As previously announced, Leo Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Leo”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated April 23, 2020 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Leo, Digital Media Solutions Holdings, LLC (“DMS”), CEP V DMS US Blocker Company, a Delaware corporation (“Blocker Corp”), Prism Data, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Prism”), CEP V-A DMS AIV Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Clairvest Direct Seller”), Clairvest Equity Partners V Limited Partnership, an Ontario, Canada limited partnership (“Blocker Seller 1”), CEP V Co-Investment Limited Partnership, a Manitoba, Canada limited partnership (“Blocker Seller 2” and, together with Blocker Seller 1, “Blocker Sellers” and, together with Prism and Clairvest Direct Seller, the “Sellers”), Clairvest GP Manageco Inc., an Ontario corporation as a Seller Representative, and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Leo Investors Limited Partnership, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Sponsor”). The Company (as defined below) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Current Report”) to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on July 16, 2020 to describe the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Prior to entering into the Business Combination Agreement, Leo entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference, with certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”), including Lion Capital (Guernsey) Bridgeco Limited (“Sponsor PIPE Entity”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors collectively subscribed for 10,424,282 shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock (as defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000, with 7,624,282 of such shares being subscribed for by Sponsor PIPE Entity (the “PIPE Investment”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors are entitled to certain customary registration rights.

On July 15, 2020, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and described in the section of Leo’s final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated June 24, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) titled “BCA Proposal” beginning on page 94 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the following transactions were consummated (the “Closing”):

 

   

pursuant to the Amended and Restated Sponsor Shares and Warrant Surrender Agreement, dated June 22, 2020, between Sponsor, Leo and certain directors and officers of Leo (the “Surrender Agreement”), which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference, Sponsor surrendered and forfeited to Leo 2,000,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Leo (“Class A ordinary shares”) and, together with certain other holders, 1,924,282 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Leo (“Class B ordinary shares”);

 

   

Leo filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation (the “New DMS Certificate of Incorporation”), which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference, and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Leo was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Digital Media Solutions, Inc.” (“New DMS” or the “Company”) (the “Domestication”) (for further details, see the section titled “Domestication Proposal” beginning on page 134 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) and, in connection with the Domestication, the following transactions occurred:

 

   

the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares converted automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New DMS (“New DMS Class A Common Stock”);

 

   

the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares converted automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis without giving effect to any rights of adjustment or other anti-dilution protections, into shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock;

 

   

the issued and outstanding redeemable warrants that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-222599) of Leo became automatically redeemable warrants to acquire shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock;

 

1


   

each issued and outstanding unit of Leo that had not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary share and underlying warrant upon the request of the holder thereof was cancelled and the holder thereof became entitled to one share of New DMS Class A Common Stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant to acquire one share of New DMS Class A Common Stock; and

 

   

the issued and outstanding warrants of Leo to purchase Class A ordinary shares that were issued in a private placement automatically became warrants to acquire shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock;

 

   

New DMS consummated the PIPE Investment;

 

   

New DMS paid $30,000,000 to DMS to be used as cash on the DMS balance sheet;

 

   

New DMS paid $10,000,000 to DMS, which DMS used to pay down outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, dated July 3, 2018, by and among DMS, Digital Media Solutions, LLC, each of its affiliates party thereto, various financial institutions part thereto and Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC, as Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger (the “Credit Facility”);

 

   

New DMS purchased all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Blocker Corp and a portion of the units of DMS held by Prism and Clairvest Direct Seller (which DMS Units were then immediately contributed to the capital of Blocker Corp), in exchange for the following aggregate consideration to the Sellers:

 

   

$57,255,217.33 in cash;

 

   

2,000,000 warrants to purchase New DMS Class A Common Stock (the “Seller Warrants”);

 

   

25,857,070 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New DMS, which represent a voting, non-economic ownership interest in the Company, which, in accordance with the New DMS Certificate of Incorporation, will be retired on a one-for-one basis upon the redemption of any DMS Units (as defined below) held by Prism or Clairvest Direct Seller in accordance with the Amended Partnership Agreement (as defined below) (“New DMS Class B Common Stock”); and

 

   

17,937,954 shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New DMS, which represent a voting, economic ownership interest in the Company and are convertible into shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock in accordance with the New DMS Certificate of Incorporation on a one-to-one basis (the “New DMS Class C Common Stock” and, together with the New DMS Class A Common Stock and the New DMS Class C Common Stock, the “New DMS Common Stock”) (the immediately preceding four bullet points, collectively, the “Business Combination Consideration” and the consummation of such purchases by New DMS, the “Business Combination”).

In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, new bylaws of the Company were approved (the “Bylaws”). A copy of the Bylaws is included as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, 18,456,968 shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock were redeemed in accordance with Leo’s prior constituent documents.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New DMS was organized into an umbrella partnership-C corporation (or “Up-C”) structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of New DMS are held by DMS and continue to operate through the subsidiaries of DMS, and New DMS’s sole material assets are equity interests of DMS indirectly held by it. At the Closing, DMS and its then-current equity holders amended and restated the limited liability company agreement of DMS (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”), which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference, in its entirety to, among other things:

 

   

recapitalize DMS such that, as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, Prism and Clairvest Direct Seller collectively own 25,857,070 of the outstanding membership interests in DMS (“DMS Units”) and Blocker Corp owns 32,293,793 of the outstanding DMS Units; and

 

2


   

provide Clairvest Direct Seller and Prism the right to redeem their DMS Units for cash or, at New DMS’s option, New DMS may acquire such DMS Units (which DMS Units are expected to be contributed to Blocker Corp) in exchange for cash or shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock, in each case subject to certain restrictions set forth therein.

On July 16, 2020, DMS completed its previously announced acquisition of SmarterChaos and She Is Media (the “SmarterChaos/She Is Media Acquisition”). In connection with the SmarterChaos/She Is Media Acquisition, among other things, DMS issued the SmarterChaos and She Is Media sellers a certain number of DMS Units and the SmarterChaos and She Is Media sellers became parties to the Amended Partnership Agreement. The Company did not issue any shares of New DMS Class B Common Stock to the SmarterChaos and She Is Media sellers.

On July 17, 2020, Blocker Sellers exercised their right to convert the shares of New DMS Class C Common Stock issued to them in the Business Combination into shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, in accordance with the New DMS Certificate of Incorporation (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was effective as of immediately prior to the close of business on July 17, 2020.

As of the close of business on July 17, 2020, after giving effect to Conversion, there were (i) 32,293,793 shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock outstanding, (ii) 25,857,070 shares of New DMS Class B Common Stock outstanding, (iii) no shares of New DMS Class C Common Stock outstanding and (iv) 14,000,000 warrants to purchase New DMS Class A Common Stock outstanding.

Business

The information set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Information About DMS” beginning on page 216 is incorporated herein by reference.

The principal executive office of the Company is located at 4800 140th Avenue N., Suite 101, Clearwater, Florida 33762.

Risk Factors

The information set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 39 is incorporated herein by reference.

Selected Consolidated Historical Financial and Other Information

The information set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Selected Historical Financial Information of DMS” beginning on page 33 is incorporated herein by reference.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The information set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “DMS’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 228 is incorporated herein by reference.

Other than the Credit Facility, New DMS does not have any financial instruments that are exposed to significant market risk. Outstanding debt under the Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, or an alternate base rate, plus an agreed upon margin with the Company’s financial institution and matures in full in July 2023. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, approximately $215.5 and $217.2 million, respectively, was outstanding under the Credit Facility.

New DMS does not have any off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts and does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. New DMS maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid money market investments.

A hypothetical 100-basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents securities, or the Company’s earnings on such cash equivalents, but would have an effect on the interest paid on borrowings under the Credit Facility. If the three-month LIBOR increased by 100-basis points, the Company’s annual interest expense would increase by approximately $2.2 million (based on the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020).

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Ownership and Management

The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of New DMS Common Stock as of the close of business on July 17, 2020 by:

 

   

each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of New DMS Common Stock;

 

   

each person who is a director or named executive officer of New DMS; and

 

   

all of New DMS’s executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

Unless otherwise indicated, New DMS believes that all persons named in the table below have or will have as of immediately following the Business Combination, as applicable, sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by them.

Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the following entities or individuals is c/o Digital Media Solutions, Inc., 4800 140th Avenue N., Suite 101, Clearwater, FL 33762.

(2)

Interests shown consist of shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock. owned by Leo Investors Limited Partnership. Leo Investors Limited Partnership is controlled by its general partner, Leo Investors General Partner Limited, which is governed by a three member board of directors. Each director has one vote, and the approval of a majority of the directors is required to approve an action of the Company’s sponsor. Under the so-called “rule of three,” if voting and dispositive decisions regarding an entity’s securities are made by two or more individuals, and a voting and dispositive decision requires the approval of a majority of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a beneficial owner of the entity’s securities. This is the situation with regard to the Company’s sponsor. Based on the foregoing analysis, no individual director of the general partner of Leo Investors Limited Partnership exercises voting or dispositive control over any of the securities held by Leo Investors Limited Partnership, even those in which such director directly holds a pecuniary interest. Accordingly, none of them will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of such shares. The business address of Leo Investors Limited Partnership is 21 Grosvenor Place, London, SW1X 7HF.

(3)

Interests shown consist of shares of New DMS Class A Common Stock acquired by Lion Capital (Guernsey) Bridgeco Limited in the PIPE Investment. The address of the principal business office of Lion Capital (Guernsey) Bridgeco Limited is Trafalgar Court, Les Banques, St Peter Port, Guernsey.

The business address of Prism Data, LLC is 4800 140th Avenue N., Suite 101, Clearwater, FL 33762.

The information set forth in sections (a) and (b) of Item 9.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The description of the Business Combination Consideration set forth in the “Introductory Note” above is incorporated herein by reference. The shares of New DMS Common Stock issued to the Sellers and the PIPE Investors, as applicable, in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, respectively, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder, without any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, Leo has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. As such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, DMS, which have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), will become the historical financial statements of the Company. In a reverse acquisition, a change of accountants is presumed to have occurred unless the same accountant audited the pre-transaction financial statements of both the legal acquirer and the accounting acquirer, and such change is generally presumed to occur on the date the reverse acquisition is completed.

On July 15, 2020, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors approved a resolution appointing E&Y as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, replacing WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), which was dismissed from its role as Leo’s independent registered public accounting firm, in each case, effective as of the filing of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020.

Withum’s report on Leo’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the period from November 29, 2017 (date of inception) through December 31, 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was either report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Additionally, at no point during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 or the period from November 29, 2017 (date of inception) through December 31, 2017 and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report were there any (i) disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report, or (ii) “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

10


The Company has provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and has requested that Withum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein, each as required by applicable SEC rules. A copy of Withum’s letter to the SEC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the period from November 29, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017 and the subsequent interim period through date of this Current Report, Leo did not consult with E&Y regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of the Registrant.

The information set forth in the “Introductory Note” above and in Item 2.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Incentive Plan

On June 24, 2020, the board of directors of Leo approved the Digital Media Solutions, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders on July 14, 2020 and became effective at the Closing. The material terms of the Incentive Plan are described in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Incentive Award Plan Proposal” beginning on page 157, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The above description of the Incentive Plan, including the description in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus referenced above, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Incentive Plan, which is included as Exhibit 10.9 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Transaction Bonuses

In connection with the Business Combination, each of Messrs. Liner, Koubek, Foster and Rudolph entered into a letter agreement with DMS, pursuant to which all individuals waived their respective rights under the Digital Media Solutions, LLC Employee Incentive Plan in exchange for potential equity incentive compensation grants from New DMS and a lump-sum cash payment equal to $2,917, $4,861, $3,889 and $32,917, respectively. The letter agreements for Messrs. Liner and Koubek are filed as Exhibits 10.10 and 10.11 to this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Directors and Executive Officers

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, each executive officer of Leo ceased serving in such capacity, and Robert Bensoussan and Lori Bush ceased serving on Leo’s board of directors.

As of the Closing, (i) Messrs. Marinucci, Borghese, Isenberg and Miller were appointed as directors of the Company, to serve until the end of their respective terms and until their successors are elected and qualified, (ii) Ms. Minnick and Messrs. Darwent and Lea were appointed to serve on the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, with Mr. Darwent serving as the chair and qualifying as an audit committee financial expert, as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and (iii) Ms. Minnick and Messrs. Isenberg and Miller were appointed to serve on the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors, with Ms. Minnick serving as the chair.
