Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 28, 2025, Ranpak Holdings Corp. (“Ranpak” or the “Company”) and Amazon.com, Inc. (“Parent”) entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”), under which, among other things, Ranpak agreed to issue to a wholly-owned affiliate of Parent (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire up to 18,716,456 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $6.8308 per share, and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant.
1,871,646 Warrant Shares vested on the date of the Transaction Agreement. The remainder of the Warrant Shares are subject to vesting over time based on payments made by Parent or on Parent’s behalf under the current and any possible future commercial agreement with the Company, with all Warrant Shares vesting upon an aggregate spend of $400 million.
The Warrant allows for cashless exercise in part or in full at the Warranholder’s discretion and expires January 28, 2033. So long as the Warrant is unexercised, the Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or any other common stockholder rights. The exercise price and the number of Warrant Shares are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Transaction Agreement includes customary registration rights relating to the Warrant Shares.
The Warrant was issued, and the Warrant Shares are expected to be issued, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder. This current report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.
