Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Purchase Agreement
On April 1, 2024, AlTi Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, AlTi Global Wealth Management Holdings Limited, a UK private limited company (“Purchaser”), East End Advisors, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“EEA”), EEA Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, David Salomon, Richard Salomon, Peter Nadosy and Brian Clifford. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding membership interests of EEA for an initial purchase price of approximately $76 million upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Additional contingent consideration is payable to Seller each year over a five-year period in such amounts as calculated in accordance with an EBITDA-based formula. Such consideration is payable in cash and a portion may be paid in Class A Common Stock of the Company at the discretion of Purchaser.
In the event the closing does not occur by July 31, 2024, due to the Company not having sufficient financing to consummate the transaction and Seller has not previously terminated the Purchase Agreement, the Company must pay to Seller a reverse financing fee of $5,000,000, payable in Class A Common Stock of the Company.
The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, which are backstopped by a representations and warranties insurance policy, as well as customary closing conditions.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
On April 1, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the acquisition of EEA. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and, with the exception of the commentary of Mr. Michael Tiedemann, Mr. David Salomon and Mr. Andrew Douglass, is incorporated by reference herein.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibits hereto are for informational purposes only and are not intended to and shall not constitute a proxy statement or the solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities and are not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for any securities or a solicitation of any vote of approval, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
