Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto is a press release, dated May 19, 2020 (the “Press Release”), issued by the Company announcing that the stockholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, and announcing estimated redemption figures. In connection with the Extension, stockholders elected to redeem 23,182,481 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “public shares”). As a result, an aggregate of approximately $242,423,339 (or $10.45717840 per share) will be removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such stockholders. Following such redemptions, 6,122,699 public shares will remain issued and outstanding.

As was previously indicated in a press release issued on May 8, 2020 and a related proxy statement supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2020, because the Extension Amendment was approved, the Company will make a cash contribution (“Contribution”) to the trust account in an amount equal to $0.02 for each public share that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment for each month of the Extension (or approximately $122,400.00 per month after giving effect to redemptions). The Contribution will not accrue interest and the aggregate amount of the Contribution will be calculated and paid in full at the closing from the proceeds of the business combination.
The information in this Item 7.01 incorporated by reference hereto are being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It
In connection with the business combination contemplated by the Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement (the “Business Combination”), Legacy filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Business Combination Proxy”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2020. In connection with the solicitation of the registered holders of Legacy’s public warrants to consent to proposed amendments to Legacy’s Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Amendments”), Legacy filed a definitive consent solicitation statement on Schedule 14A (the “Warrant Consent Solicitation”) with the SEC on May 15, 2020. Legacy’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Business Combination Proxy, as well as the Warrant Consent Solicitation and the Extension Proxy and the amendments thereto and other relevant materials to be filed, respectively, in connection with the Business Combination and the Warrant Amendments with the SEC, including documents incorporated by reference therein, as these materials contain important information with respect to the Business Combination and the Warrant Amendments. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials for the Business Combination were mailed to stockholders of Legacy as of March 20, 2020 and April 6, 2020, respectively. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials for the Warrant Amendments were mailed to warrant holders of Legacy as of March 20, 2020. Warrant holders and stockholders are also able to obtain copies of the Business Combination Proxy, the Warrant Consent Solicitation and the Extension Proxy, as well as other documents filed with the SEC incorporated by reference therein, without charge, at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Legacy Acquisition Corp., 1308 Race Street, Suite 200, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, Attention: Secretary, (513) 618-7161.
Participants in the Solicitation
Legacy and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from Legacy’s stockholders with respect to the Business Combination and consents from Legacy’s warrant holders with respect to the Warrant Amendments. A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in Legacy is contained in the Definitive Business Combination Proxy filed with the SEC, the Warrant Consent Solicitation and the Extension Proxy and in Legacy’s proxy statement for its 2019 Annual Meeting that was filed with the SEC on November 22, 2019 and are available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Legacy Acquisition Corp., 1308 Race Street, Suite 200, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, Attention: Secretary, (513) 618-7161.

A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the Business Combination will be included in Legacy’s definitive proxy statement that will be filed with respect to the Business Combination.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “propose,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “positioned,” “goal,” “conditional” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the expected redemptions of public shares, the expected Contributions and their timing of payment in respect of the public shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment and the anticipated redemption price of our public shares if the Company takes the full time through November 20, 2020 to complete an initial business combination.
2
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Legacy and other transaction parties following the announcement of the Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Legacy or other conditions to closing in the Share Exchange Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; (5) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the proposed Business Combination; (6) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (7) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the aggregate number of Legacy shares requested to be redeemed by Legacy’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination; (10) the ability of the Blue Impact business to ameliorate or otherwise mitigate its existing material weaknesses and any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or significant deficiencies that may be identified in the future; (11) the inability to obtain stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and to implement the Extension; (12) the uncertainties regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Blue Impact business and the completion of the Business Combination; and (13) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement relating to the proposed Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, the Extension Amendment and the Extension and in Legacy’s other filings with the SEC. Legacy cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Legacy cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Legacy does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “propose,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “positioned,” “goal,” “conditional” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the expected redemptions of public shares, the expected Contributions and their timing of payment in respect of the public shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment and the anticipated redemption price of our public shares if Legacy takes the full time through November 20, 2020 to complete an initial business combination.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Legacy and other transaction parties following the announcement of the Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Legacy or other conditions to closing in the Share Exchange Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; (5) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the proposed Business Combination; (6) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (7) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the aggregate number of Legacy shares requested to be redeemed by Legacy’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination; (10) the ability of the Blue Impact business to ameliorate or otherwise mitigate its existing material weaknesses and any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or significant deficiencies that may be identified in the future; (11) the inability to obtain stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and to implement the Extension; (12) the uncertainties regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Blue Impact business and the completion of the Business Combination; and (13) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement relating to the proposed Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, the Extension Amendment and the Extension and in Legacy’s other filings with the SEC. Legacy cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Legacy cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Legacy does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
