Share Contribution and Exchange Agreement
NOTE 12 Share Contribution and Exchange Agreement

The Exchange

On January 5, 2018, the Corporation (“Skyline” or the “Company”) and Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion Holdings”) entered into a Share Contribution & Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the two companies will combine their operations.

 

Under the Exchange Agreement, (i) Champion Holdings will contribute to Skyline all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Champion Holdings’ wholly-owned operating subsidiaries through the contribution of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of Champion Home Builders, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CHB”), and CHB International B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (“CIBV”) (the shares of stock of CHB and CIBV to be contributed to Skyline, the “Contributed Shares”), and (ii) in exchange for the Contributed Shares, Skyline will issue to Champion Holdings that number of shares of Skyline common stock, $0.0277 par value per share, such that at the closing, Champion Holdings (or its members) will hold 84.5%, and Skyline’s shareholders will hold 15.5%, of the common stock of the combined company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Shares Issuance”). The contribution of the Contributed Shares by Champion Holdings to Skyline, and the Shares Issuance by Skyline to Champion Holdings, are collectively referred to herein as the “Exchange.” In connection with the closing of the Exchange, Skyline will file the Company Charter Amendment (described below) and will change its name to “Skyline Champion Corporation.”

Immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange, Skyline will amend and restate its articles of incorporation to provide for, among other things, (i) the change in the name of the Company as described above; (ii) an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 15,000,000 to 115,000,000 shares; (iii) a provision stating that the number of directors shall be as specified in the Company’s bylaws; and (iv) certain other ministerial revisions to update and modernize the articles of incorporation and remove various extraneous provisions (collectively, the “Company Charter Amendment”).

The Exchange is expected to close as soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the closing in the Exchange Agreement, which is currently expected to be in the first half of 2018.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

Each of Skyline and Champion Holdings makes customary representations and warranties in the Exchange Agreement. Skyline also has agreed to various covenants in the Exchange Agreement, including, without limitation, to cause a special meeting of Skyline’s shareholders to be held as promptly as practicable to consider and approve the Company Charter Amendment and the Shares Issuance (the “Company Shareholder Approval Matters”), and to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to such special meeting.

The Exchange Agreement contains customary covenants governing the conduct of Skyline’s and Champion Holdings’ respective businesses, access to information pertaining to the parties’ businesses, and notification of certain events, among other things, between the date of the Exchange Agreement and the closing.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Skyline is subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions which restrict its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to and engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, prior to receiving approval of the Company Shareholder Approval Matters by Skyline’s shareholders, Skyline may, under certain circumstances, provide information to and participate in discussions with third parties with respect to certain unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals as provided in the Exchange Agreement.

The Exchange Agreement provides that, prior to the closing of the Exchange, Skyline may declare and pay a special cash dividend to its shareholders in the aggregate amount of Skyline’s “net cash” (generally defined in the Exchange Agreement as Skyline’s aggregate cash and cash equivalents, less the aggregate amount of Skyline’s indebtedness and debt-like items, and less Skyline’s aggregate transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Exchange, each as determined as of the close of business on the last business day immediately prior to the date Skyline gives notice of the special dividend to the NYSE American), if any. If declared, Skyline must pay the special dividend at least one business day prior to the closing date.

Closing Conditions

Consummation of the Exchange is subject to various conditions, including, without limitation, (i) approval by Skyline’s shareholders of the Company Shareholder Approval Matters; (ii) the receipt of all required regulatory approvals (without the imposition of any burdensome divestiture condition on the parties, as described in the Exchange Agreement); (iii) the absence of any law, order, or legal injunction which prohibits the consummation of the Exchange and the absence of certain other litigation matters; (iv) the NYSE American listing application for the Company’s shares to be issued in the Shares Issuance shall have been conditionally approved; (v) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties and the performance of their respective obligations; (vi) the absence of the occurrence of a material adverse effect with respect to each of Skyline and Champion Holdings, and their subsidiaries, each taken as a whole, between the date of the Exchange Agreement and closing; and (vii) certain other customary conditions.

Termination and Termination Fees

The Exchange Agreement contains certain termination rights in favor of Skyline and Champion Holdings, as set forth therein. Upon the termination of the Exchange Agreement under specified circumstances, and upon Skyline entering into or closing another acquisition transaction within 12 months after termination of the Exchange Agreement, Skyline may be required to pay Champion Holdings a termination fee of $10 million. 

Any termination fee triggered under the Exchange Agreement will accrue upon Skyline entering into or closing another acquisition transaction within 12 months after termination, but the fee is not payable by Skyline to Champion Holdings until two business days after the date that the other acquisition closes or is terminated unless the board of directors of Skyline adversely changes its favorable recommendation of the Exchange to its shareholders and Champion Holdings terminates the Exchange Agreement as a result of such change in recommendation, in which case, a termination fee of $3 million in cash is immediately due and payable by Skyline to Champion Holdings upon such termination, and if Skyline subsequently enters into or closes another acquisition transaction within 12 months after termination, an additional $7 million cash termination fee would accrue and would become payable two business days after the date that the other acquisition closes or is terminated.

In addition to the termination fee, if the Exchange Agreement is terminated by either Skyline or Champion Holdings because of Skyline’s shareholders do not approve the Company Shareholder Approval Matters, then Skyline must pay Champion Holdings $2 million as reimbursement for fees and expenses incurred by Champion Holdings in connection with the Exchange Agreement. Any expense reimbursement paid by Skyline will be credited against, and thereby reduce, any termination fee that may become due and payable.
