Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Unit Purchase Agreement

 

On August 12, 2019, Boxwood Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Boxwood”), Atlas TC Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), and Atlas TC Buyer LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), entered into a unit purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Atlas Intermediate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Atlas Intermediate”), and Atlas Technical Consultants Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Seller”), pursuant to which Buyer will acquire from the Seller all of the equity interests in Atlas Intermediate (the “Atlas Intermediate Units”). The acquisition of the Atlas Intermediate Units and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “business combination.” The Seller and its limited partners are collectively referred to herein as the “Continuing Members.”

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”), the Company will contribute cash and shares of newly-created, voting, non-economic Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), to Holdings in exchange for common units of Holdings (the “Holdings Units”). The Seller will transfer to the Buyer (i) a number of Atlas Intermediate Units equal to the product of (a) the number of Atlas Intermediate Units issued and outstanding as of the Closing multiplied by (b) the quotient of (x) the Rolled Unit Value (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) divided by (y) $617 million, in exchange for a corresponding number of Holdings Units, and an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, and (ii) the remainder of the Atlas Intermediate Units, in exchange for cash. Each share of Class B common stock entitles its holder to one vote per share but no right to dividends and distributions.

 

Following the Closing, the combined company will be organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries (“Atlas”) will be held by Holdings and will continue to operate through the subsidiaries of Atlas Intermediate, and in which the Company’s only direct assets will consist of Holdings Units. The Company is expected to own between approximately 43.6% and 74.7% of the Holdings Units and will control Holdings as the sole manager of Holdings in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Holdings to be entered into in connection with the Closing (the “Holdings LLC Agreement”). Upon the Closing, the Company will change its name to “Atlas Technical Consultants, Inc.”

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price to be paid by the Buyer is $617 million, subject to customary adjustments contained in the Purchase Agreement. Of this amount, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer will pay off the existing debt of the Seller which is anticipated to be approximately $160 million, and the Seller will receive aggregate consideration of $457 million, which shall consist of (i) between $260 million and $337 million of cash and (ii)(a) between $120 million and $197 million of Holdings Units, with each such unit valued at $10.00 per unit (subject to adjustment in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) (the “Rollover Units”), and (b) Class B common stock. For each Holdings Unit received by the Seller as consideration, the Company will issue to the Seller one share of Class B common stock. The final amount of cash and the value of the Rollover Units and Class B common stock is dependent on the amount of money remaining in the Company’s trust account following any redemptions of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), and the amount of additional proceeds (if any) raised by the Company through equity financing sources prior to the Closing (the “Available Equity”). For more details on the determination of the mix of cash and equity to be paid to the Seller, see the subsection titled “Debt Commitment Letter” below.

 

Each Rollover Unit received by the Continuing Members, together with one share of Class B common stock, will be exchangeable, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of Class A common stock, or, at the Company’s election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of Class A common stock, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Holdings LLC Agreement.

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

The parties to the Purchase Agreement have made representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this nature. The representations and warranties of the respective parties to the Purchase Agreement will survive the Closing for the times specified in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Conditions to Closing

 

The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things, approval by the Company’s stockholders of the business combination, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of any other necessary permits, approvals, clearances, and consents of, or filings with, any governmental or regulatory authorities being procured or made, as applicable. In addition, the Company’s obligation to consummate the business combination is subject to there being Available Equity of at least $100 million immediately prior to the Closing, and the Seller’s obligation to consummate the business combination is subject to the pro forma debt to equity ratio remaining below the specified threshold and the value of the Rollover Units and Class B Common Stock not exceeding $197 million in the aggregate.

Termination

 

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Seller and in certain other circumstances, including, if the business combination has not been consummated by February 19, 2020 and the delay in closing is not due to the material breach of the Purchase Agreement by the party seeking termination.

The Purchase Agreement has been attached hereto to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Atlas Intermediate or any other party to the Purchase Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures schedules made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Furthermore, to the extent the principal amount of the Term Loan Facilities has been reduced to $270 million, the value of the Rollover Units received by the Seller will be reduced until their value is equal to $120 million, and thereafter the principal amounts of the Term Loan Facilities may be reduced further.
