On January 4, 2021, Mariposa was issued 12,447,912 shares of Common Stock by the Issuer (the 2020 Dividend Shares) as a dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock. The number of 2020 Dividend Shares issued was based on the share price appreciation of the Common Stock as described in the Issuers certificate of incorporation. Effective as of January 5, 2021, Mariposa distributed 21,781,245 shares of Common Stock, which included the 2020 Dividend Shares, to its members pursuant to its governing documents, including 9,247,551 shares of Common Stock to MEF Holdings, 4,245,999 shares of Common Stock to IGHA Holdings, 4,245,999 shares of Common Stock to JTOO (of which 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock were subsequently distributed to Lillie) and 583,745 shares of Common Stock to R. Franklin for no consideration (the Distribution).
In connection with the Distribution, M. Franklin entered into an Irrevocable Proxy Agreement on January 5, 2021 (the Proxy Agreement) with each of Ashken, Lillie and R. Franklin pursuant to which each of them granted M. Franklin an irrevocable proxy to vote, for so long as M. Franklin serves as a director on the Issuer Board (the Proxy Term), all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by each of them (i) as of the date of the Proxy Agreement and (ii) that may be acquired after the date of the Proxy Agreement (in each case, to the extent that each of them has the power to vote or direct the vote of such shares of Common Stock). As a result of the Proxy Agreement, the Reporting Persons have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) thereunder. M. Franklin has no pecuniary interest in the shares of Common Stock held by any of the Ashken Reporting Persons, the Lillie Reporting Persons or R. Franklin as a result of the Proxy Agreement. Except as set forth herein, none of the Ashken Reporting Persons, the Lillie Reporting Persons or R. Franklin has beneficial ownership or a pecuniary interest in the shares of Common Stock held by the Franklin Reporting Persons.
The foregoing description of the Proxy Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Proxy Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit E to the Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Lillie has been a director of the Issuer since its inception in September 2017. Mr. Ashken has been a director of the Issuer since October 2019. Mr. R. Franklin has been a Vice President of the Issuer since October 2019.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Paragraphs (a) (c) of the Statement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(a) (b) | As of the date hereof, M. Franklin beneficially owns 22,333,294 shares of Common Stock (which includes Series A Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock within 60 days) consisting of (i) shared power to vote, or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, 13,247,551 shares of Common Stock (which includes 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock within 60 days) controlled or held, directly or indirectly, by one or more of the Franklin Reporting Persons and (ii) sole power to vote, or to direct the vote, of 9,085,743 shares of Common Stock held directly by IGHA Holdings, JTOO, Lillie and R. Franklin (each as further described below). |
Each of M. Franklin, MEF Holdings and Mariposa has shared power to vote, or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 13,247,551, 13,247,551 and 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (which includes Series A Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock within 60 days), respectively. The shares beneficially owned by M. Franklin consist of (i) 13,247,551 shares of Common Stock held directly by MEF Holdings, (ii) 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mariposa that are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the same number of shares of Common Stock, and (iii) 4,255,999, 4,245,999 and 583,745 shares of Common Stock held by the Ashken Reporting Persons, Lillie Reporting Persons and R. Franklin, respectively (which M. Franklin has the sole power to vote pursuant to the Proxy Agreement). In the aggregate, such 22,333,294, 13,247,551, and 9,085,743 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 11.5%, 7.2% and 4.9%, respectively, of all outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock). M. Franklin and MEF Holdings may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in 9,247,551 shares of Common Stock and 1,728,400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
As of the date hereof, (i) the Ashken Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own and have shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 4,255,999 shares of Common Stock, (ii) the Lillie Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own and have (A) shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 3,120,999 shares of Common Stock and (B) sole power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock and (iii) R. Franklin may be deemed to beneficially own and have sole power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 583,745 shares of Common Stock. In the aggregate, such 4,255,999, 3,120,999, 1,125,000 and 583,745 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 2.4%, 1.7%, 0.6% and 0.3%, respectively, of all outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each of IGHA Holdings, JTOO and R. Franklin directly owns 19.2%, 19.2% and 2.0%, respectively of Mariposa, representing a pecuniary interest in 768,000, 768,000 and 80,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(c) | Except as otherwise described herein, no other transactions were effected by the Reporting Persons in the past 60 days. |

IRREVOCABLE PROXY AGREEMENT, dated as of January 5, 2021 (as the same may be amended, this Agreement), among Martin E. Franklin, an individual resident of the State of Florida (Franklin) and each of the undersigned persons named on the signature pages hereto (each, a Subject Party and collectively, the Subject Parties).
WHEREAS, each Subject Party received a distribution of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock) of APi Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange (APi) that included the shares of Common Stock set forth next to its name on Schedule I attached hereto (being referred to collectively as the Subject Shares).
WHEREAS, each Subject Party has agreed to irrevocably grant to and appoint Franklin as proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in their name, place, and stead, to vote all of the Subject Shares at any meeting of the APi stockholders or to otherwise consent to any corporate or stockholder action for so long as Franklin serves as a director on the Board of Directors of APi (the Proxy Term).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
GRANT OF PROXY
Section 1.1. Irrevocable Proxy. Each Subject Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the fullest extent permitted by law (but only for so long as Franklin serves as a director on the Board of Directors of APi (the Proxy Term)), makes, constitutes and appoints Franklin as its sole and exclusive true and lawful attorney-in-fact and proxy, in such Subject Partys name, place and stead, with full power and authority, including, without limitation, of substitution and re-substitution, and to the same effect as such Subject Party can, might or could do under law, to exercise during the Proxy Term (but only during the Proxy Term), in a manner Franklin deems in his sole and absolute discretion appropriate, all voting, consent and similar rights (to the full extent that the Subject Party would be entitled to so vote and exercise them, and including, without limitation, the power to execute and deliver written consents) at every annual, special or adjourned meeting of stockholders of APi and in every written consent in lieu of such a meeting, with respect to the Subject Shares. Upon the execution of this Agreement, any and all prior proxies given by each Subject Party with respect to Subject Shares are hereby revoked and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Subject Party agrees not to grant during the Proxy Term any subsequent proxies with respect to the Subject Shares if and to the extent inconsistent with this Section 1.1.
The proxy granted hereby (a) is irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, (b) shall survive and not be affected by the subsequent death, disability, incapacity, insolvency or bankruptcy of a Subject Party and (c) shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the Proxy Term.
Section 1.2. After-Acquired Shares of Common Stock. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will cover, and apply to the same extent with respect to, any shares of Common Stock that may be distributed to, acquired by or otherwise beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Subject Party after the date hereof (to the extent that such Subject Party has the power to direct the vote of such Subject Shares) and any such after acquired shares of Common Stock shall be considered Subject Shares under this Agreement.
