Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 8, 2022, Hub Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Exchange and Repurchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with entities affiliated with David P. Yaeger, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer (collectively, the “DPY Entities”), and entities affiliated with Mark A. Yaeger (collectively, the “MAY Entities”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the MAY Entities transferred 243,755 shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), to the DPY Entities (the “Class B Exchange Shares”) in exchange for (i) an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) plus (ii) 98,973 shares of Class A Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to $8,000,000 (based on the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of the Agreement (the “Closing Price”) (collectively, the “Class A Exchange Shares” and, together with the Class B Exchange Shares, the “Exchange Shares”) (such transfer of the Class B Exchange Shares in exchange for the Class A Exchange Shares is referred to herein as the “Exchange”). Immediately after the consummation of the Exchange, the MAY Entities sold to the Company (i) all of the Class A Exchange Shares and (ii) 87,393 shares of Class B Common Stock, which automatically converted into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement (defined below), representing all of the remaining shares of Class B Common Stock owned by such entities, for an aggregate purchase price of $34,766,693, representing a price per share equal to the Closing Price (the “Repurchase” and, together with the Exchange, the “Transaction”).
The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties.
On May 23, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the purchase of up to $100 million of Class A Common Stock pursuant to a share repurchase program (the “Program”). Under the Program, shares may be repurchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Approximately $75 million of capacity remained available under the Program before giving effect to the Repurchase. The Repurchase was effected pursuant to the Program and reduced availability thereunder. In connection with the Repurchase, the Board approved an amendment to increase capacity under the Program so that $75 million shares of Class A Common Stock remain authorized for repurchase.
The Transaction was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board pursuant to the Company’s Related Person Transaction Policy approval procedures.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the MAY Entities and DPY Entities agreed to terminate (i) the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2014 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), and (ii) the Class B Common Stock Issuance Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2014. The DPY Entities also agreed to amend and restate a Stockholders’ Agreement by and among such parties (the “DPY Stockholders’ Agreement”). The DPY Stockholders Agreement requires, among other things, that the DPY Entities agree to vote all of their Class B Common Stock in accordance with the vote of the holders of a majority of such Class B Common Stock and that the Class B stockholders will hold a meeting prior to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to determine how the Class B Common Stock will be voted on matters presented at the Annual Meeting.
The forgoing descriptions of the Agreement and the DPY Stockholders’ Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
