Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 1, 2021, Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary Edge Marketing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Edge Marketing”), completed the acquisition of certain assets (the “Acquisition”), of Crisp Marketing LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Crisp Results”), and Union Health, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Crisp Results (together with Crisp Results, the “Sellers”). The Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Edge Marketing, the Sellers and Justin Ferreira, an individual, as seller representative. The acquired Crisp Results assets enable data-driven digital performance advertising solutions with a focus on the insurance industry, including the Medicare insurance category. The Company paid consideration of $40 million upon closing of the transaction, consisting of $20 million in cash and 1,595,100 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The transaction also includes up to $10 million in contingent consideration to be earned over the next twelve months, subject to the operation of the acquired assets reaching certain milestones, and a $5 million deferred payment. The contingent consideration and the deferred cash payment can each be paid in cash or stock at the election of the Company. The Purchase Agreement provides that a portion of the consideration will be escrowed in respect of the purchase price adjustment mechanism and with respect to certain indemnity obligations described in the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company obtained representations and warranties insurance with respect to certain representations and warranties made by the Sellers in the Purchase Agreement.

Also on April 1, 2021, the Company’s indirect subsidiaries Digital Media Solutions Holdings, LLC (“DMSH LLC”) and Digital Media Solutions, LLC (“DMS LLC”), each of the other affiliates of DMS LLC party thereto, various financial institutions party thereto, and Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC (“Monroe”), as Administrative Agent, entered into Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated July 3, 2018, to add the Acquisition as a Permitted Acquisition (as defined therein).
