On November 19, 2024, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which the Company will acquire BlueHalo in an all-stock transaction. The Company, Merger Sub, BlueHalo, and BlueHalo Holdings Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and sole member of BlueHalo Financing Topco, LLC (“Seller”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into BlueHalo, with BlueHalo continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving company of the merger (the “Merger” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the equity interests of BlueHalo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Company Common Stock”) equal to 18,548,698 shares (the “Transaction Consideration”), which will represent approximately 39.5% of the fully diluted shares outstanding of the pro forma combined company immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement. The Transaction Consideration is subject to downwards adjustments, which shall be determined prior to the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”), for certain items of leakage, distribution or payment of cash or other property up to the Closing, incurred by BlueHalo and its subsidiaries since June 30, 2024 as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The closing of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions including, among other things, (i) the required approval by the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s stockholders, holders of incentive units and restricted common units of Seller (the “Seller Members”) and Seller, as the sole member of BlueHalo (ii) the accuracy of the respective representations and warranties of each party, subject to certain materiality qualifications, (iii) compliance by the parties with their respective covenants, (iv) the absence of any order that is in effect and restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Merger, (v) the receipt of specified regulatory approvals and the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “Required Regulatory Approvals”) (vi) the shares of Company Common Stock to be issued in the Merger being approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) on Nasdaq as of the Closing, (vii) the Registration Statement (as defined below) having become effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and not being subject to any stop order or proceeding (or threatened proceeding by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) seeking a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement that has not been withdrawn, (viii) delivery of certain closing certificates and executed ancillary agreements, (ix) the absence of any material adverse effect with respect to BlueHalo or the Company, (x) receipt of certain waivers and evidence that a shareholder vote was solicited related to Section 280G of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (xi) receipt by the Company of executed Joinder and Lock-Up Agreements from Seller Members entitled to receive at least 85% of the Transaction Consideration, as adjusted.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company, BlueHalo, and the Seller, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approvals of the stockholders of the Company, the Seller Members and Seller, as the sole member of BlueHalo, indemnification of directors and officers, and the Company’s and Seller and BlueHalo’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement further provides that the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of $200,000,000 to Seller upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including (i) termination by the Company to accept an Alternative Sale Transaction, (ii) termination by Seller due to the occurrence of a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change or (iii) if the Company consummates an Alternative Sale Transaction within 9 months of termination of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Arlington Capital Partners V, L.P. and Arlington Capital Partners VI, L.P., the equityholders of the Key Seller Member (collectively, the “Sponsor Members”) have entered into a shareholder’s agreement (the “Shareholder’s Agreement”) with the Company pursuant to which the Sponsor Members have, among other things, agreed to abide by customary standstill covenants, obligations to vote consistent with the recommendation of the Company Board, and customary employee non-solicit restrictions with respect to the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (including BlueHalo and its subsidiaries after the Closing). The Company has, among other things, agreed to provide the Sponsor Members with certain board designation rights and customary registration rights, including customary demand and piggyback rights. The Sponsor Members will have such designation rights to designate two directors until it and its affiliates cease to collectively hold and own, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock and the Sponsor Members will have such designation rights to designate one director until they and their affiliates cease to collectively hold and own, directly or indirectly, at least 15% but less than 20% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock. The Sponsor Members are expected to beneficially own approximately 26.2% of the Company Common Stock at Closing (assuming no adjustments under the Merger Agreement).

At the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “New Company Board”) is expected to consist of ten members, two of whom may be designated by the Sponsor Members for approval by the stockholders of the Company for appointment to the New Company Board, subject to certain conditions and qualifications as set forth in the Shareholder’s Agreement.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with BofA NA and BofA Securities, Inc. (collectively, “BofA”) and JPM (JPM and BofA, collectively, the “Joint Lead Arrangers”) on November 18, 2024, pursuant to which the Joint Lead Arrangers have committed to amend the Existing Credit Agreement (such amendment, the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to provide a new Term Loan A facility (the “Acquisition Financing Facility”). The initial principal amount of the Acquisition Financing Facility will be $700,000,000, and the Acquisition Financing Facility will have a maturity date of two years from effective date of the Credit Agreement Amendment. The Joint Lead Arrangers expect that the effective date of the Credit Agreement Amendment will be prior to the date of the Closing. The proceeds of the Acquisition Financing Facility will be used to refinance a portion of BlueHalo’s debt and pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions. The definitive documentation governing the Financing has not been finalized, and accordingly, the actual terms may differ from the description of such terms in the Debt Commitment Letter. The consummation of the Transactions is not conditioned upon receipt of the proceeds from the Acquisition Financing Facility or any replacement financing.
