Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement

On January 23, 2020, Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (“Third A&R Investor Rights Agreement”), among the Company, M III Sponsor I LLC (“M III Sponsor”), Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, LLC (“IEA LLC”) and Oaktree Power Opportunities Fund III Delaware, L.P. (“OPOF III”). The Third A&R Investor Rights Agreement amends and restates the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2018, as subsequently amended and restated, in order to, among other things:

reduce the size of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from ten (10) directors to seven (7) directors;

amend the corporate governance rights of M III Sponsor and OPOF III, so that each of M III Sponsor and OPOF III has the right to designate a sole director to the Board, rather than two directors;

specify that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to reclassify the terms of certain directors; and

agree that Mohsin Meghji will no longer be considered a designee of M III Sponsor and resign from the Board, and that Ian Schapiro will no longer be considered a designee of OPOF III and resign from the Board.

In connection with the Third A&R Investor Rights Agreement, the Company entered into a Waiver Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”), between the Company and Ares Management LLC, on behalf of its affiliated funds, investment vehicles and/or managed accounts (“Ares”), dated January 23, 2020, pursuant to which Ares has agreed to designate only one director to the Board for so long as: (i) the size of the Board is comprised of seven (7) or fewer individuals, (ii) at least three (3) of the directors on the Board qualify as independent directors, (iii) Ares is entitled to appoint a director under each of the certificate of designation for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series B-2 Preferred Stock, (iv) each of the stockholders of the Company (and their affiliates) with specific board designation rights as of the date of the Waiver Agreement (other than Ares and its affiliates) is entitled to appoint no more than one director to the Board, and (v) no other stockholder of the Company (other than the stockholders of the Company as of the date of the Waiver Agreement or their affiliates) is entitled to appoint any directors to the Board. If at any time the conditions set forth above are no longer met, the Waiver Agreement automatically terminates.

The description of the Third A&R Investor Rights Agreement and Waiver Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Third A&R Investor Rights Agreement and Waiver Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

First Amendment to Rights Offering Agreement

On January 27, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Rights Offering Agreement (the “First Amendment”), among the Company, Ares Special Situations Fund IV, L.P., ASOF Holdings I, L.P., OPOF III, IEA LLC and OT POF IEA Preferred B Aggregator, L.P. The First Amendment amends the Rights Offering Agreement, dated as of October 29, 2019, to amend certain terms and conditions of the rights offering to be conducted by the Company as provided in Annex A attached thereto.

The description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective January 24, 2020, Mohsin Meghji and Ian Schapiro resigned from the Board and all committees of the Board. Messrs. Meghji and Schapiro resigned as directors pursuant to the Third A&R Investor Rights Agreement, and neither Messrs. Meghji or Schapiro decided to resign as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the operations, internal controls, policies or practices of the Company.

Additionally, solely for the purpose of reclassifying the terms of certain Board members pursuant to the Third A&R Investors Rights Agreement, the Board accepted the resignations of Peter Jonna and of Charles Garner as members of the Board and all committees of the Board, effective January 24, 2020. Simultaneously upon the effectiveness of the resignations of Messrs. Jonna and Garner, the Board reappointed each of Messrs. Jonna and Garner to serve as Class I directors until the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified or his earlier death, resignation, removal or retirement.





Except as described above, there are no arrangements or understandings with the Company, or any other persons, pursuant to which Messrs. Jonna or Garner was appointed as a director of the Company.

The Company has determined that neither Messrs. Jonna or Garner, nor any of their respective immediate family members, has or had (nor does any propose to have) a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction in which the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries was or is (or is proposed to be) a participant, that would be required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K. In addition, the Company has determined that there are no family relationships between Messrs. Jonna or Garner and any current executive officer or director of the Company.

Following the resignations and appointments described in this Item 5.02, the Board reduced the size of the Board to seven (7) directors, consisting of two (2) Class I directors (Messrs. Jonna and Garner), three (3) Class II directors (Messrs. Roehm, Montgomery and Eber), and two (2) Class III directors (Mr. Glanvill and one vacancy).

One Right to subscribe for one Unit (as defined below) will be distributed to Public Stockholders as of a record date (the “Record Date”) to be determined by the IEA Board of Directors, with the consent of the Special Committee, for each share of common stock held on the Record Date.
Rights Offering Period
20 business days, or such longer period as may be approved by the Special Committee.
Minimum Subscription Requirement

Basic Subscription Right; Minimum Subscription Privilege
Each Right will entitle the Public Stockholder that is a holder thereof to subscribe for one unit (a “Unit”) consisting of one share of Series B-3 Preferred Stock and 34.375 warrants (subject to rounding at settlement) to purchase common stock at a price of $1,000.00 per Unit (the “Basic Subscription Right”).

In addition, each Public Stockholder shall have the right (the “Minimum Subscription Privilege”) to purchase a minimum of $50,000 of Units to satisfy the Minimum Subscription Requirement, if such amount is greater than the amount of Units that could have been purchased based on the Rights distributed to such Public Stockholder, subject to the reduction and other limitations described below.

Units will be issued in their component parts upon settlement of subscriptions.
Over-Subscription Privilege
Each Right will contain an Over-Subscription Privilege (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”), which will permit each Public Stockholder that is a holder thereof who has exercised its Minimum Subscription Privilege or Basic Subscription Right in full to purchase any unsubscribed portion of the aggregate Amount of Securities Offered on a pro rata basis, subject to the Maximum Subscription Limitation (as defined herein).
Overall Limitation

Pro Ration
If aggregate exercises of Basic Subscription Rights, Minimum Subscription Privileges and Over-Subscription Privileges do not exceed 15,000 Units in the aggregate, then subscribers will be allocated the number of Units for which it has subscribed pursuant to its Basic Subscription Rights, Minimum Subscription Privileges and Over-Subscription Privileges (subject to the Maximum Subscription Limitation).

If aggregate exercises of Basic Subscription Rights and Minimum Subscription Privileges do not exceed 15,000 Units, but aggregate exercises of Over-Subscription Privileges would cause the aggregate number of Units subscribed for to exceed 15,000 Units, subscribers will be allocated the number of Units for which it has exercised its Basic Subscription Rights and Minimum Subscription Privileges (subject to the Maximum Subscription Limitation). Following such allocation, Over-Subscription Requests will be partially honored and subscribers will be allocated the remaining number of Units up to the aggregate offering size of 15,000 Units pro-rata among the subscribers exercising their Over-Subscription Privilege based on the number of Units subscribed by such holders under their Basic Subscription Rights and Minimum Subscription Privileges. If this pro-rata allocation results in any subscriber receiving a greater number of Units than the subscriber subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege (or is otherwise limited by the Maximum Subscription Limitation), then such subscriber will be allocated only that number of Units for which the subscriber made an Oversubscription Request (or for which such subscriber is otherwise limited by the Maximum Subscription Limitation).

If aggregate exercises of Basic Subscription Rights and Minimum Subscription Privileges exceed 15,000 Units, Over-Subscription Requests will not be honored due to the maximum aggregate offering size of 15,000 Units. Units subscribed for in the Basic Subscription Rights and Minimum Subscription Privileges will be reduced on a pro rata basis (but not below one Unit) based on the number of Units subscribed by such holders under their Basic Subscription Rights and Minimum Subscription Privileges until the aggregate offering size is reduced to 15,000 Units. For any reduction under this paragraph, the Minimum Subscription Requirement shall no longer apply.
Transferability
The Rights will be fully transferrable by the holder subject to the applicable holder’s compliance with federal and state securities laws; however, the Company need not list the Rights for trading on any securities exchange.
