PROPOSED MERGERS

 

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

 

To the Shareholders of Andina Acquisition Corp. II and Stockholders of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc.:

 

Andina Acquisition Corp II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ Andina ”), Andina II Holdco Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ Holdco ”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Andina, Andina II Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Merger Sub ”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco, Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Lazydays ” or the “ Company ”) and, solely for certain purposes set forth in the merger agreement, A. Lorne Weil, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ merger agreement ”), pursuant to which (a) Andina will merge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company (such new public company, “ Surviving Pubco ” and such merger, the “ Redomestication Merger ”) and (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into Lazydays, with Lazydays surviving and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (the “ Transaction Merger ” and together with the Redomestication Merger, the “ Mergers ”). In the Redomestication Merger, (i) each ordinary share of Andina will be exchanged for one share of common stock of Holdco (“ Holdco Shares ”), except that holders of ordinary shares of Andina sold in its initial public offering (“ public shares ”) shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Andina’s trust account, as provided in Andina’s charter documents, (ii) each Andina right will be exchanged for one-seventh of a Holdco Share and (iii) each Andina warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one-half of one Holdco Share at a price of $11.50 per whole share.

 

At the closing of the Transaction Merger, the outstanding shares of common stock of Lazydays will be converted into the right to receive 2,857,143 Holdco Shares and $85 million in cash, subject to adjustments based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of closing and also subject to any such Holdco Shares and cash that are issued and paid to Lazydays’ optionholders (the “ Optionholders ”) and participants under Lazydays’ transaction incentive plan (the “ Bonus Payment Recipients ”). See the second, third and fourth paragraphs under the section titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Information Statement – The Merger Proposals” on page 13 of the attached proxy statement/prospectus/information statement for further information on the consideration being paid to the Stockholders and the potential adjustments to the cash consideration that may be made thereto.

 

Andina’s units, ordinary shares, rights and warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols ANDAU, ANDA, ANDAR and ANDAW, respectively. Holdco will apply for listing, to be effective at the effective time of the Mergers, of its common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols LAZY and LAZYW, respectively. On February 13, 2018, the last trading day before the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, the closing sale price of Andina’s ordinary shares was $10.2889 per share.

 

Andina is holding a special meeting of its shareholders in order to obtain the shareholder approvals necessary to complete the Mergers and related matters. At the Andina special meeting, which will be held at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, on March 15, 2018, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Andina’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11 th Floor, New York, New York 10174, United States of America, unless postponed or adjourned to a later date, Andina will ask its shareholders to adopt the merger agreement thereby approving the Mergers and approve the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

     
 

 

As described in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, certain stockholders of Lazydays who in the aggregate own approximately 86% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Lazydays are parties to a support agreement with Andina whereby such stockholders agreed to vote their shares of common stock of Lazydays in favor of approving the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and vote against (A) certain alternative transaction proposals, (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Lazydays under the merger agreement, and (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (1) impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transaction Merger, (2) result in the failure of any of the conditions to the obligations of Andina, Holdco or Merger Sub to consummate the Transaction Merger as set forth in the merger agreement or (3) change in any manner the voting rights of any shares of common stock of Lazydays. In addition, certain Andina shareholders who in the aggregate own 38.1% of the issued and outstanding Andina shares have agreed to vote such shares in favor of approving the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 

In addition, following the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement is a part, being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and pursuant to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, the stockholders of Lazydays who are party to the support agreement will each execute an action by written consent of the Lazydays stockholders adopting the merger agreement, thereby approving the Transaction Merger and related transactions. Therefore, holders of a sufficient number of shares of Lazydays capital stock required to adopt the merger agreement will adopt the merger agreement, and no meeting of stockholders of Lazydays to adopt the merger agreement and approve the Transaction Merger and related transactions will be held. Nevertheless, all stockholders of Lazydays will have the opportunity to elect to adopt the merger agreement, thereby approving the Transaction Merger and related transactions, by signing and returning to Lazydays a written consent.

 

After careful consideration, the respective Andina and Lazydays boards of directors have approved the merger agreement and the board of directors of Andina has approved the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, and each of the Andina and Lazydays boards of directors has determined that it is advisable to consummate the Mergers. The board of directors of Andina recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, and the board of directors of Lazydays recommends that its stockholders sign and return to Lazydays the written consent indicating their approval of the Transaction Merger and adoption of the merger agreement and related transactions.

 

More information about Andina, Lazydays and the proposed transactions are contained in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. Andina and Lazydays urge you to read this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement carefully and in its entirety. IN PARTICULAR, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS DISCUSSED UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 27.

 

Andina and Lazydays are excited about the opportunities the Mergers bring to both Andina shareholders and Lazydays stockholders, and thank you for your consideration and continued support.

In the Redomestication Merger, (i) each ordinary share of Andina will be exchanged for one share of common stock of Holdco (“ Holdco Shares ”), except that holders of ordinary shares of Andina sold in its initial public offering (“ public shares ”) shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Andina’s trust account, as provided in Andina’s charter documents, (ii) each Andina right will be exchanged for one-seventh of a Holdco Share and (iii) each Andina warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one-half of one Holdco Share at a price of $11.50 per whole share. Accordingly, this prospectus covers an aggregate of 4,765,645 Holdco Shares and 2,155,000 Holdco Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to be issued by Holdco in exchange for the outstanding securities of Andina. This prospectus also covers an aggregate of 657,142 Holdco Shares that may be issued upon exercise of outstanding unit purchase options of Andina to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 Andina units.

 

Immediately following the consummation of the Redomestication Merger, Andina’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Andina II Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Merger Sub ”), will merge with and into Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Lazydays ” or the “ Company ”), with the Company being the surviving entity of such merger (the “ Transaction Merger ” and together with the Redomestication Merger, the “ Mergers ”) and becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Surviving Pubco (the “ Surviving Company ”).

Holdco will apply for listing, to be effective at the effective time of the Mergers, of its common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols LAZY and LAZYW, respectively. Holdco will not have units traded following consummation of the Mergers. It is a condition of the consummation of the Mergers that Holdco receive confirmation from Nasdaq that the Holdco Shares to be issued to the Stockholders, the Optionholders and the Bonus Payment Recipients pursuant to the merger agreement shall have been approved for listing on the exchange, except for the number of round lot holders, but there can be no assurance such condition will be met or that Holdco will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq. If such condition is not met, these transactions will not be consummated unless such condition is waived by the Company.

 

Each of Andina and Holdco is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “ JOBS Act ”) and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

We encourage you to carefully read this entire document and the documents incorporated by reference. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “ Risk Factors .”

 

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

            In addition to the foregoing proposals, the shareholders may also be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates if Andina would be unable to consummate the Mergers at the meeting for any reason. See the section entitled “ The Adjournment Proposal .”
             
           

Andina will hold the extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote upon these proposals.

 

This proxy statement/prospectus/information statement contains important information about the proposed Mergers and the other matters to be acted upon by shareholders of Andina at the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of Andina and stockholders of Lazydays should read this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement carefully.

 

Stockholders of Lazydays are entitled to sign and return the Lazydays written consent to adopt the merger agreement and approve the Transaction Merger and the other related transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 

This document serves as an information statement of Lazydays used to solicit the written consent of its Stockholders for the adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the Transaction Merger and the other related transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

             
            The vote of Andina shareholders is important. Andina shareholders are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.
             
Q.   I am an Andina right holder. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement?       As a holder of Andina rights, upon consummation of the Mergers, you will receive one-seventh of a Holdco Share for each right of Andina you hold. This proxy statement/prospectus/information statement includes important information about Holdco and the business of Holdco and its subsidiaries following consummation of the Mergers. Since holders of Andina rights will become holders of Holdco Shares upon consummation of the business combination, we urge you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement carefully.
             
Q.   I am an Andina warrant holder. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement?       As a holder of Andina warrants, upon consummation of the Mergers, you will be entitled to purchase one Holdco Share in lieu of one ordinary share of Andina at a purchase price of $11.50. This proxy statement/prospectus/information statement includes important information about Holdco and the business of Holdco and its subsidiaries following consummation of the Mergers. Since holders of Andina warrants may become holders of Holdco Shares after the consummation of the business combination, we urge you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement carefully.
             
Q.   Why is Andina proposing the Mergers?   A.   Andina was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
             
            Andina completed its initial public offering of units, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share, one right to receive one-seventh of an ordinary share and one warrant to purchase one half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share upon Andina’s completion of its initial business combination, on December 1, 2015, raising total gross proceeds of approximately $40,000,000. Since the initial public offering, Andina’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.
             
            Lazydays operates recreational vehicle dealerships in Seffner, FL, Tucson, AZ and Loveland, Denver and Longmont, CO. Lazydays carries more than 2,500 new and pre-owned recreational vehicles, and also has over 300 service bays and two on-site campgrounds with over 700 recreational vehicle campsites. Lazydays welcomes over 500,000 visitors annually, and employs over 700 people in its facilities. Based on its due diligence investigations of Lazydays and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Lazydays in the course of their negotiations, Andina believes that Lazydays has a very appealing growth profile and a compelling valuation. As a result, Andina believes that a business combination with Lazydays will provide Andina shareholders with an opportunity to participate in a company with significant growth potential. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposals — Andina’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination.

Q.   I am an Andina shareholder. Do I have conversion rights?   A.  

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to demand that Andina convert such shares into cash provided that you vote either for or against each of the merger proposals. We sometimes refer to these rights to demand conversion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in Andina’s trust account as “conversion rights.”

             
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “ Exchange Act ”) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” will not be converted to cash.
             
            Under Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Mergers may only be consummated if, upon consummation of the Mergers, Andina has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after giving effect to all holders of public shares that properly demand conversion of their shares into cash.
             
Q.   How do I exercise my conversion rights as an Andina shareholder?   A.  

If you are a holder of public shares and wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must (i) affirmatively vote either for or against each of the merger proposals and (ii) demand that Andina convert your shares into cash no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposals by (A) either checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Andina’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section and (B) delivering your shares to Andina’s transfer agent physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System prior to the vote at the meeting. Any holder of public shares voting for or against both of the merger proposals will be entitled to demand that his shares be converted for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (which was $21,958,353.70, or $10.30 per share, as of February 12, 2018, the record date). Such amount, less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the trust account, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Mergers. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the trust account. Your vote on any proposal other than the merger proposals will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your conversion rights.

If you (i) initially do not vote with respect to the merger proposals but then wish to vote for or against both of them, or (ii) wish to exercise your conversion rights but initially do not check the box on the proxy card providing for the exercise of your conversion rights and do not send a written request to Andina’s transfer agent to exercise your conversion rights, you may request Andina’s transfer agent to send you another proxy card on which you may indicate your intended vote or your intention to exercise your conversion rights. You may make such request by contacting Andina’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section.

             
            Any request for conversion, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the merger proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. If you deliver your shares for conversion to Andina’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the extraordinary general meeting not to elect conversion, you may request that Andina’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Andina’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section.
             
            Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of conversion rights must be received by Andina’s transfer agent prior to the vote taken on the merger proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. No demand for conversion will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting.
             
           

If a holder of public shares votes for or against both of the merger proposals and demand is properly made as described above, then, if the Mergers are consummated, Andina will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your ordinary shares of Andina for cash and will not be entitled to Holdco Shares in respect of such ordinary shares upon consummation of the Mergers.

             
            If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your conversion rights, it will not result in the loss of any Andina rights or warrants that you may hold. Your rights will automatically convert into Holdco Shares and your warrants will become exercisable to purchase one Holdco Share in lieu of one ordinary share of Andina for a purchase price of $11.50 per Holdco Share upon consummation of the Mergers.
             
Q.   Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Mergers?   A.  

Neither Andina shareholders nor the holders of its units, rights or warrants have appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers.

 

The Lazydays Stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction Merger under Delaware law. For more information about such rights, see the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL ”) attached hereto as Annex E and the section entitled “The Merger Proposals—Appraisal Rights”.

Q.   What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Mergers?   A.  

After consummation of the Mergers, the funds then held in the trust account will be released and used to pay holders of the public shares who exercise conversion rights, to pay the cash merger consideration, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the business combination with Lazydays (including fees of an aggregate of approximately $5.8 million to various investment bankers in connection with the business combination), for expenses related to prior proposed business combinations that were not consummated and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

             
Q.   What happens if a substantial number of public shareholders vote in favor of the merger proposals and exercise their conversion rights?      

Andina’s public shareholders may vote in favor of the merger proposals and still exercise their conversion rights. Accordingly, the business combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of conversions by public shareholders. However, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for the Holdco Shares may be less liquid than the market for Andina’s ordinary shares were prior to the Mergers and Holdco may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. In addition, with fewer funds available from the trust account, the working capital infusion from the trust account into Lazydays’ business will be reduced.

             
Q.   What will the pro forma ownership of Holdco be if the Mergers are consummated?    A.  

As a result of the Mergers, assuming no Andina shareholders elect to convert their shares into cash at the meeting, Lazydays will own approximately 26.4% of Holdco Shares to be outstanding immediately after the Mergers, Andina public shareholders will own approximately 24.2% of Holdco Shares, Andina’s initial founders will own approximately 12.0% of Holdco Shares, EarlyBirdCapital will own approximately 0.5% of Holdco shares and the PIPE investors will own approximately 36.9% of Holdco Shares, based on the number of Andina shares outstanding as of November 30, 2017 (in each case, not giving effect to any conversion of shares subsequent to November 30, 2017 or any shares issuable to the PIPE investors upon exercise of warrants or conversion of Series A Preferred Stock). If 1,649,196 ordinary shares are converted into cash, which assumes the maximum conversion of Andina’s shares and providing for a minimum of $5,000,001 in net tangible assets after giving effect to payments to converting shareholders, Lazydays will own approximately 30.9% of Holdco Shares, Andina public shareholders will own approximately 11.3% of Holdco Shares, Andina’s initial founders will own approximately 14.1% of Holdco Shares, EarlyBirdCapital will own approximately 0.6% of Holdco Shares and the PIPE investors will own approximately 43.1% of Holdco Shares to be outstanding immediately after the Mergers (in each case, not giving effect to any shares issuable to them upon exercise of warrants or conversion of Series A Preferred Stock).

           
Q.   What happens if the Mergers are not consummated?   A.  

If Andina does not complete the Mergers with Lazydays or another business combination by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve), it will trigger Andina’s automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. There is no limit on the number of extensions of time to complete a business combination that Andina may take (although Lazydays would have the right to terminate the merger agreement if the Mergers are not consummated on or before June 30, 2018). As a result, this has the same effect as if Andina had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, no vote would be required from Andina’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation.

             
Q.   When do you expect the Mergers to be completed?   A.   It is currently anticipated that the Mergers will be consummated promptly following the Andina extraordinary general meeting which is set for March 15, 2018; however, such meeting could be adjourned under certain circumstances, as described above. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Mergers, see the section entitled “ The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Mergers.
             
Q.   What do I need to do now?   A.  

Andina and Lazydays urge you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the Mergers will affect you as a shareholder, rightholder and/or warrantholder of Andina or stockholder of Lazydays, as applicable.

 

If you are an Andina shareholder, you should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

 

If you are a Lazydays Stockholder, you may execute and return your written consent to Lazydays in accordance with the instructions provided.

Q.   How do I vote my Andina ordinary shares?   A.   If you are a holder of record of Andina ordinary shares on the record date, you may vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.
             
Q.  

If my Andina shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

  A.   No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.
             
Q.  

May I change my vote with respect to my shares of Andina after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

  A.  

Yes. Andina shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Andina’s transfer agent at the address set forth below so that it is received prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting or attend the extraordinary general meeting in person and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Andina’s transfer agent, which must be received by Andina’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

             
Q.  

I am an Andina shareholder; what happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the meeting?

  A.  

If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the Mergers are approved by shareholders and consummated, you will become a stockholder of Holdco. As a corollary, failure to vote either for or against both of the merger proposals means you will not have any right in connection with the Redomestication Merger to exchange your shares for a pro rata share of the funds held in Andina’s trust account. If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the Mergers are not approved, you will continue to be a shareholder and/or warrantholder of Andina.

             
Q.  

I am a holder of Andina securities; what should I do with my stock and/or warrants certificates?

  A.   Andina warrantholders should not submit their warrant certificates now and those shareholders who do not elect to have their Andina shares converted into the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit their share certificates now. After the consummation of the Mergers, Holdco’s transfer agent will send instructions to Andina securityholders regarding the exchange of their Andina securities for Holdco securities. Andina shareholders who exercise their conversion rights must deliver their share certificates to Andina’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) prior to the vote at the meeting.

Q.   I am an Andina shareholder; what should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?   A.   Andina shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Andina shares.
             
Q.   I am a Lazydays Stockholder; what will I receive in the Transaction Merger?   A.  

As a result of the Transaction Merger, the Lazydays Stockholders will become entitled to receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 2,857,143 Holdco Shares; and (ii) $85,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustments based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of closing and also subject to any such Holdco Shares and cash that are issued and paid to the Optionholders and the Bonus Payment Recipients.

 

For a more complete description of what Lazydays Stockholders will receive in the Transaction Merger, please see the section entitled “The Merger Proposals – Structure of the Mergers”.

             
Q.   As a Lazydays Stockholder, how does the board of directors of Lazydays recommend that I vote?   A.   After careful consideration, the Lazydays board of directors recommends that the Stockholders execute the written consent indicating their votes in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the Transaction Merger and the related transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
             
Q.   Who can help answer my questions?   A.   If you are an Andina shareholder and you have questions about the Mergers or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement or the enclosed proxy card you should contact:

The Parties

 

Andina

 

Andina Acquisition Corp. II is a blank check company formed in order to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Andina was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on July 1, 2015.

 

On December 1, 2015, Andina closed its initial public offering of 4,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share, one right to receive one-seventh of one ordinary share upon consummation of an initial business combination and one warrant each to purchase one half of one ordinary share at a purchase price of $11.50 per full share upon consummation of an initial business combination. The units from the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $40,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Andina consummated the private sale of 310,000 units (“ private units ”) to its initial stockholders at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $3,100,000. A total of $40,600,000, was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. The initial public offering was conducted pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-207037) that became effective on November 24, 2015.

 

On each of August 30, 2017, October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2018, Andina held an extraordinary general shareholder meeting to extend the date by which Andina had to consummate a business combination and is currently seeking a further extension of time to consummate an initial business combination. Accordingly, Andina now has until April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve) to consummate the business combination with Lazydays. In connection with such meetings, holders of an aggregate of 1,868,121 public shares exercised their conversion rights and had their shares converted for a pro rata portion of the trust account at such dates. As of February 12, 2018, the record date, there was $21,958,353.70 held in the trust account and there were 2,131,879 public shares outstanding.

 

After consummation of the Mergers, the funds in the trust account will be released and used to pay holders of the public shares who exercise conversion rights, to pay the cash merger consideration, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the business combination with Lazydays (including fees of an aggregate of approximately $5.8 million to various investment bankers in connection with the business combination), for expenses related to prior proposed business combinations that were not consummated and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Andina units, ordinary shares, rights and warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols ANDAU, ANDA, ANDAR and ANDAW, respectively.

 

The mailing address of Andina’s principal executive office is 250 West 57 th Street, Suite 2223, New York, NY 10107. Its telephone number is (646) 565-3861. After the consummation of the Mergers, it will cease to exist.

The mailing address of Lazydays’ principal executive office is 6130 Lazy Days Blvd., Seffner, FL 33584 and its telephone number is (813) 246-4999.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

Each of Andina and Holdco is an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the JOBS Act. As emerging growth companies, Andina and Holdco are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and the requirement to obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Andina and Holdco have elected to take advantage of such extended transition period.

 

Holdco could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of its fiscal year following December 1, 2020 (the fifth anniversary of the consummation of its predecessor’s initial public offering). However, if Holdco’s non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period exceeds $1 billion or its total revenues exceed $1.07 billion or the market value of its ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, Holdco would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year.

The Merger Proposals

 

The merger agreement provides for a business combination transaction by means of (a) the Redomestication Merger of Andina with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company and (b) the Transaction Merger of Merger Sub with and into Lazydays, with Lazydays surviving and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco.

 

Under the merger agreement, the Stockholders will receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 2,857,143 Holdco Shares; and (ii) $85,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustments based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of closing and also subject to any such Holdco Shares and cash that are issued and paid to the Optionholders and the Bonus Payment Recipients.

 

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Lazydays, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) $4,250,000 in cash and 142,857 of Holdco Shares (the “ Indemnity Escrow Fund ”). The aggregate liability for indemnification of Holdco will not exceed the Indemnity Escrow Fund. Other than with respect to actual fraud by Lazydays with respect to the representations and warranties made by Lazydays in the merger agreement or breaches of certain specified representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement, Holdco’s rights to indemnification from the Indemnity Escrow Fund will be its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to the merger agreement. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposals — Indemnification of Holdco .”

 

Additionally, of the merger consideration, $2,000,000 will be placed into escrow as the sole and exclusive remedy for amounts (if any) owed to Holdco for adjustments to the merger consideration based on Lazydays’ Closing Date Working Capital (as defined in the merger agreement) and Closing Date Debt Amount (as defined in the merger agreement) as of closing of the Transaction Merger. Assuming Lazydays’ Closing Date Working Capital and Closing Date Debt Amount as of the closing of the Transaction Merger are the same as Lazydays’ working capital and specified debt as of September 30, 2017, the aggregate adjustment to the cash merger consideration would be an additional $2,012,000.  Assuming that the total amount of escrows and holdbacks were distributed, the total number of Holdco Shares and cash that a Stockholder would receive in respect of one share of common stock of Lazydays would be 0.82 Holdco Shares and $24.95 of cash.

 

Certain of the Stockholders will not be able to sell any of the Holdco Shares that they receive as a result of the Transaction Merger (subject to limited exceptions) until the earlier of (i) the nine-month anniversary of the closing and (ii) the date on which Holdco consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction in which Holdco is not the surviving company or which results in a change of control of Holdco. These Stockholders will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to the closing.

 

See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposals — Structure of the Transaction ” for more information.

 

Andina and Lazydays plan to complete the Mergers promptly after the Andina extraordinary general meeting, provided that:

 

  ● 

Andina’s shareholders have approved the merger proposals, director election proposal, charter proposals and the PIPE proposal;

     
 

Andina has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Mergers after taking into account all holders of Andina’s public shares that have properly exercised their conversion rights;

     
 

Holdco has received confirmation from Nasdaq that it meets all the requirements for listing of the Holdco Shares on such exchange other than the requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders; and

     
  the other conditions specified in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived.

 

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “ The Merger Proposals — Andina’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination ,” Andina’s board of directors concluded that the Mergers met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering, including that the business of Lazydays had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of execution of the merger agreement.

 

13
 

 

As a result of the Mergers, assuming that no shareholders of Andina elect to convert their public shares into cash in connection with the Mergers at the meeting as permitted by Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Stockholders will own approximately 26.4% of the shares of common stock of Holdco to be outstanding immediately after the Mergers, the former Andina shareholders will own approximately 36.7% of Holdco’s outstanding shares of common stock and the remaining 36.9% of Holdco’s outstanding shares of common stock would be owned by the investors in the PIPE Investment described below, based on the number of Andina shares outstanding as of November 30, 2017 (in each case, not giving effect to any conversion of shares subsequent to November 30, 2017 or any shares issuable to the PIPE investors upon exercise of warrants or conversion of Series A Preferred Stock). If the maximum number of Andina public shares is converted into cash, such percentages will be approximately 30.9%, 26.0% and 43.1%, respectively. The foregoing does not take into account any adjustments to the merger consideration.

 

If the merger proposals are not approved by Andina’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting, the director election proposal, charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal and PIPE proposal will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting for a vote.

 

The Director Election Proposal

 

The shareholders of Andina will also vote to elect seven directors who, upon consummation of the Mergers, will be the directors of Holdco. If management’s nominees are elected, the directors of Holdco will be Bryan Rich, Jr. and Jim Fredlake, who were designated by Lazydays, Jordan Gnat and B. Luke Weil, who were designated by Andina, Christopher S. Shackelton and Jerry Comstock who were designated by the PIPE investors and William Murnane who was designated by mutual agreement of Andina and Lazydays. See the section entitled “ The Director Election Proposal .”

 

The Charter Proposals

 

The shareholders of Andina will also vote on separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Andina’s current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Lazydays Holdings, Inc.” as opposed to “Andina Acquisition Corp. II”; (ii) Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, as opposed to Andina having 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Andina’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Andina within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contains. Holdco’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be in effect upon consummation of the Mergers are attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. See the section entitled “ The Charter Proposals .”

 

The Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal

 

The proposed 2018 Plan will reserve up to thirteen percent (13%) of the Holdco Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of the closing of the merger for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the fair market value per Holdco Share immediately following the closing of the Mergers is greater than $8.75 per Holdco Share the number of Holdco Shares authorized for Awards granted under the 2018 Plan shall be increased automatically based on a formula[1], but not in excess of eighteen percent (18%) of the Holdco Shares then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis. The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to assist in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants of Holdco and its affiliates and promoting the creation of long-term value for shareholders of Holdco by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of other shareholders. The 2018 Plan authorizes the award of share-based incentives to encourage eligible employees, officers, directors, and consultants, as described below, to expend maximum effort in the creation of shareholder value. The plan is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. You are encouraged to read the 2018 Plan in its entirety.

 

  (1) The formula is ((X-Y)/Y)*(number of Holdco Shares that represent 13% of fully diluted Holdco Shares as of closing date). X is the value of one option (for one Holdco Share) with an exercise price of $8.75, and Y is the value of one option (for one Holdco Share) with an exercise price at fair market value of one Holdco Share. Options shall be valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method, assuming 40% volatility, a risk free rate equal to the 3-month Treasury Bill and a 5-year term.

 

14
 

 

The PIPE Proposal

 

The shareholders of Andina will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the PIPE Investment of convertible preferred stock, common stock, and warrants of Holdco for an aggregate purchase price of $94.8 million in private placements which will close simultaneously with the consummation of the Mergers. See the section entitled “The PIPE Proposal.”

 

The Adjournment Proposal

 

If Andina is unable to consummate the business combination at the time of the meeting for any reason, Andina’s board of directors may submit a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary. See the section entitled “ The Adjournment Proposal .”

 

Andina Initial Shareholders

 

As of February 12, 2018, the record date for the Andina extraordinary general meeting, Andina’s shareholders prior to its initial public offering (the “ initial shareholders ”) beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,000,000 initial shares that were issued prior to Andina’s initial public offering. These individuals and entities, along with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the managing underwriter in Andina’s initial public offering, also purchased an aggregate of 310,000 private units simultaneously with the consummation of Andina’s initial public offering. The initial shares and private units currently constitute approximately 38.1% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Andina.

 

In connection with the initial public offering, each Andina initial shareholder agreed to vote the initial shares, the shares of Andina included in the private units, as well as any Andina ordinary shares acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of the merger proposals. The Andina initial shareholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares of Andina in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The initial shares of Andina and shares of Andina included in the private units have no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Andina. In connection with the initial public offering, the Andina initial shareholders entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which their initial shares of Andina are held in escrow and may not be transferred (subject to limited exceptions) until, with respect to 50% of such initial shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of Andina’s ordinary shares exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of an initial business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of such initial shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to Andina’s initial business combination, it consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Upon closing of the business combination, the Holdco Shares the initial shareholders will receive upon consummation of the Mergers will be placed in escrow with the same terms as described above.

 

Date, Time and Place of Extraordinary General Meeting of Andina’s Shareholders

 

The extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of Andina will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on March 15, 2018, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Andina’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10174, United States of America, to consider and vote upon the merger proposals, the director election proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal, the PIPE proposal and/or if necessary, the adjournment proposal.

 

Voting Power; Record Date

 

Shareholders of Andina will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned ordinary shares of Andina at the close of business on February 12, 2018, which is the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of Andina will have one vote for each ordinary share of Andina owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares of Andina you beneficially own are properly counted. Andina warrants do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 3,441,879 ordinary shares of Andina outstanding, of which 2,131,879 were public shares with the rest being held by the Andina initial shareholders and EarlyBirdCapital.

 

15
 

 

Quorum and Vote of Andina Shareholders

 

A quorum of Andina shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Andina extraordinary general meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Andina initial shareholders and EarlyBirdCapital hold approximately 38.1% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Andina. Such shares will be voted in favor of the merger proposals and are expected to be voted in favor of all other proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. The proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting will require the following votes:

 

 

The approval of each of the merger proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting.

     
  ● 

The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares of Andina not voted “FOR” a particular nominee (whether as a result of an abstention, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.

     
  ●  The approval of each of the charter proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting.
     
 

The approval of the incentive compensation plan proposal will require the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the holders of Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting.

     
 

The approval of the PIPE proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the holders of Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting.

     
  ● 

The approval of the adjournment proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the holders of Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

Abstentions present in person and by proxy are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the merger proposals, the charter proposals, the compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal (if presented). Broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, but as not being eligible to vote on a particular proposal. A broker non-vote will have no effect on the merger proposals, the charter proposals, the compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal (if presented). Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the director election proposal. Please note that holders of the public shares cannot seek conversion of their public shares unless they affirmatively vote for or against both of the merger proposals.

 

16
 

 

The approval of the merger proposals, director election proposal, charter proposals and the PIPE proposal is a condition to the consummation of the business combination. In addition, if any one of the merger proposals, director election proposal, charter proposals or the PIPE proposal is not approved, the incentive compensation plan proposal will not be presented to the Andina shareholders for a vote.

 

Conversion Rights

 

Pursuant to Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, a holder of public shares may demand that Andina convert such shares into cash if the Mergers are consummated. Holders of public shares will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if they (i) affirmatively vote either for or against both of the merger proposals and (ii) demand that Andina convert their shares of Andina into cash no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposals by (A) either checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Andina’s transfer agent and (B) delivering their shares of Andina to Andina’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. If the Mergers are not completed, these shares will not be converted into cash. If a holder of public shares properly demands conversion and votes for or against both of the merger proposals, Andina will convert each public share into a full pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Mergers. As of February 12, 2018, the record date, this would amount to approximately $10.30 per share. If a holder of public shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its ordinary shares of Andina for cash and will no longer own the shares. See the section entitled “ Extraordinary General Meeting of Andina Shareholders — Conversion Rights ” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public shareholder will not be converted to cash.

 

The Mergers will not be consummated if Andina has net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Mergers after taking into account holders of public shares that have properly demanded conversion of their shares into cash. If Andina has less than the required amount of net tangible assets, the Mergers will not be consummated.

 

Holders of Andina rights and warrants will not have conversion rights with respect to such securities.

 

Appraisal Rights

 

Andina shareholders (including the initial shareholders) and holders of Andina’s rights and warrants do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers under Cayman Islands law.

 

The Lazydays Stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction Merger under Delaware law. For more information about such rights, see the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL attached hereto as Annex E and the section entitled “The Merger Proposals—Appraisal Rights”.

 

Proxy Solicitation

 

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Andina has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

 

If a shareholder of Andina grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares of Andina in person if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder of Andina may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “ Extraordinary General Meeting of Andina Shareholders — Revoking Your Proxy .”

 

Interests of Andina’s Directors and Officers in the Mergers

 

When you consider the recommendation of Andina’s board of directors in favor of approval of the merger proposals, you should keep in mind that Andina’s initial shareholders, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder of Andina. These interests include, among other things:

 

17
 

 

  ●  If the business combination with Lazydays or another business combination is not consummated by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve), Andina will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 1,000,000 shares of Andina held by Andina’s initial shareholders, including its directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to Andina’s initial public offering, would be worthless because Andina’s initial shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $10,330,000 based upon the closing price of $10.33 per share on Nasdaq on February 12, 2018, the record date.
     
  ●  Andina’s initial shareholders, including its directors and officers, and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 310,000 private units from Andina for an aggregate purchase price of $3,100,000 (or $10.00 per private unit). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering. All of the proceeds Andina received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such units had an aggregate market value of $4,972,400 based upon the closing price of $16.04 per unit on Nasdaq on February 12, 2018, the record date. The purchasers of the private units waived the right to participate in any redemption or liquidation distribution with respect to such private units. Accordingly, the Andina shares, rights and warrants underlying the private units will become worthless if Andina does not consummate a business combination by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve).
     
  The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that B. Luke Weil, a director of Andina, will be a director of Holdco after the closing of the Mergers. As such, in the future he will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Holdco board of directors determines to pay to its non-executive directors.
     
  If the business combination is consummated, Andina has agreed to pay Hydra Management LLC, an affiliate of A. Lorne Weil, an initial shareholder of Andina and father of B. Luke Weil, Andina’s non-executive chairman, $450,000 as compensation for advisory services rendered to Andina in connection with the business combination, including assisting Andina in negotiating and finalizing the merger agreement and the documentation relating to the PIPE Investment.
     
  ●  If Holdco is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, B. Luke Weil will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Andina for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Andina, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver.
     
  ●  Andina’s initial shareholders, including its officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Andina’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Andina fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Andina may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the business combination with Lazydays or another business combination, is not completed by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve). As of February 12, 2018, the record date, Andina’s initial shareholders and their affiliates had not incurred any unpaid reimbursable expenses although they may do so in the future.
     
  ●  Since its inception, Andina’s initial shareholders have made loans from time to time to Andina to fund certain capital requirements, including amounts necessary to be added to the trust account to secure the additional time Andina needed to consummate the business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, an aggregate of $761,166 principal amount of these loans is outstanding. These loans are evidenced by non-interest bearing notes. Of this amount, an aggregate of $100,000 is evidenced by a convertible promissory note issued to A. Lorne Weil, an initial shareholder and father of B. Luke Weil, Andina’s non-executive chairman, and is convertible at Mr. Weil’s election upon the consummation of an initial business combination into units of Andina, at a price of $10.00 per unit. If Mr. Weil converts the full amount of the notes into units of Andina, he would be issued an aggregate of 11,429 Holdco Shares and 10,000 warrants of Holdco. If the business combination is not consummated, the notes will not be repaid or converted and will be forgiven unless Andina has funds outside of the trust account then available to it to repay such notes.
     
  ●  If Andina is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, B. Luke Weil has agreed to advance Andina the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

 

18
 

 

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Andina or its securities, the Andina initial shareholders, Lazydays or the Stockholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Andina from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire ordinary shares of Andina or vote their shares of Andina in favor of the merger proposals. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the shares of Andina present and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting to approve the merger proposals vote in their favor and that Andina have in excess of the required amount to consummate the Mergers under the merger agreement, where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares of Andina, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Andina initial shareholders for nominal value.

 

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Andina’s ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares of Andina at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the Andina shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

 

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Mergers to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares of Andina by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposals and other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Moreover, any such purchases may make it more likely that Andina will have in excess of the required amount of cash available to consummate the Mergers as described above.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Andina will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposals or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

 

Interests of Lazydays’ Directors and Officers in the Mergers

 

In considering the recommendation of the Lazydays board of directors with respect to approving the Transaction Merger and related transactions by written consent, the Stockholders should be aware that certain members of the board of directors and executive officers of Lazydays have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a Stockholder. For example, some of Lazydays’ directors and executive officers are expected to become directors and/or executive officers of Surviving Pubco upon the closing of the Mergers. Specifically, William Murnane and Maura L. Berney, both of whom are currently executive officers of Lazydays, are expected to become executive officers of Surviving Pubco upon the closing of the Mergers, with Mr. Murnane serving as the Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Berney serving as the Chief Financial Officer of Surviving Pubco. On the closing of the Mergers, Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney will each be granted an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdco. It is expected that Mr. Murnane will be granted an option to purchase approximately 5.0% of the shares of common stock of Holdco and that Ms. Berney will be granted an option to purchase approximately 2.0% of the shares of common stock of Holdco, in each case, on a fully diluted basis and subject to adjustment. The options will vest based on Holdco’s achievement of certain trading prices for at least thirty days during a thirty-five day period and will be subject to such terms and conditions as contained in the 2018 Plan and the option award agreements. The options will expire five years following the date of grant. The exercise price of the options will be the fair market value on the grant date. In addition, assuming a per share price for Holdco Shares of $8.75 and assuming that the total amount of escrows and holdbacks under the merger agreement are distributed, Mr. Murnane is expected to receive $1,728,640 in aggregate consideration in respect of the options to purchase shares of common stock of Lazydays he holds that will be cancelled upon the closing of the Mergers in accordance with the merger agreement and Ms. Berney is expected to receive $409,451 in aggregate consideration in respect of the options to purchase shares of common stock of Lazydays she holds that will be cancelled upon the closing of the Mergers in accordance with the merger agreement. Additionally, Mr. Murnane, Bryan Rich, Jr. and Jim Fredlake, all of whom are current directors of Lazydays, are expected to be designated to serve on the board of directors of Surviving Pubco following the closing of the Mergers. Nothing herein is intended to allege that any of the interests of the Lazydays’ directors and executive officers described above presented a conflict of interest for such directors and executive officers in connection with the Mergers.

 

Recommendation to Andina Shareholders

 

Andina’s board of directors believes that the merger proposals and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are fair to and in the best interest of Andina’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” each of the merger proposals, “FOR” the election of all of the persons nominated by Andina’s management for election as directors, “FOR” each of the charter proposals, “FOR” the incentive compensation plan proposal, “FOR” the PIPE proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, if presented.

 

19
 

 

Support Agreement

 

Certain Lazydays Stockholders who in the aggregate own approximately 86% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Lazydays are parties to a support agreement with Andina whereby such Stockholders agreed to vote their shares of common stock of Lazydays in favor of approving the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and vote against (A) certain alternative transaction proposals, (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Lazydays under the merger agreement, and (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (1) impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transaction Merger, (2) result in the failure of any of the conditions to the obligations of Andina, Holdco or Merger Sub to consummate the Transaction Merger as set forth in the merger agreement or (3) change in any manner the voting rights of any shares of common stock of Lazydays.

 

Lazydays Solicitation of Written Consents

 

Following the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement is a part, being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Lazydays Stockholders who are party to the support agreement will each execute an action by written consent of the Lazydays Stockholders adopting the merger agreement, thereby approving the merger and related transactions. Therefore, holders of a sufficient number of shares of Lazydays capital stock required to adopt the merger agreement will adopt the merger agreement, and no meeting of Lazydays stockholders to adopt the merger agreement and approve the Transaction Merger and related transactions will be held. Nevertheless, votes to adopt the merger agreement will be solicited from all Lazydays Stockholders, and all Lazydays Stockholders will have the opportunity to elect to adopt the merger agreement, thereby approving the Transaction Merger and related transactions, by signing and returning to Lazydays a written consent.

 

The adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the Transaction Merger and related transactions by the Stockholders of Lazydays require the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Lazydays common stock. In addition to the requirement of obtaining such stockholder approval and appropriate regulatory approvals, each of the other closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement must be satisfied or waived.

 

Conditions to the Closing of the Mergers

20
 

 

The existence of the financial and personal interests of the Andina directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what he may believe is best for Andina and what he may believe is best for him in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation. See the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” for a fuller discussion of this and other risks.

 

Termination

 

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time, but not later than the closing, subject to certain conditions set forth in the merger agreement, as follows:

 

  by mutual written consent of Andina and Lazydays;
     
  ●  by either Andina or Lazydays in certain circumstances if the closing of the Mergers has not occurred on or before June 30, 2018;
     
  ● 

by either Andina or Lazydays if a governmental entity shall have issued an order, or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Mergers, which order or other action is final and nonappealable;

     
  ●  by either Andina or Lazydays if the other party has materially breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties set forth in the merger agreement such that an applicable condition to closing of the Mergers would not be satisfied and is not cured within thirty days of a notice of such breach, provided that the terminating party is itself not in material breach of the merger agreement;
     
  ●  by Andina or Lazydays if, at the Andina extraordinary general meeting, the merger proposals, the director election proposal, the charter proposals, and the PIPE proposal are not approved by holders of Andina shares or Andina will have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon consummation of the Mergers and after giving effect to the exercise by the holders of public shares of their rights to convert the public shares held by them into cash;
     
  ●  by either Andina or Lazydays by written notice after Lazydays or Andina, as applicable, delivers a disclosure supplement under the merger agreement to Andina or Lazydays, as applicable, and the matter(s) disclosed in such disclosure supplement shall have resulted in a material adverse effect on Lazydays or Andina, as applicable; or
     
  ●  by Lazydays by written notice to Andina if at any time prior to obtaining the Lazydays stockholder approval, the Board of Directors of Lazydays authorizes Lazydays to terminate the merger agreement as a result of it receiving a “Superior Proposal” (as defined in the merger agreement).

 

If Lazydays terminates the merger agreement as a result of its receipt of a Superior Proposal as set forth in the merger agreement, it shall be required to pay Andina an aggregate of $2,200,000 within one business day of such termination.

 

Anticipated Tax Consequences of the Mergers

 

Andina has received an opinion from its counsel, Graubard Miller, that the Redomestication Merger should qualify as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, due to the absence of guidance directly on point on how the provisions of Section 368(a) apply in the case of a merger of corporations with no active business and only investment-type assets, this result is not entirely free from doubt. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position.

 

If the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, except as otherwise provided below in the sections entitled “Anticipated Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Andina and Its Securityholders – U.S. Holders - — PFIC Considerations” and “Anticipated Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Andina and Its Securityholders – U.S. Holders — Effect of Section 367,” a U.S. Holder (as defined in the section entitled “Anticipated Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Andina and Its Securityholders — General” below) of Andina securities will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of its Andina securities solely for Holdco securities pursuant to the Redomestication Merger. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Holdco securities received in connection with the Redomestication Merger should be the same as his aggregate tax basis in the Andina securities surrendered in the transaction, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder on such transaction under the passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” rules or Section 367(b) of the Code. See the discussion under “Anticipated Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Andina and Its Securityholders – U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations” and “Anticipated Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Andina and Its Securityholders – U.S. Holders — Effect of Section 367,” below. The U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Holdco securities received in the Redomestication Merger generally should include the holding period of the Andina securities surrendered in the Redomestication Merger.

 

If the Redomestication Merger fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Andina securities would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Andina securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Andina securities and the fair market value of the corresponding Holdco securities received in the Redomestication Merger. In such event, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the Holdco securities would be equal to their fair market value, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Holdco securities would begin on the day following the date of the Redomestication Merger.

  

21
 

 

Shareholders of Andina are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors, because the tax consequences may be different among the shareholders depending on their personal circumstances.

 

Andina also believes that it will not incur any material amount of federal tax as a result of the Mergers.

 

For a description of the material federal income tax consequences of the Mergers, please see the information set forth in “ The Merger Proposals — Anticipated Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Andina and its Securityholders .”

 

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

 

The Mergers will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the excess of the purchase price of the assets acquired over the book value as of the date of acquisition will be allocated first to the identifiable intangible assets, then any remaining excess to goodwill. All other assets and liabilities to be acquired are primarily estimated to be stated at their fair values, which approximates their recorded cost. In addition, a deferred tax liability will be provided on the difference between the value allocated and their tax basis.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

The Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for the filing of required notifications and the expiration or termination of the required waiting periods under the HSR Act and filings with the Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 

Risk Factors

 

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, a shareholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “ Risk Factors .”

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of November 30, 2017 combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Lazydays as of September 30, 2017 with the historical balance sheet of Andina as of November 30, 2017, giving effect to the Mergers as if they had been consummated as of that date.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended November 30, 2017 combines the historical consolidated statement of income of Lazydays for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 with the historical statement of operations of Andina for the year ended November 30, 2017, giving effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on December 1, 2016.

 

The historical financial information of Lazydays was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lazydays for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the audited consolidated financial statements of Lazydays for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. The historical financial information of Andina was derived from the audited financial statements of Andina for the years ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. This information should be read together with Lazydays’ and Andina’s audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes, “Lazydays’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Andina’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Mergers, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed 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 Mergers.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed 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 condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. Lazydays and Andina have not had any historical relationship prior to the Mergers. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of conversion into cash of Andina ordinary shares:

 

  Scenario 1 – Assuming no conversions into cash: This presentation assumes that no Andina shareholders exercise conversion rights with respect to their ordinary shares upon consummation of the Mergers; and
     
  Scenario 2 – Assuming conversions of 1,649,196 Andina ordinary shares into cash: This presentation assumes that Andina shareholders exercise their conversion rights with respect to a maximum of 1,649,196 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Mergers at a conversion price of approximately $10.30 per share. The maximum conversion amount is derived from the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible assets required after giving effect to payments to converting shareholders.

RISK FACTORS

 

Shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

Risks Related to Holdco’s Business and Operations Following the Mergers with Lazydays

 

The value of your investment in Holdco following consummation of the Mergers will be subject to the significant risks affecting Lazydays and inherent in the industry in which it operates. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. If any of the events described below occur, the post-acquisition business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of its shares of common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. As used in the risks described in this subsection, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to Lazydays unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

 

Risks Related to Lazydays’ Business

 

The Company’s business is affected by the availability of financing to it and its customers.

 

The Company’s business is affected by the availability of financing to it and its customers. Generally, RV dealers, including the Company, finance their purchases of inventory with financing provided by lending institutions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has up to $140 million in committed financing under a floor plan financing facility (the “Floor Plan Facility”). As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $83.9 million floor plan notes payable outstanding with $56.1 million of additional borrowing capacity under the Floor Plan Facility. As of September 30, 2017, substantially all of the invoice cost of new RV inventory and 11% of book value of used RV inventory was financed under the Floor Plan Facility. A decrease in the availability of this type of wholesale financing or an increase in the cost of such wholesale financing could prevent the Company from carrying adequate levels of inventory, which may limit product offerings and could lead to reduced sales and revenues.

 

Furthermore, many of the Company’s customers finance their RV purchases. Although consumer credit markets have improved, consumer credit market conditions continue to influence demand, especially for RVs, and may continue to do so. There continue to be fewer lenders, more stringent underwriting and loan approval criteria, and greater down payment requirements than in the past. If credit conditions or the credit worthiness of the Company’s customers worsen, and adversely affect the ability of consumers to finance potential purchases at acceptable terms and interest rates, it could result in a decrease in the sales of the Company’s products and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Fuel shortages, or high prices for fuel, could have a negative effect on the Company’s business.

 

Gasoline or diesel fuel is required for the operation of RVs. There can be no assurance that the supply of these petroleum products will continue uninterrupted, that rationing will not be imposed or that the price of or tax on these petroleum products will not significantly increase in the future. Shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel have had a material adverse effect on the RV industry as a whole in the past and any such shortages or substantial increases in the price of fuel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

27
 

 

The Company’s success will depend to a significant extent on the well-being, as well as the continued popularity and reputation for quality, of the Company’s manufacturers, particularly Thor Industries, Inc., Tiffin Motorhomes, Winnebago Industries, Inc., Forest River, Inc. and the REV Group, Inc.

 

Thor Industries, Inc., Tiffin Motorhomes, Winnebago Industries, Inc., Forest River, Inc. and the REV Group, Inc. supplied approximately 31%, 23%, 19%, 17% and 6%, respectively, of the Company’s new RV inventory as of September 30, 2017. The Company depends on its manufacturers to provide it with products that compare favorably with competing products in terms of quality, performance, safety and advanced features. Any adverse change in the production efficiency, product development efforts, technological advancement, marketplace acceptance, reputation, marketing capabilities or financial condition of the Company’s manufacturers could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company’s business. Any difficulties encountered by any of the Company’s manufacturers resulting from economic, financial, or other factors could adversely affect the quality and amount of products that they are able to supply to the Company and the services and support they provide to the Company.

 

The interruption or discontinuance of the operations of the Company’s manufacturers could cause the Company to experience shortfalls, disruptions, or delays with respect to needed inventory. Although the Company believes that adequate alternate sources would be available that could replace any manufacturer as a product source, those alternate sources may not be available at the time of any interruption, and alternative products may not be available at comparable quality and prices.

 

Any change, non-renewal, unfavorable renegotiation or termination of the Company’s supply arrangements for any reason could have a material adverse effect on product availability and cost and the Company’s financial performance.

 

The Company’s supply arrangements with manufacturers are typically governed by dealer agreements, which are customary in the RV industry. The Company’s dealer agreements with manufacturers are generally made on a location-by-location basis, and each retail location typically enters into multiple dealer agreements with multiple manufacturers. The terms of the Company’s dealer agreements are typically subject to:

 

● the Company meeting all the requirements and conditions of the manufacturer’s applicable programs;

 

● the Company meeting certain retail sales objectives;

 

● the Company performing services and repairs for all owners of the manufacturer’s RVs (regardless from whom the RV was purchased) that are still under warranty and the Company carrying the manufacturer’s parts and accessories needed to service and repair the manufacturer’s RVs in stock at all times;

 

● the Company actively advertising and promoting the manufacturer’s RVs; and

 

● the Company indemnifying the manufacturer under certain circumstances.

 

The Company’s dealer agreements designate a specific geographical territory for the Company, exclusive to the Company, provided that the Company is able to meet the material obligations of the applicable dealer agreement.

 

In addition, many of the Company’s dealer agreements contain contractual provisions concerning minimum advertised product pricing for current model year units. Wholesale pricing is generally established on a model year basis and is subject to change in the manufacturer’s sole discretion. In certain cases, the manufacturer may also establish a suggested retail price, below which the Company cannot advertise that manufacturer’s RVs. Any change, non-renewal, unfavorable renegotiation or termination of these dealer agreements for any reason could have a material adverse effect on product availability and cost and the Company’s financial performance.

 

28
 

 

The Company’s business is impacted by general economic conditions in its markets, and ongoing economic and financial uncertainties may cause a decline in consumer spending that may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company depends on consumer discretionary spending and, accordingly, the Company may be adversely affected if its customers reduce, delay or forego their purchases of the Company’s services, protection plans and products as a result of:

 

● job losses;

 

● bankruptcies;

 

● higher consumer debt and interest rates;

 

● reduced access to credit;

 

● higher energy and fuel costs;

 

● relative or perceived cost, availability and comfort of RV use versus other modes of travel, such as air travel and rail;

 

● falling home prices;

 

● lower consumer confidence;

 

● uncertainty or changes in tax policies and tax rates; or

 

● uncertainty due to national or international security concerns.

 

Decreases in the number of customers, average spend per customer or retention and renewal rates for the Company’s consumer services and plans would negatively affect the Company’s financial performance. A prolonged period of depressed consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. In addition, adverse economic conditions may result in an increase in the Company’s operating expenses due to, among other things, higher costs of labor, energy, equipment and facilities. Due to recent fluctuations in the U.S. economy, the Company’s sales, operating and financial results for a particular period are difficult to predict, making it difficult to forecast results for future periods. Additionally, the Company is subject to economic fluctuations in local markets that may not reflect the general economic conditions of the broader U.S. economy. Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company depends on its ability to attract and retain customers.

 

The Company’s future success depends in large part upon the Company’s ability to attract and retain customers for its services, protection plans, products and resources. The extent to which the Company achieves growth in its customer base materially influences the Company’s profitability. Any number of factors could affect the Company’s ability to grow its customer base. These factors include consumer preferences and general economic conditions, the Company’s ability to maintain its retail locations, weather conditions, the availability of alternative products, significant increases in gasoline prices, the disposable income of consumers available for discretionary expenditures and the external perception of the Company’s brands. Any significant decline in the Company’s customer base, the rate of growth of its customer base or customer demand could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition in the market for services, protection plans and products targeting the RV lifestyle or RV enthusiast could reduce the Company’s revenues and profitability.

 

The market for services, protection plans and products targeting the RV lifestyle or RV enthusiast is highly fragmented and competitive. Competition in the RV market is driven by price, product and service features, technology, performance, reliability, quality, availability, variety, delivery and customer service. In addition to competing with other dealers of new and used RVs, the Company competes directly or indirectly with major national insurance and warranty companies, providers of roadside assistance and providers of extended service contracts.

 

Additional competitors may enter the businesses in which the Company currently operates. If any of the Company’s competitors successfully provides a broader, more efficient or attractive combination of services, protection plans and products to the Company’s target customers, the Company’s business results could be materially adversely affected. The Company’s inability to compete effectively with existing or potential competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Some of the Company’s existing competitors have, and some of the Company’s future competitors may have, greater financial, personnel, and other resources, more well-established brands or reputations and broader customer bases than the Company and, as a result, these competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to potential acquisitions and other market opportunities and changes in customer preferences. Some of these competitors may have customer bases that are more geographically balanced than the Company’s and, therefore, may be less affected by an economic downturn in a particular region or market. Competitors with greater resources also may be able to offer lower prices, additional products or services or other incentives that the Company cannot match or does not offer. Industry consolidations may also create competitors with broader and more geographic coverage.

 

The Company’s expansion into new, unfamiliar markets presents increased risks that may prevent it from being profitable in these new markets. Delays in opening or acquiring new retail locations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company intends to expand in part by building or acquiring new retail locations in new markets. As a result, the Company may have less familiarity with local consumer preferences and could encounter difficulties in attracting customers due to a reduced level of consumer familiarity with the Company’s brands. Other factors that may impact the Company’s ability to open or acquire new retail locations in new markets and operate them profitably, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, include:

 

● the Company’s ability to identify suitable acquisition opportunities or new locations, including the Company’s ability to gather and assess demographic and marketing data to determine consumer demand for the Company’s products in the locations the Company selects;

 

● the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable lease agreements;

 

● the Company’s ability to secure product lines;

 

● the availability of construction materials and labor for new retail locations and the occurrence of significant construction delays or cost overruns;

 

● the Company’s ability to accurately assess the profitability of potential acquisitions or new locations;

 

●the Company’s ability to secure required governmental permits and approvals;

 

● the Company’s ability to hire and train skilled operating personnel, especially management personnel;

 

● the Company’s ability to provide a satisfactory product mix that is responsive to the needs of its customers living in the geographic areas where new retail locations are built or acquired;

 

● the Company’s ability to supply new retail locations with inventory in a timely manner;

 

● the Company’s competitors building or leasing retail locations near the Company’s retail locations or in locations the Company has identified as targets;

 

● regional economic and other factors in the geographic areas in which the Company expands; and

 

● general economic and business conditions affecting consumer confidence and spending and the overall strength of the Company’s business.

 

30
 

 

Once the Company decides on a new market and identifies a suitable location or acquisition opportunity, any delays in opening or acquiring or developing new retail locations could impact the Company’s financial results. It is possible that events, such as delays in the entitlements process or construction delays caused by permitting or licensing issues, material shortages, labor issues, weather delays or other acts of god, discovery of contaminants, accidents, deaths or injuries could delay planned openings or force the Company to abandon planned openings altogether.

 

As the Company grows, the Company will face the risk that its existing resources and systems, including management resources, accounting and finance personnel and operating systems, may be inadequate to support its growth. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain the personnel or make the changes in its systems that may be required to support its growth. Failure to secure these resources and implement these systems on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. In addition, hiring additional personnel and implementing changes and enhancements to the Company’s systems will require capital expenditures and other increased costs that could also have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

 

The Company’s expansion into new markets may also create new challenges including an increase in information to be processed by the Company’s information management systems and diversion of management attention from existing operations. To the extent that the Company is not able to meet these additional challenges, the Company’s sales could decrease and the Company’s operating expenses could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Finally, the size, timing, and integration of any future new retail location openings or acquisitions may cause substantial fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations from quarter to quarter. Consequently, the Company’s results of operations for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent quarter or for a full fiscal year. These fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

As a result of the above factors, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to operate retail locations in new markets on a profitable basis. The failure to operate retail locations in new markets on a profitable basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Unforeseen expenses, difficulties, and delays encountered in connection with expansion through acquisitions could inhibit the Company’s growth and negatively impact its profitability.

 

The Company’s success will depend, in part, on the ability of the Company to make successful acquisitions and to integrate the operations of acquired retail locations, including centralizing certain functions to achieve cost savings and pursuing programs and processes that promote cooperation and the sharing of opportunities and resources among the Company’s retail locations and consumer services and plans. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties and delays encountered in connection with rapid expansion through acquisitions could inhibit the Company’s growth, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s profitability.

 

Additionally, the Company may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or consummate acquisitions. Increased competition for acquisition candidates or increased asking prices by acquisition candidates may increase purchase prices for acquisitions to levels beyond the Company’s financial capability or to levels that would be unlikely to provide the returns required by the Company’s acquisition criteria. Acquisitions also may become more difficult or less attractive in the future as the Company continues to acquire the most attractive dealers. In addition, the Company may encounter difficulties in integrating the operations of acquired dealers with its own operations or managing acquired dealers and stores profitably without substantial costs, delays, or other operational or financial problems.

 

31
 

 

The Company’s ability to continue to grow through the acquisition of additional retail locations will depend upon various factors, including the following:

 

● the availability of suitable acquisition candidates at attractive purchase prices;

 

● the ability to compete effectively for available acquisition opportunities;

 

● the availability of cash on hand, borrowed funds or Holdco Shares with a sufficient market price to finance acquisitions;

 

● the ability to obtain any requisite third party or governmental approvals; and

 

● the absence of one or more third parties attempting to impose unsatisfactory restrictions on the Company in connection with their approval of acquisitions.

 

As a part of the Company’s acquisition strategy, the Company has engaged and will continue to engage in acquisition discussions with various dealerships. In connection with these acquisition discussions, the Company and each potential acquisition candidate exchange confidential operational and financial information, conduct due diligence inquiries, and consider the structure, terms, and conditions of the potential acquisition. Potential acquisition discussions may take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business integration and other issues, including in some cases, management succession, employee transitions and related matters. As a result of these and other factors, potential acquisitions that may from time to time appear likely to occur may not be consummated. In addition, the Company may have disagreements with potential acquisition targets, which could lead to litigation. Any of these factors or outcomes could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Failure to maintain the strength and value of the Company’s brands could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company’s success depends on the value and strength of the Lazydays brands. The Lazydays name and Lazydays brands are integral to the Company’s business as well as to the implementation of the Company’s strategies for expanding its business. Maintaining, enhancing, promoting and positioning the Company’s brands, particularly in new markets where the Company has limited brand recognition, will depend largely on the success of the Company’s marketing efforts and its ability to provide high quality services, protection plans, products and resources and a consistent, high quality customer experience. The Company’s brands could be adversely affected if the Company fails to achieve these objectives, if the Company fails to comply with local laws and regulations, if the Company is subject to publicized litigation or if the Company’s public image or reputation were to be tarnished by negative publicity. Some of these risks are not within the Company’s control, such as the effects of negative publicity regarding the Company’s manufacturers, suppliers or third party providers of services or negative publicity related to members of management. Any of these events could result in decreases in revenues. Further, maintaining, enhancing, promoting and positioning the Company’s brand image may require the Company to make substantial investments in areas such as marketing, store operations, community relations, store graphics and employee training, which could adversely affect the Company’s cash flow. Furthermore, efforts to maintain, enhance or promote the Company’s brand image may ultimately be unsuccessful. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

32
 

 

The Company’s failure to successfully order and manage its inventory to reflect consumer demand in a volatile market and anticipate changing consumer preferences and buying trends could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company’s success depends upon the Company’s ability to successfully manage the Company’s inventory and to anticipate and respond to product trends consumer demands in a timely manner. The Company’s products appeal to consumers who are, or could become, RV owners. The preferences of these consumers cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to change. Further, the retail consumer industry, by its nature, is volatile and sensitive to numerous economic factors, including consumer preferences, competition, market conditions, general economic conditions and other factors outside of the Company’s control. The Company typically orders products well in advance of the following selling season. The extended lead times for many of the Company’s purchases may make it difficult for the Company to respond rapidly to new or changing product trends, increases or decreases in consumer demand or changes in prices. If the Company misjudges either the market for the Company’s products or its consumers’ purchasing habits in the future, the Company’s revenues may decline significantly and the Company may not have sufficient inventory to satisfy consumer demand or sales orders or the Company may be required to discount excess inventory, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company’s same store sales may fluctuate and may not be a meaningful indicator of future performance.

 

The Company’s same store sales may vary from quarter to quarter. A number of factors affect and will continue to affect the Company’s same store sales results, including:

 

● changes or anticipated changes to regulations related to the products the Company offers;

 

● consumer preferences and buying trends;

 

● overall economic trends;

 

● the Company’s ability to identify and respond effectively to local and regional trends and customer preferences;

 

● the Company’s ability to provide quality customer service that will increase its conversion of shoppers into paying customers;

 

● competition in the regional market of a store;

 

● atypical weather patterns;

 

● changes in the Company’s product mix;

 

● changes to local or regional regulations affecting the Company’s stores;

 

● changes in sales of consumer services and plans and retention and renewal rates for the Company’s annually renewing consumer services and plans; and

 

● changes in pricing and average unit sales.

 

An unanticipated decline in revenues or same store sales could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The cyclical nature of the Company’s business has caused its sales and results of operations to fluctuate. These fluctuations may continue in the future, which could result in operating losses during downturns.

 

The RV industry is cyclical and is influenced by many national and regional economic and demographic factors, including:

 

● terms and availability of financing for retailers and consumers;

 

● overall consumer confidence and the level of discretionary consumer spending;

 

● population and employment trends;

 

● income levels; and

 

● general economic conditions, including inflation, deflation and recessions.

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s sales and results of operations have fluctuated, and the Company expects that they will continue to fluctuate in the future.

 

33
 

 

The Company’s business is seasonal and this leads to fluctuations in sales and revenues.

 

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in revenue, net income and cash flows as a result of annual seasonality in its business. Because the Company’s largest dealership is located in the southern United States, demand for services, protection plans, products and resources generally increases during the winter season when people move south for the winter or vacation in warmer climates, while sales and profits are generally lower during the summer months. In addition, unusually severe weather conditions in some geographic areas may impact demand.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company generated 56% and 58% of its annual revenue in the first and second fiscal quarters, respectively, which include the winter months. The Company incurs additional expenses in the first and second fiscal quarters due to higher purchase volumes, increased staffing in the Company’s retail locations and program costs. If, for any reason, the Company miscalculates the demand for its products or its product mix during the first and second fiscal quarters, the Company’s sales in these quarters could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of sales, lower margins and excess inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Due to the Company’s seasonality, the possible adverse impact from other risks associated with its business, including atypical weather, consumer spending levels and general business conditions, is potentially greater if any such risks occur during the Company’s peak sales seasons.

 

The Company’s business may be adversely affected by unfavorable conditions in its local markets, even if those conditions are not prominent nationally.

 

The Company’s performance is subject to local economic, competitive, weather and other conditions prevailing in geographic areas where it operates. Since a large portion of the Company’s sales are generated in Florida, the Company’s results of operations depend substantially on general economic conditions and consumer spending habits in the Southeastern United States. In the event that this geographic area experiences a downturn in economic conditions, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company may not be able to expand geographically and any geographic expansion may not adequately insulate the Company from the adverse effects of local or regional economic conditions.

 

The Company may not be able to satisfy its debt obligations upon the occurrence of a change in control under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities or Floor Plan Facility.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had an existing credit agreement that included a $13.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) and $7.0 million of commitments for revolving loans (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, as amended, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Additionally, the Company also has up to $140 million in committed financing under the Floor Plan Facility. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $9.6 million of term loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, net of $0.1 million of unamortized original issue discount, $0.0 million of revolving borrowings outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and $83.6 million in floor plan notes payable outstanding under the Floor Plan Facility, net of $0.3 million of unamortized original issue discount, with $7.0 million of additional borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and $56.1 million of additional borrowing capacity under the Floor Plan Facility.

 

The consummation of the Transaction Merger will result in a Change of Control as defined in the documentation governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, which is an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility, in the absence of waivers from the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility or amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility, the holders of the affected indebtedness will have the right to declare all outstanding obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility, as applicable, immediately due and payable and to terminate the availability of future advances to the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s lenders will agree to an amendment of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and/or the Floor Plan Facility or a waiver of any such event of default. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient resources available to satisfy all of its obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility if no waiver or amendment is obtained. In the event the Company was unable to satisfy these obligations, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

34
 

 

The Company’s ability to operate and expand its business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will depend on the availability of adequate capital.

 

The operation of the Company’s business, the rate of the Company’s expansion and the Company’s ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions depend on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends on cash flow generated by the Company’s business and, if necessary, the availability of equity or debt capital. The Company also requires sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations under its existing debt agreements. The Term Loan Facility requires the Company to make monthly principal payments of the outstanding principal amount thereof, which totaled $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.9 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, the Company paid total cash interest on its Senior Secured Credit Facilities of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.06 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the Company paid total floor plan interest expense on its Floor Plan Facility of $2.8 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2.3 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. See “Lazydays’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

The Company is dependent to a significant extent on its ability to finance its new and certain of its used RV inventory under the Floor Plan Facility. Floor plan financing arrangements allow the Company to borrow money to purchase new RVs from the manufacturer or used RVs on trade-in or at auction and pay off the loan when the Company sells the financed RV. The Company may need to increase the capacity of its existing Floor Plan Facility in connection with its acquisition of dealerships and overall growth. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain such incremental financing, the Company’s ability to complete acquisitions could be limited.

 

The Company cannot assure you that its cash flow from operations or cash available under its Revolving Credit Facility or its Floor Plan Facility will be sufficient to meet its needs. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, and if availability under its Revolving Credit Facility or its Floor Plan Facility is not sufficient, the Company may have to obtain additional financing. If the Company obtains additional capital through the issuance of equity of Holdco, the interests of existing stockholders of Holdco will be diluted. If the Company incurs additional indebtedness, such indebtedness may contain significant financial covenants and other negative covenants that may significantly restrict the Company’s ability to operate. The Company cannot assure you that it could obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all.

 

The documentation governing the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and its Floor Plan Facility contain restrictive covenants that may impair the Company’s ability to access sufficient capital and operate its business.

 

The documentation governing the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and its Floor Plan Facility contain various provisions that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things:

 

● incur additional indebtedness;

 

● incur certain liens;

 

● consolidate or merge;

 

● alter the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries;

 

● make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions;

 

● sell assets, including capital stock of its subsidiaries;

 

● enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions;

 

● pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or certain other indebtedness;

 

● engage in transactions with affiliates; and

 

● enter into agreements restricting its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends.

 

35
 

 

In addition, the restrictive covenants contained in the documentation governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios. See “Lazydays’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources”. The Company’s ability to comply with those financial ratios may be affected by events beyond its control, and its failure to comply with these ratios could result in an event of default.

 

The restrictive covenants contained in the documentation governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility may affect the Company’s ability to operate and finance its business as it deems appropriate. The Company’s inability to meet obligations as they become due or to comply with various financial covenants contained in the instruments governing its current or future indebtedness could constitute an event of default under the instruments governing the Company’s indebtedness.

 

If there were an event of default under the instruments governing the Company’s indebtedness, the holders of the affected indebtedness could declare all of the affected indebtedness immediately due and payable, which, in turn, could cause the acceleration of the maturity of all of the Company’s other indebtedness. The Company may not have sufficient funds available, or the Company may not have access to sufficient capital from other sources, to repay any accelerated debt. Even if the Company could obtain additional financing, the terms of such financing may not be favorable to the Company. In addition, substantially all of the Company’s assets are subject to liens securing the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility. If amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Floor Plan Facility were accelerated, the Company’s lenders could foreclose on these liens and the Company could lose substantially all of its assets. Any event of default under the instruments governing the Company’s indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Natural disasters, whether or not caused by climate change, unusual weather condition, epidemic outbreaks, terrorist acts and political events could disrupt business and result in lower sales and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

 

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, floods, hail storms and earthquakes, unusual weather conditions, epidemic outbreaks such as Ebola, Zika virus or measles, terrorist attacks or disruptive political events in certain regions where the Company’s stores are located could adversely affect the Company’s business and result in lower sales. Severe weather, such as heavy snowfall or extreme temperatures, may discourage or restrict customers in a particular region from traveling to the Company’s stores or utilizing the Company’s products, thereby reducing the Company’s sales and profitability. Natural disasters including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, hail storms and earthquakes may damage the Company’s stores or other operations, which may materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company depends on its relationships with third party providers of services, protection plans, products and resources and a disruption of these relationships or of these providers’ operations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

 

The Company’s business depends in part on developing and maintaining productive relationships with third party providers of services, protection plans, products and resources that the Company markets to its customers. Additionally, the Company relies on certain third party providers to support its services, protection plans, products and resources, including insurance carriers for the Company’s property and casualty insurance and extended service contracts, banks and captive financing companies for vehicle financing and refinancing. The Company cannot accurately predict when, or the extent to which, it will experience any disruption in the supply of products from its vendors or services from its third party providers. Any such disruption could negatively impact the Company’s ability to market and sell its services, protection plans, products and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

36
 

 

With respect to the insurance programs that the Company offers, the Company is dependent on the insurance carriers that underwrite the insurance to obtain appropriate regulatory approvals and maintain compliance with insurance regulations. If such carriers do not obtain appropriate state regulatory approvals or comply with such changing regulations, the Company may be required to use an alternative carrier or change its insurance products or cease marketing certain insurance related products in certain states, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Company is required to use an alternative insurance carrier or change its insurance related products, it may materially increase the time required to bring an insurance related product to market. Any disruption in the Company’s service offerings could harm the Company’s reputation and result in customer dissatisfaction.

 

Additionally, the Company provides financing to qualified customers through a number of third party financing providers. If one or more of these third party providers ceases to provide financing to the Company’s customers, provides financing to fewer customers or no longer provides financing on competitive terms, or if the Company is unable to replace the current third party providers upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

A portion of the Company’s revenue is from financing, insurance and extended service contracts, which depend on third party lenders and insurance companies. The Company cannot assure you that third party lending institutions will continue to provide financing for RV purchases.

 

A portion of the Company’s revenue comes from the fees the Company receives from lending institutions and insurance companies for arranging financing and insurance coverage for the Company’s customers. The lending institution pays the Company a fee for each loan that it arranges. If these lenders were to lend to the Company’s customers directly rather than through the Company, the Company would not receive a fee. In addition, if customers prepay financing the Company arranged within a specified period (generally within six months of making the loan), the Company is required to rebate (or “chargeback”) all or a portion of the commissions paid to the Company by the lending institution. The Company’s revenues from financing fees and vehicle service contract fees are recorded net of a reserve for estimated future chargebacks based on historical operating results. Lending institutions may change the criteria or terms they use to make loan decisions, which could reduce the number of customers for whom the Company can arrange financing, or may elect to not continue to provide these products with respect to RVs. The Company’s customers may also use the internet or other electronic methods to find financing alternatives. If any of these events occur, the Company could lose a significant portion of its income and profit.

 

Furthermore, new and used vehicles may be sold and financed through retail installment sales contracts entered into between the Company and third-party purchasers. Prior to entering into a retail installment sales contract with a third-party purchaser, the Company typically has a commitment from a third-party lender for the assignment of such retail installment sales contract, subject to final review, approval and verification of the retail installment sales contract, related documentation and the information contained therein. Retail installment sales contracts are typically assigned by the Company to third-party lenders simultaneously with the execution of the retail installment sales contracts. Contracts in transit represent amounts due from third-party lenders from whom pre-arranged assignment agreements have been determined, and to whom the retail installment sales contract have been assigned. The Company recognizes revenue when the applicable new or used vehicle is delivered and the Company has assigned the retail installment sales contract to a third-party lender and collectability is reasonably assured. Funding from the third-party lender is provided upon receipt, final review, approval and verification of the retail installment sales contract, related documentation and the information contained therein. Retail installment sales contracts are typically funded within ten days of the initial approval of the retail installment sales contract by the third-party lender. Contracts in transit are included in current assets in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and totaled $17.3 million as of September 30, 2017, $9.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and $10.0 million as of December 31, 2015. Any defaults on these retail installment sales contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

37
 

 

If the Company is unable to retain senior executives and attract and retain other qualified employees, the Company’s business might be adversely affected.

 

The Company’s success depends in part on its ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualified managerial, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for these types of personnel is high. The Company may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining the personnel it requires to conduct its operations successfully and, in such an event, the Company’s business could be materially and adversely affected. The Company’s success also depends to a significant extent on the continued service and performance of the Company’s senior management team, including its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William Murnane. The loss of any member of the Company’s senior management team could impair its ability to execute its business plan and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company does not currently maintain key man life insurance policies on any member of its senior management team or other key employees. The Company has entered into an employment agreement with William Murnane, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Holdco has entered into new employment agreements with William Murnane and Maura Berney, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Mergers. Neither Holdco nor the Company has entered into any other employment agreements with other persons.

 

The Company’s business depends on its ability to meet its labor needs.

 

The Company’s success depends in part upon its ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees, including market managers, general managers, sales managers, department managers and sales associates. Qualified individuals of the requisite caliber may be scarce in some areas. If the Company is unable to hire and retain sales associates capable of consistently providing a high level of customer service, as demonstrated by, among other qualities, their enthusiasm for the Company’s culture and knowledge of the Company’s products, the Company’s business could be materially adversely affected. Although none of the Company’s employees is currently covered by collective bargaining agreements, the Company’s employees may elect to be represented by labor unions in the future. If Company employees were to so elect, the Company’s labor costs could increase. Additionally, competition for qualified employees could require the Company to pay higher wages to attract the required number of employees. An inability to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees in the future may delay the planned openings of new stores. Any such delays, any material increases in employee turnover rates at existing stores or any increases in labor costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

The Company primarily leases its retail locations. If the Company is unable to maintain those leases or locate alternative sites for retail locations in its target markets and on terms that are acceptable to it, the Company’s revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.

 

The Company leases most of the real properties where it has operations, including, as of September 30, 2017, four of the five Lazydays retail locations in three states. The Company’s leases generally provide for fixed monthly rentals with escalation clauses and range from five to twenty years. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its existing retail locations as leases expire, extend the leases or be able to locate alternative sites in its target markets and on favorable terms. Any failure to maintain its existing retail locations, extend the leases or locate alternative sites on favorable or acceptable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

38
 

 

The Company’s business is subject to numerous federal, state and local regulations.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to varying degrees of federal, state and local regulation, including regulations with respect to the Company’s RV sales, RV financing, marketing, direct mail, roadside assistance programs and insurance activities. New regulatory efforts may be proposed from time to time that may affect the way the Company operates its businesses. For example, in the past a principal source of leads for the Company’s direct response marketing efforts was new vehicle registrations provided by motor vehicle departments in various states. Currently, all states restrict access to motor vehicle registration information.

 

The Company is also subject to federal and state consumer protection and unfair trade practice laws and regulations relating to the sale, transportation and marketing of motor vehicles. Federal, state and local laws and regulations also impose upon vehicle operators various restrictions on the weight, length and width of motor vehicles that may be operated in certain jurisdictions or on certain roadways. Certain jurisdictions also prohibit the sale of vehicles exceeding length restrictions. Federal and state authorities also have various environmental control standards relating to air, water, noise pollution and hazardous waste generation and disposal which affect the Company’s business and operations.

 

Further, certain federal and state laws and regulations affect the Company’s activities. Areas of the Company’s business affected by such laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, labor, advertising, consumer protection, real estate, promotions, quality of services, intellectual property, tax, import and export, anti-corruption, anti- competition, environmental, health and safety. Compliance with these laws and others may be onerous and costly, at times, and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction which further complicates compliance efforts.

 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which was signed into law on July 21, 2010, established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), an independent federal agency funded by the United States Federal Reserve with broad regulatory powers and limited oversight from the United States Congress. Although automotive dealers are generally excluded, the Dodd-Frank Act could lead to additional, indirect regulation of automotive dealers, in particular, their sale and marketing of finance and insurance products, through its regulation of automotive finance companies and other financial institutions. In March 2013, the CFPB issued supervisory guidance highlighting its concern that the practice of automotive dealers being compensated for arranging customer financing through discretionary markup of wholesale rates offered by financial institutions (“dealer markup”) results in a significant risk of pricing disparity in violation of The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (the “ECOA”). The CFPB recommended that financial institutions under its jurisdiction take steps to address compliance with the ECOA, which may include imposing controls on dealer markup, monitoring and addressing the effects of dealer markup policies, and eliminating dealer discretion to markup buy rates and fairly compensating dealers using a different mechanism.

 

In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”), which was signed into law on March 23, 2010, may increase the Company’s annual employee health care costs that it funds and has increased the Company’s cost of compliance and compliance risk related to offering health care benefits. Efforts to modify, repeal or otherwise invalidate all, or certain provisions of, the Affordable Care Act and/or adopt a replacement healthcare reform law may impact the Company’s employee healthcare costs. At this time, there is uncertainty concerning whether the Affordable Care Act will be repealed or what requirements will be included in a new law, if enacted. If health care costs rise, the Company may experience increased operating costs, which may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, the Company’s property and casualty insurance programs that it offers through third party insurance carriers are subject to state laws and regulations governing the business of insurance, including, without limitation, laws and regulations governing the administration, underwriting, marketing, solicitation or sale of insurance products. The Company’s third party insurance carriers are required to apply for, renew, and maintain licenses issued by state, federal or foreign regulatory authorities. Such regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke such licenses. Accordingly, any failure by such parties to comply with the then current licensing requirements, which may include any determination of financial instability by such regulatory authorities, could result in such regulatory authorities denying third party insurance carriers’ initial or renewal applications for such licenses, modifying the terms of licenses or revoking licenses that they currently possess, which could severely inhibit the Company’s ability to market these insurance products. Additionally, certain state laws and regulations govern the form and content of certain disclosures that must be made in connection with the sale, advertising or offer of any insurance program to a consumer. The Company reviews all marketing materials it disseminates to the public for compliance with applicable insurance regulations. The Company is required to maintain certain licenses and approvals in order to market insurance products.

 

The Company has instituted various and comprehensive policies and procedures to address compliance. However, there can be no assurance that employees, contractors, vendors or the Company’s agents will not violate such laws and regulations or the Company’s policies and procedures.

 

Regulations applicable to the sale of extended service contracts could materially impact the Company’s business and results of operations.

 

The Company offers extended service contracts that may be purchased as a supplement to the original purchaser’s warranty. These products are subject to complex federal and state laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which these products are offered will not seek to regulate or restrict these products. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in fines or other penalties including orders by state regulators to discontinue sales of the warranty products in one or more jurisdictions. Such a result could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Company currently transfers the majority of the administration and liability obligations associated with these extended service contracts to a third party upon purchase by the customer. State laws and regulations, however, may limit or condition the Company’s ability to transfer these administration and liability obligations to third parties, which could in turn impact the way revenue is recognized from these products. Failure to comply with these laws could result in fines or other penalties, including orders by state regulators to discontinue sales of these product offerings as currently structured. Such a result could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If state dealer laws are repealed or weakened, the Company’s dealerships will be more susceptible to termination, non-renewal or renegotiation of dealer agreements.

 

State dealer laws generally provide that a manufacturer may not terminate or refuse to renew a dealer agreement unless it has first provided the dealer with written notice setting forth good cause and stating the grounds for termination or non-renewal. Some state dealer laws allow dealers to file protests or petitions or attempt to comply with the manufacturer’s criteria within a specified notice period to avoid the termination or non-renewal. Manufacturers have been lobbying and continue to lobby for the repeal or revision of state dealer laws. Although the lobbying efforts have been unsuccessful to date, if dealer laws are repealed in the states in which the Company operates, manufacturers may be able to terminate the Company’s dealer agreements without providing advance notice, an opportunity to cure or a showing of good cause. Without the protection of state dealer laws, it may also be more difficult for the Company to renew its dealer agreements upon expiration.

 

40
 

 

The ability of a manufacturer to grant additional dealer agreements is based on a number of factors which the Company cannot control. If manufacturers grant new dealer agreements in areas near the Company’s existing markets, such new dealer agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company’s failure to comply with certain environmental regulations could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company’s operations involve the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling and/or disposal of materials such as motor oil and filters, transmission fluids, antifreeze, refrigerants, paints, thinners, batteries, cleaning products, lubricants, degreasing agents, tires and propane. Consequently, the Company’s business is subject to federal, state and local requirements that regulate the environment and public health and safety. The Company may incur significant costs to comply with such requirements. The Company’s failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could cause the Company to become subject to fines and penalties or otherwise have an adverse impact on the Company’s business. In addition, the Company has indemnified certain of its landlords for any hazardous waste which may be found on or about property the Company leases. If any such hazardous waste were to be found on property that the Company occupies, a significant claim giving rise to the Company’s indemnity obligation could have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emission of “greenhouse gases” could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the RVs the Company sells.

 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has adopted rules under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act that require a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases from motor vehicles. The adoption of any laws or regulations requiring significant increases in fuel economy requirements or new federal or state restrictions on vehicles and automotive fuels in the United States could adversely affect demand for those vehicles and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company may be unable to enforce its intellectual property rights and the Company may be accused of infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company owns a variety of registered trademarks and service marks. The Company believes that its trademarks have significant value and are important to its marketing efforts. If the Company is unable to continue to protect the trademarks and service marks for its proprietary brands, if such marks become generic or if third parties adopt marks similar to the Company’s marks, the Company’s ability to differentiate its products and services may be diminished. In the event that the Company’s trademarks or service marks are successfully challenged by third parties, the Company could lose brand recognition and be forced to devote additional resources to advertising and marketing new brands for its products.

 

From time to time, the Company may be compelled to protect its intellectual property, which may involve litigation. Such litigation may be time-consuming, expensive and distract the Company’s management from running the day-to-day operations of its business, and could result in the impairment or loss of the involved intellectual property. There is no guarantee that the steps the Company takes to protect its intellectual property, including litigation when necessary, will be successful. The loss or reduction of any of the Company’s significant intellectual property rights could diminish the Company’s ability to distinguish its products from competitors’ products and retain its market share for its proprietary products. The Company’s inability to effectively protect the Company’s proprietary intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

41
 

 

Other parties also may claim that the Company infringes on their proprietary rights. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, injunctions against the Company or the payment of damages. These claims could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If the Company is unable to maintain or upgrade its information technology systems or if the Company is unable to convert to alternate systems in an efficient and timely manner, the Company’s operations may be disrupted or become less efficient.

 

The Company depends on a variety of information technology systems for the efficient operation of its business. The Company relies on hardware, telecommunications and software vendors to maintain and periodically upgrade many of these information technology systems so that the Company can continue to operate its business. Various components of the Company’s information technology systems, including hardware, networks, and software, are licensed to the Company by third party vendors. The Company relies extensively on its information technology systems to process transactions, summarize results and efficiently manage its business. Additionally, because the Company accepts debit and credit cards for payment, the Company is subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (the “PCI Standard”), issued by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The PCI Standard contains various compliance guidelines with respect to the Company’s security surrounding the physical and electronic storage, processing and transmission of cardholder data. The Company is currently in compliance with the PCI Standard, however, complying with the PCI Standard and implementing related procedures, technology and information security measures requires significant resources and ongoing attention to compliance. Costs and potential problems and interruptions associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems and technology such as those necessary to maintain compliance with the PCI Standard or with respect to maintenance or support of existing systems could also disrupt or reduce the efficiency of the Company’s operations. Any material interruptions or failures in the Company’s payment-related systems could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Any disruptions to the Company’s information technology systems or breaches of the Company’s network security could interrupt its operations, compromise its reputation, expose it to litigation, government enforcement actions and costly response measures and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company relies on the integrity, security and successful functioning of its information technology systems and network infrastructure across the Company’s operations. The Company uses information technology systems to, among other things, support its consumer services and plans, manage procurement, manage its supply chain, track inventory information at its retail locations, communicate customer information and aggregate daily sales, margin and promotional information. The Company also uses information systems to report and audit its operational results.

 

In connection with sales, the Company transmits encrypted confidential credit and debit card information. Although the Company is currently in compliance with the PCI Standard, there can be no assurance that in the future the Company will be able to remain compliant with the PCI Standard or other industry recommended or contractually required practices. Even if the Company continues to be compliant with such standards, it still may not be able to prevent security breaches.

 

The Company also has access to, collects or maintains private or confidential information regarding its customers, associates and suppliers, as well as the Company’s business. The protection of the Company’s customer, associate, supplier and company data is critical to the Company. The regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding, with the frequent imposition of new and constantly changing requirements across the Company’s business and operations. In addition, the Company’s customers have a high expectation that the Company will adequately protect their personal information from cyber-attacks and other security breaches. The Company has procedures in place to safeguard its customer’s data and information. However, a significant breach of customer, employee, supplier, or company data could attract a substantial amount of negative media attention, damage the Company’s relationships with its customers and suppliers, harm the Company’s reputation and result in lost sales, fines and/or lawsuits.

 

42
 

 

An increasingly significant portion of the Company’s sales depends on the continuing operation of its information technology and communications systems, including but not limited to its point-of-sale system and its credit card processing systems. The Company’s information technology, communication systems and electronic data may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, acts of war or terrorist attacks, floods, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, power loss and outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, loss of data, unauthorized data breaches, usage errors by the Company’s associates or the Company’s contractors or other attempts to harm the Company’s systems, including cyber-security attacks, hacking by third parties, computer viruses or other breaches of cardholder data. Some of the Company’s information technology and communication systems are not fully redundant and the Company’s disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. The occurrence of a natural disaster, intentional sabotage or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in the Company’s information technology and communications systems. Any errors or vulnerabilities in the Company’s information technology and communications systems, or damage to or failure of its information technology and communications systems, could result in interruptions in the Company’s services and non-compliance with certain regulations or expose the Company to risk of litigation and liability, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Increases in the minimum wage could adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

 

From time to time, legislative proposals are made to increase the federal minimum wage in the United States, as well as the minimum wage in a number of individual states. As federal or state minimum wage rates increase, the Company may be required to increase not only the wage rates of the Company’s minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to the Company’s other hourly employees as well. Any increase in the cost of the Company’s labor could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating costs, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company may be subject to product liability claims if people or property are harmed by the products the Company sells.

 

Some of the products the Company sells may expose the Company to product liability claims relating to personal injury, death, or environmental or property damage, and may require product recalls or other actions. Although the Company maintains liability insurance, the Company cannot be certain that its insurance coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to the Company on economically reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, some of the Company’s agreements with its vendors and sellers do not indemnify the Company from losses attributable to product liability. In addition, even if a product liability claim is not successful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding a product recall or any assertion that the products sold by the Company caused property damage or personal injury could damage the Company’s brand image and its reputation with existing and potential consumers and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company may be named in litigation, which may result in substantial costs and reputational harm and divert management’s attention and resources.

 

The Company faces legal risks in its business, including claims from disputes with its employees and its former employees and claims associated with general commercial disputes, product liability and other matters. Risks associated with legal liability often are difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. While the Company maintains director and officer insurance, as well as general and product liability insurance, the amount of insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover a claim and the continued availability of this insurance cannot be assured. Regardless of their subject matter or merits, class action lawsuits may result in significant cost to the Company, which costs may not be covered by insurance, may divert the attention of management or may otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, brand image, financial condition and results of operations. Negative publicity from litigation, whether or not resulting in a substantial cost to the Company, could materially damage the Company’s reputation. The Company may in the future be the target of litigation and any such litigation may result in substantial costs and reputational harm and divert management’s attention and resources. Costs, harm to the Company’s reputation and diversion of management’s attention and resources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

43
 

 

The Company’s risk management policies and procedures may not be fully effective in achieving their purposes.

 

The Company’s policies, procedures, controls and oversight to monitor and manage its enterprise risks may not be fully effective in achieving their purpose and may leave the Company exposed to identified or unidentified risks. Past or future misconduct by the Company’s employees or vendors could result in violations of law by the Company, regulatory sanctions and/or serious reputational or financial harm to the Company. The Company monitors its policies, procedures and controls; however, there can be no assurance that its policies, procedures and controls will be sufficient to prevent all forms of misconduct. The Company reviews its compensation policies and practices as part of the Company’s overall enterprise risk management program, but it is possible that its compensation policies could incentivize inappropriate risk taking or misconduct. If such inappropriate risks or misconduct occurs, it is possible that it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company could incur asset impairment charges for goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets.

 

The Company has a significant amount of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. At least annually, the Company reviews goodwill, trademarks and tradenames for impairment. Long-lived assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from future cash flows. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company’s determination of future cash flows, future recoverability and fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets includes significant estimates and assumptions. Changes in those estimates and/or assumptions or lower than anticipated future financial performance may result in the identification of an impaired asset and a non-cash impairment charge, which could be material. Any such charge could adversely affect the Company

 

Risks Related to the Business Combination

 

Future resales of the shares of common stock of Holdco issued to the Stockholders and the investors in the PIPE Investment may cause the market price of Holdco’s securities to drop significantly, even if Holdco’s business is doing well.

 

Under the merger agreement, the Stockholders, the Optionholders, and the Bonus Payment Recipients will receive, among other things, an aggregate of: (i) 2,857,143 Holdco Shares; and (ii) $85,000,000 in cash. Pursuant to the merger agreement, certain of the Stockholders will be restricted from selling any of the Holdco Shares that they receive as a result of the Transaction Merger during the nine month period after the closing date of the Mergers, subject to certain exceptions. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposals — Sale Restriction; Resale Registration .”

 

Subject to these restrictions, Holdco will enter into a registration rights agreement at the closing of the business combination with certain Stockholders who execute such registration rights agreement pursuant to which such Stockholders will be granted certain demand and “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to their securities. Additionally, the investors in the PIPE Investment will enter into a registration rights agreement granting them certain registration rights. See the section entitled “ The PIPE Proposal .”

 

Furthermore, the Stockholders and investors in the PIPE Investment may sell Holdco Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under a registration statement. In these cases, the resales must meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, including, because Andina and Holdco are currently shell companies, waiting until one year after Holdco’s filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K containing Form 10 type information reflecting the merger with Lazydays.

 

44
 

 

Upon expiration of the applicable lock-up periods (with respect to Stockholders who have executed lock-up agreements), and upon effectiveness of any registration statement Holdco files pursuant to the above-referenced registration rights or upon satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Stockholders and investors in the PIPE Investment may sell large amounts of Holdco Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in Holdco’s stock price or putting significant downward pressure on the price of Holdco’s stock.

 

If Andina shareholders fail to properly demand conversion rights, they will not be entitled to convert their ordinary shares of Andina into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

 

Andina shareholders holding public shares may demand that Andina convert their shares of Andina into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Mergers. Andina shareholders who seek to exercise this conversion right must deliver their shares of Andina (either physically or electronically) to Andina’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. Any Andina shareholder who fails to properly demand conversion rights will not be entitled to convert his or her shares of Andina into a pro rata portion of the trust account for conversion of his shares. See the section entitled “ Extraordinary General Meeting of Andina Shareholders — Conversion Rights ” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares to cash.

 

Public shareholders, together with any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the public shares.

 

A public shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if you hold more than 20% of the public shares and the merger proposals are approved, you will not be able to seek conversion rights with respect to the full amount of your public shares and may be forced to hold the public shares in excess of 20% or sell them in the open market. Andina cannot assure you that the value of such excess public shares will appreciate over time following a business combination or that the market price of Andina’s ordinary shares will exceed the per-share conversion price.

 

Nasdaq may not list Holdco’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Holdco’s securities and subject Holdco to additional trading restrictions.

 

Holdco intends to apply to have its securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Mergers. Holdco will be required to meet the initial listing requirements to be listed. Holdco may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if Holdco’s securities are so listed, Holdco may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

 

If Holdco fails to meet the initial listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange, Holdco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
     
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the company; and
     
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 

45
 

 

Holdco’s ability to request indemnification from the Stockholders for damages arising out of the business combination are limited in certain instances to those claims where damages exceed $1,000,000 and is limited to the cash and shares placed in escrow.

 

At the closing of the business combination, (i) an aggregate of $4,250,000 of cash to be paid as part of the merger consideration and (ii) 142,857 of the Holdco Shares to be issued as part of the merger consideration (“ Indemnity Escrow Fund ”) will be deposited in escrow to provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants by Lazydays. Claims for indemnification may only be asserted (subject to certain exceptions) by Holdco once the damages incurred by Holdco exceed a $1,000,000 deductible, in which event the amount payable from the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be the amount in excess of the deductible. Accordingly, it is possible that Holdco will not be entitled to indemnification even if Lazydays is found to have breached certain of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement if such breaches would only result in damages to Holdco of less than $1,000,000. Also, subject to certain limited exceptions, Holdco’s right to seek indemnification is limited to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and such right expires one year from the closing date of the merger. At such time, the Indemnity Escrow Fund will be released from the escrow to the Stockholders, the Optionholders and the Bonus Payment Recipients, less amounts previously applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to indemnification claims, if any, that are made prior to that date.

 

Andina has not obtained an opinion from an unaffiliated third party that the consideration being delivered to the Lazydays Stockholders in the Transaction Merger is fair to Andina’s shareholders from a financial point of view.

 

In analyzing the transaction with Lazydays, the Andina board, with the assistance from its financial advisors, conducted significant business and financial due diligence on Lazydays. Andina did not obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the consideration being paid in the Transaction Merger to the Lazydays Stockholders is fair to Andina’s public shareholders from a financial point of view since it was not required to do so. The Andina board of directors believes that, because of the financial skills and background of its officers and directors, it was qualified to conclude that the business combination was fair from a financial perspective to its shareholders. However, since no opinion has been obtained, Andina’s shareholders will be relying solely on the judgment of Andina’s board of directors with respect to the merger and its terms. Andina’s board of directors may be incorrect in its assessment of the transaction.

 

Andina’s directors and executive officers have interests that may have influenced their decision to approve the Mergers.

 

Andina’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates beneficially own insider shares of Andina and private units of Andina that they purchased prior to, or simultaneously with, Andina’s initial public offering. Andina’s executive officers and directors and their affiliates have no redemption rights with respect to these securities in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period. Therefore, if the Mergers or another business combination is not approved within the required time period, such securities held by such persons will be worthless. Such securities had an aggregate market value of $15,302,400 based upon the closing prices of the shares and units on Nasdaq on February 12, 2018, the record date. Furthermore, Andina’s officers and directors have loaned Andina an aggregate of $761,166 as of the record date and Andina’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Andina’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. These loans and expenses will be repaid upon completion of the Mergers. However, if Andina fails to consummate the Mergers, they will not have any claim against the trust account for repayment or reimbursement. Accordingly, Andina may not be able to repay or reimburse these amounts if the Mergers are not completed. Additionally, Andina has agreed to pay Hydra Management LLC, an affiliate of A. Lorne Weil, an initial shareholder of Andina and father of B. Luke Weil, Andina’s non-executive chairman, $450,000 upon consummation of the Mergers as compensation for advisory services rendered to Andina. Such payment will not be made if the Mergers are not consummated. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposals — Interests of Andina’s Directors and Officers in the Mergers .”

 

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of Andina’s directors to approve the Mergers and to continue to pursue such business combination. In considering the recommendations of Andina’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposals and other proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

 

B. Luke Weil is liable to ensure that proceeds of the trust are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the Mergers are not consummated. Such liability may have influenced his decision to approve the Mergers.

 

If the Mergers or another business combination is not consummated by Andina within the required time period, B. Luke Weil will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Andina for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Andina, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver agreement. If Andina consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Andina will be liable for all such claims. See the section entitled “ Other Information Related to Andina — Financial Condition and Liquidity ” for further information.

 

46
 

 

These personal obligations of B. Luke Weil may have influenced Andina’s board of director’s decision to approve the business combination with Lazydays and to continue to pursue such business combination. In considering the recommendations of Andina’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposals and other proposals, Andina’s shareholders should consider these interests.

 

EarlyBirdCapital may have had a conflict of interest in rendering services to Andina in connection with the Mergers.

 

Andina engaged EarlyBirdCapital to assist it in connection with the Mergers. Andina is obligated to pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of the Mergers in an amount equal to $1,600,000. If Andina does not consummate a business combination and is forced to liquidate, EarlyBirdCapital will not receive this fee. Additionally, EarlyBirdCapital holds 45,000 units of Andina which will be worthless if Andina does not consummate a business combination. As a result, these financial interests may have resulted in EarlyBirdCapital having a conflict of interest in providing the services to Andina in connection with the Mergers.

 

The exercise of Andina’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Mergers may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Mergers or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Andina’s shareholders’ best interest.

 

In the period leading up to the closing of the Mergers, events may occur that, pursuant to the merger agreement, would require Andina to agree to amend the merger agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Lazydays or to waive rights that Andina is entitled to under the merger agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Lazydays’ business, a request by Lazydays to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the merger agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Lazydays’ business and would entitle Andina to terminate the merger agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Andina’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or they may believe is best for Andina and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, Andina does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Andina’s directors and officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the merger proposals has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, Andina will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus/information statement and resolicit Andina’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the merger proposals.

 

If Andina is unable to complete the business combination with Lazydays or another business combination by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve), Andina will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Andina and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by shareholders could be less than $10.30 per share.

 

Under the terms of Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, Andina must complete the Mergers with Lazydays or another business combination by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve), or Andina must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Andina. Although Andina has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Andina’s public shareholders. If Andina is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, B. Luke Weil has agreed he will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Andina for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Andina, but only if such a vendor or prospective target business does not execute such a waiver. However, he may not be able to meet such obligation. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than $10.30 due to such claims.

 

47
 

 

Additionally, if Andina is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, or if Andina otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, Andina may not be able to return to its public shareholders at least $10.30.

 

Andina’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Andina to the extent of distributions received by them.

 

If Andina is unable to complete the Mergers or another business combination within the required time period, Andina will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, liquidating and dissolving, subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Andina cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against Andina. As such, Andina’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its shareholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, Andina cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its shareholders amounts owed to them by Andina.

 

If Andina is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/ creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Andina’s shareholders. Furthermore, because Andina intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public shareholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public shareholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, Andina’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and the company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Andina cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

 

Activities taken by existing Andina shareholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the merger proposals and other proposals could have a depressive effect on Andina’s ordinary shares.

 

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Andina or its securities, Andina’s initial shareholders, officers, directors, Lazydays or the Stockholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Andina from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire ordinary shares of Andina or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposals. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to consummate the Mergers where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Andina’s ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares of Andina at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares of Andina he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

 

48
 

 

The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to be sold in the PIPE Investment into Holdco Shares may dilute the value for the other holders of Holdco Shares.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock to be sold in the PIPE Investment is convertible into Holdco Shares. As a result of the conversion of any issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, the existing holders of Holdco Shares will own a smaller percentage of the outstanding Holdco Shares. Further, additional Holdco Shares may be issuable pursuant to certain other features of the Series A Preferred Stock, with such issuances being further dilutive to existing holders of Holdco Shares. See the section titled “ The PIPE Proposal ” for further details relating to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock to be outstanding upon consummation of the Mergers and the PIPE Investment.

 

If Series A Preferred Stock is converted into Holdco Shares, holders of such converted Holdco Shares will be entitled to the same dividend and distribution rights as other holders of Holdco Shares. As such, another dilutive effect resulting from the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be a dilution to dividends and distributions receivable on account of Holdco Shares.

 

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will own a large portion of the voting power of the Holdco Shares and have the right to nominate two members to Holdco’s board of directors. As a result, these holders may influence the composition of the board of directors of Holdco and future actions taken by the board of directors of Holdco.

 

The purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock in the PIPE Investment will be entitled to vote upon all matters upon which holders of Holdco Shares have the right to vote and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of full Holdco Shares into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted at the then applicable conversion rate. Accordingly, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will hold approximately 35.3% of the voting power of Holdco on an as-converted basis (assuming that no holders of public shares exercise their conversion rights). This percentage will increase to the extent holders of public shares do exercise their conversion rights. As a result, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may have the ability to influence future actions by Holdco requiring shareholder approval.

 

Further, the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock provides that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to nominate for election two individuals to Holdco’s board of directors. As a result, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be able influence the composition of the board and, in turn, potentially influence and impact future actions taken by the board of directors of Holdco.

 

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have certain rights following the consummation of the Mergers that may not allow Holdco to take certain actions.

 

Pursuant to the certificate of designations governing the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock must consent to Holdco taking certain actions, including among others, the increase in the number of directors constituting Holdco’s board above eight members, the incurrence of certain indebtedness and the sale of certain assets. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are not obligated to consent to any specific action and there can be no assurance that the holders will consent to any action Holdco’s board determines is in the best interests of its stockholders as a whole.

 

Additionally, the purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock have been granted a right of first refusal on certain debt financings. Pursuant to this right, the purchasers will have 15 business days to determine whether they want to undertake a covered debt financing. This may delay Holdco’s ability to undertake a debt financing and may cause certain third parties to be less willing to engage in any debt financing with Holdco.

 

Risks If the Adjournment Proposal Is Not Approved

 

If the adjournment proposal is not approved, and Andina is unable to consummate the Mergers for any reason, Andina’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date, and, therefore, the Mergers will not be approved.

 

Andina’s board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates if, at the extraordinary general meeting, Andina is unable to consummate the Mergers. If the adjournment proposal is not approved, Andina’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to consummate the Mergers. In such event, the Mergers would not be completed.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF ANDINA SHAREHOLDERS

 

General

 

Andina is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement to Andina’s shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by Andina’s board of directors for use at the extraordinary general meeting of Andina shareholders to be held on March 15, 2018, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus/information statement provides Andina’s shareholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

Date, Time and Place

 

The extraordinary general meeting of Andina will be held on March 15, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Andina’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10174, United States of America.

 

Purpose of the Andina Extraordinary General Meeting

 

At the extraordinary general meeting, Andina is asking holders of Andina ordinary shares to:

 

 

consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve the Redomestication Merger and the Transaction Merger (merger proposals);

     
  elect seven directors who, upon consummation of the Mergers, will be the directors of Holdco (director election proposal);
     
  consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Andina’s current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Lazydays Holdings, Inc.” as opposed to “Andina Acquisition Corp. II”; (ii) Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, as opposed to Andina having 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Andina’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Andina within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contains (charter proposals);
     
  consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the Holdco 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (incentive compensation plan proposal);
     
  consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the $94.8 million PIPE investment (PIPE proposal); and
     
  consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary (adjournment proposal).

 

Recommendation of Andina Board of Directors

 

Andina’s board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger proposals, the director election proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal, the PIPE proposal and the adjournment proposal are fair to and in the best interests of Andina and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of the merger proposals, “FOR” the election of all of the persons nominated by Andina’s management for election as directors, “FOR” each of the charter proposals, “FOR” the incentive compensation plan proposal, “FOR” the PIPE proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, if presented.

 

51
 

 

Record Date; Persons Entitled to Vote

 

Andina has fixed the close of business on February 12, 2018, as the “record date” for determining Andina shareholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the close of business on February 12, 2018, there were 3,441,879 ordinary shares of Andina outstanding and entitled to vote. Each Andina ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

Pursuant to agreements with Andina, the 1,000,000 initial shares held by the initial shareholders, the shares included in the 310,000 private units held by the initial shareholders and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and any ordinary shares acquired in the aftermarket by such shareholders, will be voted in favor of the merger proposals. Such holders have indicated they intend to vote their shares in favor of the other proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

Quorum

 

The presence, in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy, of the holders of a majority of all the issued and outstanding Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

 

Abstentions present in person and by proxy are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be treated as shares voted on the merger proposals, the charter proposals, the compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal (if presented). Broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be treated as shares voted on any particular matter. A broker non-vote will have no effect on the merger proposals, the charter proposals, the compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal (if presented). Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the director election proposal. Please note that holders of the public shares of Andina cannot seek conversion of their shares unless they affirmatively vote for or against both of the merger proposals.

 

Vote Required

 

The approval of each of the merger proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions present in person and by proxy are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the merger proposals. Broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, but as not being eligible to vote on a particular proposal. A broker non-vote will have no effect on the merger proposals.

 

The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the Andina ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares of Andina not voted “FOR” a particular nominee (whether as a result of an abstention, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on such proposal.

 

The approval by special resolution of the charter proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions present in person and by proxy are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the charter proposals. Broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, but as not being eligible to vote on a particular proposal. A broker non-vote will have no effect on the charter proposals.

 

The approval by ordinary resolution of the incentive compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal (if presented), will require the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the holders of Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and therefore have no effect on the incentive compensation plan proposal or the adjournment proposal (if presented).

Voting Your Shares

 

Each ordinary share of Andina that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of ordinary shares of Andina that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

 

There are two ways to vote your ordinary shares of Andina at the extraordinary general meeting:

 

 

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares of Andina as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares of Andina, your shares of Andina will be voted as recommended by Andina’s board “FOR” each of the merger proposals, the election of all of the persons nominated by Andina’s management for election as directors, each of the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal, the PIPE proposal and the adjournment proposal, if presented. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the extraordinary general meeting will not be counted.

     
 

You Can Attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and Vote in Person . You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares of Andina are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Andina can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of Andina.

 

Revoking Your Proxy

 

If you are a shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

 

  you may send another proxy card with a later date;
     
  you may notify Andina’s transfer agent, in writing, before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or
     
  you may attend the extraordinary general meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

 

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

 

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares of Andina, you may call Advantage Proxy, Andina’s proxy solicitor, at 877-870-8565.

 

Conversion Rights

 

Holders of public shares of Andina may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the merger proposals. Any shareholder holding public shares as of the record date who votes in favor of or against both of the merger proposals may demand that Andina convert such shares into a full pro rata portion of the trust account (which was $10.30 per share as of February 12, 2018, the record date), calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Mergers. If a holder properly seeks conversion as described in this section and the Mergers are consummated, Andina will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Mergers.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public shareholder will not be converted to cash.

 

53
 

 

Andina’s initial shareholders will not have conversion rights with respect to any ordinary shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

 

Andina shareholders who seek to convert their public shares must affirmatively vote for or against both of the merger proposals. Andina shareholders who do not vote with respect to both of the merger proposals, including as a result of an abstention or a broker non-vote, may not convert their shares of Andina into cash. Holders may demand conversion by (A) either checking the box on their proxy card or by submitting their request in writing to Andina’s transfer agent and (B) delivering their shares of Andina, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Andina’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. If you hold the shares of Andina in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares of Andina certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be converted into cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares of Andina or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the converting shareholder. In the event the proposed business combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares of Andina.

 

Any request to convert such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the merger proposals. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its conversion and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

 

If the Mergers are not approved or completed for any reason, then Andina’s public shareholders who elected to exercise their conversion rights will not be entitled to convert their shares of Andina into a full pro rata portion of the trust account. In such case, Andina will promptly return any shares of Andina delivered by public holders. If Andina would be left with less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon consummation of the Mergers as a result of the holders of public shares properly demanding conversion of their shares, Andina will not be able to consummate the Mergers.

 

The closing price of Andina ordinary shares on February 12, 2018 was $10.33. The cash held in the trust account on such date was $21,958,353.70 ($10.30 per public share). Prior to exercising conversion rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Andina ordinary shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price. Andina cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their ordinary shares of Andina in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares of Andina.

 

If a holder of public shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its ordinary shares of Andina for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you affirmatively vote for or against both of the merger proposals, properly demand conversion no later than the close of the vote on the merger proposals, and deliver your share certificate (either physically or electronically) to Andina’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting, and the Mergers are consummated.

 

54
 

 

Appraisal Rights

 

Neither shareholders of Andina nor holders of units, rights or warrants of Andina have appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers under Cayman Islands law.

 

The Stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction Merger under Delaware law. For more information about such rights, see the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL attached hereto as Annex E and the section entitled “The Merger Proposals—Appraisal Rights”.

 

Proxy Solicitation Costs

 

Andina is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Andina and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Andina will bear the cost of the solicitation.

 

Andina has hired Advantage Proxy to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Andina has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy an aggregate of $4,000 for the foregoing services. Advantage Proxy previously assisted Andina in coordinating the shareholder meeting held on October 31, 2017 to extend the time Andina had to complete an initial business combination. Advantage Proxy also served as a liaison with Andina’s investors, brokers and corporate action departments throughout the voting period.

 

Andina will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Andina will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

 

Andina Initial Shareholders

 

As of February 12, 2018, the record date, Andina’s initial shareholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,000,000 initial shares of Andina that were issued prior to Andina’s initial public offering. These individuals and entities (along with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc.) also purchased an aggregate of 310,000 private units simultaneously with the consummation of Andina’s initial public offering. The shares of Andina included in these securities currently constitute approximately 38.1% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Andina. In connection with the initial public offering, the holders of these securities agreed to vote the initial shares of Andina, the shares of Andina included in the private units as well as any ordinary shares acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of the merger proposals. The Andina initial shareholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The initial shares and private units have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Andina.

 

In connection with the initial public offering, the Andina initial shareholders entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which their initial shares of Andina are held in escrow and may not be transferred (subject to limited exceptions) until, with respect to 50% of such initial shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of Andina’s ordinary shares exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of an initial business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of such initial shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to the initial business combination, Andina consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

55
 

 

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Andina or its securities, the Andina initial shareholders, Lazydays or the Stockholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Andina from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire ordinary shares of Andina or vote their shares of Andina in favor of the merger proposals. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to complete the Mergers where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Andina initial shareholders for nominal value.

 

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Andina ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares of Andina at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

 

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the business combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares of Andina by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposals and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Andina will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposals or the net tangible asset threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

THE MERGER PROPOSALS

 

The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement of the Mergers and the principal terms of the merger agreement is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the merger agreement. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

Structure of the Mergers

 

Pursuant to the merger agreement, (i) Andina will merge with and into Holdco in the Redomestication Merger, with Holdco being the surviving entity of such merger and (ii) immediately after the consummation of the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Lazydays in the Transaction Merger, with Lazydays being the surviving entity of such merger and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Surviving Pubco. The following is an organizational chart depicting the structure of the companies after the Redomestication Merger and prior to the Transaction Merger, and then after consummation of the Transaction Merger:

 

 

Upon consummation of the Redomestication Merger,

 

  each ordinary share of Andina will be exchanged for one Holdco Share, except that holders of public shares of Andina shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Andina’s trust account, as provided in Andina’s charter documents;

Background of the Mergers

 

On December 1, 2015, Andina closed its initial public offering of 4,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one Andina ordinary share, one right to receive one-seventh (1/7) of one Andina ordinary share upon consummation of an initial business combination and one warrant to purchase one half of one Andina ordinary share at a purchase price of $11.50 per full share upon consummation of an initial business combination. The units from the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $40,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Andina consummated the private sale of 310,000 units (with the same composition as those sold in the public offering) to its initial stockholders at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $3,100,000.

 

In connection with the initial public offering, Andina engaged EarlyBirdCapital to assist it in connection with its initial business combination. The services to be performed by EarlyBirdCapital pursuant to this arrangement (and which it performed for Andina in connection with the transaction with Lazydays) included assisting Andina in holding meetings with shareholders to discuss potential business combinations and the attributes of any particular target business, introducing Andina to potential investors that may be interested in purchasing Andina’s securities in connection with the business combination, assisting Andina in obtaining shareholder approval for the business combination and assisting Andina with press releases and certain public filings in connection with the business combination. Pursuant to this arrangement, Andina will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to $1,600,000.

 

Promptly following Andina’s initial public offering, Andina commenced consideration of potential target businesses with the objective of consummating a business combination. Andina sought out potential target businesses based on internal research and through the networks of relationships of Andina’s management, board of directors and with professional service providers (lawyers, accountants, consultants, finders and investment bankers). Andina educated these parties on its structure as a special purpose acquisition company and its criteria for an acquisition. Andina also responded to inquiries from investment bankers or other similar professionals who represented companies engaged in a sale or financing process. On a regular basis, Andina’s directors were updated with respect to the status of the business combination search. Input received from Andina’s directors was material to Andina’s management’s evaluation of a potential business combination.

 

In evaluating potential business combination targets, Andina used certain criteria, which included the opportunity to increase revenues through organic growth and acquisitions, the potential for strong free cash flow generation, the experience and motivation of the management team and the competitive position of the target and its industry’s dynamics. Andina narrowed its focus based on the interest expressed by potential targets and the suitability of each potential target as a potential acquisition candidate.

 

Based on initial screening efforts and criteria evaluation, Andina compiled a pipeline of priority potential targets and updated and supplemented such pipeline from time to time. This pipeline and related developments were discussed periodically with Andina’s board of directors. During this period, Andina and its representatives:

 

Identified and preliminarily evaluated more than 75 potential acquisition targets;
     
Conducted initial business and financial due diligence or had meaningful discussions with representatives of approximately 15 potential acquisition targets;
     
Provided an initial non-binding indication of interest to six potential acquisition targets; and
     
Executed a letter of intent and commenced further diligence with respect to three potential acquisition targets.

 

58
 

 

After the completion of the initial public offering in December 2015, representatives of Andina engaged in extensive discussions with several financial advisors with experience in, among other things, industrial, manufacturing, transportation, logistics and services sectors within Latin America which management believed might increase the likelihood of Andina locating potential acquisition opportunities. In January 2016, Andina engaged Credicorp Capital Colombia S.A. (“CCC”) as a financial advisor, focusing on potential business combination targets in the Andean region.

 

On May 25, 2016, Julio Torres, Andina’s chief executive officer, and Mauricio Orellana, Andina’s chief financial officer, met with the principal shareholder of a prospective target company headquartered in Colombia that met the Andina board’s investment criteria (“Company A”). That initial meeting was followed by detailed discussions with representatives of Company A regarding a potential merger with Andina. On June 23, 2016, Andina entered into a mutual non-disclosure agreement with Company A. After several meetings and diligence sessions, including a visit to its manufacturing facilities, Andina submitted a non-binding indication of interest to Company A on August 30, 2016. On August 31, 2016, the indication of interest was approved and executed by Company A’s board of directors.

 

On September 15, 2016, a letter of intent was executed between Andina and Company A. Andina engaged a law firm to conduct legal and tax due diligence while Andina’s management team performed its detailed business, financial and accounting due diligence. During the months of November and December of 2016, all due diligence was completed. In February 2017, a draft merger agreement was prepared along with an investor presentation that described the highlights of the proposed transaction. However, on March 6, 2017, Company A and Andina mutually terminated negotiations as the parties could not agree to final terms. Specifically, if Company A could not meet certain performance and financial targets, the total consideration would not satisfy the economic requirements of Company A’s shareholders as the business combination would have resulted in additional dilution from what the controlling shareholders were willing to accept.

 

In April 2016, representatives of Andina met with the chief executive officer and largest shareholder of another prospective acquisition candidate headquartered in Colombia that met the Andina board’s investment criteria (“Company B”). In May 2016, a non-disclosure agreement was executed between Andina and Company B. Andina sent a letter of intent to Company B on September 15, 2016. In October 2016, terms of the letter of intent were agreed to. Since Andina was concurrently pursuing a separate transaction with Company A, legal due diligence and a draft merger agreement with Company B were delayed. Following Andina and Company A’s mutual decision to terminate discussions to pursue a transaction, Andina’s management team resumed due diligence with Company B. On March 31, 2017, Company B informed Andina that it had agreed to an alternative investment from a third-party investor. The parties then discussed the possibility of engaging in a three-way transaction among Company B, Andina and the third-party investor. However, in June 2017, Company B and Andina mutually terminated negotiations as the parties could not agree to final terms, primarily due to a disagreement with the third-party investor on the timing and process required to complete all documentation and closing requirements before Andina’s original liquidation date.

 

Between February and June of 2017, Andina submitted initial non-binding indications of interest to three other companies in Latin America. Andina and representatives of the three companies were unable to agree to transaction terms and therefore Andina was not able to pursue a transaction with any of these companies.

 

In June 2017, a representative of Craig-Hallum Capital Group (“Craig-Hallum”) contacted EarlyBirdCapital and Graubard Miller to present the Lazydays opportunity based on the premise that its majority shareholder, Wayzata Investment Partners LLC (“Wayzata”), was interested in selling a controlling interest in Lazydays or was interested in having all of the capital stock of Lazydays sold in its entirety. Craig-Hallum believed that Lazydays would be an appropriate target candidate for a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). Craig-Hallum therefore contacted David Miller of Graubard Miller and Steve Levine of EarlyBirdCapital on a no-names basis to discuss and explore whether they were aware of any SPACs that would potentially be interested in pursuing such a transaction. Furthermore, Craig-Hallum noted that it could assist in raising any capital needed for a SPAC to acquire Lazydays.   

 

Despite Lazydays being a U.S. based company and not in Andina’s target geographic focus, the financial profile and growth strategy of Lazydays led both EarlyBirdCapital and Craig-Hallum to determine that the opportunity was suitable for Andina to pursue. EarlyBirdCapital therefore recommended that Craig-Hallum contact the Andina management team to propose the opportunity to acquire Lazydays.

 

Soon after the introduction of the Lazydays opportunity to Andina, Andina’s management team decided to consider the opportunity for further analysis and on June 16, 2017, executed a non-disclosure agreement with Lazydays. On June 27, 2017, representatives of Andina and Craig-Hallum visited Lazydays’ headquarters and flagship dealership in Tampa, Florida. Andina held discussions with William Murnane, Lazydays’ CEO, Maura Berney, Lazydays’ CFO, and several other senior executives of Lazydays. The meeting in Tampa included a review of Lazydays’ background, financial performance and growth strategy.

On July 12, 2017, Andina submitted to Lazydays a non-binding letter of intent (the “First LOI”) to acquire Lazydays, incorporating input from Craig-Hallum and EarlyBirdCapital. The LOI contemplated a total equity value of $110 million (the “Purchase Price”), based on a multiple of 4.0x the trailing twelve month estimated EBITDA as of June 30, 2017. This EBITDA figure was a preliminary estimate and based on management accounts under AICPA accounting standards. Andina proposed to pay 75% of the consideration ($82.5 million) in cash and the balance in the form of stock. On July 14, 2017, representatives of Andina, Lazydays and Wayzata held a conference call to discuss the terms of the First LOI. Lazydays accepted the Purchase Price but proposed a higher percentage of the total consideration being paid in the form of cash. On July 19, 2017, Andina submitted a revised non-binding letter of intent (the “Final LOI”), adjusted to reflect that at least $82.5 million of the total consideration be paid in cash (and, accordingly, more could be paid in cash depending on what funds Andina had available to it at closing). Lazydays agreed to the revised terms and on July 20, 2017, Andina and Lazydays executed the Final LOI, granting Andina exclusivity to negotiate a merger agreement through September 5, 2017.

 

Given that the total consideration to Lazydays shareholders required a significant cash component, the Andina management team determined that it would need to have additional capital committed outside of the proceeds held in Andina’s trust account. It was determined that the financing commitments would be obtained prior to signing the definitive merger agreement. Therefore, after consultation with Craig-Hallum and EarlyBirdCapital, the Andina management team determined that the most appropriate financing source was a private placement offering in the form of a PIPE Investment. Andina did not consider any alternative financing arrangements.

 

On July 26, 2017, Andina engaged Craig-Hallum as both its financial advisor and its private placement agent to raise capital through the PIPE Investment in connection with the Lazydays transaction. Andina selected Craig-Hallum as its advisor due to Craig-Hallum’s extensive transaction experience and overall knowledge in both the automotive and dealership industries in the U.S. Craig-Hallum’s engagement was viewed as a complement to the advisory services that EarlyBirdCapital was providing to Andina. Furthermore, Craig-Hallum has a successful history of private placement transactions due to its broad network of institutional investors. Throughout their engagement, Craig-Hallum assisted Andina in preparing valuation analyses and marketing materials for the private placement offering (including an investor presentation which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission).

 

During the following weeks, the parties and their respective representatives and advisors were in regular communication regarding the potential transaction, including the definitive transaction agreements and other matters. Andina engaged legal counsel to conduct legal due diligence and Marcum LLP to conduct a quality of earnings analysis (“QoE”) on Lazydays. At the direction of Andina, Marcum performed customary accounting and financial due diligence procedures requiring the expertise of accountants. The procedures were applied to Lazydays’ financial information for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 and the trailing twelve month period ended June 30, 2017. The specific steps Andina requested Marcum to perform and major areas Andina directed Marcum to address were outlined in a scoping document approved by Andina’s management team. The engagement principally called for Marcum to:

 

(i) Conduct, principally by inquiry and reading relevant documents, a business overview to assist Andina in obtaining an understanding of the business through the eyes of Lazydays’ management,
   
(ii) Tie in relevant financial information (which Andina relied upon) into Lazydays’ books and records,
   
(iii) Investigate the business activity underlying the composition of revenues and gross profit margins,
   
(iv) Analyze and analytically review the general and administrative expense structure of the business,
   
(v) Inspect Lazydays’ presentation of Management Adjusted EBITDA and explain management’s adjustments included in the EBITDA calculation,
   
(vi) Analyze and explain the composition of Lazydays’ assets and liabilities to obtain relevant information principally about its financial condition, which assets specifically correlate to the core operating cycles of the business, differentiate trade and capital financing and whether any information exists to suggest that changes to the EBITDA calculation could be necessary,
   
(vii) Correlate Andina’s understanding of the business and reporting under GAAP to its cash flow and working capital characteristics and,
   
(viii) Identify any potential tax risks.  

 

The results of Marcum’s work were communicated to the Andina management team in a draft report that was supplement by oral discussions of the most relevant findings. Examples of observations most critical to Andina are as follows:

 

The business overview corroborated Andina’s understanding of the business and enabled us to correlate such understanding to the relevant financial information;
   
The financial statements and related data supplied to Andina by Lazydays was anchored to its books and records and presented consistently for the relevant audited and unaudited reporting periods;
   
Andina obtained a more refined understanding of the underlying composition of year over year revenues and gross profit margins for new and used vehicles and specific product categories and relevant trends such as motorized and towable units;
   
How vehicle service and other revenues such as fees received for referring customers to third party finance sources and extended warranty coverage plans correlate to new and used vehicle sales and the amount by which they impacted reported margins and EBITDA;
   
Year over year revenues by location;
   
Key terms of the Lazydays’ floor plan financing arrangement and its relevance to Lazydays’ trade financing cycle;
   
Amount of inventory purchase sold by OEM’s and the types of arrangements that Lazydays has with OEM’s in considering the risks of economy dependencies;
   
Analysis of management’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA by reconciling it back to a U.S. GAAP basis net income and explained management’s determination of one time, unusual and non-recurring charges and credits and proposed certain diligence adjustments;
   

Composition of assets and liabilities; and

   
Computation of debt free/tax free working capital and operating cash flows using amounts derived from the historical records.

 

Marcum was not asked to, and did not, express any opinion or judgment relating to its observations. Marcum also was not asked to, and did not, prepare any report, opinion or appraisal relating to the consideration or the fairness of the consideration to be offered in the transaction. Andina engaged Marcum to perform a QoE analysis primarily due to Lazydays’ lack of audited financials under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards. The experience of Marcum in similar engagements and its familiarity with Andina were critical in this respect. Concurrently, Lazydays engaged Marcum LLP to perform an audit of its financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

In August 2017, representatives from Andina, Lazydays and Craig-Hallum met with prospective institutional investors in connection with the PIPE Investment, including, among others, Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum”). On August 20, 2017, Andina and Coliseum executed a non-binding term sheet for an investment in the form of convertible preferred stock of Andina. On September 22, 2017, Coliseum and Andina amended the terms of the term sheet.

 

While Andina and Lazydays agreed to extend the period of mutual exclusivity to September 30, 2017, representatives from Craig-Hallum and Lazydays continued to meet with prospective investors during September 2017, and received non-binding indications of interest for the remainder of the PIPE Investment in the form of convertible preferred stock, common stock and warrants of Andina.

 

The mutual exclusivity agreement between Andina and Lazydays was subsequently extended to October 20, 2017 and finally to October 31, 2017.

 

In October 2017, Craig-Hallum engaged legal counsel to prepare the documentation of the PIPE Investment. The documentation included securities purchase agreements for the convertible preferred stock, common stock and warrants.

 

During the period between the delivery of Andina’s non-binding letter of intent and the completion of the negotiations for the merger agreement, numerous telephone calls and e-mails were exchanged between the parties and their representatives and advisors. Andina’s management team completed all business, financial, accounting, tax and legal due diligence. Furthermore, numerous telephone calls and e-mails were exchanged between the Andina management team and members of its board of directors.

On October 25, 2017, a telephonic meeting of Andina’s board of directors was held. All of the Andina directors were present at the meeting. Although B. Luke Weil, one of the Andina directors, has certain interests that are impacted by whether or not Andina consummates a business combination (as described under the heading “- Interests of Andina’s Directors and Officers in the Mergers ”), the Andina board did not feel it was necessary to exclude him from the deliberations on the transaction with Lazydays as he was not affiliated with Lazydays in any manner. In addition to the Andina board members, the following invited individuals were also present: Eric Carrera, Andina’s senior vice president, Marjorie Hernandez, Andina’s secretary and treasurer, and Jeffrey M. Gallant and Jeffery Richbourg of Graubard Miller, Andina’s transaction counsel. Prior to the meeting, copies of the most recent drafts of the significant transaction documents, in substantially final form, were delivered to the directors and other attendees. At the meeting, Andina’s board of directors reviewed the search for a merger candidate, including the process of identifying potential targets and those potential targets that were provided a preliminary letter of intent, as described in detail above, but with whom no definitive agreement was ultimately executed. Mr. Carrera then led a discussion regarding the business and financial position of Lazydays. Andina’s board of directors also considered in detail the structure of the transaction and other material provisions of the merger agreement, including such terms as consideration to be paid to the Stockholders, the representations and warranties made by the parties to the merger agreement and each party’s conditions to closing. As part of these discussions, Andina’s board of directors evaluated the fair market value of Lazydays as described more fully under “ Andina’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination — Valuation ” and determined that the transaction satisfied the Nasdaq listing requirement that Lazydays have a fair market value of at least 80% of the funds held in the trust account. Following such discussion, the merger agreement and related documents were unanimously approved by Andina’s board of directors, subject to final negotiations and modifications, and Andina’s board of directors determined to recommend the approval of the merger agreement.

 

The merger agreement was signed by the parties on October 27, 2017. Prior to the market open on October 30, 2017, Andina and Lazydays issued a press release announcing the execution and main terms of the merger agreement. Andina also filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which included the press release and the merger agreement.

 

Prior to market open on November 1, 2017, Andina filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which included an investor presentation that highlighted the terms and rationale of the transaction. At 11:00am ET, representatives of Andina and Lazydays, including Andina director B. Luke Weil, Lazydays CEO William Murnane and CFO Maura Berney held an investor conference call to discuss the transaction.

 

The parties and their respective representatives have continued and expect to continue regular discussions regarding the execution of the business combination.

 

Andina’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

 

The consideration to be paid to the Stockholders in the merger agreement was determined by several factors. Andina’s board of directors reviewed various industry and financial data in order to determine that the consideration to be paid to Lazydays was fair from a financial point of view and that the business combination was in the best interests of Andina’s shareholders.

 

Andina, with assistance from Craig-Hallum and EarlyBirdCapital, conducted a due diligence review of Lazydays that included an industry overview, an in-depth review of Lazydays’ historical and projected financial results and a valuation analysis in order to enable its board of directors to ascertain the fairness of the consideration being paid. In addition, the board of directors reviewed the material factual observations from the Marcum QoE report. Based on the fact that these material observations did not contradict any information received during the due diligence review, the board reaffirmed its position that the consideration to be offered was fair and the transaction was in the best interests of Andina shareholders.

 

Andina and its advisors determined that the RV market was experiencing highly favorable industry trends. As per the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, more than 9 million households own an R.V., a 16% increase since 2001. Industry R.V. shipments in the United States have grown from approximately 252,300 in 2011 to 430,700 in 2016, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 11%, This growth in shipments is underpinned by the large gains in R.V. ownership rates by Millennial and Generation X consumers. Furthermore, as baby boomers continue to retire, it is anticipated that they will provide a pipeline of new potential customers in the future. In addition to positive industry trends, Lazydays’ management believes that the R.V. dealership market is highly fragmented and can be consolidated by larger companies with strong capital structures. Andina’s board reviewed these factors and determined that the R.V. industry exhibits compelling growth prospects and consolidation opportunities.

 

In October 2017, the Lazydays management team provided Andina with its audited historical financial statements for fiscal years 2015 and 2016, preliminary historical unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and estimated Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017. The Adjusted EBITDA estimate was disclosed to Andina for use as a component in its overall evaluation of Lazydays, and is included in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement for that reason. The estimate was not prepared with a view to public disclosure or in compliance with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information.

 

Lazydays has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the estimate to anyone, including to Andina. Neither Lazydays’ management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Lazydays compared to the information contained in the estimate, and none of them undertakes or intends to undertake any obligation to update or otherwise revise the estimate to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the estimate are shown to be in error. Accordingly, the estimate should not be looked upon as “guidance” of any sort. Holdco will not refer back to this estimate in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Note: Figures in the table may not recalculate exactly due to rounding.

 

Andina’s management primarily relied upon a comparable company analysis to assess the value that the public markets would likely ascribe to Lazydays following a business combination with Andina and this analysis was presented to the board. The relative valuation analysis was based on publicly-traded companies in the automotive and dealership sectors, which were determined to be most comparable. The comparable companies the Andina board reviewed within these sectors were Camping World Holdings, Inc. (“Camping World”), MarineMax, Inc. (“MarineMax”), Titan Machinery Inc., (“Titan Machinery”), Lithia Motors, Inc. (“Lithia Motors”), Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (“Asbury Automotive”) and Harley-Davidson, Inc. (“Harley-Davidson”). These companies were selected by Andina, with the assistance of Craig-Hallum and EarlyBirdCapital, as the publicly traded companies having businesses most similar to Lazydays’ business in the R.V. dealership sector in the United States.

 

Andina’s board of directors reviewed, among other things, the enterprise values of the selected companies, enterprise values as a multiple of revenue and EBITDA for the trailing twelve months, and gross margin percentage for the trailing twelve months.

 

The enterprise values, multiples and growth rates for the selected comparable companies are summarized in the table below:

 

($ in millions)   Enterprise
Value (1)(2)
    EV / LTM Revenue     EV / LTM EBITDA     Gross Margin %  
Camping World   $ 3,504       0.9x     10.2x     28.8 %
MarineMax   $ 308       0.3x     5.1x     24.8 %
Titan Machinery   $ 427       0.4x     15.8x     17.5 %
Lithia Motors   $ 3,152       0.3x     7.2x     15.0 %
Asbury Automotive   $ 2,005       0.3x     5.9x     16.2 %
Harley-Davidson   $ 13,300       2.4x     11.0x     34.7 %

 

(1) As of August 11 th , 2017
(2) Enterprise Value excludes floor plan debt and used vehicles lines of credit

 

Andina’s management determined that the closest comparable company to Lazydays was Camping World, one of its direct competitors. Although the comparable company multiples spanned from 5.1x to 15.8x, Camping World's enterprise value reflected a multiple of 10.2x trailing twelve-month EBITDA. Due to Camping World's significantly larger enterprise value of $3.5 billion, higher gross margin and public company status, Andina’s management and board of directors determined that a significant discount to Camping World's public valuation was justified when determining the fair value of Lazydays.

 

Andina’s management and board of directors have long and diverse experience in operational management, investment analysis and financial management and, in its opinion, was suitably qualified to conduct the due diligence and other investigations and analyses required in connection with Andina’s search for a merger partner. A detailed description of the experience of Andina’s board of directors is included in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement entitled “Other Information Related to Andina – Directors and Executive Officers.”

 

The Andina board of directors concluded that the merger agreement with Lazydays was in the best interests of Andina’s shareholders. The Andina board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Mergers but nevertheless it did not attempt to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision.

 

61
 

 

In considering the Mergers, the Andina board of directors considered, among others, the following factors:

 

Lazydays is a premier RV dealership with a nationally recognized brand. With over 40 years of history, Lazydays is an iconic, industry leading brand that is known nationally as the RV authority. The Andina board came to this view because Lazydays’ dealerships are located in top RV selling markets in the U.S. (Florida, Colorado and Arizona). Furthermore, Lazydays has sold R.V. units to customers across the majority of states in the U.S. As per an independent research study prepared by Russell Research in November / December of 2017, Lazydays is the second most well-known R.V. dealership brand among a national audience of non-Lazydays customers surveyed. According to the study, over 50% of non-Lazydays customers surveyed believe the brand is among the category leaders and over 85% of Lazydays customers and over 80% of prospective customers surveyed believe that Lazydays is among the category leaders in the industry.

     
Attractive business model supported by strong free cash flow generation;
     
Strong relationships with OEMs, suppliers and financing partners;
     
Complementary high-margin recurring revenue streams including financing and insurance, service and repair, parts and accessories, rentals and hospitality offerings;
     

Highly experienced management team with respect to both public company stewardship and dealership expertise; and

     
Sizeable geographic growth opportunities both organically and through strategic acquisitions.

 

The Andina board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the business combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  The need and availability of the significant amount of cash consideration required to be paid to the Stockholders on closing; and
  Various other risks associated with the business of Lazydays, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Andina board concluded that the potential benefits outweighed the potentially negative factors. Accordingly, the board unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated therein were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of Andina and its shareholders.

 

Satisfaction of 80% Test

 

It is a requirement under Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that any business acquired by Andina has a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of Lazydays used to approve the transaction, including an analysis of public companies deemed comparable to Lazydays, the Andina board of directors determined that this requirement was met. Andina’s board of directors determined that consideration being paid in the Transaction Merger, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, was fair to and in the best interests of Andina and its shareholders and appropriately reflected Lazydays’ value. In reaching this determination, Andina’s board of directors concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships, and technical skills as well as quantitative factors such as Lazydays’ historical growth rate and its potential for future growth in revenues and profits. Andina’s board of directors believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of Lazydays met this requirement.

 

Interests of Andina’s Directors and Officers in the Mergers

 

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Andina to vote in favor of approval of the merger proposals, the charter proposals and the other proposals, shareholders of Andina should keep in mind that Andina’s initial shareholders, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Andina shareholders generally. In particular:

 

  If the business combination with Lazydays or another business combination is not consummated by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve), Andina will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 1,000,000 initial shares of Andina held by Andina’s initial shareholders, including its directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to Andina’s initial public offering, would be worthless because Andina’s initial shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such initial shares had an aggregate market value of $10,330,000 based upon the closing price of $10.33 per share on Nasdaq on February 12, 2018, the record date.
     
  Andina’s initial shareholders, including its directors and officers, and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. purchased an aggregate of 310,000 private units from Andina for an aggregate purchase price of $3,100,000 (or $10.00 per unit). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of Andina’s initial public offering. All of the proceeds Andina received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such units had an aggregate market value of $4,972,400 based upon the closing price of $16.04 per unit on Nasdaq on February 12, 2018, the record date. The purchasers of the private units waived the right to participate in any redemption or liquidation distribution with respect to such private units. Accordingly, the Andina shares and warrants underlying the private units will become worthless if Andina does not consummate a business combination by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve).

 

62
 

 

  The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that B. Luke Weil, a director of Andina, will be a director of Holdco after the closing of the Mergers. As such, in the future he will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Holdco board of directors (or a committee thereof) determines to pay to its non-executive directors.
     
  If the business combination is consummated, Andina has agreed to pay Hydra Management LLC, an affiliate of A. Lorne Weil, an initial shareholder of Andina and father of B. Luke Weil, Andina’s non-executive chairman, $450,000 as compensation for advisory services rendered to Andina in connection with the business combination, including assisting Andina in negotiating and finalizing the merger agreement and the documentation relating to the PIPE Investment.
     
  If Holdco is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, B. Luke Weil will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Andina for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Andina, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of claims against the proceeds held in the trust account.
     
  Andina’s initial shareholders, including its officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Andina’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Andina fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Andina may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the business combination with Lazydays or another business combination, is not completed by April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve). As of February 12, 2018, the record date, Andina’s initial shareholders and their affiliates had not incurred any unpaid reimbursable expenses although they may do so in the future.
     
  Since its inception, Andina’s initial shareholders have made loans from time to time to Andina to fund certain capital requirements, including amounts necessary to be added to the trust account to secure the additional time Andina needed to consummate the business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, an aggregate of $761,166 principal amount of these loans is outstanding. These loans are evidenced by non-interest bearing notes. Of this amount, an aggregate of $100,000 is evidenced by a convertible promissory note issued to A. Lorne Weil and is convertible at Mr. Weil’s election upon the consummation of an initial business combination into units of Andina, at a price of $10.00 per unit. If Mr. Weil converts the full amount of the convertible notes into units, he would be issued an aggregate of 11,429 Holdco Shares and 10,000 warrants of Holdco. If the business combination is not consummated, the notes will not be repaid or converted and will be forgiven unless Andina has funds outside of the trust account then available to it to repay such notes.
     
  If Andina is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, B. Luke Weil has agreed to advance Andina the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

 

Recommendation of Andina’s Board of Directors

 

After careful consideration of the matters described above, particularly Lazydays’ historical record of growth, potential for growth and profitability, the experience of Lazydays’ management, Lazydays’ competitive positioning, its customer relationships, and skills, Andina’s board of directors determined unanimously that each of the merger proposals is fair to and in the best interests of Andina and its shareholders. Andina’s board of directors has approved and declared advisable and unanimously recommend that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” each such proposal.

 

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Andina board of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information and factors considered by the Andina board of directors.

Recommendation of Lazydays’ Board of Directors and Opinion of the Financial Advisor to the Lazydays’ Board of Directors

 

On October 23, 2017 and October 24, 2017, an in person meeting of the Board of Directors of Lazydays (the “ Lazydays Board ”) was held where the Lazydays Board discussed the merger agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. In its discussion of the merger agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the Lazydays Board considered a number of factors, including, among other things, a fairness opinion prepared by Imperial Capital, LLC (“ Imperial ”). After consideration of such factors, the Lazydays Board unanimously determined that the merger agreement, and all of the transactions contemplated thereby, were fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Lazydays and its Stockholders. In connection therewith, the Lazydays Board resolved to recommend the acceptance, approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby to the Stockholders and directed that the merger agreement be submitted to the Stockholders for their acceptance, adoption and approval.

 

At the October 23, 2017 session of the meeting of the Lazydays Board, Imperial delivered its oral opinion to the Lazydays Board, which was consistent with its written opinion, dated October 23, 2017, that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Imperial in preparing its opinion, the consideration to be received by the Stockholders in connection with the Mergers was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders.

 

The full text of Imperial’s written opinion, dated October 23, 2017, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations upon the review undertaken by Imperial in connection with the opinion, is included in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement as Annex F and is incorporated herein by reference. Imperial has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. The summary of Imperial’s opinion set forth in this information statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Imperial’s opinion was addressed to, and for the use and benefit of, the Lazydays Board in connection with its consideration of the Mergers. Imperial expressed no opinion, and its opinion does not constitute a recommendation, as to how any Stockholder should vote with respect to the Transaction Merger. Imperial’s opinion was limited to the fairness of the consideration to be paid in connection with the Mergers, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders, as of the date of the opinion. Imperial’s opinion did not address Lazydays’ underlying business decision to effect the Mergers, any legal, tax or accounting issues concerning the Mergers, or any terms of the Mergers or the draft of the merger agreement that was provided to Imperial (other than the consideration to be paid to the Stockholders).

 

In connection with its opinion, Imperial made such reviews, analyses and inquiries as it deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Imperial, among other things:

 

  analyzed certain historical business and financial information relating to Lazydays;
     
  reviewed certain internal financial forecasts and budgets for Lazydays prepared and provided by Lazydays’ management, which forecasts and budgets were prepared by Lazydays’ management in the ordinary course of business;
     
  held discussions with certain members of Lazydays’ management team to discuss Lazydays’ operations and future prospects;
     
  held discussions with senior executives of Lazydays regarding prior sale processes and discussions between such executives and third parties regarding a potential sale transaction, and the results of the same;
     
  reviewed Lazydays’ counsel’s analysis of the distribution of gross transaction consideration as between Stockholders, Optionholders and Bonus Payment Recipients;
     
  reviewed certain publicly available research and analyst reports published by industry and equity analysts;
     
  reviewed public information with respect to certain other public companies with business lines and financial profiles which Imperial deemed to be relevant;
     
  reviewed the implied financial multiples and premiums paid in merger and acquisition transactions which Imperial deemed to be relevant;
     
  reviewed a draft of the merger agreement dated October 20, 2017;
     
  considered Lazydays’ management’s input on previous acquisitions and potential acquisition targets to evaluate the prevailing and historical acquisition multiples for small regional dealerships, which Imperial understood to include both verbal and written indications of interest; and
     
  conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and took into account such other matters as Imperial deemed necessary, including its assessment of general economic and monetary conditions.

 

64
 

 

In giving its opinion, Imperial relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing financial and other information and did not assume responsibility for independent verification of such information or conduct or become furnished with any current independent valuation or appraisal of any assets of Lazydays or any appraisal or estimate of liabilities of Lazydays (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets or liabilities). With respect to the financial forecasts, Imperial assumed, with Lazydays’ consent, that such financial forecasts had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of Lazydays as to the future financial performance of Lazydays. Imperial also relied upon the assurances of Lazydays’ management that it was unaware of any facts that would make the information or financial forecasts provided to Imperial incomplete or misleading. Imperial assumed no responsibility for, and expressed no view as to, such financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they were based.

 

Imperial’s opinion does not address the merits of the underlying decision by Lazydays to engage in the Mergers or the relative merits of any strategic or financial alternatives that may be available to Lazydays. Imperial was not requested to, and did not, solicit third party indications of interest in acquiring all or any part of Lazydays.

 

Imperial’s opinion is necessarily based upon financial, monetary, economic, market and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of its opinion and does not address the fairness of the consideration payable to the Stockholders as of any other date, and Imperial assumed no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events arising or occurring after the date of its opinion. These conditions have been and remain subject to volatility and uncertainty, and Imperial expressed no view as to the impact of such volatility and uncertainty after the date of its opinion on the Company or the contemplated benefits of the Mergers.

 

In rendering its opinion, Imperial assumed, with Lazydays’ consent, that (i) the final executed form of the merger agreement will not differ in any material respect from the draft of the merger agreement that Imperial examined, (ii) the parties to the merger agreement will comply with all the material terms of the draft of the merger agreement provided to Imperial, and (iii) the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the draft of the merger agreement provided to Imperial without any adverse waiver or amendment of any material term or condition thereof. Imperial also assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Mergers will be obtained without any material adverse effect on Lazydays or the Mergers.

 

Summary of Material Financial Analyses of Imperial

 

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by Imperial to the Lazydays Board at the October 23, 2017 session of the meeting of the Lazydays Board held on October 23, 2017 and October 24, 2017, and that were used in connection with rendering its opinion described above. In accordance with customary investment banking practice, Imperial employed generally accepted valuation methods in reaching its opinion. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Imperial, nor does the order in which the analyses are described represent the relative importance or weight given to the analyses by Imperial. Imperial applied a higher weighting to its precedent transactions analysis because Imperial believed that Lazydays is closer to the smaller regional dealerships than the publicly traded comparable companies that Imperial analyzed. Imperial applied equal weighting to its discounted cash flow analysis and its trading comparables analysis. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables are not intended to stand alone and, in order to fully understand the financial analyses used by Imperial, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. Considering the data set forth in the tables without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Imperial’s financial analyses.

 

In connection with its analyses, Imperial considered financial projections prepared by Lazydays’ management. With respect to the financial projections examined by Imperial, Imperial assumed that they were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of Lazydays’ management as to the future financial performance of Lazydays and that Lazydays will perform in accordance with such projections for all periods specified therein.

Analysis of Merger Consideration

 

Trading Comparable Analysis

 

Imperial performed a comparable company analysis, which estimates the value of a company based on the implied valuations of certain publicly traded companies with relatively similar business and financial characteristics to Lazydays. Imperial’s analysis of the selected companies included a review of each such company’s financial statements as well as an assessment of each such company’s risks, profitability, leverage and growth prospects. In formulating its opinion, Imperial made certain qualitative judgments concerning differences between the characteristics of Lazydays and the selected group of comparable companies. Upon selecting an appropriate peer group, enterprise values were calculated and expressed as a multiple of EBITDA. A discount of 1.0x to 2.0x to the average last twelve months enterprise value/EBITDA multiple of the selected group of comparable companies was applied due to the comparable companies’ larger size, number of dealerships, superior operational stability, higher liquidity and more diverse revenue streams.

 

With respect to each of the comparable companies, Imperial calculated (a) net debt, (b) market capitalization, (c) enterprise value, (d) enterprise value as a multiple of EBITDA for the last twelve months and (e) enterprise value as a multiple of expected EBITDA for the next twelve months.

 

The results of this analysis are summarized as follows:

(1) Excludes Floor Plan Debt

 

Based upon the foregoing and its professional judgment and experience, including the application of a discount of 1.0x to 2.0x to the average last twelve months enterprise value/EBITDA multiple of the selected group of comparable companies as discussed above, Imperial applied multiples ranging from 5.5x to 7.5x to estimates of Lazydays’ Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 ($31.3 million) provided by Lazydays’ management in order to calculate a range of estimated implied enterprise values. This analysis resulted in a range of implied enterprise values for Lazydays of $172 million to $235 million.

 

Lazydays defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, non-floor plan interest expense, interest income and income tax expense and other supplemental adjustments. A reconciliation from preliminary unaudited Net Income to preliminary unaudited Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 is shown in the table below. The reconciliation shown in the table below was not included in Imperial’s opinion or in its presentation to the Lazydays Board.

Analysis of Precedent Transaction Comparables

 

Imperial performed a precedent transactions analysis, which derives an implied enterprise value of a subject company by examining public mergers and acquisitions for comparable companies or assets and analyzing the purchase prices as multiples of EBITDA, which are then applied to the subject company’s EBITDA to arrive at an estimate of enterprise value. This valuation methodology requires qualitative judgments, because each transaction occurs under unique circumstances. Due to the lack of public transaction metrics in the highly fragmented market for smaller regional dealerships, Imperial utilized metrics for prior acquisitions by Lazydays, public disclosures by Camping World with regard to acquisitions and other relevant information made available to Imperial by Lazydays. The public transactions analyzed by Imperial were chosen from among all publicly disclosed transactions involving RV dealerships, power sport dealerships and auto dealerships. Camping World’s management has indicated that it has acquired smaller regional dealerships for between 2.0x to 4.0x EBITDA.

 

Based on the results of its analysis and other factors that it considered appropriate, Imperial selected a range of valuation multiples from 3.5x to 4.5x to apply to estimates of Lazydays’ Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 ($31.3 million), which represents a premium to the smaller regional dealerships average multiple of 3.4x. This analysis resulted in a range of implied enterprise values for Lazydays of $110 million to $141 million.

 

Discounted Cash Flow Analyses

 

Imperial performed a discounted cash flow analysis, which relates the value of a business to the present value of expected future free cash flows to be generated by that business. These cash flows include the value of unlevered free cash flows over a forecast period plus an estimate of terminal value to account for the value of the business beyond the forecast period, discounted to the present at a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with the cash flows. In performing its discounted cash flow analysis, Imperial used Lazydays’ detailed 2017-2022 forecast to calculate projected unlevered free cash flows and discounted the annual cash flows, and the terminal value, at Lazydays’ theoretical weighted average cost of capital.

 

Given that Lazydays is competitively positioned between the smaller regional dealerships and the far larger and more diversified publicly traded auto dealers and Camping World, the discounted cash flow analysis estimated terminal value beyond the forecast period using a terminal value multiple that was a premium to the multiples cited for relevant transactions involving smaller regional dealerships, but was a discount to the terminal value multiples of publicly traded auto dealers and Camping World.

 

Lazydays’ terminal value was calculated using terminal value multiples ranging from 3.50x to 4.50x. The Company’s future cash flows and terminal value were discounted to present values using a discount rate of 15.35%. That discount rate was based on an analysis of Lazydays’ weighted average cost of capital, which was derived based on certain information and assumptions made by Imperial including (i) the assumed estimated long term cost of debt of 4.84%, (ii) a marginal tax rate of 38.00%, (iii) the assumed risk free rate of 3.50%, (iv) the assumed equity risk premium of 5.50%, (v) the assumed unlevered and relevered beta of 1.25, (vi) the assumed debt/capital ratio of 15.46% and the assumed equity/capital ratio of 84.54% and (vii) the assumed small stock premium of 7.21%.

 

Based on a range of terminal value multiples ranging from 3.5x to 4.5x and a discount rate of 15.35%, Imperial’s discounted cash flow analyses yielded a range of implied enterprise values for Lazydays of $112 million to $129 million.

 

General

 

The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods for estimating enterprise value and the application of those methods to particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. Imperial’s analyses must be considered as a whole. Considering any particular portion of such analyses and of the factors considered, without considering all of the other accompanying analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying the conclusions and opinions expressed therein. In its analyses, Imperial made many assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Lazydays. Any estimates contained in Imperial’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth in Imperial’s opinion. In addition, analyses relating to the value of Lazydays do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which Lazydays actually may be sold.

 

67
 

 

Imperial was not requested to, and did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Lazydays or conduct a comprehensive physical inspection of any of Lazydays’ assets, nor was Imperial furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals or reports of such physical inspections, nor did Imperial assume any responsibility to obtain any such evaluations, appraisals or reports in connection with its opinion.

 

The terms of the merger agreement, including the consideration, were determined through arm’s-length negotiations between Lazydays and Andina and were approved by the Lazydays Board. Imperial did not recommend any specific consideration to Lazydays or the Lazydays Board or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Mergers. Imperial’s opinion and its presentation to the Lazydays Board were among a number of factors taken into consideration by the Lazydays Board in making its determination to approve the merger agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 

Lazydays, at the direction of the Lazydays Board, entered into an engagement letter with Imperial, dated September 27, 2017, engaging Imperial to provide a fairness opinion with respect to the Mergers. Imperial was selected by the Lazydays Board based on Imperial’s qualifications, expertise, reputation and experience in mergers and acquisitions.

 

For the delivery of its opinion, Lazydays agreed to pay Imperial a fee of $200,000. Lazydays has also agreed to reimburse Imperial for certain of its expenses, and to indemnify Imperial against certain liabilities, in connection with its engagement.

 

During the two years preceding the date of Imperial’s opinion, Imperial and its affiliates have not provided services for which it has received any fees or revenue from Lazydays. Imperial’s Institutional Sales and Trading Department maintains a customer relationship with affiliates of the holder of a majority of shares of common stock of Lazydays, but revenues derived from such relationship during the prior two-year period were immaterial to Imperial as a whole.

 

Imperial and its affiliates are engaged in investment banking and financial advisory services, securities trading, investment management, principal investment, financing, brokerage activities and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities, including the holder of a majority of shares of common stock of Lazydays. In the ordinary course of Imperial’s business, Imperial and its affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities of Lazydays or Andina for its own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, Imperial may provide or seek to provide investment banking and other financial services in the future to Andina and its affiliates and to the holder of a majority of shares of common stock of Lazydays. In connection with the above-described services, Imperial may receive compensation.

The following are the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences of (i) the Redomestication Merger to the U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Andina securities, which are sometimes referred to collectively, or individually, as the securities, (ii) the redemption of Andina ordinary shares if a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its Andina ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of its redemption right in connection with the shareholder vote regarding the merger proposals, and (iii) the ownership and disposition of Holdco Shares following the Redomestication Merger.

 

Because the components of an Andina unit are separable at the option of the holder, the holder of an Andina unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying Andina ordinary share and Andina right. As a result, the discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to actual holders of Andina ordinary shares and Andina rights should also apply to the holders of Andina units (as the deemed owners of the Andina ordinary shares and Andina rights underlying the Andina units).

 

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior or subsequent to, or concurrently with, the Mergers including, without limitation, the conversion of the Andina warrants into warrants to purchase Holdco Shares (“Holdco Warrants”), or the holding, exercise or disposition of such Holdco Warrants. Holders of the Andina warrants should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the particular tax consequences to them of the conversion of the Andina warrants into Holdco Warrants and the holding, exercise or disposition of the Holdco Warrants.

 

The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of securities that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

  an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
     
  a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
     
  an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
     
  a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

If a beneficial owner of securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “Non-U.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to Non-U.S. Holders of the ownership and disposition of Holdco securities following the Redomestication Merger are described below under the heading “Non-U.S. Holders.”

 

This discussion is based upon existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code,” Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published revenue rulings and procedures from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the “IRS,” and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

 

This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that own and hold securities, and that will own and hold securities as a result of owning the corresponding Andina securities, as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not address the alternative minimum tax or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:

 

  financial institutions or financial services entities;
     
  broker-dealers;
     
  persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;
     
  tax-exempt entities;

 

69
 

 

  governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
     
  insurance companies;
     
  regulated investment companies;
     
  real estate investment trusts;
     
  certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;
     
  Non-U.S. Holders (except as specifically provided below);
     
  persons that actually or constructively own five percent (5%) or more of Andina’s voting securities or Holdco’s voting securities (except as specifically provided below);
     
  persons that acquired Andina securities or Holdco securities pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;
     
  persons that hold Andina securities or Holdco securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, redemption or other integrated transaction;
     
  persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or
     
  controlled foreign corporations.

 

This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of Andina securities or Holdco securities. Additionally, this discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold Andina securities, or will hold Holdco securities, through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Andina securities (or Holdco securities), the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) on Andina securities (or Holdco securities) and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of Andina securities (or Holdco securities) will be in U.S. dollars. In addition, this discussion assumes that a holder will own a sufficient number of rights such that upon conversion of such rights, the holder will acquire only full ordinary shares (or Holdco Shares) and, thus, will not forfeit any rights or have a right to acquire a fractional share after such conversion.

 

Neither Andina nor Holdco have sought, and neither will seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the description herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

 

BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAX LAWS AND BECAUSE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER OF ANDINA SECURITIES OR HOLDCO SECURITIES IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOLLOWING THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER AND BUSINESS COMBINATION MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN, EACH HOLDER OF ANDINA SECURITIES AND HOLDCO SECURITIES IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER AND BUSINESS COMBINATION, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ANDINA SECURITIES OR HOLDCO SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.

Tax Consequences of the Redomestication Merger

 

Graubard Miller, counsel to Andina, has rendered an opinion regarding material United States federal income tax consequences of the Redomestication Merger to holders of Andina securities. It is the opinion of Graubard Miller that the Redomestication Merger should qualify as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Code. However, due to the absence of guidance directly on point on how the provisions of Section 368(a) apply in the case of a merger of corporations with no active business and only investment-type assets, this result is not entirely free from doubt. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position.

 

If the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a), except as otherwise provided below in the sections entitled “— PFIC Considerations” and “— Effect of Section 367,” it is the opinion of Graubard Miller that a U.S. Holder of Andina securities will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of its Andina securities solely for Holdco securities pursuant to the Redomestication Merger. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Holdco securities received in connection with the Redomestication Merger should be the same as his aggregate tax basis in the Andina securities surrendered in the transaction, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder under the PFIC rules or Section 367(b) of the Code. See the discussion under “— PFIC Considerations” and “— Effect of Section 367,” below. In addition, the U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Holdco securities received in the Redomestication Merger generally should include his holding period of the Andina securities surrendered in the Redomestication Merger.

 

If the Redomestication Merger fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a), it is the opinion of Graubard Miller that a U.S. Holder of Andina securities would recognize gain or loss with respect to his Andina securities in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Holdco securities received in the Redomestication Merger and U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in his Andina securities surrendered in the Redomestication Merger. In such event, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the Holdco securities would be equal to their fair market value, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Holdco securities would begin on the day following the date of the Redomestication Merger.

 

If the Redomestication Merger fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, Andina would be considered to have transferred its assets to Holdco in exchange for Holdco Shares, dissolved, and distributed the Holdco Shares to Andina shareholders in exchange for their Andina shares. As Andina is a foreign company (having been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands) and has not been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, any income that Andina could be said to have realized upon the transfer of its assets to Holdco or the distribution of the Holdco Shares to the Andina shareholders, would not be subject to U.S. income tax.

 

PFIC Considerations

 

Even if the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, the Redomestication Merger may be a taxable event to U.S. Holders of Andina securities under the passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” provisions of the Code, to the extent that Section 1291(f) of the Code applies.

 

A. Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC

 

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be a PFIC if either (a) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (b) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

 

Pursuant to a start-up exception, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income, or the “start-up year,” if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that the corporation will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those two taxable years.

 

If Andina is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of Andina ordinary shares or Andina rights and, in the case of Andina ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder did not make either (a) a timely qualified election fund, or “QEF,” election under Section 1295 of the Code for Andina’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Andina ordinary shares or (b) a QEF election along with a “purging election,” both of which are discussed further below, such holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to:

 

  any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Andina ordinary shares or Andina rights; and

 

71
 

 

  any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Andina ordinary shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Andina ordinary shares).

 

Under these rules,

 

  the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Andina ordinary shares or Andina rights;
     
  the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of Andina’s first taxable year in which it qualified as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;
     
  the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and
     
  the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

 

In general, if Andina is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above with respect to its Andina ordinary shares by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election), as described below. Pursuant to the QEF election, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in income its pro rata share of Andina’s net capital gain (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which Andina’s taxable year ends. Andina, however, does not believe that it had any earnings and profits in any prior taxable year or will have any earnings and profits for its current taxable year.

 

B. Status of Andina as a PFIC

 

Based on the composition of its income and assets, Andina believes that it was a PFIC for its taxable year ended November 30, 2016 (Andina’s initial taxable year) and that it may qualify as a PFIC for its taxable year ended November 30, 2017. The determination of whether Andina is or has been a PFIC is primarily factual, and there is little administrative or judicial authority on which to rely to make a determination of PFIC status. Accordingly, the IRS or a court considering the matter may not agree with Andina’s analysis of whether or not it is or was a PFIC during any particular year.

 

C. Impact of PFIC Rules on Certain U.S. Holders

 

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Andina securities will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Andina as a QEF, for Andina’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Andina ordinary shares, or if the U.S. Holder made an effective QEF election along with a “purging election,” as discussed below. A U.S. Holder’s ability to make an effective QEF election with respect to Andina is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by Andina of certain information that would enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. Andina has previously indicated that it would endeavor to provide such information, including a PFIC annual information statement, upon request of a U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that made a timely and effective QEF election for Andina’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Andina ordinary shares, or that made a QEF election along with a purging election, as discussed below, is hereinafter referred to as an “Electing Shareholder.” A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that did not make a timely and effective QEF election for Andina’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Andina ordinary shares, or that did not make a QEF election along with a purging election, is hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.”

 

72
 

 

As indicated above, if a U.S. Holder of Andina ordinary shares has not made a timely and effective QEF election with respect to Andina’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Andina ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder generally may nonetheless qualify as an Electing Shareholder by filing on a timely filed U.S. income tax return (including extensions) a QEF election and a purging election to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code any gain that it would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold its Andina ordinary shares for their fair market value on the “qualification date.” The qualification date is the first day of Andina’s tax year in which Andina qualifies as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The purging election can only be made if such U.S. Holder held Andina ordinary shares on the qualification date. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder will increase the adjusted tax basis in its Andina ordinary shares by the amount of the gain recognized and will also have a new holding period in the Andina ordinary shares for purposes of the PFIC rules.

 

A U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its Andina rights. As a result, if a U.S. Holder of Andina rights sells or otherwise disposes of such rights (including for this purpose exchanging the Andina rights for Holdco Shares in the Redomestication Merger), any gain recognized will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above, if Andina were a PFIC at any time during the period the U.S. Holder held the Andina rights.

 

U.S. Holders that hold (or are deemed to hold) stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to annually mark such stock to its market value if such stock is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or certain foreign exchanges or markets of which the IRS has approved (a “mark-to-market election”). The Nasdaq Stock Market currently is considered to be an exchange that would allow a U.S. Holder to make a mark-to-market election. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election with respect to their Andina ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.

 

D. Effect of PFIC Rules on the Redomestication Merger

 

Even if the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Code, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC (including rights to acquire stock of a PFIC) must recognize gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury regulations are in effect under Section 1291(f). Proposed Treasury regulations under Section 1291(f), or the “Proposed Regulations,” were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their present form, the Proposed Regulations would require taxable gain recognition by a Non-Electing Shareholder with respect to its exchange of Andina securities for Holdco securities in the Redomestication Merger if Andina were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in Andina securities. Any such gain would be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Redomestication Merger and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed above under “— Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC.” In addition, the regulations would provide coordinating rules with Section 367(b) of the Code, whereby, if the gain recognition rule of the Proposed Regulations applied to a disposition of PFIC stock that results from a transfer with respect to which Section 367(b) requires the shareholder to recognize gain or include an amount in income as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code, the gain realized on the transfer is taxable as an excess distribution under Section 1291 of the Code, and the excess, if any, of the amount to be included in income under Section 367(b) over the gain realized under Section 1291 is taxable as provided under Section 367(b). See the discussion below under the section entitled “— Effect of Section 367.” The Proposed Regulations should not apply to an Electing Shareholder with respect to its Andina ordinary shares for which a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election) is made. An Electing Shareholder may, however, be subject to the rules discussed below under the section entitled “— Effect of Section 367.” In addition, as discussed above, since a QEF election cannot be made with respect to Andina rights, the Proposed Regulations should apply to cause gain recognition under the PFIC rules on the exchange of Andina rights for Holdco shares pursuant to the Redomestication Merger.

 

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF election and purging election (or a mark-to-market election) are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Andina securities should consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder’s particular circumstances.

 

73
 

 

Effect of Section 367

 

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain non-recognition transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a transaction that qualifies as a Section 368(a) reorganization. When it applies, Section 367 imposes income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) generally will apply to U.S. Holders that exchange Andina ordinary shares (but not rights) for Holdco Common Stock as part of the Redomestication Merger.

 

A. U.S. Shareholders of Andina

 

A U.S. Holder that on the day of the Redomestication Merger beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Andina securities entitled to vote (a “U.S. 10% Shareholder”) must include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the Andina ordinary shares it directly owns, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d). Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Andina securities entitled to vote for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

A U.S. 10% Shareholder’s all earnings and profits amount with respect to its Andina ordinary shares is the net positive earnings and profits of the corporation (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)(2)) attributable to the Andina ordinary shares (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)(3)) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such Andina ordinary shares.

 

Accordingly, under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(3), a U.S. 10% Shareholder will be required to include in income as a deemed dividend the all earnings and profits amount (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) with respect to its Andina ordinary shares. However, Andina does not expect that its cumulative earnings and profits will be greater than zero through the date of the Redomestication Merger. If Andina’s cumulative earnings and profits through the date of Redomestication Merger are not greater than zero, then a U.S. 10% Shareholder generally would (depending on what period the Andina ordinary shares were held) not be required to include in gross income an all earnings and profits amount with respect to its Andina ordinary shares.

 

However, it is possible that the amount of Andina’s earnings and profits could be greater than expected through the date of the Redomestication Merger or could be adjusted as a result of an IRS examination. The determination of Andina’s earnings and profits is a complex determination and may be impacted by numerous factors. Therefore, it is possible that one or more factors may cause Andina to have positive earnings and profits through the date of the Redomestication Merger. As a result, depending upon the period in which such a U.S. 10% Shareholder held its Andina ordinary shares, such U.S. 10% Shareholder could be required to include its all earnings and profits amount in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(3) as a result of the Redomestication Merger. See above under “— PFIC Considerations — Effect of PFIC Rules on the Redomestication Merger” for a discussion of whether the amount of inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code should be reduced by amounts required to be taken into account by a Non-Electing Shareholder under the proposed Treasury regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code.

 

B. U.S. Holders That Own Less Than 10 Percent of Andina

 

A U.S. Holder that on the day of the Redomestication Merger beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) Andina ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more but less than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Andina securities entitled to vote must either recognize gain with respect to the Redomestication Merger or, in the alternative, elect to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount as described below.

 

Unless a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits election” as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to Holdco securities received in exchange for its Andina ordinary shares pursuant to the Redomestication Merger. Any such gain would be equal to the excess of the fair market value of such Holdco securities received over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Andina ordinary shares deemed to be surrendered in exchange therefor. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, such gain would be capital gain, and should be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder held the Andina ordinary shares for longer than one year.

 

74
 

 

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income the all earnings and profits amount attributable to its Andina ordinary shares under Section 367(b). There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury regulations and generally must include, among other things: (i) a statement that the Redomestication Merger is a Section 367(b) exchange; (ii) a complete description of the Redomestication Merger, (iii) a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Redomestication Merger, (iv) a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (v) a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from Andina establishing and substantiating the U.S. Holder’s all earnings and profits amount with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Andina ordinary shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified Andina (or Holdco) that the U.S. Holder is making the election, and (vi) certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury regulations thereunder. In addition, the election must be attached by the U.S. Holder to its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Redomestication Merger, and the U.S. Holder must send notice to Andina (or Holdco) of the election no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, Andina intends to provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding Andina’s earnings and profits upon request.

 

Andina does not expect that its cumulative earnings and profits will be greater than zero through the date of the Redomestication Merger and if that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election generally would (depending on what period the Andina ordinary shares were held) not have an income inclusion under Section 367(b) provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. Thus, it is expected that the making of any election to include the all earnings and profits amount in income as a dividend generally would be advantageous to a U.S. Holder that would otherwise recognize gain under Section 367(b) with respect to its Andina ordinary shares in the Redomestication Merger. However, as noted above, if it were determined that Andina had positive earnings and profits through the date of the Redomestication Merger, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an all earnings and profits amount with respect to its Andina ordinary shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend as a result of the Redomestication Merger. See above under “— PFIC Considerations — Effect of PFIC Rules on the Redomestication Merger” for a discussion of whether the amount of inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code should be reduced by amounts required to be taken into account by a Non-Electing Shareholder under the proposed Treasury regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code.

 

U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding whether to make this election and if the election is determined to be advisable, the appropriate filing requirements with respect to this election.

 

C. U.S. Holders that Own Andina Securities with a Fair Market Value Less Than $50,000

 

A U.S. Holder that on the date of the Redomestication Merger owns (or is considered to own) Andina ordinary shares with a fair market value less than $50,000 would not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367(b) of the Code in connection with the Redomestication Merger, and would not be required to include any part of the all earnings and profits amount in income.

 

D. Shareholder Basis in and Holding Period for Holdco Securities

 

For a discussion of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis and holding period in Holdco securities received in the Redomestication Merger, see above under “Tax Consequences of the Redomestication Merger.”

 

Taxation on the Redemption of Andina ordinary shares

 

In the event that a U.S. Holder of Andina ordinary shares elects to redeem its Andina ordinary shares and receive cash pursuant to the exercise of its redemption right in connection with the shareholder vote regarding the merger proposals, the amount received on any such redemption of Andina ordinary shares generally will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a payment in consideration for the sale of the Andina ordinary shares rather than as a distribution. Such amounts, however, will be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes if (i) the redemption is “essentially equivalent to a dividend” (generally meaning that the U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership in Andina (including Andina ordinary shares the U.S. Holder is deemed to own under certain constructive ownership rules) after the redemption is not meaningfully reduced from what its percentage ownership in Andina (including constructive ownership) was prior to the redemption), (ii) the redemption is not “substantially disproportionate” as to that U.S. Holder (“substantially disproportionate” requiring, among other things, that the percentage of Andina outstanding voting shares owned (including constructive ownership) immediately following the redemption is less than 80% of that percentage owned (including constructive ownership) by such holder immediately before the redemption) and (iii) the redemption does not result in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in Andina (generally taking into account certain constructive ownership rules). If the U.S. Holder had a relatively minimal interest in Andina ordinary shares and, taking into account the effect of redemptions by other holders, its percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) in Andina is reduced as a result of the redemption, such holder generally should be regarded as having a meaningful reduction in interest. For example, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences to it of any redemption of its Andina ordinary shares.

Taxation of Cash Distributions Paid on Holdco Securities

 

A U.S. Holder of Holdco securities generally will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any cash dividend paid on the Holdco securities. A cash distribution on such securities generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of Holdco’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). The portion of such distribution, if any, in excess of such earnings and profits generally will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Holdco securities. Any remaining excess generally will be treated as gain from the sale or other disposition of the Holdco securities and will be treated as described under “— Taxation on the Disposition of Holdco Securities” below. Assuming certain holding period and other requirements are met, the dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. Holder should be subject to tax at the regular U.S. federal income tax rate generally applicable to long-term capital gains.

 

Any cash dividends Holdco pays to a U.S. Holder that is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends-received deduction if the applicable holding period and other requirements are satisfied. However, if any such dividends are “extraordinary dividends” subject to Section 1059 of the Code, a corporate U.S. Holder may be required to reduce the adjusted tax basis in its Holdco securities by the nontaxed portion of such dividends (and if the nontaxed portion of such dividends exceeds such basis, such excess may be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Holdco securities for taxable year in which the extraordinary dividend is received).

 

Taxation on the Disposition of Holdco Securities

 

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Holdco securities (which, in general, would include a distribution in connection with Holdco’s liquidation), a U.S. Holder of such securities generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such securities. See “— Deemed Exercise of Andina Rights,” below for a discussion regarding a U.S. Holder’s basis in the Holdco Common Stock acquired pursuant to the deemed exercise of an Andina right.

 

The regular U.S. federal income tax rate on capital gains recognized by U.S. Holders generally is the same as the regular U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary income, except that long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum regular rate of 20%. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the securities exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

 

Additional Taxes

 

U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally will also be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on unearned income, including, among other things, dividends on, and capital gains from the sale or other taxable disposition of, Andina or Holdco securities, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of such tax on their ownership and disposition of Andina or Holdco securities.

 

Deemed Exercise or Lapse of Andina Rights

 

A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss by reason of the receipt of shares of Holdco Common Stock on the conversion of Andina rights on the consummation of the Redomestication Merger. The shares acquired pursuant to such conversion generally will have a tax basis equal to the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the rights. The holding period of such shares generally would begin on the day following the conversion of the rights and would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held such rights.

Non-U.S. Holders

 

Taxation of Distributions on Holdco Securities

 

Any cash distribution (including a constructive distribution) Holdco makes to a Non-U.S. Holder of Holdco securities, to the extent paid out of Holdco’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to Holdco securities that is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, as described below, generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). In satisfying the foregoing withholding obligation with respect to a distribution, Holdco may withhold up to 30% of either (i) the gross amount of the entire distribution, even if the amount of the distribution is greater than the amount constituting a dividend, as described above, or (ii) the amount of the distribution Holdco projects will be a dividend, based upon a reasonable estimate of both its current and accumulated earnings and profits for the taxable year in which the distribution is made. If U.S. federal income tax is withheld on the amount of a distribution in excess of the amount constituting a dividend, the Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of all or a portion of the excess amount withheld by timely filing a claim for refund with the IRS. Any such distribution not constituting a dividend generally will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, first as reducing the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such securities (but not below zero) and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of such securities, which will be treated as described under “— Taxation on the Disposition of Holdco Securities” below.

 

Cash dividends (including constructive dividends) Holdco pays to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if certain income tax treaties apply, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder) generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, such dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a U.S. federal “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

 

Taxation on the Disposition of Holdco Securities

 

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of Holdco securities unless:

 

  the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder);
     
  the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or
     
  Holdco is a ’‘United States real property holding corporation’’ (’‘USRPHC’’) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such securities disposed of, and, generally, in the case where Holdco securities are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of such securities, as applicable, at any time during the shorter of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the security disposed of. There can be no assurance that Holdco securities will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

 

77
 

 

Unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first and third bullet points above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder. Any gain described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation also may be subject to an additional U.S. federal “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate). Any U.S. source capital gain of a Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point above (which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses during the taxable year of the disposition) generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax rate (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

 

In connection with the third bullet point above, Holdco generally will be classified as a USRPHC if (looking through certain subsidiaries) the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on the expected composition of its assets (looking through applicable subsidiaries) after the Redomestication Merger and the Business Combination, Holdco believes that it would not be a USRPHC after the Business Combination. Even if it were not a USRPHC immediately after the Business Combination, no assurance can be given that Holdco will not become a USRPHC in the future. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of Holdco securities.

 

Foreign Accounts

 

Certain Non-U.S. Holders may be subject to a U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate with respect to dividends on, and the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Holdco securities if certain disclosure requirements related to the U.S. accounts maintained by, or the U.S. ownership of, such Non-U.S. Holders are not satisfied. The IRS has indicated, however, that withholding with respect to such gross proceeds will be required only for sales or other dispositions occurring after December 31, 2018. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of such withholding taxes on their ownership and disposition of Holdco securities.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Holdco generally must report annually to the IRS and to each holder the amount of cash dividends and certain other distributions it pays to such holder on such holder’s Holdco securities and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those distributions. In the case of a Non-U.S. Holder, copies of the information returns reporting those distributions and withholding also may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement. Information reporting is also generally required with respect to proceeds from the sales and other dispositions of Holdco securities to or through the U.S. office (and in certain cases, the foreign office) of a broker. In addition, certain information concerning a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Holdco securities and adjustments to that tax basis and whether any gain or loss with respect to such securities is long-term or short-term also may be required to be reported to the IRS.

 

Moreover, backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 28% generally will apply to cash distributions made on Holdco securities to, and the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of such securities by, a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient) who:

 

  fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;
     
  is notified by the IRS that backup withholding is required; or
     
  in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

 

A Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting (other than with respect to distributions, as described above) and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedures for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

 

The Mergers will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the excess of the purchase price of the assets acquired over the book value as of the date of acquisition will be allocated first to the identifiable intangible assets, then any remaining excess to goodwill. All other assets and liabilities to be acquired are primarily estimated to be stated at their fair values, which approximates their recorded cost. In addition, a deferred tax liability will be provided on the difference between the value allocated and their tax basis.

 

Appraisal Rights

 

Andina shareholders (including the initial shareholders) and holders of Andina’s rights and warrants do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers under Cayman Islands law.

 

If the Transaction Merger is consummated, the Lazydays Stockholders who do not deliver a written consent approving the Transaction Merger or who do not otherwise waive appraisal rights are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), provided that they comply with the conditions established by Section 262.

 

The discussion below is not a complete summary regarding a Stockholder’s appraisal rights under Delaware law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the relevant provisions of Delaware law, which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement as Annex E . Stockholders intending to exercise appraisal rights should carefully review Annex E . Failure to follow precisely any of the statutory procedures set forth in Annex E may result in a termination or waiver of these rights. This summary does not constitute legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that Stockholders exercise their appraisal rights under Delaware law.

 

Under Section 262, where a merger is adopted by stockholders by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, either the constituent corporation before the effective date of the Transaction Merger or the surviving corporation, within 10 days after the effective date of the Transaction Merger, must notify each stockholder of the constituent corporation entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the Transaction Merger, the effective date of the Transaction Merger and that appraisal rights are available.

 

If the Transaction Merger is consummated, within 10 days after the effective date of the Transaction Merger, Lazydays will notify the Stockholders that the Transaction Merger has been approved, the effective date of the Transaction Merger and that appraisal rights are available to any Stockholder who has not approved the Transaction Merger. Holders of shares of Lazydays’ capital stock who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must deliver a written demand for appraisal to Lazydays within 20 days after the date of mailing of that notice, and that Stockholder must (i) own shares of Lazydays’ capital stock on the date of the making of a demand under Section 262 for appraisal of such shares, (ii) continuously hold such shares through the effective date of the Transaction Merger, (iii) not withdraw such Stockholder’s demand for appraisal of such shares or lose the right to appraisal and otherwise comply with the procedures in Section 262 for perfection of such appraisal rights and (iv) not have delivered a written consent approving the Transaction Merger or otherwise waived its appraisal rights. A demand for appraisal must reasonably inform Lazydays of the identity of the Stockholder and that such Stockholder intends thereby to demand appraisal of the shares of Lazydays capital stock held by such Stockholder. Failure to deliver a written consent approving the Transaction Merger will not in and of itself constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the requirements of Section 262. All demands for appraisal should be addressed to Lazy Days R.V. Center, Inc., 6130 Lazy Days Blvd., Seffner, Florida 33584, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of shares of Lazydays capital stock. ALL DEMANDS MUST BE RECEIVED BY LAZYDAYS WITHIN 20 DAYS AFTER THE DATE LAZYDAYS MAILS A NOTICE TO ITS STOCKHOLDERS NOTIFYING THEM OF (A) THE FACT THAT THE TRANSACTION MERGER HAS BEEN APPROVED, (B) THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE TRANSACTION MERGER AND (C) THE FACT THAT APPRAISAL RIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER WHO HAS NOT APPROVED THE TRANSACTION MERGER.

 

If you fail to deliver a written demand for appraisal within the time period specified above, you will be entitled to receive the merger consideration for your shares of Lazydays capital stock as provided for in the merger agreement, but you will have no appraisal rights with respect to your shares of Lazydays capital stock.

 

79
 

 

To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a holder of shares of Lazydays capital stock must be made by, or in the name of, the registered Stockholder, fully and correctly. Beneficial owners who do not also hold the shares of Lazydays capital stock of record may not directly make appraisal demands to Lazydays. The beneficial owner must, in these cases, have the registered owner, such as a broker, bank or other custodian, submit the required demand in respect of those shares. If shares of Lazydays capital stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal should be made by or for the fiduciary; and if the shares of Lazydays capital stock are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a Stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares of Lazydays capital stock as a custodian for others, may exercise the record owner’s right of appraisal with respect to the shares of Lazydays capital stock held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares of Lazydays capital stock as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares of Lazydays capital stock is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Lazydays capital stock held in the name of the record owner. In addition, the Stockholder must continuously hold the shares of Lazydays capital stock of record from the date of making the demand through the effective time of the Transaction Merger.

 

If you hold your shares of Lazydays capital stock in a brokerage account or in other custodian form and you wish to exercise appraisal rights, you should consult with your bank, broker or other custodian to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by the custodian.

 

At any time within 60 days after the effective time of the Transaction Merger, any Stockholder who has demanded an appraisal, but has neither commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined an appraisal proceeding as a named party, has the right to withdraw such Stockholder’s demand and accept the terms of the Transaction Merger by delivering a written withdrawal to Lazydays. If, following a demand for appraisal, you have withdrawn your demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262, you will have the right to receive the merger consideration for your shares of Lazydays capital stock.

 

Within 120 days after the effective date of the Transaction Merger, but not thereafter, any Stockholder who has delivered a demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262 will, upon written request to the surviving corporation, be entitled to receive a written statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Lazydays capital stock not voted in favor of the Merger Agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal rights have been received and the aggregate number of holders of these shares. This written statement will be mailed to the requesting Stockholder within 10 days after the Stockholder’s written request is received by the surviving corporation or within ten days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. Within 120 days after the effective date of the Transaction Merger, either the surviving corporation or any Stockholder who has delivered a demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262 may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of Lazydays capital stock held by all such Stockholders. Upon the filing of the petition by a Stockholder, service of a copy of the petition must be made upon the surviving corporation. The surviving corporation has no obligation to file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery in the event there are dissenting Stockholders, and Lazydays, which is expected to be the surviving corporation of the Transaction Merger, has no present intent to file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Accordingly, the failure of a Stockholder to file a petition within the period specified could nullify the Stockholder’s previously written demand for appraisal.

 

If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a Stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation will then be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to provide the Delaware Court of Chancery with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all Stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares of Lazydays capital stock and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares of Lazydays capital stock have not been reached by the surviving corporation. After notice to dissenting Stockholders who demanded appraisal of their shares of Lazydays capital stock , the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition, and to determine those Stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided thereby. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require such Stockholders to submit their stock certificates, if any, to the Delaware Court of Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceeding; and if any Stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such Stockholder.

 

80
 

 

After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares of Lazydays capital stock, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise the “fair value” of the shares of Lazydays capital stock owned by those Stockholders. This value will be exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Transaction Merger, but may include interest, if any, upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the Transaction Merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the Transaction Merger and the date of payment of the judgment. When the value is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of the value, with interest thereon accrued during the pendency of the proceeding, if the Delaware Court of Chancery so determines, to the Stockholders entitled to receive the same. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each Stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares of Lazydays capital stock entitled to appraisal as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time.

 

In determining fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc. , the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered, and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value a court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which could be ascertained as of the date of the merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.” In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc. , the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,” but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger , the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.”

 

You should be aware that the fair value of your shares of Lazydays capital stock as determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the value that you are entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement.

 

Costs of the appraisal proceeding may be imposed upon the surviving corporation and the Stockholders participating in the appraisal proceeding by the Delaware Court of Chancery as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon the application of a Stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any Stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares of Lazydays capital stock entitled to appraisal. In the absence of such a determination of assessment, each party bears its own expenses. Any Stockholder who had demanded appraisal rights will not, after the effective time of the Transaction Merger, be entitled to vote shares of Lazydays capital stock subject to that demand for any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other distribution with respect to those shares, other than with respect to payment as of a record date prior to the effective time of the Transaction Merger; however, if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective time of the Transaction Merger, or if the Stockholder delivers a written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the terms of the Transaction Merger within 60 days after the effective time of the Transaction Merger, then the right of that Stockholder to appraisal will cease and that Stockholder will be entitled to receive the merger consideration for shares of his or her Lazydays capital stock pursuant to the merger agreement. Any withdrawal of a demand for appraisal made more than 60 days after the effective time of the Transaction Merger may only be made with the written approval of the surviving corporation. No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any Stockholder without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just; provided, however, that this provision shall not affect the right of any Stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such Stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered in the merger agreement within 60 days after the effective date of the Transaction Merger .

 

Failure to follow the steps required by Section 262 for perfecting appraisal rights may result in the loss of appraisal rights. In view of the complexity of Section 262, Stockholders who may wish to dissent from the Transaction Merger and pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

The Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for the filing of required notifications and the expiration or termination of the required waiting periods under the HSR Act and filings with the Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 

Required Vote

 

The approval of each of the merger proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. Additionally, the Mergers will not be consummated if Andina has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon consummation of the Mergers after taking into account the holders of public shares that properly demanded that Andina convert their public shares into their pro rata share of the trust account.

 

The approval of both of the merger proposals is a condition to the consummation of the Mergers. If the merger proposals are not both approved, the other proposals (except an adjournment proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the shareholders of Andina for a vote.

 

The language of the resolution required in order to give effect to the Redomestication Merger is as follows:

 

RESOLVED THAT, as a Special Resolution: (a) Andina Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company be authorized to merge with and into Andina II Holdco Corp., a Delaware corporation so that Andina II Holdco Corp. be the surviving company and all the undertaking, property and liabilities of Andina Acquisition Corp. II vest in Andina II Holdco Corp. by virtue of such merger pursuant to the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands; and (b) the Plan of Merger between Andina Acquisition Corp. II and Andina II Holdco Corp. (the “ Plan of Merger ”) be authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects and Andina be authorized to enter into the Plan of Merger. 

 

THE ANDINA BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE ANDINA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE MERGER PROPOSALS.

 

81

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Introduction

 

Andina is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Mergers.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of November 30, 2017 combines the unaudited historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lazydays as of September 30, 2017 with the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of Andina as of November 30, 2017, giving effect to the Mergers as if they had been consummated as of that date.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended November 30, 2017 combines the unaudited historical consolidated statement of income of Lazydays for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 with the audited historical statement of operations of Andina for the year ended November 30, 2017, giving effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on December 1, 2016.

 

The historical financial information of Lazydays was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lazydays for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the audited consolidated financial statements of Lazydays for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. The historical financial information of Andina was derived from the audited financial statements of Andina for the years ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. This information should be read together with Lazydays’ and Andina’s audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes, “ Lazydays’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ,” “Andina’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

Description of the Merger

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Mergers will consist of (i) 2,857,143 shares of Holdco’s common stock and (ii) $85,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustments based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of the closing date (“Merger Consideration Cash”).

 

The Merger Consideration Cash to be paid will equal (A) $85,000,000 plus (B) if the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is greater than the Working Capital Upper Target (as defined in the Merger Agreement) an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital and the Working Capital Upper Target, minus (C) if the Working Capital Lower Target (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, an amount equal to the difference between the Working Capital Lower Target and the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, plus (D) if the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is less than the Debt Amount Target (as defined in the Merger Agreement), an amount equal to the difference between the Debt Amount Target and the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount, minus (E) if the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount is greater than the Debt Amount Target, an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount and the Debt Amount Target.

 

Andina has also entered into a series of securities purchase agreements with institutional investors for a $94.8 million PIPE Investment which will close simultaneously with the consummation of the Mergers. As a result of the PIPE Investment, on the closing, Andina will issue an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (with a stated value of $60.0 million), 3,993,479 shares of common stock (the “Holdco Shares”) and five-year warrants to purchase an additional 2,503,934 Holdco Shares exercisable at $11.50 per share.

 

89
 

 

Accounting for the Merger

 

The Mergers will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the excess of the purchase price of the assets acquired over the book value as of the date of acquisition will be allocated first to the identifiable intangible assets, then any remaining excess to goodwill. All other assets and liabilities to be acquired are primarily estimated to be stated at their fair values, which approximates their recorded cost. In addition, a deferred tax liability will be provided on the difference between the value allocated and their tax basis.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to Andina’s extension of the date by which it had to consummate a business combination. As a result of the extension amendments, an aggregate of 1,868,121 ordinary shares were redeemed for $19,111,274, which was released from the trust account. In addition, the pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the monthly contribution of $0.03 per share, or $469,628 in the aggregate, to the trust account for each public share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension amendments.

 

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 Mergers, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed 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 Mergers.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed 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 condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. Lazydays and Andina have not had any historical relationship prior to the Mergers. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of conversion into cash of Andina ordinary shares:

 

  Scenario 1 – Assuming no conversions into cash: This presentation assumes that no Andina shareholders exercise conversion rights with respect to their ordinary shares upon consummation of the Mergers; and
     
 

Scenario 2 – Assuming conversions of 1,649,196 Andina ordinary shares into cash: This presentation assumes that Andina shareholders exercise their conversion rights with respect to a maximum of 1,649,196 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Mergers at a conversion price of approximately $10.30 per share. The maximum conversion amount is derived from the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible assets required after giving effect to payments to converting shareholders.

 

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements are 2,857,143 Holdco Shares to be issued to Lazydays stockholders.

 

As a result of the Mergers, assuming no Andina shareholders elect to convert their shares into cash at the meeting, Lazydays will own approximately 26.4% of Holdco Shares to be outstanding immediately after the Mergers, Andina public shareholders will own approximately 24.2% of Holdco Shares, Andina’s initial founders will own approximately 12.0% of Holdco Shares, EarlyBirdCapital will own approximately 0.5% of Holdco shares and the PIPE investors will own approximately 36.9% of Holdco Shares, based on the number of Andina shares outstanding as of November 30, 2017 (in each case, not giving effect to any conversion of shares subsequent to November 30, 2017 or any shares issuable to the PIPE investors upon exercise of warrants or conversion of Series A Preferred Stock). If 1,649,196 ordinary shares are converted into cash, which assumes the maximum conversion of Andina’s shares and providing for a minimum of $5,000,001 in net tangible assets after giving effect to payments to converting shareholders, Lazydays will own approximately 30.9% of Holdco Shares, Andina public shareholders will own approximately 11.3% of Holdco Shares, Andina’s initial founders will own approximately 14.1% of Holdco Shares, EarlyBirdCapital will own approximately 0.6% of Holdco Shares and the PIPE investors will own approximately 43.1% of Holdco Shares to be outstanding immediately after the Mergers (in each case, not giving effect to any conversion of shares subsequent to November 30, 2017 or any shares issuable to the PIPE investors upon exercise of warrants or conversion of Series A Preferred Stock).

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

(A) Derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lazydays as of September 30, 2017.
   
(B) Derived from the unaudited condensed balance sheet of Andina as of August 31, 2017.
   
(1) To reflect the redemption of 708,052 ordinary shares at approximately $10.30 per share in connection with Andina’s shareholder meetings held on January 31, 2018, pursuant to which the shareholders approved the date by which the company has to consummate a Business Combination (“Extension Vote”).
   
(2) To reflect the funding of $0.03 per share for each public share of Andina’s ordinary shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Extension Vote.
   
(3) To reflect the release of cash from investments held in the trust account.
   
(4) To reflect the payment of estimated legal, financial advisory and other professional fees related to the Mergers.
   
(5) To record repayment of notes payable from related parties.
   
(6) In Scenario 1, which assumes no Andina shareholders exercise their conversion rights, the ordinary shares subject to conversion into cash amounting to $23,413 would be transferred to permanent equity. In Scenario 2, which assumes the maximum number of shares are converted into cash by the Andina shareholders, $16,120 would be paid out in cash. The $16,120, or 1,649,196 ordinary shares, represents the maximum conversion amount providing for a minimum of $5,000,001 in net tangible assets after giving effect to payments to converting shareholders based on a consummation of the Mergers on November 30, 2017.
   
(7) To reflect the PIPE Investment issuance of 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for proceeds of $60,000. The proceeds from the PIPE Investment were allocated based on the relative fair values of the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants. As a result, the relative fair value of the warrants amounting to $1,836 is recorded as a discount to the Series A Preferred Stock, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital.
   
(8) To reflect the PIPE Investment issuance of 3,993,479 shares of common stock for proceeds of $34,797.
   
(9) To reflect the beneficial conversion feature associated with the Series A Preferred Stock as a result of the effective conversion price being less than the commitment date fair value.
   
(10) To reflect cumulative dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock.
   
(11) Reflects the allocation, on a preliminary basis, of cost associated with the Mergers under the acquisition method of accounting as though the acquisition occurred on November 30, 2017. The final allocation of the purchase consideration for the Mergers will be determined after the completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed but in no event later than one year following the completion of the Mergers. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of the Company following the Mergers due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

 

92
 

 

Fair value of common stock issued (2,857,143 shares)   $ 29,429  
Cash paid     87,012  
Total consideration     116,441  
         
Allocated to:        
Cash   $ 8,079  
Receivables     21,358  
Inventories     105,446  
Prepaid expenses and other     3,327  
Property and equipment     51,969  
Other assets     388  
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities     (23,499 )
Income taxes payable     (2,680 )
Contingent liability     (667 )
Floor plan notes payable     (83,630 )
Long-term debt     (9,603 )
Financing liability     (54,376 )
Deferred tax liability     (17,850 )
Net liabilities assumed     (1,738 )
         
Excess of purchase price over net liabilities assumed before allocation to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill   $ 118,179  

 

 

An increase or decrease of 1% of Andina’s share price will result in an approximate $285 increase or decrease to the amount recorded as goodwill.

 

The fair value of the common stock was determined using the closing market price of Andina’s ordinary shares on January 22, 2018, which was $10.30 per share. Cash paid represents $85,000 in cash, plus adjustments of $2,012 based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of September 30, 2017.

 

The fair value of finished goods and merchandise inventory was determined based on estimated selling prices less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The fair value of property and equipment was determined using the indirect cost approach which utilizes fixed asset record information including historical costs, acquisition dates, and asset descriptions and applying asset category specific nationally recognized indices to the historical cost of each asset to derive replacement cost new less depreciation. Management has also made the initial determination that all other assets and liabilities to be acquired are primarily estimated to be stated at their fair values, which approximates their recorded cost. While a final determination of the value of the identifiable intangibles has not been completed, management has made an initial determination that approximately $81,100 of the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired should be allocated to identifiable intangible assets. The unidentified excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

 

    Amount     Estimated

Trade Name, Service Marks and Domain Names   $ 35,700       Indefinite

Intangible Assets     81,100          
Goodwill     37,079          
      118,179          

 

(12) Represents the income tax effect of the acquisition date differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, excluding goodwill. The deferred tax liability was calculated using a 34% tax rate.
(13)

To record a one-time stock-based compensation expense for options vested upon consummation of the Mergers.

 

Upon consummation of the Mergers, 4,310,000 rights would convert into 615,713 Holdco Shares.

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Condensed Combined Income Statements

 

(A) Derived from the unaudited consolidated statements of income of Lazydays for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017.
   
(B) Derived from the audited statements of operations of Andina for the year ended November 30, 2017.
   
(1) Represents an adjustment to eliminate direct, incremental costs of the Mergers which are reflected in the historical financial statements Lazydays and Andina in the amount of $504 and $340 as of November 30, 2017, respectively.
   
(2) To reflect the amortization of the values assigned to the dealer agreements acquired over an estimated useful life of 12 years and customer lists acquired over an estimated useful life of 12 years.
   
(3) Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account as of the beginning of the period.
   
(4) To record normalized blended statutory income tax benefit rate of 34.0% for pro forma financial presentation purposes.
   
(5) To record deemed dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of determining income (loss) attributable to common stockholders.
   
(6)

As the Mergers are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Mergers and the PIPE Investment have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period. For purposes of presenting diluted net income (loss) per share in the pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended August 31, 2017, the Company included the common stock equivalents of the Series A Preferred Stock, or 5,962,733 shares of common stock, in the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion is dilutive. For purposes of presenting diluted net income (loss) per share in the pro forma statement of operations for all securities, the Company assumed that the dilutive securities are not dilutive for the periods presented and, therefore, weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted purposes are the same.

 

The following presents the calculation of basic and fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding assumes the conversion of all convertible securities, the exercise of all warrants for cash proceeds and the exercise of the unit purchase options and securities underlying such unit purchase options for cash proceeds. If all securities were converted and exercised for cash, this would result in proceeds of approximately $62,449.

THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

 

Election of Directors

 

At the extraordinary general meeting, seven directors will be elected who will be the directors of Holdco upon consummation of the Mergers. Holdco’s board of directors will be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to Holdco’s first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. If management’s nominees are elected, Jordan Gnat will be Class A directors serving until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2019, Bryan Rich, Jr., Jerry Comstock and B. Luke Weil will be Class B directors serving until the annual meeting to be held in 2020 and William Murnane, Christopher S. Shackelton and Jim Fredlake will be Class C directors serving until the annual meeting to be held in 2021 and, in each case, until their successors are elected and qualified.

 

Required Vote

 

Under Cayman Islands law, the election of directors requires a plurality vote of the ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares of Andina not voted “FOR” a particular nominee (whether as a result of an abstention, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.

 

Unless authority is withheld or the shares of Andina are subject to a broker non-vote, the proxies solicited by the board of directors of Andina will be voted “FOR” the election of these nominees. In case any of the nominees becomes unavailable for election to the board of directors of Holdco, an event that is not anticipated, the persons named as proxies, or their substitutes, will have full discretion and authority to vote or refrain from voting for any other candidate in accordance with their judgment.

 

If the merger proposals are not approved, the director election proposal will not be presented at the meeting.

 

Following consummation of the Mergers, the election of directors of Holdco will be governed by its charter documents and the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

THE ANDINA BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ANDINA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS/INFORMATION STATEMENT.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between any of Holdco’s executive officers and directors or director nominees.

 

Independence of Directors

 

As a result of its securities being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the Mergers, Holdco will adhere to the rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of Holdco has consulted, and will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” as a person, other than an executive officer of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The parties have determined that Messrs. Shackelton, Fredlake, Rich, Weil, Gnat and Comstock will be considered independent directors. Holdco’s independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

 

Risk Oversight

 

Holdco’s board of directors will oversee the risk management activities designed and implemented by Holdco’s management. Holdco’s board of directors will execute its oversight responsibility both directly and through its committees. Holdco’s board of directors will also consider specific risk topics, including risks associated with Holdco’s strategic initiatives, business plans and capital structure. Holdco’s management, including its executive officers, is primarily responsible for managing the risks associated with operation and business of the company and will provide appropriate updates to the board of directors and the audit committee. Holdco’s board of directors will delegate to the audit committee oversight of its risk management process, and its other committees will also consider risk as they perform their respective committee responsibilities. All committees will report to Holdco’s board of directors as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of material or enterprise risk.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Upon consummation of the Mergers, Holdco will establish a separately standing audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee.

 

Audit Committee Information

 

Effective upon consummation of the Mergers, Holdco will establish an audit committee comprised of independent directors of Holdco. It is expected that the audit committee will initially consist of Messrs. Fredlake (Chairman), Rich and Weil. Each of the members of the audit committee will be independent under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. The audit committee will have a written charter. The purpose of the audit committee will be, among other things, to appoint, retain, set compensation of, and supervise Holdco’s independent accountants, review the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review Holdco’s accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls.

 

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

 

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors,” as defined for audit committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC, who are “financially literate.” “Financially literate” generally means being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, Holdco will be required to certify to the exchange that the audit committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

 

Mr. Fredlake will serve as a financial expert on the Audit Committee.

 

Nominating Committee Information

 

Effective upon consummation of the Mergers, Holdco will establish a nominating committee of the board of directors of Holdco comprised of Messrs. Comstock (Chairman), Shackelton and Rich. Each member of the nominating committee will be independent under the applicable listing standards. The nominating committee will have a written charter. The nominating committee will be responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on Holdco’s board of directors.

 

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

 

The nominating committee will consider persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others. The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the nominating committee charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

 

  should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;
     
 

should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the Holdco board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

     
  should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the stockholders.

 

The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Holdco board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

 

99

 

 

Compensation Committee Information

 

Effective upon consummation of the Mergers, the board of directors of Holdco will establish a compensation committee consisting of independent directors of Holdco. It is expected that the Compensation Committee will initially consist of Messrs. Shackelton (Chairman), Gnat and Weil. The compensation committee will have a written charter. The purpose of the compensation committee will be to review and approve compensation paid to Holdco’s officers and directors and to administer Holdco’s incentive compensation plans, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.

 

Any award made to an individual subject to the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be made by a committee consisting of two or more members of the board of directors of Holdco who are “nonemployee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Holdco will adopt a Code of Ethics that applies to all of its employees, officers, and directors. This includes Holdco’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The full text of Holdco’s Code of Ethics will be posted on its website at www.lazydays.com . Holdco intends to disclose on its website any future amendments of the Code of Ethics or waivers that exempt any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, persons performing similar functions, or Holdco’s directors from provisions in the Code of Ethics.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

None of the members of the compensation committee is currently, or has been at any time, one of Holdco’s officers or employees. None of Holdco’s executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of Holdco’s board of directors or compensation committee.

 

Shareholder and Interested Party Communications

 

Prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Holdco’s board of directors did not provide a process for stockholders or other interested parties to send communications to the board of directors of Holdco because management believed that it was premature to develop such processes given the limited liquidity of Holdco’s common stock at that time. However, management of Holdco following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement may establish a process for stockholder and interested party communications in the future.

If Mr. Murnane’s employment is terminated for any reason, he is entitled to receive any accrued benefits, including any earned but unpaid portion of his base salary, through the date of his termination, subject to withholding and other appropriate deductions.

In addition, Ms. Berney is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus based on the achievement of performance objectives. Ms. Berney’s target bonus is 75% of her base salary.

Maura Berney             66,666  2   $ 26.00     6/12/2027

 

(1) Mr. Murnane’s options vest 25% a year on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of December 2, 2016.

 

(2) Ms. Berney’s options vest 25% a year on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of June 12, 2017.

 

In connection with the hiring of certain members of Lazydays’ management team and other employees, including Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney as Lazydays’ new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, Lazydays, in 2017 granted options to such new hires to purchase Company common stock. The option agreements provide that the options vest in full in connection with the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the underlying agreements and plan) of Lazydays provided the executive is employed by Lazydays on the date of the consummation of the change in control. As the Mergers will constitute a change in control, all outstanding options, including those granted to Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney, will vest on the consummation of the Mergers. In consideration for the cancellation of options outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers, the option holders, including Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney, will receive merger consideration (in cash and shares), after taking into account the exercise price of the options and any applicable withholding.

 

Transaction Bonus

 

Lazydays has historically maintained transaction bonus arrangements with certain members of its management team, including Mr. Fleming. The transaction bonus arrangements provided for payment of a bonus based on a formula in the event of a qualifying transaction, provided the executive remains employed by Lazydays on the date of consummation of the transaction or has experienced a qualifying termination within a specific period of time prior to the consummation of the transaction. In 2017, Lazydays replaced its transaction bonus arrangements with a plan, referred to as the Transaction Incentive Plan. Similar to the prior arrangements, the Transaction Incentive Plan provides for a bonus based on a formula in the event of a qualifying transaction, provided the executive remains employed by Lazydays on the date of consummation of the transaction or has been terminated by Lazydays without cause within two months prior to the consummation of the transaction (provided payment is made by March 15th following the end of the year in which such involuntary termination occurs).

 

104

 

 

The consummation of the Mergers will constitute a qualifying transaction for purposes of the Transaction Incentive Plan. As of the date hereof, there are five employees who participate in the Transaction Incentive Plan, including Mr. Fleming. The aggregate value of the compensation ultimately payable under the Transaction Incentive Plan in connection with the consummation of the Transaction Merger will be based on the final amount of consideration paid by Holdco after any applicable adjustments based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of the closing of the Transaction Merger and any payments to Holdco in respect of indemnification claims under the merger agreement. The approximate aggregate amount of the bonuses to be paid under the Transaction Incentive Plan to participants who are employees of Lazydays, assuming the release of all holdbacks and escrows and no adjustment to the purchase price, is $1,560,000.

 

Retirement Benefits

 

Lazydays maintains a tax-qualified defined contribution plan that meets the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, commonly called a 401(k) plan, for substantially all of its employees. The 401(k) plan is available on the same basis to all employees, including the Named Executive Officers. Each participant in the 401(k) plan can elect to defer from 0% to 100% of compensation, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). Lazydays may also make discretionary matching contributions in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) plan.

 

Named Executive Officers Following the Mergers

 

It is anticipated that following the consummation of the Mergers, William Murnane, Maura Berney and Ronald Fleming will continue in their positions and be Named Executive Officers of Holdco. Holdco has agreed to enter into a new employment agreement with Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney effective as of, and subject to, the consummation of the Mergers. See “ Holdco Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Mergers – Employment Agreements.”

 

Holdco Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Mergers

 

Executive Compensation

 

Following the closing of the Mergers, Holdco intends to develop an executive compensation program that is consistent with Lazydays’ existing compensation policies and philosophies, which are designed to align compensation with Holdco’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling Holdco to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of Lazydays.

 

Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by a compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco, which will be established at the closing of the Mergers. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the executive compensation program to be adopted by the compensation committee. The executive compensation program actually adopted will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion.

 

We anticipate that decisions regarding executive compensation will reflect our belief that the executive compensation program must be competitive in order to attract and retain our executive officers. We anticipate that the compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco will seek to implement our compensation policies and philosophies by linking a significant portion of our executive officers’ cash compensation to performance objectives and by providing a portion of their compensation as long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards. We have agreed to enter into employment agreements with William Murnane, who will be Chief Executive Officer following the Mergers, and Maura Berney, who will be Chief Financial Officer following the Mergers, with such agreements being effective on the consummation of the Mergers. A description of their employment agreements is below under “ Holdco Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Mergers – Employment Agreements ”. We have also agreed to grant Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney options to purchase shares of common stock of Holdco, subject to stockholder approval of our 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as described under “Holdco Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Mergers — Stock-Based Awards” below.

 

We anticipate that compensation for our executive officers will have three primary components: base salary, an annual cash incentive bonus and long-term incentive based compensation in the form of stock-based awards.

 

105

 

 

Base Salary

 

Except as described below, it is expected that our Named Executive Officers’ base salaries will continue as described under “ Lazydays Executive Officer and Director Compensation — Salaries ” subject to the terms of the employment agreements described under “ Lazydays Executive Officer and Director Compensation — Employment Agreement ” and will be reviewed annually by the compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco based upon advice and counsel of its advisors.

 

Non-Equity Incentive Bonuses

 

Holdco intends to use annual cash incentive bonuses for the Named Executive Officers to tie a portion of their compensation to financial and operational objectives achievable within the applicable fiscal year. Holdco expects that, near the beginning of each year, the compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco will select the performance targets, target amounts, target award opportunities and other terms and conditions of the non-equity incentive bonuses for the Named Executive Officers, subject to the terms of any employment agreement. Following the end of each year, the compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco will determine the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the Named Executive Officers.

 

Stock-Based Awards

 

Holdco intends to use stock-based awards to reward long-term performance of the Named Executive Officers. Holdco believes that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of stock-based awards will align the incentives of its Named Executive Officers with the interests of its stockholders and serve to motivate and retain the individual Named Executive Officers. Stock-based awards will be awarded under the 2018 Plan, which is being submitted to our shareholders for approval at the extraordinary general meeting. For a description of the 2018 Plan, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “ The Incentive Plan Proposal. ” On the closing of the Mergers, Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney will each be granted an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdco. It is expected that Mr. Murnane will be granted an option to purchase approximately 5.0% of the shares of common stock of Holdco and that Ms. Berney will be granted an option to purchase approximately 2.0% of the shares of common stock of Holdco, in each case, on a fully diluted basis and subject to adjustment. The options will vest based on Holdco’s achievement of certain trading prices for at least thirty days during a thirty-five day period and will be subject to such terms and conditions as contained in the 2018 Plan and the option award agreements. The options will expire five years following the date of grant. The exercise price of the options will be the fair market value on the grant date.

 

Employment Agreements

 

We have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney to be effective as of, and subject to, the consummation of the Mergers. The employment agreements with Mr. Murnane and Ms. Berney provide for an initial base salaries of $540,000 and $325,000, respectively, subject to annual discretionary increases. Following the Mergers, Mr. Murnane will no longer receive any additional compensation for his service as a member (or Chairman) of the board of directors and his base salary has been increased, accordingly. In addition, each executive is eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans adopted by Holdco from time to time and is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus based on the achievement of performance objectives. Mr. Murnane’s target bonus is 100% of his base salary and Ms. Berney’s target bonus is 75% of her base salary. The employment agreements also provide that each executive is to be granted an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdco, as discussed above.

 

106

 

 

The employment agreements provide that if the executive is terminated for any reason, he or she is entitled to receive any accrued benefits, including any earned but unpaid portion of base salary through the date of termination, subject to withholding and other appropriate deductions. In addition, in the event the executive resigns for good reason or is terminated without cause (all as defined in the employment agreement) prior to January 1, 2022, subject to entering into a release, Holdco will pay the executive severance equal to (i) two times base salary and average bonus for Mr. Murnane and (ii) one times base salary and average bonus for Ms. Berney.

 

The employment agreements also provide that the executive shall not divulge confidential information, shall not disparage Holdco and/or Lazydays and shall not, during employment and twelve months thereafter, compete with Holdco and/or the Company or any of its subsidiaries or solicit their customers or employees.

 

We anticipate that the employment arrangements for our other Named Executive Officers will remain in place following the consummation of the Mergers. Any new agreements or arrangements with the Named Executive Officers following the Mergers will be subject to approval of the compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco.

 

Other Compensation

 

Holdco expects to continue to maintain various employee benefit plans, including medical and 401(k) plans, in which the Named Executive Officers will participate.

 

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

 

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a federal income tax deduction for certain compensation in excess of $1.0 million per year paid to certain employees of publicly traded companies. Beginning January 1, 2018, on account of the passage and signing of the Tax Reform Act, this limitation will apply to the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, any other named executive officers and anyone who is such a covered person after December 31, 2016. Prior to January 1, 2018, this limitation only applied to the chief executive officer and the three most highly-paid executive officers of the company (other than the chief executive officer and chief financial officer). In addition, prior to January 1, 2018, compensation that met the requirements of performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code was excluded from the deduction limit. Beginning January 1, 2018 (with the exception of certain grandfathered arrangements), a deduction will be denied for any compensation payable to covered employees that exceeds $1.0 million, regardless of whether such compensation is performance-based compensation. To retain highly skilled executives and remain competitive with other employers, the compensation committee may authorize compensation that will not be deductible under Section 162(m) or otherwise.

 

Director Compensation

 

We expect that our compensation committee of the board of directors of Holdco will determine the annual compensation to be paid to the members of the board of directors of Holdco upon completion of the Mergers.

 

107

 

 

THE CHARTER PROPOSALS

 

The charter proposals, if approved, will approve the following material differences between the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Holdco to be in effect following the business combination and Andina’s current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association:

 

  the name of the new public entity will be “Lazydays Holdings, Inc.” as opposed to “Andina Acquisition Corp. II”;
     
  Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, as opposed to Andina having 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares;
     
  Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Andina’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Andina within a specified period of time; and
     
  Holdco’s constitutional documents do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contains.

 

As noted above, certain provisions of Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will not be included in Holdco’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The provisions that are proposed to be deleted, which apply only during the period that will terminate upon the consummation of the Mergers, are:

 

  the definition in Section 1.1 of terms that are no longer used once the following amendments have been effected;
     
  the portion of Section 3.3 that prohibits the ordinary shares, rights, and warrants underlying the units sold in the initial public offering from being separated until 90 days after the date of the prospectus related to such initial public offering unless the underwriters in such initial public offering determined an earlier date was acceptable;
     
  the portion of Section 8.1 that relates to the repurchase of Andina’s ordinary shares either in connection with redemption under Section 48.3 (described below) or mandatory repurchase of certain shares held by the initial shareholders in the event the underwriters had not exercised the over-allotment in the initial public offering to its full extent;
     
  the reference in Section 17.3 to Section 48.13;
     
  Section 48.1, which provides that Section 48 applies during the period commencing upon the adoption of such provision and ending upon either the consummation of a business combination or liquidation of the trust fund in accordance with the provisions of Section 48, and that such section may not be amended prior to a business combination;
     
  Section 48.2, which requires that Andina submit such business combination to its shareholders for approval. In the case of a meeting called to approve such business combination, Section 48.2 further provides that any business combination approved by a majority of shares may not be consummated unless Andina has net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 upon such consummation;
     
  Section 48.3, which provides that, upon a vote to approve a business combination, the holders of public shares, other than initial shareholders, officers and directors, may elect to have their public shares repurchased by Andina for cash at a price equal to such person’s pro rata share of the trust fund. Section 48.3, however, prohibits a shareholder, acting alone or together with an affiliate or in concert with another person for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of Andina ordinary shares, from exercising this redemption right with respect to more than 20% of Andina public shares;

 

108

 

 

  Section 48.4, which establishes the required time period within which Andina must consummate a business combination and, if it fails to do so within such period, requires Andina to distribute the proceeds of the trust fund to the public shareholders on a pro rata basis, subject to any funds set aside for claims of creditors, and dissolve;
     
 

Section 48.5, which specifies that holders of public shares are entitled to receive distributions from the trust account only upon a repurchase by Andina in connection with the consummation of a business combination, after a meeting approving such transaction, or upon liquidation of the trust account in the event a business combination is not effected within the required time period;

     
  Section 48.6, which prohibits the directors of Andina from issuing additional shares that would be permitted to participate in any manner in the trust account or that would vote as a class with the shares issued in the initial public offering on any business combination;
     
  Section 48.7, which requires approval of uninterested, independent directors of any transaction between Andina and (i) any shareholder owning an interest in Andina’s voting securities that gives such holder a significant influence over Andina and (ii) any director or executive officer or any affiliate of Andina’s directors and executive officers;
     
  Section 48.8, which requires review and approval of any payments made to Andina’s audit committee, with any interested directors abstaining;
     
  Section 48.9, which permits a director of Andina to vote in respect to an evaluation of a business combination in which he may have a conflict of interest, provided that such conflict of interest is disclosed to the other directors and that such director may not vote in connection with the business combination; and
     
  Section 48.11, which specifies that the Andina audit committee will monitor compliance with the terms of the initial public offering and will take all action necessary to rectify any identified events of non-compliance or otherwise cause compliance with the terms of the initial public offering.

 

In the judgment of Andina’s board of directors, each of the foregoing amendments is desirable for the following reasons:

 

  the portion of Section 3.3 proposed to be deleted relates to the voluntary separation of Andina’s units into their component parts for trading, which took place shortly after the initial public offering; and
     
  the other provisions proposed to be deleted relate to the operation of Andina as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination and will not be applicable after consummation of the business combination with Lazydays. Accordingly, such sections will serve no further purpose.

 

Recommendation and Vote Required

 

Each of the charter proposals must be approved by special resolution by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

If the merger proposals are not approved, the charter proposals will not be presented at the meeting.

 

THE ANDINA BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ANDINA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE CHARTER PROPOSALS.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

 

Holdco compared to Andina  

 

Holdco is a Delaware corporation incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Delaware law and Holdco’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will govern the rights of its stockholders. Andina is an exempted company incorporated under the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Holdco will differ in certain material respects from the memorandum and articles of association of Andina. As a result, when you become a stockholder of Holdco, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of Andina. Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of Andina and Holdco according to applicable law and/or the organizational documents of Andina and Holdco. You also should review the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws of Holdco (as same will be amended and restated immediately prior to the Mergers) attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, to understand how these laws apply to Holdco and Andina.

Provision  

Holdco

(A Delaware

General Corporation)

 

Andina

(An Exempted Company

under Cayman Islands Law)

Applicable legislation   General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware   The Companies Law (2016 Revision)
         
Special Vote Required for Combinations with Interested Stockholders/Shareholders   A corporation may not engage in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder.   No Similar Provision
         
Appraisal Rights   Generally a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger.   Minority shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.
         
Stockholder/Shareholder Meetings; Quorum   Stockholder approval of mergers and amendments of constitutional documents require a majority of outstanding shares; most other stockholder approvals require a majority of those present and voting, provided a quorum is present.   Subject to the articles of association, matters which require shareholder approval, whether under Cayman Islands statute or the company’s articles of association, are determined (subject to quorum requirements) by simple majority of the shares present and voting at a meeting of shareholders. Where the proposed action requires approval by “Special Resolution” (such as the amendment of the company’s constitutional documents) the approval of not less than two-thirds of the shares present and voting at a meeting of shareholders is required.
         
    Quorum is set in the constitutional documents, but cannot be less than one-third of outstanding shares.  

Quorum is set in the company’s articles of association.

Stockholder/Shareholder Consent to Action Without Meeting   The certificate of incorporation may provide that its stockholders may not act by written consent.   Shareholder action by written resolutions (whether unanimous or otherwise) may be permitted by the articles of association. The articles of association may provide that shareholders may not act by written consent.
         
Inspection of Books and Records   Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.   Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
         
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits   A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements.   In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company only in certain limited circumstances.
         
Removal of Directors;   Except in the case of a corporation with a classified board or with cumulative voting, any director or the entire board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. Because the Holdco board is and will be classified after the closing of the Mergers, a director may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Holdco entitled to vote in any annual election of directors or class of directors, voting together as a single class.   A company’s articles of association may provide that a director may be removed for any or no reason and that, in addition to shareholders, boards may be granted the power to remove a director.
         
    The board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.   Subject to the articles of association, the board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.
Classified or Staggered Boards   Classified boards are permitted.   Classified boards are permitted.
         
Fiduciary Duties of Directors   Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.   A director owes a fiduciary duty to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole.
         
        In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill.
         
        Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed directly to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.
         
Indemnification of Directors and Officers   A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith.   A Cayman Islands exempted company generally may indemnify its directors or officers, except with regard to fraud or wilful default.
         
Limited Liability of Directors   Permits the limiting or eliminating of the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit.   Liability of directors may be limited, except with regard to their own fraud or wilful default.

 

Organizational Documents

 

Holdco   Andina
The purpose of Holdco shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL.   The objects for which Andina is established are unrestricted and Andina shall have full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

111

 

 

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which Holdco shall have authority to issue is 105,000,000 of which 100,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of $0.0001 per share and 5,000,000 shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of $0.0001 per share.

  The share capital of Andina is US$10,100 divided into 100,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each.
     
Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.   Preferred Shares. The Directors may allot, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of Preferred Shares (including fractions of a Preferred Share) with or without preferred, deferred or other rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividends or other distribution, voting, return of capital or otherwise and to such persons, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper, and may also (subject to the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the articles of association) vary such rights.
     
Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote.   Ordinary Shares. The Directors may allot, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of Ordinary Shares (including fractions of an Ordinary Share) with or without preferred, deferred or other rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividends or other distribution, voting, return of capital or otherwise and to such persons, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper, and may also (subject to the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the articles of association) vary such rights.

 

112

 

 

The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders after the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second Annual Meeting of Stockholders after the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation, and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third Annual Meeting of Stockholders after the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation. Commencing at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the DGCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in Holdco’s Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation, or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation, or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.   The Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of Directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. Upon the adoption of these amended and restated Articles, the existing Directors shall by resolution classify themselves as Class A, Class B or Class C Directors. The Class A Directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at Andina’s first annual general meeting, the Class B Directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at Andina’s second annual general meeting and the Class C Directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at Andina’s third annual general meeting. Commencing at Andina’s first annual general meeting, and at each annual general meeting thereafter, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual general meeting after their election. Except as the Statute or other applicable law may otherwise require, in the interim between annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings called for the election of Directors and/or the removal of one or more Directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, additional Directors and any vacancies in the board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of Directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in Andina’s charter documents), or by the sole remaining Director. All Directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A Director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

 

113

 

 

Election of directors need not be by ballot unless Holdco’s Bylaws so provide.   Votes of shareholders shall be decided on a poll.
     
The Board of Directors shall have the power, without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to make, alter, amend, change, add to, or repeal the Bylaws .   The memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of the shareholders.
     
The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of Holdco which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon Holdco and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of Holdco, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.   No Similar Provision
     
The directors are empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by Holdco; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of Holdco’s Certificate of Incorporation, and to any Bylaws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaw so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been made.   The business of Andina shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of Andina

 

114

 

 

A director of Holdco shall not be personally liable to Holdco or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Holdco or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of Holdco shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this provision by the stockholders of Holdco shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of Holdco with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.   Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against wilful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, wilful default or willful neglect.

 

115

 

 

Holdco, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit, or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification shall be paid by Holdco in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by Holdco as authorized hereby.   See above response.
     
Unless Holdco consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Holdco, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of Holdco to Holdco or Holdco’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or Holdco’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court located within the State of Delaware, or if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants.   No Similar Provision

 

116

 

 

If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of Section A immediately above is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce Section A immediately above (an “FSC Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.    
     

The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to Holdco or any of its officers or directors in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of the Certificate of Incorporation or in the future. In addition to the foregoing, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall not apply to any other corporate opportunity with respect to any of the directors or officers of Holdco unless such corporate opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Holdco and such opportunity is one Holdco is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for Holdco to pursue.

  No Similar Provision

 

Holdco Compared to Lazydays

 

The stockholders of Lazydays are currently entitled to certain rights and are subject to certain obligations under Lazydays’ certificate of incorporation, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 22, 2009 (the “ Lazydays Charter ”) and, to the extent binding on the stockholders of Lazydays, under the Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2009, by and among Lazydays and the parties thereto (the “ Lazydays Stockholders’ Agreement ”). If the Mergers are consummated, the current stockholders of Lazydays, as shareholders of Holdco following the consummation of the Mergers, would no longer be entitled to any rights or subject to any obligations under the Lazydays Charter or, to the extent applicable, under the Lazydays Stockholders’ Agreement. Certain of these rights and obligations, which are subject to conditions and limitations as set forth in the Lazydays Charter or the Lazydays Stockholders’ Agreement, as applicable, include:

 

  ●  under the Lazydays Charter, preemptive rights in favor of Lazydays’ stockholders who hold at least 5% of the shares of common stock of Lazydays with respect to issuances by Lazydays of certain debt and equity securities of Lazydays;

THE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PROPOSAL

 

General

 

On January 16, 2018, the Board of Directors of Holdco adopted the 2018 Plan, subject to the approval of Andina’s shareholders. The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to attract and retain personnel of the highest caliber, provide incentive for officers, directors, employees and other key persons and to promote the well-being of Holdco. It is in the best interest of Holdco and its stockholders to provide to officers, directors, employees, consultants and other independent contractors who perform services for Holdco, through the granting of stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards, the opportunity to participate in the value and/or appreciation in value of Holdco’s common stock. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Holdco believes that the 2018 Plan (a) will provide Holdco with significant means to attract and retain talented personnel, (b) will result in saving cash, which otherwise would be required to maintain current employees and adequately attract and reward personnel and others who perform services for Holdco, and (c) consequently, will prove beneficial to Holdco’s ability to be competitive.

 

If approved by Andina’s shareholders at the meeting, the 2018 Plan will become effective on the consummation of the Mergers. Andina’s board of directors is recommending that its shareholders approve the material terms of the 2018 Plan as described below. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the specific language of the 2018 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Annex C .

 

Summary of the 2018 Plan

 

Awards

 

The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards (collectively, “Awards”): (a) stock options, (b) restricted stock, (c) restricted stock units, (d) stock appreciation rights, and (e) other stock-based awards. Awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, as determined by Committee (as defined below). Subject to anti-dilution adjustments as provided in the 2018 Plan, the 2018 Plan provides for a total of thirteen percent (13%) of the Holdco Shares outstanding on the closing of the Mergers on a fully diluted basis to be available for distribution pursuant to the 2018 Plan. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the fair market value per Holdco Share immediately following the closing date of the transactions is greater than $8.75 per share the number of Holdco Shares authorized for Awards granted under the 2018 Plan shall be increased automatically based on a formula[1], but not in excess of eighteen percent (18%) of the Holdco Shares then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis. If any outstanding Award is canceled, forfeited, delivered to Holdco as payment for the exercise price or surrendered to Holdco for tax withholding purposes, Holdco Shares allocable to such Award may again be available for Awards under the 2018 Plan.

 

Administration. The 2018 Plan may be administered by a Committee (the “ Committee ”) consisting of two or more members of the Board appointed by the Board. Each member of the Committee shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be “non-employee directors” for the purpose of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and, shall also qualify as “outside directors” for the purpose of the performance-based compensation exception under Code Section 162(m) and an independent director under the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association. The Committee will determine, among other things, the persons to whom Awards will be granted, the type of Awards to be granted, the number of shares of Holdco subject to each Award and the share price. The Committee will also determine the term of each Award, the restrictions or limitations thereon, and the manner in which each such Award may be exercised or, if applicable, the extent and circumstances under which shares of common stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award will be deferred. The Committee may delegate some of the functions referred to above. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2018 Plan.

 

  (1)

The formula is ((X-Y)/Y)*(number of Holdco Shares that represent 13% of fully diluted Holdco Shares as of closing date). X is the value of one option (for one Holdco Share) with an exercise price of $8.75, and Y is the value of one option (for one Holdco Share) with an exercise price at fair market value of one Holdco Share. Options shall be valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method, assuming 40% volatility, a risk free rate equal to the 3-month Treasury Bill and a 5-year term.

 

118

 

 

Eligibility and Participation. Current and prospective officers, directors, service providers and other employees of Holdco or any subsidiary (but excluding any person whose eligibility would adversely affect the compliance of the 2018 Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3) who are at the time of the grant of an Award under the 2018 Plan employed by (or providing services to) Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco and who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of Holdco or any subsidiary of Holdco are eligible to be granted Awards under the 2018 Plan. Eligibility under the 2018 Plan shall be determined by the Committee.

 

A participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve Holdco as a director, executive officer, other key employee or service provider, or otherwise, will not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a participant under the 2018 Plan. Participants may receive one or more Awards under the 2018 Plan.

 

Forms of Awards

 

Stock Options . The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options, subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan are nontransferable by the optionee during his lifetime. Options granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan will expire if not exercised within 10 years of the grant (five years in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to an eligible employee owning stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all shares of Holdco or a parent or subsidiary of Holdco immediately before the grant (“ 10% Stockholder ”)). Options may be granted to optionees in such amounts and at such prices as may be determined, from time to time, by the Board or the Committee. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option will not be less than the fair market value of the shares underlying the option on the date the option is granted, provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be less than such fair market value on the date of grant.

 

No shares of common stock of Holdco may be issued upon the exercise of any option granted under the 2018 Plan until the full option price has been paid by the optionee and applicable withholding requirements have been satisfied. The Committee may grant individual options under the 2018 Plan with more stringent provisions than those specified in the 2018 Plan.

 

Options become exercisable in such amounts, at such intervals and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee provides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no options may be exercise on or after the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights . Stock Appreciation Rights are an award entitling the grantee, upon exercise, to receive an amount of our common stock determined by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of Holdco common stock over the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and is not to be less than the fair market value of the Holdco Shares on the date of grant. No Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised on or after the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

 

119

 

 

Restricted Stock Awards . Under the 2018 Plan, the Committee may grant restricted Holdco Shares. Restricted stock awards give the recipient the right to receive a specified number of Holdco Shares, subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions and conditions of forfeiture as the Committee deems appropriate. Restrictions may include limitations on the right to transfer the stock until the expiration of a specified period of time and forfeiture of the stock upon the occurrence of certain events such as the termination of employment prior to expiration of a specified period of time.

 

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units are similar to restricted stock except that the award takes the form of phantom units equal to the value of Holdco Shares instead of Holdco Shares. A Restricted Stock Unit award is the grant by the Committee of an unfunded, unsecured right to receive payment or common stock from Holdco, upon the expiration of a vesting period or such other time periods as set forth in the award agreement, in an amount equal to the fair market value of a Holdco Share on such date.

 

Performance-Based Awards and Performance Goals . Certain Awards under the 2018 Plan may be granted subject to performance conditions.

 

Under the 2018 Plan, the Committee may use the following performance measures (either individually or in any combination) to set performance targets with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards: (i) consolidated income before or after taxes; (ii) EBITDA; (iii) adjusted EBITDA; (iv) net operating income; (v) net income; (vi) net income per share of Holdco; (vii) book value per share of Holdco; (viii) total shareholder return; (ix) expense management; (x) return on investment; (xi) improvements in capital structure; (xii) profitability of an identifiable business unit; (xiii) maintenance of improvement of debt to equity ratio or other ratios; (xiv) stock price; (xv) funds from operations, as the same may or may not be adjusted; (xvi) cash flow; and (xvii) working capital. For Awards not intended to comply with the performance exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee can also use such other standards as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

120

 

 

Notwithstanding the adoption of the 2018 Plan to allow for performance-based awards and its submission to stockholders, Holdco and/or the Company reserves the right to pay its employees, including any recipient of performance-based awards under the 2018 Plan, amounts which may or may not be tax-deductible under Section 162(m) or other provisions of the Code.

 

Other Stock Based Awards . Other Stock-Based Awards, which may include awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, common stock of Holdco.

 

Effect of a Change of Control

 

Upon a “Change of Control” (as defined in the 2018 Plan) unless provided in an Award Agreement, upon a Change in Control which occurs while the grantee is still employed or in the service of Holdco and/or the Company (and its subsidiaries), the grantee’s unvested awards will immediately become vested.

 

In addition, the Committee may take one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the assumption of such Awards, or the substitution for such Awards of new awards of the successor company or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and related exercise, conversion or purchase prices, consistent with the 2018 Plan; (ii) provide written notice to any holder of such Award that the Award shall be terminated to the extent that it is not converted, exchanged or exercised prior to a date certain specified in such notice (which date shall be no sooner than the consummation of any such transaction) or (iii) provide that the holder of any such Award, to the extent then vested, shall be entitled to receive from Holdco and/or the Company an amount equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (x) the fair market value of a share of common stock of Holdco (determined on the basis of the amount received by a holder of common stock of Holdco in connection with such transaction and consistent with Section 409A, if applicable) with respect to a share of common stock of Holdco over (y) the purchase price, exercise price or conversion price which would be payable or otherwise applicable for a share of common stock of Holdco upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Award and (B) the number of shares of common stock of Holdco subject to the vested portion of the Award not theretofore converted, exchanged or exercised.

 

Term and Amendment

 

The 2018 Plan will become effective as of the Effective Date and no Award will be granted more than ten years after the Effective Date. The Board of Directors of Holdco may at any time, and from time to time, amend any of the provisions of the 2018 Plan, and may at any time suspend or terminate the 2018 Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective unless and until it has been duly approved by the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock of Holdco if the failure to obtain such approval would adversely affect the compliance of the 2018 Plan with the requirements of applicable law or listing standards of the applicable exchange. The Board of Directors of Holdco or the Committee, as the case may be, may amend the terms of any Award granted under the 2018 Plan; provided, however, that subject to certain provisions of the 2018 Plan, no such amendment may be made by the Board of Directors of Holdco or the Committee, as the case may be, which in any material respect impairs the rights of the participant without the participant’s consent, except for such amendments which are made to cause the Award to comply with applicable law or listing standards.

 

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following information is not intended to be a complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of participation in the 2018 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by references to the Code and the regulations adopted under the Code. The provisions of the Code described in this section include current tax law only and do not reflect any proposals to revise current tax law. The federal income tax consequences applicable to officers, directors, and other persons who are subject to potential liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act may be different than the federal income tax consequences applicable to persons who are not subject to Section 16(b). The federal income tax consequences applicable to all persons, whether or not subject to Section 16(b), are described below. This summary omits the tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a participant resides.

 

121

 

 

Incentive Stock Options . Generally, under the Code, an optionee will not realize taxable income by reason of the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan (see, however, discussion of alternative minimum tax below). If an optionee exercises an Incentive Stock Option and does not dispose of the shares until the later of (i) two years from the date the option was granted and (ii) one year from the date of exercise, the entire gain, if any, realized upon disposition of such shares will be taxable to the optionee as long-term capital gain, and Holdco will not be entitled to any deduction. If an optionee disposes of the shares within the period of two years from the date of grant or one year from the date of exercise (referred to as a “disqualifying disposition”), the optionee generally will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition and Holdco will receive a corresponding deduction in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the lesser of (a) the amount, if any, realized on the disposition and (b) the fair market value of the shares on the date the option was exercised over (ii) the option price. Any additional gain realized on the disposition will be short-term or long-term capital gain and any loss will be long-term or short-term capital loss. The optionee will be considered to have disposed of a share if he or she sells, exchanges, makes a gift of or transfers legal title to the share (except transfers, among others, by pledge, on death or to a spouse). If the disposition is by sale or exchange, the optionee’s tax basis will equal the amount paid for the shares plus any ordinary income realized as a result of the disqualifying disposition.

 

The exercise of an Incentive Stock Option may subject the optionee to the so-called “alternative minimum tax” (referred to as “ AMT ”). The amount by which the fair market value of the shares purchased at the time of the exercise exceeds the option exercise price is an adjustment for purposes of computing the AMT. In the event of a disqualifying disposition of the shares in the same taxable year as exercise of the Incentive Stock Option, no adjustment is then required for purposes of the AMT, but regular income tax, as described above, may result from such disqualifying disposition.

 

An optionee who surrenders shares as payment of the exercise price of his or her Incentive Stock Option generally will not recognize gain or loss on his or her surrender of such shares. The surrender of shares previously acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option in payment of the exercise price of another Incentive Stock Option, is, however, a “disposition” of such stock. If the Incentive Stock Option holding period requirements described above have not been satisfied with respect to such stock, such disposition will be a disqualifying disposition that may cause the optionee to recognize ordinary income as discussed above.

 

Under the Code, all of the shares received by an optionee upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by surrendering shares will be subject to the Incentive Stock Option holding period requirements. Of those shares, a number of shares (referred to as the “Exchange Shares”) equal to the number of shares surrendered by the optionee will have the same tax basis for capital gains purposes (increased by any ordinary income recognized as a result of a disqualifying disposition of the surrendered shares if they were Incentive Stock Option shares) and the same capital gains holding period as the shares surrendered.

 

For purposes of determining ordinary income upon a subsequent disqualifying disposition of the Exchange Shares, the amount paid for such shares will be deemed to be the fair market value of the shares surrendered. The balance of the shares received by the optionee will have a tax basis (and a deemed purchase price) of zero and a capital gains holding period beginning on the date of exercise. The Incentive Stock Option holding period for all shares will be the same as if the option had been exercised for cash.

 

Non-Qualified Stock Options. Generally, there will be no federal income tax consequences to either the optionee or Holdco on the grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options pursuant to the 2018 Plan. On the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the optionee has taxable ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the exercise date over the option price of the shares. Holdco will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction (subject to the limitations contained in Code Section 162(m)) in an amount equal to such excess, provided that Holdco complies with applicable reporting rules.

 

122

 

 

Upon the sale of stock acquired by exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, optionees will realize long-term or short-term capital gain or loss depending upon their holding period for such stock.

 

Stock Awards . The taxability of a Stock Award to a participant is dependent upon the extent to which the award is restricted on the date of grant. If a Stock Award is either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant will recognize taxable ordinary income on the date of grant. If a Stock Award is both non-transferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture on the date of grant, then unless an election is made as described below, a participant will not recognize taxable ordinary income on the date of grant, but will at such time or times as the Stock Award becomes either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares at that time. Within thirty days of receipt of a Stock Award that is not transferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant may file an election with the Internal Revenue Service to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares subject to the award at the time of receipt. In such event, any subsequent appreciation in the value of such shares will not be taxable as compensation to a participant upon the vesting of shares subject to the award. However, if shares subject to the award are forfeited subsequent to such election, a participant will not be entitled to a tax deduction. For purposes of determining the amount of taxable gain or loss upon a subsequent disposition of shares issued pursuant to such an award, the amount recognized as ordinary income to a participant will be treated as the cost basis for such shares. Shares which are held for more than one year after vesting (or in the event of an election as described above, the date of receipt) generally will qualify for long-term capital gain treatment. Holdco will be entitled to a deduction in such amount and at such time as ordinary income becomes taxable to the participant.

 

Restricted Stock Units. A participant will not realize income upon the grant of restricted stock units, but will realize ordinary income, and Holdco will be entitled to a corresponding deduction (subject to the limitations of Code Section 162(m)), when the restricted stock units are settled in cash and/or shares of common stock of Holdco. The amount of such ordinary income and deduction will be the amount of cash received plus the fair market value of the shares of common stock received on the date of issuance.

 

Performance Awards . The tax consequences of a performance award depend upon the nature of the underlying award and if and when the performance goals are achieved. If a performance award consists of a promise to deliver common stock at a future date based upon the satisfaction of certain targets, such awards will be subject to federal income taxation as ordinary income based upon the fair market value of the common stock on the date such performance awards are earned by a participant by satisfying the performance targets, provided such awards are not then subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

 

Holdco Deduction. Generally, whenever a participant realizes ordinary income under the 2018 Plan, a corresponding deduction is available to Holdco provided Holdco complies with certain reporting requirements. Under Code Section 162(m), however, Holdco will be denied a deduction for certain compensation exceeding $1.0 million paid to certain of its executives. Prior to January 1, 2018, this included the chief executive officer and the three other highest paid executive officers (other than the chief financial officer). Beginning January 1, 2018, this includes the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, any other named executive officers of the company and any such covered persons who were covered person after December 31, 2016. In addition, for years prior to January 1, 2018 and for certain grandfathered compensation, certain performance based compensation is excluded from the $1.0 million limit.

 

123

 

 

New Plan Benefits

 

The benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to any executive officers or employees under the 2018 Plan are not currently determinable since grants are at the discretion of the Committee, except with respect to our new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as described above.

 

Required Vote

 

Adoption of the incentive compensation plan proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the holders of Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

THE ANDINA BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ANDINA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PROPOSAL.

 

124

 

 

THE PIPE PROPOSAL

 

Holdco has entered into a series of securities purchase agreements with institutional investors for a $94.8 million PIPE Investment which will close simultaneously with the consummation of the Mergers. At the closing of the PIPE Investment, Holdco will issue an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Holdco (with a stated value of $60.0 million), 3,993,479 Holdco Shares and five-year warrants to purchase an additional 2,503,934 Holdco Shares exercisable at $11.50 per share; provided that the number of Holdco Shares being issued in the PIPE Investment may be reduced in order to ensure that two investors that will be investing an aggregate of $22,750,000 in the PIPE Investment will hold less than up to 9.99% of the outstanding Holdco Shares at closing and to the extent such number is reduced, they will receive pre-funded warrants in lieu of such Holdco Shares. The investors in the PIPE Investment will be granted certain registration rights as set forth in the securities purchase agreements.

 

If approved by Andina’s shareholders at the meeting, the PIPE Investment will close simultaneously with the consummation of the Mergers. Andina’s board of directors is recommending that its shareholders approve the PIPE Investment as described herein.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

The material terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

The Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to all outstanding capital stock of Holdco. Except as required by law, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis together with the holders of the common stock of Holdco, and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of Holdco’s stockholders. The Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into Holdco Shares at the holder’s election at any time, at an initial conversion price of $10.0625 per Holdco Share, subject to adjustment (as may be adjusted, the “ Conversion Price ”). The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, forward and reverse splits, combinations and similar events, as well as for certain dilutive issuances.

 

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue at an initial rate of 8% per annum (the “Dividend Rate”), compounded quarterly, and be payable quarterly in arrears. If Holdco does not declare and pay dividends on any dividend payment date, such accrued and unpaid dividends, until paid in full in cash, will accrue at the then applicable Dividend Rate plus 2%. The Dividend Rate will be increased to 11% per annum, compounded quarterly, in the event Holdco’s senior indebtedness less unrestricted cash during any trailing twelve month period ending at the end of any fiscal quarter is greater than 2.25 times EBITDA (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock) for such preceding twelve (12)-month period. The Dividend Rate will be reset to 8% at the end of the first fiscal quarter when Holdco’s senior indebtedness less unrestricted cash during the trailing twelve month period ending at the end of such quarter is less than 2.25 times EBITDA for such preceding twelve (12)-month period.

 

If, at any time following the second anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the volume weighted average price of Holdco’s common stock equals or exceeds $25.00 (as adjusted for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events) for a period of thirty consecutive trading days, Holdco may force the conversion of any or all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. From and after the eighth anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, Holdco may elect to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in cash at the stated value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. From and after the ninth anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock has the right to require Holdco to redeem all of such holder’s outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in cash at the stated value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

125

 

 

In the event of any liquidation, merger, sale, dissolution or winding up of Holdco, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to (i) payment in cash of the stated value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, or (ii) convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock of Holdco and participate on an as-converted basis with the holders of common stock of Holdco.

 

So long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders thereof, by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, shall have the right to designate two members to the board of directors of Holdco.

 

The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock which is attached as Annex D.

 

The warrants to be issued to the purchasers in the PIPE Investment are substantially similar to the outstanding public warrants of Andina, the terms of which are described in the section titled “ Description of Holdco Securities – Warrants ,” except that the warrants issued to the purchasers in the PIPE Investment will be exercisable on a cashless basis at any time at the holders’ option and include adjustments on the happening of certain other actions such as rights offerings undertaken by Holdco.

 

The securities purchase agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock also includes the following rights:

 

  Subject to applicable securities laws and regulations, any purchaser that continues to hold Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 5% or more of the then issued and outstanding Holdco Shares shall also have a preemptive right to purchase its pro rata share of all equity securities that Holdco may, from time to time, purpose to sell and issue after the consummation of the Mergers (subject to certain exceptions).
     
  If Holdco seeks to consummate any debt financings (other than (i) non-distressed floor plan financings on customary terms and conditions and with an interest rate of not greater than 5% per annum, (ii) the replacement or refinancing of existing indebtedness where the replaced or refinanced indebtedness does not exceed the existing amount of indebtedness and are not on terms materially worse than the indebtedness being replaced or refinanced, and (iii) advances or other extensions of credit under a revolving credit facility or floor plan credit facility) after the consummation of the Mergers, the purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a right of first refusal to provide the funding necessary for such debt financings provided that such purchasers still hold an aggregate of at least $10 million of the Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have a period of 15 business days to notify Holdco of its intention to exercise its right.
     
  If Holdco receives in excess of $1 million as a result of indemnification claims made in respect of certain breaches of representations and warranties of Lazydays under the merger agreement, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to require Holdco to utilize such amounts in excess of the $1 million to redeem their shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the liquidation preference of such shares.

 

Required Vote

 

Adoption of the PIPE proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the holders of Andina ordinary shares entitled to vote and voting in person or by proxy on such proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. The PIPE Investment is conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and the consummation of the PIPE Investment is a condition to the closing of the Mergers under the merger agreement (the “PIPE Closing Condition”). Accordingly, if the PIPE Proposal is not approved, the parties will be unable to consummate the Mergers unless Lazydays waives the PIPE Closing Condition and Andina thereafter finds alternative financing to pay the cash purchase price of the Transaction Merger. If the PIPE Proposal is not approved and Lazydays refuses to waive the PIPE Closing Condition, the parties will not consummate the Mergers and Andina may be forced to dissolve and liquidate as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

THE ANDINA BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ANDINA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE PIPE PROPOSAL.

 

126

 

 

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

 

The adjournment proposal allows Andina’s board of directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary. In no event will Andina solicit proxies to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting or consummate the Mergers beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands law. The purpose of the adjournment proposal is to provide more time for the Andina initial shareholders, Lazydays and the Stockholders to make purchases of public shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the merger proposals and to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the Mergers. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposals — Interests of Andina’s Directors and Officers in the Mergers .”

 

In addition to an adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting upon approval of an adjournment proposal, the board of directors of Andina is empowered under Cayman Islands law to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order. In such event, Andina will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its shareholders of the postponement.

 

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

 

If an adjournment proposal is presented to the meeting and is not approved by the shareholders of Andina, Andina’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the consummation of the Mergers or that the conditions to consummating the Mergers have not been met.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO ANDINA

 

Introduction

 

Andina was incorporated on July 1, 2015 in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business. Andina’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to any particular industry or geographic region although it focused its search for target businesses in the Andean region of South America and in Central America. Prior to executing the merger agreement with Lazydays, Andina’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

 

Formation

 

In July 2015, Andina issued 1,150,000 shares of common stock to Andina’s initial shareholders for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.02 per share, including an aggregate of up to 150,000 shares subject to compulsory repurchase for an aggregate purchase price of $0.01 to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial shareholders would collectively own 20.0% of the issued and outstanding shares after the initial public offering (excluding the sale of the private units). On December 4, 2015, the underwriters advised Andina that the over-allotment option would not be exercised and, as a result, 150,000 shares of Andina were compulsory repurchased in December 2015.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

On December 1, 2015, Andina closed its initial public offering of 4,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share of Andina, one right to receive one-seventh of one Andina ordinary share upon consummation of an initial business combination and one warrant each to purchase one half of one Andina ordinary share at a purchase price of $11.50 per full share upon consummation of an initial business combination. The units from the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $40,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Andina consummated the private sale of 310,000 units to its initial stockholders. The private units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $3,100,000. The private units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering, except that the warrants included in the private units are not redeemable and are exercisable on a cashless basis as long as held by the original purchasers or their permitted transferees. In addition, the holders of the private unit securities have agreed (A) to vote the underlying shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to its pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such a business combination unless Andina offers holders of public shares the right to have their shares converted to cash from the trust account, (C) not to convert any underlying shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that such underlying shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The purchasers have agreed that these units will not be sold or transferred by them (except to certain permitted transferees) until after Andina has completed an initial business combination.

 

Extensions of Time to Complete Business Combination

 

On each of August 30, 2017, October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2018, Andina held an extraordinary general shareholder meeting to extend the date by which Andina had to consummate a business combination and is currently seeking a further extension of time to consummate an initial business combination. Accordingly, Andina now has until April 1, 2018 (or such later date as Andina shareholders may approve) to consummate the business combination with Lazydays. In connection with such meetings, holders of an aggregate of 1,868,121 public shares exercised their conversion rights and had their public shares converted for a pro rata portion of the trust account at such dates. There is no limit on the number of extensions of time to complete a business combination that Andina may take (although Lazydays would have the right to terminate the merge agreement if the Mergers are not connected on or before June 30, 2018).

 

128

 

 

In connection with the extensions of time to consummate a business combination, certain of Andina’s initial shareholders agreed to loan Andina $0.03 for each public share that was not converted for each extension month utilized. Accordingly, an amount of approximately $469,628 has been loaned to Andina and deposited in the Trust Account for the extensions. The loans will not bear interest and will be repayable by Andina to the lenders upon consummation of an initial business combination. If an initial business combination is not consummated by the required time period, the loans will be forgiven unless Andina has funds available to it outside of the trust account to repay such loans.

 

Proceeds Held in Trust

 

The net proceeds from the initial public offering, plus the net proceeds from the private placement of private units, plus the proceeds of the loans for the extensions referred to above have been placed in a trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except as described in the prospectus for Andina’s initial public offering and in the section entitled “ Other Information Related to Andina — Andina’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ,” these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and Andina’s winding up, dissolving and liquidating upon its failure to consummate a business combination within the required time period.

 

Fair Market Value of Target Business

 

The target business or businesses that Andina acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination, although Andina may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. Andina’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination with Lazydays.

 

Conversion Rights

 

Under Andina’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, in connection with any vote on a proposed business combination, the public shareholders may seek to convert their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination, subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for Andina’s initial public offering. Accordingly, in connection with the business combination with Lazydays, the Andina public shareholders may seek to convert their public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Shareholder Meeting

 

In connection with any vote for a proposed business combination, including the vote with respect to the merger proposals, all of Andina’s initial shareholders, as well as all of its officers and directors, have agreed to vote the initial shares and the shares included in the private units, as well as any ordinary shares acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of such proposed business combination.

 

However, at any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Andina or its securities, the Andina initial shareholders, Lazydays or the Stockholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Andina from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire ordinary shares of Andina or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposals. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfying the conditions to the closing of the business combination where it appears that such conditions would otherwise not be met. All shares of Andina repurchased by Andina’s affiliates pursuant to such arrangements would be voted in favor of the proposed business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

Automatic Dissolution and Subsequent Liquidation if No Business Combination

 

Andina’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that we will continue in existence only until April 1, 2018. If Andina has not completed a business combination by such date (or such later date as may be approved by the shareholders of Andina), it will trigger its automatic dissolution. There is no limit on the number of extensions of time to complete a business combination that Andina may take (although Lazydays would have the right to terminate the merger agreement if the Mergers are not consummated on or before June 30, 2018). This has the same effect as if our board of directors and shareholders had formally voted to approve our winding up and dissolution and formally began a voluntary winding up procedure under the Companies Law. As a result, no vote would be required from Andina’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up and dissolution. Under the Companies Law, in the case of a voluntary liquidation procedure, a liquidator would give at least 21 days’ notice to creditors to file a claim. Andina anticipates its notifying the trustee of the trust account to begin liquidating the trust account promptly after the expiration of such 21-day period and anticipates it will take no more than 10 business days to effectuate the distribution of the assets thereof to all of our public shareholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account, inclusive of any interest, plus any remaining net assets (subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors). Andina’s initial shareholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their initial shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to Andina’s rights and warrants which will expire worthless. Andina will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust fund. If such funds are insufficient, B. Luke Weil has contractually agreed to advance it the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than $15,000) and has contractually agreed not to seek repayment of such expenses.

 

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Andina’s creditors (which could include vendors and service providers Andina has engaged to assist it in any way in connection with its search for a target business and that are owed money by us, as well as target businesses themselves) which could have higher priority than the claims of its public shareholders. B. Luke Weil has contractually agreed that if we liquidate the trust account prior to the consummation of a business combination, he will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by it for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to it. Accordingly, if a claim brought by a target business or vendor did not exceed the amount of funds available to Andina outside of the trust account or available to be released to it from interest earned on the trust account balance, B. Luke Weil would not have any personal obligation to indemnify such claims as they would be paid from such available funds. However, if a claim exceeded such amounts, the only exceptions to the obligations of B. Luke Weil to pay such claim would be if the party executed a waiver agreement. If B. Luke Weil refused to satisfy his obligations, Andina would be required to bring a claim against him to enforce its indemnification rights. Furthermore, as Andina’s board cannot waive these indemnification obligations because it would be a breach of their fiduciary obligations, if they refused to satisfy their obligations, Andina would be required to bring a claim against B. Luke Weil to enforce Andina’s indemnification rights. Accordingly, although such agreements are legally binding obligations on the part of B. Luke Weil, as he is a resident of a jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands, Andina may have difficulty enforcing its rights under such agreements. Therefore, the actual per-share liquidation price could be less than $10.30, due to claims of creditors.

 

Andina’s public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of the expiration of its existence and its automatic dissolution and subsequent liquidation or if they properly redeem their respective Andina ordinary shares for cash upon consummation of the Mergers or upon certain amendments to Andina’s charter prior to the consummation of the Mergers. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

 

130

 

 

Additionally, in any liquidation proceedings of the company under Cayman Islands’ law, the funds held in its trust account may be included in its estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its shareholders. To the extent any such claims deplete the trust account, Andina cannot assure you it will be able to return to its public shareholders the liquidation amounts payable to them. Additionally, Andina cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its shareholders amounts owed to them by it. Furthermore, Andina’s board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and the company to claims for having paid public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Andina cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

 

Facilities

 

Andina currently maintains its principal executive offices at 250 West 57 th Street, Suite 2223, New York, NY 10107. The space is provided to Andina at no cost by a third party affiliated with B. Luke Weil, Andina’s non-executive Chairman of the Board. Andina considers its current office space adequate for its current operations. Upon consummation of the Mergers, the principal executive offices of Holdco will be located at 6130 Lazy Days Blvd., Seffner, FL 33584 and its telephone number will be (813) 246-4999.

 

Employees

 

Andina has four executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Andina’s matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to its affairs. Andina does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Andina’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of Andina’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Andina’s consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

 

Results of Operations

 

Andina has neither engaged in any business operations nor generated any revenues to date. Andina’s entire activity from inception up to the closing of its initial public offering on December 1, 2015 was in preparation for that event. Subsequent to the initial public offering, Andina’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and it will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of the initial business combination. Andina has, and expects to continue to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income is not expected to be significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (treasury securities). Andina expects to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

 

For the year ended November 30, 2017, Andina had net losses of approximately $722,000, which consisted of operating expenses of approximately $1 million offset by interest income from Andina’s trust account of approximately $279,000.

 

For the year ended November 30, 2016, Andina had net losses of approximately $359,000, which consisted of operating expenses of approximately $514,000 offset by interest income from Andina’s trust account of approximately $154,000.

 

Andina’s operating expenses principally consisted of expenses related to its public filings and listing and identification and due diligence related to a potential target business, and to general operating expenses including printing, insurance and office expenses. Until Andina consummates a business combination, it will have no operating revenues.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

As of November 30, 2017, Andina had approximately $31,100 in its operating bank account, approximately $135,000 of interest income held in the trust account available to be released to it and a working capital deficit of approximately $782,000.

 

Through November 30, 2017, Andina’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of approximately $686,000 held outside of the trust account from the sale of the units upon closing of the initial public offering, $25,000 from the sale of the insider shares, advances from B. Luke Weil in an aggregate amount of $139,000, which Andina repaid on December 1, 2015 from the proceeds received upon closing of the initial public offering, promissory notes for up to approximately $661,500 from related parties, of which an aggregate of $636,700 was received. During the year ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, Andina received an aggregate of approximately $302,000 and $103,000, respectively, from interest released from the trust account for working capital purposes.

 

134

 

 

If needed to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target business or consummating an intended initial business combination, Andina’s initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan Andina funds as may be required. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, Andina may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from Andina’s trust account would be used for such repayment. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of an initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of a business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 57,142 Andina ordinary shares if $500,000 of notes were so converted as the rights included in the units would result in an additional 7,142 shares of Andina being issued, as well as 50,000 warrants to purchase 25,000 Andina ordinary shares).

 

Based on the foregoing, Andina believes that it has sufficient funds available to operate its business through the earlier of consummation of a business combination or April 1, 2018 (or such later date as may be approved by shareholders at a meeting called for such purpose). Over this time period, Andina will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, paying for travel expenditures and consummating the business combination.

 

Independent Auditors’ Fees

 

The firm of Marcum LLP (“ Marcum ”) acts as Andina’s independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Marcum for services rendered. Marcum acts as Lazydays’ independent registered public accounting firm. Marcum will act as Holdco’s independent public accounting firm after consummation of the Mergers. Marcum has not waived its right to make claims against the funds in Andina’s trust account for fees of any nature owed to it.

 

Audit Fees

 

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, audit fees for Andina’s independent registered public accounting firm were $65,000 and $53,000, respectively. Audit fees related to the initial audit, review of Form S-1 and amendments to the S-1, quarterly review and annual audit for the period ended November 30, 2015 for Andina’s independent registered public accounting firm were approximately $80,000.

 

Audit-Related Fees

 

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, audit-related fees for Andina’s independent registered public accounting firm were $17,000 and $0, respectively.

 

Tax Fees

 

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, fees for tax services for Andina’s independent registered public accounting firm were $0 and $0, respectively.

 

All Other Fees

 

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, fees for other services were $202,000 and $0, respectively .

 

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

Andina’s audit committee approved all of the foregoing services before the work was commenced in accordance with Section 10A(i) of the Exchange Act. 

  

Code of Ethics

 

On November 24, 2015, Andina’s board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to Andina’s directors, officers, and employees. Andina will provide, without charge, upon request, copies of its code of ethics. Requests for copies of Andina’s code of ethics should be sent in writing to Andina Acquisition Corp. II, 250 West 57 th Street, Suite 2223, New York, NY 10107.

The Company

 

The Company operates Recreation Vehicle (“RV”) dealerships and offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services for RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts. The Company generates revenue by providing RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts a full spectrum of products: RV sales, RV-repair and services, financing and insurance products, third-party protection plans, after-market parts and accessories, RV rentals and RV camping. The Company provides these offerings through its Lazydays branded dealerships. Lazydays is known nationally as The RV Authority TM , a registered trademark that has been consistently used by the Company in its marketing and branding communications since 2013.

 

The Company believes, based on industry research and management’s estimates, it operates one of the world’s largest RV dealerships, measured in terms of on-site inventory, located on 126 acres outside Tampa, FL. The Company also operates RV dealerships in Tucson, AZ and three cities in Colorado, Loveland, Denver and Longmont. Lazydays offers the largest selection of RV brands in the nation featuring more than 2,500 new and pre-owned RVs. The Company has over 300 service bays across all locations and has RV parts and accessories stores at all locations. Lazydays also has RV rental fleets in all three markets and availability to two on-site campgrounds with over 700 RV campsites. The Company welcomes over 500,000 visitors to its dealership locations annually, and employs over 700 people at the five facilities. The Company’s dealership locations are staffed with knowledgeable local team members, providing customers access to extensive RV expertise. The Company believes its dealership locations are strategically located in key RV markets. Based on information collected by the Company from reports prepared by Statistical Surveys, these key RV markets (Florida, Colorado and Arizona) account for a significant portion of new RV units sold on an annual basis in the U.S. The Company’s dealerships in these key markets attract customers from all states, except Hawaii.

 

The Company attracts new customers primarily through Lazydays dealership locations as well as digital and traditional marketing efforts. Once the Company acquires customers through a transaction, those customers become part of the Company’s customer database where the Company leverages customized CRM tools and analytics to actively engage, market and sell its products and services.

 

Company Strengths

 

The Iconic Brand. With over forty years of history dating back to 1976, Lazydays is an iconic, industry leading brand that is synonymous with the RV lifestyle and is known nationally as the RV Authority TM , a registered trademark that has been consistently used by the Company in its marketing and branding communications since 2013. Based on a research report prepared by Russell Research in November / December 2017, Lazydays is the second most well-known R.V. dealership brand among a national audience of non-Lazydays customers surveyed. According to the report, over 85% of Lazydays customers and over 80% of prospective customers surveyed believe that Lazydays is among the category leaders in the industry. The Company’s consistent quality, breadth and depth of offerings, as well as its comprehensive range of RV lifestyle resources, have resulted in the Company’s customers having adoring loyalty to and lasting trust in the Company’s brands.

In 2017, the Foundation was awarded the distinguished Arthur J. Decio Humanitarian Award by Ally Financial Inc. for outstanding civil and community charity outreach.

 

Leading Market Position and Scale. Lazydays believes it is one of the largest RV retailers in the United States. As per a research report prepared by Russell Research in November / December 2017, Lazydays is the second most well-known RV brand among the national audience. The Company’s scale and its long-term stability make it attractive to the Company’s original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), suppliers, financiers and business partners. The strong relationship with OEMs and suppliers enables the Company to negotiate attractive product pricing and availability. The Company also aligns with its OEMs on product development in which the Company leverages its customer base to provide feedback on new products. The Company’s scale and strong relationship with its financing and insurance partners enables it to offer extensive financing products and insurance plans that fit almost every customer’s needs.

 

Consistent Processes and Procedures . Lazydays utilizes a system of process documentation and implementation called the “Lazydays Way.” Lazydays believes that the Lazydays Way allows it to implement and maintain very efficient and consistent operating procedures across all of its dealerships.

 

Variable Cost Structure and Capital Efficient Model. Lazydays’ decentralized and flat management structure coupled with incentive programs focused on profitability have allowed Lazydays to achieve a highly variable cost structure. The Company’s digital marketing and analytics capabilities provides it with significant flexibility and meaningfully improves its marketing productivity and efficiency via targeted marketing programs. The Company believes its operating model leads to strong and stable margins through economic cycles, resulting in what it believes to be high cash flow generation, low capital expenditure requirements and strong returns on invested capital.

 

Experienced Team. Lazydays’ management team has extensive dealership and industry experience. The Company offers highly competitive compensation tightly tied to performance, which has allowed the Company to attract and retain its highly capable team.

Lazydays Offerings

 

New and Used Vehicles

 

New Vehicles: Lazydays offers a comprehensive selection of new RVs across almost the entire range of price points, classes and floor plans, from entry level travel trailers to Class A diesel pushers, at its dealership locations and on its website. Lazydays has formed strategic alliances with all leading RV manufacturers. The core brands that the Company sells, representing 96% of the new vehicles that were sold by the Company in 2016, are manufactured by Thor Industries, Winnebago Industries, Forest River, Inc., Tiffin Motorhomes, and REV Group, Inc.

 

Used Vehicles: Lazydays sells a comprehensive selection of used RVs at its dealership locations. The primary source of used RVs is through trade-ins associated with the sale of new and used RVs. Lazydays is also very active in the used RV market and its extensive RV knowledge and experience allows Lazydays to buy used RVs at attractive prices. Used RVs are generally reconditioned in the Company’s service departments prior to sale. Used RVs that do not meet the Company’s standards for retail sale are wholesaled.

 

Dealership Finance and Insurance

 

Vehicle financing: Lazydays arranges for financing for vehicle purchases through third-party finance sources in exchange for a commission payable to it. Lazydays does not directly finance its customers’ purchases, and its exposure to loss in connection with these financing arrangements generally is limited to the commissions that it receives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company arranged financing transactions for a majority of the total number of new and used units sold by it.

 

Protection Plans: Lazydays offers a variety of third-party protection plans and services to the purchasers of its RVs as part of the delivery process, including extended vehicle service contracts, tire and wheel protection, guaranteed auto protection (known as “GAP”, this protection covers the shortfall between a customer’s loan balance and insurance payoff in the event of a casualty) and property insurance. These products are primarily underwritten and administered by independent third parties. Lazydays is primarily compensated on a straight commission basis.

 

Parts and Services and Other

 

Repair and Maintenance : In addition to preparing RVs for delivery to customers, Lazydays’ service and repair operations, with over 300 service bays, provide onsite general RV maintenance and repair services at all the Company’s dealership locations. Lazydays employs over 170 highly skilled technicians, with many of them being certified with the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”) or the National RV Dealers Association (“RVDA”). The Company is equipped to offer comprehensive services and perform OEM warranty repairs for most RV components. The Company also maintains a body shop, cabinet shop, chassis shop and windshield and glass repair shop with specialized equipment and facilities.

 

Installation of parts and accessories: Lazydays’ full-service repair facilities enable Lazydays to install all parts and accessories sold at its dealership locations, including, among other items, towing and hitching products, satellite systems, braking systems, leveling systems and appliances. While other RV dealerships may be able to install RV parts and accessories and other retailers may be able to sell certain parts and accessories, Lazydays’ ability to both sell and install necessary parts and accessories affords the Company a competitive advantage over online retailers and big box retailers that do not have service centers designed to accommodate RVs and other RV dealerships that do not offer a comprehensive inventory of parts and accessories.

 

138

 

 

Collision repair : Lazydays offers collision repair services in all markets and the Company’s Tampa, Florida, Tucson, Arizona and Loveland, Colorado locations are equipped with full body paint booths. Lazydays’ facilities are equipped to offer a wide selection of collision repair services, including fiberglass front and rear cap replacement, windshield replacement, interior remodel solutions and paint work. The Company can perform collision repair services for a wide array of insurance carriers.

 

Parts and Accessories Store: With sizable parts and accessories inventory, in addition to a fully stocked onsite retail and accessory stores and access through the Lazydays’ networks for hard to find parts, Lazydays provides new and pre-owned RV buyers the option of dealer installed accessories, such as tow hitches, satellite dishes and specialized suspension systems that can be included in each buyer’s financing or aftermarket through the Lazydays retail store footprint. The Company believes that its Tampa, Florida Accessories & More store is among the largest aftermarket parts and accessories stores in the state of Florida.

 

RV Rentals : Lazydays offer consumers interested in the RV lifestyle a fleet of vehicles available for rent. Lazydays’ rentals offer comprehensive amenities allowing for a more premier camping experience and an introduction to the RV lifestyle.

The resort also offers rental units that can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people with one and a half bathrooms, full indoor and outdoor kitchens and other amenities.

Growth Strategy

 

Grow the Company’s Customer Base . Lazydays believes its strong brands, market position, ongoing investment in its service platform, broad product portfolio and full array of RV offerings will continue to provide it with competitive advantages in targeting and capturing a larger share of consumers in addition to the growing number of new RV enthusiasts that will enter the market. The Company continuously works to attract new customers to its existing dealership locations through targeted integrated digital and traditional marketing efforts, attractive offerings and access to its wide array of resources for RV enthusiasts. The Company has focused specifically on marketing to the fast-growing demographics of retiring baby boomers and younger millennial and Generation X market entrants. The Company also markets to these segments through partnership marketing efforts and its sponsorships of college and professional athletic events, music festivals, motorsports events, RV campsites across the country, and other RV lifestyle efforts.

 

Greenfield Dealership Locations. Lazydays may establish dealership locations in new and existing markets to expand its customer base. Target markets and locations are identified by employing proprietary data and analytical tools. The Company believes there is ample white space for additional development opportunities. The Company intends to open greenfield sites that will grow its customer base and present attractive risk-adjusted returns and significant value-creation opportunities.

 

Dealership Location Acquisitions. The RV dealership industry is highly fragmented with many independent RV dealers. The Company has used, and plans to continue to use acquisitions of independent dealers as a fast and capital efficient alternative to new dealership location openings to expand its business and grow the Company’s customer base. Lazydays believes its experience and scale allow it to operate acquired locations efficiently. Lazydays intends to continue to pursue acquisitions that will grow its customer base and present attractive risk-adjusted returns and significant value-creation opportunities.

 

139

 

 

Service and Collision. Lazydays believes that its service and repair capabilities represent a significant opportunity for incremental revenue growth, especially as the Company grows geographically. Lazydays frequently welcomes customers who travel from across the country to have their vehicles serviced by Lazydays’ team of service and repair professionals. As a result, the service and repair department serves as a means of attracting potential customers to the Lazydays facilities and offers greater additional sales opportunities for Lazydays.

 

Parts and Accessories Store “Accessories & More”. Aftermarket RV parts and accessories are typically under-represented at RV dealerships. The Company believes that parts and accessories are an important part of the RV lifestyle and serve to engage customers with the Lazydays brand outside of the typical RV buying and servicing cycle. The Company understands that RV owners need a reliable resource for RV necessities and products that make their camping experience more enjoyable. Lazydays stores have expansive offerings and provide access to RV product experts to assist RV owners in their RV lifestyle needs. Lazydays believes that the “Accessories & More” strategy encompasses all of the needs of the RV consumer.

 

RV Rentals. Renting RVs continues to grow in popularity as a cost-effective vacation alternative. Lazydays has a fleet of vehicles available for rental at four dealership locations. The Company’s rental vehicles have a robust amenity offering and the Company’s value proposition includes unlimited mileage, add-ons and trip planning for consumers resulting in a superior rental experience. Lazydays believes that RV rentals drive interest in the RV lifestyle and provides an opportunity to introduce new customers to the Lazydays brand. Lazydays is well positioned to take advantage of this growing opportunity.

 

Leverage the Company’s scale and cost structure to improve operating efficiency. As Lazydays grows, it is positioned to leverage its scale to achieve competitive operating margins. The Company manages its new and used RV inventories so that its dealerships’ supply and mix of vehicles are in line with seasonal sales trends and minimize the Company’s carrying costs. In addition, the Company leverages its scale to reduce costs related to purchasing certain equipment, supplies, and services through national vendor relationships.

 

Customers and Markets

 

The RV industry is characterized by RV enthusiasts’ investment in, and steadfast commitment to, the RV lifestyle. The estimated number of U.S. households that own an RV is approximately 9 million.

 

Owners invest in insurance, extended service contracts, parts and accessories, roadside assistance and regular maintenance to protect and maintain their RVs. They typically invest in new accessories and the necessary installation costs as they upgrade their RVs. They also spend on services and resources as they plan, engage in, and return from their road trips. Furthermore, based on industry research and management’s estimates, the Company believes that RV owners typically trade-in to buy another RV every four to five years.

 

Per the RVIA 2016 Industry Profile, the RV industry had another strong year in 2016 as wholesale shipments were reported at 430,691 units, up 15.1% over 2015 and the highest total in 10 years. The strong performance in the RV industry continued the longest period of sustained growth for the RV industry, which is now at seven years. The retail value of all 2016 wholesale shipments exceeded $17.7 billion, a gain of more than 7% over the $16.5 billion total recorded in 2015 to provide further evidence of the robust health of the RV market. There are two main categories of RVs: motorhomes (motorized units) and towables (units that are towed behind a car, SUV or pickup). Motorized units include Class C Motorhomes, with prices for new units typically ranging from $60,000 to $120,000, Class A Gas Motorhomes, with prices for new units typically ranging from $75,000 to $160,000, Class A Diesel Motorhomes, with prices for new units typically ranging from $150,000 to $500,000, and Class B Motorhomes, with prices for new units typically ranging from $75,000 to $145,000. Towable units include travel trailers with prices for new units typically ranging from $8,000 to $60,000 and fifth wheel trailers, with prices for new units typically ranging from $24,000 to $90,000. RV manufacturers are now producing more innovative models, such as lightweight towables and smaller, fuel efficient motorhomes. In addition, green technologies, such as solar panels and energy efficient components are appearing on an increasing number of RVs.

 

140

 

 

Generally, used RVs are sold at a lower price level than comparable new RVs and the sale of used RVs has historically been more stable through business cycles than the sale of new vehicles.

 

Lazydays believes RV trips remain the least expensive type of vacation and allow RV owners to travel more while spending less. RV trips offer savings on a variety of vacation costs, including, among others, airfare, lodging and dining. While fuel costs are a component of the overall vacation cost, the Company believes fluctuations in fuel prices are not a significant factor affecting a family’s decision to take RV trips. Per the RVIA, Lazydays believes the average annual mileage use of an RV is between 3,000 miles and 5,000 miles.

 

RV ownership is multi-generational with the strongest sales among the baby boomer and Generation X (age 35-74) segments. The Company has also experienced strong year over year growth among the younger millennial and Generation X age groups. Based on RVIA industry data, robust growth was built on both an expansion of the traditional market as well as on an extension to new entrants that are younger and more ethnically diverse. The RV lifestyle has become more inclusive, providing more leisure options to every generation at an affordable price. Historically sales were built on strong economic gains. Recent volume increases have been influenced by the appeal of the changes in the size, options and features in the units created by RV manufacturers and suppliers. RV sales will continue to benefit from the aging baby-boomers as well as millennials. The number of consumers between the ages of 55 and 74 will total 79 million by 2025, 15% higher than in 2015, and the number between age 30 and 45 will total 72 million by 2025, 13% higher than in 2015.

 

Competition

 

The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the RV industry are breadth and depth of product selection, value pricing, convenient dealership locations, technical services and customer service and experience. The Company competes directly and/or indirectly with RV dealers, RV service providers, RV rental operators, and RV parts and accessories retailers. One of the Company’s direct competitors, Camping World Holdings, Inc., is a publicly listed company that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Additional competitors may enter the businesses in which the Company currently operates.

 

Lazydays RV Dealerships

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company operated five Lazydays dealership locations across three states. The Company’s dealership locations are strategically located in key RV markets. Based on information collected by the Company from reports prepared by Statistical Surveys, these key RV markets (Florida, Colorado and Arizona) account for a significant portion of new RV units sold on an annual basis in the U.S. The Company’s dealerships in these key markets attract customers from all states, except Hawaii. Generally, the Company’s dealership locations provide RV repair and installation services, collision repair, parts, and accessories for RVs and RV enthusiasts, RV rentals and all the Company’s locations sell new and used RVs. The Company believes its dealership strategy of offering a comprehensive range of RV parts, services, accessories, products, rentals and new and used RVs, generates powerful cross-selling opportunities.

The Company’s dealership locations range in size from approximately 14,000 to 384,000 square feet and are situated on 6 to 126 acres. The Company’s dealership locations feature service centers staffed with expert, in-house trained product specialists and are equipped with merchandise demonstrations to assist in educating customers about RV performance products. The Company’s dealership locations also provide opportunities to promote a more interactive and consultative selling environment. The Lazydays staff is trained to cross-sell and explain the benefits of the Company’s breadth of services, protection plans and products to which the Company’s customers have become accustomed, such as extended service contracts, emergency roadside assistance products, club memberships, discount camping and travel assistance.

 

The Company regularly refreshes its dealership locations to enhance the customers’ shopping experience and maximize product and service offerings. New products and services are introduced to capitalize on the advances of the RV industry and to satisfy needs of the Company’s customers. Store dress, promotional signage and directional signage are also periodically refreshed to further enhance the Lazydays customer shopping experience at Lazydays dealership locations.

 

Expansion Opportunities and Site Selection

 

The Company’s disciplined expansion and acquisition strategy focuses on growing its geographic footprint and customer base. The Company believes it has developed a rigorous and flexible process that employs exclusive data and analytical tools to identify target markets for new store openings and acquisitions. The Company selects sites for new locations or evaluates acquisition opportunities based on criteria such as local demographics, traffic patterns, proximity to RV parks and campgrounds, proximity to major interstates, analytics from the Company’s customer database, RV sales and registrations, product availability and availability of attractive acquisition and/or lease terms. Members of the Lazydays development team spend considerable time evaluating markets and prospective sites.

 

Dealership Management and Training

 

The Company’s Vice President, National General Manager oversees all dealership operations. The Company’s Vice President, National General Manager has over 37 years of experience in the RV industry and has been employed by Lazydays for over 4 years.

 

Each dealership location employs a General Manager or a General Sales Manager (in either case, the “GM”) that has responsibility for the daily operations of the dealership location. Areas of responsibility include inventory management, hiring, associate training and development, maintenance of the facilities, customer service and customer satisfaction. A GM’s management team includes a sales manager, a parts and accessories manager, a service manager, and a finance and insurance manager to help oversee the operations of each dealership location department. A typical Lazydays dealership location employs approximately 20 to 80 full-time equivalent employees.

 

The Company employs a Vice President, Operations and Supply Chain and a centralized inventory management team to oversee the Company’s RV inventory and provide consistency and controls in the forecasting, ordering, purchasing and distribution of RV inventory.

 

The Company employs a Vice President, General Manager-RV Accessories and Rentals and a centralized RV accessories and rentals management team to oversee the Company’s RV accessories retail store operations, the Company’s rental operations and all incoming customer inquiries to provide consistency in how the Company sets up and operates its RV accessory and rental operations at each dealership. This allows the Company to provide a consistent customer service experience at all Lazydays dealerships.

The Company is constantly seeking to add top talent by partnering with local school districts, trade schools, military bases and community organizations. The interview process identifies current and future candidates, hiring talented people that are customer focused. The Company identifies hard to fill positions and has taken a proactive approach to creating viable candidates with its Tech U and Sales U programs. Through its Tech U and Sales U programs, the Company enrolls students with technical aptitude and provides them training to successfully complete industry certification courses and prepare them for a career as an RV technician or a successful sales partner.

 

Once hired, the Company continues to provide extensive training programs and opportunities for its employees, including, among others, new-hire training and orientations, institutionalized monthly e-learning and training modules, and certification programs for the Company’s RV technicians.

 

Product Sourcing and Distribution

 

Sourcing

 

New and Used RVs

 

The Company generally acquires new RVs for retail sale directly from the applicable manufacturer. Lazydays has strategic contractual arrangements with many of the leading RV manufacturers. Lazydays maintains a central inventory management and purchasing group to manage and maintain adequate inventory levels and mix. RVs are transported directly from a manufacturer’s facility to Lazydays dealership locations via a third-party transportation company.

 

Lazydays’ strategy is to partner with financially sound manufacturers that make quality products, have adequate manufacturing capacity and distribution, and maintain an appropriate product mix.

 

Lazydays’ supply arrangements with OEMs are typically governed by dealer agreements, which are customary in the RV industry. The Company’s dealer agreements with OEMs are generally made on a location-by-location basis. The terms of these dealer agreements are typically subject to Lazydays, among other things, meeting all the requirements and conditions of the dealer agreement, maintaining certain sales objectives, performing services and repairs for owners of the manufacturer’s RVs that are still under manufacturer warranty, carrying the manufacturer’s parts and accessories needed to service and repair the manufacturer’s RVs in stock at all times, actively advertising and promoting the manufacturer’s RVs and indemnifying the manufacturer under certain circumstances. Lazydays’ dealer agreements generally designate a specific geographic territory, exclusive to Lazydays, provided that Lazydays meets the material obligations of the dealer agreement. Wholesale pricing is generally established on a model year basis and is subject to change in the manufacturer’s sole discretion. In certain cases, the manufacturer may also establish a suggested retail price, below which the Company cannot advertise that manufacturer’s RVs.

 

Lazydays generally acquires used RVs from customers, primarily through trade-ins, as well as through private sales, auctions, the Company’s rental inventory and other sources, and the Company generally reconditions used RVs acquired for retail sale in its parts and service departments. Used RVs that Lazydays does not sell at Lazydays dealership locations generally are sold at wholesale prices through auctions.

 

Lazydays finances the purchase of substantially all the Company’s new RV inventory from OEMs through the Floor Plan Facility. Used vehicles may also be financed from time to time through the Floor Plan Facility. For more information on the Floor Plan Facility, see “Description of Certain Indebtedness — Floor Plan Facility.”

The Company maintains central purchasing functions to manage inventory, product-planning, allocate merchandise to the Company’s dealership locations and oversee the replenishment of basic merchandise. The Company has no long-term purchase commitments. The Company leverages its scale to reduce costs related to purchasing certain equipment, supplies, and services through long-standing, continuous relationships with its largest vendors.

The Company’s sales and customer service centers are multi-channel, full-service contact centers. RV enthusiasts can visit Lazydays locations, call, email, internet chat, text and use social media to contact Lazydays regarding products, services, protection plans, rentals, concerns and anything else related to the RV lifestyle. RV enthusiasts can also speak with Lazydays customer service specialists for help with aftermarket accessory orders, install scheduling and to receive answers to questions and to make purchases for any product and install services offered through the Lazydays website.

Lazydays’ contact center specialists are extensively trained to assist customers with complex orders and provide a level of service that leads to long-term customer relationships. In addition, Lazydays’ quality assurance team monitors contacts daily and provides the leadership team with tools to maintain sales and service standards. With low turnover, the Company retains employees longer than the industry average, which the Company believes allows its callers to be assisted by experienced contact center agents who are familiar with the RV lifestyle and Lazydays’ services, protection plans and products.

The Company utilizes multiple computer systems to support its operations, including a third-party dealer management system, point-of-sale registers (“POS”), enterprise resource planning system, supply chain management tools, CRM, robust rental reservation system, marketing database and other business intelligence tools.

The Dodd-Frank Act, which was signed into law on July 21, 2010, established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), an independent federal agency funded by the United States Federal Reserve with broad regulatory powers and limited oversight from the United States Congress. Although automotive dealers are generally excluded, the Dodd-Frank Act could lead to additional, indirect regulation of automotive dealers, in particular, their sale and marketing of finance and insurance products, through its regulation of automotive finance companies and other financial institutions. In March 2013, the CFPB issued supervisory guidance highlighting its concern that the practice of automotive dealers being compensated for arranging customer financing through discretionary markup of wholesale rates offered by financial institutions (“dealer markup”) results in a significant risk of pricing disparity in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”). The CFPB recommended that financial institutions under its jurisdiction take steps to address compliance with the ECOA, which may include imposing controls on dealer markup, monitoring and addressing the effects of dealer markup policies, and eliminating dealer discretion to markup buy rates.

Insurance Laws and Regulations

 

As a marketer of insurance programs, the Company is subject to state rules and regulations governing the business of insurance including, without limitation, laws governing the administration, underwriting, marketing, solicitation and/or sale of insurance programs. The insurance carriers that underwrite the programs that the Company sells are required to file their rates for approval by state regulators. Additionally, certain state laws and regulations govern the form and content of certain disclosures that must be made in connection with the sale, advertising or offering of any insurance program to a consumer. The Company is required to maintain certain licenses to market insurance programs.

 

Marketing Laws and Regulations

 

The Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and each of the states have enacted consumer protection statutes designed to ensure that consumers are protected from unfair and deceptive marketing practices. Lazydays reviews all of its marketing materials for compliance with applicable FTC regulations and state marketing laws.

 

Environmental, Health and Safety Laws and Regulations

 

The Company’s operations involve the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling and/or disposal of materials such as motor oil and filters, transmission fluids, antifreeze, refrigerants, paints, thinners, batteries, cleaning products, lubricants, degreasing agents, tires and propane. Consequently, the Company’s business is subject to a variety of federal, state and local requirements that regulate the environment and public health and safety.

 

Most of the Lazydays dealership locations utilize aboveground storage tanks, and to a lesser extent underground storage tanks, primarily for petroleum-based products. Storage tanks are subject to periodic testing, containment, upgrading and removal requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and its state law counterparts. Clean-up or other remedial action may be necessary in the event of leaks or other discharges from storage tanks or other sources. In addition, water quality protection programs under the federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act), the Safe Drinking Water Act and comparable state and local programs govern certain discharges from some of the Company’s operations. Similarly, air emissions from the Company’s operations, such as RV painting, are subject to the federal Clean Air Act and related state and local laws. Certain health and safety standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor and related state agencies also apply to certain of the Company’s operations.

 

Although the Company incurs costs to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in the ordinary course of its business, the Company does not presently anticipate that these costs will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company does not have any material known environmental commitments or contingencies.

 

Insurance

 

The Company utilizes insurance to provide for the potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, product liability, general liability, business interruption, property liability, director and officers’ liability, cyber, environmental issues, vehicle liability and employee health-care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Company are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other assumptions. The Company’s results could be adversely affected by claims and other expenses related to such plans and policies if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends.

 

147

 

 

Employees

 

As of September 30, 2017, Lazydays had approximately 775 full-time employees. None of the Lazydays employees are represented by a labor union or are party to a collective bargaining agreement, and Lazydays has not had any labor-related work stoppages. The Company believes that its employee relations are in good standing.

 

Properties

 

Although the Company owns the property in its Arizona location, the Company typically leases all the real estate properties where it has operations. The Company’s real property leases generally provide for fixed monthly rents with annual escalation clauses and multiple renewal terms of 5 or 20 years each. The leases are typically “triple net” requiring the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.

 

The table below sets forth certain information concerning the Company’s leased dealership locations.

 

Location   Acres     Square Feet     Term
(years)
    Initial Expiration  
FL     126       384,000       20       2035

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to employment related matters, breach of contracts, products liability and consumer protection. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these pending claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of certain individual litigated matters may not be reasonably predictable and any related damages may not be estimable. Some litigation matters could result in an adverse outcome to the Company, and any such adverse outcome could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Seasonality

 

The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in revenues and net income as a result of annual seasonality in the Company’s business. Because RVs are used primarily by vacationers and campers, demand for services, third-party protection plans, products and resources generally decline in the north during the winter season and decline in the south during the summer season. Sales and profits are generally highest during the winter months because the Company’s largest dealerships are in the south although sales and profits are becoming more consistent throughout the year as the Company expands geographically. For further discussion, see “Lazydays’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Seasonality.”

LAZYDAYS’ MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations is intended to clarify the company’s results of operations, certain changes in its financial position, liquidity, capital structure and business developments for the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. This discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by reference to, the other related information contained in this proxy statement, including the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and the description of the business, as well as the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere herein.

 

The following includes a discussion of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The financial statements can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. (the “Company”, the “group”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) operates Recreational Vehicle (“RV”) dealerships featuring a broad selection of over 2,500 new and pre-owned RVs. We believe, based on industry research and management’s estimates, that we operate one of the world’s largest RV dealerships, measured in terms of on-site inventory, located on 126 acres outside Tampa, FL. We also operate additional RV dealerships in Tucson, AZ and three cities in Colorado, Loveland, Denver and Longmont. We offer our customers a variety of services, such as third-party protection plans, financing and insurance. In addition, we have over 300 service bays across all locations, and have RV parts and accessories stores at all locations. We also have RV rental fleets in all three markets and availability to two on-site campgrounds with over 700 RV campsites. We welcome over 500,000 visitors to our dealership locations annually, and employ over 700 people at the five facilities. Our dealership locations are staffed with knowledgeable local team members, providing customers access to extensive RV expertise. Our dealership locations are strategically located in key RV markets. Based on information collected by the Company from reports prepared by Statistical Surveys, these key RV markets (Florida, Colorado and Arizona) account for a significant portion of new RV units sold on an annual basis in the U.S. The Company’s dealerships in these key markets attract customers from all states, except Hawaii.

 

With over forty years of history dating back to 1976, Lazydays is an iconic, industry leading brand that is synonymous with the RV lifestyle and is known nationally as the RV Authority TM , a registered trademark that has been consistently used by the Company in its marketing and branding communications since 2013. Based on a research report prepared by Russell Research in November / December 2017, Lazydays is the second most well-known R.V. dealership brand among a national audience of non-Lazydays customers surveyed. According to the report, over 85% of Lazydays customers and over 80% of prospective customers surveyed believe that Lazydays is among the category leaders in the industry. Our consistent quality, breadth and depth of offerings, as well as our comprehensive range of RV lifestyle resources, have resulted in our customers having adoring loyalty to, and lasting trust in our brands.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

Merger Agreement 

 

On October 27, 2017, we entered into the merger agreement with Andina, Holdco, Merger Sub and A. Lorne Weil.

Upon the consummation of the Mergers, Holdco will be the new public entity and will change its name to “Lazydays Holdings, Inc.” The Mergers are expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 2018 after the required shareholder approvals are obtained and the fulfilment of certain other conditions, as described in the Merger Agreement.

 

New Tax Law

 

On December 22, 2017, the tax reform bill was signed into law, including a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.

 

HOW WE GENERATE REVENUE

 

We derive our revenues from sales of new units, sales of pre-owned units, RV parts, service and repairs, commissions earned on sales of third-party financing and insurance products, visitor fees at our Tampa campground and food facilities, and other revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we derived our revenues from these categories in the following percentages:

 

    Percentages of Revenue  
    For the Nine Months Ended     For the Years Ended  
    September 30,     December 31,  
    2017     2016     2016     2015  
New vehicles     54.6 %     55.9 %     54.7 %     53.4 %
Pre-owned vehicles     34.2 %     33.2 %     34.0 %     36.6 %
Parts, service, and other     5.2 %     4.5 %     5.0 %     4.1 %
Finance and insurance, net     4.9 %     5.1 %     5.1 %     4.7 %
Campground     0.5 %     0.6 %     0.6 %     0.7 %
Other     0.6 %     0.7 %     0.6 %     0.5 %
Total     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %

 

We believe that we are the nation’s largest single point of distribution for RVs and a primary retail outlet for most of the leading manufacturers in the industry. New and pre-owned RV sales accounted for approximately 89% of total revenues in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. New and pre-owned RV sales accounted for approximately 89% and 90% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These revenue contributions have remained relatively consistent year over year.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margins. Gross profit is our total revenue less our total costs applicable to revenue. The vast majority of our cost applicable to revenues is related to the cost of vehicles. New and pre-owned vehicles have accounted for 96% or more of the cost of revenues in each of the previous two years. Gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

 

Our gross profit is variable in nature and generally follows changes in our revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, gross profit was $104,199 and $91,911, respectively, and gross margin was 21.8% and 20.4%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, gross profit was $116,262 and $95,274, respectively, and gross margin was 20.6% and 18.6%, respectively. Our vehicle gross margins are expected to be negatively impacted for two quarters following the Mergers as a result of our LIFO-based inventory being written up to fair market value pursuant to the requirements of purchase accounting.

 

Our gross margins on pre-owned vehicles are typically higher than gross margins on new vehicles, on a percentage basis. Gross profit margins on new vehicles for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $33 million and $26 million, or 12.6% and 10.5%, respectively. Gross profit margins on new vehicles for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $32 million and $25 million, or 10.5% and 9.1%, respectively. Gross profit margins on pre-owned vehicles for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $29 million and $26 million, or 17.7% and 17.4%, respectively. Gross profit margins on pre-owned vehicles for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $33 million and $30 million, or 17.3% and 16.0%, respectively. During each period presented, the gross margins were also favorably impacted by parts and service, and finance and insurance results whose combined revenues approach 10% of total revenues. The combined gross profit from these business lines is approximately 35% of total gross profit.

 

S G&A as a percentage of Gross Profit. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of gross profit allows us to monitor our expense control over a period of time. SG&A consists primarily of wage-related expenses, selling expenses related to commissions and advertising, lease expenses and corporate overhead expenses. Salaries, commissions and benefits represent the largest component of our total selling, general and administrative expense and averages approximately 55% of total selling, general and administrative expense.

 

We calculate SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit by dividing SG&A expenses for the period by total gross profit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 75% and 79.1%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 83.2% and 80.9%, respectively. We expect SG&A expenses to increase as we open new retail locations through organic growth and acquisitions, which we also expect will drive increases in revenue and gross profit. Additionally, we expect that our SG&A expenses will increase marginally in future periods in part due to additional legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses that we expect to incur as a result of being a public company, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, but it is one of the primary metrics management uses to evaluate the financial performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance as follows:

 

  as a measurement of operating performance to assist us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, and remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
  for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;
  to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
  to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business.

 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, non-floor plan interest expense, interest income and income tax expense , and other supplemental adjustments . We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a useful measure as it reflects certain operating drivers of the business, such as sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. While Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, management uses this financial measure to evaluate and forecast business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations, or a measure comparable to net income as it does not take into account certain requirements such as non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of the underlying business activities .

 

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies within the industry. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our business performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which impact depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense, are reviewed separately by management. Our measure of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income margin, and a further discussion of how we utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by approximately $27.1 million, or 6.0%, from $451.2 million to $478.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. This growth primarily resulted from an increase in the number of total vehicles sold as a result of strong customer demand.

 

New Vehicles Revenue

 

Revenue from new vehicle sales increased by $8.9 million, or 3.5%, from $252.0 million to $260.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. This was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of new vehicles sold from 3,238 to 3,362 due to strong customer demand. The average revenue per unit sold remained relatively constant during the period at $0.08 million per unit.

 

Pre-Owned Vehicles Revenue

 

Revenue from pre-owned vehicle sales increased by $13.7 million, or 9.1%, from $149.8 million to $163.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. This was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold from 2,373 to 2,545 due to strong customer demand. The Company’s average revenue per unit sold remained relatively constant during the periods at $0.06 million per unit.

 

Parts, Service and Other Revenue

 

Parts, service and other revenue increased by $4.6 million or 22.7%, from $20.4 million to $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, primarily driven by the associated growth that accompanies new and used sales volumes, increased labor rate realization and new initiatives in parts and accessories sales, including the physical expansion of the retail parts stores.

 

Finance and Insurance Revenue

 

Finance and insurance revenue increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 1.3%, from $23.1 million to $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

 

Campground and Other Revenue

 

An $0.8 million increase in RV Rental revenue was offset by a $1.1 million decrease in other revenue, while the Campground revenue remained flat, resulting in an approximately $0.4 million decrease, or 6.5%, from $5.9 million to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

 

154

 

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit consists of gross revenues less our cost of sales and services. Gross profit increased by approximately $12.3 million, or 13.4% from $91.9 million to $104.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, primarily as the result of increased revenues, as described above.

 

New Vehicles Gross Profit

 

New vehicle gross profit increased $6.6 million, or 25.1% from $26.4 million to $33.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The increase in new vehicle gross profit is attributable to (i) a 3.8% increase in volume, (ii) an increase in OEM rebates, and (iii) increases in profit per retail unit sold related to a favorable shift in sales mix.

 

Pre-Owned Vehicles Gross Profit

 

Pre-owned vehicle gross profit increased $2.8 million, or 10.6% from $26.1 million to $28.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, due to increases in volume and gross profit per retail unit, as a result of increased demand for pre-owned vehicles during the period, partially offset by a decrease in wholesale revenues.

 

Parts, Service and Other Gross Profit

 

Parts and service gross profit increased $2.5 million, or 21.6% from $11.6 million to $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, as a result of the increase in parts and service revenues as described above.

 

Finance and Insurance Gross Profit

 

Finance and insurance gross profit increased $0.8 million, or 3.5%, from $21.9 million to $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, as a result of the increase in finance and insurance revenue described above.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

SG&A expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased $5.4 million, or 7.5%, from $72.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $78.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase is largely due to increases in salary, commissions and benefits expenses, as well as increases in advertising and promotion costs, outsourced delivery fees and customer satisfaction costs, which increase as a result of increases in revenue. Historically, salary, commissions, payroll taxes and benefits have comprised the majority of our total SG&A expenses, and were equal to 52.0% of SG&A expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 54.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

155

 

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased from $5.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $6.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, or 27.2%, primarily due to the increase in interest expense related to our floor plan credit facility. Increases in interest expense as a result of higher principal outstanding during the period and an increase in the LIBOR rate (1.23% and 0.52% at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively) were partially offset by a decrease in our spread to LIBOR from 3.25% at September 30, 2016 to 2.75% at September 30, 2017.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense increased from $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $7.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to the increase in pre-tax profit.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2015

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by approximately $52.5 million, or 10.3%, from $511.9 million to $564.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This growth primarily resulted from an increase in the number of total vehicles sold due to the acquisition of RV America (“RVA”) in November 2015.

 

New Vehicles Revenue

 

Revenue from new vehicle sales increased by $35.1 million, or 12.8%, from $273.5 million to $308.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of new vehicles sold from 2,736 to 3,940 due to the full year effects of the RVA acquisition. While units sold increased year over year, the average revenue per unit sold decreased from $0.10 million to $0.08 million year over year due to the shift in sales mix towards towable units.

 

Pre-Owned Vehicles Revenue

 

Revenue from pre-owned vehicle sales increased by $4.9 million, or 2.6%, from $187.3 million to $192.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of pre-owned vehicles sold from 2,361 to 3,037 due to the full year effects of the RVA acquisition. The Company’s average revenue per unit sold decreased from $0.08 million to $0.06 million year over year due to the shift in sales mix towards towable units.

 

Parts, Service and Other Revenue

 

Parts, service and other revenue increased by $7.0 million year over year, or 33.7%, from $20.8 million to $27.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This was primarily driven by the full year effects of the RVA acquisition, the associated growth that accompanies new and used sales volumes and increased labor rate realization.

 

156

 

 

Finance and Insurance Revenue

 

Finance and insurance revenue increased by approximately $4.8 million year over year, or 19.6%, from $24.3 million to $29.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, primarily due to higher sales volume as a result of the acquisition of RVA.

 

Campground and Other Revenue

 

Campground and other revenue, which includes RV rental revenue, increased by approximately $0.8 million year over year, or 13.2%, from $5.9 million to $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of our rental fleet and increase in rental revenues as a result of the RVA acquisition.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit consists of gross revenues less our cost of sales and services. Gross profit increased by approximately $21.0 million from $95.3 million in 2015 to $116.3 million in 2016, representing an increase of 22%. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue discussed above.

 

New Vehicles Gross Profit

 

New vehicle gross profit increased 30.3% from $24.8 million to $32.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This was driven by both an increase in new vehicle sales as well as gross profit margin expansion from 9.1% to 10.5%. This margin expansion was the result of a higher mix of towable units which typically have higher gross margins.

 

Pre-Owned Vehicles Gross Profit

 

Pre-owned vehicle gross profit increased 11.2% from $30.0 million to $33.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This was primarily driven by gross profit margin expansion from 16.0% to 17.3%. This margin expansion was the result of a shift in our sales mix to a higher volume of towable units which typically have higher gross margins.

 

Parts, Service and Other Gross Profit

 

Parts, services and other gross profit increased 40.9% from $11.5 million to $16.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, as a result of the increase in parts and service revenues described above.

 

Finance and Insurance Gross Profit

 

Finance and insurance gross profit increased 20.1% from $23.1 million to $27.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This increase was attributable to the increase in sales volume resulting from the RVA acquisition.

 

157

 

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

SG&A expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 25.4% from $77.1 million in 2015 to $96.7 million in 2016. This increase corresponded to increases in salary, commissions and benefits expenses, which increased primarily due to the acquisition of RVA. Our headcount increased by 128 as a result of the RVA acquisition in November 2015. Historically, salary, commissions, payroll taxes and benefits have comprised the majority of our total SG&A expenses, and were equal to 54.0% of SG&A expenses in 2016 as compared to 58.2% in 2015.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased by $4.4 million from $2.9 million in 2015 to $7.3 million in 2016, or 155.0%. This was primarily attributable to the interest incurred on the financing liability of $4.1 million during 2016, and an increase in interest expense on our floor plan credit facility from $1.3 million in 2015 to $2.3 million in 2016, as a result of an (i) increase in LIBOR (from 0.43% at December 31, 2015 to 0.77% at December 31, 2016) and (ii) an increase in our spread to LIBOR from 2.05% to 3.25% at December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, as well as a $0.4 million increase in interest on our Bank of America (“BOA”) term loan, related to the full year effect in 2016, as we entered into the loan in October 2015. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in interest expense incurred on a shareholder note of $1.4 million. The shareholder note was fully paid back in November of 2015.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense decreased from $6.3 million in 2015 to $4.5 million in 2016, due to the decrease in pre-tax income.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL METRICS

 

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to enable us to analyze our performance and financial condition, as described in “Key Performance Indicators”, above. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that they are the most relevant measures of performance. We believe that these measures are commonly used in the industry to measure performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to measure revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures.

 

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should read this discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto also included herein.

 

EBITDA is defined as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, non-floor plan interest expense, interest income and income tax expense , and other supplemental adjustments .

Funding Needs and Sources

 

The Company has historically satisfied its liquidity needs through cash from operations and various borrowing arrangements. Cash requirements consist principally of scheduled payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness (including indebtedness under its existing floor plan credit facility), the acquisition of inventory, capital expenditures, salary and sales commissions and lease expenses.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had liquidity of approximately $8.1 million in cash and had working capital of approximately $18.8 million.

 

Capital expenditures include expenditures to extend the useful life of current facilities and expand operations. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company invested approximately $6.5 and $6.0 million in capital expenditures, respectively. Capital expenditures during 2015 were primarily for building and improvement, and capital expenditures during 2016 were primarily for the expansion of our rental fleet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company invested approximately $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in capital expenditures primarily for building improvements and the expansion of our rental fleet.

 

The Company maintains sizable inventory in order to meet the expectations of its customers, and believes that it will continue to require working capital consistent with past experience. Historically, the Company has funded its operations with internally generated cash flow and borrowings. Changes in working capital are driven primarily by profit levels. The Company maintains a floor plan credit facility to finance its vehicle inventory. At times, the Company has made repayments on its existing floor plan credit facility using excess cash flow from operations.

 

If the Mergers close as expected in the first quarter of 2018, the current plan is that a minimum of $115 million of incremental cash will be made available from various sources, of which $85 million will be paid out to the Stockholders, leaving approximately an incremental $20 million of cash available (after estimated transaction expenses) for future opportunities, including potential acquisitions. The $115 million expectation is based on the PIPE Investment of approximately $94.8 million, an incremental $10 million term loan and at least $10 million of existing cash on the books of Andina.

 

Floor Plan Notes Payable

 

The Company maintains a floor plan financing agreement with Bank of America (as amended on July 19, 2016) with asset-based borrowing availability of up to $140 million through November 18, 2018. The entire facility may be used to finance new vehicle inventory but only up to $40.0 million may be used to finance pre-owned vehicle inventory, of which a maximum of $5.0 million may be used to finance rental units. The principal balance outstanding under this facility was approximately $83.9, $96.0, and $95.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The facility is secured by new and used inventory, accounts receivable and chattel paper. Interest is based on LIBOR (3.98%, 4.03% and 2.48% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively) plus 2.75%, 3.25% and 2.05% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Principal is due upon the sale of the respective vehicle.

 

The Company’s floor plan facility is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants, as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017, plus December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

162

 

 

Revolving Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt

 

On November 18, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America for an aggregate commitment amount of $20,000, which includes two facilities (the “BOA Credit Agreement”). One of the two facilities under the BOA Credit Agreement is a $7,000 revolving line of credit (“Revolver”) which matures on November 18, 2020. The Revolver bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum and has no minimum payment requirements. The principal balance on the Revolver was $0, $3,000 and $6,500 and the availability on the Revolver was $7,000, $4,000 and $500 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The two facilities are backed by collateral of the Company’s accounts receivables, inventory and equipment.

 

The second of two facilities under the BOA Credit Agreement is a $13,000 term note payable (“Term Loan”) which is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and matures on November 18, 2020 with a balloon payment due of $3,867. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% (4.73% at December 31, 2016) per annum and requires monthly payments equal to $155 of principal, plus interest. The principal balance on the Term Loan was $9,603, $10,988 and $12,845 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The Company’s BOA Credit Agreement is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants, as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Debt Covenants

 

The Company is subject to covenant testing at quarterly intervals, which includes tests on Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. Additionally, The Company is subject to Current Ratio covenant testing at monthly intervals. The financial results of the Company need to pass the covenant levels set at each period end to avoid being in a covenant breach. The Company has always been in compliance with its debt covenants during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2016, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are party to numerous legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

 

Inflation

 

Although we cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on our operations, we believe that inflation has not had, and is not likely in the foreseeable future to have, a material impact on our results of operations.

 

Cyclicality

 

Unit sales of RV vehicles historically have been cyclical, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the RV retailing industry tends to experience similar periods of decline and recession as the general economy. We believe that the industry is influenced by general economic conditions and particularly by consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, fuel prices, interest rates and credit availability.

 

164

 

 

Seasonality and Effects of Weather

 

Our operations generally experience modestly higher volumes of vehicle sales in the first quarter of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and the hospitable warm climate during the winter months at our largest location (Tampa).

 

Our largest RV dealership is located near Tampa, Florida, which is in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. A severe weather event, such as a hurricane, could cause severe damage to our property and inventory. Although we believe we have adequate insurance coverage, if we were to experience a catastrophic loss, we may exceed our policy limits, and/or we may have difficulty obtaining similar insurance coverage in the future.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that management believes are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experience, outside advice from parties believed to be experts in such matters, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. A complete description of all of our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement. We consider the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) fees are fixed or determinable, and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.

 

Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognized on delivery, transfer of title and completion of financing arrangements. Revenue from parts sales and service is recognized on delivery of the service or product.

 

Revenue from rental of vehicles is recognized pro rata over the period of the rental agreement. The rental agreements are generally short-term in nature. Revenue from rentals is included in other revenue on the accompanying statements of income.

 

165

 

 

We receive commissions from the sale of insurance and vehicle service contracts to customers. In addition, we arrange financing for customers through various financial institutions and receives commissions. We may be charged back (“charge-backs”) for financing fees, insurance or vehicle service contract commissions in the event of early termination of the contracts by the customers. The revenues from financing fees and commissions are recorded at the time of the sale of the vehicles and a provision for future charge-backs is established based on historical operating results and the termination provisions of the applicable contracts.

 

Deposits on vehicles received in advance are accounted for as a liability and recognized into revenue upon completion of each respective transaction.

 

Receivables

 

We arrange third-party financing for our customers, as is customary in our industry. Interest is not normally charged on receivables. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our historic loss experience and current economic conditions. Losses are charged to the allowance when we believe that further collection efforts will not produce additional recoveries.

 

Inventories

 

Vehicle and parts inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Cost includes purchase costs, reconditioning costs, dealer-installed accessories, and freight. For vehicles accepted in trades, the cost is the fair value of such used vehicles at the time of the trade-in. Retail parts, accessories, and other inventories primarily consist of retail travel and leisure specialty merchandise.

 

Vendor Allowances

 

As a component of our consolidated procurement program, we frequently enter into contracts with vendors that provide for payments of rebates. These vendor payments are reflected in the carrying value of the inventory when earned or as progress is made toward earning the rebates and as a component of cost of sales as the inventory is sold. Certain of these vendor contracts provide for rebates that are contingent upon us meeting specified performance measures such as a cumulative level of purchases over a specified period of time. Such contingent rebates are given accounting recognition at the point at which achievement of the specified performance measures are deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable.

 

Goodwill and Intangibles

 

Our goodwill, trademarks and tradenames are deemed to have indefinite lives, and accordingly are not amortized, but are evaluated at least annually for impairment and more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates, consideration of our aggregate fair value, and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

 

166

 

 

 

When testing goodwill for impairment, we may assess qualitative factors for some or all of our reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, we may bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of our reporting units and perform a detailed quantitative test of impairment (step 1). If we perform the detailed quantitative impairment test and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would perform an analysis (step 2) to measure such impairment.

 

Other intangible assets include manufacturer relationships and customer database, which are amortized using the straight-line method of their respective useful lives. The customer database is fully amortized.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We evaluated the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. We measure the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

 

167

 

 

Tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return are recorded in our financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Uncertain tax positions have had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We do not expect any significant changes in our unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. Our policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest and penalties as income tax (benefit) expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 amends the existing guidance to require that inventory should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2015–11 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The FASB issued ASU 2015-17 as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative, with the objective of reducing complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 require entities that present a classified balance sheet to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as a noncurrent amount. This guidance does not change the offsetting requirements for deferred tax liabilities and assets, which results in the presentation of one amount on the balance sheet. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2015-17 align the deferred income tax presentation with the requirements in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have a material effect on our financial statements or disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations”, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and in May 9, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-12”). This update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue From Contracts with Customers which is not yet effective. These new standards provide for a single, principles-based model for revenue recognition that replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 until annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. It will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. We will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendment addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: allowing the accounting policy election to record forfeitures as they occur for employee share-based payments; income tax consequences; classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

168

 

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendment addresses several specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to materially impact our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business to exclude gross assets acquired (or disposed of) that have substantially all of their fair value concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The ASU also updates the definition of the term “output” to be consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 606. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, and we adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU2017-04 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity on the accounting for modifications of stock-based awards. ASU 2017-09 requires adoption on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 for share-based payment awards modified on or after the adoption date. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated cash flows and related disclosures.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

 

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Holdco

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Holdco shares of common stock as of the record date and immediately following consummation of the business combination by:

 

  each person known by Andina to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Andina’s outstanding ordinary shares either on the record date or after the consummation of the Mergers;
     
  each of Andina’s current executive officers and directors;
     
  each person who will become an executive officer or a director of Holdco upon consummation of the Mergers;
     
  all of Andina’s current executive officers and directors as a group; and
     
  all of Holdco’s executive officers and directors as a group after the consummation of the Mergers.

 

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Andina or its securities, the Andina initial shareholders, Lazydays, the Stockholders and/or their affiliates, may enter into a written plan to purchase Andina securities pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and may engage in other public market purchases, as well as private purchases, of securities. The ownership percentages listed below do not include any such shares that may be purchased after the record date.

 

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Andina or its securities, the Andina initial shareholders, Lazydays, the Stockholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares of Andina from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire ordinary shares of Andina or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposals. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that sufficient holders of the public shares present and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting to approve the merger proposals vote in its favor and that Andina will have in excess of $5 million of net tangible assets upon closing of the Mergers after taking into account holders of public shares that properly demanded conversion of their public shares into cash, when it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares of Andina, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares of Andina or warrants owned by the Andina initial shareholders for nominal value.

 

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Andina ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Andina will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposals and charter proposals or the conversion threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

  (1) Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each of the individuals is c/o Andina Acquisition Corp. II, 250 West 57th Street, Suite 2223, New York, NY 10107.
     
  (2) The pre-business combination percentage of beneficial ownership in the table below is calculated based on 3,441,879 ordinary shares outstanding as of the record date. The amount of beneficial ownership does not reflect the ordinary shares issuable as a result of Andina’s warrants as such warrants may not be exercisable within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, Andina believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them prior to the business combination.
     
  (3)

The post-business combination percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 10,908,214 shares of common stock outstanding. Such amount assumes that no public shareholders properly elect to convert their shares into cash. The amount of beneficial ownership for each individual or entity post-business combination includes shares of common stock issuable as a result of Andina’s warrants as such warrants will become exercisable upon consummation of the business combination. Unless otherwise indicated, Andina believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares beneficially owned by them upon consummation of the business combination.

     
  (4)

The post-business combination percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 9,259,018 shares of common stock outstanding. Such amount assumes that Andina shareholders exercise their conversion rights with respect to a maximum of 1,649,196 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Mergers at a conversion price of approximately $10.30 per share. The maximum conversion amount is derived from the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible assets required after giving effect to payments to converting shareholders. The amount of beneficial ownership for each individual or entity post-business combination includes shares of common stock issuable as a result of Andina’s warrants as such warrants will become exercisable upon consummation of the business combination. Unless otherwise indicated, Andina believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares beneficially owned by them upon consummation of the business combination.

     
  (5) These shares will vest in full upon consummation of Andina’s initial business combination provided he is still affiliated with us at such time.

  (8) The business address of Barry Rubenstein and Marilyn Rubenstein is 68 Wheatley Road, Brookville, New York 11545. Information derived from a Schedule 13G filed on December 7, 2015. Shares listed post-business combination assumes the holder has not sought redemption of any of the public shares they hold.
     
  (9)

The business address of RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC is 325 N. LaSalle Street, Suite 645, Chicago, IL 60654. Information derived from a Schedule 13G filed on November 11, 2017. Shares listed post-business combination assumes the holder has not sought redemption of any of the public shares it holds.

     
  (10) The business address of Common Pension Fund D is 50 West State St., 9th Floor, Trenton, New Jersey 08608.
     
  (11)

Andina’s initial shareholders, including its officers and directors, beneficially own 36.8% of its issued and outstanding Andina ordinary shares as of the record date. Because of the ownership block held by Andina’s initial shareholders, such individuals may be able to significantly influence matters requiring approval by Andina’s shareholders, including approval of an initial business combination, the election of directors and approval of other significant corporate transactions.

 

All of the initial shares purchased by the initial shareholders have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until (A) with respect to 50% of such shares, the earlier of (i) the date on which the closing price of the Holdco common stock exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the business combination and (ii) one year after the consummation of the business combination and (B) with respect to the remaining 50% of such shares, one year after the consummation of the business combination; provided that the initial shares will be released if Holdco consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares of Andina will not be able to sell or transfer such shares except (i) for transfers to an entity’s members upon its liquidation, (ii) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of Andina’s securities or (vi) by private sales made at or prior to the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which such shares were originally purchased in each case where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement. The holders of these shares will retain all other rights as Andina’s shareholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their Andina ordinary shares and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in Andina ordinary shares, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If Andina is unable to effect a business combination and liquidate the trust account, none of its initial shareholders will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to their initial shares of Andina.

 

In a private placement conducted simultaneously with the consummation of Andina’s initial public offering, the Andina initial shareholders and EarlyBirdCapital and its designees purchased 310,000 private units. The purchasers have agreed that these units will not be sold or transferred by them (except to certain permitted transferees) until after Andina has completed a business combination.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

 

Related Person Policy

 

Andina’s Code of Ethics requires Andina to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) Andina or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of Andina’s ordinary shares, or (c) immediate family member of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

 

Andina’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent Andina enters into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, Andina requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete an annual directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

 

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

 

Andina Related Person Transactions

 

In July 2015, Andina issued 1,150,000 initial shares of Andina to its initial shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The shares of Andina held by the initial shareholders included an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Andina repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $0.01 and cancelled by Andina in December 2015 upon receiving notice that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full.

 

Prior to the closing of Andina’s initial public offering, a director advanced an aggregate of approximately $139,000 to cover expenses related to Andina’s formation and the initial public offering. Andina repaid this amount on December 1, 2015 from the proceeds received upon closing of the initial public offering. On April 28, 2017, the Company issued to A. Lorne Weil a $100,000 convertible promissory note. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and is payable upon consummation of a business combination. Upon consummation of a business combination, the principal balance of the note may be converted, at the holder’s option, to private units at a price of $10.00 per private unit. If the holder converts the entire principal balance of the convertible promissory note, he would receive 10,000 private units. If a business combination is not consummated, the note will not be repaid by Andina and all amounts owed thereunder by Andina will be forgiven except to the extent that Andina has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account established in connection with the initial public offering.

 

174

 

 

In connection with the extensions of time to consummate a business combination, Andina’s officers and directors have loaned to Andina $0.03 for each public share that was not converted for each extension month utilized. Accordingly, an amount of approximately $469,628 has been loaned to Andina and deposited in the Trust Account for the extensions. The loans will not bear interest and will be repayable by Andina to Andina’s officers and directors upon consummation of an initial business combination. If an initial business combination is not consummated by the required time period, the loans will be forgiven unless Andina has funds available to it outside of the trust account to repay such loans.

 

Andina maintains its principal executive offices in office space provided to Andina at no cost by a third party affiliated with one of Andina’s directors.

 

Andina is also permitted to pay consulting fees to its officers, directors, shareholders or their affiliates for assisting Andina in consummating its initial business combination in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $500,000.

 

Lazydays Related Person Transactions

 

Awards under Transaction Incentive Plan

 

Certain of Lazydays’ officers, directors and employees are eligible to receive compensation from Lazydays pursuant to its Transaction Incentive Plan (the “Transaction Incentive Plan”). The Transaction Incentive Plan provides for a bonus based on a formula in the event of a qualifying transaction. The consummation of the Mergers will constitute a qualifying transaction under the Transaction Incentive Plan. The following directors of Lazydays (each a “Director Recipient” and collectively, the “Director Recipients”) are each eligible to receive compensation under the Transaction Incentive Plan in connection with the consummation of the Mergers: (i) Jim Fredlake, (ii) Peter McDonald and (iii) Ray Nooyi. The aggregate value of the compensation ultimately payable under the Transaction Incentive Plan to the Director Recipients in connection with the consummation of the Mergers will be based on the final amount of consideration paid by Holdco after any applicable adjustments based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of the closing of the Mergers and any payments to Holdco in respect of indemnification claims under the merger agreement. Assuming the release of all holdbacks and escrows and no adjustment to the purchase price, each Director Recipient is expected to receive an amount of compensation, payable in cash and Holdco Shares, with an aggregate value of approximately $220,402 under the Transaction Incentive Plan.

 

Lazydays’ Related-Party Transactions Policy and Procedure

 

While Lazydays does not have a formal written policy or procedure for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions, its board of directors reviews and considers the interests of its directors, executive officers and principal stockholders in its review and consideration of transactions.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Andina directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of Andina ordinary shares to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Based on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to Andina, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, Andina believes that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2016.

DESCRIPTION OF HOLDCO SECURITIES

 

The following description of the material terms of the share capital of Holdco following the Mergers includes a summary of specified provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Holdco that will be in effect upon completion of the Mergers. This description is qualified by reference to Holdco’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation as will be in effect upon consummation of the Mergers, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement and are incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement by reference.

 

General

 

The constitutional documents of Holdco will provide for the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001.

 

In the Redomestication Merger, Holdco will issue its ordinary shares in exchange for the outstanding ordinary shares, rights and warrants of Andina as follows:

 

  each ordinary share of Andina will be exchanged for one share of common stock of Holdco, except for public shares that have been converted into a pro rata portion of Andina’s trust account;
     
  each Andina right will be automatically converted into one seventh of one share of common stock of Holdco; and
     
  each Andina warrant will remain outstanding but will be deemed converted into one warrant of Holdco.

 

In the Transaction Merger, the Stockholders will receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 2,857,143 shares of common stock of Holdco; and (ii) $85,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustments as described elsewhere herein, including shares of common stock of Holdco and cash that are issued and paid to the Optionholders and the Bonus Payment Recipients.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares of Holdco voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

 

Holders of Holdco’s common stock will not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock of Holdco.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The certificate of incorporation of Holdco, as amended, will authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by Holdco’s board of directors. In connection with the PIPE Investment, Holdco will designate 600,000 shares as Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in the section titled “ The PIPE Proposal .” Holdco’s board of directors will be empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue the remaining preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Holdco.

 

176

 

 

Warrants

 

Each outstanding public warrant of Andina shall automatically represent the right to purchase one half of one Holdco Share in lieu of one half of one ordinary share of Andina upon closing of the Redomestication Merger at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. However, no public warrants underlying the units sold in Andina’s initial public offering will be exercisable for cash unless Holdco has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock of Holdco issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares of Holdco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of the Mergers, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when Holdco shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Holdco underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the Holdco Shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise. The warrants will expire on December 1, 2020 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

 

The warrants included in the private units (“private warrants”) are identical to the public warrants underlying the units sold in Andina’s initial public offering, except that such private warrants will be exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock of Holdco issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by Holdco, in each case so long as they are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates.

 

The warrants to be issued to the purchasers in the PIPE Investment are substantially similar to the outstanding public warrants of Andina except that the warrants issued to the purchasers in the PIPE Investment will be exercisable on a cashless basis at any time at the holders’ option and include adjustments on the happening of certain other actions such as rights offerings undertaken by Holdco.

 

Holdco may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants but including the warrants issued in the PIPE Investment), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant,

 

  at any time while the warrants are exercisable;
     
  upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;
     
  if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Holdco Shares equals or exceeds $24.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and
     
  if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-day trading period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

 

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant.

 

If Holdco calls the warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock of Holdco underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. In this case, the “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of common stock of Holdco for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Whether we will exercise our option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of shares of common stock of Holdco at the time the warrants are called for redemption, Holdco’s cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive stock issuances.

 

177

 

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock of Holdco issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock of Holdco at a price below their respective exercise prices.

 

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

 

Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their warrants such that an electing warrant holder would not be able to exercise their warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% of the shares of common stock of Holdco outstanding.

 

No fractional shares of Holdco will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Holdco, Holdco will, upon exercise, follow the requirements of the DGCL.

 

Dividends

 

Andina has not paid any cash dividends on its ordinary shares to date and does not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of the Mergers. The payment of dividends by Holdco subsequent to the Mergers will be entirely within the discretion of Holdco’s then board of directors and will be contingent upon Holdco’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the Mergers. It will also be subject to the dividend rights of the Series A Preferred Stock to be issued in the PIPE Investment.

 

Holdco’s Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

 

The transfer agent for Holdco’s shares of common stock and warrant agent for its warrants upon consummation of the Mergers will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30 th Floor, New York, New York 10004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Andina Acquisition Corp. II

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Andina Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2017 and 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2017 and 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ANDINA ACQUISITION CORP. II

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 - Organization, Plan of Business Operations

 

Andina Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 1, 2015 as a blank check company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region.

 

All activity through November 30, 2017 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering described below and the search for a Business Combination candidate. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on November 24, 2015. The Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 units (“Units”) at $10.00 per unit on December 1, 2015, generating gross proceeds of $40.0 million. Offering costs were approximately $1.8 million, inclusive of $454,000 of offering costs incurred prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering (Note 3).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 310,000 Units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, of which 265,000 Private Placement Units were sold to certain shareholders of the Company and their affiliates and designees, and 45,000 Private Placement Units were sold to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”), the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of an aggregate of $3.1 million (Note 4).

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

 

An aggregate amount of $40.6 million ($10.15 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Units in the Private Placement was placed in a United States-based trust account (“Trust Account”) at UBS maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, and is invested in U.S. government treasury bills, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the required time period set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (“Charter”). B. Luke Weil, the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, has agreed that he will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company and that have not executed a waiver agreement with the Company. However, he may not be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise.

 

The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) were used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective Business Combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, (i) interest income earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations and (ii) any remaining interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company for its working capital requirements. With these exceptions, expenses incurred by the Company may be paid prior to a Business Combination only from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement not held in the Trust Account; provided, however, that in order to meet its working capital needs, the Company’s shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”), officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of the Company’s Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the loans would not be repaid.

 

Pursuant to the Nasdaq Capital Markets listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Business Combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. The fair market value of the target will be determined by the Company’s board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). The target business or businesses that the Company acquires may have a collective fair market value substantially in excess of 80% of the Trust Account balance. In order to consummate such a Business Combination, the Company may issue a significant amount of its debt or equity securities to the sellers of such business and/or seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities.

 

 F- 7
 

 

In connection with any proposed initial Business Combination, the Company will either (1) seek shareholder approval of such initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which holders of the outstanding ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering (“Public Shareholders”) may seek to convert such shares (“Public Shares”), regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) or (2) provide Public Shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable). As of November 30, 2017, the amount in the Trust Account $10.23 per Public Share (excluding interest in the amount of approximately $135,400 that may be released to the Company as described above).

 

If the Company determines to engage in a tender offer, such tender offer will be structured so that each Public Shareholder may tender any or all of his, her or its Public Shares rather than some pro rata portion of his, her or its shares. In that case, the Company will file tender offer documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to it in a tender offer will be made by the Company based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require it to seek shareholder approval. The Company will consummate an initial Business Combination only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, solely if it seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

 

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to certain obligations and restrictions relating to their securities, including to vote in favor of any proposed Business Combination and in certain cases not to convert any shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve, or sell their shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed initial Business Combination (See Note 5). The Representative has also agreed to vote its shares included in the Private Placement Units (the “private shares”) in favor of any proposed Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering without the prior consent of the Company. Accordingly, all shares in excess of 20% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering held by a holder will not be converted to cash.

 

On August 30, 2017, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “August Meeting”). At the August Meeting, the shareholders approved each of the following items: (i) an amendment to the Charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (“Liquidation Date”) from September 1, 2017 to November 1, 2017 and (ii) an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to allow the holders of the Company’s ordinary shares issued in the Company’s Initial Public Offering to elect to convert their public shares into their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account (the “First Extension”). Shareholders holding 432,769 Public Shares exercised their right to convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $4.4 million (or $10.15 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders in September 2017. In connection with the First Extension, certain of the Company’s shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering agreed to loan the Company $0.03 for each Public Share that was not converted, or $107,017, for each month following the First Extension. The loans will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the lenders upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated by the required time period, the loans will be forgiven.

 

On October 31, 2017, the Company held another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “October Meeting”). At the October Meeting, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Second Extension”) to February 1, 2018. At the October Meeting, shareholders holding 727,300 Public Shares exercised their right to convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $7.4 million (or approximately $10.21 per share) was removed from the Trust Account in November 2017 to pay such shareholders. In connection with the Second Extension, certain of the Company’s shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering will contribute to the Company as a loan $0.03 for each public Share that was not converted for each month of the Extension that is utilized. The Company’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional months until February 1, 2018 and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the shareholders’ obligation to make additional loans will terminate   . Accordingly, an aggregate of approximately $85,198 will be contributed to the Company and deposited in the Trust Account for each month that is utilized through February 1, 2018. The contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the lenders upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated by the required time period, the loans will be forgiven.

 

On January 31, 2018, the Company held another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, shareholders agreed to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Third Extension”) to April 1, 2018. Under Cayman Islands law, all amendments to the Charter took effect upon approval. Accordingly, the Company now has until April 1, 2018 to consummate the initial Business Combination. At the meeting, shareholders holding 708,052 Public Shares exercised their right to convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account for an aggregate amount of approximately $7.3 million (or approximately $10.30 per share).

 

During the year ended November 30, 2017, the Company received an aggregate of $100,000 and $536,732 from certain shareholders under convertible notes and non-convertible notes, of which an aggregate of approximately $384,400 was deposited to the Trust Account in connection with the First and Second Extension. The loans are unsecured and non-interest bearing and are due upon consummation of a Business Combination.

 

 F- 8
 

 

If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by the Liquidation Date, it will trigger the automatic liquidation of the Trust Account and the voluntary liquidation of the Company. In such event, holders of Public Shares will share ratably in the Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to the Company, and any net assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities. The Representative and the holders of the insider shares (as defined in Note 5), private shares, and rights and warrants included in the Private Placement Units (the “private rights” and “private warrants” respectively) will not participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their insider shares, private shares, private rights or private warrants.

 

On November 22, 2017, Andina II Holdco Corp. (“Holdco”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes a preliminary proxy statement of the Company, and constitutes a preliminary prospectus of Holdco.

 

The Registration Statement was filed in connection with the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 27, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Holdco, Andina II Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”), Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lazydays”) and, solely for certain purposes set forth in the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which (a) the Company will merge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company and (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into Lazydays, with Lazydays surviving and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company and Lazydays and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.

 

Liquidity

 

As of November 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $31,000 in its operating bank account and approximately $135,000 of interest income held in the Trust Account available to be released to the Company.

 

Through November 30, 2017, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of approximately $686,000 from the sale of the Units held outside of the Trust Account upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, $25,000 from the sale of the insider shares (as described in Note 6), advances from a director in an aggregate amount of $139,000, which was repaid on December 1, 2015 from the proceeds received upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, promissory notes for up to approximately $661,500 from related parties, of which an aggregate of $636,700 was received. During the year ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company received an aggregate of approximately $302,000 and $103,000 from interest released from the Trust Account for working capital purposes.

 

Subsequent to November 30, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of $99,666 in promissory notes to related parties for working capital purposes. These notes are unsecured and non-interest bearing and are due upon consummation of a Business Combination. In January 2018, one of the Company’s non-executive Chairman provided a commitment letter to fund the Company up to $350,000 for working capital purposes. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the loan will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account. The Company has not borrowed any amount under the commitment letter.

 

Based on the foregoing, the Company believes that it has sufficient funds available to operate its business through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or April 1, 2018 (or such later date as may be approved by shareholders at a meeting called for such purpose). Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At November 30, 2017, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

 

The amounts held in the Trust Account represent substantially all of the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. As of November 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account consisted of approximately $29.1 million in United States Treasury Bills and approximately $86,000 in cash. At November 30, 2017, there was approximately $135,000 of interest income held in the Trust Account available to be released to the Company.

 

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Conversion

 

The Company accounts for its Ordinary Shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Ordinary Shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares subject to possible conversion at conversion value are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Offering Costs

 

Offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting and underwriting costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to approximately $1.8 million (including $1.3 million in underwriters’ fees) were charged to shareholder’s equity upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period. An aggregate of 2,277,503 and 3,537,686 Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption at November 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per ordinary share since such Ordinary Shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the trust earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of (i) warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase 2,155,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company, (ii) rights to acquire 615,713 Ordinary Shares of the Company and (iii) 400,000 Ordinary Shares, warrants to purchase 200,000 Ordinary Shares and rights to acquire 57,142 Ordinary Shares included in the unit purchase option sold to the underwriter, and (iv), up to 10,000 Ordinary Shares, warrants to purchase 5,000 Ordinary Shares, and rights to acquire 1,429 Ordinary Shares under the outstanding convertible note, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the unit purchase option and warrants as well as the conversion of rights is contingent on the occurrence of future events.

 

 F- 10
 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company was registered as an Exempted Company in the Cayman Islands, and therefore, is not subject to Cayman Islands income taxes for 20 years from the Date of Inception. The Company would be subject to United States income taxes based on such activities that would occur in the United States. The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position.

 

The Company might be subject to major tax jurisdictions in United States and New York. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of November 30, 2016. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating net proceeds of approximately $38.2 million, net of offering costs of approximately $1.8 million, inclusive of $454,000 of deferred offering costs incurred prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Each Unit consists of one ordinary share in the Company, one right to receive one-seventh (1/7) of a share upon consummation of an initial Business Combination and one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase one half of one ordinary share for $11.50 per full share. No fractional shares will be issued. In the event the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of an initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the 1/7 of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. There is no length of time within which an investor must affirmatively elect to convert the rights. However, until a holder affirmatively elects to convert his, her or its rights, the right certificates held by such holder will not represent the ordinary shares they are convertible for but instead will simply represent the right to receive such ordinary shares.

 

Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full ordinary share commencing on the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination, and expiring five years from the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares. As a result, investors must exercise Warrants in multiples of two Warrants, at a price of $11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment, to validly exercise the Warrants. The Company may redeem the Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the ordinary shares is at least $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period (“30-Day Trading Period”) ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given, provided there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such Warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-Day Trading Period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. If the Company redeems the Warrants as described above, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants sold and issued in the Initial Public Offering the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. If a registration statement is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of a Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. In the event that a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise or no exemption is available for a cashless exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant for cash and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights.

 

 F- 11
 

 

If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company redeems the Public Shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights and warrants will not receive any of such funds for their rights and warrants and the rights and warrants will expire worthless.

 

Note 4 - Private Placement

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 310,000 Private Placement Units, at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit for a total purchase price of $3.1 million. Of the Private Placement Units, 265,000 were purchased by Initial Shareholders and their affiliates and designees and 45,000 were purchased by EBC. The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering except the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. Additionally, because the warrants included in the Private Placement Units were issued in a private transaction, the holders and their permitted transferees will be allowed to exercise such warrants for cash even if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective and receive unregistered ordinary shares. Furthermore, the holders have agreed (A) to vote the private shares in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s proposed amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to be effected prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow holders of Public Shares to exercise conversion rights with respect thereto as described herein unless the Company provides dissenting Public Shareholders with the opportunity to convert their Public Shares in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any private shares for cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination (or to sell such shares to the Company in any tender offer the Company may engage in) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as described above and (D) that the private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. The purchasers have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of an initial Business Combination.

Initial Shares

 

In July 2015, the Company issued 1,150,000 ordinary shares (the “insider shares”) to the Initial Shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The insider shares held by the Initial Shareholders included an aggregate of 150,000 shares repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $0.01 and cancelled by the Company in December 2015 upon receiving notice that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full.

 

The insider shares are identical to the ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering. However, the Initial Shareholders have agreed (subject to certain exceptions) (A) to vote their insider shares (as well as any public shares acquired in or after the Initial Public Offering) in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to convert their public shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any insider shares (as well as any other shares acquired in or after the Initial Public Offering) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination (or sell any shares they hold to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination) or a vote to amend the provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as described above and (D) that the insider shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. Additionally, the Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the insider shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until (1) with respect to 50% of the insider shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after initial business combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, one year after the date of the consummation of initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to initial business combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Convertible Notes

 

Following the commitment letter from one of the Company’s directors and non-executive Chairman of the Board to provide working capital to the Company, on April 28, 2017, the Company issued a $100,000 convertible promissory note to such non-executive Chairman. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and is payable upon consummation of a Business Combination. Upon consummation of a Business Combination, the principal balance of the note may be converted, at the holder’s option, to Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. If the lender converts the entire principal balance of the convertible promissory note, he would receive 10,000 Private Placement Units. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the note will not be repaid by the Company and all amounts owed thereunder by the Company will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering. As of November 30, 2017, the $100,000 convertible promissory note was outstanding.

 

Notes Payable

 

Prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, a director advanced an aggregate of approximately $139,000 to cover expenses related to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering. The Company repaid this amount on December 1, 2015 from the proceeds received upon closing of the Initial Public Offering.

 

During the year ended November 30, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately $561,500 in promissory notes to related parties. Of these, the Company received an aggregate of $536,732 from certain shareholders under promissory notes, of which an aggregate of approximately $384,400 was deposited to the Trust Account in connection with the First and Second Extension as of November 30, 2017. The loans are unsecured and non-interest bearing and are due upon consummation of a Business Combination.

 

Others

 

The Company maintains its principal executive offices in office space provided to the Company at no cost by a third party affiliated with one of the Company’s directors.

 

If the Company consummates the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement with Lazydays, the Company has agreed to pay Hydra Management LLC, an affiliate of A. Lorne Weil, an initial shareholder and father of B. Luke Weil, the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman, $450,000 as compensation for advisory services rendered to the Company in connection with such transaction. The Company is not obligated to pay these fees if no business combination is consummated. These fees are an unrecognized contingent liability, as closing of a potential business combination was not considered probable as of November 30, 2017.

 

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

On November 24, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with EBC (“Underwriting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company paid an underwriting discount of $1.3 million. The Company has further engaged EBC to assist the Company with its initial Business Combination. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Company anticipates that EBC will assist the Company in holding meetings with shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities, assist the Company in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a cash fee of $1,600,000 for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable); provided that up to 25% of the fee may be allocated at the Company’s sole discretion to one or more advisors that assist the Company in identifying and consummating an initial Business Combination. The Company will also reimburse EBC for up to $20,000 of its reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the performance of its services pursuant to the agreement; provided, however, all expenses in excess of $5,000 in the aggregate shall be subject to prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. The Company is not obligated to pay these fees if no business combination is consummated. These fees are an unrecognized contingent liability, as closing of a potential business combination was not considered probable as of November 30, 2017.

 

Unit Purchase Option

 

In November 2015, the Company sold to EBC and its designees for $100, unit purchase options to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 units (collectively, the “Unit Purchase Option”). The Unit Purchase Option is exercisable at $10.00 per unit, commencing on the later of the consummation of a Business Combination and November 24, 2016. The Unit Purchase Option expires on November 24, 2020. Since the option is not exercisable until the consummation of a Business Combination at the earliest, and the rights will result in the issuance of shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, the option will effectively represent the right to purchase an aggregate 457,142 ordinary shares (which includes the 57,142 ordinary shares issuable for the rights included in the units, as well as 400,000 warrants to purchase 200,000 ordinary shares for $11.50 per share). The Unit Purchase Option grants to the holders demand and “piggy back” registration rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from November 24, 2015 with respect to the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves.

 

 F- 13
 

 

The Company accounted for the fair value of the Unit Purchase Option, inclusive of the receipt of a $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Initial Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated that the fair value of the Unit Purchase Option was approximately $2 million (or $5.01 per unit) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the Unit Purchase Option was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 57.71%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.52%, and (3) expected life of five years. The Unit Purchase Option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the Unit Purchase Option (the difference between the exercise prices of the Unit Purchase Option and the market price of the Units and underlying ordinary shares) to exercise the Unit Purchase Option without the payment of any cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the Unit Purchase Option or underlying rights and warrants.

 

Other Agreements

 

On October 8, 2015, the Company engaged B. Riley & Co. LLC (“B. Riley”) to provide certain advisory services in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination in exchange for $250,000 in service fees, which were paid in December 2015 and is included in Prepaid Expenses in the accompanying Condensed Balance Sheets as B. Riley has not provided material services to date.

 

The Company has also signed agreements with individuals in the business community of their respective countries (the “Originators”) to supplement the efforts of the management team on its search of targets for a potential Business Combination. The agreements with the Originators are for a period of three to six months. In exchange for the services, the Company agreed to pay the Originators a finder’s fee of 0.75% of the transaction value, payable upon the completion of a Business Combination. The aggregated amount of the finders’ fee for the Financial Advisor and the Originators should be below 2.8% of the amount invested by the Company in the target company. To date, no fees have been incurred in connection with the agreements yet.

 

In July 2017, the Company entered into a financial advisory and private placement agreement with an advisor in connection with a potential Business Combination. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the advisor a cash fee of $200,000, plus placement agent fees, as well as issue the advisor warrants to purchase ordinary shares of the Company, if the Business Combination is consummated and a capital raise is closed. The fees and warrants are all payable upon the closing of the Business Combination. The Company is not obligated to pay these fees if no Business Combination is consummated. These fees are an unrecognized contingent liability, as closing of a potential Business Combination was not considered probable as of November 30, 2017.

 

In August 2017, the Company entered into an engagement letter for legal advisory services in connection with a potential Business Combination, pursuant to which the legal counsel agreed to defer all additional fee charges (“deferred charges”) after the certain retainer amount is used. The Company is not obligated to pay deferred fees if no Business Combination is consummated. As of November 30, 2017, no material services were provided yet. The deferred charges are an unrecognized contingent liability, as closing of a potential Business Combination was not considered probable as of November 30, 2017.

 

Registration Rights

 

The Initial Shareholders and purchasers of the private Placement Units are entitled to registration rights with respect to their securities, pursuant to an agreement dated as of November 24, 2015. The holders of the majority of the insider shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Units (or underlying securities) issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Note 7 - Shareholder Equity

 

Preferred Shares

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

 

As of November 30, 2017, there are no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

As of November 30, 2017, after the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the Company has an aggregate of 4,149,931 and 5,310,000 ordinary shares outstanding, inclusive of 2,277,503 and 3,537,686 ordinary shares subject to possible conversion classified as temporary equity in the accompanying Balance Sheet as of November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

 

 F- 14
 

 

In connection with the First and Second Extension, shareholders holding 432,769 and 727,300 Public Shares exercised their right to convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $4.4 million (or $10.15 per share) and $7.4 million (or approximately $10.21 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders in September and November 2017.

 

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2017 and 2016, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

 

    Quoted Prices in Active Markets  
    (Level 1)  
Description   November 30, 2017     November 30, 2016  
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account   $ 29,194,458       40,651,426  

 

Approximately $86,000 and $44,000 of the balance in the Trust Account was held in cash as of November 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Note 9 – Merger Agreement

 

On October 27, 2017, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Lazydays. The Merger Agreement provides for a business combination transaction by means of (i) the merger of Andina with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and becoming a new public company (the “Redomestication Merger”) and (ii) the merger of Merger Sub with and into Lazydays, with Layzdays surviving and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (the “Transaction Merger” and together with the Redomestication Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, the shareholders of Andina and stockholders of Lazydays will become stockholders of Holdco.

 

Under the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Redomestication Merger, (i) each ordinary share of Andina will be exchanged for one share of common stock of Holdco (“Holdco Shares”), except that holders of the Company’s Public Shares shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Andina’s Trust Account, (ii) each Andina right will entitle the holder to receive one-seventh of a Holdco Share and (iii) each Andina warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one-half of one Holdco Share at a price of $11.50 per whole share. Upon consummation of the Transaction Merger, the stockholders of Lazydays (the “Stockholders”) will receive their pro rata portion of: (i) 2,857,143 Holdco Shares; and (ii) $85,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustments based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of closing and also subject to any such Holdco Shares and cash that are issued and paid to Lazydays’ optionholders and participants under Lazydays’ transaction incentive plan.

 

As the sole and exclusive remedy for amounts (if any) owed to Holdco as adjustments to the merger consideration based on Lazydays’ working capital and debt as of closing, an aggregate of $2,000,000 in cash to be paid as part of the merger consideration (the “Adjustment Escrow Cash”) shall be deposited in escrow. The escrow agent shall release the Adjustment Escrow Cash following its receipt of a notice specifying the amounts to be released as provided for in the Merger Agreement.

 

Upon the consummation of the Mergers, Holdco will be the new public entity and will change its name to “Lazydays Holdings, Inc.” The Mergers are expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 2018 after the required approvals by the shareholders of Andina and the Company are obtained and the fulfillment of certain other conditions, all as described herein and in the Merger Agreement.

PIPE Investment

 

Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, Holdco has entered into a series of securities purchase agreements with institutional investors for the sale of convertible preferred stock, common stock, and warrants of Holdco for an aggregate purchase price of $94.8 million (the “PIPE Investment”) in a private placement which will close simultaneously with the consummation of the Mergers (the “Closing”). As a result of the PIPE Investment, on the Closing, Holdco would issue an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Holdco (with a stated value of $60.0 million), 3,993,479 Holdco Shares and five-year warrants to purchase an additional 2,503,934 Holdco Shares exercisable at $11.50 per share; provided that the number of Holdco Shares being issued in the PIPE Investment may be reduced in order to ensure that two investors that will be investing an aggregate of $22,750,000 in the PIPE Investment will hold less than up to 9.99% of the outstanding Holdco Shares at Closing and to the extent such number is reduced, they will receive pre-funded warrants in lieu of such Holdco Shares. The investors in the PIPE Investment will be granted certain registration rights as set forth in the securities purchase agreements.

 

The material terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

The Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to all outstanding capital stock of Holdco. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis together with the holders of the Common Stock of Holdco, and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of Holdco’s stockholders. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s election at any time, at an initial conversion price of $10.0625 per share, subject to adjustment (as applicable, the “Conversion Price”). Upon any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Holdco will be required to pay each holder converting shares of Series A Preferred Stock all accrued and unpaid dividends, in either cash or shares of Common Stock, at Holdco’s option. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, forward and reverse splits, combinations and similar events, as well as for certain dilutive issuances.

 

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue at an initial rate of 8% per annum (the “Dividend Rate”), compounded quarterly, on each $100 of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Issue Price”) and be payable quarterly in arrears. Accrued and unpaid dividends, until paid in full in cash, will accrue at the then applicable Dividend Rate plus 2%. The Dividend Rate will be increased to 11% per annum, compounded quarterly, in the event Holdco’s senior indebtedness less unrestricted cash during any trailing twelve month period ending at the end of any fiscal quarter is greater than 2.25 times EBITDA. The Dividend Rate will be reset to 8% at the end of the first fiscal quarter when Holdco’s senior indebtedness less unrestricted cash during the trailing twelve month period ending at the end such quarter is less than 2.25 times EBITDA.

 

If, at any time following the second anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the volume weighted average price of Holdco’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $25.00 (as adjusted for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events) for a period of thirty consecutive trading days, Holdco may elect to force the conversion of any or all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. From and after the eighth anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, Holdco may elect to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in cash at the Issue Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. From and after the ninth anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock has the right to require Holdco to redeem all of the holder’s outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in cash at the Issue Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

In the event of any liquidation, merger, sale, dissolution or winding up of Holdco, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to (i) payment in cash of the Issue Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, or (ii) convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock and participate on an as-converted basis with the holders of Common Stock.

 

So long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders thereof, by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, shall have the right to designate two members to the board of directors of Holdco.

 

Support Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain Stockholders (the “Supporting Stockholders”) have entered into a support agreement with Andina (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which each of the Supporting Stockholders has agreed, among other things, to vote all of the shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by such Supporting Stockholder in favor of the Transaction Merger, and to not take any action to solicit, knowingly encourage, initiate, engage in or otherwise knowingly facilitate discussions or negotiations with, provide any information to, or enter into any agreement with any person (other than the parties to the Merger Agreement) concerning any merger, sale of a significant portion of assets or similar transaction involving the Company prior to April 27, 2018.

 

Lock-Up

 

Certain of the Stockholders will not be able to sell any of the Holdco Shares that they receive as a result of the Transaction Merger (subject to limited exceptions) until the earlier of (i) the nine-month anniversary of the Closing and (ii) the date on which Holdco consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction in which Holdco is not the surviving company or which results in a change of control of Holdco. Such Stockholders will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to the Closing.

 

 F- 16
 

 

Registration Rights

 

At Closing, Holdco will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement providing the Stockholders with certain demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by Holdco after the Closing. Andina and Holdco shall amend any existing registration rights agreements to which it is a party or similar agreements or instruments to which it is a party providing for registration rights with respect to Andina’s or Holdco’s securities held by any person such that the securities of Andina or Holdco held by the Stockholders will be equal in priority with all other securities of Andina or Holdco.

 

Indemnification of Andina and Holdco

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Andina and Holdco shall be entitled to certain limited indemnification for any inaccuracies or breaches of Lazydays’ representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement or for the non-fulfillment or breach prior to the Closing of any covenant or agreement of Lazydays contained in the Merger Agreement.

 

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the Merger Agreement, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent): (i) an aggregate of $4,250,000 of cash to be paid as part of the merger consideration and (ii) 142,857 of the Holdco Shares to be issued as part of the merger consideration (“ Indemnity Escrow Fund ”) under the Merger Agreement. The escrow will be the sole remedy for Holdco with respect to their rights to indemnification under the Merger Agreement, except with respect to indemnification arising out of the inaccuracy or breach of certain specified representations of Lazydays set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

The escrow agent shall release the Indemnity Escrow Fund (less any amounts for pending claims) on the first anniversary of the Closing.

 

No amount for indemnification shall be payable to Holdco unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable losses otherwise payable exceeds a deductible amount of $1,000,000, in which event all indemnifiable losses so due in excess of the deductible amount shall be paid out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund. The aggregate liability for losses of Holdco shall not in any event exceed the cash and Holdco Shares that constitute the Indemnity Escrow Fund. Holdco shall have no claim for indemnity against the Stockholders other than for any of the cash and Holdco Shares placed in escrow.

 

Representations and Warranties

 

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of Andina, Lazydays and Holdco relating to, among other things, (a) organization and qualification, (b) subsidiaries, (c) capitalization, (d) authority relative to the Merger Agreement, (e) no conflict; required filings and consents, (f) compliance, (g) SEC reports and financial statements, (h) undisclosed liabilities, (i) absence of certain changes or events, (j) litigation, (k) employee benefit plans, (l) labor matters, (m) certain business activities, (n) title to property, (o) taxes, (p) environmental matters, (q) brokers, (r) intellectual property, (s) agreements, contracts and commitments, (t) insurance, (u) government actions/filings, (v) interested party transactions, (w) board approval, (x) listing of Andina’s securities, (y) the PIPE Investment and (z) Andina’s trust account.

 

The obligations of each party to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions and Closing deliverables.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time, but not later than the Closing, as follows:

 

  by mutual written agreement of Andina and Lazydays;
     
  by either Andina or Lazydays in certain circumstances if the Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2018;
     
  by either Andina or Lazydays if a governmental entity shall have issued an order, or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Mergers, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;
     
  by either Andina or Lazydays if the other party has materially breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement such that the applicable condition to Closing would not be satisfied and has not cured its breach within thirty days of a notice of such breach, provided that the terminating party is itself not in uncured material breach;
     
  by either Andina or Lazydays if, at the Andina extraordinary general meeting, the Mergers are not approved by holders of Andina shares or Andina will have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon consummation of the Mergers and after giving effect to the exercise by the holders of public shares of their rights to convert the public shares held by them into cash;
     
  by either Andina or Lazydays by written notice after Lazydays or Andina, as applicable, delivers a disclosure supplement under the Merger Agreement to Andina or Lazydays, as applicable, and the matter(s) disclosed in such disclosure supplement shall have resulted in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on Lazydays or Andina, as applicable; or
     
  by Lazydays by written notice to Andina if at any time prior to obtaining the Lazydays stockholder approval, the Board of Directors of Lazydays authorizes Lazydays to terminate the Merger Agreement as a result of it receiving a “Superior Proposal” (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

 F- 17
 

 

If Lazydays terminates the Merger Agreement in connection with its receipt of a Superior Proposal as set forth in the Merger Agreement, it will owe Andina an aggregate of $2,200,000 within one business day of the termination.

 

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date through the date, the financial statements were issued.

 

Subsequent to November 30, 2017, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $99,666 for working capital purposes and issued promissory notes to related parties in exchange. These notes are unsecured and non-interest bearing and are due upon consummation of a Business Combination.

 

In January 2018, the Company’s non-executive Chairman provided a commitment letter to fund the Company up to $350,000 for working capital purposes. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the loan will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account. The Company has not borrowed any amount under the commitment letter.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Through its subsidiaries, Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. sells and services new and pre-owned recreational vehicles and related parts and accessories from five locations, one in the state of Florida, one in the state of Arizona and three in the state of Colorado. It also offers to its customers such ancillary services as extended service contracts, overnight campground and restaurant facilities. The Company also arranges financing for vehicle sales through third-party financing sources.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. (“Lazy Days”), a Delaware Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary LDRV Holdings Corp. LDRV Holdings Corp is the sole owner of Lazydays Arizona, LLC, Lazydays Land Holdings, LLC, Lazydays Tampa Land Holdings, LLC, Lazydays RV America, LLC, Lazydays RV Discount, LLC, and Lazydays Mile Hi RV, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2017, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2017. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, provision for charge-backs, inventory write-downs and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short- term, highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash consists of business checking accounts with its bank, the first $250 of which is insured by an agency of the Federal Government. The Company also has an additional interest-bearing account that was established for the floor plan (see Note 6 - Debt). This account balance at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1,800 and $0, respectively, and is not insured by any agency of the Federal Government.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) fees are fixed or determinable, and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.

 

Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognized on delivery, transfer of title and completion of financing arrangements. Revenue from parts sales and service is recognized on delivery of the service or product.

 

The Company receives commissions from the sale of insurance and vehicle service contracts to customers. In addition, the Company arranges financing for customers through various financial institutions and receives commissions. The Company may be charged back (“charge-backs”) for financing fees, insurance or vehicle service contract commissions in the event of early termination of the contracts by the customers. The revenues from financing fees and commissions are recorded at the time of the sale of the vehicles and a provision for future charge-backs is established based on historical operating results and the termination provisions of the applicable contracts. The provision for charge-backs totaled $1,899 and $1,790 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Deposits on vehicles received in advance are accounted for as a liability and recognized into revenue upon completion of each respective transaction.

 

Occupancy Costs

 

As a retail merchandising organization, the Company has elected to classify occupancy costs as a selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Inventories

 

Vehicle and parts inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Cost includes purchase costs, reconditioning costs, dealer-installed accessories, and freight for vehicles accepted in trades, the cost is the fair value of such used vehicles at the time of the trade-in. Retail parts, accessories, and other inventories primarily consist of retail travel and leisure specialty merchandise. The current replacement costs of LIFO inventories exceeded their recorded values by $6,506 at September 30, 2017 and $8,158 at December 31, 2016.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 because of the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s bank debt approximates fair value as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 based upon the terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of outstanding debts.

The Company purchases substantially all of its new recreational vehicles and replacement parts from various manufacturers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, four major vendors accounted for 23%, 13%, 12% and 12% of purchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, three major vendors accounted for 23%, 12% and 12% of total purchases.

 

The Company is subject to dealer agreements with each manufacturer. The manufacturer is entitled to terminate the dealer agreement if the Company is in material breach of the agreement terms.

 

Geographic Concentrations

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, approximately 76% and 79%, respectively, of revenues were from customers of the Florida location and approximately 16% and 15%, respectively, of revenues were from customers of the Colorado locations. These geographic concentrations increase the Company’s exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic, demographic and other changes in this region.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management of the Company has analyzed the activities and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2017 through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued to determine the need for any adjustments to or disclosures within the financial statements. Except as disclosed in Note 10, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would require disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 amends the existing guidance to require that inventory should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards, continued

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations”, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and in May 9, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-12”). This update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue From Contracts with Customers which is not yet effective. These new standards provide for a single, principles-based model for revenue recognition that replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 until annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. It will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendment addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: allowing the accounting policy election to record forfeitures as they occur for employee share-based payments; income tax consequences; classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business to exclude gross assets acquired (or disposed of) that have substantially all of their fair value concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The ASU also updates the definition of the term “output” to be consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 606. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and the Company adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity on the accounting for modifications of stock-based awards. ASU 2017-09 requires adoption on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 for share-based payment awards modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated cash flows and related disclosures.

NOTE 6 – DEBT

 

Floor Plan Notes Payable

 

On February 27, 2017, the Company and Bank of America amended the Floor Plan Notes Payable asset-based borrowing facility to (a) increase the aggregate availability from $120 million to $140 million; (b) add or modify certain financial covenants; (c) decrease the interest rate applicable to the facility over time until it reaches LIBOR plus 2.25% for the period from November 1, 2017 until the maturity date of the facility; and (d) amend or modify other terms and conditions.

 

The entire facility may be used to finance new vehicle inventory but only up to $40.0 million may be used to finance pre-owned vehicle inventory, of which a maximum of $5.0 million may be used to finance rental units. Borrowings outstanding under this facility totaled $83,930 and $95,999 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The facility is secured by new and used inventory, accounts receivable and chattel paper. Interest is based on LIBOR plus 2.75% and 3.25% (3.98% and 4.03% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively). Principal is due upon the sale of the respective vehicle. Interest expense on the floor plan notes payable was approximately $2,847 and $1,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The Company’s floor plan facility is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants including current ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company incurred financing costs of $139 and $155, respectively, in connection with amendments of the floor plan financing agreement, which have been recorded as debt discount.

Revolving Line of Credit

 

On November 18, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America for an aggregate commitment amount of $20,000, which includes two facilities (the “BOA Credit Agreement”). One of the two facilities under the BOA Credit Agreement is a $7,000 revolving line of credit (“Revolver”) which matures on November 18, 2020. The Revolver bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum and has no minimum payment requirements. The principal balance on the Revolver was $0 and $3,000 and the availability on the Revolver was $7,000 and $4,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The two facilities are backed by collateral of the Company’s accounts receivables, inventory and equipment.

 

Interest expense on the BOA Revolver was $67 and $127 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Long-Term Debt

 

The second of two facilities under the BOA Credit Agreement is a $13,000 term note payable (“Term Loan”) which is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and matures on November 18, 2020 with a balloon payment due of $3,867. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% (4.7% at September 30, 2017) per annum and requires monthly payments equal to $155 of principal, plus interest. The principal balance on the Term Loan was $9,672 and $10,988 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Interest expense on the BOA Term Loan was $354 and $367 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is a party to numerous legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company has certain insurance coverage and rights of indemnification. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company leases various land, office and dealership equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. These leases have terms ranging from 36 months to 4 years or 2022 and expire through 2021. Rent expense on operating leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2,576 and $2,233, respectively.

 

Transaction Incentive Plan

 

On January 30, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s Transaction Incentive Plan, which provides incentives to eight directors and employees of the Company upon the consummation of a qualifying sale transaction. The Transaction Incentive Plan expires on October 31, 2020. To the extent the proceeds received in a qualifying sale transaction exceed certain specified thresholds (the “Excess Amount”), participants in the Transaction Incentive Plan who meet the specified service requirements are entitled to a cash and stock award on the closing date of the qualifying sale transaction equal to their awarded percentage of the Excess Amount. The cash and stock awards will be paid from the consideration of the qualifying sale transaction. The Contemplated Mergers (see Note 10 – Subsequent Events – Merger Agreement) represent a qualifying sale transaction that, if consummated with no purchase price adjustments, would result in the payment to plan participants an aggregate of approximately $1,680,000 of cash and approximately $485,000 of value of the purchaser’s common stock.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Equity Incentive Plans

 

On January 30, 2017, the Company cancelled its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”). See Stock Options, below, for details on the stock options previously granted under the 2010 Plan that were cancelled on January 30, 2017.

 

On January 30, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards shall not exceed 333,333 shares in the aggregate, provided that, no more than ten percent (10%) of such shares shall be incentive stock options. The 2017 Plan shall terminate on January 30, 2027. The 2017 Plan requires the exercise price of stock options to be greater than or equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of the date the financial statements are available to be issued, there were 50,000 shares available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan.

 

Dividends

 

On April 10, 2017, the Company declared dividends totaling $15,000, which were distributed on April 19, 2017 in the form of a cash dividend to the preferred and common stockholders of record on April 10, 2017. Dividends in arrears on outstanding preferred stock were $0 and $815 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Senior Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly. Dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock are paid when and as declared by the Board of Directors.

 

Preferred Stock Conversion into Common Stock

 

On March 2, 2017, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption to the holders of all of the then designated, issued and outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock, after which the holders surrendered all 10,000 shares of Senior Preferred Stock for conversion into 2,333,331 shares of common stock.

 

Stock Options

 

On January 30, 2017, holders of options to purchase an aggregate of 75,561 shares of common stock under the 2010 Plan with exercise prices of both $68.80 and $137.60 per share agreed to cancel their option awards in exchange for new awards under the Company’s Transaction Incentive Plan (see Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies – Transaction Incentive Plan for details of the Transaction Incentive Plan awards). As a result of the option cancellation, the Company derecognized aggregate compensation expense of $14 related to the cancelled options that were unvested at the time of the cancellation.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

 

Stock Options, continued

 

During January 2017, the Company granted ten-year, non-statutory stock options to purchase an aggregate of 216,667 shares of common stock under the 2017 Plan to two Company executives with an exercise price of $26.00 per share. The options vest in equal installments of 25% on each of the next four anniversary dates from the date of grant. Upon a change of control, vesting of all then unvested shares is accelerated. During April 2017, concurrent with the declaration of the stockholder dividend, the exercise prices of the options were reduced to $21.77 per share. The incremental fair value of $269,000 of the modified option is being recognized ratably over the vesting term of the options, along with the unrecognized compensation expense associated with the original options.

 

During June 2017, the Company granted ten-year, non-statutory stock options to purchase an aggregate of 66,666 shares of common stock under the 2017 Plan to Company a new Company executive with an exercise price of $26.00 per share. The options vest in equal installments of 25% on each of the next four anniversary dates from the date of grant. Upon a change of control, vesting of all then unvested shares is accelerated. The estimated aggregate grant date fair value of $466 is being recognized ratably over the vesting term of the options.

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. The Company calculates the expected volatility using the historical volatility of comparable companies over the most recent period equal to the expected term and evaluates the extent to which available information indicates that future volatility may differ from historical volatility. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company does not expect to pay or declare any cash dividends on common stock. The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has not experienced significant exercise activity on stock options. Due to the lack of historical information, the Company determined the expected term of its stock option awards issued using the simplified method.

 

The grant date value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was determined using the Black Scholes method with the following assumptions used:

 

    For the Nine Months Ended  
    September 30, 2017  
Risk free interest rate     1.90% - 2.11 %
Expected term (years)     6.17 - 6.25  
Expected volatility     36 %
Expected dividends     0.00 %

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Through its subsidiaries, Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. sells and services new and pre-owned recreational vehicles and related parts and accessories from five locations, one in the state of Florida, one in the state of Arizona and three in the state of Colorado. It also offers to its customers such ancillary services as extended service contracts, overnight campground and restaurant facilities. The Company also arranges financing for vehicle sales through third-party financing sources.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. (“Lazy Days”), a Delaware Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary LDRV Holdings Corp. LDRV Holdings Corp is the sole owner of Lazydays Arizona, LLC, Lazydays Land Holdings, LLC, Lazydays Tampa Land Holdings, LLC, Lazydays RV America, LLC, Lazydays RV Discount, LLC, and Lazydays Mile Hi RV, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, provision for charge-backs, inventory write-downs and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash consists of business checking accounts with its bank, the first $250 of which is insured by an agency of the Federal Government. The Company also has an additional interest-bearing account that was established for the floor plan (see Note 11 - Debt). This account balance at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0 and $3,000, respectively, and is not insured by any agency of the Federal Government.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) fees are fixed or determinable, and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.

 

Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognized on delivery, transfer of title and completion of financing arrangements. Revenue from parts sales and service is recognized on delivery of the service or product.

 

Revenue from rental of vehicles is recognized pro rata over the period of the rental agreement. The rental agreements are generally short-term in nature. Revenue from rentals is included in other revenue on the accompanying statements of income.

 

The Company receives commissions from the sale of insurance and vehicle service contracts to customers. In addition, the Company arranges financing for customers through various financial institutions and receives commissions. The Company may be charged back (“charge-backs”) for financing fees, insurance or vehicle service contract commissions in the event of early termination of the contracts by the customers. The revenues from financing fees and commissions are recorded at the time of the sale of the vehicles and a provision for future charge-backs is established based on historical operating results and the termination provisions of the applicable contracts. The provision for charge-backs totaled $1,790 and $1,205 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Deposits on vehicles received in advance are accounted for as a liability and recognized into revenue upon completion of each respective transaction. 

 

  Occupancy Costs

 

As a retail merchandising organization, the Company has elected to classify occupancy costs as a selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

 

The Company reports shipping and handling costs billed to customers as a component of revenues, and related costs are reported as a component of costs applicable to revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $3,506 and $2,714 of shipping and handling fees, respectively, were included in revenue.

 

Receivables

 

The Company sells to customers and arranges third-party financing, as is customary in its industry. Interest is not normally charged on receivables. Management establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its historic loss experience and current economic conditions. Losses are charged to the allowance when management deems further collection efforts will not produce additional recoveries.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Inventories

 

Vehicle and parts inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Cost includes purchase costs, reconditioning costs, dealer-installed accessories, and freight for vehicles accepted in trades, the cost is the fair value of such used vehicles at the time of the trade-in. These costs are exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the amount of $4,510 and $2,601, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Retail parts, accessories, and other inventories primarily consist of retail travel and leisure specialty merchandise. The current replacement costs of LIFO inventories exceeded their recorded values by $8,158 and $6,226 and at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives range from 15 to 20 years for buildings and improvements and from 2 to 7 years for vehicles and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

 

Goodwill and Intangibles

 

The Company’s goodwill, trademarks and tradenames are deemed to have indefinite lives, and accordingly are not amortized, but are evaluated at least annually for impairment and more often whenever changes in facts and circumstances may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates, consideration of the Company’s aggregate fair value, and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

 

When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors for some or all of our reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of our reporting units and perform a detailed quantitative test of impairment (step 1). If the Company performs the detailed quantitative impairment test and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform an analysis (step 2) to measure such impairment. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to identify and evaluate events and circumstances to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units is less than their carrying amounts. Based on the Company’s qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values and no impairments were identified at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Goodwill and Intangibles, continued

 

Other intangible assets include manufacturer relationships and customer database. Manufacturer relationships are being amortized using the straight-line method over 13 to 18 years. The customer database is fully amortized, and had a net carrying value of $0 at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Vendor Allowances

 

As a component of the Company’s consolidated procurement program, the Company frequently enters into contracts with vendors that provide for payments of rebates. These vendor payments are reflected in the carrying value of the inventory when earned or as progress is made toward earning the rebates and as a component of cost of sales as the inventory is sold. Certain of these vendor contracts provide for rebates that are contingent upon the Company meeting specified performance measures such as a cumulative level of purchases over a specified period of time. Such contingent rebates are given accounting recognition at the point at which achievement of the specified performance measures are deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable.

 

Financing Costs

 

Debt financing costs are recorded as debt discount and are amortized over the term of the related debt. Amortization of debt discount included in interest expense was $240 and $19 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company measures the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

 

The evaluation of asset impairment requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. Management believes no material impairment of long-lived assets existed at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 because of the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s bank debt approximates fair value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 based upon the terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of outstanding debts.

 

Parts and Service Internal Profit

 

The Company’s parts and service departments recondition the majority of used vehicles acquired by the Company’s used vehicle departments and perform minor preparatory work on new vehicles acquired by the Company’s new vehicle departments. The parts and service departments charge the new and used vehicle departments as if they were third parties in order to account for total activity performed by that department. The revenue and costs applicable to revenue associated with the internal work performed by the Company’s parts and service departments are eliminated in consolidation. Also in consolidation, the Company eliminates the internal profit on vehicles and parts inventory that have not been sold.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations in the year incurred and totaled approximately $10,611 and $7,497 for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Income Taxes, continued

 

Tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return are recorded in the Company’s financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Uncertain tax positions have had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

 

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest and penalties as income tax (benefit) expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Vendor Concentrations

 

The Company purchases substantially all of its new recreational vehicles and replacement parts from various manufacturers. During the year ended December 31, 2016, three major vendors accounted for 23.0%, 11.9% and 11.1% of purchases. During the year ended December 31, 2015, four major vendors accounted for 28.0%, 13.4%, 12.0% and 10.1% of total purchases.

 

The Company is subject to dealer agreements with each manufacturer. The manufacturer is entitled to terminate the dealer agreement if the Company is in material breach of the agreement terms.

 

Geographic Concentrations

 

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 79% and 90%, respectively, of revenues were to customers of the Company’s Florida location. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 14% and 1%, respectively, of revenues were to customers of the Company’s Colorado location. This geographic concentration increases the Company’s exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic, demographic and other changes in this region.

 

Leases

 

For operating leases, rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancellable option periods where we are reasonably assured to exercise the options. Differences between amounts paid and amounts expensed are recorded as deferred rent. Capital leases are recorded as an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments during the lease term. Sale-leasebacks are transactions through which assets are sold at fair value and subsequently leased back from the seller. Failed sale-leaseback transactions result in retention of the “sold” assets within property and equipment, with a financing lease obligation equal to the amount of proceeds received recorded as a financing liability, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Compensated Absences

 

T he Company recognizes liabilities for compensated absences dependent on whether the obligation is attributable to employee services already rendered, related to rights that vest or accumulate, and for which payment is probable and estimable. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s liability for paid time off earned by permanent employees, but not taken, was approximately $1,180.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management of the Company has analyzed the activities and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2016 through the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued to determine the need for any adjustments to or disclosures within the financial statements. Except as disclosed in Note 16, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would require disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 amends the existing guidance to require that inventory should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2015–11 on its financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The FASB issued ASU 2015-17 as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative, with the objective of reducing complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 require entities that present a classified balance sheet to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as a noncurrent amount. This guidance does not change the offsetting requirements for deferred tax liabilities and assets, which results in the presentation of one amount on the balance sheet. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2015-17 align the deferred income tax presentation with the requirements in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2015-17 and its impact on financial statements and disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, continued

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations”, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and in May 9, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-12”). This update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue From Contracts with Customers which is not yet effective. These new standards provide for a single, principles-based model for revenue recognition that replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 until annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. It will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendment addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: allowing the accounting policy election to record forfeitures as they occur for employee share-based payments; income tax consequences; classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendment addresses several specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to materially impact its consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business to exclude gross assets acquired (or disposed of) that have substantially all of their fair value concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The ASU also updates the definition of the term “output” to be consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 606. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and the Company expects to early adopt ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU to materially impact its consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU2017-04 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

Acquisition of RVA

 

On November 16, 2015, the Company, in order to expand its operations geographically, acquired specific assets and assumed certain liabilities of an unrelated RV dealership business, RV America Inc. (“RVA”), operating in three locations in the State of Colorado, for a purchase price of $14,995. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805 and the results of the operation of this entity are included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. Goodwill of $5,089, which is deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net acquired assets that is not allocable to separately identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed.

Acquisition of RVA, continued

 

In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid cash consideration of $12,995 which was sourced from the BOA credit facility (see Note 11- Debt) and agreed to pay up to $2,000 of additional consideration over the next three years, based upon the acquired entity attaining defined revenue targets (the “earn-out”). The value of the earn-out was based upon RVA’s projected undiscounted cash flows, which approximated its discounted cash flows. The Company recorded a contingent consideration liability totaling $2,000, of which $1,333 is included in current liabilities and $667 is included in non-current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2016. The Company paid $1,333 related to the earn-out on April 11, 2017.

 

With regard to the acquisition, the total consideration is as follows:

 

Cash   $ 12,995  
Contingent consideration     2,000  
Fair value of total consideration   $ 14,995  

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date of November 16, 2015:

 

Accounts receivable   $ 443  
Prepaid expenses     170  
Inventory     24,474  
Property and equipment     2,252  
Intangible assets     6,100

Floor plan liability     22,266  
Total liabilities assumed     23,533  
         
Fair value of net assets acquired   $ 14,995  

 

The fair value of the inventory and the property and equipment were determined using the market approach. The fair value of the manufacturer relationship intangible assets were determined using an income approach, discounted cash flow analysis. The purchase price in excess of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

Acquisition of RVA, continued

 

The above estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As of December 31, 2015, the Company recorded the net assets acquired of $14,995 as shown in the table above.

 

In connection with the transaction, the Company incurred approximately $366 of transaction related costs, which were expensed upon execution of the transaction and reported within the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The results of operations of RVA for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the period from November 16, 2015 to December 31, 2015 are reflected in the Company’s consolidated results for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

Unaudited Pro-Forma Financial Information

NOTE 9 – FAILED SALE-LEASEBACK ARRANGEMENT

 

On December 23, 2015, the Company sold certain land, building and improvements for $56,000 and is leasing back the property from the purchaser over a non-cancellable period of 20 years. The lease contains renewal options at lease termination, with three options to renew for 10 additional years each, and contains a right of first offer in the event the property owner intends to sell any portion or all of the property to a third party. These rights and obligations constitute continuing involvement, which results in failed sale-leaseback (financing) accounting. The financing liability has an implied interest rate of 7.4%. The Company incurred financing costs of $1,025 in connection with this transaction.

 

The financing liability, net of debt discount, is summarized as follows:

 

    As of December 31,  
    2016     2015  
             
Financing liability   $ 55,599     $ 55,599  
Debt discount     (951 )     (1,020 )
Financing liability, net of debt discount   $ 54,648     $ 54,579  

 

The future minimum payments required by the arrangement are as follows:

 

                Total  
Year ending December 31,   Principal     Interest     Payment  
2017   $ 465     $ 4,104     $ 4,569  
2018     595       4,065       4,660  
2019     737       4,017       4,754  
2020     892       3,956       4,848  
2021     1,061       3,885       4,946

    $ 47,286     $ 57,086     $ 104,372  

 

At the conclusion of the 20-year lease period, the financing liability residual will be $8,313, which will correspond to the carrying value of the land. Payments totaling $4,106 were made to the lessor and interest incurred on the financing liability was $4,131 during 2016, resulting in $25 of accrued interest, which is included on the balance sheet in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Payments totaling $481 were made during 2015, of which $80 represented payment of interest and $401 reduced the Company’s financing obligation. The Company recorded $69 and $5 of interest expense on the failed sale-leaseback financing related to the amortization of the debt discount during 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Floor Plan Notes Payable

 

The Company maintains a floor plan financing agreement with Bank of America (as amended on July 19, 2016) with asset-based borrowing availability of up to $120 million through November 18, 2018. The entire facility may be used to finance new vehicle inventory but only up to $40.0 million may be used to finance pre-owned vehicle inventory, of which a maximum of $5.0 million may be used to finance rental units. Borrowings outstanding under this facility totaled $95,999 and $95,804 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The facility is secured by new and used inventory, accounts receivable and chattel paper. Interest is based on LIBOR (4.03% and 2.48% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively) plus 3.25% and 2.05% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Principal is due upon the sale of the respective vehicle. Interest expense on the floor plan notes payable was approximately $2,270 and $1,275 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The Company’s floor plan facility is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants, as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company is permitted to declare dividends so long as it is in compliance with its debt covenants. Further, the Company had outstanding letters of credit amounting to $254 and $254 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These letters of credit reduce the availability to borrow on the floor plan.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred financing costs of $260 and $160, respectively, in connection with the floor plan financing agreement, which have been recorded as debt discount.

Revolving Line of Credit

 

On November 18, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America for an aggregate commitment amount of $20,000, which includes two facilities (the “BOA Credit Agreement”). One of the two facilities under the BOA Credit Agreement is a $7,000 revolving line of credit (“Revolver”) which matures on November 18, 2020. The Revolver bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum and has no minimum payment requirements. The principal balance on the Revolver was $3,000 and $6,500 and the availability on the Revolver was $4,000 and $500 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The two facilities are backed by collateral of the Company’s accounts receivables, inventory and equipment.

 

Interest expense on the BOA Revolver was $159 and $37 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Long-Term Debt

 

The second of two facilities under the BOA Credit Agreement is a $13,000 term note payable (“Term Loan”) which is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and matures on November 18, 2020 with a balloon payment due of $3,867. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% (4.73% at December 31, 2016) per annum and requires monthly payments equal to $155 of principal, plus interest. The principal balance on the Term Loan was $10,988 and $12,845 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Interest expense on the BOA Term Loan was $474 and $58 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The Company incurred financing costs of $0 and $225 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which have been recorded as debt discount.

 

The Company’s BOA Credit Agreement is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants, as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The BOA Credit Agreement generally restricted the payment of cash dividends by the Company to its stockholders except for, (i) a one-time distribution to stockholders of the Company from the proceeds of a disposition of certain land, building and improvements and (ii) a one-time distribution, within sixty days of the closing of the BOA Credit Agreement, to stockholders of the Company in an amount up to $15,000, so long as, in each case, at the time of the payment of such dividend, no event of default existed under the BOA Credit Agreement and floor plan facility or would result from the payment of such dividend. Other than these limited exceptions, the Company was not permitted to pay dividends to its stockholders.

 

In December 2015, pursuant to item (i) above, the Company declared a dividend in the amount of $54,498, a portion of which was paid in December 2015 and the remainder was paid in January 2016 (see Note 15 – Stockholder’s Equity – Dividends for additional details). Therefore, at December 31, 2015, the Company’s ability to pay additional cash dividends was limited to the one-time $15,000 permitted pursuant to item (ii) above. At December 31, 2016 the Company was not permitted to pay dividends to its stockholders.

NOTE 15 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

 

Senior Preferred Stock

 

At any time, the Company, at its option and with prior notice provided, may redeem outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock for an amount equal to 102% of the then liquidation value as of the applicable redemption date, which is defined as an amount equal to $1,000 per share of Senior Preferred Stock plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends. The redemption price shall be paid in cash. The holders of Senior Preferred Stock have the right, at their option at any time, to convert such shares into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price, which is computed by dividing an amount in cash equal to $1,000 per share of Senior Preferred Stock by the then Conversion Price (initially $4.285715 per share of common stock). The Conversion Price may be reduced on a weighted average basis in the event of any sales of common stock for a price less than the Conversion Price. Each share of Senior Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into common stock upon the sale of common stock by the Company in an underwritten public offering that results in gross cash proceeds to the Company of at least $50,000. The holders of Senior Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the shares of common stock on an as-converted basis. So long as any shares of Senior Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the written consent of the requisite holders of Senior Preferred Stock, perform certain actions such as issuing shares of the Company, amend the Certificate of Designation or approve the merger of the Company, as specified in the Certificate of Designation. The holders of Senior Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 8% of the liquidation value, which is defined as an amount equal to $1,000 per share of Senior Preferred Stock plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends. Such dividends are compounded quarterly and, to the extent declared, are payable in cash by the Company on a quarterly basis. If undeclared, dividends continue to accumulate. At liquidation, after payment of debts and liabilities, the holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to $1,000 per share of Senior Preferred Stock plus all unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of any junior securities.

 

In December 2009, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Senior Preferred Stock to certain investors for consideration of $1,000 per share or $10,000 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 10,000 shares of Senior Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

The Senior Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Company’s option and an analysis of its features determined that it is more akin to equity and, therefore, has been classified within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets. While the embedded conversion option (“ECO”) is subject to an anti-dilution price adjustment, since the ECO is clearly and closely related to the equity host, it is not required to be bifurcated and is not accounted for as a derivative liability under ASC 815. The Company determined the Senior Preferred Stock includes a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) since the effective conversion price was less than the commitment date fair value. As a result, the Company recorded the BCF discount of $10,000 and, since the Senior Preferred Stock was immediately convertible, the Company recognized the $10,000 BCF as a deemed dividend during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Transaction Incentive Plan

 

On January 30, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s Transaction Incentive Plan, which provides incentives to eight directors and employees of the Company upon the consummation of a qualifying sale transaction. The Transaction Incentive Plan expires on October 31, 2020. To the extent the proceeds received in a qualifying sale transaction exceed certain specified thresholds (the “Excess Amount”), participants in the Transaction Incentive Plan who meet the specified service requirements are entitled to a cash and stock award on the closing date of the qualifying sale transaction equal to their awarded percentage of the Excess Amount. The Company did not accrue a liability related to the Transaction Incentive Plan because no qualifying sale transaction has closed.

 

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On January 30, 2017, the Company cancelled its 2010 Plan. In connection with the cancellation of the 2010 Plan, options for the purchase of aggregate of 75,561 shares of common stock issued under the 2010 Plan, with exercise prices of both $68.80 and $137.60 per share, were cancelled. As a result of the option cancellation, the Company derecognized aggregate compensation expense of $14 related to the cancelled options that was unvested at the time of the cancellation.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On January 30, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

(ii) If the Representative disagrees with any aspect of the Adjustment Statement, the Representative shall notify Surviving Pubco of such disagreement in writing (a “ Dispute Notice ”) specifying any and all items of disagreement (each, an “ Item of Dispute ”) within forty-five (45) days after the Representative’s receipt of the Adjustment Statement. The Representative and Surviving Pubco shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after the Representative’s delivery of a Dispute Notice (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree upon) to resolve all Items of Dispute. If, at the end of such 15-Business Day period, the Representative and Surviving Pubco do not resolve any such Item of Dispute, the Representative and Surviving Pubco shall submit such unresolved Item of Dispute to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to review and resolve each such unresolved Item of Dispute. In the event the Representative and Surviving Pubco cannot agree upon an accounting firm within five (5) Business Days after the end of such 15-Business Day period (or if an accounting firm does not accept the engagement and the Representative and Surviving Pubco cannot agree upon a replacement accounting firm within five (5) Business Days after the accounting firm notifies the Representative and Surviving Pubco that it will not accept the engagement), the Representative and Surviving Pubco shall each submit to their respective accountants the name of an accounting firm (which shall not be either of their respective accounting firms or any other accounting firm which had a material relationship with either the Company or Parent), and the accounting firm shall be selected by lot from these two firms by the respective accountants of the Representative and Surviving Pubco (the accounting firm selected in accordance with the preceding two sentences is referred to herein as the “ Accounting Firm ”). The Parties shall request that the Accounting Firm render a determination on each Item of Dispute. The Accounting Firm, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall determine, in accordance with the Agreed Principles (in the case of the Calculated Closing Date Working Capital) and/or the other applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, and only with respect to the remaining unresolved Items of Dispute, whether and to what extent, if any, the Adjustment Statement requires adjustment. In resolving any Item of Dispute, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item, calculation or other matter greater than the greatest value for such item, calculation or other matter claimed by Surviving Pubco or the Representative or less than the smallest value for such item, calculation or other matter claimed by Surviving Pubco or the Representative, in either case in the Adjustment Statement or the Dispute Notice. The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be set forth in a written statement with a reasonably detailed explanation for such determination, and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and the Sellers absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error. Any fees and expenses relating to the engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Surviving Pubco.

 

(iii) The “ Final Statement ” shall be deemed to be (A) the Adjustment Statement if no Dispute Notice is delivered by the Representative within the 45-day period specified in Section 1.5(e)(ii) (as such period may be extended pursuant to ‎Section 1.5(e)(i) ), (B) the Adjustment Statement if the Representative notifies Surviving Pubco in writing that the Representative agrees with the Adjustment Statement in its entirety at any time during the 45-day period specified in ‎Section 1.5(e)(ii) (as such period may be extended pursuant to ‎Section 1.5(e)(i) ), or (C) if a Dispute Notice is delivered by the Representative within the 45-day period specified in ‎Section 1.5(e)(ii) (as such period may be extended pursuant to ‎Section 1.5(e)(i) ), the Adjustment Statement as adjusted by (x) the written agreement of the Representative and Surviving Pubco and/or (y) the written statement of the Accounting Firm. The Final Statement shall be final and binding on the Surviving Pubco, the Surviving Company, the Representative and the Sellers.

(A) if the Working Capital Adjustment Amount is greater than zero (0), then the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted upward in an amount equal to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount;

 

(B) if the Working Capital Adjustment Amount is less than zero (0), then the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted downward in an amount equal to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount;

 

(C) if the Calculated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Final Statement is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement, then the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted downward in an amount equal to the difference between the Calculated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Final Statement and the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement; and

 

(D) if the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement is greater than the Calculated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Final Statement, then the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted upward in an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement and the Calculated Closing Date Debt Amount as set forth in the Final Statement.

 

All adjustments set forth in this ‎Section 1.5(e)(iv) shall be netted against each other. The date the Closing Date Merger Consideration is adjusted as set forth above in this ‎Section 1.5(e)(iv) is referred to herein as the “ Final Determination Date ”.

Surviving Pubco, the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of the Positive Amount required to be made by Surviving Pubco pursuant to this Section 1.5(e)(v) . In addition, if the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Closing Date Merger Consideration, the Representative and Surviving Pubco shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint letter instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly pay the Adjustment Escrow Cash to the Exchange Agent (for further distribution to the Stockholders (other than the Specified Stockholders)), to the Specified Stockholders and to the Surviving Company (for further distribution to the Participating Optionholders and the Bonus Payment Recipients), all in accordance with the terms of the Adjustment Escrow Agreement.

(g) Consent . Unless the Indemnifying Party has consented to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of the settlement shall not be a binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.

 

7.3 Insurance Effect . To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are recoverable pursuant to indemnification rights or other reimbursement arrangements or pursuant to insurance, Parent shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such indemnification rights, reimbursement arrangements or insurance; provided that Parent shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses. The existence of a claim by Parent for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay recovery by Parent for such Loss pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be recoverable by Parent. If Parent has received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from indemnification rights or other reimbursement arrangements or pursuant to insurance in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Representative and shall pay to the Representative, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

 

82

 

 

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification .

 

(a) Survival; Time Limitation . Claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and/or Section 7.1(b) shall not be made after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “ Survival Expiration Date ”); provided , however , that (i) claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii) for breaches of covenants, which by their terms are to be performed, in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing Date (collectively, “ Post-Closing Covenants ”), may be made until thirty (30) days after the last date on which each such Post-Closing Covenant was required to be performed (in each case, a “ Post-Closing Covenant Survival Expiration Date ”), and (ii) claims for indemnification pursuant to (x) Section 7.1(a)(i) resulting from any inaccuracy or breach of any of the Specified Representations of the Company or (y) Section 7.1(b)(i) resulting from any inaccuracy or breach of any of the Specified Representations of Parent, Holdco or Merger Sub (the claims described in clauses (x) and (y) , collectively, the “ Surviving Claims ”) may be made until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date (the “ Extended Survival Expiration Date ”). Any claim for indemnification under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) not made by the applicable Indemnified Party on or prior to the Survival Expiration Date, the Post-Closing Covenant Survival Expiration Date or the Extended Survival Expiration Date, as applicable, shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived. In addition, no Indemnified Party shall have any right to assert any claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII with respect to any Loss, cause of action or other claim to the extent it is (A) a possible or potential Loss, cause of action or claim that such Indemnified Party believes may be asserted rather than a Loss, cause of action or claim that has, in fact, been filed of record against such Indemnified Party or paid or incurred by such Indemnified Party or (B) a Loss, cause of action or claim with respect to which such Indemnified Party has taken action (or caused action to be taken) to accelerate the time period in which such Loss, cause of action or claim is asserted or payable.

 

(b) Any indemnification claim made by Indemnified Parties prior to the Survival Expiration Date, the Post-Closing Covenant Survival Expiration Date or the Extended Survival Expiration Date, as applicable, shall be preserved (but solely to the extent of the stated amount of such claim in the Notice of Claim relating thereto) despite the subsequent passage of such date, and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the passage of such date shall survive until final resolution thereof.

 

(c) Deductible . The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to receive indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses otherwise recoverable by all Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) , as applicable, exceeds $1,000,000 (the “ Deductible ”), and then the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount in excess thereof (it being understood and agreed that the Deductible is intended as a deductible, and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive indemnification for any Losses under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) that are less than the Deductible for which the Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification); provided , however , that (i) Losses arising from Surviving Claims shall not be subject to the Deductible and shall not be included in calculating whether the Deductible has been satisfied, and (ii) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive indemnification under this Article VII to the extent any Losses are caused by any action taken or omitted to be taken by, or on behalf of, any Indemnified Party.

 

83

 

 

(d) Aggregate Amount Limitation .

 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a) (other than Losses resulting from any of the Surviving Claims), then (A) the sole and exclusive remedy and source of recovery of the Parent Indemnified Parties for such Losses shall be against the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, (B) none of the Sellers shall have any liability to any Parent Indemnified Party for such Losses, except to the extent of such Seller’s interest in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (it being understood that the Sellers will only be Indemnifying Parties to the extent of such interest and any amount of such Losses that the Parent Indemnified Parties recover from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (based on the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Cash and the value of the Indemnity Escrow Shares so recovered) shall be deemed to have been paid by each Seller to the extent of such Seller’s interest in such Indemnity Escrow Fund) and (C) no Parent Indemnified Party shall have any right, or be entitled, to bring or pursue any claim directly or personally against any Seller or the Representative in respect of such Loss.

 

(ii) Subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article VII or elsewhere in this Agreement, (A) the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Parent Indemnified Parties are entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) resulting from the Surviving Claims shall not exceed 75% of the full amount of the Merger Consideration actually received by the Sellers, (B) the aggregate amount of Losses payable by each Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) resulting from any Surviving Claim shall not exceed the amount of such Losses multiplied by such Seller’s Pro Rata Share, and (C) the aggregate amount of Losses payable by each Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) resulting from the Surviving Claims shall not exceed 75% of the full amount of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Seller, less in each case set forth in this Section 7.4(d)(ii) the aggregate amount of Losses previously paid or to be paid by such Seller pursuant to this Article VII .

 

84

 

 

(e) Calculation of Losses . In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII , the amount of the indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made under any other representation, warranty, covenant or obligation and shall be computed net of any Tax benefit (whether in the form of reduced Taxes payable, increased rights to Tax refunds or otherwise) realized or realizable by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Losses. The Indemnified Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to realize any Tax benefit with respect to such Losses. If an Indemnified Party realizes a Tax benefit with respect to Losses at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided pursuant to this Article VII (and provided such Tax benefit was not taken into account in determining the amount that the Indemnifying Party was required to pay to the Indemnified Party hereunder in connection with such Losses by reducing the amount of such payment), then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the applicable Indemnifying Party for any payment made by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount realized by such Indemnified Party (but in no event in excess of the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the indemnification claim giving rise thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any Parent Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII with respect to any liability that is accrued (and then only to the extent thereof) on the Final Statement or any amount that was the subject of a dispute submitted to, and resolved by, the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 1.5 or that was resolved by the Parties pursuant to Section 1.5 , or that was otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Final Merger Consideration.

 

(f) Mitigation . Each Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any indemnifiable Loss. In the event the Indemnified Party shall fail to take, or cause to be taken, such commercially reasonable steps, then notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover that portion of Losses that would reasonably have been expected to have been avoided if the Indemnified Party had taken, or caused to be taken, such commercially reasonable steps.

 

(g) Subrogation . To the extent that an Indemnifying Party makes any payment pursuant to this Article VII in respect of Losses for which the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates has a right to recover against a third party (including an insurance company), the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the right of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates to seek and obtain recovery from such third party; provided , however , that if the Indemnifying Party shall be prohibited from such subrogation, the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall seek recovery from such third party on the Indemnifying Party’s behalf and shall pay any such recovery to the Indemnifying Party; provided , that any amount so paid to the Indemnifying Party shall not exceed the amount of the indemnification payment made by it to the Indemnified Party hereunder. Any such Indemnified Party shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, execute any instrument reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to evidence such subrogation rights.

 

85

 

 

7.5 Exclusive Remedy . Parent, on behalf of itself and the other Parent Indemnified Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, the sole remedy of the Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the provisions set forth in this Article VII . In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent, on behalf of itself and the other Parent Indemnified Parties, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, any and all rights, claims, remedies and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against any of the Sellers (including, without limitation, any rights, claims and causes of action arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other Legal Requirements), except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII . Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise limit a Parent Indemnified Party’s right to (i) specific performance or injunctive relief or (ii) bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon the actual fraud of the Company with respect to any of the representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Article II , it being understood that a mere breach of a representation and warranty by the Company does not constitute fraud, provided however , that the maximum aggregate amount that may be recovered shall not exceed the Merger Consideration actually received by the Sellers and no Seller shall be liable for more than the Merger Consideration actually received by such Seller.

 

7.6 Adjustment to Merger Consideration . Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed for all Tax purposes to be an adjustment to the Merger Consideration, except as otherwise required by Legal Requirements.

 

7.7 Representative Capacities; Application of Escrow . The Parties acknowledge that the Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Sellers in the manner set forth in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement and that the Representative shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by it in such capacity. Out-of-pocket expenses of the Representative for attorneys’ fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by Parent, which may make a claim for reimbursement thereof against the Indemnity Escrow Fund upon the claim with respect to which such expenses are incurred becoming an Established Claim (as defined in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement). The Parties further acknowledge that all actions to be taken by the Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VII shall be taken on their behalf by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Representative shall have no liability to the Company or any Stockholder or any party hereto for any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder, unless such liability is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative. The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Representative for all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of investigation) arising out of or in connection with, the performance by the Representative of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, unless such liability is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative.

(h) by the Company by written notice to Parent if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company authorizes the Company, subject to complying with the terms of Section 5.12 ), to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.12(c) .

 

8.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination .

 

(a) Any termination of this Agreement under Section 8.1 above will be effective immediately upon (or, if the termination is pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e) and the first proviso therein is applicable, thirty (30) days after) the delivery of written notice of the terminating party to the other Parties.

 

(b) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1 , this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and the Mergers shall be abandoned, and there shall be no liability or obligation hereunder on the part of the Company, the Representative, the Sellers, Parent, Holdco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective managers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors or assigns, except for and subject to the following: (i) Sections 5.5(a) , 5.9 , 8.2 and 8.3 , Article X (General Provisions) (other than Section 10.15 ) and any defined terms used in such sections or Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement, including a breach by a Party electing to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) caused by the action or failure to act of such Party constituting a principal cause of or resulting in the failure of the Mergers to occur on or before the Outside Date (subject to Section 8.3(b) ).

88

 

 

8.3 Fees and Expenses .

 

(a) Except as set forth herein, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Transaction Merger is consummated; provided , however , that (a) if the Mergers are not consummated and the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement and has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) and Parent has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.1(e) or 8.1(g) , Weil will pay 50% of the PCAOB Amounts that constitute the fees, costs and expenses of the Company owed to Marcum LLP in connection with the preparation of the Financial Statements within fifteen (15) days after the termination of this Agreement and receipt by Weil from the Company of an invoice for such fees, costs and expenses and (b) if the Transaction Merger is consummated, then Parent shall pay, and be responsible for, all Fees and Expenses.

(c) The Company acknowledges that the damages to Parent in the event the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) are impossible to quantify and that Parent would be required to dissolve and liquidate pursuant to its Charter Documents if this occurred. Accordingly, the Company agrees that the payment of the Termination Fee in such a circumstance is reasonable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the circumstances where Parent is entitled to receive the Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(b) , receipt of such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Parent, Holdco and Merger Sub against the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, and any of their respective former, current or future managers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors or assigns (collectively, “ Company Related Parties ”) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Mergers to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise (excluding willful breaches of this Agreement), and upon payment of such amount(s), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Mergers (except with respect to willful breaches of this Agreement).

The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

 

D. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Certificate of Incorporation, and to any Bylaws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaw so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been made.

NINTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of the DGCL or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of the DGCL, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs.

B. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of Section A immediately above is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “ Foreign Action ”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce Section A immediately above (an “ FSC Enforcement Action ”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

 

C. If any provision or provisions of this Article TENTH shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article TENTH (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article TENTH containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article TENTH.

 

ELEVENTH: The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Certificate of Incorporation or in the future. In addition to the foregoing, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall not apply to any other corporate opportunity with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation unless such corporate opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue.

ARTICLE V
CAPITAL STOCK

 

5.1 Form of Certificates . The shares of stock in the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock shall be in uncertificated form. If the shares of stock in the Corporation are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be signed by any two (2) authorized officers of the Corporation, and may, but need not, be sealed with the corporate seal of the Corporation; provided , however , that where any such certificate is signed or countersigned by a transfer agent or registrar the signatures of such officers of the Corporation may be in facsimile form. In case any officer of the Corporation who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed on, any certificate shall cease for any reason to be such officer before such certificate shall have been issued or delivered by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued and delivered by the Corporation as though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed thereon, had not ceased to be such officer of the Corporation. Every certificate representing shares of stock (if any) issued by the Corporation shall state the number of shares of stock owned by the holder in the Corporation, shall designate the class of stock to which such shares belong, and shall otherwise be in such form as is required by law and as the Board of Directors shall prescribe.

 

5.2 Signatures . Any or all of the signatures on a stock certificate may be a facsimile, including, but not limited to, signatures of officers of the Corporation and countersignatures of a transfer agent or registrar. In case an officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

 

  14  

 

 

5.3 Lost Certificates . The Board of Directors may direct a new stock certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any stock certificate previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new stock certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

5.4 Transfers . Stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these Bylaws. Transfers of certificated stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, which shall be canceled before a new certificate shall be issued. Transfers of uncertificated stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person then registered on the books of the Corporation as the owner of such shares or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and written instruction to the Corporation containing such information as the Corporation or its agents may prescribe. No transfer of uncertificated stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred. The Corporation shall have no duty to inquire into adverse claims with respect to any stock transfer unless: (a) the Corporation has received a written notification of an adverse claim at a time and in a manner which affords the Corporation a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to the issuance of a new, reissued, or re-registered share certificate in the case of certificated stock, or entry in the stock record books of the Corporation in the case of uncertificated stock, and the notification identifies the claimant, the registered owner, and the issue of which the share or shares is a part and provides an address for communications directed to the claimant; or (b) the Corporation has required and obtained, with respect to a fiduciary, a copy of a will, trust, indenture, articles of co-partnership, bylaws, or other controlling instruments for a purpose other than to obtain appropriate evidence of the appointment or incumbency of the fiduciary, and such documents indicate, upon reasonable inspection, the existence of an adverse claim. The Corporation may discharge any duty of inquiry by any reasonable means, including notifying an adverse claimant by registered or certified mail at the address furnished by him or, if there be no such address, at his residence or regular place of business, that the security has been presented for registration of transfer by a named person and that the transfer will be registered unless within thirty days from the date of mailing the notification, either: (i) an appropriate restraining order, injunction or other process issues from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (i) an indemnity bond, sufficient in the Corporation’s judgment to protect the Corporation and any transfer agent, registrar or other agent of the Corporation involved from any loss which it or they may suffer by complying with the adverse claim, is filed with the Corporation.

 

5.5 Fixing Record Date . In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to: (a) notice or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or (b) express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or (c) receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or (d) exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date of action with a meeting is adopted by the Board of Directors, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed:

 

(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent is delivered to the Corporation.

 

(c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

5.6 Registered Stockholders . Prior to due presentment for transfer of any share or shares, the Corporation shall treat the registered owner thereof as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications, and to all other benefits of ownership with respect to such share or shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State Delaware.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

7.1 The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

7.2 The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

7.3 To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

 

7.4 Any indemnification under Sections 1 or 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such section. Such determination shall be made:

 

(a) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or

 

(b) If such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or

 

(c) By the stockholders.

 

  16  

 

 

7.5 Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

 

7.6 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to the other sections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

7.7 The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

 

7.8 For purposes of this Article, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

7.9 For purposes of this Article, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article.

 

7.10 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

7.11 No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or to any stockholder of the Corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that this provision shall not limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for any breach of the director’s or the officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.

A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal executive office.

For any Awards that are nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, any iteration of the word “termination” (e.g., “terminated”) with respect to a Grantee’s employment or service, shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company Group, any shareholder of the Company nor any of their respective affiliates shall be liable for, and each Grantee shall be solely liable and responsible for, any taxes (or interest or penalties) that may be imposed on such Grantee under Section 409A with respect to such Grantee’s receipt of any Award and payment thereunder.

Section 16. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan . The Board may from time to time suspend, discontinue, terminate, revise or amend (i) the Plan in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any Award Agreement, to the extent provided in such Award Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall any such action adversely affect the rights of any Grantee in any material respect (without regard to any effect resulting from the individual circumstances of such Grantee) with respect to any previously granted Award without such Grantee’s consent, except to the extent such action is required by, or is necessary to comply with, law; provided, further, that no amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable Exchange.

Section 17. Income Tax Withholding . If the Company determines it is required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state or local tax rules or regulations in respect of any Award, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts from any cash payments to be made to the holder of such Award. In any event, the holder shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company, promptly when requested by the Company, sufficient funds to meet the requirements of such withholding; and the Company shall be entitled to take and authorize such steps as it may deem advisable in order to have such funds made available to the Company out of any funds or property (including, if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the holder pursuant to the Award) due or to become due to the holder of such Award. Such withholding taxes may be paid by the withholding of Common Stock which would be paid or delivered pursuant to such grant or exercise of the Award only if permitted by the Committee, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in the Plan to the contrary, in no event may Common Stock with a Fair Market Value in excess of the legally required withholding amount based on the minimum statutory withholding rates (or, as permitted by the Company, such other rate as will not cause adverse accounting consequences and is permitted under applicable tax withholding rules) for federal and state tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income be withheld for the payment of tax obligations (in whole or part). The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settlement of withholding obligations with respect to an Award.

(c) Priority of Series A Preferred Stock Dividends. At any time that there are accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment, or other distribution declared or made, upon any Junior Stock, nor shall any Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such Junior Stock) by the Corporation, directly or indirectly until all such Preferred Dividends have been paid in full, without the approval of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, as provided in Section 5(b)(x) hereof; provided , however , that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to: (i) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of Junior Stock that are approved by the Board of Directors and made in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors, managers or consultants of or to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) an exchange, redemption, reclassification or conversion of any class or series of Junior Stock solely for any class or series of Junior Stock; or (iii) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividended stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equal or junior to that stock.

 

(d) Participating Dividends. In the event that all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends have been paid in full, and the Corporation shall, at any time, pay a dividend or make a distribution, whether in cash, in kind or other property, on the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividended stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is Common Stock or stock that ranks equally with or junior to the Common Stock; in which case an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), as applicable), the Corporation shall, at the same time, pay to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend equal to the dividend that would have been payable to such holder if all ( i.e. , without regard to any restrictions on conversion at such time) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by such holder had been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 immediately prior to the applicable record date for determining the stockholders eligible to receive such dividend or distribution (the “ Participating Dividends ”).

 

Section 4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up .

 

(a) Liquidation Event . Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (each, a “ Liquidation Event ”), after satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations to creditors of the Corporation and distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of Senior Stock, and before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of any Junior Stock, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at their election, shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital, surplus or earnings) legally available therefor, (i) an amount in cash per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference or (ii) assuming notice of conversion has been given by the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, such amount payable (in the same form of consideration payable upon shares of Common Stock) per share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof immediately prior to such Liquidation Event (in either case, the “ Liquidation Amount ”); provided , however , that if a holder of Series A Preferred Stock has delivered a notice of conversion as set forth in clause (ii) above, the Corporation shall have the right to pay to such holder (A) an amount payable under clause (ii) above as if such holder converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof immediately prior to such Liquidation Event using the Issue Price rather than the Liquidation Preference in the calculation of Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6(c), plus (B) an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As used in this Certificate of Designations, the term “ Liquidation Preference ” shall mean $100.00 (the “ Issue Price ”), plus all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends. If, in connection with any distribution described in the first sentence of this Section 4(a), the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference then in effect and the corresponding amounts payable on the Parity Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the Parity Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the Parity Stock would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(a) and the certificate of designations (or other governing instrument) of the Parity Stock, respectively.

(ii) Any Fundamental Change shall be deemed a Liquidation Event hereunder (a “ Deemed Liquidation Event ”), unless such treatment is waived in writing by holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and in the event of any such Deemed Liquidation Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock may elect either (A) to receive payment of the Liquidation Amount per share in cash upon such Deemed Liquidation Event in accordance with Section 4(a), or (B) to convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4(c)(iii).

 

(iii) Within fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date, each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall, at the election of the holder thereof pursuant to the delivery of a notice of conversion in accordance with Section 6, be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (A) the sum of the Conversion Rate on the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change plus the Fundamental Change Additional Shares and (B) the quotient of (x) the Liquidation Preference, divided by (y) the greater of (1) the applicable Holder Stock Price and (2) 66-2/3% of the VWAP on the Issue Date (with such VWAP being adjusted proportionally in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, issuance of rights, Options or other event that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8); provided , however , that if a holder of Series A Preferred Stock has delivered a notice of conversion as set forth in this clause (iii), the Corporation shall have the right to pay to such holder in cash, immediately prior to giving effect to such conversion, and not later than the date of such conversion, all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends. “ Holder Stock Price ” means (i) in the case of a Fundamental Change in which the holders of Common Stock will receive only cash consideration, the price to be paid (or deemed paid) per share of Common Stock in such transaction and (ii) in all other cases, the average VWAP on the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change.

(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the VWAP of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and

(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in subparagraphs (i)(A)(1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

(ii) If any consideration received in connection with any Liquidation Event is not in the form of cash or otherwise covered by subparagraph (i), the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

Subject to the foregoing, each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the largest number of full shares of Common Stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such holder could then be converted (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Preference then in effect for purposes of the Conversion Rate and any Conversion Price adjustments made pursuant to Section 8) at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to such matters.

Upon conversion, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate (as defined in and determined as provided for in Section 6(c)) then in effect, by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, as set out in Section 8(j); provided , however , that if a holder of Series A Preferred Stock has elected to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(a), the Corporation, at its election, may either convert such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with this Section 6 at the Conversion Rate then in effect, or (i) convert such shares of Series A Preferred Stock using the Issue Price, rather than the Liquidation Preference, in the calculation of Conversion Rate, and (ii) not later than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice of conversion, make a distribution to such holder in an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends in respect of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted; and provided further , however , that if the Corporation has not made a distribution to such holder in an amount of all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends in cash by the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice of conversion, then the Corporation shall deliver to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate then in effect (using an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Preferred Dividends rather than Liquidation Preference in the calculation of Conversion Rate), by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the original conversion notice.

(b) Optional Conversion by the Corporation . If, at any time following the second (2nd) anniversary of the Issue Date, the VWAP of the Common Stock equals or exceeds twenty-five dollars ($25.00) (as adjusted for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events in the same ratio as the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 8) for a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (the Business Day immediately following such thirtieth (30th) Trading Day, the “ Corporation Conversion Date ”), and if the Corporation shall so elect, any or all shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted automatically (and without further action following any such election) into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Rate then in effect, by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, as set out in Section 8(j) (the “ Corporation Conversion ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may not elect a Corporation Conversion at any time during the period (the “ Standstill Period ”) in which any director or executive officer of the Corporation is prohibited by the Corporation to, directly or indirectly, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer any equity security of the Corporation during any blackout period with respect to such equity security. The Standstill Period shall also include the period commencing on the earlier of (1) the date that the Corporation shall have made a public announcement and (2) the date that such information is otherwise made public, that the Corporation is in negotiations relating to, or has entered into, a definitive agreement with respect to a transaction constituting a Fundamental Change and ending on the date of the first to occur of (i) the consummation of such transaction and (ii) the date that the Corporation shall have made a public announcement that any such definitive agreement or the negotiations relating thereto has been terminated. For purposes of calculating the next available Corporation Conversion Date, the VWAP shall not be deemed to equal or exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00) (as adjusted for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events in the same ratio as the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 8) at any time during the Standstill Period.

 

(c) Conversion Rate and Conversion Price . The conversion rate in effect at any applicable time for conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (the “ Conversion Rate ”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Liquidation Preference then in effect by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be [$●] 1 (the “ Conversion Price ”). Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 8. All references to the Conversion Price herein shall mean the Conversion Price as so adjusted.

 

(d) Conversion Procedures . In order to exercise the conversion privilege set forth in Section 6(a) with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in book-entry form with the Depositary Trust Company or its successor (“ DTC ”), a holder must comply with DTC’s procedures for converting any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In order to exercise the conversion privilege set forth in Section 6(a) with respect to any certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a holder must do each of the following in order to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

 

(i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided by the conversion agent, and deliver such notice to the conversion agent;

(iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation; and

 

(iv) if required, pay any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6(h).

 

(e) Effect of Conversion . Effective immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date applicable to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, dividends shall no longer accrue or be declared on any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding.

 

(f) Record Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date . The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash, payable in lieu of fractional shares, upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock on any applicable Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock and/or cash as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date. As promptly as practicable on or after the applicable Conversion Date and, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6(a), compliance by the applicable holder with the relevant conversion procedures contained in Section 6(d) (and in any event no later than three Trading Days thereafter), the Corporation shall issue the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion (and deliver payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares). Such delivery of shares of Common Stock shall be made, at the option of the applicable holder, in certificated form or by book-entry to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any such certificate or certificates shall be delivered by the Corporation to the appropriate holder on a book-entry basis or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the holders at their respective addresses as set forth in the conversion notice. If fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by any holder hereto are converted pursuant to this Section 6, then book-entry shares (or, if elected by the holder, a new certificate) representing the unconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued to such holder concurrently with the issuance of the certificates (or book-entry shares) representing the applicable shares of Common Stock. Any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares shall be delivered to the applicable holder at the address for such holder as set forth in the conversion notice. In the event that a holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares and, if applicable, cash should be delivered, the Corporation shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares and, if applicable, cash in the name of the holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Corporation.

 

(g) Status of Converted or Acquired Shares . Shares of Series A Preferred Stock duly converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever, shall be retired promptly after the conversion or acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their retirement and any filing required by the DGCL become authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(h) Taxes .

 

(i) The Corporation and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold taxes on all payments on the Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock, or other securities issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent required by law. Prior to the date of any such payment, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall deliver to the Corporation or its paying agent a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as applicable.

 

(ii) The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issue or transfer tax due on (A) the issue of the Series A Preferred Stock and (B) the issue of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. However, in the case of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax or duty has been paid.

 

Section 7. Redemption .

 

(a) Redemption at the Option of the Holder.

 

(i) Subject to applicable law, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at any time from and after the ninth (9th) anniversary date of the Issue Date, shall have the right to require that the Corporation redeem, in full, out of funds legally available therefor, by irrevocable written notice to the Corporation, all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference then in effect per share of the Series A Preferred Stock. Such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Corporation, and shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the day the notice is mailed to the Corporation, whether or not the Corporation receives such notice.

(b) Redemption at the Option of the Corporation . Subject to applicable law, all but not less than all of the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed, out of funds legally available therefor, at any time from and after the eighth (8th) anniversary date of the Issue Date, at the option of the Corporation, upon giving notice of redemption pursuant to Section 7(c), at a redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference then in effect per share of the Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert such shares in accordance with Section 6 after receipt of any notice of redemption delivered in accordance with Section 7(c) prior to the date fixed for redemption in such notice.

 

11
 

 

(c) Notice of Redemption at the Option of the Corporation . Notice of every redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(b) shall be given as provided in Section 13, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation.

(d) Effectiveness of Redemption . Notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall be retired as provided for in Section 6(g) and such shares will no longer be issued and outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without interest.

 

Section 8. Anti-Dilution Provisions .

 

(a) Adjustment Upon Common Stock Event . Upon the (i) the issuance by the Corporation of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other similar distribution on outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (other than such events wherein the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate therein pursuant to Section 3(d)) (each, a “ Common Stock Event ”) after the Issue Date, the Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Event by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event.

 

(b) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions . If at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the Corporation pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders of the Common Stock payable in securities of the Corporation, other than an event constituting a Common Stock Event and other than such events wherein the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate therein pursuant to Section 3(d), then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the applicable Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 8 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities by their terms.

 

12
 

 

(c) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution . If at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than by a Common Stock Event described in Section 8(a) or as described in Section 8(b)), then in any such event each holder of such Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

 

(d) Reorganizations, Mergers and Consolidations . If at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, there is a reorganization of the Corporation (other than as described in Section 8(a), (b) or (c)) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation (except, for all purposes of this Section 8(d), a Deemed Liquidation Event that is not waived as provided in Section 4(c)), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock shall then have the right to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, merger or consolidation by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 8 with respect to the rights of the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 8 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. This Section 8(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations. The Corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, merger or consolidation unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger shall assume by written instrument the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designations.

 

(e) Adjustment to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues .

 

(i) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock . In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

CP 2 = CP 1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

13
 

 

(A) “CP 2 ” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

(B) “CP 1 ” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

(C) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

 

(D) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP 1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP 1 ); and

 

(E) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price . No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the Corporation receives written notice from holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

(iii) Deemed Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock .

 

(A) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

(B) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 8(e)(i), are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this Section 8(e)(iii)(B) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, and (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

14
 

 

(C) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 8(e)(i) (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 8(e)(iv)) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Issue Date), are revised after the Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 8(e)(iii)(A)) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

(D) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 8(e)(i), the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

(E) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this Section 8(e)(iii) shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 8(e)(iii)). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Section 8(e)(iii) at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

15
 

 

(iv) Determination of Consideration . For purposes of this Section 8(e), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

(A) Cash and property shall (1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest; (2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and (3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

(B) The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing: (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(v) Multiple Closing Dates . In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 8(e)(i), then, upon the final such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

(f) Successive Adjustments . After an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 8, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Price as so adjusted.

 

(g) Multiple Adjustments . For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 8 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided , however , that if more than one subsection of this Section 8 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.

 

16
 

 

(h) Notice of Adjustments . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided under this Section 8, the Corporation shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Corporation is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware):

 

(i) compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 8 and prepare and transmit to the conversion agent an officer’s certificate setting forth the applicable Conversion Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

 

(ii) provide a written notice to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate.

 

(i) Conversion Agent . The conversion agent, if other than the Corporation, shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Series A Preferred Stock to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The conversion agent, if other than the Corporation, shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8(h) and any adjustment contained therein and the conversion agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The conversion agent, if other than the Corporation, shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, that may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock; and the conversion agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The conversion agent, if other than the Corporation, shall not be responsible for any failure of the Corporation to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Corporation contained in this Section 8.

 

(j) Fractional Shares . No fractional shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock as provided herein. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock, multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date. In order to determine whether the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a holder of Series A Preferred Stock upon the conversion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock will include a fractional share (in lieu of which cash would be paid hereunder), such determination shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such holder that are being converted on any single Conversion Date.

 

17
 

 

Section 9. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder (and all dividends payable in the next twelve (12) months); provided , however , that the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may waive the Corporation’s reservation obligation under this Section 9 on such terms and conditions as such majority holders and the Corporation may agree (the terms and conditions of any such waiver being herein referred to as the “ Waiver Terms ”). The Corporation shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the then-outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder (and all dividends payable in the next twelve (12) months), the Corporation shall take, subject to any applicable Waiver Terms, such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued in connection with the conversion provisions set forth herein will, upon issuance by the Corporation, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(a) Beneficial Ownership Limitation . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock of any Electing Holder, and an Electing Holder shall not have any right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, in each case to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, such Electing Holder would beneficially own in excess of its then applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section 14, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Electing Holder shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Electing Holder and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Electing Holder. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership of an Electing Holder shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) Notice of Conversion . For purposes of complying with this Section 14, the Company shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information set forth in any Electing Holder’s notice of conversion, each Electing Holder delivering a notice of conversion shall be deemed to represent to the Company that such notice of conversion does not violate the restrictions set forth in this paragraph, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such representation. In determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, an Electing Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a holder, the Company shall, within two Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

 

(c) Change in Beneficial Ownership Limitation . By written notice to the Company, an Electing Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable solely to such Electing Holder to any other percentage; provided , however , that any increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The express purpose of this Section 14 is to preclude any Electing Holder’s ownership of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock from causing such Electing Holder to become subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and this Section 14 shall be interpreted according to such express purpose. Solely for purposes of this Section 14, the term Electing Holder shall include all persons whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock is aggregated pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 thereunder.

 

(d) Warrants . In the event, pursuant to Section 6(b), that the Company is exercising the right to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company first shall convert such shares of Series A Preferred Stock of any Electing Holder into the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock allowable, giving effect Section 14(a), and the Company then shall have the right to issue to such Electing Holder warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in the form attached as Annex B hereto in an amount equal to the additional number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock would have been convertible if the Beneficial Ownership Limitation were not in effect.

 

(e) Definitions . “ Electing Holder ” means each holder of Series A Preferred Stock that has elected in writing to the Company to be an Electing Holder. As of the Issue Date, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock other than the Investors shall be an Electing Holder. After electing to be an Electing Holder, a holder shall always be an Electing Holder; provided , however , that such Electing Holder shall have the right to increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to it in accordance with the terms of Section 14(c). “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” means initially, with respect to any Electing Holder, 9.99% (or such higher or lower percentage given in writing by a holder upon first electing to become an Electing Holder) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Electing Holder.

 

25
 

 

Section 15. Replacement Certificates . The Corporation shall replace any mutilated certificate at the holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Corporation. The Corporation shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the holder’s expense upon delivery to the Corporation of reasonably satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Corporation.

 

Section 16. Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and Paying Agent . The duly appointed transfer agent, conversion agent, registrar and paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be the Corporation. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor transfer agent and remove such transfer agent in accordance with the agreement between the Corporation and the transfer agent; provided , however , that the Corporation shall appoint a successor transfer agent who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. Upon any such removal or appointment, the Corporation shall send notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Section 17. Severability . If any term of the Series A Preferred Stock (or part thereof) set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms (or parts thereof) set forth herein which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no term herein (or parts thereof) set forth will be deemed dependent upon any other such term unless so expressed herein.

 

Section 18. Other Rights . The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law and regulation.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

 

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

 

 
 

 

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

 

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

 

 
 

 

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

 

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

 

 
 

 

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

 

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

 

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

 

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

The Board of Directors
Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc.

Seffner, FL 33584

 

Members of the Board of Directors:

 

We understand that Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), is considering a transaction by and among Andina Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ Parent ”), Andina II Holdco Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Holdco ”), Andina II Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“ Merger Sub ”), and, for purposes of certain sections set forth therein, A. Lorne Weil, an individual. Each of Parent, Holdco, Merger Sub and the Company shall be referred to herein, individually, as a “ Party ” and, collectively, as the “ Parties ”). Under the terms of the draft Agreement and Plan of Merger with a draft date of October 20, 2017 (the “ Draft Merger Agreement ”), the Parties intend to enter into a business combination transaction by which (i) Parent will merge with and into Holdco with Holdco being the surviving entity of such merger (the “ Redomestication Merger ”) and becoming a public company (“ Surviving Pubco ”) and (ii) immediately after the consummation of the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity of such merger (the “ Transaction Merger ” and together with the Redomestication Merger, the “ Mergers ”) and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Surviving Pubco. The aggregate consideration to be paid at closing of the Transaction Merger to (i) the holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Company Common Stock ”), of the Company (the “ Shareholders ”), (ii) the Participating Optionholders, as that term is defined in the Draft Merger Agreement, and (iii) the Bonus Payment Recipients, as that term is defined in the Draft Merger Agreement, shall be the sum of (a) 2,857,143 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Holdco (2,735,882 shares of which will be payable to the Shareholders) and (b) $85,000,000 of cash ($81,392,503 of which will be payable to the Shareholders) (such sum, the “ Consideration ”). The terms and conditions of the Mergers are more fully set forth in the Draft Merger Agreement.

 

You have requested that we provide our opinion to the Board of Directors of the Company as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the portion of the Consideration that is payable to the Shareholders in connection with the Mergers. We are not opining on, and this opinion does not constitute an opinion with respect to, the Company’s underlying business decision to effect the Mergers, any legal, tax or accounting issues concerning the Mergers, or any terms of the Mergers or Draft Merger Agreement (other than the Consideration).

 

In connection with this opinion, we have made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as we have deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. We have, among other things:

 

  (i) Analyzed certain historical business and financial information relating to the Company;
     
  (ii) Reviewed certain internal financial forecasts and budgets for the Company prepared and provided by the Company’s management, which forecasts and budgets were prepared by the Company’s management in the ordinary course of business;
     
  (iii) Held discussions with certain members of the Company’s management team to discuss the Company’s operations and future prospects;
     
  (iv) Held discussions with senior executives of the Company regarding prior sale processes and discussions between such executives and third parties regarding a potential sale transaction, and the results of the same;

 

 
 

 

  (v) Reviewed counsel’s analysis of the distribution of gross transaction consideration as between Shareholders, Participating Optionholders and Bonus Payment Recipients;
     
  (vi) Reviewed certain publicly available research and analyst reports published by industry and equity analysts;
     
  (vii) Reviewed public information with respect to certain other public companies with business lines and financial profiles which we deemed to be relevant;
     
  (viii) Reviewed the implied financial multiples and premiums paid in merger and acquisition transactions which we deemed to be relevant;
     
  (ix) Reviewed the Draft Merger Agreement;
     
  (x) Considered management’s input on previous acquisitions and potential acquisition targets to evaluate the prevailing and historical acquisition multiples for small regional dealerships, which we understand to include both verbal and written indications of interest; and
     
  (xi) Conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and took into account such other matters as we deemed necessary, including our assessment of general economic and monetary conditions.

 

In giving our opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing financial and other information and have not assumed responsibility for independent verification of such information or conducted or have been furnished with any current independent valuation or appraisal of any assets of the Company or any appraisal or estimate of liabilities of the Company (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets or liabilities). With respect to the financial forecasts, we have assumed, with your consent, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company. We have also relied upon the assurances of management of the Company that it is unaware of any facts that would make the information or financial forecasts provided to us incomplete or misleading. We assume no responsibility for, and express no view as to, such financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based.

 

Our opinion is necessarily based upon financial, monetary, economic, market and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof and does not address the fairness of the Consideration as of any other date, and we assume no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming this opinion based on circumstances, developments or events arising or occurring after the date hereof. These conditions have been and remain subject to volatility and uncertainty, and we express no view as to the impact of such volatility and uncertainty after the date hereof on the Company or the contemplated benefits of the Mergers. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent that (i) the final executed form of the Draft Merger Agreement does not differ in any material respect from the draft that we have examined, (ii) the parties to the Draft Merger Agreement will comply with all the material terms of the Draft Merger Agreement, and (iii) the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Draft Merger Agreement without any adverse waiver or amendment of any material term or condition thereof. We have also assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Mergers will be obtained without any material adverse effect on the Company or the Mergers.

 

Our opinion expressed herein has been prepared at your request for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Mergers. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how holders of the Company Common Stock should vote or act in connection with the Mergers or any aspect thereof. Our opinion does not address the merits of the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the Mergers or the relative merits of any strategic or financial alternatives that may be available to the Company. We were not requested to, and did not, solicit third party indications of interest in acquiring all or any part of the Company. This opinion may not be reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to at any time without our prior written consent, except that a copy of this opinion may be reproduced in full and otherwise referred to in the Company’s proxy statement, information statement and/or other distributions of materials to the holders of Company Common Stock connection with the Mergers.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter between Imperial Capital, LLC (“ Imperial Capital ”) and the Company dated September 27, 2017, no portion of Imperial Capital’s fee for the delivery of this fairness opinion is contingent upon the conclusions reached in this opinion, nor is any portion contingent upon the consummation of the Mergers. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter between Imperial Capital and the Company, the Company has agreed to reimburse Imperial Capital for certain expenses and to indemnify Imperial Capital from certain liabilities arising from this engagement and the delivery of this fairness opinion.

 

Imperial Capital and its affiliates are engaged in investment banking and financial advisory services, securities trading, investment management, principal investment, financing, brokerage activities and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities, including the controlling shareholders of the Company. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities of the Company or Parent for our own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, we may provide or seek to provide investment banking and other financial services in the future to Parent and its affiliates and to the controlling shareholders of the Company. In connection with the above-described services, we may receive compensation.

 

The issuance of this opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Imperial Capital.

 

 
 

 

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders in connection with the Mergers is fair from a financial point of view.

 

Very truly yours,

 

IMPERIAL CAPITAL, LLC
