

As previously mentioned, Alta Equipment Group Inc. (formerly known as B. Riley Principal Merger Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated its previously announced acquisition of Alta Equipment Holdings, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Alta”), on February 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 12, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, BR Canyon Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Alta and Ryan Greenawalt. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”  

 

Under applicable accounting standards, Alta will be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, which will be treated as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, the accounting for the transaction is similar to that of a capital infusion to Alta. Net assets of the Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.

 

The following table sets forth the net assets of the Company as of September 30, 2019 (in thousands):

 

Cash   $ 983  
Prepaid expenses and other current  assets     149  
Cash held in Trust Account     145,402

The proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase units were used as part of the consideration to the holders in the Business Combination, to pay expenses in connection with the Business Combination and for working capital in the post- business combination company.

Note that the Company will have ample liquidity on its ABL facility to meet the operating cash requirements of the business (total borrowing capacity remaining of $185 million). At closing, total excess cash was $22.2 million.

 

Basis of the Pro Forma Presentation

 

As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will adopt Alta’s accounting policies. Similarly, Flagler and Liftech will adopt Alta’s accounting policies. Alta may identify differences between the accounting policies of the companies, that when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity.

(f) Pro-forma statement of operations adjustments of Alta

 

(1) Reflects adjustments made to eliminate non-recurring transaction costs previously recognized in the historical financial statements related to acquisitions and transactions completed prior to the Business Combination between the Company and Alta.

 

(2) Reflects an adjustment to amortization expense resulting from the increase in debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s May 1, 2019 increase in borrowing capacity to partially finance the acquisition of NITCO. The amortization expense above reflects four months of amortization expense as the Statement of Operations already includes the amortization expense recorded for the period May 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019.

 

(3) Reflects an adjustment to interest expense resulting from the interest on the increased borrowing capacities of debt to partially finance the acquisition of NITCO. The additional interest expense of $979K recognized above reflects four months of interest expense as the Statement of Operations already includes interest expense recorded for the period May 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019. As this is variable rate debt with interest rates of LIBOR + an applicable margin, a 1/8 change in the interest rate would result in a $122K change of interest expense being recognized.

(g) Pro-forma statement of operations adjustments of NITCO (November 1, 2018 – February 28, 2019)

 

The NITCO transaction closed on May 1, 2019. Therefore, NITCO’s results of operations from May 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 are included in Alta’s Statement of Operations for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019. Due to NITCO’s fiscal year-end of October 31, 2018, the period from March 1, 2019 to April 30, 2019 is excluded from the pro forma statement of operations results. NITCO’s total revenue for this period was $22.8 million. The below represents the pro forma statement of operations adjustments for NITCO for the four months ended February 28, 2019.

(2) Reflects adjustments for rental income and costs associated with real estate property that was not acquired as a part of the Alta transaction. Additionally, these pro-forma adjustments are related to the premiums paid for a life insurance policy and interest expense on a loan to a stockholder neither of which were acquired as part of the transaction; as well as the inclusion of rent expense for the lease of the Northland facility from the previous owners that was entered into upon consummation of the transaction. As such, the historical financials are adjusted for the related impact.

 

(3) Reflects an adjustment to interest expense resulting from the interest on the new debt to partially finance the acquisition of NITCO. The adjustment was calculated by adding the $281K additional interest expense that would be recognized on the new debt, less the $542K of interest expense associated with the debt that was paid down as part of the refinance, for a net total $261K reduction in interest expense. As this is variable rate debt with an interest rate of LIBOR + an applicable margin, a 1/8 change in the interest rate would result in a change of $35K of interest expense being recognized.

 

(4) Reflects the amortization expense recorded for the intangible assets that were identified as part of the preliminary purchase price allocation. This adjustment reflects four months of amortization expense, as the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 20, 2019 already includes amortization expense from the acquisition date of May 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019.

(b) Pro-forma statement of operations adjustments of Alta

 

(1) Reflects adjustments made to eliminate non-recurring transaction costs previously recognized in the historical financial statements related to acquisitions and transactions completed prior to the Business Combination between the Company and Alta.

 

(2) Reflects an adjustment to amortization expense resulting from the increase in debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s May 1, 2019 increase in borrowing capacity to partially finance the acquisition of NITCO. The amortization expense above reflects twelve months of amortization expense.

 

(3) Reflects an adjustment to interest expense resulting from the interest on the increased borrowing capacities of debt to partially finance the acquisition of NITCO. The additional interest expense of $2.9 million recognized above reflects twelve months of interest expense on the increased borrowing capacities, as this is variable rate debt with interest rates of LIBOR + an applicable margin, a 1/8 change in the interest rate would result in a change of $408K of interest expense recognized.

(2) Reflects adjustments for rental income and costs associated with real estate property that was not acquired as a part of the Alta transaction. Additionally, these pro-forma adjustments remove the premiums paid for a life insurance policy and interest expense on a loan to a stockholder, neither of which were acquired as part of the transaction; plus, the adjustments reflect the inclusion of rent expense for the lease of the Northland facility from the previous owners that was entered into upon consummation of the transaction. As such, the historical financials are adjusted for the related impact.

 

(3) Reflects the removal of non-recurring legal charges, which were incurred as a direct result of the Alta transaction. As such, the historical financials are adjusted to remove the related impact.

 

(4) Reflects an adjustment to interest expense resulting from the interest on the new debt to finance the acquisition of NITCO. The adjustment was calculated by adding the $844K additional interest expense that would be recognized on the new debt, less the $1.62 million of interest expense associated with the debt that was paid down as part of the refinance. As this is variable rate debt, a 1/8 change in the interest rate would result in a change of $105K of interest expense being recognized.

 

(5) Reflects the amortization expense recorded for the intangible assets that were identified as part of the preliminary purchase price allocation.

Note 5 — Pro Forma Adjustments

 

(a) Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019 (in thousands)

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 are as follows:

 

(1) Private Investment in Public Entity (PIPE) — Represents the issuance, in a private placement of equity, of 3,678,947, 3,500,000 shares of common stock and 178,947 inducement shares.

 

(2) Reflects proceeds from the forward purchase agreement entered into by the Company with the BRPI to provide for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 units at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $25 million. These proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase units were used as part of the consideration to the holders to pay expenses in connection with the Business Combination and will be used for working capital in the post-business combination company, and was intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the Business Combination.

 

(3) Reflects the release of the restricted investments and cash held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination. Approximately $10.3 million was redeemed by shareholders.

(4) Reflects the pay down of the Company’s existing indebtedness as it relates to the revolving line of credit, the syndicate and OEM floor plan facilities, the note payable with the senior lien holder, the term loan with the first lien lender, the subordinated debt, and settlement of the Company’s outstanding warrant liability. These pay downs are off-set by showroom ready and subsidized debt, unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts on the existing debt, as well as original issue discounts and fees on the new term loan entered into as part of the refinance. This is reflected in the table below:

 

Lines of credit and floor plan debt refinance adjustment   Amount  
Total debt paydown of Syndicate floor plan, OEM floor plan facilities and Chase Revolver   $ (198,789 )
         
Proceeds from new revolver facility     115,000  
Off-set by debt issuance costs     (1,667 )
Lines of credit and floor plans adjustment   $ (85,457 )
         
Long-term debt, net of current portion adjustment   Amount  
Debt paydown from senior lien holder, subordinated debt and the first lien lender   $ (77,684 )
         
Less: unamortized debt issuance costs     3,138  
Less: Unamortized debt discount     905  
Net reduction of existing debt   $ (73,640 )
Proceeds from LT portion of new revolver facility     126,818  
Off-set by debt discount and fees on new term loan     (5,638 )
Net proceeds from long-term portion of new revolver facility     121,181  
Net principal long-term portion of new revolver facility, net of current portion adjustment   $ 47,540  
         
Current portion of LT debt adjustment   Amount  
Current portion of debt paydown from senior lien holder, subordinated debt and the first lien lender   $ (8,694 )
Proceeds from new term loan (b)     28,182  
Total current portion of LT debt adjustment   $ 19,488  
         
Warrant liability adjustment   Amount  
Settlement of Warrant liability (a)   $ (29,620 )
Total Cash impact of debt paydown   $ (52,092 )

 

 

a) Represents the fair value for the settlement of warrants issued to a senior lender. The company initially recorded the warrants based on the fair value at the date of grant. The valuation methodology employed was primarily a market-based approach using participants in the industry of industrial and heavy equipment retailing, wholesaling, and rental and consistent with those presented in the letter of intent with the Company. The warrants include a limited call right, where in the event of a sale transaction, the Company has the right to redeem all of the warrants simultaneously at a per common share price equal to the per unit set for the sale transaction. As of September 30, 2019, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants in the proposed transaction with the Company to be $30 million.

 

b) Current portion of LT debt is calculated utilizing the new term loan maturity of 66 months to determine the expected amount due within the next 12 months. Additionally, there is a 5% prepayment penalty on the outstanding balance of the Goldman debt (approximately $3.5M), which is reflected in the pay down of debt.

 

(5) Reflects the payment of the estimated acquisition-related transaction costs (see Note 1 — Use of proceeds). These costs are not included as a component of consideration to be transferred, but are required to be expensed as incurred. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. These costs are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as they are directly related to the Business Combination and will be nonrecurring.

 

26

 

 

(6) Represents the payout and re-investment of the awards associated with the Long-Term Equity Linked Incentive Plan to certain members of Alta’s management and a stock redemption payment to Alta’s stockholder. These awards fully vest upon a qualifying event (i.e. a change in control of the Company), which was recognized upon closing of the Business Combination. The awards are expected to be settled by a 25% cash payout, 25% in restricted stock awards (RSA’s) and 50% in restricted stock units (RSU’s) vesting over a four-year period. The $13 million cash payment will be reflected as an expense to the Company’s operations in the period immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. Additionally, there is expected to be stock based compensation expense recognized over the four-year vesting period of the RSA’s and RSU’s totaling $8.64 million in the Company’s operations post-Business Combination.

 

(7) Reflects the total expected cost associated with the acquisition of Liftech and Flagler.

 

(8) Reflects adjustments made for applicable deferred taxes associated with the Business Combination. The deferred tax liability was calculated using an assumed marginal rate of 26.63%, based on Alta Enterprises, LLC 2018 federal and state filing profile.

 

(b) Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 are as follows:

 

(1) Reflects adjustments made to eliminate non-recurring transaction costs specifically incurred by the Company and Alta as part of the Business Combination as these expenses meet the directly attributable and factually supportable criteria.

 

(2) Reflects the adjustment to interest expense associated with the pay down and refinancing of the Company’s existing indebtedness upon consummation of the Business Combination (see note 4 under 5(a)). The decreased interest expense of $1.6 million reflects nine months of interest expense on the new revolver and term loan less the interest expense associated with the debt paid down (net of showroom ready and subsidized debt), as well as the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts. As the Company drew down $115 million of their $300 million available revolver, total borrowing availability at close was $185 million. The revolver credit agreement states that interest expense is calculated for average quarterly availability greater than $100 million at LIBOR + 175 bps. As there is greater than $100 million of borrowing available, the interest expense was calculated utilizing the LIBOR rate as of January 31, 2020 + 175 bps.

 

The interest expense on the term loan (‘note purchase agreement’) is calculated by: 7% plus CB floating rate or 8% plus the adjusted LIBOR rate (as selected by the Company). The pro forma rate below reflects the 8% plus the adjusted LIBOR rate. Therefore, interest expense on the new term loan was calculated utilizing the January 31, 2020 LIBOR rate + 8%.

 

The interest expense adjustment is reflected in the table below:

 

Interest expense adjustment for nine-months ended September 30, 2019   Amount  
Interest expense on new debt   $ (14,171 )
Less: Interest expense from debt paydown, net of showroom ready and subsidized interest expense     16,043  
Less: amortization of debt discounts on  costs     594  
Less: amortization of debt discount     181  
Amortization of original issue discounts on new loans     (740 )
Amortization of debt issuance costs on new loans     (279 )
Pro forma adjustment to Int. Exp.   $ 1,629  

 

As this is variable rate debt, a 1/8% increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a $1.7 million change in interest expense recognized.

 

(3) Reflects adjustments related to the addition of a tax provision as prior to the Business Combination, Alta was previously a limited liability corporation, which is generally not a tax paying entity for federal or state income tax purposes. The marginal tax rate used was based on the 2018 federal and state filing profile of Alta Enterprises, LLC. The pro forma calculation assumes an effective rate equal to the marginal tax rate.

 

(4) Reflects pro forma net loss per share based on 29,511,359 total shares outstanding upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(c) Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:

 

(1) Reflects adjustments made to eliminate non-recurring transaction costs specifically incurred by the Company and Alta as part of the Business Combination as these expenses meet the directly attributable and factually supportable criteria.

 

(2) Reflects the adjustment to interest expense associated with the pay down and refinancing of the Company’s existing indebtedness upon consummation of the Business Combination (see note 4 under 5(a)). The increased interest expense of $646K reflects twelve months of interest expense on the new revolver and term loan less the interest expense associated with the debt paid down (net of floor plan ready/subsidized debt not paid down), as well as the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts. As the Company drew down $115 million of the $300 million available revolver, total borrowing availability at close was $185 million. The revolver credit agreement states that interest expense is calculated for average quarterly availability greater than $100 million at LIBOR + 175 bps. As there is greater than $100 million of borrowing available, the interest expense was calculated utilizing the LIBOR rate as of January 31, 2020 + 175 bps.

 

The interest expense on the term loan (‘note purchase agreement’) is calculated by: 7% plus CB floating rate or 8% plus the adjusted LIBOR rate (as selected by the Company). The pro forma rate below reflects the 8% plus the adjusted LIBOR rate. Therefore, interest expense on the new term loan was calculated utilizing the January 31, 2020 LIBOR rate + 8%.

 

(3) The interest expense adjustment is reflected in the table below:

 

Interest expense adjustment for the year-ended December 31, 2018   Amount  
Interest expense on new debt   $ (18,895 )
Less: Interest expense from debt paydown, net of showroom ready and subsidized interest expense     18,608  
Less: amortization of debt issuance costs     757  
Less: amortization of debt discount     241  
Amortization of original issue discounts on new loans     (986 )
Amortization of debt issuance costs on new loan     (372 )
Pro forma adjustment to Int. Exp.   $ (646 )

 

As this is variable rate debt, a 1/8% increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a $2.4 million change in interest expense.

 

(4) Reflects adjustments related to the addition of a tax provision as prior to the Business Combination, Alta was previously a limited liability corporation, which is generally not a tax paying entity for federal or state income tax purposes. The marginal tax rate used was based on the 2018 federal and state filing profile of Alta Enterprises, LLC. The pro forma calculation assumes an effective rate equal to the marginal tax rate.

 

(5) Reflects pro forma net loss per share based on 29,511,359 total shares outstanding upon consummation of the Business Combination.
