Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 27, 2012, JWC Acquisition, Corp. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Contribution and Merger Agreement, (the “Contribution and Merger Agreement”) by and among, the Company, The Tile Shop, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“The Tile Shop”), ILTS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ILTS”), The Tile Shop, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“TS Inc.”), JWTS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“JWTS”) and each of the other members of The Tile Shop (together with TS Inc., JWTS and ILTS, the “Members”), Nabron International Inc., a Bahamas corporation (“Nabron,” and, together with the Members other than ILTS, the “Sellers”), Tile Shop Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TS Holdings”), Tile Shop Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of TS Holdings (“Merger Sub”) and Peter Jacullo, in his capacity as Sellers’ representative (the “Sellers’ Representative”). The transactions contemplated by the Contribution and Merger Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Business Combination”.

 

The Tile Shop is a leading specialty retailer of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States. The Tile Shop sells over 4,000 products from around the world, including ceramic, porcelain, glass, and stainless steel manufactured tiles and marble, granite, quartz, sandstone, travertine and onyx natural tiles, primarily under its proprietary Rush River, Fired Earth and Superior brand names. As of May 31, 2012, The Tile Shop operated 61 stores in 20 states.

 

Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Contribution and Merger Agreement, the Sellers will contribute, directly or indirectly, all of the membership interests in The Tile Shop to TS Holdings in exchange for cash and common stock and promissory notes of TS Holdings, each share of common stock of the Company will be exchanged for one share of TS Holdings common stock, and TS Holdings will hold all of the outstanding equity of The Tile Shop and the Company. After the completion of Business Combination, the current members of The Tile Shop and the current stockholders of the Company will own approximately 67% and 33%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding shares of TS Holdings common stock, assuming that none of the Company’s stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. 

 

The Contribution and Merger Agreement is subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders, in accordance with the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation Law. If approved, the Business Combination is expected to be consummated promptly following the receipt of approval from the Company stockholders and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions. 

 

TS Holdings intends to apply to have its common stock listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “TTS”. The Company’s warrants, which will become exercisable for shares of TS Holdings common stock, will continue to be traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the common stock and units of the Company will cease trading on the OTCBB.

 

The Contribution and Merger Agreement is described in greater detail below. This description of the Contribution and Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. You are urged to read the entire Contribution and Merger Agreement and the other exhibits attached hereto.

 

The Contribution and Merger Agreement

 

Contribution

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution and Merger Agreement, the Sellers (other than Nabron) will contribute their membership interests in The Tile Shop to TS Holdings, constituting all of the membership interests of The Tile Shop other than the membership interests held by ILTS, and Nabron will contribute its membership interests in ILTS to TS Holdings (collectively, the “Contribution”), resulting in The Tile Shop becoming wholly owned by TS Holdings, in exchange for (i) a cash payment of $100,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”), (ii) 29,500,000 shares of TS Holdings common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and (iii) unsecured and subordinated promissory notes issued by TS Holdings in an aggregate principal amount of $80,000,000 less the amount of indebtedness (including capital lease obligations) of The Tile Shop and its subsidiary and cash payments due certain current and former employees under an incentive equity plan of The Tile Shop (the “Promissory Note” and, together with the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration, the “Contribution Consideration”).

 

 
 

 

The Contribution Consideration is subject to the following adjustments at the consummation of the Business Combination:

 

1.If the Company’s stockholders exercise their rights to redeem greater than 1,500,000 shares of TS Holdings common stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in trust account, then at the consummation of the Business Combination (a) the Stock Consideration will be increased by the number of shares of TS Holdings common stock equal to the number of shares that were redeemed in excess of 1,500,000, up to a maximum increase of an additional 2,500,000 shares of TS Holdings common stock and (b) the Cash Consideration will be reduced by the number of each such additional share of Stock Consideration multiplied by $10.

 

2.In the event that certain specified transaction expenses of the Company are less than $3,750,000, then the Stock Consideration will be increased by the number of shares of TS Holdings Common Stock equal to the amount of such deficiency divided by 10.

 

3.In the event that the Company has entered into agreements to purchase a portion of the Company’s public warrants with the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, then (i) the Stock Consideration will be increased by the number of shares equal to the amount paid for such warrants (the “Warrant Purchase Amount”) divided by 10, and (ii) the Cash Consideration will be reduced by an amount equal to the Warrant Purchase Amount.

  

The Promissory Notes will mature three years from the consummation of the Business Combination, be prepayable at any time by TS Holdings without penalty, and have an annual interest rate of 4% payable quarterly. Upon the issuance of senior indebtedness and the use of proceeds from such issuance to repay not less than 50% of the principal amount of the Promissory Notes, the term of the Promissory Notes will extend to 180 days after the term of such senior indebtedness and the interest rate on the Promissory Notes will be increased to 10% per annum. If the Promissory Notes have not been repaid in full within three years after the consummation of the Business Combination, the holders of the Promissory Notes will have the right to convert their pro rata portion of up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of such notes into common stock of TS Holdings at a conversion price of $10 per share.

 

Merger

 

Concurrently with the Contribution, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving, and (i) each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be exchanged for one share of TS Holdings common stock, (ii) each outstanding warrant which is currently exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock will be exercisable for one share of TS Holdings common stock and (iii) each outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub shall be exchanged for one share of the Company with the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of TS Holdings. Prior to the Merger, each outstanding unit of the Company will be separated into its component common stock and warrant, each of which will be treated as described above.

 

 
 

 

Redemption Rights

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the holders of shares of common stock of the Company which were purchased in the Company’s initial public offering may redeem their shares of common stock of the Company upon the consummation of the Business Combination for cash in an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Company’s trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The Company has no specified maximum redemption threshold; however, the consummation of the Business Combination is subject to condition that holders of no more than 5,500,000 shares have exercised their redemption rights. In the event and to the extent that the Company’s stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to greater than 4,000,000 shares, members of JWC Acquisition LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), have agreed to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of TS Holdings common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, in order to fund such redemptions.

 

Representations and Warranties; Limited Indemnification

 

The parties to the Contribution and Merger Agreement have made representations and warranties to each other as of specific dates for the purpose of allocating risk and not for the purpose of establishing facts. In addition, the representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules exchanged by the parties together with the Contribution and Merger Agreement. While the Company does not believe that these schedules contain material information that the securities laws require it to publicly disclose, the disclosure schedules do contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Contribution and Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties should not be relied on as characterizations of the actual state of facts. Other than with respect to each Seller’s representations with respect to ownership of the membership interests in The Tile Shop and with respect to the limited operations of ILTS, none of the representations and warranties set forth in the Contribution and Merger Agreement will survive the closing of the Business Combination and will terminate as of such closing. Moreover, other than with respect to liabilities of ILTS and certain pre-closing tax liabilities, the Sellers are not providing any specific indemnification. 

 

Stockholders’ Meeting

 

The Company has agreed to promptly call a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of voting upon the Contribution and Merger Agreement and will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the approval of the Combination and Merger Agreement by the stockholders of the Company.

 

Registration Statement

 

TS Holdings will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the registration of the shares of TS Holdings to be issued to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the Contribution and Merger Agreement, which registration statement will include a proxy statement/prospectus to be sent to the stockholders of the Company. The Company and TS Holdings are required to use their reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter.

 

 
 

 

Purchase of Warrants

 

The Company has agreed to seek to identify holders of the Company’s public warrants willing to sell their public warrants to the Company and, subject to the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, agree to purchase such warrants upon the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Company enters into any such agreements, the purchase price of such warrants will be funded by a reduction in the amount of consideration payable to the Sellers as described above.

 

Conditions to Completion of the Business Combination

 

Consummation of the Business Combination is subject to customary conditions, including, among others: (i) that the registration statement of TS Holdings on Form S-4, which will include the proxy statement/prospectus, has been declared effective by the SEC, (ii) that the stockholders of the Company having approved and adopted the Contribution and Merger Agreement, (iii) that holders of no more than 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock exercise their redemption rights for cash payment equal to their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, (iv) that holders of no more than 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock exercise appraisal rights in connection with the Merger pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, (v) that all authorizations and permits required to be obtained from applicable government authorities have been obtained and any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott- Rodino Act has expired, (vi) that the shares of TS Holdings common stock shall have been approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and (vii) that there is no governmental order or law that would prohibit or otherwise make the Business Combination illegal.

 

Termination

 

The Contribution and Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain limited circumstances prior to the earlier of the closing of the Business Combination or August 23, 2012 or such later date following which the Company is required to cease all operations and redeem the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Final Date”).

 

 
 

 

If the Contribution and Merger Agreement is terminated, all rights and obligations of the parties thereunder will terminate without any liability of any party or any of their respective affiliates or their directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees, agents or representatives or any of them; provided that such termination if on account of a willful breach of a covenant of a party will not relieve any party then in breach of the covenant contained therein for any liability suffered by any other party or intended third-party beneficiary under the Contribution and Merger Agreement.

 

If the Company does not complete the Business Combination by the Final Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemptions, dissolve and liquidate.

 

Use of Funds in Trust Account
