Business Combinations | 4. Business Combinations Proposed IAA Acquisition On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization which was subsequently amended on January 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which it has agreed to acquire IAA, Inc. (“IAA”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, IAA stockholders will receive $12.80 in cash and 0.5252 shares of the Company for each share of IAA common stock they own. Pursuant to such terms, the Company will (i) issue approximately 70.3 million shares of its common stock to the stockholders of IAA and (ii) pay to the stockholders of IAA approximately $1.7 billion in cash consideration. In addition, the Company will repay approximately $1.2 billion of IAA’s net debt. Certain outstanding equity awards will also be cancelled and exchanged into equivalent outstanding equity awards covering the Company’s common shares based on the equity award exchange ratio. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company’s shareholders will own approximately 59% of the common shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, IAA’s stockholders will own approximately 37%, and Starboard will own approximately 4% (Note 24). The acquisition of IAA is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including, among other things, (1) the approval of the issuance of our common shares by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding common shares, (2) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of IAA’s common stock, and (3) other customary closing conditions. ​ In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter with certain financial institutions that committed to provide, subject to certain terms and conditions, a bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.8 billion and a backstop senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million. On December 9, 2022, the Company subsequently closed an amendment to its existing credit agreement (Note 22) with a syndicate of lenders and obtained commitments for term loan A facility in an aggregate amount of up to $1.8 billion to be used to finance the proposed IAA acquisition. The amendment also allowed the Company to permanently terminate the backstop senior revolving credit commitments and reduce the senior secured bridge facility commitments by the amount of the term loan A facility and the amount of the existing term loans under the existing credit agreement. ​ The Board of Directors of the Company also expects to approve the payment of a one-time special dividend to the Company’s shareholders in the amount of $1.08 per share, contingent upon the completion of the merger and consent of the TSX. IAA stockholders will not be entitled to receive the special dividend with respect to any of the Company’s common shares received as consideration. We will not pay the special dividend if the Merger Agreement is terminated or if the merger is not completed. Furthermore, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, the Company or IAA may be required to pay the other a termination amount of $189.0 million or the Company may be required to reimburse IAA for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement up to an aggregate amount of $5.0 million. ​ VeriTread Acquisition On January 3, 2023, the Company acquired 8,889,766 units of VeriTread, LLC (“VeriTread”), a Florida limited liability company, for approximately $25.0 million from its existing unitholders and acquired another 1,056,338 units through an investment of $3.0 million cash. As a result, the Company increased its investment in VeriTread from 11% to 75%. VeriTread is a transportation technology company that provides an online marketplace solution for open deck transport, connecting shippers and service providers. Also, on January 3, 2023, the Company entered into a put/call agreement with one of the minority unitholders of VeriTread for their remaining units. Pursuant to this agreement, the minority unitholder has rights, in certain circumstances, to put its remaining units of VeriTread to the Company, subject to VeriTread achieving certain performance targets, and the Company has the right to call the remaining units of the minority unitholder upon achievement of certain integration milestones. ​ ​ 4.

During 2022, the Company finalized the net working capital adjustment under the purchase agreement and increased the purchase price by $0.1 million, resulting in a total purchase price of $173.8 million.
