Merger Agreement

 

On March 13, 2024, Turtle Beach entered into an acquisition agreement (the “PDP Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired all the issued and outstanding equity of Performance Design Products, LLC (“PDP”), for consideration valued at $118 million, structured as a merger between a subsidiary of Turtle Beach and FSAR Holdings, Inc., the parent of PDP (the “PDP Transaction”). PDP was a privately held gaming accessories leader that designs and distributes video game accessories, including controllers, headsets, power supplies, cases, and other accessories. Consideration for the transaction consisted of issuance of 3.45 million shares of our common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and approximately $79.9 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

 

In connection with the PDP Merger Agreement, we simultaneously entered into a Stockholder Agreement with the holders of the Stock Consideration, pursuant to which such equityholders received two demand registration rights and the right to annually designate one candidate for our Board of Directors for so long as such holders continue to hold 10% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Such equityholders also agreed to take certain actions to further support our ongoing operations, including to vote in favor of the Board’s directorship nominees and refrain from engaging in solicitations or proxies in opposition to such nominees.

On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a new financing agreement (the “Term Loan Financing Agreement”) by and among the Company, Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as borrower (“VTB”), VTB Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as holdings (“VTBH”), each subsidiary of the Company listed as a guarantor on the signature pages thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Blue Torch Finance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Blue Torch”), pursuant to which

Blue Torch made a loan to VTB in the aggregate amount of $50 million (the “Term Loan Facility”), the proceeds of which were used to (a) fund a portion of the purchase price in the PDP Transaction; (b) repay certain existing indebtedness of PDP, (c) for general corporate purposes; and (d) to pay fees and expenses related to such transactions. The Term Loan Facility will amortize in a monthly amount equal to 0.208333% during the first two years and 0.416667% during the third year and may be prepaid at any time subject to a prepayment premium during the first year of the interest payments payable during the first year plus 3.00%.
