Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 12, 2020, Churchill Capital Corp III (“Churchill”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Churchill, Music Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Churchill (“First Merger Sub”), Music Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Churchill (“Second Merger Sub”), Polaris Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Polaris Investment Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Holdings”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto will enter into a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) by which, (i) First Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving corporation in the merger (the “First Merger”) and (ii) Second Merger Sub will merge with and into the surviving corporation with Second Merger Sub being the surviving entity in the merger (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, being collectively referred to as the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).

 

The proposed Business Combination is expected to be consummated after the required approval by the stockholders of Churchill and the satisfaction of certain other conditions summarized below.

 

Merger Agreement

 

Closing Merger Consideration

 

The aggregate consideration to be paid to Holdings will be equal to $5,678,000,000 (the “Closing Merger Consideration”) and will be paid in a combination of stock and cash consideration. The cash consideration will be an amount equal to (i) (x) all amounts in Churchill’s trust account (after reduction for the aggregate amount of payments required to be made in connection with any valid stockholder redemptions), plus (y) the aggregate amount of cash that has been funded to and remains with Churchill pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the closing (such amounts in clauses (x) and (y), the “Available Closing Acquiror Cash”), minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 8.500% / 9.250% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2022 (excluding any accrued and unpaid interest or applicable premium thereunder) (such amount, the “Closing Cash Consideration); provided, that in no event will the Closing Cash Consideration be greater than $1,521,000,000. If the closing occurs when less than all of the Convertible PIPE Investment (as defined below) has been funded to Churchill and the Closing Cash Consideration as otherwise determined in accordance with the definition thereof would be less than $1,521,000,000, then (other than in specified circumstances), the Closing Cash Consideration will be increased, notwithstanding such calculation to $1,521,000,000. The remainder of the Closing Merger Consideration will be paid in shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Churchill (the “Class A Common Stock”) in an amount equal to $10.00 per share (the “Closing Share Consideration”).

 

At the effective time of the First Merger, the shares of Class A common stock of the Company will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, in the aggregate, the Closing Share Consideration. At the effective time of the First Merger, the shares of Class B common stock of the Company will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, in the aggregate, the Closing Cash Consideration.

  (i) by mutual written consent of Churchill and the Company;

 

  (ii) by either Churchill or the Company if the transactions are not consummated on or before January 28, 2021 (the “Termination Date”), but Churchill’s right to terminate will be automatically extended if any action for specific performance or other equitable relief is filed by Holdings or the Company with respect to the Merger Agreement, the other transaction agreements specified in the Merger Agreement or otherwise regarding the Transactions is commenced or pending on or prior to the Termination Date, provided that the terminating party’s failure to fulfill any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement is not the primary cause of the failure of the closing to occur by such date;

  (v) by either Churchill or the Company if, at the Special Meeting, the Transactions and the other Acquiror Stockholder Matters shall fail to be approved by holders of Churchill’s outstanding shares, provided that Churchill’s right to terminate for failure to obtain such approval shall not be available if, at the time of such termination, Acquiror is in breach of certain of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, including with respect to the preparation, filing and mailing of the proxy statement and convening the Special Meeting.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company and Holdings entered into voting and support agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) with certain Churchill stockholders pursuant to which such stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Transactions and the other Acquiror Stockholder Matters. Under the Voting Agreements, when taken together with the Churchill Sponsor’s agreement to vote in favor of the Transactions and the other Acquiror Stockholder Matters, approximately 41% of the outstanding common stock of Churchill has agreed to vote in favor of the Transactions and the other Acquiror Stockholder Matters. The Voting Agreements terminate upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

Certain of the Voting Agreements and Non-Redemption Agreements permit the stockholders party thereto to transfer the shares of Class A Common Stock held by such stockholder at any time following the date that the closing price of the shares of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share, as adjusted for certain events, for any 15 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period commencing on the date the preliminary Proxy Statement with the respect to the Transactions is filed.

There is an original issue discount (“OID”) of 1% for subscriptions of equal to or less than $250,000,000 and an OID of 2.5% for subscriptions of more than $250,000,000. The closing of the Common PIPE Investment is conditioned on all conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement having been satisfied or waived and other customary closing conditions, and the Transactions will be consummated immediately following the closing of the Common PIPE Investment. The Common Subscription Agreements will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties thereto.

Holders may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of Class A Common Stock based on a $13.00 conversion price, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Churchill may redeem the Convertible Notes after the third anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, subject to a holder’s prior right to convert, if the trading price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price 20 out of the preceding 30 trading days. There will be customary registration rights with respect to the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. Subject to the condition that the Convertible PIPE Investment is funded in full on the Closing Date, the Convertible Notes will be guaranteed by a subsidiary of the Company. The Convertible Notes are being issued with an OID of 2.5%. The proceeds of the PIPE Investment will be used to fund a portion of the amount necessary to consummate the Transactions, including the repayment of certain specified debt of a subsidiary of the Company. The counterparty to one of the Convertible Subscription Agreements is an affiliate of a director of Churchill and such Convertible Subscription Agreement has been approved by Churchill’s audit committee and board of directors in accordance with Churchill’s related persons transaction policy.
