Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On April 28, 2022, AFC BDC Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AFC BDC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AFC BDC Warehouse LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BDC Warehouse”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the effective time of the Merger, BDC Warehouse will merge with and into AFC BDC, with AFC BDC continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”). The closing of the Merger occurred immediately following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and became effective at 12:01 p.m. on April 28, 2022 (the “Effective Time”) in accordance with articles of merger filed with the State of Maryland and a certificate of merger filed with the State of Delaware on the date of closing.
Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each limited liability company membership interest of BDC Warehouse issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically converted into a pro rata share (based on such member’s percentage interest in BDC Warehouse, adjusted downward for fractional shares) of an aggregate 5,500,000 shares of AFC BDC common stock issued in the Merger.
The aggregate number of shares of AFC BDC common stock to be issued in the Merger was determined based on (a)(i) the aggregate net asset value of BDC Warehouse determined as of March 31, 2022, plus (ii) capital contributions (if any) received by BDC Warehouse during the period from but excluding March 31, 2022 through the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Adjustment Period”), plus (iii) accrued but unpaid interest and normally recurring fees accrued but not paid, and accretion of original issue discount, during the Adjustment Period, minus (iv) cash distributions, if any, made by BDC Warehouse during the Adjustment Period, plus or minus (v) such adjustment as the parties mutually agree to be reasonable or appropriate in view of any material change during the Adjustment Period to a portfolio company in which BDC Warehouse has invested; and plus or minus (vi) such other adjustment as the parties mutually agree to be reasonable or appropriate in in the circumstances, divided by (b) a per share price of $20.00.
Also at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of BDC Warehouse, AFC BDC, or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers, the shares of common stock owned by the sole stockholder of AFC BDC immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically redeemed and cancelled in exchange for a cash payment from AFC BDC equal to $20.00 per share for an aggregate payment of $1,000.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
