Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On May 18, 2020, Legacy Acquisition Corp. (“Legacy” or the “Company”) convened and then adjourned, without conducting any other business, Legacy’s special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) relating to its previously announced proposed business combination with a wholly-owned holding company (“Blue Impact target”) of Blue Valor Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“Seller”), which will hold a digital-first, intelligent and integrated, global advertising & marketing services group (the “Blue Impact business”). The only proposal submitted for a vote of the stockholders at the Special Meeting was the approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Adjournment Proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2020 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), relating to the business combination.

As of the close of business on March 20, 2020, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 29,305,180 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), 7,500,000 shares of Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class F common stock”, and together with Class A common stock, the “common stock”), outstanding. Each share of common stock was entitled to one vote on the Adjournment Proposal. The shares of Class A common stock and Class F common stock were voted as a single class. A total of 28,936,202 shares of common stock, representing approximately 78.62% of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

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, Legacy’s purposes for the adjournment of the Special Meeting and Legacy’s intention to announce the date and time of the reconvened Special Meeting at a later time.

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; (11) the inability to obtain stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and to implement the Extension; (12) the uncertainties regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Blue Impact business and the completion of the Business Combination; and (13) 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, the Extension Amendment and the Extension 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.

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.
