Description of the Business Combination and Related Transaction

 

On October 9, 2022, CF VIII, Merger Sub, BTC International and XBP Europe entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the Closing, Merger Sub merged with and into XBP Europe, with XBP Europe surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CF VIII. As a result of the Merger, (i) each share of capital stock of Merger Sub was automatically converted into an equal number of shares of common stock of XBP Europe, (ii) each share of stock of XBP Europe was cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive a number of shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock equal to (a) the quotient of (1) (A) the sum of $220,000,000 minus (B) the Company Closing Indebtedness (as defined in the Merger Agreement) divided by (2) $10.00 plus (b) 1,330,650, and (iii) CF VIII amended its charter to, among other matters, change its name to XBP Europe Holdings, Inc. The Sponsor agreed that the 537,500 Placement Shares and 135,000 Placement Warrants it holds will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after Closing, and the Sponsor agreed that the 6,228,000 Founder Shares it holds (of which 733,400 were forfeited upon consummation of the Business Combination) will not be sold or transferred until the earlier of the one year anniversary of the initial business combination and the date on which the Combined Entity completes certain material transactions that result in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. Additionally, in accordance with the Ultimate Parent Support Agreement, related party receivable in the amount of $12,148,777 were eliminated at Closing, along with the elimination of related party notes payable in the amount of $11,163,944 and a reduction of related party payables in the amount of $15,796,897, with a corresponding impact to additional paid-in capital. Also, in accordance with the Ultimate Parent Support Agreement, related party payables were further reduced by $4,182,900 in consideration for the issuance of Common Stock to the BTC International Holdings, Inc. (“BTC International”) with a corresponding increase to Common Stock of $418 and additional paid-in capital in the amount of $4,182,482.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein reflects consummation of the Business Combination and 36,658 CF VIII Public Shares remained outstanding upon consummation of the Business Combination (after taking into account the 669,661 CF VIII Public Shares validly tendered for redemption in connection with the Business Combination).

 

CF VIII will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, as further discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 — Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to include Transaction Accounting Adjustments (discussed within the notes below) which reflect the application of the accounting required by GAAP. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments for the Business Combination consist of those necessary to account for the Business Combination. The pro forma adjustments are prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Business Combination, the Forward Purchase Contract and certain other adjustments.

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, CF VIII will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Company will represent a continuation of the financial statements of XBP Europe, with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of XBP Europe issuing stock for the net assets of CF VIII, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CF VIII will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

The determination is primarily based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

BTC International comprising a relative majority of the voting power of the Company;

 

BTC International will have the ability to nominate the majority of the post-Closing board of the Company;

 

Senior management of XBP Europe will comprise the senior management of the Company;

 

Operations of XBP Europe will comprise the ongoing operations of the Company; and

 

XBP Europe is significantly larger than CF VIII in terms of revenue, total assets (excluding cash) and employees.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 combines the historical balance sheet of XBP Europe and the historical balance sheet of CF VIII, on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination, summarized below, had been consummated on September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, combine the historical statements of operations of XBP Europe and the historical statements of operations of CF VIII for such periods, on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2022.

 

The historical audited and unaudited combined financial statements of XBP Europe have been derived from Exela’s historical accounting records and reflect certain allocation of expenses. All of the allocations and estimates in such financial statements are based on assumptions that Exela’s management believes are reasonable. The historical combined financial statements do not necessarily represent the financial position or results of operations of XBP Europe business had it been operated as a standalone company during the periods or at the dates presented.

 

For purposes of the preparation of the pro forma financial information, the per-share redemption price was assumed to be approximately $11.11, based on the Trust Account balance on September 30, 2023 of approximately $7.8 million, which was subject to CF VIII’s right to withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes.

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable given the information that is currently available. However, such adjustments are subject to change.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

 

The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had XBP Europe and CF VIII filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

Note 2 — Transaction Accounting Adjustments

 

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023

(A)Represents the release of the restricted cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions at Closing. After taking into account the redemption of 669,661 shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock validly tendered for redemption by CF VIII Stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, cash and cash equivalents increased by $407,106 with a corresponding decrease to cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account. Further, redeemable shares of Class A Common Stock decreased by $7,628,136 as discussed in adjustment (I) below. Please refer to “Basis of Presentation” above for calculations including actual redemptions.

 

(B)

Represents the issuance of 1,250,000 shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Forward Purchase Contract with the Sponsor in exchange for $10,000,000. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents increased by $10,000,000 with a corresponding increase in CF VIII Class A Common Stock of $125 and $9,999,875 to additional paid-in capital.

 

In conjunction with the Forward Purchase Contract, CF VIII has also issued 250,000 Warrants to purchase shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock, the related liability for which is included within warrant liability as discussed in adjustment (E) below. As a result of the issuance of shares, the liability for the Forward Purchase Contract of $20,050,252 will be reclassified with corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

 

(C)Reflects the settlement of the historical liabilities of CF VIII in the amount of $1,742,927 which were settled at Closing.

 

(D)Represents the repayment of the outstanding $9,906,062 balance on the Sponsor loan – promissory notes with the issuance of shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock. As a result, 990,606 shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock were issued resulting in an increase in CF VIII Class A Common Stock of $990 and additional paid-in capital of $9,905,071.

 

(E)

Represents the reclassification of the public warrant liability to equity. Warrant liability was adjusted for (a) reclass to additional paid-in capital in the amount of $1,562,500 which represents the value of the CF VIII Public Warrants as of September 30, 2023 and (b) recording of the warrant liability of $62,500 for the 250,000 Forward Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share which were purchased pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract (as discussed in adjustment (B)). The Forward Purchase Warrants are liability classified while CF VIII Public Warrants are equity classified. CF VIII Private Warrants in the liability amount of $33,750 have not been adjusted for and remain outstanding.

 

Under Warrant Agreement, dated March 11, 2023, by and between CF VIII and Continent Stock Transfer &Trust Company, upon certain merger or consolidation events and if a majority of the voting interest is obtained by the purchasing parties via a cash purchase, the holders of the public warrants will also receive cash consideration and be entitled to the same treatment as the holders of common stock. Applicable U.S. GAAP provides that if a change in control provision results in delivery of the same form of consideration as holders of the shares underlying the contract, permanent equity classification would not be precluded.

 

(F)This adjustment reflects recapitalization of XBP Europe’s historical equity and issuance of 21,480,431 shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock (based on Company Closing Indebtedness as of November 24, 2023), which excludes 418,290 shares issued at transaction close in accordance with the Ultimate Parent Support Agreement, as described in adjustment (K).

 

(G)Represents the conversion of existing shares of CF VIII Class B Common Stock into shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock resulting in a $125 increase to CF VIII Class A Common Stock and corresponding decrease to CF VIII Class B Common Stock.

 

(H)Represents the elimination of CF VIII’s historical accumulated deficit of $33,335,315.

Please refer to “Basis of Pro Forma Presentation”.

 

(J)Represents elimination, as of the date of the Merger Agreement, of the related party note receivable in the amount of $12,148,777, elimination of related party notes payable in the amount of $11,163,944, and a reduction of related party payables in the amount of $15,796,897 with a corresponding impact to additional paid-in capital and gain on loan forgiveness (as discuss in adjustment (T)), as required by the Ultimate Parent Support Agreement.

(L)Represents the payment of $3,699,712 of transaction costs at Closing in connection with the Business Combination.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the CF VIII Public Warrants were converted to equity classified warrants, and the CF VIII Private Warrants are expected to remain as liability classified.

(S)Represents the net loss per share calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, assuming that the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2022. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the annual period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable related to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented.

The combined financial information has been prepared taking into consideration the actual number of shares of CF VIII Class A Common Stock validly tendered for redemption by CF VIII Stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. The combined financial information also takes into consideration, as of November 29, 2023, the Company Closing Indebtedness and Sponsor loans and out-of-pocket expenses paid at Closing in shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as XBP Europe was in a net loss, giving effect to outstanding warrants was not considered in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2022, as XBP Europe was in a net income in the scenario presented, diluted earnings per share was calculated using the treasury stock method. However, as warrants were considered to be out of the money, no dilutive impact was computed.
