RideNow Definitive Agreement

 

On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Plan of Merger and Equity Purchase Agreement (the “RideNow Agreement”) with RO Merger Sub I, Inc., an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), RO Merger Sub II, Inc., an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), RO Merger Sub III, Inc., an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub III”), RO Merger Sub IV, Inc., an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub IV,” and together with Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Merger Sub III, the “Merger Subs”), C&W Motors, Inc., an Arizona corporation, Metro Motorcycle, Inc., an Arizona corporation, Tucson Motorcycles, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and Tucson Motorsports, Inc., an Arizona corporation, William Coulter, an individual (“Coulter”), Mark Tkach, an individual (“Tkach” and together with Coulter, the “Principal Owners”), and certain other persons who own equity interests in the Acquired Companies (as defined in the RideNow Agreement) and execute a Seller Joinder (as defined in the RideNow Agreement) (together with the Principal Owners, the “Sellers” and each, a “Seller”), and Tkach, as the representative of the Sellers (the “Sellers’ Representative”). The Acquired Companies own and operate powersports retail dealerships under the RideNow brand which include sales, financing, and parts and service of new and used motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, scooters, side by sides, sport bikes, cruisers, watercraft, and other vehicles and ancillary businesses and activities relating thereto.

 

The RideNow Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the RideNow Agreement, (i) the Company will acquire all of the equity interests (the “Equity Purchases”) in the Transferred Entities (as defined in the RideNow Agreement), (ii) Merger Sub I will merge with and into C&W Motors, Inc., with C&W Motors, Inc. continuing as a surviving corporation, (iii) Merger Sub II will merge with and into Metro Motorcycle, Inc., with Metro Motorcycle, Inc. continuing as a surviving corporation, (iv) Merger Sub III will merge with and into Tucson Motorcycles, Inc., with Tucson Motorcycles, Inc. continuing as a surviving corporation, and (v) Merger Sub IV will merge with and into Tucson Motorsports, Inc., with Tucson Motorsports, Inc. continuing as a surviving corporation, in each case under the laws of the State of Arizona and each as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Mergers”). The Equity Purchases and the Mergers will result in the acquisition from the Sellers of up to 46 Acquired Companies (the “RideNow Transaction”). The RideNow Transaction is expected to close (the “Closing”) in the second or third quarter of 2021. Effective as of the Closing, Tkach and Coulter will become executive officers and directors of the Company.

 

The RideNow Agreement provides that the Company will acquire the Acquired Companies in exchange for (i) $400,400,000 in cash plus or minus any adjustments for net working capital and closing indebtedness, and (ii) shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock having a value of $175,000,000 (the “Closing Payment Shares”), valued equally, on a per share basis, based upon the lowest value of (A) $30.00; (B) the VWAP of the Company's Class B Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the Closing, and (C) the value on a per share basis paid for the Class B Common Stock or any shares underlying securities convertible into or exercisable for Class B Common Stock by any person which purchases Class B Common Stock or any shares underlying securities convertible into or exercisable for Class B Common Stock from the Company from the date of the RideNow Agreement until the Closing not including purchases of Class B Common Stock underlying currently outstanding options, warrants, convertible notes, or other derivative securities. Ten percent (10%) of the Closing Payment Shares will be escrowed at Closing and will be released pursuant to the terms of the RideNow Agreement. The Company will finance the cash consideration through a combination of approximately $280,000,000 of debt provided by the Initial Lender (as defined below) and through the issuance of new equity for the remainder thereof.

 

Each of the Company, the Merger Subs, and the Sellers has provided customary representations, warranties and covenants in the RideNow Agreement. The completion of the RideNow Transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including (a) the making of all filings and other notifications required to be made under any Antitrust Law (as defined in the RideNow Agreement) for the consummation of the RideNow Transaction, the expiration or termination of all waiting periods relating thereto, and the receipt of all clearances, authorizations, actions, non-actions, or other consents required from a governmental authority under any Antitrust Law for the consummation of the RideNow Transaction, (b) performance in all respects by each party of its covenants and agreements, (c) the Company obtaining stockholder approval of the RideNow Transaction and related matters, (d) the Closing Payment Shares being approved for listing on Nasdaq, and (e) the receipt of consent to the RideNow Transaction from certain powersports manufacturers.

 

Certain RideNow minority equity holders are not initially parties to the RideNow Agreement and some of such minority holders have rights of first refusal (“ROFR”) with respect to the RideNow entity in which they own a stake.  If any of these equity holders either decide not to sell their interests to the Company or to exercise their ROFR, RumbleOn will not be able to acquire all of the Equity Interests of the Acquired Companies, or in certain cases any interests in an Acquired Company, and the consideration payable therefor in the RideNow Transaction will be correspondingly reduced. RideNow anticipates that all minority owners will participate in the RideNow Transaction and that no minority owners will exercise their ROFR, but there is no assurance this will occur.

 

The RideNow Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and the Sellers' Representative. Both the Company and the Sellers' Representative have the right to terminate the RideNow Agreement if the Closing does not occur on or before June 30, 2021, subject to certain rights of the parties to extend the termination date to July 31, 2021, as set forth in the RideNow Agreement.

 

Commitment Letter

 

On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”). The Commitment Letter provides that, subject to the conditions set forth therein, Oaktree or certain funds or accounts within its Strategic Credit Strategy (the “Initial Lender”) commits to provide senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”), comprised of (i) an initial advance of $280,000,000 to fund the RideNow Transaction, consummate the Refinancing (as defined in the Commitment Letter) and pay the RideNow Transaction costs and (ii) a delayed draw term facility of up to $120,000,000 to fund permitted acquisitions and similar investments and related fees and expenses.

 

The Credit Facility interest rates will be, at the option of the Company, (a) Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Commitment Letter) plus 8.25%, of which (i) Adjusted LIBOR plus 7.25% shall be paid in cash and (ii) 1.00% shall be payable in kind or (b) ABR (as defined in the Commitment Letter) plus 7.25%, of which (i) ABR plus 6.25% shall be paid in cash and (ii) 1.00% shall be payable in kind. The Credit Facility shall mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing date of the RideNow Transaction (subject to extension with the consent of only the extending lender).

 

The Company and its subsidiaries will grant certain security interests to the Initial Lender to secure the Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, all to be more fully set forth in the definitive documentation for the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility will be subject to prepayment with the proceeds of certain events including 50% of excess cash flow, 100% of certain asset sales, 100% of proceeds of certain debt issuances, and 50% of certain public or private equity financings. The Commitment Letter provides that the Credit Facility will contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default, subject to certain carve-outs and exceptions as more fully described in the Commitment Letter.

 

The commitment to provide the Credit Facility is subject to certain conditions, including: the receipt of customary closing documents, completion of applicable “know your customer” requests and delivery of documentation related thereto, no material adverse change, delivery of customary financial reporting, specified representations and warranties, perfection of certain security interests, and delivery of customary legal opinions. The Company will pay certain fees and expenses in connection with obtaining the Credit Facility.

 

Warrant

 

In connection with the Commitment Letter, in lieu of a commitment fee, the Company has agreed to issue to Oaktree a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Class B Common Stock at an exercise price per share to be determined either at Closing or at termination of the Commitment Letter (the “Warrant”). If issued at Closing, the Warrant will be for that number of shares equal to $40,000,000 divided by the lowest price per share at which equity is issued in connection with financing the RideNow Transaction, which price shall also be the exercise price. If issued in connection with a termination of the Commitment Letter, the Warrant will be issued to purchase that number of shares equal to five percent (5%) of the Company's fully diluted market capitalization at the close of business on the day after a termination of the Commitment Letter is publicly announced divided by the weighted average price of the Company's Class B Common Stock for the five days immediately preceding such date, which price shall also be the exercise price. The Warrant is immediately exercisable upon the Closing or five days after the termination of the Commitment Letter and expires eighteen (18) months after the Closing or termination of the Commitment Letter.

 

The Company has accounted for the Warrant agreement as a liability with the initial offset as a deferred financing charge as the Warrant was issued in lieu of a commitment fee connected to the proposed financing of the RideNow Transaction. If the Transaction and related financing is closed, the deferred financing charge will be reclassed as a debt discount to the Credit Facility. The initial warrant liability and deferred financing charge recognized was $10,950,000 The agreement to issue the Warrant is an equity linked contract considered not indexed to its own stock and does not meet the equity classification guidance. The warrant liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the Warrant or until it meets equity classification. The fair value of the Warrant was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation based on a combination of level 1 and level 3 inputs. There was no gain or loss recorded related to the Warrant liability during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 as there was no significant change in the fair value between March 12, 2021 to March 31, 2021.  The recognition of the warrant liability and deferred financing charge was a non-cash item.

 

Certificate of Amendment and Changes to Plan

 

In contemplation of the RideNow Transaction, on March 9, 2021, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved, subject to stockholder approval, (i) an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of shares of authorized Class B Common Stock to 100,000,000 (the “Certificate of Amendment”), and (ii) an amendment to the Plan to increase the authorized shares of Class B Common Stock available under the Plan from 700,000 shares to 2,700,000 shares and extend the term of the Plan for an additional ten years.

 

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

 

In connection with the RideNow Transaction, on March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a registration rights and lock-up agreement, by and among the Company and certain equity holders of the Acquired Companies (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (i) the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement for the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as promptly as practicable following such filing, (ii) the equity holders were granted certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Closing, and (iii) the Lock-Up Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of any Company common stock for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Closing.
