Each holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.275 shares of Class A Common Stock for each Warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any Warrant Holder that participates in the Offer may tender less than all of its Warrants for exchange.
No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of Class A Common Stock on the NYSE on the last trading day of the Offer Period. The Company’s obligation to complete the Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered Warrants.
Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Consent Warrants”) to amend the Warrant Agreement, which governs all of the Warrants, to permit the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.2475 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (the “Warrant Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the adoption of the Warrant Amendment will require the consent of holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Public Warrants and 50% of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants.
Parties representing approximately 40.56% of the Public Warrants and 100% of the Private Placement Warrants have agreed to tender their Warrants in the Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation pursuant to a tender and support agreement. Accordingly, if holders of an additional approximately 9.44% of the outstanding Public Warrants consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, and the other conditions described herein are satisfied or waived, then the Warrant Amendment will be adopted.
Holders of the Consent Warrants may not consent to the Warrant Amendment without tendering the Consent Warrants in the Offer and holders may not tender such Warrants without consenting to the Warrant Amendment. The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of the Letter of Transmittal and Consent relating to the Warrants, and therefore by tendering Consent Warrants for exchange holders will be delivering to us their consent. Holders may revoke consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) by withdrawing the Consent Warrants holders have tendered in the Offer.
If we do not receive consent to the Warrant Amendment from at least 50% of the holders of the outstanding Consent Warrants, Warrants not exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms, including any such terms permitting the Company to redeem such Warrants prior to their expiration. The Company reserves the right to redeem any of the Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to their current terms at any time, including prior to the completion of the Offer.
THE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION IS NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY U.S. STATE WHERE THE MAKING OF THE OFFER AND THE CONSENT SOLICITATION IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. IF WE BECOME AWARE OF ANY U.S. STATE WHERE THE MAKING OF THE OFFER AND THE CONSENT SOLICITATION OR THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE WARRANTS PURSUANT TO THE OFFER IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW. IF, AFTER SUCH GOOD FAITH EFFORT, WE CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW, THE OFFER AND THE CONSENT SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE MADE TO (NOR WILL TENDERS BE ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF) THE WARRANT HOLDERS.
Please follow the instructions in this document and the related documents, including the accompanying Letter of Transmittal and Consent, to cause your Warrants to be tendered for exchange pursuant to the Offer and, with respect to Consent Warrants, provide consent to the Warrant Amendment.
On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Company will allow the exchange of all Warrants properly tendered before the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn, at an exchange rate of 0.275 shares of Class A Common Stock for each Warrant so tendered.
