Mandatory Warrant Redemption
On January 27, 2021, APi Group Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, as of January 26, 2021, a mandatory redemption event has occurred with respect to all of its outstanding warrants and that each warrant will be mandatorily redeemed by the Company for $0.01 per warrant on February 25, 2021, unless exercised before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 24, 2021. The mandatory redemption event has been triggered because the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days ended January 26, 2021 was equal to or greater than $18.00.
Registered holders of warrants (which may include CREST participants) will have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 24, 2021 to exercise their warrants through the Company’s warrant receiving agent, Computershare. The warrants are exercisable in multiples of three for each share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share of common stock. On or after February 25, 2021, registered holders of warrants will have no further rights with regard to such warrants except the right to receive $0.01 per warrant.
Beneficial holders who desire to exercise their warrants before the mandatory redemption and have either (i) repositioned their warrants to a DTC participant account or (ii) who continue to hold warrants indirectly through a CREST participant account, should immediately contact the brokerage firm or CREST participant holding their warrants, as applicable, to process their exercise if they wish to avoid redemption. Brokers and CREST participants will likely use an earlier deadline for beneficial holders to exercise their warrants than the deadline for registered holders set forth above.
As of the close of business on January 27, 2021, there are 50,229,467 warrants outstanding and 185,134,081 shares of common stock outstanding. If all remaining outstanding warrants are exercised, an additional 16,743,155 shares of common stock will be issued.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company with respect to the announcement of the mandatory redemption of the warrants is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
