Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The Issuer was formerly incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the BVI on October 1, 2017 for the purpose of acquiring a target company or business. Each of Imperial (an entity controlled by Fascitelli) and TOMS Acquisition II LLC (an entity controlled by Noam Gottesman (“Gottesman”)) (“TOMS Acquisition”) was a founder entity of the Issuer. (Imperial and TOMS Acquisition are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Series A Founder Entities”; and Fascitelli, together with Gottesman, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Series A Founders”.) In connection with the Issuer’s initial placing of ordinary shares of no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”) in November 2017 (the “Placing”), Imperial purchased from the Issuer (i) 1,200,000 Ordinary Shares in the Placing for an aggregate purchase price of $12,000,000 and (ii) 800,000 founder preferred shares of no par value of the Issuer (the “Founder Preferred Shares”) in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000. Each of the Ordinary Shares and Founder Preferred Shares were issued with a warrant (each, a “Warrant”) entitling the holder to purchase 1/3 of an Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole Ordinary Share.
On February 10, 2020 (the “Acquisition Closing Date”), the Issuer completed its initial acquisition by purchasing the APW Group from Associated Partners (the “Acquisition”). In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Founder Preferred Shares and related Warrants were transferred to Digital Landscape Partners Holding LLC (the “Series A Founder Preferred Holder”). Each of the Series A Founder Entities is the holder of 50% of the voting interests and 47.15% of the economic interests in the Series A Founder Preferred Holder (with the remaining non-voting economic interest being held Scott Bruce and Richard Goldstein, the Issuer’s President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively).
In connection with the change of the Issuer’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the BVI to Delaware (the “Domestication”), the Issuer filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”). On October 2, 2020, the Registration Statement was declared effective and the Domestication was completed pursuant to which, among other things, (i) each of the Ordinary Shares and Founder Preferred Shares automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, to Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer, respectively, and (ii) each Warrant became exercisable for 1/3 of a share of Class A Common Stock.
On February 1, 2021, the Series A Founder Preferred Holder was issued 2,474,421 shares of Class A Common Stock by the Issuer (the “Dividend Shares”) as a dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock which the Series A Founder Preferred Holder intends to distribute to its members as promptly as practicable on or following the date hereof (the “Distribution”), including 1,166,624 Dividend Shares to Imperial. The number of Dividend Shares issued was based on the share price appreciation of the Class A Common Stock as described in the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation dated October 2, 2020 (and in Item 6 below) (as amended, the “Charter”).
Mr. Fascitelli has been a director of the Issuer since its inception in October 2017.
