Item 1.01 Entry in a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 25, 2019, Waitr Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2016 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Amendment amends the Warrant Agreement to provide the Company with the right to require the holders of the Company’s publicly traded warrants (the “public warrants”) to exchange their public warrants for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“common stock”) at an exchange ratio of 0.162 shares of common stock for each public warrant. The Company has the right to require the exchange of not less than all of the public warrants at any time while such public warrants are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the registered holders of the outstanding public warrants at least fifteen days prior to the date of exchange fixed by the Company.

The Company intends to exchange all remaining untendered public warrants for shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on March 12, 2019.

The foregoing description of the Warrant Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed, in connection with the Company’s offer to each holder of the public warrants to receive 0.18 shares of common stock in exchange for each public warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”), the Company solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the public warrants to approve the Warrant Amendment.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 22, 2019. A total of 24,769,192 public warrants, or approximately 99.1% of the 25,000,000 outstanding public warrants, were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, including 119,892 public warrants that were tendered through a notice of guaranteed delivery, and were therefore deemed to have consented to the Warrant Amendment. Because consents were received from holders of more than 65% of the public warrants, the Warrant Amendment was approved. The Company intends to exchange all remaining untendered public warrants for shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on March 12, 2019.

The Company expects to issue 4,458,438 shares of common stock in exchange for the public warrants tendered in the Offer, resulting in a total of 69,578,745 shares of common stock outstanding following such issuance.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 25, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offer and the Consent Solicitation. The Company also announced that it intends to exchange all remaining untendered public warrants for shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as amended, on March 12, 2019.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
