Item 1.01

Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

On June 27, 2019, Leo Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Leo”), Queso Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Queso”), AP VIII CEC Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Seller”) and Leo Investors Limited Partnership, a Cayman limited partnership (“Sponsor”, and together with Leo, Queso and the Seller, the “Parties”) entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated April 7, 2019 (the “Amended Business Combination Agreement”). The Parties entered into the Amended Business Combination Agreement in connection with the subscriptions for 1,519,500 shares of Leo’s common stock by certain private placement investors (increasing the size of the private placement by $14.2 million to a total of $114.2 million) on June 27, 2019.

A copy of the Amended Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1. and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Amended Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Additional Information

In connection with Leo’s proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”), Leo filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-231110), which includes a preliminary prospectus and preliminary proxy statement. Leo will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its shareholders. Investors and security holders of Leo are advised to read, when available, the proxy statement/prospectus in connection with Leo’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of shareholders to be held to approve the Business Combination (and related matters) because the proxy statement/prospectus will contain important information about the Business Combination and the parties to the Business Combination. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of Leo as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Leo Holdings Corp., 21 Grosvenor Place, London SW1X 7HF.

Participants in the Solicitation

Leo, Queso and their respective directors, executive officers, other members of management, and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Leo’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Business Combination of Leo’s directors and officers in Leo’s filings with the SEC, including Leo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, and such information and names of Queso’s directors and executive officers are also in the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, filed with the SEC, which includes the preliminary proxy statement of Leo for the Business Combination.


Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements made herein are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “may”, “should”, “would”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “seem”, “seek”, “continue”, “future”, “will”, “expect”, “outlook” or other similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding Leo’s industry, future events, the Business Combination, the estimated or anticipated future results and benefits of the combined company following the Business Combination, including the likelihood and ability of the parties to successfully consummate the Business Combination, future opportunities for the combined company, and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current expectations of Leo’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties regarding Leo’s businesses and the Business Combination, and actual results may differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in the business environment in which Leo operates, including inflation and interest rates, and general financial, economic, regulatory and political conditions affecting the industry in which Leo operates; changes in taxes, governmental laws, and regulations; competitive product and pricing activity; difficulties of managing growth profitably; the loss of one or more members of Leo’s management teams; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that the required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination or that the approval of the shareholders of Leo is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, including as a result of a delay in consummating the Business Combination or a delay or difficulty in integrating the businesses of Leo and Queso; uncertainty as to the long-term value of Leo’s ordinary shares; those discussed in Leo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 under the heading “Risk Factors”, as updated from time to time by Leo’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Leo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents of Leo on file with the SEC or in the proxy statement filed with the SEC by Leo. There may be additional risks that Leo presently does not know or that Leo currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements provide Leo’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. Leo anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Leo’s assessments to change. However, while Leo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Leo specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Leo’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication.
