Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition

 

Completion of the Lindblad Mergers

 

On July 8, 2015, Capitol Acquisition Corp. II (“Capitol”), now known as Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc., completed a series of mergers (the “Lindblad Mergers”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 9, 2015, by and among Capitol, Argo Expeditions, LLC, Capitol’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Argo Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Argo Expeditions, LLC, and Lindblad Expeditions, Inc., a New York corporation (“Lindblad”), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of April 30, 2015 and that certain Amendment No. 2 thereto dated as of May 1, 2015. Upon the completion of the Lindblad Mergers, Lindblad became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol. Immediately following the Lindblad Mergers, Capitol changed its name to Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. The post-merger company on a consolidated basis, combining “Capitol” and “Lindblad”, is referred to as the “Company”.

 

Lindblad provides expedition cruising and adventure travel experiences. It provides itineraries that feature up-close encounters with wildlife and nature and promote guest empowerment and interactivity.

 

As consideration for the Lindblad Mergers, the former Lindblad stockholders received an aggregate of (i) $90,000,000 in cash (a portion of which was paid as transaction bonuses) and (ii) 20,017,787 shares of common stock of Capitol. Capitol also assumed outstanding Lindblad stock options and converted such options into options to purchase an aggregate of 3,821,696 shares of common stock of Capitol with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, which was determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement was previously filed as an exhibit to Capitol’s current report on Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2015. Each of Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement were previously filed as an exhibit to Capitol’s current report on Form 8-K filed on May 4, 2015. At the closing of the Lindblad Mergers, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which is described on page 50 of the Definitive Proxy Statement (as defined below) and the description of which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

FORM 10 INFORMATION

 

Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that if the registrant was a shell company, as Capitol was immediately before the Lindblad Mergers, 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 following information is being provided to satisfy such requirements.

 

Business

 

The business of the Company is described in Capitol’s Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 24, 2015 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), in the section entitled “Business of Lindblad” beginning on page 117 and that information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Risk Factors

 

The risks associated with the Company’s business are described in the Definitive Proxy Statement section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business and Operations Following the Merger with Lindblad” beginning on page 29 and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Selected Financial Data

 

Prior to the Lindblad Mergers, Capitol was a blank check company with no operations. Therefore, because Lindblad is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol, we have presented Lindblad’s selected historical financial information as that of the Company.

 

The selected financial data of Lindblad as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement, on page 25, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Prior to the completion of the Lindblad Mergers, Capitol was a blank check company with no operations. Therefore, because Lindblad is now our operating entity, we have presented Lindblad’s management’s discussion and analysis as that of the Company.

 

Lindblad’s management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement, on pages 134 through 147, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Properties

 

The Company’s properties are described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, on page 133 under the caption “Properties”, and on Capitol’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”), in Item 2 and such descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock as of July 8, 2015 by:

•

each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock;

•

each of Company’s executive officers and directors; and

•

all of Company’s executive officers and directors as a group.

The percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 44,717,759 outstanding shares of common stock as of July 8, 2015. Derivative securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock within sixty (60) days of July 8, 2015 are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding securities, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Beneficial ownership representing less than 1% is denoted with an asterisk (*). Unless otherwise indicated, the Company believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.

The extension of the agreements between Lindblad and National Geographic was contingent on the execution by Sven-Olof Lindblad of an option agreement granting National Geographic the right to purchase from Mr. Lindblad, for a per share price of $10.00 per share, five percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Capitol’s common stock as July 8, 2015 including all outstanding options, warrants or other derivative securities (excluding options granted under the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan, 15,600,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and 1,250,000 shares of escrowed common stock, unless such escrowed shares are released from escrow, in which case such shares shall be included in the 5% calculation). Such agreement was entered into on April 27, 2015. The amount of common stock expected to be beneficially owned by National Geographic assumes the exercise of the option by National Geographic and is based on 44,717,759 shares of common stock and 3,821,696 stock options outstanding. The amount beneficially owned includes 375,000 shares contributed to National Geographic for the purpose of the Lindblad Expeditions - National Geographic Joint Fund for Exploration and Conservation and excludes 125,000 shares that will be contributed to National Geographic for the purpose of the Lindblad Expeditions - National Geographic Joint Fund for Exploration and Conservation by the Company’s initial stockholders if the Company’s common stock trades above $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days during any 30-day period within 4 years of consummation of the Lindblad Mergers. The business address of National Geographic is 1145 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20036. Assuming National Geographic exercises its option to acquire shares of Capitol’s common stock, Gary E. Knell will have dispositive and/or voting power with respect to such shares by reason of his status as President and Chief Executive Officer of National Geographic. Mr. Knell disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Capitol’s common stock owned or acquired by National Geographic.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On May 8, 2015, Lindblad entered into a new credit agreement with Credit Suisse A.G. as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (“Credit Agreement”) for a $150.0 million facility, which was subsequently increased by Lindblad’s entry on July 8, 2015 into an amended and restated credit agreement with Credit Suisse A.G. as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to $175.0 million as a result of syndication in June 2015. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $155.0 million U.S. term loan (the “U.S. Term Loan”) for the benefit of Lindblad and its domestic subsidiaries and a $20.0 million Cayman term loan for the benefit of Lindblad’s foreign subsidiaries (the “Cayman Loan,” and together with the U.S. Term Loan, the “Loans”). The gross proceeds from the Loans, net of discounts, fees and expenses, were approximately $165.2 million. The Loans bear interest at a rate based on an adjusted ICE Benchmark Administration LIBO Rate (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a spread of 4.50%.

The U.S. Term Loan and the Cayman Loan both mature on May 8, 2021. The net proceeds from the term loan advances were used to repay Lindblad’s existing debt, fund a portion of the purchase consideration paid in connection with Lindblad’s purchase of the financial and equity interests in Cruise/Ferry Master Fund I, N.V. and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement (i) requires Lindblad to maintain a total net leverage ratio of 4.75 to 1.00 initially, which ratio is reduced by 0.25 on March 31, 2016 with equal reductions annually thereafter until March 31, 2020, when the total net leverage ratio shall be 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter; (ii) limits the amount of indebtedness Lindblad may incur generally and specifically for intercompany debt, debt incurred to finance acquisitions and improvements, for capital and synthetic lease obligations, for standby letters of credit, and in connection with refinancings; (iii) limits the amount Lindblad may spend in connection with certain types of investments; and (iv) requires the delivery of certain periodic financial statements and an operating budget. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company.
