Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, on the Closing Date, the Company, OpCo and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into the first supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture, dated as of September 13, 2021, between the Company, OpCo and the Trustee (“Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company issued its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), of which $264,500,000 aggregate principal amount was outstanding on September 20, 2023.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company was required to enter into the First Supplemental Indenture prior to or at the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”). The First Supplemental Indenture provides that the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes will be changed into the right to convert such principal amount of the Notes into the merger consideration (which is $15.00 of cash per share) (the “Merger Consideration”) that a holder of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the conversion rate immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the closing of the Mergers. Accordingly, any reference in respect of a holder’s conversion rights to a share of Class A Common Stock in the Indenture will be deemed a reference to a right to receive the Merger Consideration.
The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture contained in this Item 1.01 do not purport to be complete, and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the Indenture was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 13, 2021 and a copy of the First Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02. |
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As previously disclosed, in connection with the pricing of the Notes and the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the initial purchasers of the Notes on September 8, 2021 and September 9, 2021, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and Nomura Securities International, Inc. (collectively, the “Option Counterparties” and each, an “Option Counterparty”).
In connection with the Mergers, the Company agreed with each of the Option Counterparties to terminate the Capped Call Transactions with each such Option Counterparty. As a result, each Option Counterparty made separate payments to the Company for a total of $14,344,337 in the aggregate from all Option Counterparties. Upon the Company’s receipt of such payments on the Closing Date, all of the Capped Call Transactions were terminated.
Item 2.01. |
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
At the Company Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, except as otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest
