| Item 1.01 | Entry in a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On July 17, 2019, Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “us” or “we”), a Delaware corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into Amendment No. 1 of the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”), dated as of May 10, 2013, by and between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”) that governs all of the Company’s warrants to permit the Company to require that each outstanding warrant be converted into 0.36575 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment, with all warrant holders voting together. Therefore, one of the conditions to the adoption of the Warrant Amendment was the receipt of the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding warrants.
The Company intends to exchange all remaining untendered public warrants for shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on August 1, 2019.
The foregoing description of the Warrant Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 3.03 | Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders. |
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.
| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
As previously disclosed, in connection with the Company’s offer to each holder of the public warrants to receive 0.385 shares of common stock in exchange for each public warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”), the Company solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the public warrants to approve the Warrant Amendment.
The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on July 12, 2019. A total of 9,935,000 warrants, or approximately 98.5% of the 10,085,474 outstanding warrants, were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offer, and were therefore deemed to have consented to the Warrant Amendment. Because consents were received from holders of approximately 98.5% of the warrants, the Warrant Amendment was approved. The Company intends to exchange all remaining untendered public warrants for shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on August 1, 2019.
The Company expects to issue 3,824,959 shares of common stock in exchange for the public warrants tendered in the Exchange Offer, resulting in a total of 57,947 shares of common stock outstanding following such issuance.
On July 17, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation. The Company also announced that it intends to exchange all remaining untendered public warrants for shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on August 1, 2019. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
