EXPLANATORY NOTE

On October 10, 2017, GP Investments Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated in January 2015 (“GPIA”), deregistered as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware upon the filing with and acceptance by the Secretary of State of Delaware of the certificate of domestication in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Also on October 10, 2017, Let’s Go Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of GPIA (“Let’s Go”), merged with and into Rimini Street, Inc. (“RSI”), a corporation incorporated in Nevada in September 2005, with RSI surviving the merger (the “first merger”), with the surviving corporation then merging with and into GPIA, with GPIA surviving the merger (the “second merger” and, together with the first merger, the “mergers”). Immediately after consummation of the second merger, GPIA was renamed “Rimini Street, Inc.” (“RMNI”) and as of the open of trading on October 11, 2017, the common stock, warrants and units of RMNI began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market as “RMNI”, “RMNIW” and “RMNIU”, respectively.  This Report is being filed in connection with a series of transactions consummated by the Company and certain related events and actions taken by the Company.

As used in this Report henceforward, unless otherwise stated or the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company”, the “Registrant”, “Rimini Street”, “RMNI”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the parent entity formerly named GP Investments Acquisition Corp., after giving effect to the mergers, and as renamed Rimini Street, Inc.

This Report contains summaries of the material terms of various agreements executed in connection with the transactions described herein.  The summaries of these agreements are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, reference to these agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1.01          ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT 
 
The disclosure set forth in Item 2.01 below relating to the various agreements described therein is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.01          COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Completion of the Business Combination

On May 16, 2017, GPIA, Let’s Go, RSI, and, solely in his capacity as the initial Holder Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the limited purposes set forth therein, the person specified as such in the Merger Agreement (the “Holder Representative”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated June 30, 2017 (“Amendment No. 1”).

On October 10, 2017, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and following the domestication of GPIA as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware on even date, Let’s Go merged with and into RSI, with RSI as the surviving corporation. The surviving corporation from the first merger subsequently merged with and into GPIA on October 10, 2017, with GPIA being the surviving corporation and renamed “Rimini Street, Inc.” immediately after consummation of the second merger. On the effective date of the domestication, each issued and outstanding ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of GPIA prior to its domestication converted automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Shares”), of the Company after its domestication as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware, as renamed “Rimini Street, Inc.”

In connection with the consummation of the business combination, 14,286,064 Company Shares were redeemed by shareholders of GPIA, and an additional 3,600,000 Company Shares were issued in a private placement as described in Item 3.02 under “Sponsor Equity Commitment,” leaving approximately 1,411,212 public Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the merger consideration.

The merger consideration consisted of (i) 48,868,647 newly issued Company Shares in exchange for common shares and certain warrants of RSI, (ii) the conversion of outstanding options for the purchase of shares of common stock of RSI into an aggregate of approximately 13,260,000 newly issued options exercisable at a weighted average price per share of $2.76 for the purchase of Company Shares, and (iii) the conversion of certain outstanding warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock of RSI into an aggregate of 3,440,424 newly issued warrants for the purchase of Company Shares, exercisable at a price per share of $5.64.
 
The table below summarizes the transition from GPIA’s ordinary shares converted to Company Shares as a result of the domestication, along with activity that occurred in connection with the consummation of the mergers, as of the closing date, October 10, 2017:

Holders of GPIA ordinary shares prior to the first merger and holders of shares of RSI common stock prior to the first merger are entitled to certain indemnification rights that survive the consummation of the business combination. A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Report.

For more information about the mergers, including the Merger Agreement and merger consideration, and certain agreements relating to the mergers, including that certain lock-up letter dated as of May 16, 2017 and that certain equity commitment letter dated as of even date, see the section titled “GPIA Business Combination Proposal” in the Original Prospectus and the section titled “Update to Background of the Business Combination” in the Supplement. Further, on October 3, 2017, RSI entered into a Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the financing agreement among RSI, certain lenders listed therein, Cortland Capital Market Services LLC as administrative agent and collateral agent, and CB Agent Services LLC as origination agent for the lenders, and the other parties named therein, dated as of June 24, 2016 (the “Credit Facility”). For more information about the Sixth Amendment, see the section titled “Sixth Amendment to the Credit Facility” in the Supplement. A copy of the Sixth Amendment is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to this Report.

The Company intends to enter into an agreement with RMNI shareholders who are affiliates of Adams Street Partners and GPIC, Ltd. to grant such holders rights of first refusal to purchase their pro rata portion of any new securities that may be issued by the Company for a term of five years.  One of our directors, Robin Murray, is affiliated with Adams Street Partners, and two of our directors, Antonio Bonchristiano and Andrew Fleiss, are affiliated with GPIC, Ltd.

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of RMNI as a result of the domestication. The mergers will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, GPIA is the legal acquirer and RSI is the accounting acquirer and predecessor whereby RMNI’s historical financial statements will reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of RSI, and the net cash proceeds obtained from GPIA in the mergers will be reflected as a capital infusion. Furthermore, the historical capitalization of RSI immediately before the mergers will be adjusted based on the exchange ratio of 0.239412772 Company Shares for every one share of RSI capital stock.

The Original Prospectus and the Supplement included a pro forma presentation consisting of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of June 30, 2017, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  In the pro forma presentation, “Scenario No. 2” in the Original Prospectus as supplemented by the impact of the Sixth Amendment as presented in the Supplement reflect the pro forma financial statements that should be referred to for this filing; the scenario presented in the Original Prospectus as “Scenario No. 1” should be disregarded.

Description of Rimini Street

Given that GPIA was a shell company and based on the accounting for the merger as a reverse recapitalization of RSI as discussed above, this Form 8-K presents various information about RMNI that would be required if RMNI were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, we have provided the information that would be included on Form 10 by incorporating by reference the information contained in the Prospectus, including the following sections as listed below.
5


The business of the Company is described in the Original Prospectus in the section titled “Information About Rimini Street”.

The risk factors related to our business operations are described in the Original Prospectus in the section titled “Risk Factors” and in the Supplement in the section titled “Update to Risk Factors,” which are incorporated herein by reference.

Our financial information is provided in the disclosure contained in the Original Prospectus in the sections titled “Selected Historical Financial Information of Rimini Street,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Rimini Street,” which is incorporated herein by reference, in addition to Item 9.01 below.

Our properties are described in the disclosure in the section titled “Information about Rimini Street—Facilities” in the Original Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure in the section titled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” in the Original Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.

Our directors and executive officers are described in the section titled “Management of RMNI Following the Business Combination” in the Original Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure set forth in the sections titled “Executive Compensation in Relation to Rimini Street” and “Director Compensation of Rimini Street Directors” in the Original Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure set forth in the sections titled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” and “Management of RMNI Following the Business Combination” in the Original Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure set forth in the section titled “Information About Rimini Street—Legal Proceedings” in the Original Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.

As of the open of trading on October 11, 2017, the common stock, warrants and units of RMNI began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market as “RMNI”, “RMNIW” and “RMNIU”, respectively. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock to date. The payment of any cash dividends will be dependent upon the revenue, earnings and financial condition of RMNI from time to time. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of the board of directors of RMNI. It is presently expected that RMNI will retain all earnings for use in the business operations of RMNI and, accordingly, it is not expected that the board of directors of RMNI will declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. The ability of RMNI to declare dividends is limited by restrictive covenants in the Credit Facility and may be limited by the terms of any other financing and other agreements entered into by RMNI or its subsidiaries from time to time.  The disclosure set forth in the section titled “Market Price and Dividend Information” in the Original Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters in Relation to Rimini Street

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.  Consequently, our directors are not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:
 

·              any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
 
·              any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
·              unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or
 
·              any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit.
 
6

 
Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission, or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal.  If the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the DGCL.

In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our directors or officers, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.  Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we may indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our employees or agents, or is or was serving at our request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.  Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to limited exceptions.

Further, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL.  These indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service.  These indemnification agreements also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit, or proceeding.  We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and in indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties.  They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and executive officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders.  Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification provisions.  At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
7


We have obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.

Certain of our non-employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers, be insured and/or indemnified against certain liabilities incurred in their capacity as members of our board of directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

A copy of the form of indemnification agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report.

ITEM 3.02          UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Origination Agent Warrants

The disclosure set forth in Item 2.01 above and in the section titled “GPIA Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Warrant Consent and Conversion Agreement” in the Original Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.  As part of the consideration for the mergers, those certain outstanding warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock of RSI were converted into an aggregate of 3,440,424 newly issued warrants for the purchase of Company Shares.  A copy of the Warrant Consent and Conversion Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report.

Sponsor Equity Commitment


The disclosure set forth in the section titled “GPIA Business Combination Approval—Related Agreements—Equity Commitment” in the Original Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.  As disclosed in the Original Prospectus, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the first merger was conditioned upon, among other things, (i) there being a minimum of $50,000,000 of cash available to GPIA (including the cash in GPIA’s trust account and any cash provided by the Sponsor pursuant to its equity commitment) and (ii) there being a minimum amount of immediately available cash in the trust account of not less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the redemption of GPIA public shares that holders of GPIA public shares validly elected to redeem in connection with the business combination.  Pursuant to the equity commitment letter entered into between GPIA and the Sponsor dated May 16, 2017 (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), the Sponsor would (in certain circumstances) provide backstop equity financing by means of purchasing newly issued GPIA ordinary shares based on a per share issue price of $10.00 in an aggregate amount of up to $35,000,000. Upon the effective date, the non-Sponsor available cash after giving effect to the GPIA ordinary share redemptions discussed in Item 2.01 was less than $15,000,000.  On the effective date, but prior to the closing, the Sponsor purchased in the aggregate 3,600,000 ordinary shares of GPIA in a private placement at an issuance price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $36,000,000. Such Sponsor purchases resulted in the available cash required for consummation of the mergers exceeding $15,000,000, and the total amount purchased exceeded the Sponsor’s maximum equity commitment of $35,000,000, and was in satisfaction of any obligations, under the Equity Commitment Letter.
 
A copy of the Equity Commitment Letter is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Report.

As a result, RMNI issued an aggregate of 388,437 Company Shares to Citigroup and Cowen.  See the Supplement for further information.
