Nextracker Follow-on Offering and Spin-off
On February 13, 2023, Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker") completed an initial public offering (the "IPO") of its Class A common stock. Prior to the IPO, the Company maintained an 82.6% indirect ownership in Nextracker and consolidated Nextracker. On July 3, 2023, Nextracker completed a follow-on offering to its IPO and issued 15,631,562 shares of Class A common stock and received net proceeds of $552 million. The entire net proceeds were used by Nextracker to acquire 14,025,000 Nextracker LLC common units from Yuma, Inc., the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and 1,606,562 Nextracker LLC common units from TPG Rise Flash, L.P., an affiliate of the global alternative asset management firm TPG. As a result of the repurchase of Nextracker LLC common units by Nextracker, 15,631,562 shares of Nextracker Class B common stock were cancelled. The Company received approximately $495 million from the follow-on offering, after distribution of net proceeds to TPG and expenses. After the follow-on transaction, Flex held approximately 51.5% of Nextracker's common stock.
In connection with the IPO, Nextracker entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with Flex and TPG wherein 85% of the tax benefits realized in relation to the IPO would be paid to those parties. Flex has not recorded an asset in relation to amounts potentially due to Flex under the TRA as the amounts are contingent upon Nextracker realizing the IPO related tax benefits. As such, amounts will be recognized in income, if and when they are received. Amounts that could be received by Flex, over a 20 year period, range from zero to approximately $300 million. During fiscal year 2025, $13 million was received under the Nextracker TRA.
On January 2, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced spin-off of its remaining interest in Nextracker to Flex shareholders on a pro-rata basis based on the number of ordinary shares of Flex held by each shareholder of Flex (the “Distribution”) as of December 29, 2023, which was the record date of the Distribution, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of February 7, 2023. Under the terms of the Nextracker spin-off, Flex shareholders received approximately 0.17 shares of Nextracker Class A common stock for each Flex ordinary share held as of the record date of the Distribution. Flex shareholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Nextracker spin-off is intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
As a result of the completion of this spin-off, Nextracker became a fully independent public company, Flex no longer directly or indirectly holds any shares of Nextracker common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Nextracker common stock and Flex no longer consolidates Nextracker into its financial results. All noncontrolling interest related to Nextracker have been eliminated through additional paid-in capital. Prior to or in connection with this spin-off, Flex entered into various agreements to effect Nextracker spin-off and provide a framework for the relationship between Flex and Nextracker following the spin-off, including a Separation Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement, as well as agreements governing future trading relationships.
Subsequent to this spin-off, Flex presents Nextracker’s historical operations as discontinued operations and, as such, Nextracker’s historical results have been excluded from continuing operations and unless otherwise indicated Flex’s disclosures are presented on a continuing operations basis.
