Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase upon exercise one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share or, under certain circumstances described herein, on a cashless basis.
This prospectus also relates to the offer and sale by the selling securityholders identified in this prospectus, or their permitted transferees, from time to time in amounts, at prices and at terms that will be determined at the time of the offering of: (i) up to 7,533,333 private warrants and (ii) 45,835,153 shares of common stock including (a) 34,850,022 shares of common stock currently owned by selling securityholders named herein, (b) 7,533,333 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private warrants and (c) 3,451,798 shares of common stock issuable upon achievement of certain earn out provisions in connection with the Transactions ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Securities”).

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities owned by the selling securityholders, except that upon any exercise of the private warrants, we will receive the exercise price of the private warrants, assuming the private warrants are exercised for cash. The selling securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to their sale of the Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.”

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the selling securityholders of up to 7,533,333 private warrants and 45,835,153 shares of our common stock consisting (i) 34,850,022 shares of common stock currently owned by selling securityholders named herein, (ii) 7,533,333 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private warrants and (iii) 3,451,798 shares of common stock issuable upon achievement of certain earn out provisions in connection with the Transactions.
The securities are being registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2019, entered into by and among Nesco and certain of the selling securityholders in connection with the Transactions. The selling securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Securities set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “selling securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the name of the selling securityholders, the beneficial ownership of Securities held by each selling securityholder, the aggregate amount of Securities that the selling securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus and the number and percentage of Securities that each selling securityholder will beneficially own after this offering assuming they sell all such securities that they may offer pursuant to this prospectus. The percentage of Securities owned by the selling securityholders following the offering of any shares of common stock or warrants pursuant to this prospectus, is based on 49,033,903 shares of common stock and 20,949,980 warrants outstanding as of November 7, 2019. Derivative securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock within sixty (60) days of November 7, 2019 are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding securities, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.
Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on information obtained from such selling securityholder and publicly available information. Information with respect to shares beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all the shares offered and no other purchases or sales of common stock. Information about other selling securityholders, if any, including their identities, the common stock to be registered on their behalf and the amounts to be sold by them, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement.

Material Relationships with the selling securityholders

Agreements Related to Capitol
Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants
In May 2017, Capitol Acquisition Management IV LLC and Capitol Acquisition Founder IV LLC (collectively, the “Capitol Sponsors”) received 10,062,600 Class B ordinary shares of Capitol, convertible into Class A ordinary shares of Capitol for $25,000 in cash in connection with the organization of Capitol. The Capitol Sponsors subsequently transferred to each Capitol Director 50,000 Class B ordinary shares of Capitol in connection with serving as directors of Capitol. In connection with Capitol’s initial public offering, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors committed to purchase an aggregate of 6,533,333 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. In connection with the Transactions, all Class A ordinary shares were converted into shares of common stock of Nesco.
In connection with their acquisition of such shares, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors, along with others, entered into a letter agreement with Capitol pursuant to which they agreed to (i) waive certain redemption rights in connection with the completion of Capitol’s initial business combination, (ii) waive certain redemption rights in connection with a shareholder vote amending Capitol’s constitutional documents or (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if Capitol fails to complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of its initial public offering. The selling securityholders also agreed in such letter to vote their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after this offering in favor of Capitol’s initial business combination.
Capitol Registration Rights Agreement
In addition, in connection with its initial public offering, Capitol entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Capitol Registration Rights Agreement”), dated August 15, 2017, by and among Capitol, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors, among others, with respect to the founder shares and warrants held by such holders, pursuant to which such holders were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights. The Capitol Registration Rights Agreement was terminated in connection with the Transactions.
Convertible Promissory Notes
Since Capitol’s inception, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors made loans from time to Capitol to fund certain capital requirements. The loans were convertible, at the option of the lenders, into warrants of Capitol at a price of $1.50 per warrant on the closing of the Transactions. As of the closing of the Transactions, each of the Capitol Directors had loaned an aggregate of $30,612 to Capitol, Capitol Acquisition Management IV LLC had loaned an aggregate of $938,777 and Capitol Acquisition Founder IV LLC had loaned an aggregate of $469,387.
Agreements Related to the Transactions

Sponsor Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 7, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Transactions occurred, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors, entered into a sponsor support agreement pursuant to which they agreed to comply with the provisions of the Merger Agreement applicable to them and to forfeit a certain number of founder shares and private placement warrants. Each of the Capitol Directors forfeited 11,688 Class B ordinary shares of Capitol and 51,020 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Capitol, Capitol Acquisition Management IV LLC forfeited 1,537,074 Class B ordinary shares of Capitol and 1,564,627 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Capitol, and Capitol Acquisition Founder IV LLC forfeited 7,698,538 Class B ordinary shares of Capitol and 782,313 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Capitol. All remaining ordinary shares were converted into shares of common stock of Nesco at the closing of the Transactions.

Stockholders’ Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Transactions, Nesco, Legacy Nesco Owner, certain affiliates of Energy Capital Partners, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors entered into the Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2019 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), pursuant to which Legacy Nesco Owner (and its successors and assigns) have the right to designate up to four persons to be appointed or nominated for election to the board of directors of Nesco, subject to reduction based on the aggregate ownership of Legacy Nesco Owner and its successors and assigns. Legacy Nesco Owner may also request for at least one of its designated directors to be appointed as a member of each newly established committee of the Nesco board of directors. If Legacy Nesco Owner has the right to designate one or more nominees and either has not exercised such right or no such nominee has not been elected, then Legacy Nesco Owner may designate one board observer. While the Stockholders’ Agreement is in effect, any change in the size of the Nesco board of directors will require the prior approval of Legacy Nesco Owner.

Further, so long as Legacy Nesco Owner holds a number of shares of common stock equal to or greater than 50% of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, Nesco will be required to obtain the approval of Legacy Nesco Owner in order to: (i) adopt any annual budget; (ii) consummate acquisitions or dispositions for value in excess of $10,000,000; (iii) issue new equity; (iv) incur new indebtedness or grant encumbrances on any property or assets in excess of $1,000,000; (v) guarantee any indebtedness of persons other than Nesco or its subsidiaries; or (vi) hire, remove, or replace any senior executive officer or materially decrease the compensation of any executive officer.

Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors have agreed to the sale restrictions on 3,148,202 of the shares of common stock issued to such persons in exchange for their Class B ordinary shares of Capitol upon consummation of the Transactions (with each of the Capitol Directors agreeing to sale restrictions on 15,644 shares of common stock owned by each of them, Capitol Acquisition Management IV LLC agreeing to sale restrictions on 2,060,734 shares of common stock and Capitol Acquisition Founder IV LLC agreeing to sale restrictions on 1,030,367 shares of common stock). In addition, Legacy Nesco Owner, certain affiliates of ECP and the Capitol Sponsors have agreed to a restriction on transfers of their respective shares of Nesco until the 180-day anniversary of the closing of the Transactions, subject to certain permitted transfers.

Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Transactions, certain of the selling securityholders were granted certain rights pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2019 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which rights, for the avoidance of doubt, are separate from and in addition to the registration rights granted to the selling securityholders under the Subscription Agreement pursuant to which the shares of common stock being registered herewith were requested to be registered. Pursuant to such registration rights agreement, the parties thereto are entitled to the registration of, in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions set forth therein, the resale of their shares of common stock of Nesco. The registration rights apply to (i) any common stock of Nesco issued in connection with the Transactions (including certain earnout shares held by the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors), (ii) any warrants of Nesco or any common stock issued or issuable upon exercise thereof, (iii) any capital stock of Nesco or its subsidiary issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above by way of dividend, distribution, split or combination of securities, or any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization (the “registrable securities”). Each of the parties to such registration rights agreement is entitled to request that Nesco register its shares on a long-form or short-form registration statement on up to six occasions in the future, which registrations may be “shelf registrations.” The parties to the registration rights agreement will also be entitled to participate in certain registered offerings by Nesco, subject to certain limitations and restrictions. Nesco will pay expenses of the parties to the registration rights agreement incurred in connection with the exercise of their rights under the agreement. These registration rights are also for the benefit of any subsequent holder of the registrable securities; provided that any securities will cease to be registrable securities when they have been (a) sold or distributed pursuant to a “public offering,” (b) sold in compliance with Rule 144 or (c) repurchased by Nesco or its subsidiary; provided further, however, that the Sponsor Earnout Shares (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) shall not be deemed registrable securities until the restrictions set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement have ceased to apply in accordance with the terms thereof.
Subscription Agreements

On July 22, 2019, Capitol entered into the Subscription Agreements with the Capitol Sponsors, the Capitol Directors and certain affiliates of Legacy Nesco Owner, pursuant to which each of the Capitol Directors, Capitol Acquisition Management IV LLC, Capitol Acquisition Founder IV LLC, ECP III, III-A, III-B, III-C, III-D and Legacy Nesco Owner subscribed to purchase an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of common stock, in connection with the closing of the Transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following summary of our capital stock and our charter and our bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to our charter and bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
General
We are a Delaware corporation. Our charter provides for 250,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. As of November 7, 2019, there were 49,033,903 shares of common stock, no shares of preferred stock and 20,949,980 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock outstanding.
Common Stock
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
Holders of common stock do not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.
The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to those of the holders of any shares of preferred stock we may issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Subject to limitations prescribed by law, the board of directors is authorized at any time to:
issue one or more series of preferred stock;
determine the designation for any series by number, letter or title that shall distinguish the series from any other series of preferred stock; and
determine the number of shares in any series.
determine the terms with respect to the series of preferred stock being offered, which may include (without limitation) the following:
determine whether dividends on that series of preferred stock will be cumulative, noncumulative or partially cumulative;
determine the dividend rate or method for determining the rate;
determine the liquidation preference per share of that series of preferred stock, if any;
determine the conversion provisions applicable to that series of preferred stock, if any;
determine any redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to that series of preferred stock;
determine the voting rights of that series of preferred stock, if any; and
determine the terms of any other powers, preferences or rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, applicable to that series of preferred stock.
The preferred stock, when issued, will be fully paid and nonassessable.
Voting Rights
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise provided by our certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws provide that the presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of shares representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote at a stockholders’ meeting shall constitute a quorum. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to take action, unless otherwise specified by law, our bylaws, our certificate of incorporation or our Stockholders’ Agreement. There are no cumulative voting rights.
Dividend Rights
Each holder of shares of our capital stock is entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property as may be declared by our board of directors from time to time out of our assets or funds legally available for dividends or other distributions. These rights are subject to the preferential rights of the holders of our preferred stock, if any, and any contractual limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends.
Liquidation Rights
If the Company is involved in a consolidation, merger, recapitalization, reorganization, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of affairs, or similar event, each holder of common stock will participate pro rata in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
Warrants
Our warrants are issued under the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2019 between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The following summary of certain provisions relating to our warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement. Each of our outstanding warrants is exercisable for one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, beginning 30 days from the completion of the Transactions, subject to adjustment as discussed below. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the Transactions or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
We may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants that continue to be held by the holders holding such private warrants as of the date of any such redemption), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant,

at any time while the warrants are exercisable;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-day trading period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
The warrants will be forfeited unless exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant.
If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock of the Company underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. In this case, the “fair market value” will mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of our common stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Whether we will exercise our option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of shares of our common stock at the time the warrants are called for redemption, our cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive stock issuances.
The private warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) will not be redeemable by us and may be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial holders or their permitted transferees. The holders of the private warrants agreed to additional transfer restrictions relating to its common stock pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement. Otherwise, the private warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private warrants are held by holders other than the initial holders thereof or their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants. If holders of the private warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they will pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its private warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the private warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. In this case, the “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of exercise.
The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.
The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of our common stock or any voting rights unless and until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their warrants such that an electing warrant holder would not be able to exercise their warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of common stock, we will, upon exercise, follow the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004.
Listing
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NSCO”.
Our warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NSCO WS”.
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation
We have certain anti-takeover provisions in place as follows:
Staggered Board of Directors
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors be classified into three classes of directors of approximately equal size. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings. Furthermore, because the board will be classified, directors may be removed only with cause by a majority of our outstanding shares.
Special Meeting of Stockholders
The DGCL provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called by the board of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our bylaws require that stockholders must comply with certain procedures in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at our annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in our annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before the general meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our general meeting of stockholders.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Exclusive Forum Selection
Our certificate of incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction (such as in the case of claims brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, in which case federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction), the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. This exclusive forum provision applies to state and federal law claims brought by stockholders (including claims pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act), although stockholders will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ organizational documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with claims arising under federal securities laws, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Although we believe this provision benefits our company by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, unless: (1) the board of directors approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (2) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (3) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law. As set forth in our certificate of incorporation, we have opted out of, and are therefore not subject to, Section 203 of the DGCL.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Company for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.
Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. Upon consummation of the Transactions, we will have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify the directors and officers.
These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Stockholders’ Agreement
We are party to the Stockholders’ Agreement pursuant to which Legacy Nesco Owner (and its successors and assigns) have the right to designate up to four persons to be appointed or nominated for election to our board of directors, subject to reduction based on the aggregate ownership of Legacy Nesco Owner and its successors and assigns. Legacy Nesco Owner may also request for at least one of its designated directors to be appointed as a member of each newly established committee of our board of directors. If Legacy Nesco Owner has the right to designate one or more nominees and either has not exercised such right or no such nominee has not been elected, then Legacy Nesco Owner may designate one board observer. While the Stockholders’ Agreement is in effect, any change in the size of the Nesco board of directors will require the prior approval of Legacy Nesco Owner.
Further, so long as Legacy Nesco Owner holds a number of common stock equal to or greater than 50% of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, we will be required to obtain the approval of Legacy Nesco Owner in order to: (i) adopt any annual budget; (ii) consummate acquisitions or dispositions for value in excess of $10,000,000; (iii) issue new equity; (iv) incur new indebtedness or grant encumbrances on any property or assets in excess of $1,000,000; (v) guarantee any indebtedness of persons other than us or our subsidiaries; or (vi) hire, remove, or replace any senior executive officer or materially decrease the compensation of any executive officer.
Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors have agreed to the sale restrictions on 3,148,202 of the shares of common stock issued to them in exchange for their Class B ordinary shares of Capitol upon consummation of the Transactions. In addition, Legacy Nesco Owner, certain affiliates of Energy Capital Partners, the Capitol Sponsors and the Capitol Directors have agreed to a restriction on transfers of their respective shares until the 180-day anniversary of the closing of the Transactions, subject to certain permitted transfers.

Stockholder Registration Rights
We are party to the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the stockholders party thereto were granted certain registration rights Pursuant to such registration rights agreement, the parties thereto are entitled to the registration of, in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions set forth therein, the resale of their shares of our common stock. The registration rights apply to (i) any of our common stock issued in connection with the Transactions, (ii) any of our warrants or any common stock issued or issuable upon exercise thereof, (iii) any of our capital stock or of our subsidiaries issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above by way of dividend, distribution, split or combination of securities, or any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization (the “registrable securities”). Each of the parties to such registration rights agreement is entitled to request that we register its shares on a long-form or short-form registration statement on up to six occasions in the future, which registrations may be “shelf registrations.” The parties to the registration rights agreement will also be entitled to participate in certain of our registered offerings, subject to certain limitations and restrictions. We will pay expenses of the parties to the registration rights agreement incurred in connection with the exercise of their rights under the agreement. These registration rights are also for the benefit of any subsequent holder of the registrable securities; provided that any securities will cease to be registrable securities when they have been (a) sold or distributed pursuant to a “public offering,” (b) sold in compliance with Rule 144 or (c) repurchased by us or our subsidiaries; provided further, however, that the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall not be deemed registrable securities until the restrictions set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement have ceased to apply in accordance with the terms thereof.
In addition, in connection with the private placement investment by certain investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, dated as of July 22, 2019, by and between the Company and each such investor, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares purchased by certain of such investors.

These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
We and the selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the securities covered by this prospectus:
on the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which our securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
one or more underwritten offerings;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
through the distribution of the securities by any selling securityholder to its partners, members or stockholders;
broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and
a combination of any such methods of sale.
The selling securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some of the Securities owned by them and, if the selling securityholders default in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the selling securityholders under this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may transfer Securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our Securities or interests therein, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of our Securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell our Securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge our Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of our Securities will be the purchase price of our Securities less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling securityholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, as applicable, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of our Securities to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by the selling securityholders.
The selling securityholders also may in the future resell a portion of the Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The selling securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of our Securities or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the Securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling securityholders are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, then the selling securityholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the selling securityholders to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the Securities to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
To facilitate the offering of the Securities offered by the selling securityholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our Securities by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
The selling securityholders may use this prospectus in connection with resales of the common stock. The selling securityholders may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act in connection with the Securities they resell and any profits on the sales may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, the selling securityholders will receive all the net proceeds from the resale of the common stock sold by them.
Exercise of the warrants

We are offering the shares of common stock underlying our warrants upon the exercise of the warrants by the holders thereof. The warrants may be exercised upon the surrender of the certificate evidencing such warrant on or before the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, with the subscription form, as set forth in the warrants, duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. Additionally, the warrants (excluding the private warrants that continue to be held by the holders holding such private warrants as of the date of any such redemption) will be required to be exercised on a cashless basis in the event of a redemption of the warrants pursuant to the warrant agreement governing our warrants in which our board of directors has elected to require all holders of the warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In such event, such holder will exercise his, her or its warrants on a cashless basis by paying the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants to be exercised, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. In this case, the “fair market value” will mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of our common stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
The private warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) will not be redeemable by us and may be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial holders or their permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by holders other than the initial holders thereof or their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants. If holders of the private warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they will pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its private warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the private warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. In this case, the “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of exercise.
No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of the warrants. If, upon the exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon the exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to such holder.

Item 15.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and the indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.


II-1



Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Company’s bylaws provide that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that the person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or while serving as a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fee, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. With respect to any such Proceeding initiated by any such indemnified person, the Company will be required to indemnity such person only if the Proceeding was authorized in the specific case by the board of directors of the Company.
The Company entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future.
The Company has purchased and intends to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain inclusions.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 7, 2019 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Transactions were consummated, from and after July 31, 2019 (the “Effective Time”), the Company and Capitol Investment Merger Sub 2, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, are required to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of Nesco Holdings I, Inc. and the Company, and their respective subsidiaries against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, assessment, arbitration, proceeding or investigation, in each case that is by or before any federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or foreign government, government authority, regulatory or administrative agency, governmental commission, department, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, court or tribunal, or arbitrator, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent Nesco, Nesco Holdings I, Inc. or their subsidiaries, as the case may be, would have been permitted under applicable law and its respective certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement to indemnify such person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law). In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause Capitol Investment Merger Sub 2, LLC and its subsidiaries to (i) maintain until July 31, 2025 provisions in their respective certificate of incorporation, certificate formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of such entities’ officers, directors, employees, and agents that are no less favorable that the provisions in such documents applicable as of the date of the Merger Agreement and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of such indemnified persons, except as required by law.
Furthermore, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company is required to maintain until July 31, 2025, effective directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering individuals that were covered by Nesco Holdings I, Inc.’s and its subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of the Merger Agreement, on terms not less favorable than the terms of such existing policies, subject to certain limitations. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the Company purchased a six-year prepaid “tail policy” for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s then existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the effective time of the merger.
The above discussion of Section 145 of the DGCL, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by Section 145 of the DGCL, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws and the Merger Agreement.

Item 17.    Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease


II-3



in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii)
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.


II-4



(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


II-5
