Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Stockholders Agreement

 

At the Closing, the Company, TRP Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TRP”), Acamar Partners Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and Michael W. Bor (together with TRP and the Sponsor, the “Stockholder Parties”) entered into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) pursuant to which (A) (i) for so long as TRP holds at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, TRP will have the right to nominate two directors for election to the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company, (ii) for so long as the Sponsor, or, in case the Sponsor is dissolved, the individuals identified in Exhibit A to the Stockholders Agreement collectively, holds at least 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, the Sponsor will have the right to nominate two directors to the Board (at least one of whom will be an independent director), (iii) for so long as Michael W.

The term of office of the Class II directors will expire at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2022. The term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2023.

 

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

 

At the Closing, the Company entered into a registration rights and lock-up agreement (the “Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement”) with the Sponsor and certain CarLotz stockholders (the “New Holders” and, collectively with the Sponsor, the “Holders”) requiring the Company to, among other things, file a registration statement to register the resale of certain shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Holders within 45 days after the Closing and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after such initial filing , but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th day (or the 120th day if the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) notifies that it will “review” such registration statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the SEC notified that such registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, TRP, Michael W. Bor and the Sponsor (the “Demanding Holders”) each have two demand rights under which they may demand, at any time and from time to time, that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) to register the securities of the Company held by such Demanding Holder, and each may specify that such demand registration take the form of an underwritten offering pursuant to such registration statement. Once the resale registration statement has been filed and declared effective, the Demanding Holders have unlimited rights to request the Company register an underwritten offering pursuant to such registration statement. Holders will also have “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement provides that the Company will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the Holders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities that may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

 

The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides for the securities of the Company held by certain of the New Holders to, subject to certain exceptions, be locked-up until the earliest of: (i) 180 days from the Closing Date; (ii) the last consecutive trading day where the last reported sale price of the New CarLotz common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date; or (iii) such date on which the Company completes a liquidation merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the rights to exchange their shares of the Company’s common stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

Indemnification Agreements

 

At the Closing, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements provide the directors and executive officers with contractual rights to indemnification and advancement for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of the Company’s directors or executive officers or as a director or executive officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Company’s request.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Stockholders Agreement, the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and the Indemnification Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual terms of the respective documents. Copies of the Stockholders Agreement, the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement and the form of the Indemnification Agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.3, 10.1 and 10.15 hereto, respectively, and each is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The disclosure set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K under “Introductory Note” is incorporated in this Item 2.01 by reference. The material provisions of the Merger Agreement are described in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement on Form 424B3, filed with the SEC on December 30, 2020 (the “Prospectus”), in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 112, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The Merger was approved by Acamar Partners’ stockholders at the Special Meeting of Acamar Partners Stockholders held on January 20, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, 24,746,212 shares of Acamar Partners common stock were voted in favor of the proposal to approve the Merger, 1,200 shares of Acamar Partners common stock voted against that proposal and 5,177 shares of Acamar Partners stock abstained from voting on that proposal.

 

2,493 shares of Acamar Partners Class A common stock were redeemed in connection with the Closing.

 

The aggregate consideration paid in the Merger consisted of (i) $33.0 million in cash paid to CarLotz equityholders; (ii) $37.0 million in cash paid to the holder of CarLotz’ preferred stock as liquidation preference amount and (iii) $680.0 million paid to CarLotz equityholders in newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the “Stock Merger Consideration”). In addition, certain options held by CarLotz’ employees, officers and directors were exchanged for 5,532,881 new options over the Company’s common stock, in a value neutral basis. The Company’s obligations’ under such new options are initially hedged by keeping 5,080,181 shares of the Stock Merger Consideration, equivalent to such new options’ intrinsic value, assuming a price per share of the Company’s common stock of $10.00 and calculated on a net share settled basis, as treasury stock. CarLotz’ stock and option holders may also receive up to 7.5 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock as contingent consideration if certain share price triggers are met.

 

The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued at Closing in connection with the merger was 68,001,365, which was comprised of 62,921,184 shares issued to CarLotz’ stockholders and 5.080,181 shares reserved as treasury stock. Immediately following the Merger, there were 113,615,343 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, warrants to purchase 16,260,084 shares of the Company’s common stock and 5,532,880 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. As of the Closing Date, the former equityholders of CarLotz owned approximately 55.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (excluding shares purchased by such persons in the PIPE Investment (as defined below)), the Subscribers owned approximately 11.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (excluding shares other than the shares purchased by such persons in the PIPE Investment), the Sponsor and Acamar Partners’ former officers, directors and affiliates owned approximately 6.7% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (excluding shares subject to forfeiture and shares purchased by such persons in the PIPE Investment) and the former Acamar Partners stockholders (excluding the Sponsor) owned approximately 26.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

 

PIPE Investment

 

In connection with the Merger, pursuant to subscription agreements dated October 21, 2020 (the “Subscription Agreements”) by and between Acamar Partners and certain strategic and accredited investors (the “Subscribers”), with respect to a private placement of common stock, the Company issued and sold to the Subscribers 12.5 million shares of common stock (the “PIPE Shares”) at a price per share of $10.00 (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment was conditioned on all conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement having been satisfied or waived and other customary closing conditions. The proceeds from the PIPE Investment and the cash from the Acamar Partners trust account (after the payment of certain expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and related transactions and the payment of the cash consideration amounts) will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness.

 

FORM 10 INFORMATION

 

Prior to the Closing, Acamar Partners was a shell company with no operations, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. After the Closing, the Company became a holding company whose only assets consist of equity interests in CarLotz. Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that if the registrant was a shell company, as the Company was immediately before the Merger, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10. Accordingly, the Company is providing below the information that would be included in a Form 10 if it were to file a Form 10. The following information is provided about the business of the Company reflecting the consummation of the Merger, unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires.
