On November 13, 2018, Platinum Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) entered into (i) an agreement and plan of merger (the “Target Merger Agreement”) with Topaz Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Holdco Acquiror,” and, together with the Company and Signor Merger Sub (defined below), the “Acquirors”), and Algeco Investments B.V., a Netherlands besloten vennotschap (“Algeco Seller”), pursuant to which the Holdco Acquiror will purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Algeco US Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Target Parent”), the owner of Target Logistics Management, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Target”), from Algeco Seller, and (ii) an agreement and plan of merger (the “Signor Merger Agreement” and, together with the Target Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”), with Signor Merger Sub Inc. (“Signor Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and sister company to Holdco Acquiror, and Arrow Holdings S.a. r.l., a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée (“Arrow Seller” and, together with Algeco Seller, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Holdco Acquiror will purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Arrow Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Signor Parent”), the owner Arrow Bidco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Arrow Bidco”) and owner of RL Signor Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Signor”), from Arrow Seller (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements, the “Business Combination”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Holdco Acquiror will be the sole parent of Arrow Bidco, which will be the sole parent of each of Target and Signor and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”) and the continuing entity following the domestication will be renamed Target Hospitality Corp. (“Target Hospitality”).

The aggregate purchase price for the Business Combination is $1.311 billion (which amount is inclusive of the amounts required to pay third party and intercompany indebtedness at the closing of the Business Combination and net of transaction expenses), of which (A) $562 million will be paid in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and (B) the remaining $749 million will be paid to the Sellers in the form of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Target Hospitality (the “Stock Consideration”), with (i) 25,800,000 such shares delivered to the Algeco Seller pursuant to the Target Merger Agreement and (ii) 49,100,000 such shares delivered to the Arrow Seller pursuant to the Signor Merger Agreement. The Cash Consideration will come from the following sources: (1) proceeds available from the Company’s trust account (“Trust Account”), after giving effect to any and all redemptions; (2) the gross proceeds from new debt financings of at least $340 million (the “Debt Financing”); and (3) at least $80 million of proceeds from private placements of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (the “Equity Offering”) or other equity offerings to fund any shortfall of proceeds from the Trust Account after taking into account the Equity Offering (the “Backstop Offering”). The Cash Consideration payable to the Algeco Seller will be increased to the extent any cash on the balance sheet of the combined business of Target and Signor, after giving effect to the Business Combination, the redemptions from the Trust Account, the proceeds from the Equity Offering and the proceeds from the Backstop Offering, if any, exceeds $5.0 million. In the event the Cash Consideration is increased, the Stock Consideration paid to Algeco Seller will be decreased on a dollar for dollar basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Cash Consideration be less than $562.0 million, but depending upon the amount of redemptions and additional equity raised through the Equity Offering and Backstop Offering, if any, the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration will be adjusted accordingly.

The parties to the Merger Agreements have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreements, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Target Parent and Signor Parent and their respective subsidiaries (the “Acquired Companies”) prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Each of the Acquirors and the Sellers has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Business Combination to be consummated. The Sellers have agreed to indemnify the Acquirors for losses arising from breaches of certain representations made by the Sellers under the Merger Agreements and for certain other liabilities, including environmental liabilities, subject to certain limitations.

The closing of the Business Combination is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things, (i) the Company (or its applicable subsidiaries) receiving gross proceeds of at least $340 million from the Debt Financing, (ii) approval by the Company’s shareholders of the Merger Agreements, the Business Combination and certain other actions related thereto, (iii) the availability of at least $225 million of cash in the Trust Account (and/or from other specified sources, if necessary), after giving effect to redemptions of public shares, if any (the “Minimum Proceeds”) and (iv) the receipt of consent from the existing lenders of Algeco Holding S.a r.l. (“Algeco”) and certain of its affiliates.

The Merger Agreements may be terminated by the applicable Seller and the Acquirors under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by mutual written consent of the applicable Seller and the Acquirors, (ii) by either the applicable Seller or the Acquirors if the closing of the Business Combination has not occurred on or before March 13, 2019, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties, and (iii) by the applicable Seller or the Acquirors if the Company has not obtained the required approval of its shareholders.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Platinum Eagle Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Harry E. Sloan (together with the Sponsor, the “Founders”) will deposit into escrow certain of the Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by them (the “Founder Shares”) pursuant to an earnout agreement (the “Earnout Agreement”) and an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to be entered into at the closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Earnout Agreement, the Founder Shares will be released from escrow to the Founders and/or transferred to Arrow Seller upon the achievement of certain earnout targets. Upon the expiration of the three year earnout period, any Founder Shares remaining in escrow that were not released in accordance with the Earnout Agreement will be transferred to the Company for cancellation. The Company, the Founders, Algeco Seller, Arrow Seller and certain other parties named therein will also enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement providing the parties thereto with certain demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights covering all shares of Target Hospitality common stock owned by each holder.
