~~1. Organization and Business Operations~~

~~Organization and General~~

~~Gores Holdings III, Inc. (the “Company”) was~~We were originally incorporated in Delaware on October 23, ~~2017. The Company was~~2017 under the name “Gores Holdings, III, Inc.” as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar ~~Business Combination~~business combination with one or more ~~businesses~~target businesses. On September 11, 2018, we consummated our initial public offering (the “IPO”), following which our shares began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).

On February 10, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”)~~. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenue~~ pursuant to date. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the Business Combination. The Company’s Sponsor is Gores Sponsor III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Company has selected December 31^st ~~as its fiscal year-end.~~

At September 30, 2019, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 23, 2017 (inception) through September 30, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“Public Offering”) described below and efforts directed toward locating a suitable Business Combination. The Company completed the Public Offering on September 11, 2018 (the “IPO Closing Date”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Business Combination, at the earliest. Subsequent to the Public Offering, the Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

~~Proposed PAE Business Combination~~

~~On November 1, 2019, the Company entered into an~~that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, ~~(the “Merger Agreement”),~~dated November 1, 2019, by and among ~~the Company,~~Gores Holdings III, Inc.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), we acquired 100% of the stock of Shay (as it existed immediately prior to the Second Merger) and its subsidiaries, changed our name from “Gores Holdings III, Inc.” to “PAE Incorporated”, and changed the trading symbols of our Class A Common Stock and warrants on Nasdaq from “GRSH” and “GRSHW,” to “PAE” and “PAEWW,” respectively.

For accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, in which ~~provides~~Shay is considered the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and Gores III is considered the accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer). Additionally, unless otherwise stated or the context indicates otherwise, with respect to the financial information contained in this Form 10-Q, including in “Part I, Item 1.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

PAE Incorporated, formerly known as Gores Holdings III, Inc. (“Gores III”), was originally incorporated in Delaware on October 23, 2017 as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other ~~things, (i)~~similar business combination with one or more target businesses. On September 11, 2018, Gores III consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”), following which our shares began trading on the ~~merger of First Merger Sub~~Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to the “Company" or “PAE” refer to PAE Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries.

On February 10, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) in which Shay Holding Corporation (“Shay”) was acquired by Gores III. The transaction was completed in a multi-step process pursuant to which Shay ultimately merged with and into ~~PAE,~~a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gores III, with ~~PAE~~the Gores III subsidiary continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of PAE with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Proposed Business Combination”).company. As a result of the ~~First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of PAE and~~Business Combination, each share of common stock of ~~PAE will be~~Shay was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the ~~consideration. As a result of~~consideration payable in connection with the ~~Second Merger,~~transaction and Gores III acquired Shay (as it existed immediately prior to the ~~Company will own 100% of the outstanding interests in the Second Merger Sub. Following the closing of the Proposed~~ Business ~~Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all the stock of PAE~~Combination) and its ~~subsidiaries and~~subsidiaries. Additionally, the ~~PAE~~ stockholders of Shay as of immediately prior to the ~~effective time of the First Merger (the “PAE Stockholders”) will~~transaction hold a portion of the ~~Company’s Class A common stock.~~

~~The Merger Agreement~~

~~Merger Consideration~~

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration payable to the PAE Stockholders will consist of: (a) an amount in cash equal to the Closing Cash Payment Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which is expected to be approximately $444 million; and (b) a number of shares of newly-issued Company Class A common stock equal to the Closing Number of Securities (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which are expected to have a value of approximately $251 million before adjusting for the cancellation of a portion of the shares of Class F common stock of the ~~Company issued to Sponsor pursuant to that certain Securities Subscription Agreement, dated November 3, 2017, by~~Company.

For accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as a reverse acquisition and ~~between Sponsor~~recapitalization, in which Shay is considered the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and Gores III is considered the ~~Company (the “Founder Shares”)~~accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer). ~~The merger consideration~~

~~payable to the PAE Stockholders is also subject to adjustment based on PAE’s working capital, cash, transaction expenses and indebtedness~~

Accordingly, as of the ~~closing date, among other adjustments contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Including assumed indebtedness (net~~Closing Date, Shay’s historical results of ~~available cash)~~operations replaced Gores III’s historical results of ~~PAE of approximately $572 million at the closing (after giving effect~~operations for periods prior to the partial repayment of existing indebtedness as contemplated by the Merger Agreement), the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Company to acquire PAE is expected to be approximately $1.4 billion.

In addition to the consideration to be paid at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, PAE Stockholders will be entitled to receive additional earn-out payments from the Company of up to an aggregate of four million shares of Company Class A common stock, if the price of Class A common stock trading on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds during the five-year period following the completion of the Mergers.

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions as well as specified cash availability conditions. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and may be terminated by the parties thereto as specified therein.

~~Private Placement Subscription Agreements~~

On November 1, 2019, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 23,913,044 shares of Class A common stock in a private placement for $9.20 per share (the “Private Placement”). The anticipated gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $220,000,000 will be used to partially fund the cash consideration to be paid to PAE. The Private Placement is conditioned on, among other things, the closing of the Proposed Business Combination.

In order to facilitate the Private Placement, Sponsor has agreed to the cancellation of 3,000,000 of its Founder Shares and the shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the participants in the Private Placement will be issued at a discounted price of $9.20. The remaining Founder Shares will automatically be converted into shares of Class A common stock at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

~~Financing~~

Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $400,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”).

The Company intends to finance the Proposed Business Combination with the net proceeds from its $400,000,000 Public Offering and its sale of $10,000,000 of Private Placement Warrants and the Private Placement.

~~Trust Account~~

Funds held in the Trust Account can be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a‑7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of September 30, 2019, the Trust Account consisted of cash and treasury bills.

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to fund regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto (a “Regulatory Withdrawal”), subject to an annual limit of $750,000, for a maximum 24 months and/or additional amounts necessary to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination ~~within 24 months from~~and the ~~closing~~results of operations of both companies are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for periods following the Closing Date. See “Note 6 - Business Combinations and Acquisitions” for additional information.

PAE provides integrated support solutions, including defense and military readiness, diplomacy, peacekeeping, development, host nation capacity building, aircraft and ground equipment maintenance and logistics, and operations and maintenance of facilities and infrastructure. Customers include agencies of the ~~Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business~~

~~Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules.~~

~~Business Combination~~

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest income earned) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination, including the Proposed Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, is required to either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factorsU.S. Government, such as the ~~timing~~Department of Defense (“DoD”) and Department of State (“DoS”), allied foreign governments, and international organizations such as the United Nations.

The Company’s operations are organized into the following 2 reportable segments:

•Global Mission Services (“GMS”): GMS provides infrastructure and logistics management, international logistics and stabilization support, and aircraft and vehicle readiness and sustainment support. The segment focuses on customer relationships with DoD, DoS, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, United Nations, and other government agencies for work in the United States and outside of the ~~transaction~~United States.

•National Security Solutions (“NSS”): NSS provides counter-threat solutions, business process outsourcing, adjudication support services and ~~whether~~full life cycle support for complex legal matters. NSS focuses on customer relationships in the ~~terms~~areas of intelligence, defense and security, and with civilian agencies.

The Company separately presents the ~~transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required~~costs associated with certain corporate functions as Corporate, which primarily include costs that are not reimbursed by law or under NASDAQ rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are in favor of the Business Combination. In accordance with the Company’s charter, the Company will not redeem its public shares of common stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares of common stock and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. For business and other reasons, the Company has elected to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the Proposed Business Combination rather than a tender offer.

As a result of the foregoing redemption provisions and as discussed in further detail in Note 2, the public shares of common stock will be recorded at the redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with ASC 480, “~~Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) in subsequent periods.~~

The Company will have 24 months from the IPO Closing Date to complete its Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares of common stock for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest income, but less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest income to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below); however, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates acquire public shares of common stock, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period.

U.S. Government customers.

~~Emerging Growth Company~~

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. 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.

2. Significant Accounting Principles and Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ~~of America~~ (“U.S. GAAP”) ~~and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations~~for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the ~~Securities~~information and ~~Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and reflect~~notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting of only of normal recurring adjustments, ~~which are, in the opinion of management,~~considered necessary for a fair presentation ~~of the financial position as of September 30, 2019 and the~~have been included. The results of operations ~~and cash flows~~ for the interim periods ~~presented. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019~~ are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full ~~year or any other period. The accompanying~~fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements ~~included in~~and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Company’s ~~Annual Report on~~ Form ~~10-K~~8-K/A filed with the SEC on March ~~18, 2019.~~

~~Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share~~

11, 2020.

The Company ~~has two classes~~closes its books and records on the last Sunday of ~~shares,~~the calendar quarter to align its financial closing with its business processes, which was on March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures included herein are ~~referred~~labeled based on that convention. This practice only affects interim periods, as the Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PAE Incorporated and subsidiaries and ventures in which the Company owns more than 50% or otherwise controls. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Update to Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in the Company’s 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 11, 2020, other than Accounts Receivable, net and Net Loss Per Share as ~~Class A common stock~~described below.

Accounts Receivable, net

Amounts billed and ~~Class F common stock.~~ due from customers are recorded as billed receivables within accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Generally, customer accounts are due within 30 to 45 days of billings. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company assesses its overall allowance for credit losses on an at least a quarterly basis. Prior to the implementation of the allowance for credit losses the Company recorded adjustments to an allowance for doubtful accounts when collectability was uncertain.

Net ~~income/(loss)~~Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is ~~computed utilizing~~determined by dividing the ~~two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings~~net loss allocable to stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted loss per share ~~separately for each class of~~is computed by dividing the net loss allocable to common stock based on an allocation of undistributed earnings per the rights of each class. At September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income/(loss) per common share is the same as basic net income/(loss) per common share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share for each class of common stock:

~~Concentration of Credit Risk~~

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution and the Trust Account, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

~~Financial Instruments~~

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, “~~Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.~~

~~Offering Costs~~

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340‑10‑S99‑1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Public Offering. Accordingly, on the IPO Closing Date, offering costs of approximately $22,756,432 (including $22,000,000 in underwriter’s fees), were charged to stockholders’ equity.

~~Redeemable Common Stock~~

As discussed in Note 3, all of the 40,000,000 shares of class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s charter. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital.

~~Accordingly, at September 30, 2019, 38,714,829 of the 40,000,000 public shares are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value.~~

~~Use of Estimates~~

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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.

~~Income Taxes~~

~~The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes~~.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

For those liabilities or benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2019.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income amounts in various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, states or foreign tax laws.

~~The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.~~

~~Cash and Cash Equivalents~~

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

~~Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account~~

At September 30, 2019, the Company had $407,067,134 in the Trust Account which may be utilized for Business Combinations. At September 30, 2019, the Trust Account consisted of both cash and treasury bills.

~~Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted~~

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements based on current operations of the Company. The impact of any recently issued accounting standards will be re-evaluated on a regular basis or if a business combination is completed where the impact could be material.

~~Going Concern Consideration~~

If the Company does not complete its Business Combination by September 11, 2020, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of such net interest which may be distributed to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), dividedstockholders by the weighted average number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering. In addition if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination by September 11, 2020, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless.

In addition, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had current liabilities of $2,470,041 and $687,370, respectively, and working capital of ($1,227,177) and $375,661, respectively, largely due to amounts owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who are working on seeking a Business Combination as

~~described in Note 1 as well as tax liabilities. Such work is continuing after September 30, 2019 and amounts are continuing to accrue.~~

~~3. Public Offering~~

~~Public Units~~

On September 11, 2018, the Company sold 40,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), including 2,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-third of one redeemable Class A common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”). Each Whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or prior to the 24-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Warrants will expire at the end of such period. The Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The Company did not register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities law. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act following the completion of the Business Combination covering the shares ofand common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of 2.00% ($8,000,000) of the per Unit offering price to the underwriter at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) of 3.50% ($14,000,000) of the per Unit offering price payable upon the Company’s completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination.

~~4. Related Party Transactions~~

~~Founder Shares~~

On November 3, 2017, the Sponsor purchased 10,781,250 shares of Class F common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s independent directors (together with the Sponsor, the “Initial Stockholders”). On October 22, 2018, the Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares following the expiration of the unexercised portion of underwriter’s over-allotment option, so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of theequivalents outstanding shares of common stock following completion of the Public Offering. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

~~Private Placement Warrants~~

The Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,666,666 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (a purchase price of $10,000,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Public Offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the Business Combination.

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

~~Registration Rights~~

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to common shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the other security holders named therein on September 6, 2018. These holders will also have certain demand and “piggy back” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

~~Sponsor Loan~~

On November 3, 2017, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company in favor of the Sponsor to cover organizational expenses related to the Proposed Offering. On November 3, 2017, the Company borrowed $150,000 against the Note, and on August 30, 2018, the Company borrowed an additional $150,000. This Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of November 30, 2018 or the completion of the Public Offering. These Notes were repaid in full upon the completion of the Public Offering.

~~Administrative Services Agreement~~

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on September 6, 2018, pursuant to which it agreed to pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 a month for office space, utilities, and secretarial support. Services commenced on the date the securities were first listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and year ending December 31, 2018, the Company paid the affiliate $180,000 and $76,000, respectively.~~

~~5. Deferred Underwriting Compensation~~

The Company is committed to pay a deferred underwriting discount totaling $14,000,000 or 3.50% of the gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriter if there is no Business Combination.

~~6. Income Taxes~~

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The Company’s effective tax rate is estimated to be 21%.

~~The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income~~ for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

The Company has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the financial statements to determine if the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.

period.

Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more likely than not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company has concluded that there was no impact related to uncertain tax positions on the results of its operations for the period ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company’s conclusions regarding tax positions will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof.

7. Fair Value ~~Measurement~~

~~The Company complies with FASB ASC 820,~~ of Financial Instruments

Fair ~~Value Measurements, 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. ASC 820 determines fair value to be~~is the price that would be received to sell an asset or ~~would be~~ paid to transfer a liability ~~(i.e.,~~in the ~~exit price)~~principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between ~~market~~marketplace participants at the measurement date.

The ~~following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the~~ valuation techniques the Company utilized to ~~determine such~~measure the fair value of financial instruments are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions.

These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identicalor similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and amounts included in other current assets and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.

The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations approximates its fair value. ~~In general,~~The fair ~~values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by~~value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs, ~~utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices,~~based on interest rates available for debt with terms and ~~yield curves. Fair values determined~~maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for financial instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost, replacing the existing incurred loss impairment model. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020 under the modified retrospective method and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which requires the tracking and recognition

of costs that will be capitalized as an asset and amortized over the assets useful life. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020 prospectively and the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company’s remaining performance obligations balance represents the expected revenue to be recognized for the satisfaction of remaining performance obligations on existing contracts. This balance excludes unexercised contract option years and task orders that may be issued underneath an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract. The remaining performance obligations balance as of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $1,386.0 million and $1,640.0 million, respectively.

The Company expects to recognize approximately 97.9% and 2.1% of the remaining performance obligations balance as revenue over the next year and thereafter, respectively.

5. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables which represent rights to payment for work or services completed but not billed as of the reporting date. Contract assets are recorded as unbilled receivables within accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities are advances and milestone payments from customers on certain contracts that exceed revenue earned to date. Contract liabilities are recorded as customer advances and billings in excess of costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following as of the dates presented (in thousands):


	March 29,		December 31,
	2020		2019
Contract assets	$	279,459	$	295,103
Contract liabilities	$	69,662	$	51,439

The decrease in contract assets of $15.6 million during the three months ended March 29, 2020 was primarily due to the timing of billings, partially offset by revenue recognized related to the satisfaction of performance obligations.

The increase in contract liabilities of $18.2 million during the three months ended March 29, 2020 was primarily due to the timing of advance payments from customers partially offset by revenue recognized during the period. During the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $38.0 million and $15.2 million, respectively, relating to amounts that were included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities for each of the periods.

6. Business Combinations and Acquisitions

As described in Note 1, the Business Combination was consummated on February 10, 2020. For financial accounting and reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible asset ~~or liability,~~recorded. Under this method of accounting, Gores III is treated as the acquired entity and ~~includes situations where there~~Shay (legal acquiree) is ~~little, if any, market activity~~deemed to have issued common stock for the ~~asset~~net assets and equity of Gores III consisting of mainly cash, accompanied by simultaneous equity recapitalization of Shay (“Recapitalization”). The net assets of Gores III are stated at historical cost, and accordingly the equity and net assets of Shay have not been adjusted to fair value. Consequently, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Shay are the historical financial statements of PAE Incorporated and the Gores III assets, liabilities and results of operations are consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Shay beginning on the Closing Date. Shares and earnings per share information prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Recapitalization.

Other than professional fees paid to consummate the transaction, the Business Combination primarily involved the exchange of cash and equity between Gores III, Shay and the stockholders of the respective companies.The aggregate proceeds paid to the Shay

stockholders on the Closing Date was approximately $424.2 million.The remainder of the consideration paid to the Shay stockholders consisted of 21,127,823 newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock of PAE Incorporated, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”).

In addition to the foregoing consideration paid on the Closing Date, former stockholders of Shay are entitled to receive additional Earn-Out Shares from PAE of up to an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock if the price of Class A Common Stock trading on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds during the five-year period following the completion of the Business Combination. See “Note 11 - Stockholders’ Equity - Earn-Out Agreement” for additional information.

The Company also has certain warrants issued by Gores III that remain outstanding after the Business Combination. “See Note 11 - Stockholders’ Equity” for further information about the warrants.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company recorded $20.9 million, net of tax as a reduction to Additional Paid in Capital related to the transaction costs. These costs were directly attributable to the Recapitalization.

7. Accounts Receivable, net

The components of Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following as of the dates presented (in thousands):


	March 29,		December 31,

The Company considered the implications of COVID-19 as it relates to the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets. Although COVID-19 has had an adverse effect on the Company’s result of operations for the first quarter of 2020, management does not currently expect that such impact will be material to the Company’s full year results. Since the Company’s primary customers are departments and agencies within the U.S. Government, it has not historically had significant issues collecting its receivables and management does not foresee

~~Common Stock~~

issues collecting receivables in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company’s contract awards typically extend to at least five years, including options, and it has a strong history of being awarded a majority of these contract options. Management does not anticipate that the pandemic will have a materially adverse impact on such awards. The Company’s liquidity position has not been materially impacted, and management continues to believe that the Company has adequate liquidity to fund its operations and meet its debt service obligations for the foreseeable future.

In connection with the Business Combination, Shay was required to amend its existing credit facilities and reduce its outstanding indebtedness under its credit facilities such that the total indebtedness under the facilities, minus cash on hand at the consummation of the transaction would not be greater than $572.1 million. Immediately after the closing of the transaction the outstanding balance on the Second Term Loan was reduced by approximately $136.5 million to a principal balance of $128.8 million.

The Credit Agreements require the Company to comply with specified financial covenants under certain circumstances, including the maintenance of certain leverage ratios.

The Credit Agreements also contain various non-financial covenants, including affirmative covenants with respect to reporting requirements and maintenance of business activities, and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or impose restrictions on the Company’s ability to alter the character of the business, consolidate, merge, or sell assets, incur liens or additional indebtedness, make investments, and undertake certain additional actions.

The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreements as of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Future principal maturities of the Company’s long-term debt are summarized as follows (in thousands):


	As of
	March 29, 2020
Remainder of 2020	$	29,810
2021	29,810
2022	447,152
2023	128,784
2024	—
Total	$	635,556

As of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $103.9 million and $121.8 million, respectively.

Interest Rates on Credit Agreements

The interest rate per annum applicable to amounts borrowed under the First Term Loan is equal to either the Base Rate (as defined below) or the LIBO Rate (as defined below), in either case, plus (i) 4.5% in the case of the Base Rate loans and (ii) 5.5% in the case of LIBO Rate loans.

The interest rate per annum applicable to amounts borrowed under the Second Term Loan is equal to either the Base Rate or the LIBO Rate, in either case, plus (i) 8.5% in the case of the Base Rate loans and (ii) 9.5% in the case of LIBO Rate loans

The “Base Rate” is defined as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half of one percent, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America (“BofA”) as its “prime rate,” and (c) the LIBO Rate for a LIBO Rate loan with a one month Interest Period commencing on such day plus

1.0%. The “prime rate” is a rate set by BofA based upon various factors including BofA’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate. The LIBO Rate is defined as the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate or a comparable or successor rate, whichever rate is approved by the Administrative Agent (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreements).

The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to either a Base Rate or a LIBO Rate plus (i) a range of 0.75% to 1.25% in the case of Base Rate loans and (ii) a range of 1.75% to 2.25% in the case of LIBO Rate loans, each based on average availability as of the first day of each quarter.

As of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the applicable interest rate on the amounts borrowed under the First Term Loan was 7.1% and 7.4%, respectively. As of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the applicable interest rate on amounts borrowed under the Second Term Loan was 11.1% and 11.4%, respectively.

As of both March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the applicable interest rate on amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.8%.

In addition, the interest rate on our term loan borrowings and revolving loan borrowings is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR benchmark after 2021. This announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021, and it appears likely that LIBOR will be discontinued or modified by 2021. The consequences of the discontinuance of the LIBOR benchmark cannot be entirely predicted but could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.

Letters of Credit

The Company had 11 outstanding letters of credit for program and insurance requirements totaling approximately $21.2 million as of both March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company made changes to its capital stock. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 211,000,000 shares of ~~common~~capital stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, consisting of ~~200,000,000~~(a) 210,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, ~~par value $0.0001~~and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

As a result of the Business Combination, the shares issued to Shay Stockholders are reflected as if they were issued and outstanding as of the earliest reported period to reflect the new capital structure.

Warrants

As of March 29, 2020, there were warrants outstanding to acquire 19,999,985 shares of our Class A Common Stock including: (i) 13,333,319 warrants sold as part of the public units issued in our IPO on September 11, 2018 (the “Public Warrants”), and (ii) 6,666,666 warrants issued or transferred to our former sponsor in a private placement on the IPO closing date (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Company currently has an effective registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the issuance by the Company of up to (i) 13,333,333 shares of its Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the outstanding Public Warrants, and (ii) 6,666,666 shares of its Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants.

Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase 1 share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Warrants became exercisable on March 11, 2020, thirty days following the completion of the Business Combination, and expire five years after that date, or upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem outstanding Public Warrants and, unless held by the former sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided the last reported sales price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending on the third business day before the Company gives proper notice of such redemption to the warrant holders.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that, so long as they are held by the former sponsor or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (ii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and ~~20,000,000~~(iii) they are subject to registration rights.

Any transactions related to the Warrants are recorded within the stockholder’s equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of these warrants is contingent upon the share price reaching $11.50. Therefore, share activity related to such warrants will not be recorded until such time as the contingency has been met.

Earn-Out Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, stockholders of Shay immediately prior to the transaction (which stockholders consisted of certain affiliates of Platinum Equity LLC and members of PAE management, (the “Shay Stockholders”) will be entitled to receive up to an aggregate of 4,000,000 additional shares of Class FA Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) if at any time during the five-year period following the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Period”) the volume weighted average closing sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq (or the exchange which shares Class A Common Stock are then listed) for a period of at least 10 days out of 20 consecutive trading days (the “Common Share Price”) exceeds certain thresholds, described below.

The thresholds (each a “Triggering Event”) causing the Earn-Out Shares to be issued by the Company to the Shay Stockholders is any such event occurs within the Earn-Out period are: (i) a one-time issuance of 1,000,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $13.00; (ii) a one-time issuance of 1,000,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $15.50; (iii)

a one-time issuance of 1,000,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $18.00; and (iv) a one-time issuance of 1,000,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $20.50.

Further, if during the Earn-Out Period there is a change in control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that results in the holders of Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price in respect of their Class A Common Stock that is equal to or greater than the applicable Common Share Price required in connection with any Triggering Event (an “Acceleration Event”), then any such Triggering Event that has not previously occurred will be deemed to have occurred, and the Company must issue Earn-Out Shares accordingly.

If no Triggering Event or Acceleration Event is achieved within the Earn-Out Period, the Company will not be required to issue the Earn-out Shares. No Triggering Event or Acceleration Event was achieved during the three months ended March 29, 2020.

Any transactions related to Earn-Out Shares are recorded within the stockholder’s equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Earn-Out Shares will be recognized as Stock Dividends and recorded at fair value as an increase in Accumulated Deficit (or reduction of Retained Earnings) and in increase in Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital when they are effectively declared by virtue of a Triggering Event being achieved.

12. Stock-Based Compensation

2016 Participation Plan

On May 23, 2016, the Company adopted the Pacific Architects and Engineers Incorporated 2016 Participation Plan (the “2016 Participation Plan”). The purpose of the 2016 Participation Plan was to provide incentive compensation to key employees by granting performance units (“Units”). The Units were valued on the date of grant by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”). Participants in the Plan were entitled to receive compensation for their Units in the event a qualifying event occurs. In connection with the Business Combination, which was a qualifying event, the 2016 Participation Plan was terminated effective immediately prior to the Closing Date and, in exchange for a release of claims relating to the plan, plan participants received payments totaling approximately $17.4 million. The $17.4 million was paid out during the three months ended March 29, 2020, and was recorded as compensation expense.

2020 Incentive Plan

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Gores III board of directors and stockholders approved the PAE Incorporated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”). The 2020 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted units and other stock or cash-based awards. There were 0 grants issued under the 2020 Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 29, 2020.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company agreed to issue restricted stock units (RSUs) to employees representing the right to receive 1,581,960 shares of its Class A Common Stock (which was taken out of the proceeds at closing of the Business Combination of the Shay Stockholders). On April 14, 2020, subject to the effectiveness of a Form S-8 registration statement filed with the SEC on such date, the Company issued 1,581,960 RSUs to certain employees out of the shares approved for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan.

These RSUs will cliff vest in a single installment on February 10, 2021, subject to the terms of the grant agreements and the 2020 Incentive Plan.

Also, on April 14, 2020, subject to the effectiveness of a Form S-8 registration statement filed with the SEC on such date, the Company issued 35,875 RSUs to its 3 independent directors in connection with their annual compensation as directors. Such RSUs will cliff vest in a single installment on February 9, 2021, subject to the terms of the grant agreements and the 2020 Incentive Plan.

On May 1, 2020, the Company issued 339,111 RSUs to certain employees out of the shares approved for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan. These RSUs cliff vest in a single installment on February 10, 2022, subject to the terms of the grant agreements and the 2020 Incentive Plan. Also, on May 1, 2020, the Company issued 220,202 RSUs to certain employees out of the shares approved for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan. These RSUs vest in equal annual installments over four years commencing February 10, 2021, subject to the terms of the grant agreements and the 2020 Incentive Plan. Also, on May 1, 2020, the Company issued 330,303 performance-based RSUs to certain employees out of the shares approved for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan. These performance-based RSUs earn out over a 3-year performance period, subject to the terms of the grant agreements and the 2020 Incentive Plan.

13. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is determined by dividing the net loss attributed to stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock ~~par~~and common stock equivalents outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents for the periods presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders for the periods presented (in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended
	March 29,		March 31,
	2020		2019

Numerator:
Net loss attributed to PAE Incorporated	$	(4,943)	$	(5,719)

Denominator:
Basic and diluted weighted average shares	59,807,549		21,127,823

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.08)	$	(0.27)

The Company has not included the effect of 19,999,985 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 29, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2019 because the inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive based on the net loss reported. Warrants are considered anti-dilutive and excluded when the exercise price exceeds the average market value ~~$0.0001 per share. Holders~~ of the Company’s common stock price during the applicable period.

The Company has not included the effect of 4,000,000 Earn-Out Shares in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 29, 2020. The condition for the issuance of these shares based on the volume of weighted average closing sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock had not been met as of March 29, 2020.

14. Leases

At March 29, 2020, the Company had ROU assets, net of $161.7 million and lease liabilities of $165.8 million recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company rents certain facilities and equipment under operating leases. The Company’s total lease cost is recorded primarily within SG&A on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Rents which are directly chargeable to a project are charged to cost of revenues. During the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease costs of approximately $14.1 million and $17.5 million, respectively.

The Company’s future minimum operating lease payments for noncancelable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):


	As of
	March 29, 2020
Remainder of 2020	$	29,884
2021	41,558
2022	36,223
2023	32,332
2024	27,657
Thereafter	51,613
Total future minimum lease payments	219,267
Less imputed interest	53,517
Present value of minimum lease payments	165,750
Less current maturities of lease liabilities	35,324
Long-term lease liabilities	$	130,426

The weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate for the Company’s operating leases were approximately 7.63 years and 7.4%, respectively, at March 29, 2020.

The Company made cash payments of approximately $12.0 million for operating leases for the three months ended March 29, 2020, which are included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

15. Legal Proceedings, Commitments, and Contingencies

The Company is a party to, or has property subject to, litigation and other proceedings. Management believes the probability is remote that the outcome of the matters will have a material adverse effect on its operations as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on net earnings in a future period. The Company cannot predict the outcome of legal proceedings and loss or range of loss contingencies with certainty.

16. Segment Reporting

The Company's operations and reportable segments are organized around the nature of the products and services provided to customers. The Company defines its reportable segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), currently its President and Chief Executive Officer, manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.

The GMS operating segment provides support to the U.S. Government and its partners within and outside the United States providing sustainment, training and readiness support and advancing foreign policy objectives. The NSS operating segment provides a wide-ranging portfolio of offerings that support all facets of national security, including intelligence, homeland security and civil government missions.

While the CODM uses a variety of different measures to evaluate the Company’s segments, the primary measures used to evaluate segment performance are revenues and operating income. As a result, interest expense, net and provision for income taxes as recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of operations are not allocated to the Company’s operating segments.

The following table shows information by reportable segment for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 29,		March 31,
	2020		2019
Revenues
GMS	$	457,444	$	504,480
NSS	159,809		169,004
Corporate	—		—
Total revenues	$	617,253	$	673,484

Operating income
GMS	$	12,603	$	25,792
NSS	4,367		(786)
Corporate	(9,513)		(10,653)
Total operating income	$	7,457	$	14,353

Amortization of intangible assets
GMS	$	4,115	$	4,258
NSS	3,932		4,399
Corporate	—		—
Total amortization of intangible assets	$	8,047	$	8,657

Under U.S. Government cost accounting standards, indirect costs including depreciation expense are collected in numerous indirect cost pools, which are then collectively allocated to the Company’s reportable segments based on a representative causal or beneficial relationship of the costs in the pool to the costs in the base. While depreciation expense is a component of the allocated costs, the allocation process precludes depreciation expense from being specifically identified by the Company’s individual reportable segments. For this reason, depreciation expense by reportable segment is not presented separately above.

Asset information by segment is not a key measure of performance used by the CODM and therefore segment assets are not presented.

Less than 10% of the Company’s revenues and tangible long-lived assets are generated by or owned by entities outside of the United States. Therefore, additional segment financial information by geographic location is not presented.

17. Related-Party Transactions

Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount

In connection with the Business Combination, the Shay Stockholders are entitled to the payment of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the post-closing

company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing Date. The Company estimates the payment to the Shay Stockholders will be approximately $4.7 million. The liability for this estimated payment and the corresponding charge to equity of $4.7 million are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 2020.

Advisory Services

During the three months ended March 29, 2020 and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized management fees, transaction and advisory fees, and expenses of approximately $15.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. As a result of the Business Combination the $15.0 million was grouped with other similar transactional expenses and recorded as a reduction to the recapitalized equity. The December 31, 2019 amount of $5.1 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

These expenses were for services rendered by one ~~vote~~or more affiliates of Platinum Equity LLC.

18. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for ~~each~~income tax benefit was as approximately $8.7 million, and its effective income tax rate was 64.6% for the three months ended March 29, 2020. The Company’s provision for income taxes was a benefit of approximately $3.1 million, and its effective income tax rate was 37.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The provision for income taxes for the period ended March 29, 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to income or loss before income taxes primarily due to the benefit of Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII’), increased prior year interest expense deduction under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), nontaxable income and settlement of foreign taxes. The provision for income taxes for the period ended March 31, 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to income or loss before income taxes primarily due to a disallowed interest deduction offset by a benefit from the foreign derived intangible income deduction and non-controlling interest deduction.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into U.S. federal law the CARES Act, which is aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carry-back periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

In particular, under the CARES Act, for taxable years beginning in 2019 and 2020, the base for interest deductibility is increased from 30% to 50% of EBITDA. As of March 29, 2020, the company estimated that the tax benefit on increased 2019 interest expense deduction related to CARES Act is approximately $3.6 million. We are in the process of analyzing the different aspects of the CARES Act to determine whether any other specific provisions may impact the Company.

Under the CARES Act, a relief is available to us and other companies in 2020 relating to the deferral of the payment of the 6.2% employer share of ~~common stock and vote together as~~Social Security tax. That also will be a ~~single class. At September 30, 2019, there were 40,000,000 shares~~significant source of ~~Class A common stock (inclusive~~additional liquidity this year. As we point out, we estimate this will benefit our cash flows this year by about $33.0 million. Half of this payroll tax funding deferral or about $16.5 million does not have to be repaid until December of 2021. The other half will not have to be repaid until December 2022.

19. Subsequent Events

On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into employment agreements with each of its named executive officers. Each of the ~~38,714,829 shares subject to redemption) and 10,000,000 shares of Class F common stock issued and outstanding.~~

Factors Affecting PAE’s Operating Results

Business Combinations and Acquisitions

Business Combination

Merger Consideration

As described in “Note 1 - Description of the Business” and “Note 6 - Business Combinations and Acquisitions” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the Business Combination on February 10, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration ~~payable~~paid for the Business Combination was approximately $1,427.0 million. The consideration paid to the ~~PAE~~Shay Stockholders ~~will consist of: (a) an amount in~~consisted of a combination of cash ~~equal~~and stock consideration. The aggregate cash consideration paid to the Shay Stockholders at the Closing ~~Cash Payment Amount (as defined~~was approximately $424.2 million, consisting of (a) approximately $408.0 million of cash available to Gores III from its trust account, after giving effect to income and franchise taxes payable in respect of interest income earned in the ~~Merger Agreement),~~

trust account and redemptions that were elected by Gores III’s public stockholders, plus (b) all of Gores III’s other cash and cash equivalents, plus (c) gross proceeds of approximately $220.0 million from a private placement offering conducted by Gores III in which ~~is expected to be approximately $444 million; and (b) a number~~investors purchased an aggregate of 23,913,044 shares of ~~newly-issued Company~~ Class A ~~common stock equal~~Common Stock for $9.20 per share, less (d) certain transaction fees and expenses, including the payment of deferred underwriting commissions agreed to at the ~~Closing Number~~time of ~~Securities (as defined~~Gores III’s initial public offering, less (e) certain payments to participants in the ~~Merger Agreement), which are expected~~2016 Participation Plan, less (f) approximately $136.5 million used to ~~have a value of approximately $251 million before adjusting for the cancellation of~~repay a portion of the indebtedness of Shay immediately prior to the Closing, less (g) approximately $33.8 million of transaction fees and expenses of Shay. The remainder of the consideration paid to the Shay Stockholders consisted of 21,127,823 newly issued shares of Class F common stock of the Company issued to Sponsor pursuant to that certain Securities Subscription Agreement, dated November 3, 2017, by and between Sponsor and the Company (the “Founder Shares”). The merger consideration payable to the PAE Stockholders is also subject to adjustment based on PAE’s working capital, cash, transaction expenses and indebtedness as of the closing date, among other adjustments contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Including assumed indebtedness (net of available cash) of PAE of approximately $572 million at the closing (after giving effect to the partial repayment of existing indebtedness as contemplated by the Merger Agreement), the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Company to acquire PAE is expected to be approximately $1.4 billion.

A Common Stock.

In addition to the foregoing consideration ~~to be~~ paid aton the ~~closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, PAE~~Closing Date, Shay Stockholders will be entitled to receive additional ~~earn-out payments from the Company~~Earn-Out Shares of up to an aggregate of four million shares of ~~Company~~ Class A ~~common stock,~~Common Stock, if the price of Class A ~~common stock~~Common Stock trading on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds during the five-year period following the completion of the ~~Mergers.~~

~~Consummation~~Business Combination or if there is an Acceleration Event. See “Note 11 - Stockholders’ Equity - Earn-Out Agreement” of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions as well as specified cash availability conditions. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and may be terminated by the parties thereto as specified therein.

~~Private Placement Subscription Agreements~~

On November 1, 2019, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which the investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 23,913,044 shares of Class A common stock in a private placement for $9.20 per share (the “Private Placement”). The anticipated gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $220,000,000 will be used to partially fund the cash consideration to be paidnotes to the ~~Greenlight Stockholders. The Private Placement is conditioned~~condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Incentive Plan

For a discussion on ~~among other things,~~the 2020 Incentive Plan refer to ”Note 12 - Stock-Based Compensation” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Debt

In connection with the Business Combination, Shay was required to amend its existing credit facilities and reduce its outstanding indebtedness under its credit facilities such that the total indebtedness under the facilities, minus cash on hand at the consummation of the transaction would not be greater than $572.1 million. Immediately after the closing of the ~~Proposed~~transaction the outstanding balance on the Second Term Loan was reduced by approximately $136.5 million to a principal balance of $128.8 million.

Financial and Other Highlights

From December 31, 2019 to March 29, 2020, PAE’s overall contract backlog grew by 1.0% from $6,351.8 million to $6,388.3 million, of which $1,163.7 million was funded. Backlog is an operational measure representing PAE’s estimate of the amount of revenue that it expects to realize over the remaining life of awarded contracts and task orders; the funded backlog refers to the value on contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Unfunded backlog represents the estimated future revenues to be earned from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or authorized, and unexercised priced contract options. The total backlog consists of remaining performance obligations plus unexercised options. PAE believes backlog is a useful metric for investors because it is an important measure of business development performance and revenue growth. This metric is used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods presented. See "Note 4 - Revenues" of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

The estimated value of PAE’s total backlog was as follows (in thousands):


	As of		As of
	March 29,		December 31,
	2020		2019
Global Mission Services:
Funded GMS backlog	$	904,871	$	1,173,196
Unfunded GMS backlog	3,850,641		3,393,081
Total GMS backlog	$	4,755,512	$	4,566,277
National Security Solutions:
Funded NSS backlog	$	258,828	$	311,214
Unfunded NSS backlog	1,373,985		1,474,309
Total NSS backlog	$	1,632,813	$	1,785,523
Total:
Funded backlog	$	1,163,699	$	1,484,410
Unfunded backlog	5,224,626		4,867,390
Total backlog	$	6,388,325	$	6,351,800

As of March 29, 2020, PAE had a contract base of more than 400 active contracts and task orders. PAE served as the prime contractor on approximately 96% of its contracts. The DoD and DoS are PAE’s largest customers and accounted for 36.8% and 19.5% of its revenue during the three months ended March 29, 2020, respectively. International Logistics and Stabilization, Infrastructure and Logistics, Readiness and Sustainment, and Business ~~Combination.~~

Process Solutions were PAE’s largest contributors by service area, representing 32%, 28%, 14%, and 14% of its revenue, respectively. PAE’s long-tenured contracts have created a recurring base business with its top revenue-generating contracts having a weighted average contract length of greater than 7 years, as of March 29, 2020. We believe that revenue from these long-running contracts will continued to be secure as PAE’s contracts are predominately funded from stable portions of the DoD budget with little dependence on wartime or emergency overseas contingency operations funding.

Trends and Factors Affecting PAE’s Future Performance

External Factors

Because PAE’s business primarily focuses on providing services to the U.S. Government and allied nations and organizations, PAE’s performance is inherently linked to governmental missions and goals. We have concentrated our business efforts on those missions and goals that are enduring and that have limited exposure to abrupt policy changes. For example, PAE has supported U.S. embassies since the 1970s. We are also trusted by our customers to support them on major policy initiatives that require immediate response to solve an acute crisis. Examples of this work include our rapid establishment and operation of Ebola treatment units in Liberia in 2015 and our work this year on behalf of the state of Georgia in converting a convention center to a COVID-19 treatment center in less than one week.

Over most of the last two decades, the U.S. Government has increased its reliance on the private sector for a wide range of professional and support services. This increased use of outsourcing by the U.S. Government has been driven by a variety of factors, including lean-government initiatives launched in the 1990s, surges in demand during times of national crisis, the increased complexity of missions conducted by the U.S. military and the DoS, increased focus of the U.S. military on war-fighting efforts and loss of skills within the government caused by workforce reductions and retirements.

Although the size of future U.S. Government department and agency budgets remains subject to change, current indications are that overall U.S. Government spending will remain consistent with current spending levels. PAE believes the following industry trends will result in continued strong demand in the target markets for the types of services it provides:

•the continued transformation of military forces, leading to increased outsourcing of non-combat functions, including life-cycle asset management functions ranging from organizational to depot level maintenance;

•an increased level of coordination between the DoS and DoD on key national security initiatives and foreign policies;

•increased maintenance, overhaul and upgrade needs to support aging military platforms; and

•the on-going evolution of international relations that may require enhanced or new policy initiatives.

CurrentEconomic Conditions

PAE believes that its industry and customer base are less likely to be affected by many of the factors generally affecting business and consumer spending. PAE’s contract awards typically extend to five years, including options, and it has a strong history of being awarded a majority of these contract options. Additionally, since PAE’s primary customers are departments and agencies within the U.S. Government, it has not historically had significant issues collecting its receivables. However, PAE cannot be certain that the economic environment, government debt levels, or other factors will not adversely impact its business, financial condition or results of operations in the future. The government has taken several financial precautions and measures

to combat the current financial market conditions. The Company cannot ascertain the impact that these economic conditions may have on its business.

Impact of COVID-19

We continue to work with our stakeholders (including customers, employees, suppliers and local communities) to address this global pandemic. Specifically, we are working closely with our customers, including those within the U.S. Government, to permit continued contract performance and to mitigate the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and personnel. We continue to review our contractual provisions, hold discussions with customers regarding the pandemic’s potential impact on contract operations, and take actions to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on our business, workforce, supply chain, revenues, and results of operations. We are continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic and other related uncertainties on financial markets, which has caused us to delay undertaking certain actions in support of our strategic plans. In response to COVID-19, we have taken a number of steps to ensure the protection of employees and customers, as well as to mitigate any operational and financials impacts. In particular, we are:

•Implementing enhanced safety protocols, including at customer sites, in order to ~~facilitate~~protect our employees and customers and to maintain continuity of operations;

•Monitoring on a daily basis the ~~Private Placement, Sponsor has agreed~~COVID-19 status of employees and independent contractors;

•Reviewing on a daily basis the impact of COVID-19 on programs, facilities and contracts with customers;

•Reducing overhead costs by among other things delaying planned hiring and by cancelling travel that is not directly related to program requirements;

•Developing contingency and business continuity plans in case COVID-19 disruptions increase or key personnel become incapacitated;

•Identifying new business opportunities related to COVID-19, including expanded service offerings for existing customers;

•Entering into contract modifications and advance agreements where applicable to permit recovery of costs relating to COVID-19; and

•Engaging in frequent and ongoing dialogue and contract negotiations with customers to either:

◦Permit PAE employees to continue to work safely (including remotely); or,

◦Permit PAE to be reimbursed the costs of paid leave for employees who are unable to work (as provided by Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).

Due to the ~~cancellation~~nature of ~~3,000,000~~our business, and although our operations have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact has not been material to date. In particular, our U.S. Government customers have taken steps to ensure the continuance of many of the services provided by us and other contractors, including, but not limited to, designating certain PAE contracts as essential for continued performance and authorizing remote work for contractor personnel that cannot access worksites. In addition, the impact may be further mitigated by the CARES Act, which allows U.S. government agencies to reimburse contractors such as us for paid leave for employees who cannot access work sites or telework. However, some U.S. Government customers have suspended or reduced work under certain of our contracts.

Although COVID-19 has had an adverse effect on our results of operations for the first quarter of 2020, we do not currently expect that such impact will be material to our full year results based on information known to us at this time. Since our primary customers are departments and agencies within the U.S. Government, we have not historically had significant issues collecting our receivables and do not foresee issues collecting our receivables in the foreseeable future. In addition, our contract awards typically extend to at least five years, including options, and we have a strong history of being awarded a majority of these contract options; we do not anticipate that the pandemic will have a materially adverse impact on such awards.

Our liquidity position has not been materially impacted, and we continue to believe that we have adequate liquidity to fund our operations and meet our debt service obligations for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the longer the duration of the event and the more widespread in geographic locations where we and our suppliers operate, the more likely it is that it could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows in the future.

Inflation and Pricing

Most of PAE’s contracts provide for estimates of future labor costs to be escalated for any option periods, while the non-labor costs in its contracts are normally considered reimbursable at cost. PAE’s property and equipment consists principally of computer systems equipment, machinery and transportation equipment, leasehold improvements, and furniture and fixtures. PAE does not expect the overall impact of inflation on replacement costs of its ~~Founder Shares~~property and equipment to be material to its future results of operations or financial condition.

Primary Components of Operating Results

Revenues

The majority of PAE’s revenues are generated from contracts with the U.S. Government and its agencies. PAE enters into a variety of contract types, including fixed price, cost reimbursable, and time and materials contracts.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues includes costs related to labor, material, subcontract labor and other costs that are allowable and allocable to contracts under federal procurement standards.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of (i) fringe benefits related to the contract costs; (ii) salaries and wages plus associated fringe benefits and occupancy costs related to executive and senior management, business development, bid and proposal, contracts administration, finance and accounting, human resources, recruiting, information systems support, legal and corporate governance; and (iii) unallowable costs under applicable procurement standards that are not allocable to contracts for billing purposes. Unallowable costs do not generate revenue but are necessary for business operations.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by approximately $56.2 million, or 8.3%, from the comparable period in 2019. The decrease was attributable to timing related impacts on billable materials and task orders for incremental labor, the recompete loss of certain contracts, and an approximate $14.0 million impact from COVID-19. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in on-contract growth and new business programs. The GMS and NSS segment revenues decreased by approximately $47.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by approximately $52.0 million, or 10.0%, from the comparable period in 2019. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily driven by lower non-labor volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 29, 2020, increased by approximately $2.3 million, or 1.7%, from the comparable period in 2019. The increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by transaction related expenses.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 7.0%, from the comparable period in 2019. The reduction was associated with amortizing certain customer relationships, development technologies, and trade names.

Other income, net

Other income, net for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by approximately $(0.9) million, from the comparable period in 2019.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by approximately $6.7 million, from the comparable period in 2019. The decrease resulted from lower revenue volume partially offset by a corresponding reduction in cost of revenues, and increased transaction-related selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by approximately $1.7 million, or 7.6%, from the comparable period in 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by debt prepayments made in the first quarter of 2020.

Net loss

Net loss attributed to PAE Incorporated for the three months ended March 29, 2020 was $4.9 million compared with a net loss attributed to PAE Incorporated of approximately $5.8 million in the comparable period in 2019. The decrease in net loss for the three months ended March 29, 2020, was primarily driven by factors impacting operating income.

Global Mission Services Segment Results

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by $47.0 million, or 9.3%, from the comparable period in 2019. This decrease was partially attributable to timing-related impacts on billable materials and task orders for incremental labor and partially as a result of an approximate $12 million impact from COVID-19. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in on-contract growth and new programs.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2020 decreased by $13.2 million from the comparable period in 2019. This decrease was primarily from lower revenue and increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.

National Security Solutions Segment Results

Revenues

Revenues for the three ended March 29, 2020 decreased by $9.2 million, or 5.4%, from the comparable period in 2019. This decrease was partially driven by the loss of certain recompete contracts and partially as a result of an approximate $2.0 million impact from COVID-19. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in on-contract growth and new programs.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2020 increased by $5.2 million from the comparable period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to losses incurred by PAE ISR LLC in the first quarter of 2019. PAE sold substantially all the assets of PAE ISR LLC in the fourth quarter of 2019. This favorable impact of this action on the first quarter 2020’s operating income was partially offset by increased cost of revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 29, 2020, PAE had cash and cash equivalents totaling $99.8 million and $103.9 million of availability under its Revolving Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2019, PAE had cash and cash equivalents totaling $68.0 million and $121.8 million of availability under its Revolving Credit Facility.

PAE’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and borrowings under its credit facilities to provide capital necessary for financing working capital requirements, capital expenditures and making selective strategic acquisitions.

PAE expects the combination of its current cash, cash flow from operations, and the ~~shares of Class A common stock~~available borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility to be ~~issued~~sufficient to ~~the participants~~continue to meet its normal working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other cash requirements. However, significant increases or decreases in revenues, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and merger and acquisition activity can affect PAE’s liquidity. PAE’s accounts receivable and accounts payable levels can be affected by changes in the ~~Private Placement will~~level of contract work it performs, by the timing of large materials purchases, and subcontractor efforts used in its contracts. Government funding delays can cause delays in PAE’s ability to invoice for revenues earned, presenting a potential negative impact on liquidity.

In connection with the Business Combination, Shay was required to amend its existing credit facilities and reduce its outstanding indebtedness under its credit facilities such that the total indebtedness under the facilities, minus cash on hand at the consummation of the transaction would not be ~~issued at a discounted price of $9.20. The remaining Founder Shares will automatically be converted into shares of Class A common stock at~~greater than $572.1 million. Immediately after the closing of the ~~transactions contemplated~~transaction the outstanding balance on the Second Term Loan was reduced by approximately $136.5 million to a principal balance of $128.8 million.

See “Note 10 - Debt” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the terms and availability of PAE’s credit facilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 29, 2020 decreased by $28.4 million primarily as a result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued salaries, offset by reduced accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2020 improved by $3.2 million from the comparable period in 2019, primarily driven by lower expenditures for property and equipment.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2020 was $21.3 million, an increase of $65.2 million from the comparable period in 2019. The increase was primarily driven by the ~~Merger Agreement.~~

The Company’s borrowing arrangement provides for borrowings up to $506.7 million under a first lien term loan credit agreement, dated October 26, 2016, as amended (the “First Term Loan”), $265.3 million under a second lien term loan credit agreement, dated October 26, 2016, as amended (the “Second Term Loan”), and $150 million under a revolving credit facility dated October 26, 2016, as amended (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the First Term Loan and the Second Term Loan, the “Credit Agreements”). Principal and interest are due quarterly on the First Term Loan and interest is only due quarterly on the Second Term Loan. The maturity date of the First Term Loan is October 20, 2022. For the ~~nine~~Second Term Loan the maturity date is October 20, 2023. For the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility the maturity date is October 20, 2021.

The Credit Agreements require the Company to comply with specified financial covenants under certain circumstances, including the maintenance of certain leverage ratios.

PAE was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreements as of March 29, 2020, see “Note 10 - Debt” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

PAE has outstanding performance guarantees and cross-indemnity agreements in connection with certain aspects of its business. PAE also has letters of credit outstanding principally related to performance guarantees on contracts and surety bonds outstanding principally related to performance and subcontractor payment bonds as described in "Note 10 - Debt" of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

PAE has entered into various arrangements to provide architectural, engineering, program management, construction management and operations and maintenance services. The ownership percentage of these ventures is typically representative of the work to be performed or the amount of risk assumed by each venture partner. Some of these ventures are considered variable interest entities. PAE has consolidated all ventures over which it has control. For all others, PAE’s portion of the earnings are recorded in equity in earnings of ventures. See "Note 9 - Consolidated Variable Interest Entities" of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

PAE does not believe that it has any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that would be material to investors.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of recently announced accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on PAE’s condensed consolidated financial statements, see "Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements" of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

PAE’s MD&A is based upon its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Due to the size and nature of many of PAE’s programs, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is subject to a wide range of variables, including assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Actual results may differ from PAE’s management’s estimates.

PAE has identified the following accounting policies as critical because they require significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

•Revenue Recognition

•Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

•Income Taxes

Revenue Recognition

PAE accounts for a contract when it has been approved by all parties in the arrangement, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. At contract inception, PAE identifies distinct goods or services promised in the contract, referred to as performance obligations, and then determines the transaction price for the contract.

PAE’s contracts contain promises to provide distinct goods or services to its customers. These represent separate performance obligations and units of account. PAE’s management evaluates whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation or whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single arrangement at the outset of the contract. Most of PAE’s contracts consist of providing a complex set of interrelated goods and services that together provide a single deliverable or solution to the customer, and accordingly are accounted for as a single performance obligation. PAE also may engage with a customer on a contract where multiple distinct goods or services may be provided. In such circumstance, multiple performance obligations exist, and PAE would allocate the contract’s transaction price to the individual performance obligations based on estimated relative standalone selling price. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which PAE forecasts expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service promised.

Revenue is recognized when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For substantially all of PAE’s contracts, PAE satisfies its performance obligations over time as its customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits. Revenue is recognized over time when there is a continuous transfer of control to the customer.

For U.S. Government contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the U.S. Government to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. When control is transferred over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. Based on the nature of the products and services provided in the contract, PAE uses judgment to determine if an input measure or output measure best depicts the transfer of control over time.

For services contracts, performance obligations are typically satisfied as services are rendered and PAE uses a contract cost-based input method to measure progress. Contract costs include labor, material and allocable indirect expenses. Revenue is recognized proportionally as contract costs are incurred plus estimated fees. If a contract does not meet the criteria for recognizing revenue over time, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the good or service is transferred to the customer. Control is considered to have transferred when PAE has a right to payment and the customer has legal title.

PAE reviews the progress and execution of performance obligations under the estimate at completion process. As part of this process, PAE reviews information including, but not limited

to, key contract terms and conditions, program schedule, progress towards completion, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include judgments about the ability and cost to achieve the contract milestones and other technical contract requirements. PAE must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation, execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of PAE’s contracts.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

PAE evaluates goodwill for potential impairment annually on the first day of the fourth quarter or if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of a reportable segment may have fallen below its carrying value. The evaluation includes comparing the fair value of each of the reportable segments using a discounted cash flow methodology, or other fair value measures as considered appropriate in the circumstances, to its net book value, including goodwill. If the net book value exceeds the fair value, PAE will measure impairment by comparing the derived fair value of goodwill to its’ carrying value, and any impairment is recorded in the current period.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, PAE performed the annual qualitative impairment test for both of its reportable segments and noted that no impairment existed. There were no events or circumstances during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 29, 2020 indicating that the carrying value of goodwill was not recoverable. The Company has considered the implications of COVID-19 as they relate to the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets. Although COVID-19 has had an adverse effect on our results of operations for the first quarter of 2020, we do not currently expect that such impact will be material to our full year results based on information known at this time. Since our primary customers are departments and agencies within the U.S. Government, we have not historically had ~~net income~~significant issues collecting our receivables and do not foresee issues collecting our receivables in the foreseeable future. In addition, our contract awards typically extend to at least five years, including options, and we have a strong history of ~~$3,166,685.~~being awarded a majority of these contract options; we do not anticipate that the pandemic will have a materially adverse impact on such awards. Our ~~business activities during the quarter mainly consisted of identifying~~liquidity position has not been materially impacted, and ~~evaluating prospective acquisition candidates for a Business Combination. We~~we continue to believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect a Business Combination with an operating business by September 11, 2020. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination.

As indicated in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, at September 30, 2019, we had $1,108,749 in cash and deferred offering costs of $14,000,000. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Business Combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, will be successful.

~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~

In November 2017, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 10,781,250 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to our independent directors. On October 22, 2018, following the expiration of the unexercised portion of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, our Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares so that the remaining Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders represented 20.0% of the outstanding shares upon completion of our Public Offering.

On September 11, 2018, we consummated our Public Offering of 40,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, including 2,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000. On the IPO Closing Date, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $11.50 per share, to our Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $10,000,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the Deferred Discount, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were $401,100,000, of which $400,000,000 (or $10.00 per share sold in the Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account. The amount of proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account was $1,100,000 at the closing of our Public Offering. Interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to usadequate liquidity to fund our ~~Regulatory Withdrawals, subject to an annual limit of $750,000,~~operations and meet our debt service obligations for ~~a maximum of 24 months and/or additional amount necessary to pay our franchise and income taxes.~~

~~On November 3, 2017,~~ the ~~Sponsor agreed to loan~~foreseeable future. However, we cannot predict the ~~Company an aggregate of $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company in favor~~impact of the ~~Sponsor to cover organizational expenses related to~~COVID-19 pandemic, and the ~~Proposed Offering. On November 3, 2017,~~longer the Company borrowed $150,000 against the Note, and on August 30, 2018, the Company borrowed an additional $150,000. This Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of November 30, 2018 or the completionduration of the ~~Public Offering. These Notes were repaid~~event and the more widespread in ~~full upon~~geographic locations where we and our suppliers operate, the ~~completion~~more likely it is that it could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of ~~the Public Offering.~~

~~As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had~~operations, and/or cash ~~held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $1,108,749 and $856,182, respectively, which is available to fund our working capital requirements. Additionally, interest earned on the funds held~~flows in the ~~Trust Account may be released to us to fund our Regulatory Withdrawals, subject to an annual limit of $750,000,~~future.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for ~~a maximum of 24 months and/or additional amounts necessary to pay our franchise~~using the asset and ~~income taxes.~~

~~At September 30, 2019~~liability method whereby deferred tax assets and ~~December 31, 2018, the Company had current~~ liabilities ~~of $2,470,041 and $687,370 and working capital of ($1,227,177) and $375,661, respectively, largely due to amounts owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who~~ are ~~working on seeking a Business Combination as well as tax liabilities. Such work is continuing after September 30, 2019 and amounts are continuing to accrue.~~

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of Regulatory Withdrawals and taxes payable) to consummate our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of shares of our Common Stock upon completion of a Business Combination. See “Recent Developments – Private Placement Subscription Agreements.” Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to consummate our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in our Trust Account, if any, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategy. Following the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, we do not expect there to be remaining proceeds in our Trust Account.

~~Off-balance sheet financing arrangements~~

We had no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2019. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been establishedrecognized for the ~~purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.~~

We had not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

~~Contractual obligations~~

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities. In connection withfuture tax consequences attributable to differences between the Public Offering, we entered into an administrative services agreement to pay monthly recurring expenses of $20,000 to The Gores Group for office space, utilities and secretarial support. The administrative services agreement terminates upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

The underwriter is entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% ($8,000,000) was paid at the closing of the Public Offering, and 3.5% ($14,000,000) was deferred. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

~~Critical Accounting Policies~~

~~The preparation of~~consolidated financial ~~statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported~~statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, ~~disclosure of contingent assets~~ and ~~liabilities at the date of the financial statements,~~their respective tax bases, and ~~income~~operating loss and ~~expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:~~

~~Offering costs~~

We comply with the requirements of the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) 340‑10‑S99‑1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to our Public Offering and were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of our Public Offering. Accordingly, on the IPO Closing Date, offering costs totaling approximately $22,756,432 (including $22,000,000tax credit carry forwards. PAE accounts for tax contingencies in ~~underwriter’s fees), were charged to stockholders’ equity.~~

~~Redeemable Common Stock~~

All of the 40,000,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in our Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to our charter. In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), redemption provisions not solely within our control require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although we did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, our charter provides that the Company will not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against accumulated deficit.

~~Accordingly, at September 30, 2019, 38,714,829 of the 40,000,000 public shares are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value.~~

~~Net income/(loss) per common share~~

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class F common stock. Net income/(loss) per common share is computed utilizing the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share separately for each class of common stock based on an allocation of undistributed earnings per the rights of each class. At September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income/(loss) per common share is the same as basic net income/(loss) per common share for the period.

740-10- 25, Income ~~taxes~~

Taxes – Recognition (Topic 740). Deferred ~~income~~ tax assets and liabilities are ~~computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on~~measured using enacted tax ~~laws and~~ rates ~~applicable~~expected to apply to taxable income in the ~~periods~~years in which ~~the~~those temporary differences are expected to ~~affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce~~be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market ~~Risk~~

~~Market~~Risks

There have not been any material changes to the Company’s market risk ~~is a broad term for the risk~~since December 31, 2019. For additional information, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of ~~economic loss due to adverse changes~~Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. Our business activities for the Nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted solely of organizational activities and activities relating to our Public Offering and the identification of a target company for our Business Combination. As of September 30, 2019, $407,067,134 (including accrued interest and subject to reduction by the Deferred Discount due at the consummationExhibit 99.2 of the ~~Business Combination) was held in~~Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Trust Account for the purposes of consummating our Business Combination. As of September 30, 2019, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consist of $407,066,731 and in United States Treasury Bills and $403 in cash. As of September 30, 2019, the effective annualized interest rate generated by our investments was approximately 2.27%.

SEC on March 11, 2020.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities during the Nine months ended September 30, 2019. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules ~~13a‑15~~13a-15 and ~~15d‑15~~15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 29, 2020. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules ~~13a‑15(e)~~13a-15(e) and ~~15d‑15(e)~~15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~PART II—OTHER~~ ~~INFORMATION~~

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

~~None.~~

PAE is involved in various legal proceedings, government audits, investigations, claims and disputes that arise in the normal course of business, including those related to employment matters, contractual relationships and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying or unspecified amounts. In addition, awards of government contracts may be protested at the U.S. Government Accountability Office or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims; and conversely, PAE may from time to time protest awards made to other companies.

Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, PAE does not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or operating results. Its view of the matters not specifically disclosed could change in future periods as events unfold.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~Factors~~

For a discussion of risk factors that could ~~cause~~significantly and negatively affect our ~~actual~~business, financial condition, results ~~to differ materially from those in this report are any~~ of operations, cash flows and prospects, see the ~~risks described~~disclosure under the heading "Risk Factors" in our ~~Annual Report~~prospectus on Form ~~10-K~~424B3, filed with the SEC on ~~March 18, 2019. Any~~April 23, 2020, File No. 333-236468 (the “Prospectus”). Except as modified below, there have been no other changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in the Prospectus.

We face various risks related to public health crises, such as the coronavirus (“COVID-19”), that could disrupt PAE’s business and result in loss of ~~these factors~~revenue or higher expenses.

Our operations face risks related to public health crises, such as the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) and other pandemics and epidemics. The COVID-19 virus has spread to over 100 countries, including the United States, and the World Health Organization has classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The ability of our personnel to work effectively and travel and the continued adequacy of our supply chains have been adversely impacted by the pandemic and responses thereto, such as the travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 virus. Additionally, as a result of COVID-19, we have experienced, and expect that we will experience in the future, delays, or partial reductions or full suspensions of contract work, which could result in a ~~significant~~ decrease of revenue and have a material adverse impact on our business. We have experienced increased medical, housing, facility cleaning, and other costs due to quarantine requirements imposed by various jurisdictions and exposure of our personnel to pandemics such as the COVID-19 virus. In addition, the resulting volatility in the global capital markets could, among other things, restrict our access to capital and/or increase our cost of capital. At this time, we cannot predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or the duration of time that the pandemic and its impacts will last, but it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or ~~financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results~~cash flows. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of ~~operations.~~

AsFinancial Condition and Results of

Operations—Current Economic Conditions – Impact of COVID-19” for additional discussion of management’s assessment of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019; however, we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

~~Unregistered Sales~~

On November 3, 2017, our Sponsor purchased 10,781,250 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to our independent directors. On October 22, 2018, following the expiration of the unexercised portion of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, our Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares, so that the remaining Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock following the completion of our Public Offering. Our Public Offering was consummated on September 11, 2018.

Prior to the IPO Closing Date, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds, before expenses, of $10,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Warrants.

~~The sales of the above securities by the Company were exempt from registration in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.~~

~~Use of Proceeds~~

On August 10, 2018, our registration statement on Form S‑1 (File No. 333-226794) was declared effective by the SEC for the Public Offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 40,000,000 Units at an offering price to the public of $10.00 per Unit, including 2,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the Deferred Discount, which amount will be payable upon the consummation of our Business Combination, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were $401,100,000, of which $400,000,000 (or $10.00 per share sold in the Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account in the United States maintained by the trustee.

None.

Through September 30, 2019, we incurred approximately $8,756,432 for costs and expenses related to the Public Offering. At the closing of the Public Offering, we paid a total of $8,000,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, the underwriter agreed to defer $14,000,000 in underwriting commissions, which amount will be payable upon consummation of our Business Combination, if consummated. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Public Offering as described in our final prospectus dated September 7, 2018 which was filed with the SEC.

Our Sponsor, executive officers and directors have agreed, and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, that we will have only 24 months from the IPO Closing Date to complete our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination within such 24‑month period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in our Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

As of September 30, 2019, after giving effect to our Public Offering and our operations subsequent thereto, $407,067,134 was held in the Trust Account, and we had $1,108,749 of unrestricted cash available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable Business Combination, and for general corporate matters.

A summary description of the Employment Agreements is set forth below. The terms of the Employment Agreements are identical, except to the extent indicated below.

Each Employment Agreement sets forth the applicable Executive’s current position and provides for an annual base salary, a target (and maximum) annual performance bonus as a percentage of annual base salary, eligibility to participate in the Company’s equity plan and any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company for the benefit of its employees generally and severance benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of employment, as described in more detail below.

Position; Base Salary; Annual Bonus

Each Employment Agreement includes the Executive’s position, annual base salary, and target (and maximum) annual bonus as a percentage of annual base salary as follows:

•Mr. Heller is employed as our President and Chief Executive Officer with an annual base salary equal to $732,009.12, a target annual bonus equal to 100% of base salary, and a maximum annual bonus equal to 200% of base salary.

•Mr. Peiffer is employed as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer with an annual base salary equal to $537,601.68, a target annual bonus equal to 75% of base salary, and a maximum annual bonus equal to 200% of base salary.

•Mr. Cobb is employed as our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary with an annual base salary equal to $400,545.10, a target annual bonus equal to 75% of base salary and a maximum annual bonus equal to 200% of base salary.

•Ms. Munchel is employed as our Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer with an annual base salary equal to $329,725.00, a target annual bonus equal to 60% of base salary, and a maximum annual bonus equal to 200% of base salary.

•Mr. Anderson is employed as our President, Global Mission Services with an annual base salary equal to $412,000.00, a target annual bonus equal to 75% of base salary and a maximum annual bonus equal to 200% of base salary.

Severance

Severance upon Termination without Cause or for Good Reason

Each Employment Agreement provides for the following payments in the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without “Cause” or if the Executive resigns for “Good Reason,” each as defined in each Employment Agreement, subject to the Executive’s execution of an effective release of claims in favor of the Company: (a) severance equal to the sum of the Executive’s then current annual base salary and the average bonus paid to the Executive for the three fiscal years prior to the year in which the Executive’s termination occurs, payable in equal installments over the 12 month period following the Executive’s termination of employment (the “Severance Period”); (b) a prorated annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, based on actual performance (the “Pro-Rated Bonus”); (c) reimbursement of the Executive’s health insurance premiums during the Severance Period; (d) monthly cash payments (including reimbursement for taxes) to permit the Executive to purchase life insurance coverage at the same benefit level and cost as provided to active senior management employees of the Company during the Severance Period; and (e) reasonable outplacement services for 12 months.

Severance upon Death or Disability

In the event the Executive’s employment terminates as a result of the Executive’s death or disability, the Executive will be entitled to receive the Pro-Rated Bonus.

Other Terms and Provisions

The Employment Agreements include non-competition, non-solicitation of employees and customer restrictions, and other customary restrictive covenants.

The Employment Agreements provide that if any payments or benefits provided to the Executive would constitute excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the payments or benefits will be reduced by the amount required to avoid the excise tax, if such reduction would give the Executive a better after-tax result than if he or she received the full payments and benefits and paid the excise tax.

Term of the Employment Agreements

The initial term of each Employment Agreement is two years, which term will automatically renew for subsequent one-year terms unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current term. If the Company provides notice of non-renewal, the Executive will have the right to terminate his or her employment for Good Reason and receive the severance payments and benefits described above.

The foregoing description of each of the Employment Agreements is hereby qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Employment Agreements, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 under Item 6 of Part II of this Form 10-Q and are incorporated by reference herein.
