Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

  

In connection with the Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2019 , as amended by that First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2020 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between Legacy Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy” or the “Company”), and Blue Valor Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (the “Seller”) and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Focus Intelligent Communications Group Ltd. (the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the “Business Combination”), on March 20, 2020, the Seller extended an additional loan under the amended and restated note, dated as of December 17, 2019 (the “Amended Seller Note”) for the principal amount of $879,155.40 (the “Loan Extension”) and Legacy delivered to the Seller a revised Exhibit A to the Amended Seller Note which was updated to reflect the Loan Extension. Following the Loan Extension, the aggregate principal amount under the Amended Seller Note increased to $4,695,777.00. The aggregate principal amount under the Amended Seller Note will bear interest at a rate equal to the 1-month USD LIBOR interest rate, plus 1.5% accruing from the date of the applicable borrowings. The Amended Seller Note amended and restated the note dated October 23, 2019 which was issued by Legacy to the Seller (the “Original Seller Note”). The Original Seller Note was issued in connection with the approval by Legacy’s stockholders of an amendment to Legacy’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) extending the date to which Legacy has to consummate a business combination from November 21, 2019 to December 21, 2019, with an option for Legacy to further extend such date up to five times (each an “Extension”), initially to January 21, 2020 and thereafter by up to four additional 30-day periods ending on May 20, 2020 (the “Extended Date”). The Loan Extension was issued in connection with the Extension of the date by which Legacy has to consummate a business combination from March 21, 2020 to April 20, 2020 (the “Fourth Extension”).

 

Consistent with the Company’s proxy materials relating to the special meeting held on October 22, 2019, following receipt of the proceeds of the Loan Extension, Legacy made a cash contribution (“Contribution”) in respect of the Fourth Extension to the trust account in an amount equal to $0.03 for each share of Class A common stock then outstanding. As of March 20, 2020, there were 29,305,180 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, which equaled an aggregate amount of $879,155.40.

 

Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Seller agreed to loan (each, a “Seller Loan”) to Legacy the amount of the Contributions to be made by Legacy in connection with the Extension Amendment, and for each Extension thereafter; provided, however, that the Seller is not required to make any loan to Legacy with respect to any Extension for the purpose of consummating an initial business combination other than the Business Combination.

 

Following the Fourth Extension, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Amended Seller Note, Seller has loaned to Legacy a total aggregate amount of $4,695,777.00, consisting of: (a) the Loan Extension on March 20, 2020 (which is comprised of $879,155.40 to fund the Company’s Contributions to the trust account as a result of the Fourth Extension), plus (b) $3,816,621.60, the previous aggregate principal amount of the Amended Seller Note (and all accrued interest thereon since the date of the initial Seller Loan).

 

The Seller Loans under the Amended Seller Note will continue to be forgiven by the Seller if the closing of the Business Combination does not occur and the trust account liquidates, except to the extent of any funds that are available to Legacy (i) after such liquidation in accordance with the trust agreement, or (ii) from any other source. The amount of the Seller Loans will be repayable by the Company to the Seller upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Should Legacy elect and/or the Seller request that Legacy further extend the date by which it has to consummate the Business Combination to the Extended Date, Legacy will publicly announce its decision no later than the close of business on April 20, 2020, the last day of the current Extension period. In addition, Legacy will make an additional Contribution of $0.03 per outstanding public share for the final Extension period from April 20, 2020 to the Extended Date. As a result, assuming the current number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, Legacy will make a Contribution in the amount of $879,155.40 to the trust account prior to the beginning of the final Extension period from April 20, 2020 to the Extended Date, which Contribution Legacy intends to borrow from the Seller under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. If, however, the Seller does not request an Extension from April 20, 2020 to the Extended Date and Legacy also determines not to make such an Extension or its board of directors otherwise determines that it will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Date and does not wish to make an Extension to the Extended Date, Legacy’s board of directors would wind up its affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares.

 

A copy of the Amended Seller Note is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements:

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “propose,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “positioned,” “goal,” “conditional” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Legacy’s expected Contributions to the trust account in respect of future Extensions (if any), Legacy’s intention to borrow the funds for any such Contributions from the Seller, and the timing of payment of any such Contributions.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Legacy and other transaction parties following the announcement of the Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Legacy or other conditions to closing in the Share Exchange Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; (5) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the proposed Business Combination; (6) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (7) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the aggregate number of Legacy shares requested to be redeemed by Legacy’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination; (10) the ability of the Blue Impact business to ameliorate or otherwise mitigate its existing material weaknesses and any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or significant deficiencies that may be identified in the future; and (11) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement relating to the proposed Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Legacy’s other filings with the SEC. Legacy cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Legacy cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Legacy does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
