ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On May 15, 2018, Boston Omaha Corporation (the “Company”) completed the subsequent closing of its previously announced sale of Class A common stock, issuing 3,137,768 shares of Class A common stock (the “Subsequent Closing”). The Company received approximately $73,110,000 in gross proceeds from this sale of the Class A common stock in this Subsequent Closing. In an initial closing (the “Initial Closing”), as reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2018, the Company sold 3,300,000 shares of Class A common stock and the Company received $76,890,000 in gross proceeds.
On February 22, 2018 the Company entered into that certain Class A Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and certain purchasers thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and filed the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2018. In connection with the Initial Closing, the Company and the Purchasers also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached as Annex I to the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and the Company granted the Purchasers the right to appoint up to two board observers in a letter agreement in the form attached as Annex II to the Purchase Agreement (the “Board Observer Letter”).
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Board Observer Letter are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the Annexes thereto, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2018 and are incorporated herein by reference.
As part of the negotiations between the Purchasers and a special committee of independent directors of the Company’s Board of Directors, two of the Purchasers which have collectively acquired approximately 80% of the shares of Class A common stock under the Purchase Agreement (the “Restricted Shares”) and the Company have entered into a stockholders’ agreement dated as of May 15, 2018 (the “Stockholders Agreement”) which provides that, without the prior approval of the Company’s independent directors (as defined by NASDAQ), these two Purchasers will not, directly or indirectly, and will cause their affiliates not to, vote the Restricted Shares (or cause the Restricted Shares to be voted) in favor of any transaction that would result in these Purchasers or their affiliates beneficially owning all or substantially all of the common stock of the Company. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement restricts these Purchasers from directly or indirectly (without the approval of the Company’s independent directors) transferring the Restricted Shares to Alex B. Rozek, Adam K. Peterson or their affiliates. These restrictions expire on May 15, 2021 unless otherwise agreed by the Purchasers and the Company’s independent directors.
The foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
