AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION | NOTE 2 – AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION The Business Combination Subsequent to March 31, 2016, on April 1, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with USI Senior Holdings, Inc. (“USI Parent”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and North American Direct Investment Holdings, LLC, solely in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative (the “Stockholder Representative”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of USI Parent through a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into USI Parent, with USI Parent surviving such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company USI is a leading provider of installation, construction and distribution services to the residential and commercial construction markets in the United States, with 43 locations serving customers in 13 states. Approximately 78% of USI’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 was derived from sales to the United States residential new construction market. USI operates in two distinct segments: Installation Services and Construction Services. USI’s Installation Services segment primarily installs and distributes fiberglass, cellulose and spray foam insulation and benefits from the sale of additional complementary building products such as windows, doors, mirrors, shower enclosures, closet components, shelving, fireplaces, garage doors and gutters. USI’s Construction Services segment provides planning, logistics, procurement and project management services for all phases of home shell construction. Together, these two segments provide complementary solutions to homebuilders that enable cross selling of installation and construction services. USI is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Business Combination will be accounted for as an acquisition of USI (the accounting acquiree) by the Company (the accounting acquirer) since, immediately following completion of the transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Business Combination will have effective control of USI Holdings, Inc., the post-combination company, through their approximate 78% ownership interest in the combined entity, assuming no share redemptions (approximately 75% in the event of maximum share redemptions), and their ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the post-combination company. Accordingly, the consolidated assets and liabilities of USI need to be revalued to fair value at the acquisition date including the establishment of intangible assets acquired. The foregoing ownership percentages are based on a number of assumptions (as described below) and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value for any asset acquired or liability assumed under GAAP (as defined below), expands disclosures about fair value measurements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in FASB ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants, and as a result, assets may be required to be recorded which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at a fair value measurement that do not reflect management’s intended use for those assets. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. Merger Consideration and Acquisition Financing Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration for the Business Combination is $348.5 million, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement for USI’s cash, indebtedness, working capital and certain unpaid transaction expenses (other than USI’s expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of the Company’s definitive proxy statement relating to the Business Combination (the “Proxy Statement”) and meetings with the Company’s stockholders) and potential increase for certain “permitted acquisitions,” if any, consummated by USI prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Total Merger Consideration”). The Company will pay the Total Merger Consideration partially in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and partially in newly issued shares of its common stock at a value of $10.00 per share (the “Stock Consideration”), as follows: ● The Cash Consideration represents the cash the Company will have available at closing to pay the Total Merger Consideration. The Cash Consideration will equal (i) the Aggregate Cash Amount (as defined below), minus minus minus ● Upon closing of the Business Combination, $30.0 million of the Cash Consideration will be paid to holders of USI Parent preferred stock (in respect of the aggregate liquidation value of their shares of preferred stock), $3.0 million will be deposited into a purchase price adjustment escrow, $1.5 million will be deposited into an account designated by the Stockholder Representative, and the remaining Cash Consideration will be paid to holders of USI Parent common stock (including restricted stock). ● If the amount contained in item (iii) above is greater than the Company estimates, the Cash Consideration will decrease by such amount, and the Stock Consideration will increase by a corresponding amount. Conversely, if the amount contained in item (iii) above is less than the Company estimates, the Cash Consideration will increase by such amount, and the Stock Consideration will decrease by a corresponding amount. ● The Stock Consideration will equal the Total Merger Consideration minus the Cash Consideration, divided by $10.00 per share, and will be approximately 7.06 million shares of the Company’s common stock, assuming (i) the working capital adjustment is zero, (ii) USI does not complete any “permitted acquisitions” prior to the closing of the Business Combination, (iii) USI indebtedness and transaction expenses, taken together, exceed USI’s cash on hand at closing, and (iv) USI will use any excess cash on hand at closing, net of its unpaid transaction expenses, to repay USI’s existing credit facility indebtedness. The Stock Consideration will fluctuate if any of these assumptions proves inaccurate, as follows: ● if there is a working capital adjustment at closing in USI’s favor, USI completes one or more permitted acquisitions prior to the closing of the Business Combination, or USI’s cash on hand at closing exceeds the sum of USI indebtedness and unpaid transaction expenses, the Total Merger Consideration will increase, and the aggregate Stock Consideration will increase by one share of the Company’s common stock for each $10.00 of such increase in Total Merger Consideration; and ● if there is a working capital adjustment at closing in the Company’s favor or if USI’s indebtedness (other than USI’s existing credit facility indebtedness) is greater than the Company estimates, the Total Merger Consideration will decrease, and the aggregate Stock Consideration will decrease by one share of the Company’s common stock for each $10.00 of such decrease in Total Merger Consideration. The Cash Consideration will be funded through a combination of (i) cash held in the Trust Account after the Redemption Offer (as defined below), (ii) the amount raised (expected to be $100.0 million) pursuant to the new $100.0 million senior secured term loan credit facility which the Company expects to enter into at the closing of the Business Combination with GSO Capital Partners LP (the “Debt Financing”), and (iii) the net proceeds, if any, received from the potential sale (at the Company’s option) of up to $35 million of the Company’s convertible preferred stock in a private placement to one or more institutional investors and any other issuance, sale and delivery of the Company’s equity securities pursuant to the Merger Agreement or as otherwise approved by USI Parent (the sum of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein as the “Aggregate Cash Amount”). If the Aggregate Cash Amount (after payment of the Company’s transaction expenses, excluding the commitment and closing fees relating to the Debt Financing and the new $25.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility the Company expects to enter into at the closing of the Business Combination with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “ABL Facility”) and USI’s expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement) is less than $279.599 million at closing of the Business Combination, USI may, at its option, elect to not consummate the Business Combination. Redemption Offer Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be providing its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Company common stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Redemption Offer”). The per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00 at March 31, 2016. Representations and Warranties and Covenants Under the Merger Agreement, USI Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, made customary representations and warranties and covenants for transactions of this nature. Except for certain representations made by USI Parent relating to its capitalization (which survive for a period of one year after the closing of the Business Combination), the representations and warranties made by USI Parent and the Company to each other in the Merger Agreement will not survive the consummation of the Business Combination. Conditions to Consummation of the Business Combination Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”) is subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, including the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the completion of the Redemption Offer in accordance with the Proxy Statement. Each redemption of public shares by the Company’s public stockholders will decrease the amount in the Company’s Trust Account, which holds approximately $199.8 million as of March 31, 2016 In addition, consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to other closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the shares of the Company common stock to be issued as the Company stock consideration having been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, (ii) unless waived by USI, the approval of the proposal to elect three directors to serve as Class I directors on the Company’s board of directors until the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, by stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, (iii) Leo William Varner, Jr. and an additional designee selected by USI, subject to the Company’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), and notified by USI to the Company within 30 days of April 1, 2016, having been approved and duly elected or appointed to the board of directors of the Company, effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, and the Company having offered each of these members the opportunity to enter into an agreement for indemnification (in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Company’s organizational documents), effective as of the closing, (iv) the Debt Financing having been funded pursuant to the debt commitment letters entered into with GSO Capital Partners LP and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (v) the expiration or termination of the regulatory waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and certain other regulatory approvals, if any, (vi) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and USI Parent (subject in certain cases to certain materiality, knowledge and other qualifications) and the performance by the Company and USI Parent in all material respects of their covenants and agreements required to be performed under the Merger Agreement, and (vii) the Company having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) remaining after the closing of the Redemption Offer. In addition, as discussed above, if the Aggregate Cash Amount (after payment of the Company’s transaction expenses, excluding the commitment and closing fees relating to the Debt Financing and the ABL Facility and USI’s expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement) is less than $279.599 million at closing of the Business Combination, USI may, at its option, elect to not consummate the Business Combination. Termination The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to closing, including by either party if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have not been completed by August 12, 2016; provided that the party seeking to terminate shall not have breached in any material respect its obligations in any manner that has proximately caused the failure to consummate the Business Combination. If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, no party thereto will have any liability or any further obligation to any other party under the Merger Agreement, with certain limited exceptions, including liability for any knowing or intentional breach of the Merger Agreement. Registration Rights Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide registration rights to the existing common stockholders of USI Parent in respect of the shares of the Company’s common stock to be received by such stockholders in the Business Combination. Pursuant to such agreement, such parties will hold registration rights that obligate the Company to register for resale under the Securities Act, among other shares, all or any portion of the shares of the Company’s common stock that they acquire in connection with the Business Combination. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination and will use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective no later than 180 days after the closing of the Business Combination, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

In addition, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one legal counsel (which fees and expenses shall not exceed $35,000 in the aggregate) to represent the interests of the participating common stockholders. |
