Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On August 21, 2017, Double Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and Williams Scotsman Holdings Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Holdco Acquiror” and, together with the Company, the “Acquirors”), executed a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), with Algeco Scotsman Global S.à r.l. and Algeco Scotsman Holdings KFT. (together, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, the Holdco Acquiror will purchase from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Williams Scotsman International, Inc. (“WSII” and together with its subsidiaries, “Williams Scotsman”) (the “Business Combination”).

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Business Combination is $1.1 billion, of which $1.021 billion will be paid in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and the remaining $79 million will be paid in the form of common stock of the Holdco Acquiror (the “Stock Consideration”) representing a 10% equity interest in the Holdco Acquiror. The Cash Consideration is expected to be funded from (i) debt financing proceeds of at least $490 million from committed secured debt financing of $900 million, (ii) an equity investment by TDR Capital II Holdings L.P. (the “TDR Investor”) in an amount equal to the Closing Date Commitment (as defined below) and (iii) cash in the Company’s trust account of at least $250 million and up to $500 million.

 

The parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Stock Purchase Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Williams Scotsman prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Each of the Acquirors and the Sellers has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Business Combination to be consummated. The Sellers have agreed to indemnify the Acquirors for losses arising from breaches of certain representations made by the Sellers under the Stock Purchase Agreement and for certain other liabilities, including environmental liabilities and those arising from the Carve-Out Transaction (as defined below), subject to certain limitations.

 

The closing of the Business Combination is subject to the Company’s receipt of debt financing and an equity investment in an amount equal to the Closing Date Commitment. The closing of the Business Combination is also subject to certain other conditions, including, among others, approval by the Company’s shareholders of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Business Combination and certain other actions related thereto, the consummation of a restructuring transaction relating to Williams Scotsman pursuant to which certain assets of WSII related to the remote accommodation business in the United States and Canada (Target Logistics) of Algeco Group will be transferred to the Sellers or their affiliates (the “Carve-Out Transaction”), the availability of at least $250 million of cash in the Company’s trust account, that the Company has at least $125 million of cash on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the consummation of the Business Combination, the absence of certain legal impediments and receipt of consent from the existing lenders of the Sellers and certain of their affiliates.

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Sellers and the Acquirors under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by mutual written consent of the Sellers and the Acquirors, (ii) by either the Sellers or the Acquirors if the closing of the Business Combination has not occurred on or before December 19, 2017, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties, and (iii) by the Sellers or the Acquirors if the Company has not obtained the required approval of its shareholders.

 

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Sellers and the Acquirors will enter into an exchange agreement pursuant to which the shares of the Holdco Acquiror issued to the Sellers as the Stock Consideration will be exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company. The Sellers and the Acquirors will enter into a shareholders agreement setting forth certain rights and obligations of the Sellers as minority shareholders of the Holdco Acquiror. In addition, Double Eagle Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Harry E. Sloan (together with the Sponsor, the “Founders”) will deposit into escrow their shares of the capital stock of the Company (the “Founder Shares”) and agree to a lock-up of their warrants that are exchangeable for the capital stock of the Company (the “Founder Warrants”). Pursuant to an earnout agreement to be entered into at the closing of the Business Combination, the Founder Shares and the Founder Warrants will be released from escrow to the Founders and/or transferred to the TDR Investor upon the achievement of certain earnout targets. The Company, the Sellers and the TDR Investor will enter into a registration rights agreement providing for demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to shares of the Company’s capital stock that they may receive pursuant to the TDR Investor’s equity commitment, the earnout agreement or the exchange agreement. The Founders, the TDR Investor and the Company also will enter into a nominating agreement pursuant to which the TDR Investor and the Founders will be granted rights to nominate individuals to the Company’s board of directors based on their respective ownership percentages of the Company’s common stock as set forth therein. The parties will enter into certain other ancillary agreements, including a transition services agreement pursuant to which the Sellers and the Acquirors will provide the other parties with certain transition services following the closing of the Business Combination.

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Williams Scotsman or any other party to the Stock Purchase Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

 

Equity Commitment Letter

 

On August 21, 2017, the Company and the TDR Investor executed an equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which the TDR Investor has provided an equity commitment for the purposes of funding a portion of the Cash Consideration and paying the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, the TDR Investor has committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the Business Combination, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, shares of capital stock of the Company at a cash purchase price of $9.60 per share in an amount necessary to fund the Cash Consideration and the expenses relating to the Business Combination after taking into account the debt financing proceeds and the trust account proceeds that are available to the Company (the “Closing Date Commitment”), which amount shall not exceed $500 million. In addition, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, in connection with certain acquisitions, the TDR Investor has committed to purchase, or cause the purchase of, shares of capital stock of the Company at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share in an amount equal to the difference between $500 million and the amount of the Closing Date Commitment (the “Post-Closing Commitment”), which amount, together with the Closing Date Commitment, shall not exceed $500 million. The obligations of the TDR Investor under the Equity Commitment Letter will expire automatically and immediately upon the earliest to occur of (a) the 12-month anniversary of the Closing (unless extended at the discretion of the TDR Investor), (b) the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms and (c) the funding by the TDR Investor of the Closing Date Commitment and the Post-Closing Commitment. The TDR Investor is an indirect owner of a majority interest in the ultimate parent company of the Sellers.

The proceeds of the borrowings under the ABL Facility and the Bridge Loans will be used, together with the proceeds of the Closing Date Commitment and the cash in the trust account, to finance the Cash Consideration and the costs and the expenses of the Business Combination.
