2024 Merger Agreement
On March 7, 2024, the Issuer, Apogee Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Apogee Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“2024 Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “2024 Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, 2024 Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “2024 Merger”) on terms substantively consistent with the Revised Proposal as previously described in Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D, with the Issuer surviving the 2024 Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and 2024 Merger Sub were formed by Mr. Kemp and the Supporting Stockholder (collectively, including their respective affiliates, the “Specified Stockholders”).
At the effective time of the 2024 Merger (the “Effective Time”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the 2024 Merger Agreement, each share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Rollover Shares (as defined below)) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $0.50, without interest (the “2024 Merger Consideration”). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all of the Class B Common Stock held by the Specified Stockholders will be converted into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and the resulting shares of Class A Common Stock, together with all of the other shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Specified Stockholders and certain other holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, will be acquired by Parent pursuant to rollover agreements (such shares, the “Rollover Shares”) and shall further be cancelled and cease to exist (the “Rollover”); provided that the Rollover will be permitted only if no shares of Class B Common Stock are issued and outstanding.
Treatment of Convertible Notes and Warrants
In connection with the 2024 Merger Agreement, on March 7, 2024, the holders of all outstanding Convertible Notes, including the Trust, entered into a noteholder conversion agreement with Parent and 2024 Merger Sub, pursuant to which the holders of the Convertible Notes agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, that the Convertible Notes will, immediately after the 2024 Merger becomes effective, be converted into shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Series A Preferred Stock”).
