Dear Stockholder:

On September 15, 2019, Mosaic Acquisition Corp. (“Mosaic”), and Maiden Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, including by the merger agreement amendment (as defined below), the “merger agreement”) with Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (“Vivint Smart Home”). On December 18, 2019, Mosaic, Merger Sub and Vivint Smart Home entered into Amendment No. 1 to the merger agreement (the “merger agreement amendment”), to amend the merger agreement to provide, among other things, to (i) reduce the exchange ratio and VGI exchange ratio from 209.6849221312 and 0.2076986176 to 84.5320916792 and 0.0864152412, respectively, to reflect a reduced transaction enterprise valuation of $4.1 billion, (ii) provide for an additional 12.5 million of Class A common shares to be issued to Vivint Smart Home’s holders upon achievement of a $17.50 earnout threshold, (iii) provide for the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement (as defined herein) and Additional Forward Purchaser Investment (as defined herein), (iv) decrease the termination fee to $32.4 million and (v) agree to adjourn the special meeting to approve the merger to January 14, 2020. All descriptions of the terms of the merger agreement included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, which is amended and restated from the version mailed on December 3, 2019, give effect to the merger agreement amendment. If the merger agreement is adopted by Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued as the merger consideration, is approved by Mosaic’s stockholders, and the merger is subsequently completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into Vivint Smart Home with Vivint Smart Home surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic (the “merger”).

Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock) will be converted to shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock, in accordance with the certificate of designation of the Vivint Smart Home preferred stock, and at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of Vivint Smart Home common stock (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock or dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock, except for any fractional shares of Mosaic Class A common stock which would result (which will instead be paid out in cash in accordance with the merger agreement).

Based on the number of shares of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock outstanding, the number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock outstanding and the number of outstanding Vivint Group, Inc. stock appreciation rights, restricted stock unit awards and long-term incentive plan awards, in each case as of November 25, 2019, and excluding any adjustment to the conversion rate of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock, the total number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock expected to be issued in the merger at the closing of the merger is approximately 92.0 million, and holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger will hold, in the aggregate, at least approximately 49.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic Class A common stock immediately following the closing of the merger. Immediately following the closing of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, affiliates of The Blackstone Group Inc. may own a majority of Mosaic’s Class A common stock and control the combined company. Mosaic’s units, Class A common stock and public warrants are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). We have applied to list Mosaic Class A common stock and public warrants on the NYSE under the symbols “VVNT” and “VVNT WS”, respectively, upon the closing of the merger. Mosaic will not have units traded following closing of the merger. Following the closing of the merger, Mosaic intends to change its name to Vivint Smart Home, Inc.

Mosaic will reconvene the special meeting of stockholders (the “Mosaic Special Meeting”) to consider matters relating to the proposed merger. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home cannot complete the merger unless Mosaic’s stockholders consent to the approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued as the merger consideration, and Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders consent to adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home are sending you this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus to ask you to vote in favor of these and the other matters described in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. This proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus also acts as a prospectus for the sale of 9,777,608 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by the selling stockholders named herein.

The Mosaic Special Meeting, which was adjourned, will reconvene on January 14, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF MOSAIC COMMON STOCK YOU OWN. To ensure your representation at the Mosaic Special Meeting, please complete and return the new enclosed proxy card or submit your proxy by following the instructions contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and on your proxy card. Please submit your proxy promptly whether or not you expect to attend the adjourned meeting. Submitting a proxy now will NOT prevent you from being able to vote in person at the meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name”, you should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote in accordance with the voting instruction form you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee.

The Mosaic board of directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommends that Mosaic stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the merger agreement, “FOR” the issuance of Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued as the merger consideration and “FOR” the other matters to be considered at the Mosaic Special Meeting, including certain proposals that have been updated or added subsequent to the earlier mailing of the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus.

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommends that Vivint Smart Home stockholders consent to adopt and approve in all respects the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Vivint Merger Proposal”) and approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the amendments to Mosaic’s existing charter as set forth in Mosaic’s proposed charter (the “Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals”).

This proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the proposed merger. It also contains or references information about Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home and certain related matters. You are encouraged to read this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, you should read the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 32 for a discussion of the risks you should consider in evaluating the proposed merger and how it will affect you.

Table of Contents

The Mosaic Special Meeting was originally called for December 18, 2019. In light of the changes to the terms of the merger resulting from the merger agreement amendment, and in order to provide additional time for consideration of these changes and to align the Mosaic Special Meeting date with the anticipated closing date of the merger (assuming that all other conditions to the merger have been satisfied, or if applicable, waived as of such date), the Mosaic Special Meeting will be reconvened on Tuesday, January 14, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019. The record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting has not changed and remains fixed at November 19, 2019. Only holders of record of Mosaic common stock at the close of business on November 19, 2019 are entitled to notice of the Mosaic Special Meeting and to vote at the reconvened Mosaic Special Meeting and any further adjournments or postponements of the Mosaic Special Meeting. A complete list of Mosaic stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting will be available for 10 days before the Mosaic Special Meeting at the principal executive offices of Mosaic for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Mosaic Special Meeting.

Pursuant to Mosaic’s existing charter, Mosaic will provide holders (“public stockholders”) of its Class A common stock (“public shares”) with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), which holds the proceeds of Mosaic’s initial public offering (“Mosaic’s IPO”) as of two business days prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Mosaic to fund its working capital requirements and/or pay taxes) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $354.3 million on September 30, 2019, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.27, excluding additional interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Mosaic to fund its working capital requirements and/or pay taxes. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Mosaic Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with Mosaic Sponsor, LLC, the “Sponsors”), and Mosaic’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the merger with respect to any shares of Mosaic common stock they may hold. Currently, the Sponsors own approximately 20% of Mosaic common stock, consisting of Class F common stock (“Founder Shares”). Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. The Sponsors and Mosaic’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The deadline for public stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to public shares has been extended to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on January 10, 2020 (two business days before the Mosaic Special Meeting).

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

Table of Contents

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class. Approval of the Charter Proposals requires the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least two-thirds of the Founder Shares then outstanding, voting separately as a single class and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class. Approval of the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal each require the majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting. The Mosaic board of directors has already approved each of the proposals, including certain proposals that have been updated or added subsequent to the earlier mailing of the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus.

As of September 30, 2019, there was approximately $354.3 million in the Trust Account, which Mosaic intends to use for the purposes of consummating a business combination within the time period described in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and to pay approximately $12.1 million in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of Mosaic’s IPO. Each redemption of public shares by its public stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. Mosaic will not consummate the merger if the redemption of public shares would result in (i) Mosaic’s failure to have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) (or any successor rule)) or (ii) the merger agreement condition that public stockholders shall have requested redemptions for fewer than 10,350,000 shares in the aggregate of public shares following the date of the merger agreement (the “Maximum Redemption Condition”) would not to be satisfied or waived by Vivint Smart Home. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home may waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, such that closing of the merger could occur if Mosaic maintains at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (which is assumed to be a redemption of 34,000,000 shares, or 98.5% of Mosaic Class A common stock based, for ease of presentation, on an assumption that the sole assets of Mosaic are $345 million of cash in the Trust Account and disregarding the $1 difference in such a redemption scenario). In the event that Vivint Smart Home elects to waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, it will notify Vivint Smart Home’s and Mosaic’s stockholders by issuing a press release at least one business day prior to the closing of the merger.

If Mosaic stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the merger will not occur. The proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus accompanying this notice explains the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as the proposals to be considered at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Certain of the proposals described herein have been updated or added subsequent to the earlier mailing of the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus. Please review the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus carefully.

The Mosaic board of directors has set November 19, 2019 as the record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting. Only holders of record of shares of Mosaic common stock at the close of business on November 19, 2019 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Any stockholder entitled to attend and vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on such stockholder’s behalf. Such proxy need not be a holder of shares of Mosaic common stock.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF MOSAIC COMMON STOCK OWN. Whether or not you plan to attend the Mosaic Special Meeting, please complete, sign, date and mail the new enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided at your earliest convenience. You may also submit a proxy by telephone or via the Internet by following the instructions printed on your proxy card. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you should direct the vote of your shares in accordance with the voting instruction form received from your broker, bank or other nominee.

If you have already delivered a properly executed original proxy card, due to the addition of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, you are strongly encouraged to deliver another properly executed revised proxy card even if you do not wish to change your vote (in which case your later submitted vote will be recorded and your earlier vote will be revoked). If you already returned the original


Table of Contents

proxy card, by completing and returning the enclosed revised proxy card, you will revoke the original proxy card in its entirety and only your votes as indicated on the revised proxy card will be counted. If you have already voted and do not submit a revised proxy card or new voting instructions, your previously submitted proxy or voting instructions will be voted at the Mosaic Special Meeting with respect to the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary), but will not be counted in determining the outcome of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. The receipt of your revised proxy card and/or new voting instructions will revoke and supersede any proxy or voting instructions previously submitted.

If you are a registered holder and you wish to revoke or change your prior voting instructions, you may revoke or change your prior voting instructions at any time before the Mosaic Special Meeting or at such meeting by doing any one of the following:

 

   

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

 

   

you may notify Mosaic’s secretary in writing before the Mosaic Mosaic Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

 

   

you may attend the Mosaic Mosaic Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person as described above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

The Mosaic board of directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommends that you vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Fortress Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) and “FOR” the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal.

If you have any questions or need assistance with voting, please contact Mosaic’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali, at (800) 662-5200 or email Morrow Sodali at MOSC.info@morrowsodali.com.

If you plan to attend the reconvened Mosaic Special Meeting, you will be required to bring certain documents with you to be admitted to the meeting. Please read carefully the sections in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus regarding attending and voting at the annual meeting to ensure that you comply with these requirements.

Unless specified otherwise, amounts in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus are presented in United States (“U.S.”) dollars.

Defined terms in the financial statements contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus have the meanings ascribed to them in the financial statements.

In this proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, the number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock issued in the merger and outstanding following the consummation of the transactions and the other information based thereon with respect to New Vivint Parent does not reflect (i) approximately 470,000 shares that will be issuable immediately following the merger under vested Rollover Equity Awards (as defined herein), (ii) shares that are issuable following vesting of unvested Rollover Equity Awards, (iii) shares that will be reserved for issuance under the 2020 Omnibus Plan (as defined herein) or (iv) any additional shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock that may be issuable as a result of an adjustment to the conversion rate under the certificate of designations of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock, which will be issuable in the event the 10-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Mosaic Class A common stock is below approximately $14.66 per share (for illustrative purposes, a 10-day VWAP of $12.00 would result in the issuance of approximately 1.5 million additional shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, and a 10-day VWAP of $10.00 would result in the issuance of approximately 2.9 million additional shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock).

Unless specified otherwise, references to this proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus refer to this amended and restated proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus, updated from the version that was first mailed to stockholders on December 3, 2019.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

 

Q:

WHAT IS THE MERGER?

 

A:

Mosaic, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic, and Vivint Smart Home have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 15, 2019, (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, including by the merger agreement amendment (as defined below), the “merger agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Vivint Smart Home with Vivint Smart Home surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic. On December 18, 2019, Mosaic, Merger Sub and Vivint Smart Home entered into Amendment No. 1 to the merger agreement (the “merger agreement amendment”), to amend the merger agreement to provide, among other things, to (i) reduce the exchange ratio and VGI exchange ratio from 209.6849221312 and 0.2076986176 to 84.5320916792 and 0.0864152412, respectively, to reflect a reduced transaction enterprise valuation of $4.1 billion, (ii) provide for an additional 12.5 million of Class A common shares to be issued to Vivint Smart Home’s holders upon achievement of a $17.50 earnout threshold, (iii) provide for the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement and Additional Forward Purchaser Investment, (iv) decrease the termination fee to $32.4 million and (v) agree to adjourn the special meeting to approve the merger to January 14, 2020. All descriptions of the terms of the merger agreement included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus give effect to the merger agreement amendment.

Mosaic will reconvene the Mosaic Special Meeting to, among other things, obtain the approvals required for the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and you are receiving this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus in connection with such meeting. Vivint Smart Home is also providing these consent solicitation materials to the holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock, to solicit, among other things, the required written consent to adopt and approve in all respects the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Vivint Merger Proposal”) and to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the amendments to Mosaic’s existing charter as set forth in Mosaic’s proposed charter (the “Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals”). See “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 261. In addition, copies of the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment are attached to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex A-I and Annex A-II, respectively. We urge you to read carefully this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment in their entirety.

 

Q:

WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS DOCUMENT?

 

A:

Mosaic is sending this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus to its stockholders to help them decide how to vote their shares of Mosaic common stock with respect to the matters to be considered

  at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Vivint Smart Home is also providing these consent solicitation materials to the holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock in order to solicit such holders’ written consent to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendments Proposals.

The merger cannot be completed unless Mosaic’s stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for their approval and Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders approve the Vivint Merger Proposal. Information about the Mosaic Special Meeting, the consent solicitation, the merger and the other business to be considered by stockholders at the Mosaic Special Meeting is contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

This document constitutes a proxy statement of Mosaic, a consent solicitation statement of Vivint Smart Home and a prospectus of Mosaic. It is a proxy statement because the board of directors of Mosaic is soliciting proxies using this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus from its stockholders. It is a consent solicitation statement because the board of directors of Vivint Smart Home is soliciting written consent using this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus from its stockholders. It is a prospectus because Mosaic, in connection with the merger, is offering shares of Mosaic Class A common stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock. See “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration”.

 

Q:

WHAT WILL VIVINT SMART HOME STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE MERGER?

 

A:

If the merger is completed, each share of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock) will be converted into a number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock in accordance with the certificate of designation of the Vivint Smart Home preferred stock.

At the effective time, each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock or dissenting shares) will convert into the right to receive 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock (such number of shares, the “exchange ratio”), except for any fractional shares of Mosaic Class A common stock which would result (which will instead be paid out in cash in accordance with the merger agreement). The shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued in the merger are referred to collectively as the “merger consideration”.

The exchange ratio was determined by: first, calculating the equity value of Vivint Smart Home on a cash-free, debt-free basis (less the cost of vested equity awards of Vivint Group, Inc.) using the transaction enterprise value of $4.1 billion, which resulted in an equity value of approximately $920 million (excluding approximately $5 million reserved to satisfy vested VGI Awards (as defined below)); second, calculating the equity value per share of Vivint Smart Home common stock using the 1,088,935.0852 shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock (including shares of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock that will be automatically converted into Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the merger) outstanding as of December 18, 2019, which resulted in an equity value per share of approximately $845; and third, calculating the exchange ratio using an equity value per share for Mosaic common stock of $10.00, which resulted in an exchange ratio of 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock per share of Vivint Smart Home common stock.

Based on the number of (i) shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock (including shares of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock that will be automatically converted into Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the merger) and (ii) shares of Vivint Group, Inc. (“VGI”) common stock reserved for issuance upon the settlement of VGI restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation right awards and long-term incentive plan awards (“VGI Awards”), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), outstanding as of December 18, 2019, a total of approximately 92.5 million shares of Mosaic common stock will be issued to

 

iv


Table of Contents

stockholders of Vivint Smart Home or reserved for issuance with respect to vested VGI Awards, in each case, in connection with the merger. Up to an additional 37.5 million shares of Mosaic common stock may be issued to equityholders of Vivint Smart Home (including holders of Vivint Group, Inc. awards) in the event the earnout set forth in the merger agreement is fully achieved within five years of the consummation of the merger.

 

Q:

WHEN WILL THE MERGER BE COMPLETED?

 

A:

The parties currently expect that the merger will be completed during January 2020. However, neither Mosaic nor Vivint Smart Home can assure you of when or if the merger will be completed and it is possible that factors outside of the control of both companies could result in the merger being completed at a different time or not at all. Mosaic must first obtain the approval of Mosaic stockholders for each of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for their approval (other than the Adjournment Proposal), Vivint Smart Home must first obtain the written consent of Vivint Smart Home stockholders for the merger and Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home must also first obtain certain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy other closing conditions. See “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 280.

 

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE MERGER IS NOT COMPLETED?

 

A:

If the merger is not completed, Vivint Smart Home stockholders will not receive any consideration for their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and Vivint Smart Home preferred stock will not be converted into Vivint Smart Home common stock. Instead, Vivint Smart Home will remain an independent company. Under specified circumstances, Vivint Smart Home will be required to pay to Mosaic a fee with respect to the termination of the merger agreement. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination—Company Termination Fee” and “Risk Factors” beginning on page 282 and page 32, respectively.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT MOSAIC’S SPECIAL STOCKHOLDER MEETING

 

Q:

HAS THE RECORD DATE FOR THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING CHANGED?

 

A:

No. Only holders of Mosaic common stock as of November 19, 2019, the record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

 

Q:

HAS THE AGENDA FOR THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING CHANGED?

 

A:

Yes. This amended and restated proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus contains the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. Further, the Business Combination Proposal now asks stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve merger agreement as amended by the merger agreement amendment, and the Fortress Issuance Proposal now asks stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve issuances of Mosaic common stock under the Fortress Subscription Agreement and the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement.

See “Are there any additional proposals to be acted upon at the Mosaic Special Meeting that were not described in the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus dated December 2, 2019?” and “Are there changes to any of the other proposals to be acted upon at the Mosaic Special Meeting and described in the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus dated December 2, 2019?” below.

 

Q:

HAS THE DATE AND TIME OF THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING CHANGED?

v


Table of Contents
  Meeting date with the anticipated closing date of the merger (assuming that all other conditions to the Business Combination have been satisfied, or if applicable, waived as of such date), the Mosaic Special Meeting is being reconvened on Tuesday, January 14, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019. Holders of Mosaic common stock on November 19, 2019, the record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting. The deadline to exercise redemption rights for public shares (unless Mosaic consents to a further extension), has been extended to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on January 10, 2019 (two business days before the Mosaic Special Meeting). Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal. See “Do I have redemption rights?” and “If I have already exercised my redemption rights and now wish to withdraw my redemption, how do I withdraw my redemption?” below.

 

Q:

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE ALREADY VOTED?

 

A:

If you have already delivered a properly executed original proxy card, due to the addition of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, you are strongly encouraged to deliver another properly executed revised proxy card even if you do not wish to change your vote (in which case your later submitted vote will be recorded and your earlier vote will be revoked). If you already returned the original proxy card, by completing and returning the enclosed revised proxy card, you will revoke the original proxy card in its entirety and only your votes as indicated on the revised proxy card will be counted. If you have already voted and do not submit a revised proxy card or new voting instructions, your previously submitted proxy or voting instructions will be voted at the Mosaic Special Meeting with respect to the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary), but will not be counted in determining the outcome of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. The receipt of your revised proxy card and/or new voting instructions will revoke and supersede any proxy or voting instructions previously submitted.

If you are a registered holder and you wish to revoke or change your prior voting instructions, you may revoke or change your prior voting instructions at any time before the Mosaic Special Meeting or at such meeting by doing any one of the following:

 

   

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

 

   

you may notify Mosaic’s secretary in writing before the Mosaic Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

 

   

you may attend the Mosaic Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person as described above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

 

Q:

WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON AND WHY IS THIS APPROVAL NECESSARY?

 

A:

Mosaic stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals, including certain proposals that have been updated or added subsequent to the earlier mailing of the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus:

 

  1.

the Business Combination Proposal;

 

  2.

the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. The merger is not conditioned on the Adjournment Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

 

Q.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING THAT WERE NOT DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/CONSENT SOLICITATION/PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 2, 2019?

 

A.

Yes. This revised proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus contains the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. This proposal asks Mosaic stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of the NYSE, the issuance of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement (as defined herein).

 

Q.

ARE THERE CHANGES TO ANY OF THE OTHER PROPOSALS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/CONSENT SOLICITATION/PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 2, 2019?

 

A.

Yes. The Business Combination Proposal now asks stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve merger agreement, as amended by the merger agreement amendment, and the Fortress Issuance Proposal now asks stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve issuances of Mosaic common stock under the Fortress Subscription Agreement and the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement.

 

Q:

WHY IS MOSAIC PROPOSING THE MERGER?

 

A:

Mosaic was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (collectively, a “business combination”).

On October 23, 2017, Mosaic completed its initial public offering, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Since Mosaic’s IPO, Mosaic’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

Vivint is one of the largest smart home companies in North America, delivering integrated smart home products and services to more than 1.5 million subscribers. Vivint manages over 20 million in-home devices, processing over 1.5 billion home activity events each day.

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors believes that the proposed merger represents the best potential transaction for Vivint Smart Home to create greater value for Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders, while also providing greater liquidity by owning stock in a public company.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Vivint Smart Home and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Vivint Smart Home in the course of their negotiations in connection with the merger agreement, Mosaic believes that Vivint Smart Home has a

Table of Contents

leading position in global markets, diversified product lines, longstanding customer relationships and a management team with skills that are complementary to those of Mosaic’s co-founder David M. Maura, who will become a director of New Vivint Parent immediately following the merger. As a result, Mosaic believes that a merger with Vivint Smart Home will provide Mosaic stockholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a company with significant growth potential. See the section entitled “The Merger—Recommendation of the Mosaic Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger”.

 

Q:

DID THE MOSAIC BOARD OBTAIN A THIRD-PARTY VALUATION OR FAIRNESS OPINION IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO PROCEED WITH THE MERGER?

 

A:

Mosaic’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the merger. Mosaic’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of Mosaic’s financial advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the merger. In addition, Mosaic’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of Mosaic’s board of directors and advisors in valuing Vivint Smart Home’s business.

 

Q:

DO I HAVE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

 

A:

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to demand that Mosaic redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of Mosaic’s IPO, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Mosaic to fund its working capital requirements and/or pay taxes) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (such rights, “redemption rights”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 15% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group”, will not be redeemed.

Under Mosaic’s existing charter, the merger may be consummated only if Mosaic has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after giving effect to all holders of public shares that properly demand redemption of their shares for cash. Additionally, Vivint Smart Home will not be required to consummate the merger if the Maximum Redemption Condition is not satisfied or waived by Vivint Smart Home. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home may waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, such that closing of the merger could occur if Mosaic maintains at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (which is assumed to be a redemption of 34,000,000 shares, or 98.5% of Mosaic Class A common stock based, for ease of presentation, on an assumption that the sole assets of Mosaic are $345 million of cash in the Trust Account and disregarding the $1 difference in such a redemption scenario). In the event that Vivint Smart Home elects to waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, it will notify Vivint Smart Home’s and Mosaic’s stockholders by issuing a press release at least one business day prior to the closing of the merger.

 

Q:

IF I HAVE ALREADY EXERCISED MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND NOW WISH TO WITHDRAW MY REDEMPTION, HOW DO I WITHDRAW MY REDEMPTION?

 

A:

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to

 

viii


Table of Contents
  elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

 

 

Mosaic’s transfer agent can be contacted at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

1 State Street - 30th Floor

New York, NY 10004

Attn: Mark Zimkind

Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

 

Q:

WILL HOW I VOTE AFFECT MY ABILITY TO EXERCISE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

 

A:

No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your public shares for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their public shares and no longer remain stockholders and the merger may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. However, Vivint Smart Home will not be required to consummate the merger if the Maximum Redemption Condition is not met. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home may waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, such that closing of the merger could occur if Mosaic maintains at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (which is assumed to be a redemption of 34,000,000 shares, or 98.5% of Mosaic Class A common stock based, for ease of presentation, on an assumption that the sole assets of Mosaic are $345 million of cash in the Trust Account and disregarding the $1 difference in such a redemption scenario). In the event that Vivint Smart Home elects to waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, it will notify Vivint Smart Home’s and Mosaic’s stockholders by issuing a press release at least one business day prior to the closing of the merger. Also, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for Mosaic Class A common stock may be less liquid than the market for Mosaic Class A common stock prior to the merger and Mosaic may not be able to meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange. In addition, with fewer funds available from the Trust Account, the capital infusion from the Trust Account into Vivint Smart Home’s business will be reduced and New Vivint may not be able to reduce its outstanding indebtedness as currently contemplated.

 

Q:

HOW DO I EXERCISE MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

 

A:

If you are a holder of public shares and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that Mosaic redeem your shares for cash no later than the second business day preceding the vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering your stock to Mosaic’s transfer agent physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian) system prior to the vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Any holder of public shares will be entitled to demand that such holder’s shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was approximately $354.6 million, or approximately $10.27 per share, as of November 19, 2019, the record date). Such amount, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Mosaic to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the merger. However, under Delaware law, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Mosaic’s public stockholders exercising redemption rights, regardless of whether such holders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the Business Combination Proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights.

Table of Contents

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the Mosaic Special Meeting. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Mosaic’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the Mosaic Special Meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that Mosaic’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically).

Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of redemption rights must be received by Mosaic’s transfer agent prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Mosaic Special Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to the vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

If a holder of public shares properly makes a request for redemption and the public shares are delivered as described to Mosaic’s transfer agent as described herein, then, if the merger is consummated, Mosaic will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your public shares for cash.

For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of public shares with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences of a Redemption of Mosaic Public Shares” beginning on page 294.

 

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FUNDS DEPOSITED IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AFTER CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER?

 

A:

The net proceeds of Mosaic’s IPO, together with funds raised from the private sale of warrants simultaneously with the consummation of Mosaic’s IPO, was placed in the Trust Account immediately following Mosaic’s IPO. After consummation of the merger, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the public shares who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger (including aggregate fees of approximately $12,075,000 as deferred underwriting commissions related to Mosaic’s IPO) and for New Vivint’s working capital and general corporate purposes, including to pay down a portion of the Vivint Smart Home’s debt.

 

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE MERGER IS NOT CONSUMMATED?

 

A:

If Mosaic does not complete the merger with Vivint Smart Home for any reason, Mosaic would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If Mosaic does not complete the merger with Vivint Smart Home or another target business by January 23, 2020, Mosaic must redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the Trust Account divided by the number of outstanding public shares. The Sponsors have no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period and, accordingly, their Founder Shares will be worthless. Additionally, in the event of such liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to Mosaic’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, such warrants will expire worthless.

 

Q:

HOW DO THE SPONSORS INTEND TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS?

 

A:

The Sponsors own of record and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock. The Sponsors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and any public shares held by them as of the record date, in favor of the proposals. See “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement”.

 

Q:

WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM AT THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING?

 

A:

A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding Mosaic common stock entitled to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Mosaic Special Meeting

  to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The holders of the Founder Shares, who currently own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Mosaic Special Meeting has power to adjourn the Mosaic Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting, 21,562,501 shares of Mosaic common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

 

Q:

WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL AT THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING?

 

A:

The Business Combination Proposal: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the Business Combination Proposal. Mosaic stockholders must approve the Business Combination Proposal in order for the merger to occur. If Mosaic stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the merger will not occur. As further discussed in the section entitled “Other Agreements—Mosaic Letter Agreement” and “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” beginning on page 284 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have entered into an agreement with Mosaic (the “Mosaic letter agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 20% of the aggregate voting power of the Mosaic common stock in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The Charter Proposals: The affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least two-thirds of the Founder Shares then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve each Charter Proposal. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposals, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Charter Proposals, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Charter Proposals will not be effected.

The Fortress Issuance Proposal: The majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting is required to approve the Fortress Issuance Proposal.

Notwithstanding the approval of the Fortress Issuance Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Fortress Issuance Proposal will not be effected.

The Blackstone Issuance Proposal: The majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting is required to approve the Blackstone Issuance Proposal. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Blackstone Issuance Proposal will not be effected.

The Merger Issuance Proposal: The majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting is required to approve the Merger Issuance Proposal. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Issuance Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Merger Issuance Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Merger Issuance Proposal will not be effected.

The Incentive Plan Proposal: The majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting is required to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be effected.

The Adjournment Proposal: The majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting shall be required to approve the Adjournment Proposal. The merger is not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:

DO ANY OF MOSAIC’S DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS HAVE INTERESTS IN THE MERGER THAT MAY DIFFER FROM OR BE IN ADDITION TO THE INTERESTS OF MOSAIC STOCKHOLDERS?

 

A:

Mosaic’s executive officers and certain non-employee directors may have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Mosaic stockholders generally. The Mosaic board of directors was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement and in recommending that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby be approved by the stockholders of Mosaic. See “The Merger—Interests of Mosaic’s Directors and Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 251 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

 

Q:

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?

 

A:

After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, please submit your proxies as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Please follow the instructions set forth on the new proxy card or on the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee.

 

Q:

HOW DO I VOTE?

 

A:

If you are a stockholder of record of Mosaic as of November 19, 2019 (the “Mosaic record date”) you may submit your proxy before the Mosaic Special Meeting in any of the following ways, if available:

 

   

use the toll-free number shown on your new proxy card;

 

   

visit the website shown on your proxy card to vote via the Internet; or

 

   

complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

If you are a stockholder of record of Mosaic as of the Mosaic record date, you may also cast your vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will send you separate instructions describing the procedure for voting your shares. “Street name” stockholders who wish to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from their broker, bank or other nominee.

 

Q:

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING?

 

A:

The Mosaic Special Meeting, which was adjourned, will be reconvened on January 14, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019. All Mosaic stockholders as of the Mosaic record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Mosaic Special Meeting. Since seating is limited, admission to the Mosaic Special Meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration and seating will begin at 8:00 a.m. local time.

Table of Contents
Q:

IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME” BY A BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE, WILL MY BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE VOTE MY SHARES FOR ME?

 

A:

If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to Mosaic or by voting in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy”, which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee. In addition to such legal proxy, if you plan to attend the Mosaic Special Meeting, but are not a stockholder of record because you hold your shares in “street name”, please bring evidence of your beneficial ownership of your shares (e.g., a copy of a recent brokerage statement showing the shares) and valid photo identification with you to the Mosaic Special Meeting.

Under the rules of the NYSE, brokers who hold shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not permitted to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that the NYSE determines to be “non-routine” without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. It is expected that all proposals to be voted on at the Mosaic Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes occur when a broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of shares to vote on a particular proposal for which the broker does not have discretionary voting power.

If you are a Mosaic stockholder holding your shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal or the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. Such broker non-votes will be the equivalent of a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Proposals, but will have no effect on the vote count for such other proposals.

 

Q:

WHAT IF I ATTEND THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING AND ABSTAIN OR DO NOT VOTE?

 

A:

For purposes of the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention occurs when a stockholder attends the meeting in person and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote.

If you are a Mosaic stockholder that attends the Mosaic Special Meeting in person and fails to vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the Charter Proposals, or if you respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your failure to vote or “abstain” vote in each case will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposals.

If you are a Mosaic stockholder that attends the Mosaic Special Meeting in person and fails to vote on the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal or the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, or if respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your failure to vote or “abstain” vote in each case will have no effect on the vote count for such proposals.

 

Q:

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I RETURN MY PROXY CARD WITHOUT INDICATING HOW TO VOTE?

 

A:

If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular proposal, the Mosaic stock represented by your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Mosaic board of directors with respect to that proposal.

Table of Contents
Q:

MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE DELIVERED MY PROXY OR VOTING INSTRUCTION CARD?

 

A:

Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Mosaic Special Meeting. You may do this in one of three ways:

 

   

filing a notice with the corporate secretary of Mosaic;

 

   

mailing a new, subsequently dated proxy card; or

 

   

by attending the Mosaic Special Meeting and electing to vote your shares in person.

If you are a stockholder of record of Mosaic and you choose to send a written notice or to mail a new proxy, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to Mosaic, 375 Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10152 and it must be received at any time before the vote is taken at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Any proxy that you submitted may also be revoked by submitting a new proxy by mail, or online or by telephone, not later than 11:59 p.m. New York City time on January 13, 2020, or by voting in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Simply attending the Mosaic Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares of Mosaic common stock, you must follow the directions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee in order to change or revoke your vote.

 

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL TO TAKE ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING?

 

A:

If you fail to take any action with respect to the Mosaic Special Meeting and the merger is approved by stockholders and consummated, you will continue to be a stockholder of Mosaic. Failure to take any action with respect to the Mosaic Special Meeting will not affect your ability to exercise your redemption rights. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Mosaic Special Meeting and the merger is not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder of Mosaic while Mosaic searches for another target business with which to complete a business combination.

 

Q:

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE SET OF VOTING MATERIALS?

 

A:

Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered under more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

 

Q:

WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS OR VOTING?

 

A:

If you have any questions about the proxy materials, need assistance submitting your proxy or voting your shares or need additional copies of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus or the enclosed proxy card, you should contact Morrow Sodali, the proxy solicitation agent for Mosaic, toll-free at (800) 662-5200 (banks and brokers call (203) 658-9400).

New Vivint Parent will assume the Company Group LTIP Plans, including any liabilities and obligations associated therewith and make adjustments such that awards under the Company Group LTIP Plans will be settled in a number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock with a fair market value equal to a number of hypothetical Rollover SARs with respect to (a) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to the hypothetical Company Group SARs underlying such Company Group LTIP Plan as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (b) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, with a strike price per share of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share strike price of such hypothetical Company Group SARs as of immediately prior to the effective time by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (such assumed and adjusted plans, the “Rollover LTIP Plans”) as if the consummation of the merger constituted an event similar to a “Public Offering” for purposes of the Company Group LTIP Plans; and

Any shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock issuable under Rollover Equity Awards, other than the awards granted under the Rollover LTIP Plans or held by the Vivint Holdback Executives, will be subject to restrictions on transfer until the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, unless otherwise agreed to by Vivint Smart Home and the applicable holder. Following the effective time, each Rollover Equity Award will be subject to the 2020 Omnibus Plan (as defined below) and to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, any vesting conditions (as modified by the 2.0x Modification or the LTIP Modification, as applicable), as had applied to the corresponding Company Group Equity Award as of immediately prior to the effective time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the merger, subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the New Vivint Parent board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the merger. After the consummation of the merger, holders of outstanding Rollover Equity Awards will have the contingent right to receive earnout shares if, from the consummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds as described below.

Q:

WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR RETURNING MY WRITTEN CONSENT?

 

A:

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors has set 12:00 noon, New York City time, on January 2, 2020 as the targeted final date for the receipt of written consents (the “target date”). 313 Acquisition entered into a support agreement with Mosaic (the “Vivint Smart Home support agreement”). Under the Vivint Smart Home support agreement, 313 Acquisition agreed, promptly following the SEC declaring this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus effective, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock held by 313 Acquisition, which represent approximately 92% of the outstanding voting power of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock (on an as converted basis), adopting the merger agreement and approving the merger, subject to certain exceptions. For a more detailed description of the Vivint Smart Home support agreement, see the section titled “Other Agreements—Vivint Smart Home Support Agreement” beginning on page 285 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The target date is the date on which Vivint Smart Home expects to receive the written consents of 313 Acquisition under the Vivint Smart Home support agreement. Vivint Smart Home reserves the right to extend the final date for the receipt of written consents beyond January 2, 2020. Any such extension may be made without notice to Vivint Smart Home stockholders. Once a sufficient number of consents to adopt the merger agreement have been received, the consent solicitation will conclude.

 

Q:

WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED MERGER?

 

A:

With respect to the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock that you hold, you may execute a written consent to approve the Vivint Merger Proposal or the Vivint Charter Amendments Proposal (which is equivalent to a vote for the proposals). If you fail to execute and return your written consent, or otherwise withhold your written consent, it has the same effect as voting against the Vivint Merger Proposal or the Vivint Charter Amendments Proposals.

 

Q:

CAN I DISSENT AND REQUIRE APPRAISAL OF MY SHARES?

 

A:

If you are a Vivint Smart Home stockholder who does not approve the merger by delivering a written consent adopting the merger agreement, you will, by complying with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), be entitled to appraisal rights. Section 262 of the DGCL is attached to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex C. Failure to follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in Annex C may result in the loss or waiver of appraisal rights under Delaware law. Delaware law requires that, among other things, you send a written demand for appraisal to Vivint Smart Home after receiving a notice that appraisal rights are available to you, which notice will be sent to non-consenting Vivint Smart Home stockholders in the future. This proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is not intended to constitute such a notice. Do not send in your demand before the date of such notice because any demand for appraisal made prior to your receipt of such notice may not be effective to perfect your rights. See the section titled “Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 330 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

 

Q:

WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO VIVINT SMART HOME STOCKHOLDERS?

 

A:

Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic intend the merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the merger so qualifies, then a U.S. holder of Vivint Smart Home common stock (including the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock resulting from the conversion of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock described under “The Merger AgreementMerger Consideration”) generally will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the merger.

Although the obligations of Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic to complete the merger are not conditioned on the receipt of opinions from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP (“STB”), counsel to Vivint Smart Home, or

Table of Contents

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP (“Paul, Weiss”), counsel to Mosaic, to the effect that the merger will qualify as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have received an opinion from Paul, Weiss that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code in connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is a part. Paul, Weiss has also delivered an opinion as to the material United States federal income tax consequences described herein. For a more detailed discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 291.

The consequences of the merger to any particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the merger, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances.

 

Q:

SHOULD VIVINT SMART HOME STOCKHOLDERS SEND IN THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES NOW?

 

A:

No. Vivint Smart Home stockholders SHOULD NOT send in any stock certificates now. If the merger agreement is adopted and the merger is consummated, transmittal materials, with instructions for their completion, will be provided under separate cover to Vivint Smart Home stockholders who hold physical stock certificates and the stock certificates should be sent at that time in accordance with such instructions.

 

Q:

WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONSENT SOLICITATION?

 

A:

If you have any questions about the merger or how to return your written consent or letter of transmittal, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus or a replacement written consent or letter of transmittal, you should contact Garner Meads, III, at gmeads@vivint.com.

Vivint Smart Home Solicitation of Written Consents (page 86)

Record Date; Vivint Smart Home Stockholders Entitled to Consent

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors has set November 25, 2019 (the “Vivint Smart Home record date”) as the record date for determining the Vivint Smart Home stockholders entitled to sign and deliver written consent to adopt and approve in all respects the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Vivint Merger Proposal”), and to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the amendments to Mosaic’s existing charter as set forth in Mosaic’s proposed charter (the “Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals”).

Only Vivint Smart Home stockholders of record holding shares of common stock or preferred stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date are entitled to sign and deliver written consents with respect to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals. As of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date, there were approximately 1,009,144 shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and approximately 79,791 shares of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock outstanding and entitled to sign and deliver written consents with respect to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals.

Following entry by the parties into the merger agreement, 313 Acquisition entered into the Vivint Smart Home support agreement with Mosaic. Under the Vivint Smart Home support agreement, 313 Acquisition agreed, promptly following the SEC declaring this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus effective, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock held by 313 Acquisition adopting the merger agreement and approving the merger unless the merger is no longer recommended by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement, in which case, 313 Acquisition would vote 35% of the shares of Vivint Smart Home stock adopting the merger agreement and would be entitled, in its sole discretion, to vote its remaining shares in any manner. The shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition and subject to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement represent approximately 92% of the outstanding voting power of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock (on an as converted basis).

Submission of Consents

You may consent to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals with respect to your shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock or preferred stock by completing, dating and signing the written consent enclosed with this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and returning it to Vivint Smart Home.

If you hold shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock or preferred stock as of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date and you wish to give your written consent, you must fill out the enclosed written consent, date and sign it, and promptly return it to Vivint Smart Home. Once you have completed, dated and signed the written consent, you may deliver it to Vivint Smart Home by emailing a .pdf copy to gmeads@vivint.com or by mailing it to Vivint Smart Home at 4931 North 300 West, Provo, Utah 84604, Attention: Garner B.

Executing Consents; Revocation of Consents

You may execute a written consent only to approve the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals. A written consent to approve the Vivint Merger Proposal or the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals is equivalent to a vote for such proposals.

If you do not return your written consent, it will have the same effect as a vote against the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals. If you are a record holder of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock or preferred stock and you return a signed written consent, you will have consented to the proposals.

If you are a record holder of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock or preferred stock as of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date, you may revoke your written consent (subject to any contractual obligations you may otherwise have) at any time prior to 9:00 a.m. local time, on January 2, 2020 (or, if earlier, before the consents of a sufficient number of shares to approve the Vivint Merger Proposal have been delivered to the Secretary of Vivint Smart Home).

Solicitation of Consents; Expenses

The expense of preparing, printing and mailing these consent solicitation materials to Vivint Smart Home stockholders is being borne by Vivint Smart Home. Officers and employees of Vivint Smart Home may solicit consents by telephone and personally, in addition to solicitation by mail. These persons will receive their regular salaries but no special compensation for soliciting consents.

Stock Ownership of Vivint Smart Home and Executive Officers

As of the close of business on the record date, excluding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock held by 313 Acquisition, the directors and executive officers of Vivint Smart Home collectively beneficially owned and were entitled to vote no shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and no shares of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock.

Mosaic Special Meeting of Stockholders (page 89)

The special meeting of Mosaic stockholders (the “Mosaic Special Meeting”), which was adjourned, will reconvene on January 14, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019. At the Mosaic Special Meeting, Mosaic stockholders will be asked to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. Certain of the proposals have been updated or added subsequent to the earlier mailing of the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus.

The Mosaic board of directors has fixed the close of business on November 19, 2019 (“Mosaic record date”) as the record date for determining the holders of Mosaic common stock entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting. As of the Mosaic record date, there were 34,500,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock and 8,625,000 shares of Mosaic Class F common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting held by three holders of record. Each share of Mosaic common stock entitles the holder to one vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting on each proposal to be considered at the Mosaic Special Meeting. As of the Mosaic record date, the Sponsors and Mosaic’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates owned and were entitled to vote 8,891,220 shares of Mosaic common stock, representing approximately 20% of the shares of Mosaic common stock outstanding on that date. Mosaic currently expects that the Sponsors and its directors and officers will vote their shares in favor of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, and, pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have agreed to do so. As of the Mosaic record date, Vivint Smart Home did not beneficially hold any shares of Mosaic common stock.

A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding Mosaic common stock entitled to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Mosaic Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class. Approval of the Charter Proposals requires the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least two-thirds of the Founder Shares then outstanding, voting separately as a single class and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class. Approval of the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal each require the majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

As of the effective time, New Vivint Parent will assume the Company Group LTIP Plans, including any liabilities and obligations associated therewith and make adjustments such that awards under the Company Group LTIP Plans will be settled in a number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock with a fair market value equal to a number of hypothetical Rollover SARs with respect to (a) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to the hypothetical Company Group SARs underlying such Company Group LTIP Plan as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (b) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, with a strike price per share of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share strike price of such hypothetical Company Group SARs as of immediately prior to the effective time by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent as if the consummation of the merger constituted an event similar to a “Public Offering” for purposes of the Company Group LTIP Plans.

Rollover Equity Awards

Any shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock issuable under Rollover Equity Awards, other than the awards granted under the Rollover LTIP Plans or held by the Vivint Holdback Executives, will be subject to restrictions on transfer until the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, unless otherwise agreed to by

Vivint Smart Home and the applicable holder. Following the effective time, each Rollover Equity Award will be subject to the 2020 Omnibus Plan and to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, any vesting conditions (as modified by the 2.0x Modification or the LTIP Modification, as applicable), as had applied to the corresponding Company Group Equity Award as of immediately prior to the effective time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the merger, subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the New Vivint Parent board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the merger. After the consummation of the merger, holders of outstanding Rollover Equity Awards will have the contingent right to receive earnout shares if, from the consummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds as described below.

Treatment of Holdback Executives

As of immediately prior to the effective time, the Company Group Class B Units, whether or not vested, held by the Holdback Executives will be converted into a number of Class A Units in 313 Acquisition (the “Converted Class A Units”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, with an equivalent value and subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified pursuant to the 2.0x Modification). As of immediately following the effective time, the Converted Class A Units held by the Holdback Executives (in addition to any other Class A Units held by the Holdback Executives) will be automatically reclassified into a number of vested and unvested units designed to track 313 Acquisition’s interests in the VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, common stock of Vivint Wireless, Inc. (“VW”) and its other property, in each case held as of the effective time, subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Converted Class A Units, as applicable (the “tracking units”). The number of each class of tracking unit to be issued to the Holdback Executives will be determined on a pro rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, VW common stock and other property held by 313 Acquisition as of immediately following the effective time. On the six-month anniversary of the day following the closing date of the merger, upon request of the Additional Holdback Holder, any then-vested tracking units held by the Additional Holdback Holder (other than other property tracking units), less any amounts previously sold by, or distributed to, the Additional Holdback Holder in connection with sales of shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock by 313 Acquisition, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. On the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, 10% of any then-vested tracking units held by the Vivint Holdback Executives (other than other property tracking units), less any amounts previously sold by, or distributed to, Vivint Holdback Executives in connection with sales of shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock by 313 Acquisition, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. Following the second anniversary of the closing date of the merger, upon written request to 313 Acquisition by a Vivint Holdback Executive, 313 Acquisition will promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested tracking units (other than other property tracking units) held by the Vivint Holdback Executives for the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. 313 Acquisition will have no obligation to redeem any other property tracking units at any time and may redeem such tracking units, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. No unvested tracking units held by the Holdback Executives will be redeemed until they become vested.

Vivint Smart Home Common Stock. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock or dissenting shares) will convert into the right to receive

84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock (such number of shares, the “exchange ratio”), except for any fractional shares of Mosaic Class A common stock which would result (which will instead be paid out in cash in accordance with the merger agreement).

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger (page 255)

Completion of the merger is subject to approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). Mosaic has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals and Vivint Smart Home has agreed to request early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home received early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act on October 4, 2019. The regulatory approvals to which completion of the merger are subject are described in more detail in the section of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus entitled “Regulatory Approvals Required For The Merger” beginning on page 255.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (page 291)

Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic intend the merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the transactions so qualify, then a U.S. holder of Vivint Smart Home common stock (including the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock resulting from the conversion of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock described below) generally will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the transactions.

The tax consequences of the transactions to each Vivint Smart Home stockholder may depend on such holder’s particular facts and circumstances. Vivint Smart Home stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors to understand fully the consequences to them of the transactions in their specific circumstances. For more information, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 291.

Appraisal Rights (page 330)

Under Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock who do not consent to the adoption of the merger agreement and who otherwise follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to have their shares appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and to receive payment in cash of the “fair value” of the shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, if any, to be paid on the amount determined to be “fair value”. Vivint Smart Home stockholders considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the “fair value” of their shares as so determined could be more than, the same as or less than the consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger agreement if they did not seek appraisal of their shares.

Any holder of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock wishing to exercise appraisal rights must, within 20 days after the date of mailing of the notice of their right to demand appraisal, make a written demand for the appraisal of the stockholder’s shares to Vivint Smart Home (as the surviving corporation in the merger), and that stockholder must not submit a written consent approving the adoption of the merger agreement. Failure to follow the procedures specified under Section 262 of the DGCL may result in the loss of appraisal rights. See “Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 330 and Section 262 of the DGCL attached to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex C.

Summary of the Transactions

Set forth below is a summary of transactions that are contemplated to occur in connection with following the merger.

Conversion of Equity Interests

Immediately prior to the effective time, (i) each share of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock issued and outstanding (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock), will be converted into one share of Vivint Smart Home common stock in accordance with the certificate of designations of the Vivint Smart Home preferred stock and (ii) equity awards outstanding at 313 Acquisition (the majority holder of outstanding of Vivint Smart Home common stock) and Vivint Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Vivint Smart Home, will be converted, cancelled or adjusted as described in “The Merger—Treatment of Company Group Equity Awards”.

At the effective time, each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock or dissenting shares), including the Vivint Smart Home preferred stock converted above, will convert into the right to receive 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock. The right to receive shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock for any outstanding equity awards will be converted into the right to receive Mosaic Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.

Upon the closing of the merger, all Founder Shares will automatically convert, in accordance with Mosaic’s existing charter, to Mosaic Class A common stock, and 50% of such shares will be subject to vesting provisions set forth in the Sponsor Agreement, as described in “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement”.

We refer these transactions, together with the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as the “merger transactions”.

For more information, see “Mosaic’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Party Transactions—Forward Purchase Agreements”, “Mosaic Proposals—Proposal No. 18—The Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal” and “Other Agreements—Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement”.

Debt Repayment

Following the merger, New Vivint intends to use the net cash proceeds from Mosaic’s initial public offering (less any amounts redeemed by public stockholders) and the Private Placements to (i) redeem or repurchase some or all of the 2020 notes issued by APX, an indirect subsidiary of Vivint Smart Home, and/or other existing indebtedness of Vivint Smart Home and (ii) pay fees and expenses relating to the transactions and the foregoing clause (i). Pending the application of the net cash proceeds as described above, New Vivint may use such proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repaying any borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2019, Vivint Smart Home had $454.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes outstanding. Vivint Smart Home may, at its option, redeem at any time and from time to time some or all of the 2020 notes at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. We refer to the debt repayment, together with the merger transactions and the Private Placements, as the “transactions”.

As of September 30, 2019, Vivint Smart Home had approximately $3.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of total debt outstanding, all of which was issued or borrowed by APX and guaranteed by APX Group Holdings, Inc. and by substantially all of APX’s domestic subsidiaries. As discussed in Note 5 and Note 19 in

Table of Contents

Vivint Smart Home’s accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and Note 3 in Vivint Smart Home’s accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, certain of Vivint Smart Home’s debt agreements contain “springing maturity” provisions. Under the terms of these springing maturity provisions, if on September 1, 2020 more than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the 2022 notes and 2022 private placement notes will mature on September 1, 2020. If on September 1, 2020 more than $250.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the Revolving Credit Facility will also mature on September 1, 2020. In addition, if on September 1, 2020 more than $275.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the 2024 Term Loan B and the 2024 notes will also mature on September 1, 2020. As noted above, New Vivint may use a portion of the proceeds from the merger to repay some or all of the outstanding 2020 notes. If less than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes remain outstanding following such repayment, the maturity dates for the debt discussed above would not accelerate to September 1, 2020 from the original maturity dates.

Ownership of New Vivint Parent

As of the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, there are 43,125,000 shares of Mosaic common stock issued and outstanding, including 8,625,000 shares of Mosaic Class F common stock, which will be converted into one share of Class A common stock. As of the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, there are an aggregate of 11,500,000 public warrants and 5,933,334 private placement warrants outstanding. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the merger and assuming no redemptions), assuming that each outstanding warrant is exercised and one Class A common stock is issued as a result of such exercise, the Mosaic fully-diluted stock capital would be 60,558,334 common stock. Immediately following the closing of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, affiliates of The Blackstone Group Inc. (together with such affiliates, “Blackstone”) will own a majority of Mosaic’s Class A common stock and will control New Vivint Parent.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home may waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, such that closing of the merger could occur if Mosaic maintains at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (which is assumed to be a redemption of 34,000,000 shares, or 98.5% of Mosaic Class A common stock based, for ease of presentation, on an assumption that the sole assets of Mosaic are $345 million of cash in the Trust Account and disregarding the $1 difference in such a redemption scenario). In the event that Vivint Smart Home elects to waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, it will notify Vivint Smart Home’s and Mosaic’s stockholders by issuing a press release at least one business day prior to the closing of the merger.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “summary pro forma data”) gives effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement described in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”. The merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Mosaic will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger will be treated as the equivalent of Vivint Smart Home issuing stock for the net assets of Mosaic, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Mosaic will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of September 30, 2019 gives pro forma effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as if they had occurred on September 30, 2019. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018 give pro forma effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as if they had occurred on January 1, 2018.

The summary pro forma data have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the combined company appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home and related notes included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The summary pro forma data have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma data do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The following table presents summary pro forma data after giving effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, assuming three redemption scenarios as follows:

 

   

Assuming No Redemption: This scenario assumes that no shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed and the purchase of 5,000,000 newly issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress at $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement;

 

   

Assuming Maximum Redemption Condition: This scenario assumes that 10,349,999 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $106.3 million from the Trust Account, which is the maximum amount of redemptions that would satisfy the Maximum Redemption Condition set forth in the merger agreement. This scenario includes the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress in the open market prior to the redemption date at an average price of $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement; and

 

   

Assuming Maximum Possible Redemption: This scenario assumes that all 34,500,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed, and the purchase of 4,868,549 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress at an assumed redemption price per share of $10.27 pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement, resulting in a net aggregate payment of approximately $304.3 million after giving effect to these proceeds from Fortress.

UNAUDITED HISTORICAL COMPARATIVE AND PRO FORMA COMBINED PER SHARE DATA OF MOSAIC AND VIVINT SMART HOME

The following table sets forth selected historical comparative share information for Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of New Vivint after giving effect to the merger, assuming three redemption scenarios as follows:

 

   

Assuming No Redemption: This scenario assumes that no shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed, and the purchase of 5,000,000 newly issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress at $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement;

 

   

Assuming Maximum Redemption Condition: This scenario assumes that 10,349,999 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $106.3 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.27 per share based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2019 of approximately $354.3 million) from the Trust Account, which is the maximum amount of redemptions that would satisfy the Maximum Redemption Condition set forth in the merger agreement. This scenario includes the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress in the open market prior to the redemption date at an average price of $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement; and

 

   

Assuming Maximum Possible Redemption: This scenario assumes that all 34,500,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed, and the purchase of 4,868,549 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress at an assumed redemption price per share of $10.27 pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement, resulting in a net aggregate payment of approximately $304.3 million after giving effect to these proceeds from Fortress.

The pro forma book value information reflects the merger as if it had occurred on September 30, 2019. The weighted average shares outstanding and net earnings per share information give pro forma effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as if they had occurred on January 1, 2018.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with the selected historical financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, and the historical financial statements of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

addition to those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, could affect the future results of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home prior to the merger, and New Vivint following the merger, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus:

 

   

any delay in closing of the merger;

 

   

risks related to disruption of management’s time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transactions;

 

   

risks of the smart home and security industry, including risks of and publicity surrounding the sales, subscriber origination and retention process;

 

   

the highly competitive nature of the smart home and security industry and product introductions and promotional activity by competitors;

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements”, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Risks Relating to Vivint Smart Home’s Business and Industry

Vivint Smart Home’s industry is highly competitive.

Vivint Smart Home operates in a highly competitive industry. Vivint Smart Home faces, and may in the future face, competition from other providers of information and communication products and services, including cable and telecommunications companies, Internet service providers, large technology companies, singular experience companies, industrial and smart hardware companies, and others that may have greater capital and resources than Vivint Smart Home does. Vivint Smart Home also faces competition from large residential security companies that have or may have greater capital and other resources than Vivint Smart Home. Competitors that are larger in scale and have greater resources may benefit from greater economies of scale and other lower costs that permit them to offer more favorable terms to consumers (including lower service costs) than Vivint Smart Home offers, causing such consumers to choose to enter into contracts with such competitors. For instance, cable and telecommunications companies are expanding into the smart home and security industries and are bundling their existing offerings with automation and monitored security services. In some instances, it appears that certain components of such bundled offerings are significantly underpriced and, in effect, subsidized by the rates charged for the other product or services offered by these companies. These bundled pricing alternatives may influence subscribers’ desire to subscribe to Vivint Smart Home’s services at rates and fees Vivint Smart Home considers appropriate. These competitors may also benefit from greater name recognition and superior advertising, marketing, promotional and other resources. To the extent that such competitors utilize any competitive advantages in markets where Vivint Smart Home’s business is more highly concentrated, the negative impact on Vivint Smart Home’s business may increase over time. In addition to potentially reducing the number of new subscribers Vivint Smart Home is able to originate, increased competition could also result in increased subscriber acquisition costs and higher attrition rates that would negatively impact Vivint Smart Home over time. The benefit offered to larger competitors from economies of scale and other lower costs may be magnified by an economic downturn in which subscribers put a greater emphasis on lower cost products or services. In addition, Vivint Smart Home faces competition from regional competitors that concentrate their capital and other resources in targeting local markets.

Vivint Smart Home also faces potential competition from do-it-yourself, or DIY, systems, which enable consumers to install their own systems and monitor and control their home over the Internet without the need for a subscription agreement with a service provider. Improvements in these systems may result in more subscribers choosing to take on the responsibility for installation, maintenance, and management of connected home systems themselves. In addition, consumers may prefer individual device solutions that provide more narrowly targeted functionality instead of a more comprehensive integrated smart home solution. Pricing pressure or improvements in technology and shifts in consumer preferences towards DIY and/or individual solutions could adversely impact Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber base or pricing structure and have a material and adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Cable and telecommunications companies actively targeting the smart home market and expanding into the monitored security space, and large technology companies expanding into the smart home market could result in pricing pressure, a shift in subscriber preferences towards the services of these companies and a reduction in Vivint Smart Home’s market share. Continued pricing pressure from these competitors or failure to achieve pricing based on the competitive advantages previously identified above could prevent Vivint Smart Home from maintaining competitive price points for Vivint Smart Home’s products and services, resulting in lost subscribers

or in Vivint Smart Home’s inability to attract new subscribers, and have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Vivint Smart Home relies on long-term retention of subscribers, and subscriber attrition can have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s results.

Vivint Smart Home incurs significant upfront costs to originate new subscribers. Accordingly, Vivint Smart Home’s long-term performance is dependent on Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers remaining with Vivint Smart Home for several years after the initial term of their contracts. One reason for attrition occurs when subscribers move and do not reconnect. Subscriber moves are impacted by changes in the housing market. See “ —Vivint Smart Home’s business is subject to macroeconomic, microeconomic and demographic factors that may negatively impact Vivint Smart Home’s results of operations”. Some other factors that can increase subscriber attrition include problems experienced with the quality of Vivint Smart Home’s products or services, unfavorable general economic conditions, adverse publicity and the preference for lower pricing of competitors’ products and services. In addition, Vivint Smart Home generally experiences an increased level of subscriber cancellations in the months surrounding the expiration of such subscribers’ initial contract term. If Vivint Smart Home fails to retain Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers for a sufficient period of time, Vivint Smart Home’s profitability, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Vivint Smart Home’s inability to retain subscribers for a long term could materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Litigation, complaints or adverse publicity or unauthorized use of Vivint Smart Home’s brand name could negatively impact Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, Vivint Smart Home engages in the defense of, and may in the future be subject to, certain investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of Vivint Smart Home’s business. For example, Vivint Smart Home has been named as defendants in putative class actions alleging violations of wage and hour laws, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, common law privacy and consumer protection laws. From time to time Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers have communicated and may in the future communicate complaints to organizations such as the Better Business Bureau, regulators, law enforcement or the media. Any resulting actions or negative subscriber sentiment or publicity could reduce the volume of Vivint Smart Home’s new subscriber originations or increase attrition of existing subscribers. Any of the foregoing may materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Given Vivint Smart Home’s relationship with Vivint Solar, Inc. (“Vivint Solar”) and the fact that Vivint Solar uses Vivint Smart Home’s registered trademark, “Vivint”, in its name pursuant to a licensing agreement, Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers and potential subscribers may associate Vivint Smart Home with any problems experienced with Vivint Solar or adverse publicity related to Vivint Solar’s business. Vivint Smart Home may not be able to take remedial action to cure any issues Vivint Solar has with its subscribers, and Vivint Smart Home’s trademark, brand and reputation may be adversely affected.

Unauthorized use of Vivint Smart Home’s brand name by third parties may also adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business and reputation, including the perceived quality and reliability of Vivint Smart Home’s products and services. Vivint Smart Home relies on trademark law, internal policies and agreements with Vivint Smart Home’s employees, subscribers, business partners and others to protect the value of Vivint Smart Home’s brand name. Despite Vivint Smart Home’s precautions, Vivint Smart Home cannot provide assurance that those procedures are sufficiently effective to protect against unauthorized third-party use of Vivint Smart Home’s brand name. Vivint Smart Home may not be successful in investigating, preventing or prosecuting all unauthorized third-party use of Vivint Smart Home’s brand name. Future litigation with respect to such unauthorized use could also result in substantial costs and diversion of Vivint Smart Home’s resources. These factors could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Table of Contents

Vivint Smart Home is highly dependent on Vivint Smart Home’s ability to attract, train and retain an effective sales force and other key personnel.

Vivint Smart Home’s business is highly dependent on Vivint Smart Home’s ability to attract, train and retain an effective sales force, especially for Vivint Smart Home’s peak April through August sales season. In addition, because sales representatives become more productive as they gain experience, retaining those individuals is very important for Vivint Smart Home’s success. If Vivint Smart Home is unable to attract, train and retain an effective sales force, Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s business is dependent on Vivint Smart Home’s ability to attract and retain other key personnel in other critical areas of Vivint Smart Home’s business. If Vivint Smart Home is unable to attract and retain key personnel in Vivint Smart Home’s business, it could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s operations depend upon third-party providers of telecommunication technologies and services.

Vivint Smart Home’s operations depend upon third-party cellular and other telecommunications providers to communicate signals to and from Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers in a timely, cost-efficient and consistent manner. The failure of one or more of these providers to transmit and communicate signals in a timely manner could affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to provide services to Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers. There can be no assurance that third-party telecommunications providers and signal-processing centers will continue to transmit and communicate signals to or from Vivint Smart Home’s third-party providers and the monitoring stations without disruption. Any such disruption, particularly one of a prolonged duration, could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business. In addition, failure to renew contracts with existing providers or to contract with other providers on commercially acceptable terms or at all may adversely impact Vivint Smart Home’s business.

Certain elements of Vivint Smart Home’s operating model have historically relied on Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers’ continued selection and use of traditional landline telecommunications to transmit signals to and from Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers. There is a growing trend for consumers to switch to the exclusive use of cellular, satellite or internet communication technology in their homes, and telecommunication providers may discontinue their landline services in the future. In addition, many of Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers who use cellular communication technology for their systems use products that rely on older 2G and 3G technologies, and certain telecommunication providers have discontinued 2G services in certain markets, and these and other telecommunication providers are expected to discontinue 2G and 3G services in other markets in the future. The discontinuation of landline, 2G, 3G and any other services by telecommunications providers in the future would require Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber’s system to be upgraded to alternative, and potentially more expensive, technologies. This could increase Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber attrition rates and slow Vivint Smart Home’s new subscriber originations. To maintain Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber base that uses components that are or could become obsolete, Vivint Smart Home may be required to upgrade or implement new technologies, including by offering to subsidize the replacement of subscribers’ outdated systems at Vivint Smart Home’s expense. Any such upgrades or implementations could require significant capital expenditures and also divert management’s attention and other important resources away from Vivint Smart Home’s customer service and new subscriber origination efforts.

Vivint Smart Home depends on third-party providers of internet access services that may impair, degrade or otherwise block Vivint Smart Home’s services that could lead to additional expenses or loss of users.

Vivint Smart Home’s interactive services are accessed through the internet and Vivint Smart Home’s security monitoring services are increasingly delivered using internet-based technologies. In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s distributed cloud storage solution, including the Vivint Smart Drive, is dependent upon internet services for shared storage. Some providers of broadband access may take measures that affect their subscribers’

Table of Contents

ability to use these products and services, such as degrading the quality of the data packets Vivint Smart Home transmits over their lines, giving those packets low priority, giving other packets higher priority than ours, blocking Vivint Smart Home’s packets entirely or attempting to charge their subscribers more for using Vivint Smart Home’s services or terminating the subscriber’s contract.

The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) released an order that became effective on June 11, 2018, that repeals most of the rules that the agency previously had in place that prevented providers of broadband internet access services from impairing, degrading or blocking services provided by third parties to Vivint Smart Home. The prior rules prohibiting impairment, degradation and blocking are commonly referred to as “network neutrality” rules. Numerous parties have appealed the FCC order which is before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Vivint Smart Home cannot predict whether the FCC order will be upheld, reversed or remanded, nor the timing of the appellate court’s resolution of the appeal.

Following the adoption of the FCC’s order reversing the network neutrality rules, a number of states have passed network neutrality laws. The laws vary by state both in substance and in scope. There is legal uncertainty as to whether states have authority to pass laws that would conflict with the recent FCC order due to the interstate nature of internet communications and for other reasons. Vivint Smart Home cannot predict whether state laws that are interpreted to conflict with the FCC’s order will survive judicial scrutiny if challenged.

The largest providers of broadband internet access services have publicly stated that network neutrality rules are not required as they would not engage in some of the practices that the rules prohibit. While it is difficult to predict what would occur in the absence of such rules, it is possible that as a result of the lack of network neutrality rules, Vivint Smart Home could incur greater operating expenses which could harm Vivint Smart Home’s results of operations. While Vivint Smart Home thinks it is unlikely and that other laws may be implicated should broadband internet access providers affirmatively interfere with the delivery of Vivint Smart Home’s services that rely on broadband internet connections, interference with Vivint Smart Home’s services by broadband internet access service providers for using Vivint Smart Home’s products and services could cause Vivint Smart Home to lose existing subscribers, impair Vivint Smart Home’s ability to attract new subscribers and materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Changes in laws or regulations that impact Vivint Smart Home’s underlying providers of telecommunications services could adversely impact Vivint Smart Home’s business.

Telecommunications service providers are subject to extensive regulation in the markets where Vivint Smart Home operates or may expand in the future. Changes in the applicable laws or regulations affecting telecommunication services could require Vivint Smart Home to change the way Vivint Smart Home operates, which could increase costs or otherwise disrupt Vivint Smart Home’s operations, which in turn could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home must successfully upgrade and maintain Vivint Smart Home’s information technology systems.

Vivint Smart Home relies on various information technology systems to manage its operations. As necessary, Vivint Smart Home implements modifications and upgrades to these systems, and replaces certain of its legacy systems with successor systems with new functionality.

There are inherent costs and risks associated with modifying or changing these systems and implementing new systems, including potential disruption of Vivint Smart Home’s internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, retention of sufficiently skilled personnel to implement and operate the new systems, demands on management time and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into Vivint Smart Home’s current

systems. For example, Vivint Smart Home encountered issues associated with the implementation of Vivint Smart Home’s integrated customer resource management system (“CRM”) in 2014, which resulted in an immaterial error in Vivint Smart Home’s financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. This error was corrected during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. As a result of the issues encountered associated with the CRM implementation, Vivint Smart Home also issued a significant number of billing-related subscriber credits during the year ended December 31, 2014, which reduced Vivint Smart Home’s revenue. While management seeks to identify and remediate issues, Vivint Smart Home can provide no assurance that Vivint Smart Home’s identification and remediation efforts will be successful or that Vivint Smart Home will not encounter additional issues as Vivint Smart Home completes the implementation of these and other systems. In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s information technology system implementations may not result in productivity improvements at a level that outweighs the costs of implementation, or at all. The implementation of new information technology systems may also cause disruptions in Vivint Smart Home’s business operations and have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, cash flows and operations.

Privacy and data protection concerns, laws, and regulations relating to privacy and data protection and information security could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business.

In the course of Vivint Smart Home’s operations, Vivint Smart Home gathers, processes, transmits and stores subscriber information, including personal, payment, credit and other confidential and private information. Vivint Smart Home may use this information for operational and marketing purposes in the course of operating Vivint Smart Home’s business.

Vivint Smart Home’s collection, retention, transfer and use of this information are governed by U.S. and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, industry standards and protocols, or it may be asserted that such industry standards or protocols apply to Vivint Smart Home. The regulatory framework for privacy and information security issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. In North America, federal and various state and provincial governmental bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations limiting, or laws and regulations regarding the collection, distribution, use, disclosure, storage, and security of certain categories of information. Some of these requirements include obligations of companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from exploitation of a vulnerability in Vivint Smart Home’s systems or services or breaches experienced by Vivint Smart Home’s service providers and/or partners. For example, the State of California recently enacted the California Consumer Privacy ACT (“CCPA”), which will be effective in January 2020. The CCPA expands the scope of what is considered “personal information” and creates new data access and opt-out rights for consumers, which may create new requirements for Vivint Smart Home and other companies that operate in California. Vivint Smart Home is also subject to state and federal laws and regulations regarding telemarketing and other telephonic communications and state and federal laws regarding unsolicited commercial emails, as well as regulations relating to automated telemarketing calls, texts or SMS messages.

Many jurisdictions have established their own data security and privacy legal and regulatory frameworks with which Vivint Smart Home or Vivint Smart Home’s vendors or partners must comply to the extent Vivint Smart Home’s operations expand into these geographies or the laws and regulations in these frameworks otherwise may be interpreted to apply to Vivint Smart Home. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of data that identifies or may be used to identify or locate an individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, internet protocol addresses. Vivint Smart Home is also bound by contractual requirements relating to privacy, data protection and information security, and may agree to additional contractual requirements addressing these matters from time to time.

Vivint Smart Home’s compliance with these various requirements increases Vivint Smart Home’s operating costs, and additional laws, regulations, standards or protocols (or new interpretations of existing laws,

 

36


Table of Contents

regulations, standards or protocols) in these areas may further increase Vivint Smart Home’s operating costs and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to effectively market Vivint Smart Home’s products and services. In view of new or modified legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection or information security, or any changes in their interpretation, Vivint Smart Home may find it necessary or desirable to fundamentally change Vivint Smart Home’s business activities and practices or to expend significant resources to modify Vivint Smart Home’s products and services and otherwise adapt to these changes. Vivint Smart Home may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and Vivint Smart Home’s ability to develop new services and features could be limited.

Further, Vivint Smart Home’s failure or perceived failure to comply with any of these laws, regulations, standards, protocols or other obligations could result in a loss of subscriber data, fines, sanctions and other liabilities and additional restrictions on Vivint Smart Home’s collection, transfer or use of subscriber data. In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s failure to comply with any of these laws, regulations, standards, protocols or other obligations could result in a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s reputation, subscriber attrition, new subscriber origination, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

If Vivint Smart Home’s security controls are breached or unauthorized or inadvertent access to subscriber information or other data are otherwise obtained, Vivint Smart Home’s services may be perceived as insecure, Vivint Smart Home may lose existing subscribers or fail to attract new subscribers, Vivint Smart Home’s business may be harmed, and Vivint Smart Home may incur significant liabilities.

Use of Vivint Smart Home’s solutions involves the storage, transmission and processing of personal, payment, credit and other confidential and private information of Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers, and may in certain cases permit access to Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers’ homes or property or help secure them. Vivint Smart Home also maintains and processes other confidential and proprietary information in Vivint Smart Home’s business, including Vivint Smart Home’s employees’ and contractors’ personal information and confidential business information. Vivint Smart Home relies on proprietary and commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to protect against unauthorized use or access of the information Vivint Smart Home processes and maintains. Vivint Smart Home’s services and the networks and information systems Vivint Smart Home utilizes in Vivint Smart Home’s business are at risk for breaches as a result of third-party action, employee, vendor or partner error, malfeasance, or other factors. For example, Vivint Smart Home has experienced instances of Vivint Smart Home’s employees, contractors and other third parties improperly accessing Vivint Smart Home’s and/or Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers’ systems and information in violation of Vivint Smart Home’s internal policies and procedures.

Criminals and other nefarious actors are using increasingly sophisticated methods, including cyberattacks, phishing, social engineering and other illicit acts to capture, access or alter various types of information, to engage in illegal activities such as fraud and identity theft, and to expose and exploit potential security and privacy vulnerabilities in corporate systems and websites. Unauthorized intrusion into the portions of Vivint Smart Home’s systems and networks and data storage devices that process and store subscriber confidential and private information, the loss of such information or the deployment of malware or other harmful code to Vivint Smart Home’s services or Vivint Smart Home’s networks or systems may result in negative consequences, including the actual or alleged malfunction of Vivint Smart Home’s products or services. In addition, third parties, including Vivint Smart Home’s partners and vendors, could also be sources of security risks to Vivint Smart Home in the event of a failure of their own security systems and infrastructure. The threats Vivint Smart Home and Vivint Smart Home’s partners and vendors face continue to evolve and are difficult to predict due to advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography and new and sophisticated methods used by criminals. There can be no assurances that Vivint Smart Home’s defensive measures will prevent cyber-attacks or that Vivint Smart Home will discover network or system intrusions or other breaches on a timely basis or at all. Vivint Smart Home cannot be certain that Vivint Smart Home will not suffer a compromise or breach of the technology protecting the systems or networks that house or access Vivint Smart Home’s products and services or on which Vivint Smart Home or Vivint Smart Home’s partners or vendors

process or store personal information or other sensitive information or data, or that any such incident will not be believed or reported to have occurred. Any such actual or perceived compromises or breaches to systems, or unauthorized access to, or acquisition or loss of, data, whether suffered by Vivint Smart Home, Vivint Smart Home’s partners or vendors or other third parties, whether as a result of employee error or malfeasance or otherwise, could harm Vivint Smart Home’s business. They could, for example, cause interruptions in operations, loss of data, loss of confidence in Vivint Smart Home’s services and products and damage to Vivint Smart Home’s reputation, and could limit the adoption of Vivint Smart Home’s services and products. They could also subject Vivint Smart Home to costs, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, contract damages, indemnity demands and other liabilities and materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber base, sales, revenues and profits. Any of these could, in turn, have a material adverse impact on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Further, if a high profile security breach occurs with respect to another provider of smart home solutions, Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers and potential subscribers may lose trust in the security of Vivint Smart Home’s services or in the smart home space generally, which could adversely impact Vivint Smart Home’s ability to retain existing subscribers or attract new ones. Even in the absence of any security breach, subscriber concerns about security, privacy or data protection may deter them from using Vivint Smart Home’s service. Vivint Smart Home’s insurance policies covering errors and omissions and certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses may not be sufficient to compensate for all potential liability. Although Vivint Smart Home maintains cyber liability insurance, Vivint Smart Home cannot be certain that Vivint Smart Home’s coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to Vivint Smart Home on economically reasonable terms, or at all.

Vivint Smart Home’s Vivint Flex Pay plan is a new business model that may subject Vivint Smart Home to additional risks.

In 2017, Vivint Smart Home introduced a new program (“Vivint Flex Pay”) that allowed subscribers to finance the purchase of their products and related installation through Vivint Smart Home’s Vivint Flex Pay plan. Under Vivint Flex Pay, Vivint Smart Home offers to Vivint Smart Home’s qualified U.S. subscribers an opportunity to finance through a third party the purchase of products and related installation used in connection with Vivint Smart Home’s services. Vivint Smart Home offers certain of Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers who do not qualify for third-party financing, and all Canadian subscribers the opportunity to finance their purchase of products and related installation under a retail installment contract program (an “RIC”), which is financed by Vivint Smart Home. Under Vivint Flex Pay, subscribers pay separately for the products and Vivint Smart Home’s services. As an alternative to the financing offered under these programs, subscribers are able to purchase the products by check, ACH, credit or debit card, and pay in full at the time of installation.

There can be no assurance that the Vivint Flex Pay plan will be successful. If this plan is not favorably received by subscribers or is otherwise not performing as intended by Vivint Smart Home, it could have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, subscriber growth rate, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, reductions in consumer lending and/or the availability of consumer credit under the Vivint Flex Pay plan could limit the number of subscribers with the financial means to purchase the products and thus limit the number of subscribers who are able to subscribe to Vivint Smart Home’s Smart Home Services. There is no assurance that Vivint Smart Home’s current providers of consumer financing, or any other companies that may in the future offer financing to Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers will continue to provide subscribers with access to credit or that credit limits under such arrangements will be sufficient. In addition, a severe disruption in the global financial markets could impact the providers of installment loans under the Vivint Flex Pay plan, and such instability could also affect the ability of subscribers to access financing under the Vivint Flex Pay plan or otherwise. Such restrictions or limitations on the availability of consumer credit or unfavorable reception of the Vivint Flex Pay plan by potential subscribers could have a material adverse impact on Vivint Smart Home’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition, the Vivint Flex Pay plan subjects Vivint Smart Home to additional regulatory requirements and compliance obligations. In particular, the Vivint Flex Pay plan may require that Vivint Smart Home be licensed as a lender in certain jurisdictions in which Vivint Smart Home operates. Vivint Smart Home faces the risk of increased consumer complaints, potential supervision, examinations or enforcement actions by federal and state licensing and regulatory agencies and/or penalties for violation of financial services, consumer protections and other applicable laws and regulations. For example, in 2019, the Company received a subpoena in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) concerning potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”). The Company also has received a civil investigative demand from the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and the “Red Flags Rule” thereunder, and the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”). The Company has cooperated, and intends to continue to cooperate, with any government requests or inquiries. The outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted at this time. If any proceedings or investigations were to be determined adversely against us or resulted in legal actions, claims, regulatory proceedings, enforcement actions, or judgments, fines, or settlements involving a payment of material amounts, or if injunctive relief were issued against us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Vivint Smart Home currently offers RICs in all of the jurisdictions in which Vivint Smart Home operates and therefore is subject to regulation by state and local authorities for the use of RICs. Vivint Smart Home provides intensive training to Vivint Smart Home’s employees regarding sales practices and the content of Vivint Smart Home’s RICs and strives to comply in all material respects with these laws; however, Vivint Smart Home cannot be certain that Vivint Smart Home’s employees will abide by Vivint Smart Home’s policies and applicable laws, which violations could have a material and adverse impact on Vivint Smart Home’s business. Vivint Smart Home also offers RICs to Vivint Smart Home’s Canadian subscribers, and as a result is subject to additional regulatory requirements in Canada. In the future, Vivint Smart Home may elect to offer installment loans and other financial services products similar to the Consumer Financing Program directly to qualified subscribers. If Vivint Smart Home elects to offer such financial services directly, this may further expand Vivint Smart Home’s regulatory and compliance obligations. In addition, as Vivint Flex Pay evolves, Vivint Smart Home may become subject to additional regulatory requirements and compliance obligations.

Vivint Smart Home is subject to payment-related risks.

Vivint Smart Home accepts payments using a variety of methods, including check, credit card, debit card, direct debit from a subscriber’s bank account and consumer invoicing. For existing and future payment options that Vivint Smart Home offers to Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers, Vivint Smart Home may become subject to additional regulations, compliance requirements and fraud. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, Vivint Smart Home pays interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise Vivint Smart Home’s operating costs and lower profitability. Vivint Smart Home relies on third parties to provide payment-processing services, including the processing of credit cards, debit cards and electronic checks, and it could disrupt Vivint Smart Home’s business if these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to Vivint Smart Home. Vivint Smart Home is also subject to payment card association operating rules, including data security rules, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for Vivint Smart Home to comply. If Vivint Smart Home fails to comply with these rules or requirements, or if Vivint Smart Home’s data security systems are breached or compromised, Vivint Smart Home may be liable for card-issuing banks’ costs, subject to fines and higher transaction fees, and lose Vivint Smart Home’s ability to accept credit and debit card payments from Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers, process electronic funds transfers, or facilitate other types of online payments, and Vivint Smart Home’s business and operating results could be adversely affected. See “—Privacy and data protection concerns, and laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business” and “—If Vivint Smart Home’s security controls are breached or unauthorized or inadvertent access to subscriber information or other data is otherwise obtained, Vivint Smart Home’s services may be perceived as insecure, Vivint Smart Home may lose existing

subscribers or fail to attract new subscribers, Vivint Smart Home’s business may be harmed, and Vivint Smart Home may incur significant liabilities”.

Vivint Smart Home may fail to obtain or maintain necessary licenses or otherwise fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Vivint Smart Home’s business focuses on contracts and transactions with residential subscribers and therefore is subject to a variety of laws, regulations and licensing requirements that govern Vivint Smart Home’s interactions with residential consumers, including those pertaining to privacy and data security, consumer financial and credit transactions, home improvements, warranties and door-to-door solicitation. Vivint Smart Home is a licensed service provider in each market where such licensure is required, and Vivint Smart Home is responsible for every subscriber installation. Vivint Smart Home’s business may become subject to additional such requirements in the future. In certain jurisdictions, Vivint Smart Home is also required to obtain licenses or permits to comply with standards governing marketing and sales efforts, installation of equipment or servicing of subscribers, monitoring station employee selection and training and to meet certain standards in the conduct of Vivint Smart Home’s business. These laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to potentially differing interpretations, and various legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current laws or regulations or enact new laws and regulations regarding these matters. Vivint Smart Home strives to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to Vivint Smart Home’s interactions with residential subscribers. It is possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or Vivint Smart Home’s practices. Vivint Smart Home’s non-compliance with any such law or regulations could also expose Vivint Smart Home to claims, proceedings, litigation and investigations by private parties and regulatory authorities, as well as substantial fines and negative publicity, each of which may materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business. Vivint Smart Home has incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses to comply with such laws and regulations, and increased regulation of matters relating to Vivint Smart Home’s interactions with residential consumers could require Vivint Smart Home to modify Vivint Smart Home’s operations and incur significant additional expenses, which could have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If Vivint Smart Home expands the scope of Vivint Smart Home’s products or services or Vivint Smart Home’s operations in new markets, Vivint Smart Home may be required to obtain additional licenses and otherwise maintain compliance with additional laws, regulations or licensing requirements.

Changes in these laws or regulations or their interpretation, as well as new laws, regulations or licensing requirements which may be enacted, could dramatically affect how Vivint Smart Home does business, acquire subscribers, and manage and use information Vivint Smart Home collects from and about current and prospective subscribers and the costs associated therewith. For example, certain U.S. municipalities have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws, regulations or policies aimed at reducing the number of false alarms, including: (1) subjecting companies to fines or penalties for transmitting false alarms, (2) imposing fines on subscribers for false alarms or (3) imposing limitations on law enforcement response. These measures could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s future operations and business by increasing Vivint Smart Home’s costs, reducing subscriber satisfaction or affecting the public perception of the effectiveness of Vivint Smart Home’s products and services. In addition, federal, state and local governmental authorities have considered, and may in the future consider, implementing consumer protection rules and regulations, which could impose significant constraints on Vivint Smart Home’s sales channels.

Regulations have been issued by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), and Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (the “CRTC”) that place restrictions on direct-to-home marketing, telemarketing, email marketing and general sales practices. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, limitations on methods of communication, requirements to maintain a “do not call” list, cancellation rights and required training for personnel to comply with these restrictions.

Table of Contents

The FTC regulates both general sales practices and telemarketing specifically and has broad authority to prohibit a variety of advertising or marketing practices that may constitute “unfair or deceptive acts or practices”. The CRTC has enforcement authority under the Canadian Anti-Spam Law (“CASL”), which prohibits the sending of commercial emails without prior consent of the recipient or an existing business relationship and sets forth rules governing the sending of commercial emails. CASL allows for a private right of action for the recovery of damages or provides for enforcement by CRTC, permitting the recovery of significant civil penalties, costs and attorneys’ fees in the event that regulations are violated. Similarly, most of the statutes and regulations in the United States allow a private right of action for the recovery of damages or provide for enforcement by the FTC, state attorneys general or state agencies permitting the recovery of significant civil or criminal penalties, costs and attorneys’ fees in the event that regulations are violated. Any new or changed laws, regulations or licensing requirements, or the interpretation of such laws, regulations or licensing requirements could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Vivint Smart Home strives to comply with all such applicable regulations but cannot assure you that Vivint Smart Home or third parties that Vivint Smart Home may rely on for telemarketing, email marketing and other lead generation activities will be in compliance with all applicable regulations at all times. Although Vivint Smart Home’s contractual arrangements with such third parties expressly require them to comply with all such regulations and to indemnify Vivint Smart Home for their failure to do so, Vivint Smart Home cannot assure you that the FTC, FCC, CRTC, private litigants or others will not attempt to hold Vivint Smart Home responsible for any unlawful acts conducted by such third parties or that Vivint Smart Home could successfully enforce or collect upon such indemnities. Additionally, certain FCC rulings and/or FTC enforcement actions may support the legal position that Vivint Smart Home may be held vicariously liable for the actions of third parties, including any telemarketing violations by Vivint Smart Home’s independent, third-party, authorized dealers that are performed without Vivint Smart Home’s authorization or that are otherwise prohibited by Vivint Smart Home’s policies. Both the FCC and the FTC have relied on certain actions to support the notion of vicarious liability, including but not limited to, the use of the company brand or trademark, the authorization or approval of telemarketing scripts or the sharing of consumer prospect lists. Changes in such regulations or the interpretation thereof that further restricts such activities could result in a material reduction in the number of leads for Vivint Smart Home’s business and could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The policies of the U.S. Government may adversely impact Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business. General trade tensions between the U.S. and China escalated in 2018, with three rounds of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods taking effect in July, August and September 2018, each followed by a round of retaliatory Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods. If duties on existing tariffs are raised or if additional tariffs are announced, many of Vivint Smart Home’s inbound products to the United States would be subject to tariffs assessed in the cost of goods as imported. If these duties are imposed on such products, Vivint Smart Home may be required to raise Vivint Smart Home’s prices, which may result in the loss of subscribers and harm Vivint Smart Home’s operating performance. Alternatively, Vivint Smart Home may seek to shift production outside of China, resulting in additional costs and disruption to Vivint Smart Home’s operations. Additionally, the current administration continues to signal that it may alter trade agreements and terms between China and the United States, including limiting trade with China, and may impose additional tariffs on imports from China.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. President signed into law the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Act”). Among other changes, the Act imposes limitations on the deductibility of interest. Moreover, the effects of the Act are not yet entirely clear and will depend on, among other things, additional regulatory and administrative guidance, as well as any statutory technical corrections that are subsequently enacted, which could have an adverse effect on the U.S. federal income taxation of Vivint Smart Home’s and Vivint Smart Home’s subsidiaries’ operations.

While there is currently a substantial lack of clarity and uncertainty around the likelihood, timing and details of any such policies and reforms, such policies and reforms may materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of Vivint Smart Home’s securities.

Increased adoption of laws purporting to characterize certain charges in Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber contracts as unlawful, may adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s operations.

If a subscriber cancels prior to the end of the initial term of the contract, other than in accordance with the contract, Vivint Smart Home may, under the terms of the subscriber contract, charge the subscriber the amount that would have been paid over the remaining term of the contract. Several states have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws restricting the charges that can be imposed upon contract cancellation prior to the end of the initial contract term. Such initiatives could negatively impact Vivint Smart Home’s business and have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Adverse rulings regarding these matters could increase legal exposure to subscribers against whom such charges have been imposed and increase the risk that certain subscribers may seek to recover such charges from Vivint Smart Home through litigation or otherwise. In addition, the costs of defending such litigation and enforcement actions could have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s new products and services may not be successful.

Vivint Smart Home launched Vivint Smart Home’s first smart home products and services beginning in 2010. Since that time Vivint Smart Home has launched a number of other offerings. Vivint Smart Home anticipates launching additional products and services in the future. These products and services and the new products and services Vivint Smart Home may launch in the future may not be well received by Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers, may not help Vivint Smart Home to generate new subscribers, may adversely affect the attrition rate of existing subscribers, may increase Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber acquisition costs and may increase the costs to service Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2015 Vivint Smart Home recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges for Vivint Smart Home’s wireless internet business totaling $59.2 million, which resulted in $53.2 million of asset impairment charges related to write-downs of Vivint Smart Home’s network assets, subscriber acquisition costs, certain intellectual property and goodwill and $6.0 million in net restructuring charges related to employee severance and termination benefits, as well as write-offs of certain vendor contracts. Any profits Vivint Smart Home may generate from these or other new products or services may be lower than profits generated from Vivint Smart Home’s other products and services and may not be sufficient for Vivint Smart Home to recoup Vivint Smart Home’s development or subscriber acquisition costs incurred. New products and services may also have lower gross margins, particularly to the extent that they do not fully utilize Vivint Smart Home’s existing infrastructure. In addition, new products and services may require increased operational expenses or subscriber acquisition costs and present new and difficult technological and intellectual property challenges that may subject Vivint Smart Home to claims or complaints if subscribers experience service disruptions or failures or other quality issues. To the extent Vivint Smart Home’s new products and services are not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s new retail strategy may subject Vivint Smart Home to additional risks.

Historically, Vivint Smart Home has primarily originated subscribers through Vivint Smart Home’s direct-to-home and inside sales channels. However, in 2017 Vivint Smart Home developed a new strategy to enter into the retail channel in order to expand Vivint Smart Home’s reach to the broad consumer market. For example, on May 4, 2017, Vivint Smart Home announced an agreement with Best Buy, pursuant to which the parties had agreed to jointly market and sell smart home products and services. In July 2018, as part of certain cost reduction initiatives, the goal of which was to reduce certain of Vivint Smart Home’s general and administrative, subscriber service, and sales support fixed costs, Vivint Smart Home agreed in principle to end

the co-branded Best Buy Smart Home by Vivint Smart Home arrangement and in December 2018 Vivint Smart Home formally terminated Vivint Smart Home’s relationship with Best Buy. Vivint Smart Home continues to explore other retail strategy opportunities and may devote significant management attention, substantial capital and other resources in connection with such efforts. However, despite these efforts and expenses, Vivint Smart Home may not be able to establish retail distribution channels for Vivint Smart Home’s products and services.

The technology Vivint Smart Home employs may become obsolete, which could require significant capital expenditures.

Vivint Smart Home’s industry is subject to continual technological innovation. Vivint Smart Home’s products and services interact with the hardware and software technology of systems and devices located at Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers’ property. Vivint Smart Home may be required to implement new technologies or adapt existing technologies in response to changing market conditions, subscriber preferences, industry standards or inability to secure necessary intellectual property licenses, which could require significant capital expenditures. It is also possible that one or more of Vivint Smart Home’s competitors could develop a significant technological advantage that allows them to provide additional or superior products or services, or to lower their price for similar products or services, that could put Vivint Smart Home at a competitive disadvantage. Vivint Smart Home’s inability to adapt to changing technologies, market conditions or subscriber preferences in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s future operating and financial results are uncertain.

Prior growth rates in revenues and other operating and financial results should not be considered indicative of Vivint Smart Home’s future performance. Vivint Smart Home’s future performance and operating results depend on, among other things: (1) Vivint Smart Home’s ability to renew and/or upgrade contracts with existing subscribers and maintain subscriber satisfaction with existing subscribers; (2) Vivint Smart Home’s ability to generate new subscribers, including Vivint Smart Home’s ability to scale the number of new subscribers generated through inside sales and other channels; (3) Vivint Smart Home’s ability to increase the density of Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber base for existing service locations or continue to expand into new geographic markets; (4) Vivint Smart Home’s ability to successfully develop and market new and innovative products and services; (5) the level of product, service and price competition; (6) the degree of saturation in, and Vivint Smart Home’s ability to further penetrate, existing markets; (7) Vivint Smart Home’s ability to manage growth, revenues, origination or acquisition costs of new subscribers and attrition rates, the cost of servicing Vivint Smart Home’s existing subscribers and general and administrative costs; and (8) Vivint Smart Home’s ability to attract, train and retain qualified employees. If Vivint Smart Home’s future operating and financial results suffer as a result of any of the other reasons mentioned above, or any other reasons, there could be a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

There can be no assurance that Vivint Smart Home will be able to achieve or maintain profitability or positive cash flow from operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s ability to generate future positive operating results and cash flows depends, in part, on Vivint Smart Home’s ability to generate new subscribers in a cost-effective manner, while minimizing attrition of existing subscribers. New subscriber acquisitions play a particularly important role in Vivint Smart Home’s financial model as they not only increase Vivint Smart Home’s future operating cash flows, but also help to replace the cash flows lost as a result of subscriber attrition. If Vivint Smart Home is unable to cost-effectively generate new subscribers or retain Vivint Smart Home’s existing subscribers, Vivint Smart Home’s business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. In addition, to drive Vivint Smart Home’s growth, Vivint Smart Home has made significant upfront investments in subscriber acquisition costs, as well as technology and infrastructure to support Vivint Smart Home’s growing subscriber base. As a result of these investments, Vivint Smart Home has incurred losses and used significant amounts of cash to fund

operations. As Vivint Smart Home’s business scales, Vivint Smart Home expects recurring revenue to increase due to growth in Vivint Smart Home’s total subscribers. If such increase occurs, a greater percentage of Vivint Smart Home’s net acquisition costs for new subscribers may be funded through revenues generated by Vivint Smart Home’s existing subscriber base. Vivint Smart Home also expects the number of new subscribers to decrease as a percentage of Vivint Smart Home’s total subscribers as Vivint Smart Home’s business scales, which Vivint Smart Home believes, along with the expected growth in recurring revenue, will improve operating results and operating cash flows over time. Vivint Smart Home’s ability to improve Vivint Smart Home’s operating results and cash flows, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance that Vivint Smart Home will achieve such improvements. To the extent the number of new subscribers does not decrease as a percentage of Vivint Smart Home’s total subscribers or Vivint Smart Home does not reduce the percentage of Vivint Smart Home’s revenue used to support new investments, Vivint Smart Home will continue to incur losses and require a significant amount of cash to fund Vivint Smart Home’s operations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, cash flows, operating results and financial condition.

Vivint Smart Home’s business is subject to economic and demographic factors that may negatively impact Vivint Smart Home’s results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s business is generally dependent on national, regional and local economic conditions. Historically, both the U.S. and worldwide economies have experienced cyclical economic downturns, some of which have been prolonged and severe. These economic downturns have generally coincided with, and contributed to, increased energy costs, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence and spending, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns. These conditions and concerns result in a decline in business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment.

Where disposable income available for discretionary spending is reduced (due to, for example, higher housing, energy, interest or other costs or where the perceived wealth of subscribers has decreased) and disruptions in the financial markets adversely impact the availability and cost of credit, Vivint Smart Home’s business may experience increased attrition rates, a reduced ability to originate new subscribers and reduced consumer demand.

For instance, recoveries in the housing market increase the occurrence of relocations, which may lead to subscribers disconnecting service and not contracting with Vivint Smart Home in their new homes. Vivint Smart Home cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or the timing or strength of a subsequent economic recovery, worldwide or in the specific markets where Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers are located.

Furthermore, any deterioration in new construction and sales of existing single-family homes could reduce opportunities to originate new subscribers and increase attrition among Vivint Smart Home’s existing subscribers. Such downturns in the economy in general, and the housing market in particular, may negatively affect Vivint Smart Home’s business.

In addition, unfavorable shifts in population and other demographic factors may cause Vivint Smart Home to lose subscribers as people migrate to markets where Vivint Smart Home has little or no presence, or if the general population shifts into a less desirable age, geographic or other demographic group from Vivint Smart Home’s business perspective.

Vivint Smart Home’s inside sales and retail channels depend on third parties and other sources that Vivint Smart Home does not control to generate leads that Vivint Smart Home then converts into subscribers. If Vivint Smart Home’s third-party partners and lead generators are not successful in generating leads for Vivint Smart Home’s inside sales and retail sales channels, if the quality of those leads deteriorates, or if Vivint Smart Home is unable to generate leads through other sources that are cost effective and can be successfully converted into

subscribers, it could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Also, Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers consist largely of homeowners, who are subject to economic, credit, financial and other risks, as applicable. These risks could materially and adversely affect a subscriber’s ability to make required payments to Vivint Smart Home on a timely basis. Any such decrease or delay in subscriber payments may have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home. As a result of financial distress, subscribers may apply for relief under bankruptcy and other laws relating to creditors’ rights. In addition, subscribers may be subject to involuntary application of such bankruptcy and other laws relating to creditors’ rights. The bankruptcy of a subscriber could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to collect payments, to protect Vivint Smart Home’s rights and otherwise realize the value of Vivint Smart Home’s contract with the subscriber. This may occur as a result of, among other things, application of the automatic stay, delays and uncertainty in the bankruptcy process and potential rejection of such subscriber contracts. Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers’ inability to pay, whether as a result of economic or credit issues, bankruptcy or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home depends on a limited number of suppliers to provide Vivint Smart Home’s products and services. Vivint Smart Home’s product suppliers, in turn, rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide significant components and materials used in Vivint Smart Home’s products. A change in Vivint Smart Home’s existing preferred supply arrangements or a material interruption in supply of products or third-party services could increase Vivint Smart Home’s costs or prevent or limit Vivint Smart Home’s ability to accept and fill orders for Vivint Smart Home’s products and services.

Vivint Smart Home obtains important components of Vivint Smart Home’s systems from several suppliers. Should such suppliers cease to manufacture the products Vivint Smart Home purchase from them or become unable to timely deliver these products in accordance with Vivint Smart Home’s requirements, or should such other suppliers choose not to do business with Vivint Smart Home, Vivint Smart Home may be required to locate alternative suppliers. Vivint Smart Home also relies on a number of sole or limited source suppliers for critical components of Vivint Smart Home’s solution. In particular, Vivint Smart Home relies on Alpha Networks Inc. for Vivint Smart Home’s indoor cameras. Replacing this sole source supplier or Vivint Smart Home’s limited source suppliers could require the expenditure of significant resources and time to redesign and resource these products. In addition, any financial or other difficulties Vivint Smart Home’s suppliers face may have negative effects on Vivint Smart Home’s business. Vivint Smart Home may be unable to locate alternate suppliers on a timely basis or to negotiate the purchase of control panels or other equipment on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s equipment suppliers, in turn, depend upon a limited number of outside unaffiliated suppliers for key components and materials used in Vivint Smart Home’s control panels and other equipment. If any of these suppliers cease to or are unable to provide components and materials in sufficient quantity and of the requisite quality, especially during Vivint Smart Home’s summer selling season when a large percentage of Vivint Smart Home’s new subscriber originations occur, and if there are not adequate alternative sources of supply, Vivint Smart Home could experience significant delays in the supply of equipment. Any such delay in the supply of equipment of the requisite quality could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to originate subscribers and cause Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers not to continue, renew or upgrade their contracts or to choose not to purchase such products or services from Vivint Smart Home. This would result in delays in or loss of future revenues and could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Also, if previously installed components and materials were found to be defective, Vivint Smart Home might not be able to recover the costs associated with the recall, repair or replacement of such products, across Vivint Smart Home’s installed subscriber base, and the diversion of personnel and other resources to address such issues could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Currency fluctuations could materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home, and Vivint Smart Home has not hedged this risk.

Historically, a small portion of Vivint Smart Home’s revenue has been denominated in Canadian Dollars. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, before intercompany eliminations, approximately $53.5 million of Vivint Smart Home’s revenues were denominated in Canadian Dollars. As of September 30, 2019, $284.1 million of Vivint Smart Home’s total assets and $253.7 million of Vivint Smart Home’s total liabilities were denominated in Canadian Dollars. In the future, Vivint Smart Home expect to continue generating revenue denominated in Canadian Dollars and other foreign currencies. Accordingly, Vivint Smart Home may be materially and adversely affected by currency fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar versus these currencies. Weaker foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar may result in lower levels of reported revenues with respect to foreign currency-denominated subscriber contracts, net income, assets, liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income on Vivint Smart Home’s U.S. Dollar-denominated financial statements. Vivint Smart Home has not historically hedged against this exposure. Foreign exchange rates are influenced by many factors outside of Vivint Smart Home’s control, including but not limited to: changing supply and demand for a particular currency, monetary policies of governments (including exchange-control programs, restrictions on local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign investment in a country or an investment by residents of a country in other countries), changes in balances of payments and trade, trade restrictions and currency devaluations and revaluations. Also, governments may from time to time intervene in the currency markets, directly and by regulation, to influence prices directly. As such, these events and actions are unpredictable. The resulting volatility in the exchange rates for the other currencies could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition and results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home relies on certain third-party providers of licensed software and services integral to the operations of Vivint Smart Home’s business.

Certain aspects of the operation of Vivint Smart Home’s business depend on third-party software and service providers. Vivint Smart Home relies on certain software technology that Vivint Smart Home licenses from third parties and uses in Vivint Smart Home’s products and services to perform key functions and provide critical functionality. For example, Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers with Go! Control panels utilize technology hosted by Alarm.com to access their systems remotely through a smart phone application or through a web interface. With regard to licensed software technology, Vivint Smart Home is, to a certain extent, dependent upon the ability of third parties to maintain, enhance or develop their software and services on a timely and cost-effective basis, to meet industry technological standards and innovations to deliver software and services that are free of defects or security vulnerabilities, and to ensure their software and services are free from disruptions or interruptions. Further, these third-party services and software licenses may not always be available to Vivint Smart Home on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

If Vivint Smart Home’s agreements with third-party software or services vendors are not renewed or the third-party software or services become obsolete, fail to function properly, are incompatible with future versions of Vivint Smart Home’s products or services, are defective or otherwise fail to address Vivint Smart Home’s needs, there is no assurance that Vivint Smart Home would be able to replace the functionality provided by the third-party software or services with software or services from alternative providers. Furthermore, even if Vivint Smart Home obtains licenses to alternative software or services that provide the functionality Vivint Smart Home needs, Vivint Smart Home may be required to replace hardware installed at Vivint Smart Home’s monitoring stations and at Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers’ homes, including security system control panels and peripherals, to affect Vivint Smart Home’s integration of or migration to alternative software products. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home is highly dependent on the proper and efficient functioning of Vivint Smart Home’s computer, data backup, information technology, telecom and processing systems, platform and Vivint Smart Home’s redundant monitoring stations.

Vivint Smart Home’s ability to keep Vivint Smart Home’s business operating is highly dependent on the proper and efficient operation of Vivint Smart Home’s computer systems, information technology systems, telecom systems, data-processing systems and subscriber software platform. Although Vivint Smart Home has redundant central monitoring facilities, backup computer and power systems and disaster recovery tests, if there is a catastrophic event, natural disaster, security breach, negligent or intentional act by an employee or other extraordinary event, Vivint Smart Home may be unable to provide Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers with uninterrupted services.

Furthermore, because computer and data backup and processing systems are susceptible to malfunctions and interruptions, Vivint Smart Home cannot guarantee that Vivint Smart Home will not experience service failures in the future. A significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of any computer or data backup and processing system could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to keep Vivint Smart Home’s operations running efficiently and respond to alarm system signals. Vivint Smart Home does not have a backup system for Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber software platform. If a malfunction results in a wider or sustained disruption, it could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s reputation, business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home is subject to unionization and labor and employment laws and regulations, which could increase Vivint Smart Home’s costs and restrict Vivint Smart Home’s operations in the future.

Currently, a very small minority of Vivint Smart Home’s employees are represented by a union. As Vivint Smart Home continues to grow and enter different regions, unions may make further attempts to organize all or part of Vivint Smart Home’s employee base. If more or all of Vivint Smart Home’s workforce were to become unionized, and the terms of the collective bargaining agreement were significantly different from Vivint Smart Home’s current compensation arrangements, it could increase Vivint Smart Home’s costs and adversely impact Vivint Smart Home’s profitability. Additionally, responding to such organization attempts distracts Vivint Smart Home’s management and results in increased legal and other professional fees; and, labor union contracts could put Vivint Smart Home at increased risk of labor strikes and disruption of Vivint Smart Home’s operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s business is subject to a variety of employment laws and regulations and may become subject to additional such requirements in the future. Although Vivint Smart Home believes Vivint Smart Home is in material compliance with applicable employment laws and regulations, in the event of a change in requirements, Vivint Smart Home may be required to modify Vivint Smart Home’s operations or to utilize resources to maintain compliance with such laws and regulations. Moreover, Vivint Smart Home may be subject to various employment-related claims, such as individual or class actions or government enforcement actions relating to alleged employment discrimination, employee classification and related withholding, wage-hour disputes, labor standards or healthcare and benefit issues. Vivint Smart Home’s failure to comply with applicable employment laws and regulations and related legal actions against Vivint Smart Home may affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

The loss of Vivint Smart Home’s senior management could disrupt Vivint Smart Home’s business.

Vivint Smart Home’s senior management is important to the success of Vivint Smart Home’s business because there is significant competition for executive personnel with experience in the smart home and security industry and Vivint Smart Home’s sales channels. As a result of this need and the competition for a limited pool of industry-based executive experience, Vivint Smart Home may not be able to retain Vivint Smart Home’s existing senior management. In addition, Vivint Smart Home may not be able to fill new positions or vacancies

created by expansion or turnover. Vivint Smart Home does not and does not currently expect to have in the future, “key person” insurance on the lives of any member of Vivint Smart Home’s senior management. The loss of any member of Vivint Smart Home’s senior management team without retaining a suitable replacement could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

If Vivint Smart Home is unable to acquire necessary intellectual property or adequately protect Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property, Vivint Smart Home could be competitively disadvantaged.

Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property, including Vivint Smart Home’s patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights, constitutes a significant part of Vivint Smart Home’s value. Vivint Smart Home’s success depends, in part, on Vivint Smart Home’s ability to protect Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary technology, brands and other intellectual property against dilution, infringement, misappropriation and competitive pressure by defending Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property rights. To protect Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property rights, Vivint Smart Home relies on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws of the United States, Canada and other countries and a combination of confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other methods, all of which offer only limited protection. In addition, Vivint Smart Home makes efforts to acquire rights to intellectual property necessary for Vivint Smart Home’s operations. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful in any given case, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.

Vivint Smart Home owns a portfolio of issued U.S. patents and pending U.S. and foreign patent applications that relate to a variety of smart home, security and wireless Internet technologies utilized in Vivint Smart Home’s business. Vivint Smart Home may file additional patent applications in the future in the United States and internationally. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and Vivint Smart Home may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner all the way through to the successful issuance of a patent. Vivint Smart Home may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions. In addition, issuance of a patent does not guarantee that Vivint Smart Home has an absolute right to practice the patented invention.

If Vivint Smart Home fails to acquire the necessary intellectual property rights or adequately protect or assert Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property rights, competitors may dilute Vivint Smart Home’s brands or manufacture and market similar products and services or convert Vivint Smart Home’s subscribers, which could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s market share and results of operations. Vivint Smart Home may not receive patents or trademarks for all Vivint Smart Home’s pending patent and trademark applications, and existing or future patents or licenses may not provide competitive advantages for Vivint Smart Home’s products and services. Furthermore, it is possible that Vivint Smart Home’s patent applications may not issue as granted patents, that the scope of Vivint Smart Home’s issued patents will be insufficient or not have the coverage originally sought, or that Vivint Smart Home’s issued patents will not provide Vivint Smart Home with any competitive advantages. Vivint Smart Home’s competitors may challenge, invalidate or avoid the application of Vivint Smart Home’s existing or future intellectual property rights that Vivint Smart Home obtains or licenses. In addition, patent rights may not prevent Vivint Smart Home’s competitors from developing, using or selling products or services that are similar to or address the same market as Vivint Smart Home’s products and services. The loss of protection for Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property rights could reduce the market value of Vivint Smart Home’s brands and Vivint Smart Home’s products and services, reduce new subscriber originations or upgrade sales to existing subscribers, lower Vivint Smart Home’s profits, and could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s policy is to require Vivint Smart Home’s employees that were hired to develop material intellectual property included in Vivint Smart Home’s products to execute written agreements in which

 

48


Table of Contents

they assign to Vivint Smart Home their rights in potential inventions and other intellectual property created within the scope of their employment (or, with respect to consultants and service providers, their engagement to develop such intellectual property), but Vivint Smart Home cannot assure you that Vivint Smart Home has adequately protected Vivint Smart Home’s rights in every such agreement or that Vivint Smart Home has executed an agreement with every such party. Finally, in order to benefit from the protection of patents and other intellectual property rights, Vivint Smart Home must monitor and detect infringement, misappropriation or other violations of Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property rights and pursue infringement, misappropriation or other claims in certain circumstances in relevant jurisdictions, all of which are costly and time-consuming. As a result, Vivint Smart Home may not be able to obtain adequate protection or to effectively enforce Vivint Smart Home’s issued patents or other intellectual property rights.

In addition to patents and registered trademarks, Vivint Smart Home relies on trade secret rights, copyrights and other rights to protect Vivint Smart Home’s unpatented proprietary intellectual property and technology. Despite Vivint Smart Home’s efforts to protect Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary technologies and Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties, including Vivint Smart Home’s employees, consultants, service providers or subscribers, may attempt to copy aspects of Vivint Smart Home’s products or obtain and use Vivint Smart Home’s trade secrets or other confidential information. Vivint Smart Home generally enters into confidentiality agreements with Vivint Smart Home’s employees and third parties that have access to Vivint Smart Home’s material confidential information, and generally limits access to and distribution of Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary information and proprietary technology through certain procedural safeguards. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property or technology, could be breached or otherwise may not provide meaningful protection for Vivint Smart Home’s trade secrets and know-how related to the design, manufacture or operation of Vivint Smart Home’s products and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Vivint Smart Home cannot assure you that the steps taken by Vivint Smart Home will prevent misappropriation of Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property or technology or infringement of Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property rights. Competitors may independently develop technologies or products that are substantially equivalent or superior to Vivint Smart Home’s solutions or that inappropriately incorporate Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary technology into their products or they may hire Vivint Smart Home’s former employees who may misappropriate Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary technology or misuse Vivint Smart Home’s confidential information. In addition, if Vivint Smart Home expands the geography of Vivint Smart Home’s service offerings, the laws of some foreign countries where Vivint Smart Home may do business in the future do not protect intellectual property rights and technology to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and these countries may not enforce these laws as diligently as government agencies and private parties in the United States.

From time to time, legal action by Vivint Smart Home may be necessary to enforce Vivint Smart Home’s patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect Vivint Smart Home’s trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement, misappropriation or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, operating results and financial condition. If Vivint Smart Home is unable to protect Vivint Smart Home’s intellectual property and technology, Vivint Smart Home may find itself at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense, time and effort required to create the innovative products that have enabled Vivint Smart Home to be successful to date.

From time to time, Vivint Smart Home is subject to claims for infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others, and will be subject to such claims in the future, which could have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business and operations.

Vivint Smart Home cannot be certain that Vivint Smart Home’s products and services or those of third parties that Vivint Smart Home incorporates into Vivint Smart Home’s offerings do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Many of Vivint Smart Home’s competitors and others may now and in the

Table of Contents

future have significantly larger and more mature patent portfolios than Vivint Smart Home has. Vivint Smart Home has been in the past, and may be in the future, subject to claims based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of the intellectual property rights of others, including litigation brought by special purpose or so-called “non-practicing” entities that focus solely on extracting royalties and settlements by enforcing intellectual property rights and against whom Vivint Smart Home’s patents may therefore provide little or no deterrence or protection. Regardless of their merits, intellectual property claims divert the attention of Vivint Smart Home’s personnel and are often time-consuming and expensive. In addition, to the extent claims against Vivint Smart Home are successful, Vivint Smart Home may have to pay substantial monetary damages (including, for example, treble damages if Vivint Smart Home is found to have willfully infringed patents and increased statutory damages if Vivint Smart Home is found to have willfully infringed copyrights) or discontinue or modify certain products or services that are found to infringe another party’s rights or enter into licensing agreements with costly royalty payments. Defending against claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations or being deemed to be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others could impair Vivint Smart Home’s ability to innovate, develop, distribute and sell Vivint Smart Home’s current and planned products and services. Vivint Smart Home has in the past and will continue in the future to seek one or more licenses to continue offering certain products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

In some cases, Vivint Smart Home indemnifies Vivint Smart Home’s channel partners against claims that Vivint Smart Home’s products infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties. Such claims could arise out of Vivint Smart Home’s indemnification obligation with Vivint Smart Home’s channel partners and end-subscribers, whom Vivint Smart Home typically indemnifies against such claims. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of Vivint Smart Home’s confidential information could be compromised by the discovery process. Although claims of this kind have not materially affected Vivint Smart Home’s business to date, there can be no assurance material claims will not arise in the future.

Although third parties may offer a license to their technology or other intellectual property, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable, and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition and results of operations to be materially and adversely affected. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore Vivint Smart Home’s competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to Vivint Smart Home. If a third party does not offer Vivint Smart Home a license to its technology or other intellectual property on reasonable terms, or at all, Vivint Smart Home could be enjoined from continued use of such intellectual property. As a result, Vivint Smart Home may be required to develop alternative, non-infringing technology, which could require significant time (during which Vivint Smart Home could be unable to continue to offer Vivint Smart Home’s affected products, subscriptions or services), effort, and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment or Vivint Smart Home may agree to a settlement that prevents Vivint Smart Home from distributing certain products, providing certain subscriptions or performing certain services or that requires Vivint Smart Home to pay substantial damages, royalties or other fees. Any of these events could harm Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s solutions contain third-party open-source software components, and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open-source software licenses could restrict Vivint Smart Home’s ability to sell Vivint Smart Home’s products and subscriptions.

Certain of Vivint Smart Home’s solutions contain software modules licensed to Vivint Smart Home by third-party authors under “open-source” licenses. The use and distribution of open-source software may entail greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code.

Some open-source licenses contain requirements that Vivint Smart Home make available the source code for modifications or derivative works Vivint Smart Home creates based upon the type of open-source software

Table of Contents

Vivint Smart Home uses. If Vivint Smart Home combines Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary software with open-source software in a certain manner, Vivint Smart Home could, under certain open-source licenses, be required to release the source code of Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary software to the public. This would allow Vivint Smart Home’s competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of sales for Vivint Smart Home.

Although Vivint Smart Home monitors Vivint Smart Home’s use of open-source software and tries to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require Vivint Smart Home to disclose Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open-source agreement, the terms of many open-source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in ways that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on Vivint Smart Home’s ability to commercialize solutions incorporating such software. Moreover, Vivint Smart Home cannot assure you that Vivint Smart Home’s processes for controlling Vivint Smart Home’s use of open-source software in Vivint Smart Home’s solutions will be effective. From time to time, Vivint Smart Home may face claims from third parties asserting ownership of, or demanding release of, the open-source software or derivative works that Vivint Smart Home developed using such software (which could include Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary source code), or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open-source license. These claims could result in litigation. If Vivint Smart Home is held to have breached the terms of an open-source software license, Vivint Smart Home could be required to seek licenses from third parties to continue offering Vivint Smart Home’s products on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer Vivint Smart Home’s products, to discontinue the sale of Vivint Smart Home’s products if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely or cost-effective basis, or to make generally available, in source-code form, Vivint Smart Home’s proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

If Vivint Smart Home fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting at a reasonable assurance level, Vivint Smart Home may not be able to accurately report Vivint Smart Home’s financial results, which could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s operations, investor confidence in Vivint Smart Home’s business and the trading prices of Vivint Smart Home’s securities.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If material weaknesses in Vivint Smart Home’s internal controls are discovered, they may adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to record, process, summarize and accurately report timely financial information and, as a result, Vivint Smart Home’s financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions.

In addition, it is possible that control deficiencies could be identified by Vivint Smart Home’s management or by Vivint Smart Home’s independent registered public accounting firm in the future or may occur without being identified. Such a failure could result in regulatory scrutiny and cause investors to lose confidence in Vivint Smart Home’s reported financial condition, lead to a default under Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness and otherwise have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations.

Product or service defects or shortfalls in subscriber service could have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home.

Vivint Smart Home’s inability to provide products or services in a timely manner or defects in Vivint Smart Home’s products or services, including products and services of third parties that Vivint Smart Home incorporate into Vivint Smart Home’s offerings, could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s reputation and subject Vivint Smart Home to claims or litigation. In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s inability to meet subscribers’ expectations with respect to Vivint Smart Home’s products or services could increase attrition rates or affect Vivint Smart Home’s ability to generate new subscribers and thereby have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home is exposed to greater risk of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failure than may be inherent in other businesses.

The nature of the products and services Vivint Smart Home provides potentially exposes Vivint Smart Home to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures than may be inherent in other businesses. If subscribers believe that they incurred losses as a result of Vivint Smart Home’s action or inaction, the subscribers (or their insurers) have and could in the future bring claims against Vivint Smart Home. Although Vivint Smart Home’s service contracts contain provisions limiting Vivint Smart Home’s liability for such claims, no assurance can be given that these limitations will be enforced, and the costs of such litigation or the related settlements or judgments could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that Vivint Smart Home is adequately insured for these risks. Certain of Vivint Smart Home’s insurance policies and the laws of some states may limit or prohibit insurance coverage for punitive or certain other types of damages or liability arising from gross negligence. If significant uninsured damages are assessed against Vivint Smart Home, the resulting liability could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Future transactions could pose risks.

Vivint Smart Home frequently evaluates strategic opportunities both within and outside Vivint Smart Home’s existing lines of business. Vivint Smart Home expects from time to time to pursue additional business opportunities and may decide to eliminate or acquire certain businesses, products or services. For example, in August 2014, Vivint Smart Home acquired Space Monkey, a distributed cloud storage technology solution company. Such acquisitions or dispositions could be material. There are various risks and uncertainties associated with potential acquisitions and divestitures, including: (1) availability of financing; (2) difficulties related to integrating previously separate businesses into a single unit, including product and service offerings, distribution and operational capabilities and business cultures; (3) general business disruption; (4) managing the integration process; (5) diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations, (6) assumption of costs and liabilities of an acquired business, including unforeseen or contingent liabilities or liabilities in excess of the amounts estimated; (7) failure to realize anticipated benefits and synergies, such as cost savings and revenue enhancements; (8) potentially substantial costs and expenses associated with acquisitions and dispositions; (9) failure to retain and motivate key employees; and (10) difficulties in applying Vivint Smart Home’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures to an acquired business. Any or all of these risks and uncertainties, individually or collectively, could have material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations. Vivint Smart Home can offer no assurance that any such strategic opportunities will prove to be successful. Among other negative effects, Vivint Smart Home’s pursuit of such opportunities could cause Vivint Smart Home’s cost of investment in new subscribers to grow at a faster rate than Vivint Smart Home’s recurring revenue and fees collected at the time of installation. Additionally, any new product or service offerings could require developmental investments or have higher cost structures than Vivint Smart Home’s current arrangements, which could reduce operating margins and require more working capital.

Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets represent a significant portion of Vivint Smart Home’s total assets, and Vivint Smart Home may never realize the full value of Vivint Smart Home’s intangible assets.

As of September 30, 2019, Vivint Smart Home had approximately $1.0 billion of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. In addition, as of September 30, 2019, Vivint Smart Home had $1.2 billion of capitalized contract costs, net. Vivint Smart Home reviews such assets for impairment at least annually. Impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in performance, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of or affect the products and services Vivint Smart Home offers, challenges to the validity of certain intellectual property, reduced sales of certain products or services incorporating intellectual property, increased attrition and a variety of other factors. The amount of any

Table of Contents

quantified impairment must be expensed immediately as a charge to results of operations. Depending on future circumstances, it is possible that Vivint Smart Home may never realize the full value of Vivint Smart Home’s intangible assets. Any future determination of impairment of goodwill or other identifiable intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s financial position and results of operations.

Insurance policies may not cover all of Vivint Smart Home’s operating risks and a casualty loss beyond the limits of Vivint Smart Home’s coverage could negatively impact Vivint Smart Home’s business.

Vivint Smart Home is subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to the provision of Vivint Smart Home’s products and services and business operations. In addition to contractual provisions limiting Vivint Smart Home’s liability to subscribers and third parties, Vivint Smart Home maintains insurance policies in such amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as required by law and that Vivint Smart Home believe are reasonable and prudent. See “—Vivint Smart Home is exposed to greater risk of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failure than may be inherent in other businesses”. Nevertheless, such insurance may not be adequate to protect Vivint Smart Home from all the liabilities and expenses that may arise from claims for personal injury, death or property damage arising in the ordinary course of Vivint Smart Home’s business and current levels of insurance may not be able to be maintained or be available at economical prices. If a significant liability claim is brought against Vivint Smart Home that is not covered by insurance, then Vivint Smart Home may have to pay the claim with Vivint Smart Home’s own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Vivint Smart Home’s business is concentrated in certain markets.

Vivint Smart Home’s business is concentrated in certain markets. As of September 30, 2019, subscribers in Texas and California represented approximately 19% and 9%, respectively, of Vivint Smart Home’s total subscriber base. Accordingly, Vivint Smart Home’s business and results of operations are particularly susceptible to adverse economic, weather and other conditions in such markets and in other markets that may become similarly concentrated.

Catastrophic events may disrupt Vivint Smart Home’s business.

Unforeseen events, or the prospect of such events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues including health epidemics or pandemics and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or other adverse weather and climate conditions, whether occurring in the United States, Canada or elsewhere, could disrupt Vivint Smart Home’s operations, disrupt the operations of suppliers or subscribers or result in political or economic instability. These events could reduce demand for Vivint Smart Home’s products and services, make it difficult or impossible to receive equipment from suppliers or impair Vivint Smart Home’s ability to deliver products and services to subscribers on a timely basis. Any such disruption could damage Vivint Smart Home’s reputation and cause subscriber attrition. Vivint Smart Home could be subject to claims or litigation with respect to losses caused by such disruptions. Vivint Smart Home’s property and business interruption insurance may not cover a particular event at all or be sufficient to fully cover Vivint Smart Home’s losses.

If the insurance industry changes its practice of providing incentives to homeowners for the use of residential electronic security services, Vivint Smart Home may experience a reduction in new subscriber growth or an increase in Vivint Smart Home’s subscriber attrition rate.

Some insurers provide a reduction in premium rates for insurance policies written on homes that have monitored electronic security systems. There can be no assurance that insurance companies will continue to offer these rate reductions. If these incentives were reduced or eliminated, homeowners who otherwise may not feel the need for Vivint Smart Home’s products or services would be removed from Vivint Smart Home’s potential subscriber pool, which could hinder the growth of Vivint Smart Home’s business, and existing subscribers may

 

53


Table of Contents

choose to cancel or not renew their contracts, which could increase Vivint Smart Home’s attrition rates. In either case, Vivint Smart Home’s results of operations and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

Vivint Smart Home has recorded net losses in the past and Vivint Smart Home may experience net losses in the future.

Vivint Smart Home has recorded consolidated net losses of $353.0 million and $307.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively, as well as $276.0 million, $410.2 million and $472.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Vivint Smart Home may likely continue to record net losses in future periods.

The nature of Vivint Smart Home’s business requires the application of complex revenue and expense recognition rules, and the current legislative and regulatory environment affecting generally accepted accounting principles is uncertain. Significant changes in current principles could affect Vivint Smart Home’s financial statements going forward and changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and harm Vivint Smart Home’s operating results.

The accounting rules and regulations that Vivint Smart Home must comply with are complex and subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the SEC and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. Recent actions and public comments from the FASB and the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting and internal controls. In addition, many companies’ accounting policies are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. Further, the accounting rules and regulations are continually changing in ways that could materially impact Vivint Smart Home’s financial statements. For example, in May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended, which superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Vivint Smart Home adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, utilizing a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures.

Risks Relating to Vivint Smart Home’s Indebtedness

Vivint Smart Home’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition.

Vivint Smart Home has substantial indebtedness. Net cash interest paid for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, related to Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness (excluding capital leases) totaled $203.4 million, $236.7 million and $162.3 million, respectively. Vivint Smart Home’s net cash from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, before these interest payments, was an outflow of $105.9 million, an inflow of $16.2 million and an inflow of $39.6 million, respectively. Accordingly, Vivint Smart Home’s net cash from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was insufficient to cover these interest payments.

As of September 30, 2019, Vivint Smart Home had approximately $3.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of total debt outstanding, all of which was issued or borrowed by APX and guaranteed by APX Group Holdings, Inc. and by substantially all of APX’s domestic subsidiaries, $2.3 billion of which was secured debt, which requires significant interest and principal payments. Subject to the limits contained in the agreements governing Vivint Smart Home’s existing indebtedness, Vivint Smart Home may be able to incur substantial additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. If Vivint Smart Home does so, the risks related to Vivint Smart Home’s high level of debt could increase. Specifically, Vivint Smart Home’s high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

 

   

making it more difficult for Vivint Smart Home to satisfy Vivint Smart Home’s obligations with respect to Vivint Smart Home’s debt;

 

54


Table of Contents
   

limiting Vivint Smart Home’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements;

 

   

requiring a substantial portion of Vivint Smart Home’s cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flows and future borrowings available for working capital, capital expenditures (including subscriber acquisition costs), acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

 

   

increasing Vivint Smart Home’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

exposing Vivint Smart Home to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of Vivint Smart Home’s borrowings are at variable rates of interest;

 

   

limiting Vivint Smart Home’s flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which Vivint Smart Home competes;

 

   

placing Vivint Smart Home at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and

 

   

increasing Vivint Smart Home’s cost of borrowing.

Vivint Smart Home may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future.

Despite Vivint Smart Home’s current level of indebtedness, Vivint Smart Home may be able to incur substantially more debt and enter into other transactions, which could further exacerbate the risks to Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition described above. As of September 30, 2019, Vivint Smart Home had $140.4 million of availability under the revolving credit facility (after giving effect to $13.8 million of letters of credit outstanding and $134.0 million of borrowings). Vivint Smart Home is still permitted to add, in addition to the revolving credit facility, incremental facilities of up to $225 million, subject to certain conditions being satisfied. Under both the Term Loan Agreement and revolving credit facility, up to $60 million may be incurred on the same “superpriority” basis as the revolving credit facility. Moreover, although the debt agreements governing Vivint Smart Home’s existing indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and entering into certain types of other transactions, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions. Additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. These restrictions also do not prevent Vivint Smart Home from incurring obligations, such as trade payables, that do not constitute indebtedness as defined under Vivint Smart Home’s debt instruments. To the extent new debt is added to Vivint Smart Home’s current debt levels, the substantial leverage risks described in the previous risk factor would increase. In addition, the exceptions to the restrictive covenants permit Vivint Smart Home to enter into certain other transactions.

Accordingly, subject to market conditions, Vivint Smart Home opportunistically seeks to access the credit and capital markets from time to time, whether to refinance or retire Vivint Smart Home’s existing indebtedness, for the investment in and operation of Vivint Smart Home’s business, or for other general corporate purposes. Such transactions may take the form of new or amended senior secured credit facilities, including term or revolving loans, secured or unsecured notes and/or other instruments or indebtedness. These transactions may result in an increase in Vivint Smart Home’s total indebtedness, secured indebtedness and/or debt service costs.

Vivint Smart Home’s variable rate indebtedness subjects Vivint Smart Home to interest rate risk, which could cause Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under Vivint Smart Home’s revolving credit facility are at variable rates of interest and expose Vivint Smart Home to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, Vivint Smart Home’s debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and Vivint Smart Home’s net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness, would correspondingly decrease.

Vivint Smart Home may be unable to service Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness.

Vivint Smart Home’s ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness depends on and is subject to Vivint Smart Home’s financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors beyond Vivint Smart Home’s control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets. Vivint Smart Home cannot assure you that Vivint Smart Home’s business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to Vivint Smart Home in an amount sufficient to enable Vivint Smart Home to service Vivint Smart Home’s debt, to refinance Vivint Smart Home’s debt or to fund Vivint Smart Home’s other liquidity needs (including funding subscriber acquisition costs).

If Vivint Smart Home is unable to meet Vivint Smart Home’s debt service obligations or to fund Vivint Smart Home’s other liquidity needs, Vivint Smart Home will need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of Vivint Smart Home’s debt, which could cause Vivint Smart Home to default on Vivint Smart Home’s debt obligations and impair Vivint Smart Home’s liquidity. Any refinancing of Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require Vivint Smart Home to comply with more onerous covenants that could further restrict Vivint Smart Home’s business operations.

Moreover, in the event of a default, the holders of Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The lenders under Vivint Smart Home’s revolving credit facility could also elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans, and institute foreclosure proceedings against their collateral, and Vivint Smart Home could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If Vivint Smart Home breach Vivint Smart Home’s covenants under Vivint Smart Home’s revolving credit facility, Vivint Smart Home would be in default under Vivint Smart Home’s revolving credit facility. The lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and Vivint Smart Home could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

The debt agreements governing Vivint Smart Home’s existing indebtedness impose significant operating and financial restrictions on Vivint Smart Home and Vivint Smart Home’s subsidiaries, which may prevent Vivint Smart Home from capitalizing on business opportunities.

The debt agreements governing Vivint Smart Home’s existing indebtedness impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the subsidiaries of Vivint Smart Home party thereto. Following the consummation of the merger, New Vivint expects to guarantee the obligations under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the notes. These restrictions limit Vivint Smart Home’s ability to, among other things:

 

   

incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

 

   

pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

incur certain liens;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

   

merge or consolidate;

 

   

materially change the nature of Vivint Smart Home’s business;

 

   

amend, prepay, redeem or purchase certain subordinated debt;

 

   

enter into agreements that restrict the ability of certain subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to Vivint Smart Home; and

 

   

transfer or sell assets.

 

56


Table of Contents

In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s revolving credit facility requires that Vivint Smart Home maintain a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of not more than 5.35 to 1.0 on the last day of each applicable test period.

As a result of these restrictions, Vivint Smart Home is limited as to how Vivint Smart Home conducts Vivint Smart Home’s business and Vivint Smart Home may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness Vivint Smart Home may incur could include more restrictive covenants. Vivint Smart Home cannot assure you that Vivint Smart Home will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if Vivint Smart Home fails to do so, that Vivint Smart Home will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.

Vivint Smart Home’s failure to comply with the restrictive covenants described above as well as other terms of Vivint Smart Home’s existing indebtedness and/or the terms of any future indebtedness from time to time could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in Vivint Smart Home’s being required to repay these borrowings before their due date. If Vivint Smart Home is forced to refinance these borrowings on less favorable terms or cannot refinance these borrowings, Vivint Smart Home’s results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Vivint Smart Home’s failure to comply with the agreements relating to Vivint Smart Home’s outstanding indebtedness, including as a result of events beyond Vivint Smart Home’s control, could result in an event of default that could materially and adversely affect Vivint Smart Home’s results of operations and Vivint Smart Home’s financial condition.

If there were an event of default under any of the agreements relating to Vivint Smart Home’s outstanding indebtedness, the holders of the defaulted debt could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately. Vivint Smart Home cannot assure you that Vivint Smart Home’s assets or cash flows would be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under Vivint Smart Home’s outstanding debt instruments if accelerated upon an event of default. Further, if Vivint Smart Home is unable to repay, refinance or restructure Vivint Smart Home’s indebtedness under Vivint Smart Home’s secured debt, the holders of such debt could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, any event of default or declaration of acceleration under one debt instrument could also result in an event of default under one or more of Vivint Smart Home’s other debt instruments.

Risks Relating to the Merger

Because the market price of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock will fluctuate, Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders cannot be sure of the value of the merger consideration they will receive.

Upon completion of the merger, each share of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock will convert into a number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock will be converted into the right to receive, 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock. The merger consideration that Vivint Smart Home stockholders will receive is a fixed number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock; it is not a number of shares with a particular fixed market value. See “The Merger—Terms of the Merger” beginning on page 231. The market value of Mosaic Class A common stock and Vivint Smart Home stock at the effective time of the merger may vary significantly from their respective values on the date the merger agreement was executed or at other dates, including the date on which Vivint Smart Home stockholders provide written consent to the adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Because the exchange ratio is fixed at 84.5320916792 and will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market value of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock or Vivint Smart Home common stock, the market value of the shares of Mosaic Class A common stock issued in connection with the merger and the Vivint Smart Home common stock converted in connection with the merger may be higher or lower than the values of those shares on earlier dates, and may be higher or lower than the value used to determine the exchange ratio. Accordingly, at

 

57


Table of Contents

the time of providing written consent to the Vivint Merger Proposal, Vivint Smart Home stockholders will not know or be able to calculate the market value of the shares of Mosaic Class A common stock they would receive upon the completion of the merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including changes in the business, operations or prospects of Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home, regulatory considerations, and general business, market, industry or economic conditions. Many of these factors are outside of the control of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home.

Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the merger and will exercise less influence over management.

Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the Vivint Smart Home board of directors and on other matters requiring stockholder approval under Delaware law and Vivint Smart Home’s charter and bylaws. Upon the completion of the merger, Vivint Smart Home stockholders who become stockholders of New Vivint Parent will have a percentage ownership of New Vivint Parent that is smaller than such stockholders’ percentage ownership of Vivint Smart Home. Additionally, two of the expected members of the New Vivint Parent board of directors following the merger will be current directors of Mosaic or appointed by current stockholders of Mosaic. Based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, Vivint Smart Home common stock, Vivint Smart Home preferred stock and the number of outstanding Vivint Group, Inc. stock appreciation rights, restricted stock unit awards and long-term incentive plan awards on November 19, 2019, and based on the exchange ratio, stockholders of Vivint Smart Home, as a group, will receive shares in the merger constituting up to approximately 61% of New Vivint’s common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the merger (without giving effect to any shares of Mosaic common stock held by Vivint Smart Home stockholders prior to the merger). Because of this, current Vivint Smart Home stockholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management and policies of New Vivint than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of Vivint Smart Home.

Mosaic stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the merger and will exercise less influence over management.

Upon the issuance of the shares to Vivint Smart Home stockholders, current Mosaic stockholders’ percentage ownership will be diluted. Assuming no public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, that all Additional Fortress Investment Shares are purchased as newly issued shares at a price per share of $10.00 and excluding any shares issuable pursuant to Mosaic’s outstanding warrants, current Mosaic stockholders’ percentage ownership in New Vivint Parent following the issuance of shares to Vivint Smart Home stockholders would be 18.6%. Assuming that 10,349,999 public shares (the maximum number of public shares that could be redeemed in connection with the merger in order to satisfy the Maximum Redemption Condition) are redeemed in connection with the merger, that all Additional Fortress Investment Shares are purchased in the open market prior to the redemption date at an average price of $10.00 per share and excluding any shares issuable pursuant to Mosaic’s outstanding warrants, current Mosaic stockholders’ percentage ownership in New Vivint Parent following the issuance of shares to Vivint Smart Home stockholders would be 11.3%. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home may waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, such that current Mosaic stockholders’ ownership percentage is further decreased. Additionally, of the expected members of the New Vivint Parent board of directors after the completion of the merger, only two will be current directors of Mosaic or appointed by current stockholders of Mosaic and the rest will be current directors of Vivint Smart Home or appointed by current stockholders of Vivint Smart Home. The percentage of New Vivint’s common stock that will be owned by current Mosaic stockholders as a group will vary based on the number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the merger. To illustrate the potential ownership percentages of current Mosaic stockholders under different redemption levels, based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, Vivint Smart Home common stock and Vivint Smart Home preferred stock on November 27, 2019, and based on the exchange ratio, current Mosaic stockholders, as a group, will own (1) if there are no redemptions, 18.6% of New Vivint’s

 

58


Table of Contents

common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the merger, (2) if there are redemptions of 30% of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock and that all Additional Fortress Investment Shares are purchased in the open market prior to the redemption date at an average price of $10.00 per share, 11.3% of New Vivint’s common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the merger or (3) if there are redemptions of approximately 98.5% of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, 0.3% of New Vivint’s common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the merger. Because of this, current Mosaic stockholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management and policies of New Vivint than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of Mosaic. See “Other AgreementsStockholders Agreement” beginning on page 286 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The market price of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the prices of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock.

Upon completion of the merger, holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock will become holders of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock. Prior to the merger, Mosaic has had limited operations. Upon completion of the merger, New Vivint’s results of operations will depend upon the performance of Vivint Smart Home’s businesses, which are affected by factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of Mosaic.

Mosaic has not obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, and consequently, there is no assurance from an independent source that the merger consideration is fair to its stockholders from a financial point of view.

Mosaic is not required to, and has not, obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the merger consideration it is paying for Vivint Smart Home is fair to Mosaic’s stockholders from a financial point of view. The fair market value of Vivint Smart Home has been determined by Mosaic’s board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as potential sales and the price for which comparable businesses or assets have been valued. Mosaic’s stockholders will be relying on the judgment of its board of directors with respect to such matters.

If the merger’s benefits do not meet the expectations of financial analysts, the market price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock may decline.

The market price of the New Vivint Parent Class A common stock may decline as a result of the merger if New Vivint does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly, or to the extent anticipated by, financial analysts or the effect of the merger on New Vivint’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial analysts. Accordingly, holders of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock may experience a loss as a result of a decline in the market price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock. In addition, a decline in the market price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock could adversely affect New Vivint’s ability to issue additional securities and to obtain additional financing in the future.

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met.

Before the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement can be completed, approval must be obtained under the HSR Act. In deciding whether to grant antitrust clearance, the relevant governmental authorities will consider a variety of factors, including the effect of the merger on competition within their relevant jurisdiction. The terms and conditions of the approvals that are granted may impose requirements, limitations or costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of New Vivint’s business. The requirements, limitations or costs imposed by the relevant governmental authorities could delay the closing of the merger or diminish the anticipated benefits of the merger. Additionally, the completion of the merger is conditioned on the absence of certain orders, injunctions or decrees by any court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction that would prohibit or make illegal the completion of the merger. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home believe that the merger should not raise significant regulatory concerns and that Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home will be able to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals in a timely manner. However, Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home cannot be certain when or if regulatory approvals will be obtained or, if obtained, the conditions that may imposed. In addition, neither Mosaic nor

 

59


Table of Contents

Vivint Smart Home can provide assurance that any such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in delay. See “Regulatory Approvals Required For The Merger” beginning on page 255.

The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be completed.

The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include: approval of the merger agreement by Vivint Smart Home stockholders, approval of the proposals required to effect the merger by Mosaic stockholders, as well as receipt of certain requisite regulatory approvals, absence of orders prohibiting completion of the merger, effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is a part, approval of the shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued to Vivint Smart Home stockholders for listing on the NYSE, meeting the Maximum Redemption Condition, the accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the merger agreement) and the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements. These conditions to the closing of the merger may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the merger may not be completed. In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the merger agreement at any time, before or after stockholder approval, or Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home may elect to terminate the merger agreement in certain other circumstances. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination—Company Termination Fee” beginning on page 282.

Termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic.

If the merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of Vivint Smart Home stockholders declining to adopt the merger agreement or Mosaic stockholders declining to approve the proposals required to effect the merger, the ongoing businesses of Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger, Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

 

   

Vivint Smart Home or Mosaic may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on its stock price (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed);

 

   

Vivint Smart Home may experience negative reactions from its customers, vendors and employees;

 

   

Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the merger, whether or not the merger is completed; and

 

   

since the merger agreement restricts the conduct of Vivint Smart Home’s and Mosaic’s businesses prior to completion of the merger, each of Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the merger that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available (see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements” beginning on page 264 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic).

If the merger agreement is terminated and Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, Vivint Smart Home stockholders cannot be certain that Vivint Smart Home will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration Mosaic has agreed to provide in the merger or that such other merger or business combination is completed. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, Vivint Smart Home will be required to pay a termination fee of $32,380,000 to Mosaic. If the merger agreement is terminated and Mosaic’s board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, Mosaic stockholders cannot be certain that Mosaic will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute a business combination that such other merger or business combination will be completed. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination—Company Termination Fee” on page 282.

Table of Contents

Vivint Smart Home will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Vivint Smart Home and consequently on Mosaic. These uncertainties may impair Vivint Smart Home’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with Vivint Smart Home to seek to change existing business relationships with Vivint Smart Home. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the merger, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, New Vivint’s business following the merger could be negatively impacted. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Vivint Smart Home from making certain expenditures and taking other specified actions without the consent of Mosaic until the merger occurs. These restrictions may prevent Vivint Smart Home from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. See “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements” beginning on page 264.

Vivint Smart Home directors and officers may have interests in the merger different from the interests of Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders.

Executive officers of Vivint Smart Home negotiated the terms of the merger agreement with their counterparts at Mosaic, and the Vivint Smart Home board of directors determined that entering into the merger agreement was in the best interests of Vivint Smart Home and its stockholders, declared the merger agreement advisable and recommended that Vivint Smart Home stockholders adopt the merger agreement. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, you should be aware that Vivint Smart Home’s executive officers and directors may have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Vivint Smart Home stockholders. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the merger and in recommending to Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders that they vote to approve the merger. For a detailed discussion of the special interests that Vivint Smart Home’s directors and executive officers may have in the merger, please see the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Vivint Smart Home Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 252.

Mosaic directors and officers may have interests in the merger different from the interests of Mosaic Stockholders.

Executive officers of Mosaic negotiated the terms of the merger agreement with their counterparts at Vivint Smart Home, and the Mosaic board of directors determined that entering into the merger agreement was in the best interests of Mosaic and its stockholders, declared the merger agreement advisable and recommended that Mosaic stockholders approve the proposals required to effect the merger. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, you should be aware that Mosaic’s executive officers and directors may have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Mosaic stockholders. The Mosaic board of directors and the audit committee thereof was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the merger and in recommending to Mosaic’s stockholders that they vote to approve the merger. For a detailed discussion of the special interests that Mosaic’s directors and executive officers may have in the merger, please see the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Mosaic’s Directors and Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 251.

The merger will result in changes to the board of directors of New Vivint Parent that may affect the strategy of New Vivint.

If the parties complete the merger, the composition of New Vivint Parent board of directors will change from the current boards of directors of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home. The board of directors of New Vivint

Table of Contents

Parent will consist of David F. D’Alessandro, Alex J. Dunn, Paul S. Galant, Bruce McEvoy, Jay D. Pauley, Todd R. Pedersen, Joseph S. Tibbetts, Peter Wallace, David M. Maura and a representative of The SoftBank Vision Fund that is expected to be designated, subject to regulatory approval, after the completion of the merger. This new composition of the New Vivint Parent board of directors may affect the business strategy and operating decisions of New Vivint upon the completion of the merger.

The merger agreement contains provisions that may discourage other companies from trying to acquire Vivint Smart Home for greater merger consideration.

The merger agreement contains provisions that may discourage a third party from submitting a business combination proposal to Vivint Smart Home that might result in greater value to Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders than the merger or may result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire Vivint Smart Home than it might otherwise have proposed to pay absent such provisions. These provisions include a general prohibition on Vivint Smart Home from soliciting, or, subject to certain exceptions relating to the exercise of fiduciary duties by Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors, entering into discussions with any third party regarding any acquisition proposal or offers for competing transactions. Vivint Smart Home also has an unqualified obligation to submit the proposal to adopt the merger agreement to a vote by its stockholders, even if Vivint Smart Home receives an alternative acquisition proposal that its board of directors believes is superior to the merger, unless the merger agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms. In addition, Vivint Smart Home will be required to pay Mosaic a termination fee of $32,380,000 upon termination of the merger agreement in certain specified circumstances involving acquisition proposals for competing transactions. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination—Company Termination Fee” beginning on page 282.

The merger agreement contains provisions that may discourage Mosaic from seeking an alternative business combination.

The merger agreement contains provisions that prohibit Mosaic from seeking alternative business combinations during the pendency of the merger. Further, if Mosaic is unable to obtain the requisite approval of its stockholders, either party may terminate the merger agreement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the merger may differ materially.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what New Vivint’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the merger been completed on the date(s) indicated. The preparation of the pro forma financial information is based upon available information and certain assumptions and estimates that Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home currently believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, among other things, to allocate the purchase price to Vivint Smart Home’s net assets. The purchase price allocation reflected in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is preliminary, and the final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Vivint Smart Home as of the date of the completion of the merger. In addition, following the completion of the merger, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” beginning on page 72.

Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home will incur transaction costs in connection with the merger.

Each of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home has incurred and expects that it will incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the merger. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home will also incur significant legal, financial advisor, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the merger. Mosaic estimates that it will incur approximately $12 million in deferred underwriting fees and $10 million in transaction costs. Vivint estimates that it will incur approximately $16 million in transaction costs associated with the merger. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the merger is completed. See “The Merger—Terms of the Merger” beginning on page 231.

Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders will have their rights as stockholders governed by New Vivint Parent’s organizational documents.

As a result of the completion of the merger, holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock may become holders of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, which will be governed by New Vivint Parent’s organizational documents. As a result, there will be differences between the rights currently enjoyed by Vivint Smart Home stockholders and the rights that Vivint Smart Home stockholders who become New Vivint Parent stockholders will have as stockholders of New Vivint Parent. See “Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights” beginning on page 298.

The Sponsors have agreed to vote in favor of the proposals at the Mosaic Special Meeting, regardless of how public stockholders vote.

As of the date hereof, the Founder Shares owned by Mosaic’s Sponsors represent approximately 20% of the voting power of the outstanding Mosaic common stock. Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares held by them in favor of each of the proposals at the Mosaic Special Meeting, regardless of how public stockholders vote. Accordingly, the agreement by the Sponsors to vote in favor of each of the proposals at the Mosaic Special Meeting will increase the likelihood that Mosaic will receive the requisite stockholder approval for the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Vivint Smart Home’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be limited as a result of future changes in the ownership of its stock.

As of December 31, 2018, Vivint Smart Home had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $2.4 billion available to offset future taxable income. These NOLs are currently subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code, as a result of an “ownership change” (as defined in Section 382 of the Code) that occurred in 2012, (the “2012 Limitation”). Under Section 382 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change federal NOLs to offset future taxable income. However, Vivint Smart Home’s NOLs are subject to a full valuation allowance, as Vivint Smart Home expects that it will not have sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the NOLs before they expire. In addition, Vivint Smart Home’s ability to use its NOLs may be further limited if it undergoes a subsequent “ownership change”, including any such “ownership change” that is caused in part by the merger, that causes the NOLs to be subject to a greater limitation than the 2012 Limitation.

An ownership change could be triggered by substantial changes in the ownership of Vivint Smart Home’s outstanding stock, including as a result of the merger or subsequent changes in ownership involving the stock of New Vivint Parent. For example, an ownership change would occur if certain stockholders increase their aggregate percentage ownership of Vivint Smart Home stock by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest percentage ownership at any time during the testing period, which is generally the three-year period preceding any potential ownership change. As a result of the possibility of such an ownership change, Vivint Smart Home cannot be sure that the full amount of the existing NOLs will be available, even if Vivint Smart Home generates taxable income before their expiration.

Additional Risks Relating to Ownership of New Vivint Common Stock Following the Merger

New Vivint Parent’s stock price may change significantly following the merger and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

The trading price of the New Vivint Parent Class A common stock is likely to be volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed in “—Risks Relating to Vivint Smart Home’s Business and Industry” and the following:

 

   

results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

 

   

results of operations that vary from those of New Vivint’s competitors;

 

   

changes in expectations as to New Vivint’s future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;

 

   

declines in the market prices of stocks generally;

 

   

strategic actions by New Vivint or its competitors;

 

   

announcements by New Vivint or its competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;

 

   

any significant change in New Vivint’s management;

 

   

changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in New Vivint’s industry or markets;

 

   

changes in business or regulatory conditions, including new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to New Vivint’s business;

 

   

future sales of New Vivint’s common stock or other securities;

 

   

investor perceptions or the investment opportunity associated with New Vivint’s common stock relative to other investment alternatives;

 

   

the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by New Vivint or third parties, including New Vivint Parent’s filings with the SEC;

 

   

litigation involving New Vivint, New Vivint’s industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into New Vivint’s operations or those of New Vivint’s competitors;

 

   

guidance, if any, that New Vivint provides to the public, any changes in this guidance or New Vivint’s failure to meet this guidance;

 

   

the development and sustainability of an active trading market for New Vivint Parent’s stock;

 

   

actions by institutional or activist stockholders;

 

   

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles; and

 

   

other events or factors, including those resulting from natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock, regardless of New Vivint’s actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock is low.

In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If New Vivint was involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from New Vivint’s business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

New Vivint intends to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and there are no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors. New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may take into account general and economic conditions, New Vivint’s financial condition and results of operations, New Vivint’s available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax, and regulatory restrictions, implications on the payment of dividends by New Vivint Parent to its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to it and such other factors as New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, New Vivint Parent’s ability to pay dividends is limited by covenants of Vivint Smart Home’s existing and outstanding indebtedness and may be limited by covenants of any future indebtedness New Vivint incurs. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock unless you sell New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about New Vivint’s business or if they downgrade New Vivint Parent’s stock or New Vivint’s sector, New Vivint Parent’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about New Vivint or its business. New Vivint will not control these analysts. In addition, some financial analysts may have limited expertise with Vivint Smart Home’s model and operations. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover New Vivint downgrade its stock or industry, or the stock of any of its competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the price of New Vivint Parent’s stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of New Vivint or fails to publish reports on it regularly, New Vivint could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause its stock price or trading volume to decline.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by New Vivint or its stockholders in the public market following the merger could cause the market price for New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock to decline.

The sale of shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for New Vivint Parent to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

Upon consummation of the merger, New Vivint Parent will have a total of approximately 185.2 million shares of Class A common stock (assuming no redemptions) outstanding. All shares issued in the merger will be freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”,) and without restriction by persons other than New Vivint’ Parent’s “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, “Rule 144”), including New Vivint Parent’s directors, executive officers and other affiliates (including affiliates of The Blackstone Group Inc. (together with such affiliates, “Blackstone”)).

In connection with the merger, holders of substantially all of Vivint Smart Home’s common stock and the Sponsors have each agreed with Mosaic, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock during the period from the date of the closing of the merger continuing through the date (i) in the case of Blackstone and the Additional Forward Purchaser (solely with respect to shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock issued pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement), six months after the closing date of the merger, (ii) in the case of the Pedersen Holders, Dunn Holders, Summit Holders and Black Horse Holders (each as defined in the Stockholders Agreement, two years after the closing date of the merger and (iii) for all other Stockholder Parties, one year after the closing date of the merger and (iii) in the case of all other applicable holders, one year from the closing of the merger. See “Other Agreements—Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements” for a description of these lock-up arrangements.

Table of Contents

Upon the expiration or waiver of the lock-ups described above, shares held by the Investors (as defined below) and certain other stockholders of New Vivint Parent will be eligible for resale, subject to volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144. In addition, pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Investors and certain other stockholders will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require New Vivint Parent to register the sale of their shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock under the Securities Act. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of shares, these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock to decline. Following completion of the merger, the shares covered by registration rights could represent over 90% of New Vivint’s outstanding common stock.

As restrictions on resale end or if these stockholders exercise their registration rights, the market price of shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for New Vivint to raise additional funds through future offerings of New Vivint Parent’s shares of Class A common stock or other securities.

In addition, the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under New Vivint Parent’s equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. A total of 34,250,000 shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock are expected to be reserved for future issuance under its equity incentive plans. The compensation committee of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may determine the exact number of shares to be reserved for future issuance under its equity incentive plans at its discretion. New Vivint Parent is expected to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock issued pursuant to New Vivint Parent’s equity incentive plans. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.

In the future, New Vivint Parent may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of New Vivint Parent’s then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to New Vivint Parent’s stockholders.

Anti-takeover provisions in New Vivint Parent’s organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.

Certain provisions of New Vivint Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws to become effective upon the consummation of the merger may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by New Vivint Parent’s stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

 

   

the ability of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock;

 

   

advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at New Vivint Parent’s annual meetings;

 

   

certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;

 

66


Table of Contents
   

limiting the ability of stockholders to act by written consent;

 

   

providing that New Vivint Parent’s board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal New Vivint Parent’s bylaws;

 

   

the removal of directors only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors if the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates hold less than 30% of New Vivint Parent’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock; and

 

   

that certain provisions may be amended only by the affirmative vote of at least 30% of the shares of Class A common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors if the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates hold less than 30% of New Vivint Parent’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire New Vivint Parent, even if the third-party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of New Vivint Parent’s stockholders. As a result, New Vivint Parent’s stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause New Vivint to take other corporate actions you desire. See “Description of New Vivint Capital Stock”.

New Vivint Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by New Vivint Parent’s stockholders, which could limit New Vivint Parent’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Vivint or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

New Vivint Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, subject to limited exceptions, any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Vivint Parent, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder or employee to New Vivint Parent or its stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or New Vivint Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Vivint Parent’s amended and restated bylaws or (4) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of New Vivint Parent’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of New Vivint Parent’s certificate of incorporation described above. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Vivint or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against New Vivint and its directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of New Vivint Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, New Vivint may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect New Vivint’s business and financial condition.

Affiliates of Blackstone will control New Vivint, and their interests may conflict with New Vivint’s or yours in the future.

Immediately following the closing of the merger, affiliates of Blackstone will beneficially own between approximately 50% and 61% of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock. For so long as Blackstone continues to own a significant percentage of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock, Blackstone will still be able to significantly influence the composition of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and the approval of

 

67


Table of Contents

actions requiring stockholder approval. Accordingly, for such period of time, Blackstone will have significant influence with respect to New Vivint’s management, business plans and policies, including the appointment and removal of New Vivint’s officers. In particular, for so long as Blackstone continues to own a significant percentage of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock, Blackstone will be able to cause or prevent a change of control of New Vivint or a change in the composition of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of New Vivint Parent. The concentration of ownership could deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your shares of common stock as part of a sale of New Vivint Parent and ultimately might affect the market price of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock. In addition, Blackstone may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you. For example, Blackstone could cause New Vivint to make acquisitions that increase New Vivint’s indebtedness or cause New Vivint to sell revenue-generating assets. In certain circumstances, acquisitions of debt at a discount by purchasers that are related to a debtor can give rise to cancellation of indebtedness income to such debtor for U.S. federal income tax purposes. So long as Blackstone continues to own a significant amount of New Vivint Parent’s combined voting power, even if such amount is less than 50%, Blackstone will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control New Vivint’s decisions.

Notwithstanding Blackstone’s control of or substantial influence over New Vivint, New Vivint may from time to time enter into transactions with Blackstone and its affiliates, or enter into transactions in which Blackstone or its affiliates otherwise have a direct or indirect material interest. In connection with the merger, New Vivint expects to adopt a formal written policy for the review and approval of transactions with related persons. A description of certain transactions Mosaic entered into with Blackstone and its affiliates in connection with the execution of the merger agreement, as well as a description of the policy New Vivint expects to adopt with respect to the approval or ratification of transactions in which related persons, such as Blackstone and its affiliates, have a direct or indirect material interest is included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. For more information, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Vivint Smart Home.

Certain of New Vivint’s stockholders, including Blackstone, the Sponsors and affiliates of Summit Partners, L.P., may engage in business activities which compete with New Vivint or otherwise conflict with New Vivint’s interests.

Blackstone, the Sponsors, affiliates of Summit Partners, L.P. and certain other Stockholder Parties are in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with New Vivint. New Vivint Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that none of the Stockholder Parties, any of their respective affiliates or any director who is not employed by New Vivint (including any non-employee director who serves as one of New Vivint’s officers in both his director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which New Vivint operates. The Stockholder Parties also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to New Vivint’s business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to New Vivint.

New Vivint Parent may be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the rules of the SEC. If Blackstone controls a majority of the voting power of New Vivint Parent, New Vivint Parent will qualify for, and intends to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that would otherwise provide protection to stockholders of other companies.

Immediately following the completion of the merger, if more than approximately 14.1 million shares (or approximately 9.1 million shares if the Additional Fortress Investment Shares are purchased in the open market) of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed, Blackstone will control a majority of the voting power of New Vivint Parent’s outstanding Class A common stock. If Blackstone controls a majority of the voting power of New

 

68


Table of Contents

Vivint Parent, New Vivint Parent will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

 

   

the requirement that a majority of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors consist of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of the NYSE;

 

   

the requirement that New Vivint Parent have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities;

 

   

the requirement that New Vivint Parent have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

 

   

the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees.

Following the merger, New Vivint Parent intends to utilize some or all of these exemptions if it qualifies as a “controlled company”. As a result, New Vivint Parent’s nominating and corporate governance committee and compensation committee may not consist entirely of independent directors and such committees will not be subject to annual performance evaluations. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.

In addition, on June 20, 2012, the SEC passed final rules implementing provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 pertaining to compensation committee independence and the role and disclosure of compensation consultants and other advisers to the compensation committee. The SEC’s rules direct each of the national securities exchanges (including the NYSE on which New Vivint Parent intends to list its common stock) to develop listing standards requiring, among other things, that:

 

   

compensation committees be composed of fully independent directors, as determined pursuant to new independence requirements;

 

   

compensation committees be explicitly charged with hiring and overseeing compensation consultants, legal counsel and other committee advisors; and

 

   

compensation committees be required to consider, when engaging compensation consultants, legal counsel or other advisors, certain independence factors, including factors that examine the relationship between the consultant or advisor’s employer and New Vivint Parent.

If it qualifies as a “controlled company”, New Vivint Parent will not be subject to these compensation committee independence requirements.

Transformation of Vivint Smart Home into a listed public company will increase its costs and may disrupt the regular operations of its business.

Vivint Smart Home has operated as a privately owned company and expects to incur additional legal, regulatory, finance, accounting, investor relations and other administrative expenses as a result of having publicly traded common stock. In addition, while Vivint Smart Home is currently in compliance with portions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), Vivint Smart Home will be required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules adopted by the SEC and the NYSE, to implement specified corporate governance practices that currently do not apply to Vivint Smart Home as a private company.

New Vivint will be required to ensure that it has the ability to prepare financial statements on a timely basis that fully comply with all SEC reporting requirements and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

 

69


Table of Contents

The additional demands associated with being a public company may disrupt regular operations of New Vivint’s business by diverting the attention of some of its senior management team away from revenue producing activities to management and administrative oversight, adversely affecting New Vivint’s ability to attract and complete business opportunities and increasing the difficulty in both retaining professionals and managing and growing New Vivint’s businesses. In addition, failure to comply with any laws or regulations applicable to New Vivint Parent as a public company may result in legal proceedings and/or regulatory investigations, and may cause reputational damage. Any of these effects could harm New Vivint’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Redemption

There is no guarantee that a Mosaic public stockholder’s decision whether to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such stockholder in a better future economic position.

No assurance can be given as to the price at which a public stockholder may be able to sell the shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock in the future following the completion of the merger. Certain events following the consummation of any business combination, including the merger, may cause an increase in New Vivint Parent’s stock price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a Mosaic stockholder might realize in the future had the stockholder not elected to redeem such stockholder’s public shares. Similarly, if a Mosaic public stockholder does not redeem his, her or its shares, such stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock after the consummation of the merger, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell his, her or its shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. A Mosaic public stockholder should consult his, her or its own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

If Mosaic public stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

To exercise their redemption rights, holders are required to deliver their stock, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Mosaic’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and the merger with Vivint Smart Home is consummated, Mosaic will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own such shares following the merger. See the section entitled “Mosaic Special Meeting of StockholdersRedemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

Mosaic does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for Mosaic to complete the merger with which a substantial majority of Mosaic’s shareholders do not agree.

Mosaic’s existing charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that Mosaic will not redeem public shares in an amount that would cause Mosaic’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act). Additionally, while Vivint Smart Home’s obligation to consummate the merger is conditioned on, among other things, the Maximum Redemption Condition. Mosaic can satisfy this condition only if fewer than 10,350,000 public shares are redeemed following the date of the merger agreement. This condition is for the sole benefit of Vivint Smart Home and may be waived by Vivint Smart Home and, as such the closing of the merger could occur if Mosaic maintains at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets which is assumed to be a redemption of 34,000,000 shares, or 98.5%, of Mosaic Class A common stock based, for ease of presentation, on an assumption that the sole assets of Mosaic are $345 million of cash in the Trust Account and disregarding the $1 difference in such a redemption

scenario). In the event that Vivint Smart Home elects to waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, it will notify Vivint Smart Home’s and Mosaic’s stockholders by issuing a press release at least one business day prior to the closing of the merger. As a result, Mosaic may be able to complete the merger even though a substantial portion of public stockholders do not agree with the merger and have redeemed their public shares.

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the public shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the public shares.

A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its public shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s public shares, in excess of 15% of the public shares. Your inability to redeem any such excess public shares could resulting in you suffering a material loss on your investment in Mosaic if you sell such excess public shares in open market transactions. Mosaic cannot assure you that the value of such excess public shares will appreciate over time following the merger or that the market price of the public shares will exceed the per-share redemption price.

However, Mosaic’s stockholders’ ability to vote all of their public shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination Proposal is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Mosaic present the combination of the financial information of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home adjusted to give effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 combines the historical balance sheet of Mosaic and the historical balance sheet of Vivint Smart Home on a pro forma basis as if the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, summarized below, had been consummated on September 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 combine the historical statements of operations of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home for such periods on a pro forma basis as if the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2018, the beginning of the earliest period presented:

 

   

the merger of Vivint Smart Home with and into Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic, with Vivint Smart Home surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic;

 

   

the purchase of 15,789,474 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at a purchase price of $9.50 per share pursuant to the forward purchase agreements that Mosaic entered into with certain investors in connection with its initial public offering;

 

   

the issuance and sale of 12,500,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to the Fortress Subscription Agreement;

 

   

the issuance and sale of 10,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to the Blackstone Subscription Agreement;

 

   

the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share associated with the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment; and

 

   

the conversion of 10,379,386 Founder Shares owned by the Sponsors into 10,379,386 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock upon the closing of the merger in accordance with Mosaic’s existing charter.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, 50% of the unvested Founder Shares shall vest at the closing of the merger; 25% of the unvested Founder Shares shall vest at such time as a $12.50 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger and the remaining 25% of unvested Founder Shares shall vest at such time as a $15.00 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, 50% of the unvested private placement warrants shall vest at such time as a $12.50 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger and the remaining 50% of unvested private placement warrants shall vest at such time as a $15.00 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. Any Founder Shares that remain unvested after the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger shall be forfeited.

After the consummation of the merger, holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the merger and holders of outstanding Rollover Restricted Stock immediately following the merger will have the contingent right to receive earnout shares and holders of Rollover Equity Awards (other than Rollover Restricted Stock) immediately following the merger will be entitled to an increase in the value of their awards if, from the consummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds. The first issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The second issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days

within any 30 trading day period. The third issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds $17.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The price targets and the number of earnout shares issued shall be equitably adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event affecting New Vivint Parent Class A common stock. If such targets are achieved, such holders will receive, in aggregate, 12,500,000 New Vivint Parent Class A common stock on the achievement of each target (or in the case of holders of Rollover Equity Awards, an equivalent increase in value of such awards) based on their proportional holding of such stock or awards immediately prior to the merger. Vivint Smart Home has preliminarily concluded that the earnout shares will be classified as equity on the balance sheet. The impact of the earnout shares is not expected to be material on the future results of operations of New Vivint. In the event the $12.50 earnout target is achieved, the maximum potential value of the 12,500,000 shares of New Vivint Parent Class A stock issued related to this earnout would be $156,250,000. In the event the $15.00 earnout target is achieved, the maximum potential value of the 12,500,000 shares of New Vivint Parent Class A stock related to this earnout would be an additional $187,500,000. In the event the $17.50 earnout target is achieved, the maximum potential value of the 12,500,000 shares of New Vivint Parent Class A stock related to this earnout would be an additional $218,750,000. The issuance of such earnout shares would dilute the value of all New Vivint Parent Class A shares outstanding at that time. Assuming the current capitalization structure, the 12,500,000 shares issued associated with the $12.50 earnout threshold would represent between 6% and 8% of total shares outstanding, depending on the redemption scenarios set forth herein. If the $15.00 earnout threshold were achieved, the 25,000,000 total shares issued associated with these earnouts would represent between 12% and 14% of total shares outstanding, depending on the redemption scenarios set forth herein. If the $17.50 earnout threshold were achieved, the 37,500,000 total shares issued associated with these earnouts would represent between 17% and 20% of total shares outstanding, depending on the redemption scenarios set forth herein. As none of the $12.50, $15.00 or $17.50 earnout targets have been achieved, Vivint Smart Home has not reflected these earnout shares in its pro forma financial information.

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to events that are: (i) directly attributable to the merger; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on Mosaic’s results following the completion of the merger.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:

 

   

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;

 

   

the (i) historical audited financial statements of Mosaic as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and (ii) historical condensed unaudited financial statements of Mosaic as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus;

 

   

the (i) historical audited consolidated financial statements of Vivint Smart Home as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and (ii) historical condensed unaudited combined consolidated financial statements of Vivint Smart Home as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and

 

   

other information relating to Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, including the merger agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth under “The Merger.”

Pursuant to Mosaic’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation, public stockholders are being offered the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the merger, shares of Mosaic Class A common stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business

days prior to the closing of the merger) in the Trust Account. For illustrative purpose, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2019 of approximately $354.3 million, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.27 per share.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present three redemption scenarios as follows:

 

   

Assuming No Redemption: This scenario assumes that no shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed, and the purchase of 5,000,000 newly issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress at $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement;

 

   

Assuming Maximum Redemption Condition: This scenario assumes that 10,349,999 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $106.3 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.27 per share based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2019 of approximately $354.3 million) from the Trust Account, which is the maximum amount of redemptions that would satisfy the Maximum Redemption Condition set forth in the merger agreement. This scenario includes the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress in the open market prior to the redemption date at an average price of $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement; and

 

   

Assuming Maximum Possible Redemption: This scenario assumes that all 34,500,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock are redeemed, and the purchase of 4,868,549 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock by Fortress at an assumed redemption price per share of $10.27 pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement, resulting in a net aggregate payment of approximately $304.3 million, after giving effect to these proceeds from Fortress.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Mosaic will be treated as the acquired company and Vivint Smart Home will be treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Vivint Smart Home has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s existing shareholders will have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity under the no and maximum redemption scenarios with approximately 50% and 61% voting interest, respectively;

 

   

the largest individual minority shareholder of the combined entity is an existing shareholder of Vivint Smart Home;

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s directors will represent the majority of the New Vivint Parent board of directors;

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s senior management will be the senior management of New Vivint; and

 

   

Vivint Smart Home is the larger entity based on historical total assets and revenues.

On July 31, 2019, in an effort to deliver additional cost savings and cash-flow improvements, Vivint Smart Home completed a spin-off of its wireless internet business. In connection with the spin-off, the equity interests of Vivint Wireless, Inc. were distributed to the shareholders of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. pro rata based on their respective holdings. The spin-off is not believed to be a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on Vivint Smart Home’s operations and financial results, and therefore does not qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, the spin-off is not directly attributable to the merger. However, since the wireless internet business will not be present in the financial position or results of operations of the combined company following the merger, the Company has presented in its unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements the effect of the Vivint Wireless, Inc. spin-off, as this information could be useful to investors and readers of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the merger occurred on the dates indicated. For example, historically the outstanding balance on Vivint Smart Home’s revolving credit facility increased during the later part of the year. As a result, management expects that at least some portion of the cash reflected on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 after the application of the merger proceeds reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements will be used to pay down such higher revolver balance upon the closing of the merger. Any additional merger proceeds remaining after the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are paid down are expected to be used for repayment of additional debt or other general corporate purposes. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Mosaic following the completion of the merger. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent Mosaic’s management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

The merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Mosaic will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger will be treated as the equivalent of Vivint Smart Home issuing stock for the net assets of Mosaic, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Mosaic will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 gives pro forma effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 give pro forma effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2018.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

   

Mosaic’s unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

   

Mosaic’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

   

Mosaic’s unaudited statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s unaudited statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any compensation expense related to the additional earnout shares that may be associated with the merger as the combined entity is currently evaluating the valuation of the earnout and other terms to determine the accounting treatment following the consummation of the merger. Given the short period of time between the merger agreement and the issuance of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, it is not practicable to disclose the impact to the pro formas related to the potential issuance of the earnout shares.

Table of Contents

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the merger and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Mosaic believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Mosaic believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the merger based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the business combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home.

 

2.

Accounting Policies and Reclassifications

As part of preparing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, certain reclassifications were made to align Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home’s financial statement presentation. Upon consummation of the merger, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

 

3.

Vivint Wireless, Inc. Spin-off

The Company has presented in its unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations the effect of the Vivint Wireless, Inc. spin-off, as the wireless internet business will not be present in the results of operations of the combined company following the merger.

 

4.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the post-combination company. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home have not had any historical relationship prior to the merger. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the post-combination company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

  (E)

Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs incurred by Vivint Smart Home of approximately $15.7 million for advisory, banking, printing, legal, and accounting fees that are not capitalized as a part of the merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash of $9.7 million, a reduction of prepaid expenses and other current assets of $3.0 million, and an increase to accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $3.0 million, with a corresponding decrease in accumulated deficit. These costs are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as they are nonrecurring.

  (I)

Reflects the reclassification of $337.8 million of Mosaic Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to permanent equity, assuming no redemptions.

 

  (J)

Reflects the conversion of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock into Vivint Smart Home common stock and excludes any additional shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock (and Mosaic Class A common stock issuable on the conversion thereof in the merger) that may be issuable as a result of an adjustment to the conversion rate under the certificate of designations of Vivint Smart Home preferred

Loss per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the merger, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2018. As the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the merger have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. When assuming the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed while satisfying the Maximum Redemption Condition and the Maximum Possible Redemption are redeemed, this calculation is adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of redemption for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

VIVINT SMART HOME’S SOLICITATION OF WRITTEN CONSENTS

Purpose of the Consent Solicitation

You are being asked to consent to adopt and approve in all respects the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Vivint Merger Proposal”), and to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the amendments to Mosaic’s existing charter as set forth in Mosaic’s proposed charter (the “Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals”).

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors has determined that the merger agreement, the merger contemplated by the merger agreement, the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of Vivint Smart Home and its stockholders and adopted and approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors recommends that you consent to the Vivint Merger Proposal and thereby approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and consent to the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals.

The support agreement that Mosaic has entered into with the 313 Acquisition (the “Vivint Smart Home support agreement”) obligates 313 Acquisition, promptly following the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is a part being declared effective by the SEC, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to all of the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition adopting the merger agreement and approving the merger unless the merger is no longer recommended by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement, in which case, 313 Acquisition would vote 35% of the shares of Vivint Smart Home stock approving the merger and is entitled, in its sole discretion, to vote its remaining shares in any manner. The shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition and subject to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement represent approximately 92% of the outstanding voting power of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock (on an as converted basis). The delivery of the written consent by 313 Acquisition pursuant to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement adopting the merger agreement with respect to the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that owned by 313 Acquisition will be sufficient to adopt the merger agreement and thereby approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (other than in the event of a change of recommendation by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement).

Record Date

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors has set November 25, 2019 (the “Vivint Smart Home record date”) as the record date for determining the Vivint Smart Home stockholders entitled to sign and deliver written consents with respect to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals.

Vivint Smart Home Stockholders Entitled to Consent

Only Vivint Smart Home stockholders of record holding shares of common stock or preferred stock as of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date are entitled to sign and deliver written consents with respect to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals. As of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date, there were approximately 1,009,144 shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and approximately 79,791 shares of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock outstanding and entitled to sign and deliver written consents with respect to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals. You are urged to return a completed, dated and signed written consent by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on January 2, 2020.

Consents; Required Consents

Written consents from the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock entitled to vote are required to adopt the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals.

Table of Contents

Following entry by the parties into the merger agreement, 313 Acquisition entered into the Vivint Smart Home support agreement with Mosaic. Under the Vivint Smart Home support agreement, 313 Acquisition agreed, promptly following the SEC declaring this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus effective, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock held by 313 Acquisition adopting the merger agreement and approving the merger unless the merger is no longer recommended by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement, in which case, 313 Acquisition would vote 35% of the shares of Vivint Smart Home stock approving the merger and is entitled, in its sole discretion, to vote its remaining shares in any manner. The shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition and subject to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement represent approximately 92% of the outstanding voting power of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock (on an as converted basis). The delivery of the written consents by 313 Acquisition pursuant to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement with respect to the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition adopting the merger agreement will be sufficient to adopt the Vivint Merger Proposal and thereby approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (other than in the event of a change of recommendation by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement).

Submission of Consents

You may consent to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals with respect to your shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock by completing, dating and signing the written consent enclosed with this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and returning it to Vivint Smart Home.

If you hold shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock or preferred stock as of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date and you wish to give your written consent, you must fill out the enclosed written consent, date and sign it, and promptly return it to Vivint Smart Home. Once you have completed, dated and signed the written consent, you may deliver it to Vivint Smart Home by emailing a .pdf copy to gmeads@vivint.com or by mailing it to 4931 North 300 West, Provo, Utah 84604, Attention: Garner B. Meads, III, Associate General Counsel.

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors has set 12:00 noon, New York City time, on January 2, 2020 as the target date for the receipt of written consents, which is the date on which Vivint Smart Home expects to receive the written consents of 313 Acquisition under the Vivint Smart Home support agreement. Vivint Smart Home reserves the right to extend the final date for the receipt of written consents beyond January 2, 2020. Any such extension may be made without notice to Vivint Smart Home stockholders. Once a sufficient number of consents to adopt the merger agreement has been received, the consent solicitation will conclude. The delivery of the written consent by 313 Acquisition pursuant to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement with respect to the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition adopting the merger agreement will be sufficient to adopt the Vivint Merger Proposal and thereby approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, except in the event of a change of recommendation by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement.

Executing Consents; Revocation of Consents

You may execute a written consent to approve of the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals. A written consent to approve the Vivint Merger Proposal or the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals is equivalent to a vote for such proposal. If you fail to execute and return your written consent, or otherwise withhold your written consent, it has the same effect as voting against the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals.

If you are a record holder of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock or preferred stock as of the close of business on the Vivint Smart Home record date, you may change or revoke your written consent (subject to

Table of Contents

any contractual obligations you may otherwise have) at any time prior to 12:00 noon local time, on January 2, 2020 (or, if earlier, before the consents of a sufficient number of shares to approve the Vivint Merger Proposal have been delivered to the Secretary of Vivint Smart Home). If you wish to change or revoke your consent before that time, you may do so by sending a notice of revocation by emailing a .pdf copy to gmeads@vivint.com or by mailing it to 4931 North 300 West, Provo, Utah 84604, Attention: Garner B. Meads, III, Associate General Counsel. However, pursuant to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement, the written consent to be received by Vivint Smart Home from 313 Acquisition will be irrevocable.

MOSAIC SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

General

Mosaic is furnishing this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors for use at the Mosaic Special Meeting to be reconvened on January 14, 2020 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus provides Mosaic’s stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or direct their vote to be cast at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Mosaic Special Meeting was initially convened on December 18, 2019 and continued on December 20, 2019. It will be reconvened on January 14, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019. On or about December 27, 2019, Mosaic commenced mailing this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and the enclosed form of proxy to its stockholders entitled to vote at the reconvened Mosaic Special Meeting.

Purpose of Mosaic Special Meeting

Mosaic stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals, including certain proposals that have been updated or added subsequent to the earlier mailing of the proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus:

 

  1.

the Business Combination Proposal;

 

  2.

the Charter Proposals;

 

  3.

the Fortress Issuance Proposal;

 

  4.

the Blackstone Issuance Proposal;

 

  5.

the Merger Issuance Proposal;

 

  6.

the Incentive Plan Proposal;

 

  7.

the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary); and

 

  8.

the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal.

Recommendation of the Mosaic Board of Directors

The Mosaic board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, is advisable and in the best interests of Mosaic and its stockholders and has directed that the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus be submitted to its stockholders for approval at the Mosaic Special Meeting on the date and at the time and place set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The Mosaic board of directors unanimously recommends that Mosaic’s stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Fortress Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) and “FOR” the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Mosaic Special Meeting if you owned shares of Mosaic common stock at the close of business on November 19, 2019, which is the record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Mosaic common stock that you owned as of the

 

89


Table of Contents

close of business on the Mosaic record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Mosaic record date, there were 43,125,000 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 34,500,000 are public shares and 8,625,000 are Founder Shares.

Vote of the Sponsor and Mosaic’s Directors and Officers

Mosaic has entered into an agreement with the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors pursuant to which each has agreed to vote any shares of Mosaic common stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Moreover, the Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have agreed to vote in favor of all of the proposals presented at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

The Sponsors have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of Mosaic common stock purchased in Mosaic’s IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with merger. The Founder Shares held by the Sponsors have no redemption rights upon Mosaic’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Mosaic by January 23, 2020. However, the Sponsors are entitled to redemption rights upon Mosaic’s liquidation with respect to any public shares they may own.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Mosaic Special Meeting

A quorum of Mosaic stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Mosaic Special Meeting if a majority of the issued and outstanding Mosaic common stock entitled to vote as of the Mosaic record date at the Mosaic Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The holders of the Founder Shares, who currently own 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, will count towards this quorum. As of the Mosaic record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting, 21,562,501 shares of Mosaic common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class, and approval of the Charter Proposals requires the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least two-thirds of the Founder Shares then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, a Mosaic’s stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention from voting with regard to the Business Combination Proposal and/or the Charter Proposals and a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and/or the Charter Proposals, as applicable.

Approval of the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) require the majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Accordingly, assuming there is a quorum at the Mosaic Special Meeting, a Mosaic’s stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention from voting with regard to the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the vote count for such proposals.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. The merger is not conditioned on the Adjournment Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

Table of Contents

It is important for you to note that in the event that any of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal do not receive the requisite vote for approval, then the merger may not be consummated. If Mosaic does not consummate the merger and fails to complete an initial business combination by January 23, 2020, Mosaic will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Recommendation of the Mosaic Board of Directors

Mosaic’s board of directors unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Mosaic and its stockholders. Accordingly, Mosaic’s board of directors unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals hereby.

When you consider the recommendation of Mosaic’s board of directors in favor of approval of these proposals, you should keep in mind that Mosaic’s directors and officers have interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

 

   

If the merger or another business combination is not consummated by January 23, 2020, Mosaic will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 8,625,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsors and Eugene I. Davis, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Mosaic’s IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an estimated aggregate market value of $88,233,750 based upon the closing price of $10.23 per public share on the NYSE on November 19, 2019, the Mosaic record date.

 

   

The Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 5,933,334 private placement warrants from Mosaic for an aggregate purchase price of $8,900,000 (or $1.50 per warrant). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of Mosaic’s IPO. A portion of the proceeds Mosaic received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such warrants had an estimated aggregate value of $4,984,000 based on the closing price of $0.84 per public warrant on the NYSE on November 19, 2019, the Mosaic record date. The private placement warrants will become worthless if Mosaic does not consummate a business combination by January 23, 2020.

 

   

David M. Maura will be a member of the board of directors of New Vivint Parent after the closing of the merger. As such, in the future Mr. Maura will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Vivint Parent board of directors determines to pay to its non-executive directors.

 

   

Pursuant to the terms of his services agreement, William H. Mitchell will be entitled to a deferred cash payment upon the closing of the merger equal to $330.00 multiplied by the number of hours Mr. Mitchell has worked for Mosaic up to the date of the merger, less the total amount of the $5,000 monthly retainer already paid to CFO Bullpen LLC (a company wholly owned by Mr. Mitchell) through such date. In addition, Mosaic will issue Class A common stock to CFO Bullpen LLC upon the closing of the merger equal to 17.895 shares per hour Mr. Mitchell has worked for Mosaic up to the date of the merger, with such shares being delivered on the six-month anniversary of the closing of the merger.

 

   

If Mosaic is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, its executive officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Mosaic for services rendered or contracted for or products

sold to Mosaic. If Mosaic consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Mosaic will be liable for all such claims.

 

   

Mosaic’s officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Mosaic’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Mosaic fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Mosaic may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the merger or another business combination, are not completed by January 23, 2020.

 

   

The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Proposals. Broker non-votes are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of Mosaic common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the Mosaic Special Meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of Mosaic common stock that you own. There are several ways to have your shares of common stock voted:

 

   

You can submit a proxy to vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Mosaic Special Meeting. If you submit a new proxy card, your “proxy”, whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the new proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of Mosaic common stock will be voted as recommended by Mosaic’s board of directors. Mosaic’s board of directors recommends voting “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Fortress Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal and “FOR” the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal.

 

   

You can attend the Mosaic Special Meeting and vote in person even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy pursuant to any of the methods noted above. You will be given a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares of Mosaic common stock are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Mosaic can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of Mosaic common stock.

If you have already delivered a properly executed original proxy card, due to the addition of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, you are strongly encouraged to deliver another properly executed revised proxy card even if you do not wish to change your vote (in which case your later submitted vote will be recorded and your earlier vote will be revoked). If you already returned the original proxy card, by completing and returning the enclosed revised proxy card, you will revoke the original proxy card in its entirety and only your votes as indicated on the revised proxy card will be counted. If you

 

92


Table of Contents

have already voted and do not submit a revised proxy card or new voting instructions, your previously submitted proxy or voting instructions will be voted at the Mosaic Special Meeting with respect to the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary), but will not be counted in determining the outcome of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. The receipt of your revised proxy card and/or new voting instructions will revoke and supersede any proxy or voting instructions previously submitted.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

 

   

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

 

   

you may notify Mosaic’s secretary in writing before the Mosaic Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

 

   

you may attend the Mosaic Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person as described above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

No Additional Matters May be Presented at the Mosaic Special Meeting

The Mosaic Special Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) and the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. Under Mosaic’s bylaws, no other matters may be considered at the Mosaic Special Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Mosaic Special Meeting

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of Mosaic common stock, you may call Morrow Sodali, Mosaic’s proxy solicitor, at (800) 662-5200 (banks and brokers call (203) 658-9400) or email Morrow Sodali at MOSC.info@morrowsodali.com.

Redemption Rights

Holders of public shares may seek to redeem their shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or whether they abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal. Any stockholder holding public shares may demand that Mosaic redeem such shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $10.27 per share as of November 19, 2019, the Mosaic record date), calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the merger. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the merger with Vivint Smart Home is consummated, Mosaic will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 15% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group”, will not be redeemed for cash.

Table of Contents

Holders of Founder Shares will not have redemption rights with respect to such shares.

Holders may demand redemption by delivering their stock, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Mosaic’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting. If you hold the shares in “street name”, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. In the event the proposed merger is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.

Mosaic’s transfer agent can be contacted at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

1 State Street - 30th Floor

New York, NY 10004

Attn: Mark Zimkind

Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

If the merger is not approved or completed for any reason, then Mosaic’s public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account, as applicable. In such case, Mosaic will promptly return any shares delivered by public holders. If Mosaic would be left with less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as a result of the holders of public shares properly demanding redemption of their shares for cash or the Maximum Redemption Condition would not be satisfied, Mosaic will not be able to consummate the merger. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home may waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, such that closing of the merger could occur if Mosaic maintains at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (which is assumed to be a redemption of 34,000,000 shares, or 98.5% of Mosaic Class A common stock based, for ease of presentation, on an assumption that the sole assets of Mosaic are $345 million of cash in the Trust Account and disregarding the $1 difference in such a redemption scenario). In the event that Vivint Smart Home elects to waive the Maximum Redemption Condition, it will notify Vivint Smart Home’s and Mosaic’s stockholders by issuing a press release at least one business day prior to the closing of the merger.

The closing price of Mosaic Class A common stock on November 19, 2019, the Mosaic record date, was $10.23. The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $354.6 million ($10.27 per public share). Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Mosaic Class A common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Mosaic cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Mosaic Class A common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of public shares exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then he, she or it will be exchanging its shares of Mosaic Class A common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption no later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to Mosaic’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting, and the merger is consummated.

Table of Contents

For a detailed discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for stockholders with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences —Tax Consequences of a Redemption of Mosaic Public Shares” beginning on page 294. The consequences of a redemption to any particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the exercise of your redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of Mosaic common stock in connection with the merger.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Mosaic is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Mosaic and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. Mosaic will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. Mosaic will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Mosaic has hired Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Mosaic will pay to Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $40,000, plus disbursements.

Mosaic will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Mosaic will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

The Sponsors

As of November 19, 2019, the Mosaic record date, the Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors owned of record and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares that were issued prior to Mosaic’s IPO. Such shares currently constitute 20% of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock. The holders of these securities have agreed to vote the Founder Shares, as well as any shares of Mosaic common stock acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of each of the proposals being presented at the Mosaic Special Meeting. The Founder Shares have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Mosaic.

Upon consummation of the merger, under the Sponsor Agreement, such Founder Shares (or shares of Mosaic common stock issuable upon conversion thereof) and the private placement warrants previously sold to the Sponsors (or shares of Mosaic common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) will be subject to (i) certain lock-up restrictions and (ii) certain time and performance-based vesting provisions. See “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Holders of Mosaic common stock are being asked to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. Mosaic stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment, which are attached as Annex A-I and Annex A-II, respectively to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Please see the sections entitled “The Merger” and “The Merger Agreement” in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for additional information regarding the merger and a summary of certain terms of the merger agreement. You are urged to read carefully the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment in their entirety before voting on this proposal.

Mosaic may consummate the merger only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock.

Vote Required for Approval

This Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger) will be approved and adopted only if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class, vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

The Sponsors and Mosaic’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. See “Other Agreements—Mosaic Letter Agreement” and “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the Mosaic Board of Directors

MOSAIC’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

Director Election and Director Vacancies (Proposal 5)   

Our existing charter provides that, prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of the Founder Shares have the exclusive right to elect any director and holders of public shares have no right to vote on the election or removal of any director. Following the closing of a business combination, directors may be elected by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock.

 

Our existing charter provides that newly-created directorships or any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director.

the merger (Proposal 12). All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed charter in its entirety, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Reasons for Proposed Charter Amendments

Authorized Shares (Proposal 2)

Our existing charter authorizes 221,000,000 shares, consisting or (a) 220,000,000 shares of common stock, including (i) 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Class F common stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Proposal 2 provides that Mosaic will be authorized to issue 3,300,000,000 shares, consisting of 3,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 300,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Upon the conversion of the Mosaic Class F common stock to Mosaic Class A common stock and the elimination of the blank check provisions in our charter, our board determined that there was no longer a need to continue with two series of common stock and, therefore, Proposal 2 eliminates the Mosaic Class F common stock. Proposal 2 also increases the authorized number of shares because our board of directors believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of Class A common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions). The shares would be issuable as consideration for the merger and the other transactions contemplated by in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, and for any proper corporate purpose, including future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans.

Our board of directors believes that these additional shares will provide us with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances we consider favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Required Vote to Amend the Charter (Proposal 3)

At present, our existing charter may only be amended with the approval of a majority of our board of directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares (subject to certain supermajority stockholder approval requirements with respect to our redemption provisions). Proposal 3 provides that an affirmative vote by the holders of at least 66.67% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon is required to amend, alter, change or repeal or adopt certain provisions of the proposed charter for so long as the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. If the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, then an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock is required to adopt an amendment to the proposed charter. We believe that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the board of directors was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold a substantial beneficial ownership of Mosaic Class A common stock following the merger. We further believe that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages the person seeking control of Mosaic to negotiate with the board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Required Vote to Amend the Bylaws (Proposal 4)

At present, our existing charter provides that our bylaws may only be amended with the approval of a majority of our board of directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares. Proposal 4 provides that an affirmative vote by the holders of at least 66.67% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is required to amend, alter, change or repeal the bylaws for so long as the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to

Table of Contents

vote generally in the election of directors. If the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, then an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock is required to adopt an amendment to the bylaws. The ability of the majority of the board of directors to amend the bylaws remains unchanged. We believe that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the board of directors was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold a substantial beneficial ownership of our common stock following the merger. We further believe that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages the person seeking control of Mosaic to negotiate with the board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Director Election and Director Vacancies (Proposal 5)

At present, our existing charter provides that, prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of the Founder Shares have the exclusive right to elect any director and holders of public shares have no right to vote on the election of any director, and, following the closing of a business combination, directors may be elected by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock. Our existing charter also provides that newly-created directorships or any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Proposal 5 provides that the proposed charter will permit for the election of directors by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Proposal 5 also provides that newly-created directorships or any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, by the sole remaining directors, or by the stockholders; provided that if the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, newly-created directorships or any vacancy on the board of directors may only be filled by the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. We believe that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the board of directors was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold a substantial beneficial ownership of our common stock following the merger. We further believe that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages the person seeking control of Mosaic to negotiate with the board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Director Removal (Proposal 6)

At present, our existing charter provides that, prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of the Founder Shares have the exclusive right to remove any director and holders of public shares have no right to vote on the removal of any director, and, following the closing of a business combination, directors may be removed by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock. Proposal 6 provides for the removal of directors with or without cause by stockholders voting a majority of the outstanding shares of entitled to vote thereon; provided that if Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, directors may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. We believe that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the board of directors was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold a substantial beneficial ownership of our common stock following the merger. We further believe that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages the person seeking control of Mosaic to negotiate with the board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Special Meetings (Proposal 7)

At present, our existing charter provides that special meetings of stockholders of Mosaic may be called only by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer of Mosaic, a majority of the board of directors or by request of stockholders holding not less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic Class A common stock. Proposal 7 provides that special meetings may be called only by the chairman or the board of directors; provide that, so long as the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, a special meeting can be called for any purposes at the request of any Stockholder Party that is an affiliate of the Blackstone Group Inc. Allowing a Stockholder Party that is an affiliate of the Blackstone Group Inc. request a special meeting of stockholders while the Stockholder Parties, in the aggregate, hold a substantial portion of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Mosaic achieves a reasonable balance between enhancing stockholder rights and adequately protecting the long-term interests of Mosaic and its stockholders.

Classified Board (Proposal 8)

Under our existing charter, Mosaic’s board of directors has no classes. Proposal 8 provides that our board of directors be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. We believe that the classification of our board of directors will encourage experience and leadership stability of Mosaic following the merger. We also believe that such classification will assure desirable continuity in leadership and policy following the merger.

DGCL Section 203 and Business Combinations (Proposal 9)

Under our existing charter, Mosaic is not governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Proposal 9 provides that Mosaic shall not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, but instead shall be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, except that such provision excludes Blackstone, any Blackstone Direct Transferee, and any Blackstone Indirect Transferee (each as defined in the proposed charter), or any of their respective affiliates or successors or any “group”, or any member of any such group, to which such persons are a party, from the definition of “interested stockholder”, and to make certain related changes. While we have elected to opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL, we believe that it is in the best interests of stockholders to have protections similar to those afforded by Section 203 of the DGCL. These provisions will encourage any potential acquiror to negotiate with the board of directors and therefore provides an opportunity to possibly obtain a higher purchase price than would otherwise be offered in connection with a proposed acquisition of Mosaic following the merger. Such provisions may make it more difficult for an acquirer to consummate certain types of unfriendly or hostile corporate takeovers or other transactions involving the corporation that have not been approved by the board of directors. We believe that while such provisions will provide some measure of protection against an interested stockholder that is proposing a two-tiered transaction structure that is unduly coercive, it would not ultimately prevent a potential takeover that enjoys the support of stockholders and will also help to prevent a third party from acquiring “creeping control” of Mosaic without paying a fair premium to all stockholders.

The proposed charter contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203 of the DGCL, except that they provide that Blackstone, any Blackstone Direct Transferee, and any Blackstone Indirect Transferee (each as defined in the proposed charter) or any of their respective affiliates or successors or any “group”, or any member of any such group, to which such persons are a party, will not be deemed to be “interested stockholders”, regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by them, and accordingly will not be subject to such restrictions. The board of directors has determined to exclude Blackstone, any Blackstone Direct Transferee, and any Blackstone Indirect Transferee (each as defined in the proposed charter) or any of their respective affiliates or successors or any “group”, or any member of any such group, to which such persons are a party, from the definition of “interested stockholder” because such parties currently hold voting power in excess of and immediately following the merger these parties will hold voting power in excess of the 15% threshold under

Table of Contents

Section 203 of the DGCL, such that “creeping control” without paying a fair premium to all stockholders, which Section 203 of the DGCL is intended to prevent, would not be applicable to such parties.

Forum Selection (Proposal 10)

Our existing charter does not contain an exclusive forum provision. Proposal 10 provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, shall be the exclusive forum for certain actions and claims. This amendment is intended to assist Mosaic in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. We believe that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that Mosaic is incorporated in Delaware, Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes to accelerate the timeline of legal decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides stockholders and Mosaic with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions.

In addition, this amendment is intended to promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make Mosaic’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery. At the same time, we believe that Mosaic should retain the ability to consent to an alternative forum on a case-by-case basis where Mosaic determines that its interests and those of its stockholders are best served by permitting such a dispute to proceed in a forum other than in Delaware.

Removal of Blank Check Company Provisions (Proposal 11)

Our existing charter contains various provisions applicable only to blank check companies. Proposal 11 eliminates certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company, which is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the merger. For example, these proposed amendments remove the requirement to dissolve Mosaic and allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the merger. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations and we believe it is the most appropriate period for Mosaic following the merger. In addition, certain other provisions in our existing charter require that proceeds from Mosaic’s IPO be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of merger has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the merger is consummated.

Replacement of the Existing Charter (Proposal 12)

Our existing charter will be amended and replaced in its entirety with the proposed charter. Conditioned upon the approval of Proposals 2 through 11, Proposal 12 provides approval for the proposed charter, which includes approval of all other changes in the proposed charter in connection with replacing the existing charter with the proposed charter as of the closing of the merger.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Charter and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

The proposed charter will contain and the DGCL contains provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors. These provisions are intended

 

103

to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire Mosaic. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of Mosaic by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders. See “Description of Mosaic Capital StockAnti-Takeover Effects of New Vivint Parent’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law” for more information.

Vote Required

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Charter Proposals will not be presented at the Mosaic Special Meeting. Each of the Charter Proposals will be approved and adopted only if: (i) the holders of at least two-thirds of the Founder Shares then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, voting together as a single class, vote “FOR” such Charter Proposal.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Charter Proposals.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposals, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Charter Proposals, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Charter Proposals will not be effected and by approval of the Chater Proposals, Mosaic stockholders are authorizing the Mosaic board of directors to abandon the Charter Proposals in the event the merger is not consummated.

The Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of each of the Charter Proposals. See “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

A copy of the proposed charter, as will be in effect assuming approval of each of the Charter Proposals and upon consummation of the merger and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, is attached to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as Annex B.

PROPOSAL NO. 13—THE FORTRESS ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

Prior to and in connection with the merger, we intend to effect the issuance and sale of 12,500,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to the Fortress Subscribers pursuant to the Fortress Subscription Agreement and up to an additional 5,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to the Fortress Subscribers pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement.

Why Mosaic Needs Stockholder Approval

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Under Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in certain circumstances, including (a) if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance and (b) if such issuance is to a Related Party (as defined in Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) and the number of shares of common stock to be issued exceeds one percent of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Mosaic common stock issuable pursuant to the Fortress Subscription Agreement and the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement represents greater than 20% of the number of shares of Mosaic common stock outstanding before such issuance. Moreover, the number of shares of Mosaic common stock issuable to the Fortress Subscribers, who are Related Parties, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription Agreement represents greater than one percent of the number of shares of Mosaic common stock outstanding before such issuance.

(the “Blackstone Subscribers”) pursuant to certain subscription agreements (the “Blackstone Subscription Agreements”).

Why Mosaic Needs Stockholder Approval

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Under Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in certain circumstances, including if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance.

PROPOSAL NO. 15—THE MERGER ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

In connection with the merger, we intend to effect the issuance of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to the holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock pursuant to the merger agreement.

The maximum aggregate number of shares of Mosaic common stock issuable pursuant to the merger agreement could represent greater than 20% of the number of shares of Mosaic common stock before such issuance and could result in a change of control of Mosaic. Moreover, the number of shares of Mosaic common stock issuable to the Blackstone Subscribers, holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock and a Related Party solely by virtue of being a substantial security holder of Mosaic following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Blackstone Subscription Agreements, pursuant to the merger agreement represents greater than five percent of the number of shares of Mosaic common stock before such issuance.

PROPOSAL NO. 16—THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

The Mosaic board of directors expects to approve the Vivint Smart Home, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Omnibus Plan”) and adopt the 2020 Omnibus Plan, effective as of the effective time, subject to the approval of our stockholders. We are seeking stockholder approval of the 2020 Omnibus Plan (i) in order for incentive stock options to meet the requirements of the Code and (ii) in order to comply with the NYSE Listing Rules.

The Mosaic board of directors believes that the approval of 2020 Omnibus Plan by the stockholders will benefit the compensation structure and strategy of Mosaic. New Vivint’s ability to attract, retain and motivate top quality management, employees and non-employee directors is material to its success, and the Mosaic board of directors has concluded that this would be enhanced by the ability to make grants under the 2020 Omnibus Plan. In addition, the Mosaic board of directors believes that the interests of Mosaic and stockholders will be advanced if Mosaic can offer employees and non-employee directors the opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interests in Mosaic.

Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the 2020 Omnibus Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2020 Omnibus Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. We urge our stockholders to read carefully the entire 2020 Omnibus Plan before voting on this proposal.

If approved by our stockholders, the 2020 Omnibus Plan will become effective upon the consummation of the merger.

Summary of Material Terms of the 2020 Omnibus Plan

Purpose. The purpose of the 2020 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means through which to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means whereby our directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors can acquire and maintain an equity interest in us, or be paid incentive compensation, including incentive compensation measured by reference to the value of our shares of Class A common stock, thereby strengthening their commitment to our welfare and aligning their interests with those of our stockholders.

Eligibility. Eligible participants are any (i) individual employed by New Vivint or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that no employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement will be eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Omnibus Plan unless and to the extent that such eligibility is set forth in such collective bargaining agreement or in an agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) director or officer of New Vivint or any of its subsidiaries; or (iii) consultant or advisor to New Vivint or any of its subsidiaries who may be offered securities registrable pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act, who, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii) above, has entered into an award agreement or who has received written notification from the Committee or its designee that they have been selected to participate in the 2020 Omnibus Plan. As of September 20, 2019, there were approximately 10,850 such persons eligible to participate in the programs to be approved under the 2020 Omnibus Plan.

Administration. The 2020 Omnibus Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the New Vivint Parent board of directors, or such other committee of the New Vivint Parent board of directors to which it has properly delegated power, or if no such committee or subcommittee exists, the New Vivint Parent board of directors (such administering body referred to herein, for purposes of this description of the 2020 Omnibus Plan, the “Committee”). Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system on which our securities are listed or traded, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it in accordance with the terms of the 2020 Omnibus Plan. The Committee is authorized to: (i) designate participants;

Table of Contents

(ii) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant; (iii) determine the number of shares of Class A common stock to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any award; (v) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances awards may be settled in, or exercised for, cash, shares of Class A common stock, other securities, other awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited or suspended and the method or methods by which awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited or suspended; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances the delivery of cash, shares of Class A common stock, other securities, other awards, or other property and other amounts payable with respect to an award will be deferred either automatically or at the election of the participant or of the Committee; (vii) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in, and/or supply any omission in the 2020 Omnibus Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or award granted under, the 2020 Omnibus Plan; (viii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive any rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee may deem appropriate for the proper administration of the 2020 Omnibus Plan; and (ix) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2020 Omnibus Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the 2020 Omnibus Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the 2020 Omnibus Plan or any award or any documents evidencing awards granted pursuant to the 2020 Omnibus Plan are within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time, and are final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, us, any participant, any holder or beneficiary of any award and any of our stockholders.

Awards Subject to the 2020 Omnibus Plan. The 2020 Omnibus Plan provides that the total number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the 2020 Omnibus Plan is 34,250,000 (the “Absolute Share Limit”); provided, however, that the Absolute Share Limit shall be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2021 fiscal year in an amount equal to the least of (x) 17,125,000 shares of Class A common stock, (y) seven and a half percent of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (z) a lower number of shares of Class A common stock as determined by the New Vivint Parent board of directors. Of this amount, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock for which incentive stock options may be granted is equal to the Absolute Share Limit; and the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock subject to awards granted during a single fiscal year to a non-employee director (or with respect to each single year in the event awards are granted for more than one year), taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year, will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value with respect to each fiscal year. Except for “Substitute Awards” (as described below), to the extent that an award expires or is canceled, forfeited, terminated, settled in cash, or otherwise is settled without issuance to the participant of the full number of shares of Class A common stock to which the award related, the unissued shares will again be available for grant under the 2020 Omnibus Plan. Shares of Class A common stock withheld in payment of the exercise price, or taxes relating to an award, and shares equal to the number of shares surrendered in payment of any exercise price, or taxes relating to an award, shall be deemed to constitute shares not issued; provided, however, that such shares shall not become available for issuance if either: (i) the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered following the termination of the 2020 Omnibus Plan or (ii) at the time the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered, it would constitute a material revision of the 2020 Omnibus Plan subject to stockholder approval under any then-applicable rules of the national securities exchange on which the Class A common stock is listed. No award may be granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the 2020 Omnibus Plan), but awards granted before then may extend beyond that date. Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity directly or indirectly acquired by us or with which we combine, or Substitute Awards, and such Substitute Awards will not be counted against the Absolute Share Limit, except that Substitute Awards intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” will count against the limit on incentive stock options described above.

Grants. All awards granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan will vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee, including, without

limitation, attainment of Performance Conditions. For purposes of this proxy statement, “Performance Conditions” means specific levels of performance of New Vivint (and/or one or more of its subsidiaries, divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments, administrative departments, or any combination of the foregoing), which may be determined in accordance with GAAP or on a non-GAAP basis on the following measures: (i) net earnings, net income (before or after taxes), or consolidated net income; (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) net revenue or net revenue growth; (iv) gross revenue or gross revenue growth, gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) net operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi) return measures (including, but not limited to, return on investment, assets, capital, employed capital, invested capital, equity, or sales); (vii) cash flow measures (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, or cash flow return on capital), which may be but are not required to be measured on a per share basis; (viii) actual or adjusted earnings before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization (including EBIT and EBITDA); (ix) gross or net operating margins; (x) productivity ratios; (xi) share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return); (xii) expense targets or cost reduction goals, general and administrative expense savings; (xiii) operating efficiency; (xiv) objective measures of customer/client satisfaction; (xv) working capital targets; (xvi) measures of economic value added or other ‘value creation’ metrics; (xvii) enterprise value; (xviii) sales; (xix) stockholder return; (xx) customer/client retention; (xxi) competitive market metrics; (xxii) employee retention; (xxiii) objective measures of personal targets, goals, or completion of projects (including, but not limited to, succession and hiring projects, completion of specific acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations, or other corporate transactions or capital-raising transactions, expansions of specific business operations, and meeting divisional or project budgets); (xxiv) comparisons of continuing operations to other operations; (xxv) market share; (xxvi) cost of capital, debt leverage, year-end cash position or book value; (xxvii) strategic objectives; or (xxviii) any combination of the foregoing. Any one or more of the aforementioned Performance Conditions may be stated as a percentage of another Performance Condition, or used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of one or more of New Vivint or its subsidiaries as a whole or any divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments, or administrative departments of New Vivint and/or one or more of its subsidiaries or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above performance criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices.

Options. Under the 2020 Omnibus Plan, the Committee may grant non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options with terms and conditions determined by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the 2020 Omnibus Plan; provided, that all stock options granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan are required to have a per share exercise price that is not less than 100% of the fair market value of our shares of Class A common stock underlying such stock options on the date such stock options are granted (other than in the case of options that are Substitute Awards), and all stock options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options must be granted pursuant to an award agreement expressly stating that the options are intended to qualify as incentive stock options, and will be subject to the terms and conditions that comply with the rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. The maximum term for stock options granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan will be ten years from the initial date of grant, or with respect to any stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, such shorter period as prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. However, if a non-qualified stock option would expire at a time when trading of our shares of Class A common stock is prohibited by our insider trading policy (or ‘blackout period’ imposed by us), the term will automatically be extended to the 30th day following the end of such period. The purchase price for the shares of Class A common stock as to which a stock option is exercised may be paid to us, to the extent permitted by law (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent and/or shares of Class A common stock valued at the fair market value at the time the option is exercised; provided, that such shares of Class A common stock are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and have been held by the participant for at least six months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles) or (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion, including, without limitation: (a) in other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, (b) if there is a public

market for the shares of Class A common stock at such time, by means of a broker-assisted ‘cashless exercise’ pursuant to which we are delivered (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Committee) a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the shares of Class A common stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the option and to deliver promptly to us an amount equal to the exercise price or (c) a “net exercise” procedure effected by withholding the minimum number of shares of Class A common stock otherwise issuable in respect of an option that is needed to pay the exercise price. Any fractional shares of Class A common stock shall be settled in cash.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) under the 2020 Omnibus Plan, with terms and conditions determined by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the 2020 Omnibus Plan. The maximum term for SARs granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan will be ten years from the initial date of grant. The Committee may also award SARs independent of any option. Generally, each SAR will entitle the participant upon exercise to an amount (in cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Committee) equal to the product of (i) the excess of (a) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of Class A common stock over (b) the strike price per share of Class A common stock covered by the SAR, times (ii) the number of shares of Class A common stock covered by the SAR, less any taxes required to be withheld. The strike price per share of Class A common stock covered by a SAR will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but in no event may such amount be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date the SAR is granted (other than in the case of SARs granted in substitution of previously granted awards).

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may grant restricted shares of our shares of Class A common stock or restricted stock units, representing the right to receive, upon vesting and the expiration of any applicable restricted period, one share of Class A common stock for each restricted stock unit, or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, the cash value thereof (or any combination thereof). As to restricted shares of our shares of Class A common stock, subject to the other provisions of the 2020 Omnibus Plan, the holder will generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such restricted shares of Class A common stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such restricted shares of Class A common stock and receive dividends in respect of such restricted stock, subject to the limitations described below.

Other Equity-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards. The Committee may grant other equity-based or cash-based awards under the 2020 Omnibus Plan, with terms and conditions determined by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the 2020 Omnibus Plan.

Effect of Certain Events on the 2020 Omnibus Plan and Awards. In the event of (i) any dividend (other than regular cash dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Class A common stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Class A common stock or other securities, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Class A common stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the shares of Class A common stock (including a “Change in Control”, as defined in the 2020 Omnibus Plan); or (ii) unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us, including changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations, or other requirements, that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, could result in substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, participants (any event in (i) or (ii), an “Adjustment Event”), the Committee will, in respect of any such Adjustment Event, make such proportionate substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems equitable, to any or all of (a) the Absolute Share Limit, or any other limit applicable under the 2020 Omnibus Plan with respect to the number of awards which may be granted thereunder; (b) the number of our shares of Class A common stock or other of our securities (or number and kind of other securities or other property) which may be issued in respect of awards or with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan; and (c) the terms of any outstanding award, including, without limitation, (x) the number of our shares of Class A common stock or other of our securities (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding awards or to which outstanding awards relate; (y) the exercise price or strike

price with respect to any award; or (z) any applicable performance measures; provided, that in the case of any “equity restructuring”, (within the meaning of the FASB ASC Topic 718 (or any successor pronouncement thereto)) the Committee will make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding awards to reflect such equity restructuring. In connection with any Adjustment Event, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for any one or more of the following: (i) substitution or assumption of awards, acceleration of the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, awards or a period of time for participants to exercise outstanding awards prior to the occurrence of such event; and (ii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, cancellation of any one or more outstanding awards and payment to the holders of such awards that are vested as of such cancellation (including, without limitation, any awards that would vest as a result of the occurrence of such event but for such cancellation or for which vesting is accelerated by the Committee in connection with such event) the value of such awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which value, if applicable, may be based upon the price per share of Class A common stock received or to be received by other holders of our shares of Class A common stock in such event), including, without limitation, in the case of stock options and SARs, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock subject to the option or SAR over the aggregate exercise price or strike price thereof, or, in the case of restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other equity-based awards that are not vested as of such cancellation, a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such award prior to cancellation of the underlying shares in respect thereof.

Nontransferability of Awards. No award will be permitted to be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance will be void and unenforceable against us or any of our subsidiaries. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit awards (other than incentive stock options) to be transferred, including transfers to a participant’s family members, any trust established solely for the benefit of a participant or such participant’s family members, any partnership or limited liability company of which a participant, or such participant and such participant’s family members, are the sole member(s), and a beneficiary to whom donations are eligible to be treated as “charitable contributions” for tax purposes.

Amendment and Termination. The New Vivint Parent board of directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2020 Omnibus Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination may be made without stockholder approval if (i) such approval is necessary to comply with any regulatory requirement applicable to the 2020 Omnibus Plan or for changes in GAAP to new accounting standards; (ii) it would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the 2020 Omnibus Plan (except for adjustments in connection with certain corporate events); or (iii) it would materially modify the requirements for participation in the 2020 Omnibus Plan; provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant or any holder or beneficiary of any award will not to that extent be effective without such individual’s consent.

The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any award granted or the associated award agreement, prospectively or retroactively (including after a termination); provided, that, except as otherwise permitted in the 2020 Omnibus Plan, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant with respect to such award will not to that extent be effective without such individual’s consent; provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted in the 2020 Omnibus Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the exercise price of any option or the strike price of any SAR; (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding option or SAR and replace it with a new option or SAR (with a lower exercise price or strike price, as the case may be) or other award or cash payment that is greater than the value of the cancelled option or SAR; and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action which is considered

a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which our securities are listed or quoted.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. The Committee in its sole discretion may provide as part of an award dividends or dividend equivalents, on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any dividends payable in respect of restricted stock awards that remain subject to vesting conditions shall be retained by the Company and delivered to the participant within 15 days following the date on which such restrictions on such restricted stock awards lapse and, if such restricted stock is forfeited, the participant shall have no right to such dividends. Dividends attributable to restricted stock units shall be distributed to the participant in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Class A common stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the settlement of the restricted stock units and, if such restricted stock units are forfeited, the participant shall have no right to such dividends.

Clawback/Repayment. All awards are subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the New Vivint Parent board of directors or the Committee and as in effect from time to time and (ii) applicable law. To the extent that a participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the participant will be required to repay us any such excess amount.

Detrimental Activity. If a participant has engaged in any detrimental activity, as defined in the 2020 Omnibus Plan, as determined by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for one or more of the following: (i) cancellation of any or all of such participant’s outstanding awards or (ii) forfeiture and repayment to us on any gain realized on the vesting, exercise or settlement of any awards previously granted to such participant.

Tax Consequences. The following is a brief summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of transactions under the 2020 Omnibus Plan based on current U.S. federal income tax laws. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, does not constitute tax advice and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign tax consequences.

Non-Qualified Options. No taxable income is realized by a participant upon the grant of a stock option. Upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock for which the option is exercised over the aggregate option exercise price. Income and payroll taxes are required to be withheld by the participant’s employer on the amount of ordinary income resulting to the participant from the exercise of a stock option. The amount recognized as income by the participant is generally deductible by the participant’s employer for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations on deductibility of compensation paid to some executives under Section 162(m). The participant’s tax basis in shares of Class A common stock acquired by exercise of a stock option will be equal to the exercise price plus the amount taxable as ordinary income to the participant.

Upon a sale of the shares of Class A common stock received by the participant upon exercise of the stock option, any gain or loss will generally be treated for federal income tax purposes as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the holding period of that stock. The participant’s holding period for shares acquired upon the exercise of a stock option begins on the date of exercise of that stock option. If the participant pays the exercise price in full or in part by using shares of previously acquired Class A common stock, the exercise will not affect the tax treatment described above, and no gain or loss generally will be recognized to the participant with respect to the previously acquired shares. The shares received upon exercise which are equal in number to the previously acquired shares used will have the same tax basis as the previously acquired shares surrendered to us and will have a holding period for determining capital gain or loss that includes the holding

 

113


Table of Contents

period of the shares used. The value of the remaining shares received by the participant will be taxable to the participant as compensation. The remaining shares will have a tax basis equal to the fair market value recognized by the participant as compensation income, and the holding period will commence on the exercise date.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is realized by a participant upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option; however, the exercise of an incentive stock option will give rise to an item of tax preference that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the participant. If shares of Class A common stock are issued to a participant after the exercise of an incentive stock option and if no disqualifying disposition of those shares is made by that participant within two years after the date of grant or within one year after the receipt of those shares by that participant, then:

 

   

upon the sale of those shares, any amount realized in excess of the option exercise price will be taxed to that participant as a long-term capital gain, and

 

   

New Vivint will be allowed no deduction.

If shares of Class A common stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of either holding period described above, that disposition would be a “disqualifying disposition”, and generally:

 

   

the participant will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of the shares, over the option exercise price, and

 

   

New Vivint will be entitled to deduct that amount.

Any other gain realized by the participant on that disposition will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain and will not result in any deduction to us. If a participant pays the exercise price in full or in part with previously acquired shares of Class A common stock, the exchange will not affect the tax treatment of the exercise. Upon the exchange, no gain or loss generally will be recognized upon the delivery of the previously acquired shares to us, and the shares issued in replacement of the shares used to pay the exercise price will have the same basis and holding period for capital gain purposes as the previously acquired shares. A participant, however, would not be able to utilize the holding period for the previously acquired shares for purposes of satisfying the incentive stock option statutory holding period requirements. Additional shares of Class A common stock will have a basis of zero and a holding period that commences on the date the Class A common stock is issued to the participant upon exercise of the incentive stock option. If this exercise is effected using shares of Class A common stock previously acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option, the exchange of the previously acquired shares may be a disqualifying disposition of that Class A common stock if the holding periods discussed above have not been met.

If an incentive stock option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies as an incentive stock option, the option will be treated as a nonqualified option. Subject to some exceptions for disability or death, an incentive stock option generally will not be eligible for the federal income tax treatment described above if it is exercised more than three months following a termination of employment.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the participant will recognize compensation income in an amount equal to the cash received plus the fair market value of any Class A common stock received from the exercise. The participant’s tax basis in the shares of Class A common stock received on exercise of the SAR will be equal to the compensation income recognized with respect to the Class A common stock. The participant’s holding period for shares acquired after the exercise of a SAR begins on the exercise date. Income and payroll taxes are required to be withheld on the amount of compensation attributable to the exercise of the SAR, whether the income is paid in cash or shares. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the participant’s employer will generally be entitled to a deduction in the amount of the compensation income recognized by the participant, subject to the requirements of Section 162(m), if applicable.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. Restricted stock that is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture generally results in income recognition by the participant in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of stock over the purchase price, if any, of the restricted stock at the time the restrictions lapse. However, if permitted by New Vivint, a recipient of restricted stock may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to instead be taxed on the excess of the fair market value of the shares granted, measured at the time of grant and determined without regard to any applicable risk of forfeiture or transfer restrictions, over the purchase price, if any, of such restricted stock. A participant who has been granted shares of Class A common stock that are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for federal income tax purposes will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of grant. A recipient of RSUs, performance awards or other stock-based awards (other than restricted stock) will generally recognize ordinary income at the time that the award is settled in an amount equal to the cash and/or fair market value of the shares received at settlement. In each of these cases, New Vivint will have a corresponding tax deduction at the same time the participant recognizes such income, subject to the limitations of Section 162(m), if applicable.

New Plan Benefits

No awards have been made under the 2020 Omnibus Plan subject to stockholder approval of this proposal. The number and types of awards that will be granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan in the future are not determinable, as the Committee will make these determinations in its sole discretion. On November 19, 2019, the closing price of the underlying shares of Mosaic Class A common stock traded on the NYSE was $10.23 per share.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

As of December 31, 2018, Mosaic had no compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities of Mosaic were authorized for issuance.

Registration with the SEC

If the 2020 Omnibus Plan is approved by our stockholders and becomes effective, Mosaic intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Omnibus Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after Mosaic becomes eligible to use such form.

Vote Required

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented at the Mosaic Special Meeting. The approval of the Merger Issuance Proposal requires the majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Incentive Plan Proposal.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be effected.

The Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Incentive Plan Proposal. See “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

PROPOSAL NO. 17—THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow Mosaic’s board of directors to adjourn the Mosaic Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Mosaic Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal, or holders of Mosaic’s public shares have elected to redeem an amount of public shares such that Mosaic would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the Maximum Redemption Condition would not be satisfied or waived by Vivint Smart Home. In no event will Mosaic’s board of directors adjourn the Mosaic Special Meeting or consummate the merger beyond the date by which it may properly do so under our existing charter and Delaware law.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by Mosaic’s stockholders, Mosaic’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the Mosaic Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Fortress Issuance Proposal, the Blackstone Issuance Proposal, the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, the Merger Issuance Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal, or holders of Mosaic’s public shares have elected to redeem an amount of public shares such that Mosaic would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the Maximum Redemption Condition would not be satisfied or waived by Vivint Smart Home, and may be unable to consummate the merger. If we do not consummate the merger and fail to complete an initial business combination by January 23, 2020 (subject to the requirements of law), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

The merger is not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

The Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). See “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

PROPOSAL NO. 18—THE ADDITIONAL FORWARD PURCHASER INVESTMENT PROPOSAL

Prior to and in connection with the merger, we intend to effect the issuance and sale of 5,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to the Additional Forward Purchaser pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement.

Why Mosaic Needs Stockholder Approval

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Under Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in certain circumstances, including if the number of shares of common stock to be issued in a series of related transactions is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Mosaic common stock issuable pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement, the Fortress Subscription Agreement, the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement and the Blackstone Subscription Agreements, a series of related transactions, represent greater than 20% of the number of shares of Mosaic common stock before such issuance. As a result, stockholder approval of the issuance of shares Mosaic common stock issuable pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement is required under the NYSE regulations.

Vote Required

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal will not be presented at the Mosaic Special Meeting. The approval of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal requires the majority of the votes cast by the Mosaic stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Mosaic Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Mosaic Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal will not be effected.

The Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment Proposal. See “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

INFORMATION ABOUT MOSAIC

References in this section to “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “Mosaic” generally refer to Mosaic Acquisition Corp.

General

Mosaic is a blank check company originally incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Effective December 21, 2018, Mosaic changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Mosaic’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to any particular industry or geographic region. Prior to executing the merger agreement, Mosaic’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of Mosaic’s IPO and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Initial Public Offering and Private Placement

In August 2017, the Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 8,625,000 of its Founder Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, with each Sponsor purchasing an equal number of Founder Shares. In October 2017, the Sponsors transferred an aggregate of 30,000 Founder Shares to one of its independent directors for their original purchase price.

On October 23, 2017, Mosaic completed its initial public offering of 34,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (“units”), generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Each unit consists of one share of Mosaic’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, and one-third of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

Concurrently with the completion of Mosaic’s IPO, the Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 5,933,334 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or $8,900,001 in the aggregate, with each Sponsor purchasing an equal number of warrants. The purchase price of the private placement warrants was added to the net proceeds of Mosaic’s IPO and placed in the Trust Account such that the Trust Account held $345,000,000 at the time of closing of Mosaic’s IPO. Each whole private placement warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

In addition, Mosaic entered into forward purchase agreements pursuant to which certain anchor investors (including an affiliate of Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC) agreed to purchase an aggregate of 15,789,474 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $9.50 multiplied by the number of shares of Class A common stock purchased, or approximately $150,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of our initial business combination. The shares of Class A common stock to be purchased by the anchor investors are referred to herein as the forward purchase shares.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The NYSE rules require that Mosaic’s initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of it signing a definitive agreement in connection with an initial business combination. Mosaic’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination with Vivint Smart Home as described in the section titled “The Merger” in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Table of Contents

Stockholder Approval of Merger and Redemptions

Under Mosaic’s existing charter, in connection with any proposed business combination, Mosaic is not required to seek stockholder approval of a business combination at a meeting called for such purpose. Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require stockholder approval while direct mergers with Mosaic where it does not survive and any transactions where Mosaic issues more than 20% of its outstanding shares of common stock or seeks to amend its existing charter would require stockholder approval.

Pursuant to the terms of this transaction as described in the section titled “Mosaic Special Meeting of Stockholders” in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, Mosaic is seeking stockholder approval at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination, subject to the limitations described in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Accordingly, in connection with the merger, the Mosaic public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares for cash in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Mosaic will complete the merger only if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock vote in favor of the merger. A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding Mosaic common stock entitled to vote at the Mosaic Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Mosaic Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Mosaic Special Meeting. The holders of the Founder Shares, who currently own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mosaic common stock, will count towards this quorum.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

Pursuant to the terms of the Mosaic letter agreement entered into with Mosaic, the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after Mosaic’s IPO in favor of an initial business combination. See “Other Agreements—Mosaic Letter Agreement” for more information. Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have also agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after Mosaic’s IPO in favor of all of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. See “Other Agreements—Sponsor Agreement” for more information. The Sponsors, Mosaic’s directors and officers and their permitted transferees own at least 20% of its outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon. The quorum and voting thresholds at the Mosaic Special Meeting, the Mosaic letter agreement and the Sponsor Agreement may make it more likely that Mosaic will consummate the merger. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Mosaic letter agreement and the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of a business combination.

Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination

The Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have agreed that it will have only 27 months from the closing of Mosaic’s IPO (including a three month extension since Mosaic executed the merger agreement within 24 months from the closing of Mosaic’s IPO but has not yet completed the initial business combination) to complete any initial business combination. If Mosaic is unable to complete an initial business combination within such 27 month period, Mosaic will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Mosaic to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further

liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and Mosaic’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Mosaic’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to its warrants, which will expire worthless if Mosaic fails to complete an initial business combination within the 27 month time period.

Pursuant to the Mosaic letter agreement and the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if Mosaic fails to complete an initial business combination within 27 months from Mosaic’s IPO. The Sponsors and Mosaic’s directors and officers will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares acquired in the aftermarket if Mosaic fails to complete its initial business combination within the allotted time period.

Pursuant to the Mosaic letter agreement, the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have agreed that they will not propose any amendment to Mosaic’s existing charter that would affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if Mosaic does not complete an initial business combination within 27 months from the closing of Mosaic’s IPO, unless Mosaic provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Mosaic to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, Mosaic may not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that it does not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules).

Mosaic expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the $1,100,000 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, although Mosaic cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, Mosaic may request the trustee to release to it an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If Mosaic were to expend all of the net proceeds of Mosaic’s IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon Mosaic’s dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of Mosaic’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of its public stockholders. Mosaic cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. While Mosaic intends to pay such amounts, if any, it cannot assure you that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although Mosaic seeks to have all third parties, service providers (other than its independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which it does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute or have executed such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against its assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Mosaic’s management

performs an analysis of the alternatives available to it and only enters into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to Mosaic than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where Mosaic may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.

In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Mosaic and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of its public shares, if Mosaic is unable to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with its initial business combination, Mosaic will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Mosaic within the 10 years following redemption. The Sponsors have agreed that they will be liable to Mosaic, jointly and severally, if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than Mosaic’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to Mosaic, or a prospective target business with which Mosaic has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to fund Mosaic’s working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under its indemnity of the underwriters of Mosaic’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsors will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. Mosaic has not independently verified whether the Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsors’ only assets are securities of its company and, therefore, its Sponsors may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of Mosaic’s other officers will indemnify Mosaic for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to fund Mosaic’s working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes, and the Sponsors assert that they are unable to satisfy their indemnification obligations or that they have no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Mosaic’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against its Sponsors to enforce their indemnification obligations. While Mosaic currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsors to enforce their indemnification obligations to Mosaic, it is possible that its independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, Mosaic cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per share redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.00 per share.

Mosaic will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsors will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all third parties, service providers (other than its independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which Mosaic does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsors will also not be liable as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of Mosaic’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Mosaic will have access to up to $928,388 from the proceeds of Mosaic’s IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with its liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that Mosaic liquidates and it is subsequently determined

 

121


Table of Contents

that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from Mosaic’s Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

If Mosaic files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Mosaic that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Mosaic’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, Mosaic cannot assure you it will be able to return $10.00 per share to its public stockholders. Additionally, if Mosaic files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance”. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by Mosaic’s stockholders. Furthermore, Mosaic’s board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Mosaic’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Mosaic to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Mosaic cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against Mosaic for these reasons.

Mosaic’s public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only in the event of the redemption of its public shares if Mosaic does not complete an initial business combination within 27 months from the closing of Mosaic’s IPO or if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of an initial business combination. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In connection with the merger, a stockholder’s vote in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares of Mosaic for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights.

Facilities

Mosaic currently maintains its executive offices at 375 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10152. Mosaic considers its current office space adequate for its current operations. Mosaic entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Mosaic Sponsor, LLC, pursuant to which it pays such affiliate a total of $16,875 per month for office space and related support services.

Upon consummation of the merger, the principal executive offices of Mosaic will be those of Vivint Smart Home, at which time nothing more will be paid to such affiliate of the Sponsor.

Employees

Mosaic currently has three officers and does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of an initial business combination. Members of Mosaic’s management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to its matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to Mosaic’s affairs until Mosaic has completed its initial business combination.

Periodic Reporting and Financial Information

Mosaic’s units, Class A common stock and warrants are registered under the Exchange Act and Mosaic has reporting obligations, including the requirement that it file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, Mosaic’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by its independent registered public accounting firm.

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against Mosaic or any members of its management team in their capacity as such.

Management Compensation

Mosaic entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with CFO Bullpen LLC, a New Hampshire limited liability company wholly owned by Mr. Mitchell. Under the Services Agreement, Mr. Mitchell provides services to Mosaic as its Chief Financial Officer. Per the Services Agreement, Mosaic pays a monthly retainer of $5,000 which commenced on the closing of Mosaic’s IPO. The Services Agreement also provides that Mosaic will also make a deferred cash payment to him upon completion of an initial business combination, liquidation or Mr. Mitchell’s termination of engagement, whichever occurs first, equal to $330.00 multiplied by the number of hours Mr. Mitchell has worked to such date, less the total amount of the $5,000 monthly retainer already paid to CFO Bullpen LLC. Additionally, Mosaic will issue Class A common stock to CFO Bullpen LLC upon completion of its initial business combination equal to 17.895 shares per hour Mr. Mitchell worked for Mosaic up to the date of such combination with such shares delivered on the six-month anniversary of such date. CFO Bullpen LLC must be engaged by Mosaic on the date of its initial business combination or liquidation (as applicable) to receive the foregoing equity awards; however, CFO Bullpen LLC will remain eligible to receive such awards if the consulting relationship is terminated by Mosaic without Cause or by CFO Bullpen LLC for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Services Agreement and described below).

Per the Services Agreement, “Cause” is generally defined as (i) the willful and continuing refusal of Mr. Mitchell to follow the lawful directives of Mosaic’s CEO or board of directors, provided such directives are consistent with Mr. Mitchell’s title and position; (ii) conduct that is intentional and known by Mr. Mitchell to be materially harmful or potentially materially harmful to Mosaic’s best interest; (iii) gross negligence in the performance of, or willful disregard of, Mr. Mitchell’s obligations under the agreement; (iv) Mr. Mitchell’s conviction of any felony; (v) Mr. Mitchell’s commission of any act of dishonesty or moral turpitude which, in the good-faith opinion of Mosaic’s board of directors, is materially detrimental to Mosaic; or (vi) any material breach by CFO Bullpen LLC or Mr. Mitchell of the agreement. Per the Services Agreement, “Good Reason” is generally defined as (i) any material breach by Mosaic of its obligations under the agreement; (ii) a significant diminution of Mitchell’s position as the Chief Financial Officer of Mosaic without CFO Bullpen LLC’s consent; or (iii) a failure by the company to obtain a written agreement from any successor or assign of Mosaic to assume the material obligations under the agreement upon the consummation of a business combination.

MOSAIC’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the Mosaic’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Mosaic’s financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion, including, but not limited to, those described under the heading “Risk Factors” and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. References in this section to “we”, “us”, “our”, and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Mosaic Acquisition Corp.

Overview

We are a blank check company, originally incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 26, 2017 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. Effective December 21, 2018, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Our sponsors are Mosaic Sponsor, LLC and Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsors”).

The registration statement for Mosaic’s IPO was declared effective on October 18, 2017. On October 23, 2017, we consummated the initial public offering of 34,500,000 units (“units”), including the issuance of 4,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $345 million and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.7 million, inclusive of $12.075 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of Mosaic’s IPO, we consummated the private placement (the “private placement”) of 5,933,334 warrants (the “private placement warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, with the Sponsors, generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million.

Upon the closing of Mosaic’s IPO and private placement, $345 million ($10.00 per unit) of the aggregate net proceeds of the sale of the units in Mosaic’s IPO and the private placement was placed in a U.S.-based Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Beginning in January 2018, the proceeds held in the Trust Account have been invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) our failure to consummate a business combination within 24 months from the closing of Mosaic’s IPO (or October 23, 2019), or 27 months from the closing of Mosaic’s IPO (or January 23, 2020) if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of Mosaic’s IPO (the “Combination Period”).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsors had agreed to indemnify the Trust Account if and to the extent any claims by third parties, such as a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.00 per share. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of Mosaic’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsors will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of Mosaic’s IPO, the over-allotment, and the private placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied toward consummating a business combination.

On December 5, 2017, we announced that, commencing December 8, 2017, holders of the 34,500,000 units sold in Mosaic’s IPO may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and the warrants included in the units. Those units not separated continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “MOSC.U” and the Class A ordinary shares and warrants that were separated trade under the symbols “MOSC” and “MOSC WS”, respectively.

Upon our domestication in the State of Delaware on December 21, 2018, each of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class F ordinary shares became, by operation of law, one share of Class A common stock or Class F common stock, respectively. Consequently, each holder of a unit, Class A ordinary share, Class F ordinary share or warrant immediately prior to the domestication held a unit, share of Class A common stock, share of Class F common stock or warrant representing the same proportional equity interest in Mosaic as that shareholder held prior to the domestication and representing the same class of security. Mosaic’s units, common stock and warrants continue to be listed for trading on the NYSE under the symbols “MOSC.U”, “MOSC” and “MOSC WS”, respectively. See “Mosaic’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Recent Developments—Domestication pursuant to Section 388 of the DGCL”.

Recent Developments

New York Stock Exchange Notice

On October 3, 2018, we were notified by the NYSE that Mosaic was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because it has fewer than 300 public stockholders.

We delivered a business plan to the NYSE within 45 days of receipt of the notification outlining how we intended to cure the deficiency and comply with the NYSE continued listing requirement. We can avoid delisting if, within 18 months following receipt of the NYSE notice, our securities are owned by at least 300 public stockholders. We expect that upon completion of the merger, we will have at least 400 public stockholders.

If our common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, including failure to comply with Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, it could negatively impact us by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could further harm the performance of our common stock and negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to its employees.

Under the NYSE rules, our common stock will continue to be traded on the NYSE during this period, subject to our compliance with other continued listing requirements.

Domestication pursuant to Section 388 of the DGCL

On December 21, 2018, we held an extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) of our shareholders to consider certain proposals related to our domicile, including a domestication proposal to change our jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Company”) and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication Proposal”). A total of 32,729,725 (75.9%) of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares held of record as of November 26, 2018, the record date for the EGM, were present either in person or by proxy, which constituted a quorum, and the requisite number of shares were voted in favor of the Domestication Proposal.

Effective December 21, 2018, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). Mosaic discontinued its existence as a Cayman Islands exempted company as provided under the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2018 Revision) and, pursuant to Section 388 of the DGCL, continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware.

Table of Contents

In accordance with Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, the shares of Mosaic common stock, as the successor to the Cayman Company were deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

In the Domestication, each of the Cayman Company’s outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class F ordinary shares became, by operation of law, one share of Mosaic Class A common stock or Class F common stock, respectively. Consequently, each holder of a Cayman Company unit, Class A ordinary share, Class F ordinary share or warrant immediately prior to the Domestication now holds a unit, share of Class A common stock, share of Class F common stock or warrant representing the same proportional equity interest in Mosaic as that stockholder held in the Cayman Company and representing the same class of security.

Mosaic’s units, common stock and warrants continue to be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “MOSC.U”, “MOSC” and “MOSC WS”, respectively. Upon effectiveness of the Domestication, Mosaic’s CUSIP numbers relating to its units, common stock and warrants changed to 61946M 209, 61946M 100 and 61946M 118, respectively.

The rights of holders of the Mosaic common stock are now governed by its Delaware certificate of incorporation, its Delaware by-laws and the DGCL, each of which is described in the Cayman Company’s final proxy statement/prospectus dated December 3, 2018 relating to the Domestication, which was filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on December 3, 2018, which is part of Mosaic’s registration statement on Form S-4, which was filed with the SEC on November 5, 2018 and was amended on November 27, 2018 (Registration No. 333-228187).

The business, assets and liabilities of Mosaic, as well as its principal locations and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. In addition, the directors and executive officers of Mosaic immediately after the Domestication were the same individuals who were directors and executive officers, respectively, of the Cayman Company immediately prior to the Domestication.

Merger Agreement

On September 15, 2019, we entered into the merger agreement, by and among Mosaic, Merger Sub and Vivint Smart Home. On December 18, 2019, Mosaic, Merger Sub and Vivint Smart Home entered into Amendment No. 1 to the merger agreement (the “merger agreement amendment”), to amend the merger agreement to provide, among other things, to (i) reduce the exchange ratio and VGI exchange ratio from 209.6849221312 and 0.2076986176 to 84.5320916792 and 0.0864152412, respectively, to reflect a reduced transaction enterprise valuation of $4.1 billion, (ii) provide for an additional 12.5 million of Class A common shares to be issued to Vivint Smart Home’s holders upon achievement of a $17.50 earnout threshold, (iii) provide for the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement and Additional Forward Purchaser Investment, (iv) decrease the termination fee to $32.4 million and (v) agree to adjourn the special meeting to approve the merger to January 14, 2020. All descriptions of the terms of the merger agreement included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus give effect to the merger agreement amendment. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, a business combination between Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Vivint Smart Home, with Vivint Smart Home surviving as the surviving company. At the effective time, each stockholder of Vivint Smart Home will receive 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock for each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock that such stockholder owns. The business combination is subject to the approval of our stockholders, as well as other closing conditions. See “The Merger Agreement”.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2019 related to our formation, commencement of Mosaic’s IPO, entering into forward purchase agreement, and, since the offering, our activity has been limited to

the search for a prospective initial business combination, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the period from July 26, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we had a net loss of approximately $217,000, which consisted solely of general and administrative costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had a net income of approximately $5.3 million, which consisted of approximately $871,000 in general and administrative expenses, approximately $5,500 in franchise tax expense, approximately $44,000 in income tax expense, offset by approximately $6.2 million in interest income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had a net income of approximately $715,000, which consisted of approximately $1.7 million in interest income, offset by approximately $617,000 in general and administrative expenses, $50,000 in franchise tax expense, and approximately $354,000 in income tax expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had a net income of approximately $3.6 million, which consisted of approximately $5.9 million in interest income, offset by approximately $982,000 in general and administrative expenses, approximately $145,000 in franchise tax expense, and approximately $1.2 million in income tax expense.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had a net income of approximately $1.5 million, which consisted of approximately $157,000 in general and administrative expenses offset by approximately $1.6 million in interest income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had a net income of approximately $3.7 million, which consisted of approximately $519,000 in general and administrative expenses offset by approximately $4.2 million in interest income.

Going Concern

As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, at September 30, 2019, we had approximately $687,000 in our operating bank account, approximately $9.3 million of interest income from investments held in Trust Account available to fund working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of $750,000, of which we already withdrew $561,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019) and/or to pay for our tax obligations, and working capital of approximately $651,000.

Through September 30, 2019, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsors in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares to the Sponsors, $100,000 in loans from the Sponsors, the net offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account which resulted from the consummation of Mosaic’s IPO and the sale of private placement warrants to the Sponsors, and the interest released from Trust Account for working capital (subject to an annual limit of $750,000) of approximately $1.5 million and approximately $1.4 million for taxes obligations since inception.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsors or an affiliate of the Sponsors, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”).

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management has not recorded any adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities after considering the requirement to liquidate after January 23, 2020 if we are unable to complete a business combination.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On August 15, 2017, we issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Founder Shares to the Sponsors in exchange for an aggregate capital contribution of $25,000, with each Sponsor purchasing an equal number of Founder Shares. The Sponsors agreed to forfeit an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. On October 23, 2017, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option. As a result, the 1,125,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of a business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.

The Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earliest of (a) one year after the completion of the initial business combination, (b) subsequent to the initial business combination, if the last reported sale price of the Mosaic common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (c) following the completion of the initial business combination, such future date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Forward Purchase Agreements

We entered into forward purchase agreements with anchor investors (including an affiliate of Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC), pursuant to which the anchor investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 15,789,474 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $9.50 multiplied by the number of Class A common stock purchased (“forward purchase shares”), or approximately $150,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination.

In connection with the forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors, the Sponsors will receive (by way of an adjustment to their existing Founder Shares) an aggregate number of additional Founder Shares equal to one ninth of the aggregate number of forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors.

If the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock is less than $11.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like) for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the first anniversary of our initial business combination, each anchor investor may purchase from the Sponsors, at a price per share of Class A common stock of $0.01, a number of Class A common stock no greater than (a) the number of forward purchase shares issued and sold to such anchor investor less any forward purchase shares sold by such anchor investor prior to its exercise of the right to purchase such contingent call shares divided by (b) 18 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like).

The forward purchase agreements also provided that the anchor investors are entitled to a right of first offer with respect to any proposed sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities by us for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination (other than forward purchase shares) and registration rights with respect to their forward purchase securities.

The forward purchase agreements provided that prior to our initial business combination each anchor investor has the right to designate one individual to be, at its election, either elected as a member of our board of directors or a non-voting observer of our board of directors.

The proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial business combination, expenses in connection with the initial business combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. These purchases will be required to be made regardless of whether any Class A common stock is redeemed by the public stockholders and are intended to provide us with a minimum funding level for the initial business combination.

The anchor investors will have no right to the funds held in the Trust Account except with respect to any public shares owned by them.

Promissory Note—Related Party

The Sponsors had loaned us an aggregate of $100,000 to cover expenses related to Mosaic’s IPO pursuant to a promissory note. The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of March 31, 2018 or the closing of Mosaic’s IPO. We repaid the promissory note on October 23, 2017.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsors or an affiliate of either Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide Working Capital Loans to us as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released for working capital purposes. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. There were no Working Capital Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Office Space and Related Support Services

Effective October 18, 2017, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of one of the Sponsors a monthly fee of $16,875 for office space and related support services.

On October 18, 2017, we agreed to pay a monthly fee of $5,000 for our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) commencing on the closing of Mosaic’s IPO, plus a deferred cash payment of $330 per hour, less cumulative monthly fees paid, payable upon completion of our initial business combination or liquidation, whichever occurs first. We had also agreed to pay our CFO according to the agreement for services performed prior to the closing of Mosaic’s IPO. Any deferred cash payment will not be claimed against the Trust Account. Additionally, we will issue Class A common stock to him upon completion of our initial business combination (“Equity Compensation”). The number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued is determined in accordance with an agreed formula, which is estimated to be 8,683 shares as of September 30, 2019. We are not obligated to issue the Equity Compensation if no business combination is consummated.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred approximately $71,000 and $60,000, respectively, for services provided by related parties in connection with these aforementioned agreements, as reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred approximately $199,000 and $190,000, respectively, for services provided by related parties in connection with these aforementioned agreements, as reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Fortress Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC, an affiliate of one of the Sponsors, entered into a subscription agreement

Table of Contents

pursuant to which such funds subscribed for 12,500,000 newly-issued shares of common stock to be issued at the closing of the merger. The obligations to consummate the subscription is conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Additionally, in connection with the execution of the merger agreement amendment, the Fortress Subscribers entered into the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement, pursuant to which the Fortress Subscribers committed to purchase up to $50,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock as follows: the Fortress Subscribers (i) intend to purchase up to $50,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock in the open market, (ii) agreed to backstop redemptions by subscribing for a number of shares of newly-issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at a purchase price per share equal to the Trust Value to be issued at the closing of the merger with an aggregate value equal to the lesser of (x) $50,000,000 (less the aggregate purchase price of the shares purchased by it in the open market) and (y) the aggregate value of the number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock that elect to redeem in the redemption offer (based on the Trust Value) and (iii) agreed to subscribe for up to $50,000,000 (less the aggregate purchase price of the shares purchased by it in the open market and to backstop redemptions) in aggregate purchase price of newly-issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at $10.00 per share to be issued at the election of Vivint Smart Home at the closing of the merger. The obligations to consummate the subscriptions contemplated by the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. See “Other Agreements—Subscription Agreements”.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 33,784,066 and 33,427,182 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Our statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share.

Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock for three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of funds available to be withdrawn from trust for working capital (subject to an annual limit of $750,000) and tax payable purposes, resulted in a total of approximately $955,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of funds available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account for working capital (subject to an annual limit of $750,000) and tax payable purposes, resulted in a total of approximately $1.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period.

 

134


Table of Contents

Net income (loss) per common stock, basic and diluted for Class F common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 are calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A common stock by the weighted average number of Class F common stock outstanding for the period.

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in Mosaic’s IPO (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,433,334 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method at September 30, 2018 and 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

All activity through September 30, 2019 related to our formation and the Initial Public Offering and identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an initial business combination. On January 2, 2018, the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants held in the Trust Account were invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk. Prior to 2018, such proceeds were not invested and were held in a non-interest-bearing Trust Account.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT OF MOSAIC

The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Mosaic’s Class A common stock and Class F common stock, as of November 19, 2019, the record date for the Mosaic Special Meeting, for (1) each person known by Mosaic to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Mosaic’s outstanding common stock, (2) each member of Mosaic’s board of directors that beneficially own Mosaic common stock, (3) each of Mosaic’s named executive officers that beneficially own Mosaic common stock and (4) all of the members of Mosaic’s board of directors and Mosaic’s executive officers as a group. As of November 19, 2019, Mosaic had 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, owned by one holder of record, and 8,625,000 shares of Class F common stock outstanding, owned by two holders of record.

The number of shares and the percentages of beneficial ownership below are based on the number of shares of Mosaic common stock issued and outstanding as of November 19, 2019. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of such person, Mosaic deemed to be outstanding all shares of common stock subject to options held by the person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 19, 2019. Mosaic did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days.

Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their beneficially owned common stock.

INFORMATION ABOUT VIVINT SMART HOME

References in this section to “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “Vivint Smart Home” generally refer to Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Vivint Smart Home’s Business

We are a smart home technology company. Our mission is to redefine the home experience through intelligently designed cloud-enabled solutions delivered to every home by people who care. Our brand name, Vivint, represents “to live intelligently”, and our solutions help our subscribers do just that.

Creating a true smart home experience requires an end-to-end platform designed to drive broad consumer adoption. Our smart home platform is comprised of the following five pillars: (1) our Smart Home Operating System; (2) our AI-driven smart home automation and assistance software; Vivint Assist, (3) our portfolio of proprietary, internally developed smart devices; (4) our curated yet extensible partner-neutral ecosystem; and (5) our people delivering tech-enabled premium services, including consultative selling, professional installation, and support.

Our leading smart home platform currently has over 1.5 million subscribers and manages over 20 million in-home devices, processing over 1.5 billion home activity events each day, as of September 30, 2019. Using our solution, subscribers are able to interact with all aspects of their home with their voice or any mobile device—anytime, anywhere. They can engage with people at their front door; view live and recorded video inside and outside their home; control thermostats, locks, lights, and garage doors; and proactively manage the comings and goings of family, friends, and strangers. Our subscribers engage with our smart home apps approximately seven times per day on average.

The smart home market is an expanding global opportunity and in the very early stages of broad consumer adoption. We believe the smart home market is experiencing rapid evolution, which can be divided into three phases. The first phase is represented by the proliferation of stand-alone smart devices. The second phase takes those devices and connects them to the home. The third and final phase, which we believe is the most pivotal phase in the market’s evolution, takes smart home technology and applies it to create a continually learning, automated, seamlessly integrated smart home experience.

The connected home, the second phase, has a multitude of devices and an operating system to coordinate them all within a single unified system. But integrating numerous different devices from different manufacturers that were not designed to work together is difficult, and often results in an experience that is complex, inconsistent, and unreliable. Moreover, DIY solutions put a large burden on homeowners to accurately and correctly install and support so many devices themselves. And while whole-home automation is possible, it requires users to write individual rules for each and every circumstance. Mass adoption of the connected home by those other than technology enthusiasts has been limited. Our software within the devices, in the cloud, and in our app all work together to help mainstream consumers simply and easily manage their homes.

We believe that we are in a critical transition period from the second phase to the third phase, where the key challenges related to the connected home offerings are overcome by a smart home experience, which we enable through our end-to-end smart home platform.

In this third phase, a smart home continuously learns and adapts to user behavior and preferences and delivers a more automated, personalized experience, powered by artificial intelligence technology. To achieve broad consumer adoption, we believe that smart home solutions must deliver a truly intelligent experience, not just a remote control of the home. Our cloud-enabled software solution understands the state of the home and its occupants, interacts with users to enable awareness and control, and takes coordinated action with minimal user effort. We believe that Vivint Smart Home is best positioned to capitalize on the mass market opportunity of the smart home.

Our technology and people are the foundation of our business model. Our trained professionals educate consumers on the value and affordability of a smart home, customize a solution for their homes and needs, teach them how to use our platform and enhance their experience, and provide ongoing tech-enabled services to manage, monitor, and support their smart home. We have developed proprietary technology that enables our people to provide these consultative sales, installation, and support services to our subscribers more effectively and efficiently, delivering a powerful end-to-end smart home experience.

We have developed and launched over 10 proprietary devices since 2010, all designed to seamlessly integrate into a comprehensive smart home solution. These devices are the critical end points of the smart home experience, and our broad device portfolio enables our subscribers to achieve a comprehensive experience, across the entire home. The software inside these devices, in combination with our cloud-based software and mobile apps, comprises the Smart Home Operating System that knits these elements together to intuitively enable otherwise complex use cases that help address real-world problems. We also allow a select number of third-party stand-alone devices into our ecosystem if doing so enhances the smart home experience for our subscribers. These may be devices that have a large installed base or that have unique capabilities, such as voice assistants. In particular, we will often include competing stand-alone devices in our ecosystem to offer our subscribers choices. Regardless, we ensure that all partner devices are seamlessly integrated into our Smart Home Operating System, and that we are able to manage and support them as well as our own proprietary devices. Our subscribers trust us to professionally install, monitor, and support our devices. As of September 30, 2019, on average each subscriber had over 14 devices strategically placed in their home. Because our Smart Home Pros install the right devices in the right places in the home, we are able to collect superior data and generate unique insights, to improve the smart home experience for our users. We believe we are able to provide a much more complete picture of home activity than any of our competitors.

Our AI-driven smart home automation and assistance software, Vivint Assist, uses the data from our devices and partner devices to enable our subscribers to have a true smart home experience. We believe that we have the broadest, deepest, and purest home activity dataset, which we use to understand the state of the home in real time. This enables us to intelligently manage the residence on the homeowners’ behalf, while still keeping them informed and in full control. Moreover, our software learns from every interaction, enriching our platform and making the smart home experience smarter. We believe that no other company is as well positioned to capitalize on the opportunity to make the true smart home a reality.

The smart home requires an operating system that is always on, reliable, able to process large streams of incoming data, and protected by enterprise-trade security. Our Smart Home Operating System does all of this, while delivering a seamless and intuitive end-user experience. In addition to dedicated in-home touchscreens and our comprehensive integrations with voice-control devices, we provide apps for Android and iOS mobile devices, as well as a web-based application for access from desktop and laptop computers. Leveraging software running in the home, in the cloud, and on users’ mobile devices, our operating system manages real-time communications across the system, executes rule-based actions and notifications, and provides a means for users to interact with their homes anywhere, anytime, and on any device. We deliver new functionality continually, deploying weekly updates to our software. We also push firmware updates to smart home devices throughout the year to deliver new functionality and improve device performance. We believe that continuously improving the smart home experience both increases the lifetime value of our current subscribers and attracts new subscribers.

Our Smart Home as a Service business model generates subscription-based, high-margin recurring revenue from subscribers who sign up for our smart home services. We continue to focus on technology, service, and business model innovation to provide superior customer experience, from the time of first contact to the day-to-day experience.

In 2017, we made a strategic decision to offer Vivint Flex Pay to consumers as a part of our business model innovation, providing benefits to both our subscribers and our company. Vivint Flex Pay provides greater subscriber accessibility by enabling qualified customers to purchase smart home devices with unsecured

financing either through a third party financing partner or through us, in most cases at zero percent annual percentage rate, or APR for qualified customers. The launch of Vivint Flex Pay has enabled us to expand our market opportunity by reducing upfront cash required to acquire new subscribers. Vivint Flex Pay has also improved our unit economics, increased contract length, reduced our balance sheet risk, and improved the capital efficiency of our business. Today, Vivint Flex Pay is an important driver of our subscriber retention strategy. Vivint Flex Pay has also improved our subscriber economics with an Average Subscriber Lifetime of 92 months (approximately 8 years), as of September 30, 2019, based on our expected long-term annualized attrition rate of 13%.

Our go-to-market strategy is based on directly educating consumers about the value and benefits of a smart home experience. We reach consumers through a variety of highly efficient customer acquisition channels, including our direct-to-home, national inside sales, and retail partnerships programs. We continue to scale these efforts through our proprietary operations technology, by launching new and innovative products and services, and by building out our consultative sales channels. Our nationwide sales and service footprint covers 98% of U.S. zip codes. We continue to strengthen our relationships with existing subscribers by offering them the ability to use Vivint Flex Pay to finance upgrades of their existing system and to add new devices and features to their smart homes as our portfolio of offerings expands.

As of September 30, 2019, we have over 1.5 million subscribers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, we generated revenue of $773.9 million and $848.1 million, respectively along with a net loss of $353.0 million and $307.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $3.2 billion of total debt outstanding.

Our Industry

The smart home market is large and growing rapidly. There were over 160 million households in the United States and Canada in 2018. With over 1.5 million subscribers as of September 30, 2019, our smart home penetration is only 1% of our current total estimated addressable market in the United States and Canada alone. Given the rapid pace of technological development in our industry, we believe it is likely that the total addressable market will continue to expand. The ability to address the cost issue, among other things, can potentially increase smart home penetration in the future.

To date, the market has seen some early penetration from stand-alone devices with relatively narrow capabilities. These products have attracted early adopters and technology enthusiasts but have not adequately met the deeper need for a fully integrated smart home experience. These devices generally require do-it-yourself installation, do not integrate well with other devices, and have been designed with a single use case in mind. Generally, each device has its own mobile application, making installation and interoperability difficult for those consumers who do attempt to further their journey and install more devices in their home. As more and more devices have come to market, consumer demand for a central operating system that can better manage and integrate those devices has grown.

The connected home has a multitude of devices and requires an operating system to coordinate them all within a single unified system. But integrating many different devices from different manufacturers that were not designed to work together is difficult, and often results in an experience that is complex, inconsistent, and unreliable. Moreover, DIY solutions put a large burden on homeowners to install and support many devices themselves. And while whole-home automation is possible, it requires users to write individual rules for each and every circumstance. These DIY solutions also often require a high upfront cost, which can be prohibitively expensive for certain customers. For these reasons, mass adoption of the connected home by those other than technology enthusiasts has been limited.

As previously discussed, the next phase of the evolution of the connected home will be the smart home. Just as Apple and iOS enabled entirely new kinds of applications and use cases for the smart phone, we believe that

 

141


Table of Contents

our Smart Home Operating System will be the foundation for the full smart home experience and will enable many new business models that are based on streamlining various experiences in and around the home in innovative ways.

We believe there is a significant opportunity for companies to provide the end-to-end smart home experience. A successful smart home company must be able to provide the following:

 

   

An end-to-end solution with a comprehensive integration of technology and people;

 

   

A cloud-enabled operating system that provides a seamless and intuitive smart home experience;

 

   

A portfolio of compelling use cases orchestrated across multiple devices and leveraging artificial intelligence for adaptive and personalized automation;

 

   

A broad suite of smart devices designed to work as part of a comprehensive smart home;

 

   

An extensible platform complete with deep partner integrations of popular stand-alone devices;

 

   

Local professional services to educate consumers and to install and support devices in every home; and

 

   

A trusted relationship with consumers, who expect their sensitive home data to be kept private.

We believe that our fully integrated, end-to-end product, sales and service approach successfully addresses these key points of friction, and positions us to drive broad consumer market adoption.

Our Smart Home Platform

We believe that our integrated, end-to-end approach successfully addresses the above requirements.

End-to-End Platform Built to Drive Broad Market Adoption

Our purpose-built platform has the components required to deliver on the promise of a true smart home experience. Our technology and people are the foundation of our solution.

Our technology seamlessly integrates in-home devices and cloud-enabled services to deliver an experience that addresses real-world problems. From answering the door remotely to automating the temperature settings in a home environment, our smart home technology meets customers’ needs for convenience and control.

We believe that our purpose-built end-to-end platform best positions Vivint Smart Home to deliver on the promise of broad market smart home adoption.

Cloud-Enabled Smart Home Operating System

Our cloud-enabled Smart Home Operating System delivers a seamless, easy-to-use, and intuitive smart home experience. Leveraging software running in the home, in the cloud, and on customers’ mobile devices, our operating system securely manages real-time communications across the system, executes rules and notifications triggered by defined home-related events, and provides a means for users to interact with their homes from around the globe. In addition to dedicated in-home touchscreens and our comprehensive integrations with voice-control devices, we provide apps for Android and iOS mobile devices, as well as a web-based application for access from desktop and laptop computers.

Providing a seamless experience covering a multitude of separate devices is of critical importance in moving beyond individual devices to a more comprehensive solution that can help address real-world problems.

For instance, when someone comes to the front door, the homeowner may want to let them into the house. This requires a doorbell camera, lighting, locks, the security system, and possibly a garage door controller and interior cameras to all work gracefully together. Our Smart Home Operating System does just this, enabling a multitude of use cases in a simple and intuitive fashion. Moreover, it helps ensure that all of the mundane tasks of device management—security, firmware upgrades, telemetry, diagnostics, and more—are taken care of, so that the system is as reliable as possible.

We began installing comprehensive connected home solutions in 2010, and these quickly became the choice of the majority of our new subscribers and the clear focus of our company. We believe that our experience in this space—understanding consumers and the challenges of making a connected home into something seamless and reliable—sets us apart from our competitors.

Software-Enabled Smart Home Devices

We have developed and launched over 10 proprietary smart home devices since 2010. These devices are the end points of the smart home experience we offer. The software inside these devices, combined with our cloud-based software and mobile apps, enables our Smart Home Operating System to collect and combine end-point data into complex use cases that help consumers to address real-world problems. In particular, our devices are designed to work as part of a comprehensive system, with features and capabilities that only make sense in that context, and which are often not present on devices designed primarily for individual purchase and use.

Using the Smart Hub or the Vivint Smart Home App, our subscribers can connect to and communicate with their in-home devices, either from within the home or on-the-go. The Vivint Element Thermostat makes sure that the home environment is both comfortable and energy efficient, while the Vivint Smart Drive provides users with 24/7 DVR and personalized, local cloud storage. Our range of other devices, including cameras, door and window sensors, motion sensors, tilt sensors, glass break detectors, key fobs, medical pendants, carbon monoxide detectors, flood sensors, and lamp modules, extend the smart home experience to every part of the home, connecting users to their environments in new ways.

Our subscribers trust us to professionally install, monitor, and currently support an average of over 14 devices strategically placed in each home. Because our Smart Home Pros install the right devices in the right places, we are able to collect superior data and generate insights, enabling us to provide a much more complete picture of home activity than any of our competitors and to improve the smart home experience for our users.

Our Curated Partner Ecosystem

We allow a limited number of stand-alone devices into our ecosystem if doing so enhances the smart home experience for our subscribers. These may be devices that have a large installed base or that have unique capabilities, such as voice assistants. Using the Google Home and Amazon Alexa integrations, for example, subscribers can talk to their Smart Home Operating System, asking the system to play their favorite songs, while making sure that their garage doors are closed, and their locks are secured, along with other system functionality. In particular, we will often include competing stand-alone devices in our ecosystem to offer our subscribers choice.

Every device we support in our ecosystem is seamlessly integrated with both our Smart Home Operating System and our tech-enabled services. This curated, partner-neutral ecosystem is designed to provide our subscribers with a worry-free end-to-end experience from sale to installation through a lifetime of use and support.

Because our platform is the hub for an easy-to-use, end-to-end smart home experience, partners have sought us out and have enjoyed continued success through joint selling efforts. Through our ongoing partnership program, both Amazon and Google have been able to sell a large amount of connected smart home devices. We

 

143


Table of Contents

have found that enabling users to add their preferred devices only enhances their connected home experience. Additionally, adding more devices in each home enables our system to gather and learn from even more data points, leading to a better overall experience for users. Our partnerships with Google and Amazon are examples of the neutral approach we take in building our ecosystem. As both companies create competing voice-control platforms for a variety of tasks, we enable our subscribers to use either, or both, as part of their smart home. As the smart home market develops further, we believe that our platform will form the core of the home ecosystem, whereby businesses get new ways to streamline connections with customers in their living environments. In this regard, we will not only own the system powering the smart home, but we will also form strategic partnerships that will deepen the overall smart home experience. We expect these partnerships will help us protect and gain more market share.

AI-Driven Smart Home Automation and Assistance Software

We believe that our AI-driven smart home automation and assistance software, Vivint Assist, is a key differentiator that improves the customer experience and engagement by predicting and reacting to users’ needs, we believe which ultimately accelerates consumer adoption.

Our AI-driven smart home automation and assistance software, Vivint Assist, uses the data from our devices and our partner devices to enable our subscribers to have a true smart home experience. We have a relatively consistent set of devices installed across our subscribers’ homes, and are focused on building high-performing models for Vivint Assist to understand the state of the home and to take or suggest action on the customer’s behalf. This in turn provides us with the opportunity to use feedback from our customers’ response to this interaction to further refine our models.

We believe that we have the broadest, deepest, and purest home activity dataset, which we use to understand the state of the home in real time. That enables us to intelligently manage the residence on the homeowners’ behalf, while still keeping them informed and in full control. Vivint Assist processes home events such as interactions with lights, locks, thermostats, touchscreens, voice-control devices, and door and motion sensors; thermodynamic data such as interior and exterior temperature and heating/cooling duty cycles; location data from mobile devices; and users’ interactions with Vivint Assist itself.

Moreover, our software learns from every interaction, enriching our platform and making the smart home experience smarter. We believe that no other company is as well positioned as Vivint Smart Home to capitalize on the opportunity to make the true smart home a reality.

Local Tech-Enabled Services to Educate, Manage and Support the Smart Home

Our trained professionals educate consumers on the value and affordability of a smart home, customize a solution for their homes and needs, teach them how to use our platform and enhance their experience, and provide ongoing tech-enabled services to manage, monitor, and support their smart home. We have developed proprietary technology that enables our people to provide these consultative sales, installation, and support services to our subscribers more effectively and efficiently, delivering a powerful end-to-end smart home experience. Our teams bring significant domain expertise when it comes to troubleshooting and fixing issues that may arise within a smart home across devices and platforms. Our direct relationship gives us a real-time view into their smart home needs, which provides us with a distinct competitive advantage that enhances our agility and responsiveness to consumer needs. Our end-to-end platform allows us to be our customers’ trusted support system.

We are the company that we are today because of the people that make up our team. We are proud of the culture we have built around innovation and subscriber centricity. Innovation also permeates our subscriber-centric approach.

Table of Contents

When it comes to creating a smart home experience, we believe many individuals want and need the help of professional installation teams to set up the technology and to ensure that it is fully functional, which is why our installation teams are a vital part of Vivint’s service. Whether our tech-enabled Smart Home Pros connect with our customers on the phone or in person, these individuals do their best to inform consumers on how Vivint Smart Home can help customize their living environments to meet their unique smart home needs. In contrast to DIY programs, we provide a premium experience complete with ongoing tech-enabled service and support.

Many companies can make a sale, but few are able to provide a continuous, end-to-end experience over time. Providing the best possible smart home experience is what drives us as a company, and that is why we are focused on continually educating and supporting our subscribers for the long run. Providing a truly comprehensive and customizable smart home experience requires ongoing tech-enabled support, which we provide through our consultative sales, professional installation and customer support teams. These teams exist because we want to ensure that our subscribers are cared for over the duration of their time with Vivint, which is currently approximately 8 years, on average, as of September 30, 2019.

High-Performing Scalable Economic Model

We believe our end-to-end solution, long-term customer relationships, and subscription-based, high-margin recurring revenues drive significant long-term value.

Our business is driven by the acquisition of new subscribers and by managing our existing subscriber base. The acquisition of new subscribers requires significant upfront investment, which in turn generates predictable, high-margin recurring revenue (with approximately 74% net service margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2019) from our cloud-enabled smart home solutions. This high-visibility, high-margin revenue comes from selling our solution and accompanying smart home devices to our subscribers. Therefore, we focus our investment decisions on acquiring new subscribers in the most cost-effective manner while striving to maximize existing subscriber retention and lifetime.

We drive long-term subscriber retention through our high-quality subscriber experience, from the time of first contact to day-to-day use. For example, our subscribers engage with our smart home apps on average seven times per day. To provide even greater subscriber accessibility and affordability to the platform and improve our cash flow economics, we launched Vivint Flex Pay in 2017. Vivint Flex Pay enables qualified subscribers to purchase smart home devices with unsecured financing either through a third-party financing partner or through us, in most cases at zero percent APR. Our Vivint Flex Pay subscribers that utilize a third-party financing provider invest on average approximately $1,500 in our products and related installation, further incentivizing long-term retention.

We have made it a primary focus to retain our existing subscribers. Our retention improves as our subscribers enter into longer term contracts. Although there are costs to acquiring new subscribers, because we operate on a recurring revenue-based model, acquiring subscribers results in cumulative value generation that compounds and accrues over time.

We will continue investing in innovative technologies that we believe will make our platform more valuable and engaging for subscribers, and we intend to continue investing in new subscriber acquisition channels to further improve the economics of our business model. We will also continue working to improve the lifetime value of our customers and the unit economics of our business by continually enhancing the smart home experience.

Our Customers

We had over 1.5 million subscribers in North America as of September 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

Our business is not dependent on any single subscriber or a few subscribers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the respective market or on us as a whole. No individual subscriber accounted for more than 1% of our consolidated 2018 revenue.

Privacy and Security

Our subscribers use our products and services to provide them with peace of mind for the things that matter most to them—their families and homes. This requires our devices to be professionally installed and deployed throughout their homes, and requires our solutions to collect and manage information about our subscribers’ home activity. Much of the information that our technology manages on our subscribers’ behalf, including sensor data, video, and the insights gleaned by our AI-driven smart home automation and assistance software, Vivint Assist, is sensitive and private, and we take our responsibility to protect this information seriously. Most importantly, we use this data and the insights we generate from it to improve the smart home experience. Our subscribers trust us to help them manage their homes, which we consider a unique relationship that we strive to strengthen.

Subscriber Contracts

We seek to ensure that our subscribers understand our smart home experience, along with the key terms of their contracts by conducting two surveys with every subscriber. The first survey is conducted live via telephone prior to the execution of the contract and professional installation, and the second survey is conducted on-line after the installation is completed. The telephonic survey is recorded and stored, along with the on-line survey in our subscriber relationship management and billing system software, or CRM software, enabling easy access and review.

Types of Contracts

When signing up for our services, subscribers currently have three options to pay for their products and associated installation: payment-in-full, or consumer financing either through our consumer financing program (the “CFP”) provided to qualified U.S. subscribers in partnership with our third-party financing providers, or under retail installment contract programs (“RICs”). For those who choose to pay in full at the time of signing, we receive cash (paid by the customer through various means, including check, automated clearing house debit, or credit or debit card) for the full amount of the purchase of products and related installation. We also receive recurring revenue for Services on a month-to-month basis from these subscribers. In 2018, 58% of new subscribers opted to sign up under our CFP. When a subscriber signs up under this program, we receive cash from the third-party financing provider for the subscriber’s purchase of products and the related installation costs. For certain third-party provider loans, we pay a monthly fee based on either the average daily outstanding balance of the loans or the number of outstanding loans, depending on the third-party financing provider. Additionally, we share in liabilities for credit losses depending on the credit quality of the customer. For other third party loans, we receive net proceeds (net of fees and expected losses) for which we have no further obligation to the third-party. We believe that the CFP helps to make the smart home experience more affordable and approachable for qualified customers, and it also helps to preserve the health of our balance sheet. Our last financing option is a RIC, which is available to U.S. subscribers who do not qualify for the CFP based on their credit profile, and all Canadian subscribers. When a customer signs up for a RIC, we record a note receivable from the customer for the purchase of products and related installation, minus risk-adjusted imputed interest, and this revenue is deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. We are planning to add additional financing partners in order to maximize the number of subscribers who are able to obtain financing through third-party partners and to move this risk off our balance sheet.

Term and Termination

Historically, we have generally offered contracts to subscribers that range in length from 36 to 60 months, subject to automatic monthly renewal after the expiration of the initial term. Since the beginning of 2013, a

 

146


Table of Contents

majority of new subscribers have entered into 60-month contracts. As a result, our average initial contract length has increased over time, reaching an average of 50 months as of December 31, 2018. Subscribers have a right of rescission period prescribed by applicable law during which such subscriber may cancel the contract without penalty or obligation. These rescission periods range from 3 to 15 days, depending on the jurisdiction in which a subscriber resides. As a company policy, we provide new subscribers 70 years of age and older a 30-day right of rescission. If the subscriber rescinds during the applicable rescission period under the terms of the contract, the subscriber is required to return the applicable equipment. Once the applicable rescission period expires, the subscriber is responsible for the monthly services fees under the contract.

Other Terms

We provide our subscribers with maintenance free of charge for the first 120 days. After 120 days, we will repair or replace defective smart home devices without charge, but we typically bill the subscriber a charge for each service visit. If a utility or governmental agency requires a change to our platform or tech-enabled service after installation of the system, the subscriber may be charged for the equipment and labor associated with the required change. We also charge certain subscribers a monthly fee related to the cost of maintaining our cellular communication network.

We do not provide insurance or warrant that the system will prevent a burglary, fire, hold-up or any such other event. Our contracts limit our liability to a maximum of $2,000 per event and, where permissible, provide a one-year statute of limitations to file an action against us. We may cease or suspend tech-enabled monitoring and repair service due to, among other things, work stoppages, weather, phone service interruption, government requirements, subscriber bankruptcy or non-payment by subscribers after we have given notice that their service is being canceled due to such non-payment.

Sales and Marketing

We acquire subscribers primarily through our direct-to-home (“DTH”), and national inside sales (“NIS”) channels. We are currently testing out several retail partnerships to determine the optimal format for this channel. Regardless of channel, our tech-enabled sales professionals always take a consultative approach to the sales process, educate potential subscribers on the benefits of smart home technology, and tailor a solution that serves each subscriber’s needs. This consultative sales process has enabled us to achieve a high adoption rate of our smart home solutions. We are continually evaluating ways to improve subscriber acquisition efficiency across all of our sales channels. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we acquired over 300,000 new subscribers; of these new subscribers, 55% joined through our DTH, and 41% were brought on through NIS.

Marketing Strategy

We leverage the Vivint brand across all our channels. We invest in certain marketing strategies which amplify the brand and awareness of our solutions, including through general paid media outlets. Vivint Smart Home also has exclusive brand naming rights for the Vivint Smart Home Arena, home of the NBA’s Utah Jazz.

Direct-to-Home Sales

Our direct-to-home tech-enabled sales team is comprised of up to 4,500 representatives at our peak selling season working across select markets throughout North America. DTH representatives visit consumers in their homes, providing interested individuals with an in-depth description of our offerings. They benefit from our recruiting and training programs designed to promote sales productivity. Markets are selected each year based on a number of factors, including demographics, population density and our past experience selling in these markets. Because expenses associated with our direct-to-home sales channels are directly correlated with new subscriber acquisition, the majority of the costs associated with this channel are variable and can scale with customer acquisition. We also have a program whereby a number of direct-to-home sales representatives reside in certain select markets and sell in those markets on a year round basis. We expect the number of new subscriber contracts generated through this program to continue to increase over time.

National Inside Sales

Our national inside sales channel provides a consultative experience for consumers who contact us. Driven by increasing brand awareness and marketing effectiveness, the number of new subscribers acquired through this channel in 2018 increased 15% compared to 2017.

The national inside sales team utilizes leads generated through multiple sources, both digital and traditional, including paid, organic and local search and display advertising. We believe that we will continue to experience strong growth in this channel, as our brand awareness improves and customers’ understanding of the smart home increases. Customers originated through our national inside sales channel has grown as a percentage of our total originations from approximately 10% in 2009 to approximately 41% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Retail

We are currently running several retail partnerships pilot programs, with the goal of adding an additional subscriber acquisition channel that will allow us to offer a consultative sales experience while preserving our unit economics. Our retail partnership pilots are built on a variable-cost model. Through these pilots, we hope to reach additional consumers that have not yet considered purchasing a smart home, those that have already purchased a device that has not met their expectations, and those that want to experience and buy smart home solutions in a traditional retail setting. Given the success of our existing DTH and NIS efforts, our retail pilots are built to provide interested subscribers with a strong understanding of the technology and service components of our smart home experience, in a retail setting, on a scalable, variable-cost basis.

Our end-to-end solution includes a dedication to providing a smart home experience, complete with tech-enabled service and support. We have structured our organization and our operations in a way that allows us to maximize efficiency and prioritize the subscriber experience, which is why we have built a successful brand and generated high subscriber satisfaction ratings over time.

In-Home Service

We deploy full-time in-home tech-enabled service professionals (“Smart Home Pros”) throughout North America to provide prompt tech-enabled service to our subscribers, on an as-needed basis. Our in-home service professionals are highly trained to address maintenance and service issues. Using our proprietary, in-house sales and service technologies—TechGenie—they are able to schedule service and installation appointments in real-time, thus maximizing subscriber satisfaction and minimizing friction in the subscriber relationship. This dimension of our offering personalized in-home support is key to our end-to-end solution, and we believe that providing personalized smart home service will be an integral part of meeting the needs of the broader consumer market.

Customer Service and Monitoring

Our tech-enabled customer service centers operate around the clock, year round, without exception. All employees who work in customer service undergo training on billing and service-related questions. Customer service representatives are required to pass background checks and, depending upon their job function, may require licensing.

Our two central monitoring facilities are located in Utah and Minnesota and are fully able to be primary backups for each other and operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year-round—including on holidays. All professionals who work in our monitoring facilities undergo comprehensive training and are required to pass background checks and, in certain cases, licensing tests or other checks to obtain the required licensing.

Billing and Collections

Our billing and collections representatives are located in our Utah offices. We cross-train these representatives to also handle general customer service inquiries with the goal of improving the customer

Table of Contents

experience and to increase personnel flexibility. Billing and collections representatives are also required to pass background checks and, depending upon their job function, may also require licensing by the state of Utah. A majority of our subscribers pay electronically either via ACH, credit or debit card. A subscriber who pays electronically is generally placed on a billing cycle based on their contract origination date and, in certain instances, the subscriber may choose their billing date. Our subscribers billed via direct invoice can be billed on any day of the month, with payment due 15 days subsequent to the invoice date. Subscribers are billed in advance for their monthly services based on their billing cycle and not calendar month. In those jurisdictions where we are entitled to do so by law, we charge late fees to subscribers whose accounts are more than 10 days past due.

Key Systems

We utilize an integrated subscriber relationship management and billing system software, based on a well-established enterprise-scale cloud solution (“CRM software”). This CRM software allows us to scale our business, providing the flexibility to accommodate the multiple customer support and billing models resulting from the continued expansion in our product and service offerings over time. The CRM software enables one-call resolution and allows for operational efficiency by not requiring the entry of data multiple times, thus improving data accuracy. Additionally, the data is replicated to both a reporting and a business intelligence server to reduce processing time, as well as to an offsite server used for disaster recovery purposes.

In 2017, we implemented an enterprise resource planning software (“ERP”) primarily to manage financial accounting, inventory and supply chain functions of our business. Similar to the CRM software, the ERP allows us to scale our operations to accommodate the continued expansion of our business models and product and service offerings. The ERP also provides improved security and automated system controls.

Suppliers

We provide our services through a panel installed in our subscribers’ homes. Since early 2014, nearly all new subscribers are using the Vivint Smart Home SkyControl panel. From 2010 through 2014, 2GIG Go!Control was our primary panel. As of September 30, 2019, approximately 87% of our subscriber base use SkyControl panels and 17% use 2GIG Go!Control panels. In 2013, we completed the sale of 2GIG Technologies, Inc., or 2GIG. In connection with the 2GIG sale, 2GIG assigned to us their intellectual property rights in the SkyControl Panel and certain peripheral equipment. This proprietary equipment is a critical component of our current smart home and security offerings, and we expect it to remain a critical component of our future offerings as well. In addition, at the time of the 2GIG sale we entered into a five-year supply agreement with 2GIG, pursuant to which they would be the exclusive provider of our control panel requirements and certain peripheral equipment, subject to certain exceptions, during the term. This agreement was completed in April 2018.

We license certain communications infrastructure, software and services from Alarm.com to support subscribers with the Go!Control panel. These Go!Control panels are connected to Alarm.com’s hosted platform. Alarm.com also provides an interface to enable these subscribers to access their systems remotely. We also license certain intellectual property from Alarm.com for our subscribers using the SkyControl panel.

Generally, our hardware device suppliers maintain a stock of devices and key components to cover any minor supply chain disruptions. Where possible we also utilize dual sourcing methods to minimize the risk of a disruption from a single supplier. However, we also rely on a number of sole source and limited source suppliers for critical components of our solution. In particular, we rely on Alpha Networks Inc. for our indoor cameras. Replacing any of these sole source or limited source suppliers could require the expenditure of significant resources and time to redesign and resource these products.

Research and Development

Our innovation center headquartered in Lehi, Utah, along with research and development offices in Santa Clara, California, and Boston, Massachusetts, focuses on the research and development of new products and

 

149


Table of Contents

services, both within and beyond our existing offerings. Our professionals are trained in our proprietary innovation management process, from subscriber needs assessment to Product and Service launch. Our innovation center includes people with expertise in all aspects of the development process, including hardware development, software development, design, and quality assurance.

By focusing on innovation, and continually enhancing our Product and Service offerings, we believe we can increase new subscriber originations, subscriber usage and subscriber satisfaction, thereby potentially increasing revenue per subscriber and lowering subscriber attrition.

We expect to continue introducing new, innovative devices and software features. We design these new products and, where appropriate, leverage partnerships for their manufacture.

By vertically integrating the development and design of our products and services with our existing sales and customer service activities, we believe we are able to more quickly respond to market needs, and better understand our subscribers’ interactions and engagement with our products and services. This provides critical data enabling us to improve the power, usability and intelligence of these products and services.

Intellectual Property

Patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other proprietary rights are important to our business, and we continuously refine our intellectual property strategy to maintain and improve our competitive position. We seek to protect new intellectual property to safeguard our ongoing technological innovations and strengthen our brand, and we believe we take appropriate action against infringements or misappropriations of our intellectual property rights by others. We review third-party intellectual property rights to help avoid infringement, and to identify strategic opportunities. We typically enter into confidentiality agreements to further protect our intellectual property.

We own a portfolio of over 150 issued U.S. patents and over 400 pending U.S. and foreign patent applications that relate to a variety of smart home, security and wireless Internet technologies utilized in our business. We also own a portfolio of trademarks, including domestic and foreign registrations for Vivint, and are a licensee of various patents, from our third-party suppliers and technology partners.

Because of the importance that subscribers place on reputation and trust when making a decision on a smart home provider, our brand is critical to our business. Patents related to individual products or technologies extend for varying periods dependent on the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term for patents in the various countries where we have sought patent protection. Trademark rights may potentially extend for longer periods of time and are dependent upon national laws and use of the marks.

Competition

The smart home industry is highly competitive and fragmented. Our major competitors range from large-cap technology companies, which predominantly offer DIY devices to expand their core market opportunity, to companies that are focused on singular smart home experiences (i.e. security focused), to industrial and telecommunications companies that are offering connected home experiences. Historically, the vast majority of companies have not offered comprehensive smart home solutions that meet the growing requirements of households. In many cases, companies have launched DIY or standalone devices to enhance their existing offerings, leading to partial or incomplete smart home experiences. Certain features of our platform compete with companies that fall into the following categories:

 

   

Large Technology companies: Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft

 

   

Security based offerings: ADT, Alarm.com, Brinks Home Security, SimpliSafe, Stanley Security Solutions, and Tyco Integrated Security

 

150


Table of Contents
   

Industrial and Smart Hardware Companies: Arlo, Honeywell, Control4, and Resideo

 

   

Telecommunications Companies: Comcast Corporation, Cox Communications, Rogers Communications, and Time Warner Cable

We believe we compete effectively with each of our competitors listed above. However, we expect competition to intensify in the future. We face increasing competition from competitors that are building their own smart home platforms, such as Amazon, Apple and Google, as well as from companies that offer single-point connected devices. Having installed over 2 million smart home and security systems, we believe we are well positioned to compete with them because we benefit from more than 19 years of experience, our efficient direct-to-home sales channel, innovative products and our award-winning customer service.

In addition, several of our competitors have greater name recognition, much longer operating histories, more and better-established subscriber relationships, larger sales forces, larger marketing and software development budgets, and significantly greater resources than we do. Therefore, it is possible that we may not compete favorably with respect to certain of the foregoing factors.

We also compete with numerous smaller regional and local providers. We also face, or may in the future face, competition from other providers of information and communication products and services, a number of which have significantly greater capital and other resources than we do.

Companies in our industry compete primarily on the basis of price in relation to the quality of the devices and tech-enabled services they provide. The company’s brand and reputation, market visibility, service and product capabilities, quality, price, efficient direct-to-home sales channel, and the ability to identify and sell to prospective subscribers, are all factors that contribute to competitive success in the smart home industry. We emphasize the quality of the service we provide, rather than focusing primarily on price competition. We believe we compete effectively against other national, regional and local companies offering smart home and security alarm monitoring services by offering our subscribers an integrated smart home, along with an attractive value proposition, and our proven, award-winning customer service.

Government Regulations

United States

We are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and licensing requirements of federal, state and local authorities.

We are also required to obtain various licenses and permits from state and local authorities in connection with the operation of our businesses. The majority of states regulate in some manner the sale, installation, servicing, monitoring or maintenance of smart home and electronic security systems. In the states that do regulate such activity, our company and our employees are typically required to obtain and maintain licenses, certifications or similar permits from the state as a condition to engaging in the smart home and security services business.

In addition, a number of local governmental authorities have adopted ordinances regulating the activities of security service companies, typically in an effort to reduce the number of false alarms in their jurisdictions. These ordinances attempt to reduce false alarms by, among other things, requiring permits for individual electronic security systems, imposing fines (on either the subscriber or the company) for false alarms, discontinuing police response to notification of an alarm activation after a subscriber has had a certain number of false alarms, and requiring various types of verification prior to dispatching authorities.

Our sales and marketing practices are regulated by the federal, state and local agencies. These laws and regulations typically place restrictions on the manner in which products and services can be advertised and sold,

 

151


Table of Contents

and to provide residential purchasers with certain rescission rights. In certain circumstances, consumer protection laws also require the disclosure of certain information in the contract with our subscriber and, in addition, may prohibit the inclusion of certain terms or conditions of sale in such contracts. Many local governments regulate direct-to-home sales activities and contract terms, and require that salespeople and the company on whose behalf the salesperson is selling obtain licenses to carry on business in that municipality.

In addition, the CFP and RICs are subject to federal and state laws. These laws primarily require that consumer financing contracts include or be accompanied by certain prescribed disclosures, but these laws also may place limitations on particular fees and charges, and require licensing or registration of the party extending consumer credit. Citizens and any other financing partners providing third-party consumer financing under Vivint Flex Pay are responsible for compliance with such laws applicable to Vivint Flex Pay, and we are responsible for compliance with such federal and state laws regulating RICs.

Canada

Companies operating in the smart home and electronic security service industry in Canada are subject to provincial regulation of their business activities, including the regulation of direct-to-home sales activities and contract terms and the sale, installation and maintenance of smart home and electronic security systems. Most provinces in Canada regulate direct-to-home sales activities and contract terms, and require that salespeople and the company on whose behalf the salesperson is selling obtain licenses to carry on business in that province. Consumer protection laws in Canada also require that certain terms and conditions be included in the contract between the service provider and the subscriber.

A number of Canadian municipalities require subscribers to obtain licenses to use electronic security alarms within their jurisdiction. Municipalities also commonly require entities engaged in direct-to-home sales within their municipality to obtain business licenses.

Seasonality

Our DTH sales are seasonal in nature with a substantial majority of our new customer originations occurring during a sales season from April through August. We make investments in the recruitment of our DTH sales force and the inventory prior to each sales season. We experience increases in net subscriber acquisition costs during these time periods.

The management of our sales channels has historically resulted in a consistent sales pattern that enables us to more accurately forecast customer originations.

Employees

As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately 6,050 full-time employees, excluding our seasonal direct-to-home installation technicians, sales representatives and certain other support professionals. As of September 30, 2019, a very small minority of our employees were represented by a labor union. We believe that we generally have good relationships with our employees. The majority of our employees are located in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. Employees located outside of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area are comprised primarily of our full-time Smart Home Pros, who service our customers and are located in all states in the United States except Maine and Vermont and all Canadian provinces except Quebec, and the monitoring professionals located at our monitoring station in Minnesota.

Properties

Our headquarters, and one of our two monitoring facilities, are located in Provo, Utah. These premises are leased under leases expiring between December 2024 and June 2028. Additionally, we lease the premises for a

 

152


Table of Contents

separate monitoring station located in Eagan, Minnesota. We also have facility leases in Lehi, Utah; Logan, Utah; Santa Clara, California; Boston, Massachusetts; and various other locations throughout the United States and Canada for research and development, call center, warehousing, recruiting, and training purposes. We believe that these facilities are adequate for our current needs and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate any expansion of our operations.

Legal Proceedings

We are engaged in the defense of certain claims and lawsuits arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of our business and have certain unresolved claims pending, the outcomes of which are not determinable at this time. Our subscriber contracts include exculpatory provisions as described under “—Subscriber Contracts—Other Terms” and other liability limitations. We also have insurance policies covering certain potential losses where such coverage is available and cost effective. In our opinion, any liability that might be incurred by us upon the resolution of any claims or lawsuits will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. See Note 13 of our accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for additional information.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain individuals with the qualifications to manage and lead the Company as well as to motivate them to develop professionally and contribute to the achievement of our financial goals and ultimately create and grow our overall enterprise value.

Our named executive officers (“NEOs”), for 2018 were:

 

   

Todd R. Pedersen, our Chief Executive Officer;

 

   

Mark J. Davies, our former Chief Financial Officer;

 

   

Alex J. Dunn, our President;

 

   

Matthew J. Eyring, our Executive Vice President, General Manager of Inside Sales; and

 

   

Todd M. Santiago, our Executive Vice President, General Manager of Retail.

Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

Our primary executive compensation objectives are to:

 

   

attract, retain and motivate senior management leaders who are capable of advancing our mission and strategy and ultimately, creating and maintaining our long-term equity value. Such leaders must engage

 

157


Table of Contents
 

in a collaborative approach and possess the ability to execute our business strategy in an industry characterized by competitiveness and growth;

 

   

reward senior management in a manner aligned with our financial performance; and

 

   

align senior management’s interests with our equity owners’ long-term interests through equity participation and ownership.

To achieve our objectives, we deliver executive compensation through a combination of the following components:

 

   

Base salary;

 

   

Cash bonus opportunities;

 

   

Long-term incentive compensation;

 

   

Broad-based employee benefits;

 

   

Supplemental executive perquisites; and

 

   

Severance benefits.

Base salaries, broad-based employee benefits, supplemental executive perquisites and severance benefits are designed to attract and retain senior management talent. We also use annual cash bonuses and long-term equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of our named executive officers with the long-term interests of our equity-owners and to enhance executive retention.

Compensation Determination Process

The compensation committee of the board of directors of our direct subsidiary, APX Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Committee”) assists the board of directors of APX Group Holdings, Inc. (the “APX board of directors”) in overseeing our executive compensation program.

Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn generally participate in discussions and deliberations with the Committee and the APX board of directors regarding the determinations of annual cash incentive awards for our executive officers. Specifically, they make recommendations to the Committee and/or the APX board of directors regarding the performance factors to be used under our annual bonus plan and the amounts of annual cash incentive awards. Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn do not participate in discussions or determinations regarding their individual compensation.

Role of Compensation Consultant

We did not engage any compensation consultant to assist in making recommendations with respect to our 2018 compensation program. However, in December 2018 we engaged FW Cook & Co., Inc. to advise the Committee in 2019 with respect to the compensation of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn and make recommendations to the Committee on the selection of companies for inclusion in a compensation peer group for 2019.

Use of Competitive Data

We do not target a specific market percentile when making executive compensation decisions; however, we believe that information regarding compensation practices at similar companies is a useful tool to help maintain practices that accomplish our executive compensation objectives. While we have done so in the past, we did not review or consider any peer group or survey data in connection with compensation decisions in 2018.

Employment Agreements

On August 7, 2014, Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn entered into employment agreements with us. These employment agreements contained the same material terms as, and superseded, those they had entered into previously with our parent, 313 Acquisition. On March 4, 2019, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn. See “—Compensation Actions Taken in 2019” below for a description of these amended and restated employment agreements. On March 8, 2016, Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago entered into employment agreements with us. A full description of the material terms of each of these employment agreements as in effect during 2018 is discussed below under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and 2018 Grants of Plan-Based Awards”.

Compensation Elements

The following is a discussion and analysis of each component of our executive compensation program:

Base Salary

Annual base salaries compensate our executive officers for fulfilling the requirements of their respective positions and provide them with a predictable and stable level of cash income relative to their total compensation.

The Committee believes that the level of an executive officer’s base salary should reflect such executive’s performance, experience and breadth of responsibilities, salaries for similar positions within our industry and any other factors relevant to that particular job. The Committee, with the assistance of our Human Resources Department, also used the experience, market knowledge and insight of its members in evaluating the competitiveness of current salary levels.

In the sole discretion of the Committee, base salaries for our executive officers may be periodically adjusted to take into account changes in job responsibilities or competitive pressures.

In consideration of the above, the APX board of directors determined to increase each named executive officer’s base salary by 3%, effective as of April 1, 2018, as shown below

The “Summary Compensation Table” and corresponding footnotes to the table show the base salary earned by each named executive officer during fiscal 2018 as well as the base salary adjustments for each of our named executive officers made during fiscal 2018.

Bonuses

Cash bonus opportunities are available to various managers, directors and executives, including our named executive officers, to motivate their achievement of short-term performance goals and tie a portion of their cash compensation to performance.

Fiscal 2018 Management Bonus—Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn

In fiscal 2018, Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn participated in a formalized annual cash incentive compensation plan pursuant to which they are eligible to receive an annual cash incentive award based on the achievement of

 

159


Table of Contents

company-wide performance objectives. As provided in their respective employment agreements, the target bonus amounts for each of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn are 100% of their respective base salaries.

The actual bonus amounts paid to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn for fiscal 2018 performance were calculated by multiplying each named executive officer’s bonus potential target (which is equal to 100% of his base salary at the end of the performance period) by an achievement factor based on our actual achievement relative to company-wide performance objectives.

The achievement factor was determined by calculating our actual achievement against the company-wide performance targets based on the pre-established scale set forth in the following table:

 

% Attainment of Performance Target

   Achievement
Factor
 

Less than 90%

     0  

90%

     50

100%

     100

110%

     200

130% or greater

     250

Based on the pre-established scale set forth above, no cash incentive award would be paid to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn unless our actual performance for 2018 was at or above 90% of the performance target(s). If our actual performance was 100% of target, then Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn would be entitled to their respective bonus potential target amounts. If performance was 110% of target, then they would be eligible for a cash incentive award equal to 200% of their respective bonus potential target amounts. If performance was 130% or more of target, then they would be eligible for a maximum cash incentive equal to 250% of their respective bonus potential target amounts. For performance percentages between these levels, the resulting achievement factor would be adjusted on a linear basis. The performance target for 2018 for Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn was Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (as that term is defined elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Covenant Compliance”) of $532.6 million for the Company.

For fiscal 2018, the Company’s actual Covenant Adjusted EBITDA achieved was $537.7 million, or 101.0% of target, which results in an achievement factor of 110% of their respective base salaries under the annual cash incentive plan. The Committee, in its discretion and in consideration of the achievement of other objectives in 2018, including but not limited to a record number of new subscriber originations and the reorganization of the Company to position it for future growth by expanding the existing sales channels and developing new sales channels, determined to further adjust the Covenant Adjusted EBITDA metric to remove the effect of certain compensation items that the Committee determined were not indicative of the Company’s performance in fiscal 2018 and to make certain other adjustments. This resulted in the payment to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn of award amounts equal to 125% of their base salaries.

The following table illustrates the calculation of the annual cash incentive awards earned by each of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn in light of these performance results, including the exercise by the Committee of its positive discretion. The portion of the actual amount earned by Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn due to the Committee’s exercise of its positive discretion is disclosed in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table under the “2018” designation, while the remaining amounts earned by Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn are disclosed in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column.

Fiscal 2018 Management Bonus—Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago

For fiscal 2018, Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago were eligible to receive a discretionary bonus based on a percentage of such executive’s base salary, which bonuses were paid in March 2019. Each of Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago were eligible to receive a target bonus opportunity of 60% of their respective base salaries. Based on Mr. Davies’ contribution to financial management and operational improvement, Mr. Eyring’s contribution to our product innovation and strategy, and Mr. Santiago’s contribution to the success of our 2018 selling efforts, the Committee determined to pay bonuses for fiscal 2018 to these named executive officers at 125% of target, as shown in the table below.

Sign-On Bonuses

From time to time, we may award sign-on bonuses in connection with the commencement of an NEO’s employment with us. Sign-on bonuses are used only when necessary to attract highly skilled individuals to the Company. Generally, sign-on bonuses are used to incentivize candidates to leave their current employers or may be used to offset the loss of unvested compensation they may forfeit as a result of leaving their current employers.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Equity Awards

313 Acquisition, an entity controlled by investment funds or vehicles affiliated with Blackstone, grants long-term equity incentive awards designed to promote our interest by providing these executives with the opportunity to acquire equity interests as an incentive for their remaining in our service and aligning the executives’ interests with those of the Company’s ultimate equity holders. The long-term equity incentive awards are in the form of Class B Units in 313 Acquisition.

The Class B Units are profits interests having economic characteristics similar to stock appreciation rights and represent the right to share in any increase in the equity value of 313 Acquisition. Therefore, the Class B Units only have value to the extent there is an appreciation in the value of our business from and after the applicable date of grant. In addition, the vesting of two-thirds of the Class B Units were initially subject to Blackstone achieving minimum internal rates of return on its investment in Class A Units, as described further below.

The Class B Units granted to our named executive officers are designed to motivate them to focus on efforts that will increase the value of our equity while enhancing their retention. The specific sizes of the equity grants made are determined in light of Blackstone’s practices with respect to management equity programs at other private companies in its portfolio and the executive officer’s position and level of responsibility with us.

 

161


Table of Contents

The Class B Units were initially divided into a time-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), and a 3.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted). In June 2018, the APX board of directors and the board of managers of 313 Acquisition approved a modification to the vesting terms of the Class B Units, designed to motivate and retain our employees and align their interests with the interests of the Company. Following such modification, the Class B Units were divided into two time-vesting portions (each one-third of the Class B Units granted) and a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted). Unvested Class B units are not entitled to distributions from the Company. The incremental fair value in connection with this modification is reflected in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table. For additional information regarding our Class B Units, see “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards-Equity Awards”.

The initial award of Class B Units granted to Mr. Davies in connection with the commencement of his employment in 2013 contain the following different economic terms: Mr. Davies’s Class B Units will not entitle him to receive any distributions in respect of such units unless and until the cumulative value of such foregone distributions attributable to each Class B Unit equals the fair market value of a Class B Unit on the date of the grant of such Class B Unit (such foregone amount, the “Delayed Amount Per Class B Unit”). At that point, Mr. Davies (together with the other holders of Class B Units subject to similar foregone distributions) will become entitled to receive pro rata distributions of all subsequent amounts (to the exclusion of other holders who do not have similar rights) until he has received distributions per Class B Unit equal to the Delayed Amount Per Class B Unit. Thereafter, Mr. Davies will become entitled to receive the same amounts with respect to his Class B Units as other holders of Class B Units receive with respect to their Class B Units.

Another key component of our long-term equity incentive program, is that at the time of the Blackstone’s acquisition of Vivint Smart Home (the “2012 Blackstone Acquisition”), certain of our NEOs and other eligible employees were provided with the opportunity to invest in Class A Units of 313 Acquisition on the same general terms as Blackstone and other co-investors. The Class A Units are equity interests, have economic characteristics that are similar to those of shares of common stock in a corporation and have no vesting schedule. We consider this investment opportunity an important part of our long-term equity incentive program because it encourages equity ownership and aligns the NEOs’ financial interests with those of our ultimate equity holders. Each of Messrs. Pedersen, Dunn and Santiago, when presented with the opportunity, chose to invest in Class A Units of 313 Acquisition.

2018 Retention Awards

In 2018, we approved a retention program designed to motivate and retain our employees. Pursuant to this program, in July 2018, the Committee approved the grant of retention awards to Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago.

Each of Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago was granted a retention award in the amount of $2.5 million, payable as follows: (i) $833,333.33 payable in August 2018; (ii) $833,333.33 payable in August 2019; and (iii) $833,333.34 payable in August 2020, subject to continued employment and good standing with the Company or its subsidiaries through each payment date.

If Messrs. Davies’, Eyring’s or Santiago’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in his employment agreement), including due to death or disability, prior to any remaining payment date, he will receive the full remaining amount of the retention award, payable within two and one half months following his termination date subject to his (or his estate’s, as applicable), execution of an effective release of claims in favor of the Company. He will not be entitled to receive any remaining amount of his retention award if (i) he terminates his employment with the Company for any reason, or (ii) his employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, in either case at any time prior to the applicable eligibility date set forth above.

Benefits and Perquisites

We provide to all of our employees, including our named executive officers, employee benefits that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. Broad-based employee benefits include:

 

   

a 401(k) savings plan;

 

   

paid vacation, sick leave and holidays;

 

   

medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage; and

 

   

employee assistance program benefits.

Beginning in January 2018, all participants became eligible for matching under our 401(k) savings plan. Under this new matching program, we match an employee’s contributions to the 401(k) savings plan dollar-for-dollar up to 1% of such employee’s eligible earnings and $0.50 for every $1.00 for the next 5% of such employee’s eligible earnings. The maximum match available under the 401(k) plan is 3.5% of the employee’s eligible earnings. For employees who have been employed by us for less than two years, matching contributions vest on the second anniversary of their date of hire. Our matching contributions to our employees who have been employed by us for two years or more are always fully vested.

At no cost to the employee, we provide an amount of basic life insurance valued at $50,000.

We also provide our named executive officers with specified perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees, such as personal use of our Company leased aircraft (subject to the terms and limits set forth in our corporate aircraft policy), use of a company vehicle, financial advisory services, reimbursement for health insurance premiums, enhanced employee cafeteria benefits, country club memberships, excess liability insurance premiums, alarm system fees, event tickets, fuel expenses, relocation assistance and, in certain circumstances, reimbursement for personal travel. In addition, as to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, perquisites have included personal use of Company personnel, however Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn reimburse the Company for the full costs of such personal use. Each of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn has also been provided with an annual fringe benefit allowance of $300,000 under the terms of their employment agreements. We also reimburse our named executive officers for taxes incurred in connection with certain of these perquisites.

With respect to event tickets, we believe there is no incremental cost to us associated with the personal use by our named executive officers and their guests of (i) tickets to various sporting and entertainment events that we have acquired at no additional cost in connection with our corporate sponsorships of various organizations (ii) our corporate suite at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is leased for business-related entertainment and paid for seasonally rather than individually by event or (iii) other tickets to various sporting and entertainment events that are paid for seasonally rather than individually by event. Accordingly, no amounts other than reimbursement for taxes incurred related to these items are included in the compensation of our named executive officers in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.

In addition, we have entered into time-sharing agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, governing their personal use of the Company leased aircraft. Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn pay for personal flights an amount equal to the aggregate variable cost to the Company for such flights, up to the maximum authorized by Federal Aviation Regulations. The aggregate variable cost for this purpose includes fuel costs, out-of-town hangar costs, landing fees, airport taxes and fees, customs fees, travel expenses of the crew, any “deadhead” segments of flights to reposition corporate aircraft and other related rental fees. In addition, family members of our named executive officers have, in limited circumstances, accompanied the named executive officers on business travel on the Company leased aircraft for which we incurred de minimis incremental costs.

We provide these perquisites and personal benefits in order to further our goal of attracting and retaining our executive officers. The aggregate incremental cost to the Company of these benefits and perquisites are reflected

in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” and the accompanying footnote in accordance with the SEC rules.

Severance Arrangements

APX’s board of directors believes that providing severance benefits to our named executive officers is critical to our long-term success, because severance benefits act as a retention device that helps secure an executive’s continued employment and dedication to the Company. Each of our named executive officers have severance arrangements, which are included in their employment agreements. Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn are eligible to receive severance benefits if their employment is terminated for any reason other than voluntary resignation or willful misconduct. The severance payments to our named executive officers are contingent upon the affected executive’s execution of a release and waiver of claims, which contains non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions. See “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for descriptions of these arrangements.

Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago are eligible to receive severance benefits if their employment is terminated by us without “cause” (as defined below under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards—Employment Agreements”) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled. See “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for descriptions of these arrangements”.

Compensation Actions Taken in 2019

Employment Agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn

On March 4, 2019, we amended and restated the employment agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn. The amended and restated employment agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn contain substantially similar terms. The principal terms of each of the amended and restated employment agreements are summarized below.

Each amended and restated employment agreement provides for a term ending on March 4, 2022 and extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless either party elects not to extend the term. Under the amended and restated employment agreements, each executive is eligible to receive a minimum base salary, specified below, and an annual bonus based on the achievement of specified financial goals as determined by us. If these goals are achieved, the executive may receive an annual incentive cash bonus as provided below.

Mr. Pedersen’s amended and restated employment agreement provides that he is to serve as CEO and is eligible to receive a base salary originally set at $1,021,200, subject to periodic review and increase, but not decrease. Mr. Pedersen is also eligible to receive a target bonus equal to the sum of (x) 100% of his annual base salary at the end of the fiscal year minus (y) $300,000, if targets established by us are achieved.

Mr. Dunn’s amended and restated employment agreement provides that he is to serve as President and is eligible to receive a base salary originally set at $1,021,200, subject to periodic review and increase, but not decrease. Mr. Dunn is also eligible to receive a target bonus equal to the sum of (x) 100% of his annual base salary at the end of the fiscal year minus (y) $300,000, if targets established by us are achieved.

In addition, each amended and restated employment agreement provides Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn with annual reimbursements of up to $125,000 in respect of expenses incurred by the executive related to the engagement of a financial advisor by the executive to provide the executive with customary financial advice. Any such reimbursements to the executive will be considered taxable income to the executive and the executive will be entitled to tax “gross up” payments in respect thereof.

Each executive officer is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other executive officers generally.

Table of Contents

Each of the amended and restated employment agreements also contains restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-competition and non-solicitation of our employees and customers and affiliates at all times during employment, and for two years after any termination of employment. These covenants are substantially the same as the covenants Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn agreed to in connection with their receipt of Class B Units summarized below under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards—Equity Awards—Restrictive Covenants”.

Pursuant to their respective amended and restated employment agreements, if Mr. Pedersen’s or Mr. Dunn’s employment terminates for any reason, the executive is entitled to receive: (1) any base salary accrued through the date of termination; (2) any annual bonus earned, but unpaid, as of the date of termination; (3) reimbursement of any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the executive; and (4) such employee benefits, if any, as to which the executive may be entitled under our employee benefit plans (the payments and benefits described in (1) through (4), “accrued rights”).

If the employment of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn is terminated by us without “cause” (as defined below) (other than by reason of death or while he is disabled) or if either executive resigns with “good reason” (as defined below) (any such termination, a “qualifying termination”), such executive is entitled to the accrued rights and, conditioned upon execution and non-revocation of a release and waiver of claims in favor of us and our affiliates, and continued compliance with the non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and confidentiality provisions set forth in the employment agreements and described below under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards”:

 

   

a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus based upon the portion of the fiscal year during which the executive was employed (the “pro rata bonus”);

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to 200% of the executive’s then-current base salary plus 200% of the actual bonus the executive received in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year; and

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to the monthly cost of the health and welfare benefits for the executive and his dependents, at the levels at which the executive received benefits on the date of termination, times twenty four (the “COBRA payment”).

For purposes of the amended and restated employment agreements of each of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, the term “cause” means the executive’s continued failure to substantially perform his employment duties for a period of ten (10) days; any dishonesty in the performance of the executive’s employment duties that is materially injurious to us; act(s) on the executive’s part constituting either a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; the executive’s willful malfeasance or misconduct in connection with his employment duties that causes substantial injury to us; or the executive’s material breach of any covenants set forth in the amended and restated employment agreements, including the restrictive covenants set forth therein. A termination for “good reason” is deemed to occur upon specified events, including: a material reduction in the executive’s base salary; a material reduction in the executive’s authority or responsibilities; specified relocation events; or our breach of any of the provisions of the amended and restated employment agreements. Each of the foregoing events is subject to specified notice and cure periods.

In the event of the executive’s termination of employment due to death or disability, he will only be entitled to the accrued rights, the pro rata bonus payment, and the COBRA payment.

Incentive Compensation Plan

On March 4, 2019, APX’s board of directors adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Cash Bonus Plan”). Our Cash Bonus Plan allows the Committee to provide annual cash incentive awards to selected employees, including our NEOs, based upon performance goals established by the Committee. Pursuant to the Cash Bonus Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, will establish a target award for each participant and a bonus pool, with actual awards payable from such bonus pool, with respect to the applicable performance period.

 

165


Table of Contents

Under the Cash Bonus Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine the performance goals applicable to awards, which goals may include, without limitation: attainment of research, development and launch milestones, bookings, business divestitures and acquisitions, cash flow, cash position, contract awards or backlog, customer renewals, customer attrition rates or customer retention rates from an acquired company, subsidiary, business unit or division, earnings (which may include earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA lifetime value, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes and net earnings, and other metrics), earnings per share, expenses, gross margin, growth in stockholder value, internal rate of return, inventory turns, inventory levels, market share, net income, net profit, net sales, new product development, new product invention or innovation, number of customers, operating cash flow, operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, overhead or other expense reduction, product defect measures, product development and launch and product release timelines, productivity, profit, return on assets, return on capital, return on equity, return on investment, return on sales, revenue, revenue growth, sales results or selling efforts, sales growth and other growth initiatives, stock price, time to market, total stockholder return, working capital, financial management and operational improvement, product innovation and strategy, installation base lifetime value, service costs, onboard key employees, such other metrics as may be set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC from time to time and individual objectives such as peer reviews or other subjective or objective criteria, each as may be adjusted. As determined by the Committee, performance goals that include our financial results may be determined in accordance with GAAP, or such financial results may consist of non-GAAP financial measures and any actual results may be adjusted by the Committee for one-time items or unbudgeted or unexpected items and/or payments when determining whether the performance goals have been met. The goals may be on the basis of any factors the Committee determines relevant, and may be on an individual, divisional, business unit or enterprise basis. The performance goals may differ from participant to participant and from award to award.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion and at any time, increase, reduce or eliminate a participant’s actual award, or increase, reduce or eliminate the amount allocated to the bonus pool for a particular performance period. The actual award may be below, at or above a participant’s target award, in the Committee’s discretion. The Committee may determine the amount of any reduction on the basis of such factors as it deems relevant, and it is not be required to establish any allocation or weighting with respect to the factors it considers.

Actual awards are paid in cash (or its equivalent) in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after the end of the performance period during which they are earned and after they are approved by the Committee, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month of the fiscal year following the date the award has been earned. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to earn an actual award, a participant must be employed by us (or an affiliate of ours) through the date the bonus is paid.

APX’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, may alter, suspend or terminate the Cash Bonus Plan provided such action does not, without the consent of the participant, alter or impair the rights or obligations under any award theretofore earned by such participant.

Treatment of Equity Incentive Awards in Connection with the Proposed Merger

Vesting/Distribution Modifications. As of immediately prior to the effective time, 313 Acquisition and Vivint Smart Home will take all actions necessary to modify the vesting schedule for the 2.0x Company Group Equity Awards in accordance with the 2.0x Modification and the distribution schedule of the MOIC LTIP Shares in accordance with the LTIP Modification. For additional information regarding the 2.0x Modification and the LTIP Modification, see “Questions and Answers—I am an employee of Vivint Smart Home who holds equity awards of 313 Acquisition LLC, the Parent of Vivint Smart Home and/or Vivint Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Vivint Smart Home. How will my equity awards be treated in the merger?”, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Vested Company Group Class B Units. As of immediately prior to the effective time, each vested Company Group Class B Unit , including those held by our named executive officers (other than Messrs. Pedersen and

 

166


Table of Contents

Dunn) and directors, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Unit so redeemed, in a manner determined by the 313 Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, assuming a hypothetical liquidation of 313 Acquisition. The number of shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock issued with respect to each vested Company Group Class B Unit in such redemptions shall be determined on a pro rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock held by 313 Acquisition as of the effective time. Holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock received in such redemptions will be entitled to receive the merger consideration in accordance with the merger agreement as described above.

Unvested Company Group Class B Units. As of immediately prior to the effective time, each unvested Company Group Class B Unit , including those held by our named executive officers (other than Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn) and directors, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for a number of shares of Company Restricted Stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Units so redeemed, in a manner determined by the 313 Board in accordance with the terms of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, assuming a hypothetical liquidation of 313 Acquisition. Such shares of Company Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units, as modified pursuant to the 2.0x Modification. As of the effective time, each such share of Company Restricted Stock will automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a number of shares of Rollover Restricted Stock equal to the exchange ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share of Mosaic Class A common stock.

Company Group RSUs. As of the effective time, each Company Group RSU, including those held by our directors, to the extent then outstanding and unsettled, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, will automatically be cancelled and converted into, and thereafter evidence, a Rollover RSU entitling the holder thereof to receive upon settlement a number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to such Company Group RSU as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock.

Company Group SARs. As of the effective time, each Company Group SAR, including those held by our directors, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, will automatically be cancelled and converted into and thereafter evidence a Rollover SAR with respect to a number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to such Company Group SAR as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock, with a strike price per share of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share strike price of such Company Group SAR as of immediately prior to the effective time by (ii) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Company Group LTIP Plans. As of the effective time, Mosaic will assume the Company Group LTIP Plans, including any liabilities and obligations associated therewith and make adjustments such that awards under the Company Group LTIP Plans will be settled in a number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock with a fair market value equal to a number of hypothetical Rollover SARs with respect to (a) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to the hypothetical Company Group SARs underlying such Company Group LTIP Plan as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (b) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock, with a strike price per share of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share strike price of such hypothetical Company Group SARs as of immediately prior to the effective time by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent as if the consummation of the merger constituted an event similar to a “Public Offering” for purposes of the Company Group LTIP Plans.

Rollover Equity Awards. Any shares of Mosaic Class A common stock issuable under Rollover Equity Awards, other than the awards granted under the Rollover LTIP Plans or held by Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, will be subject to restrictions on transfer until the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, unless otherwise agreed to by Vivint Smart Home and the applicable holder. Following the effective time, each Rollover Equity Award will be subject to the 2020 Omnibus Plan and to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, any vesting conditions (as modified by the 2.0x Modification or the LTIP Modification, as applicable), as had applied to the corresponding Company Group Equity Award as of immediately prior to the effective time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the merger, subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the Mosaic board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the merger. After the consummation of the merger, holders of outstanding Rollover Equity Awards will have the contingent right to receive earnout shares if, from the consummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of Mosaic Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds as described below.

Treatment of Equity Awards Held by Messrs. Pedersen, Dunn and Bywater. As of immediately prior to the effective time, the Company Group Class B Units, whether or not vested, held by the Holdback Executives will be converted into a number of Class A Units in 313 Acquisition (the “Converted Class A Units”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, with an equivalent value and subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified pursuant to the 2.0x Modification). As of immediately following the effective time, the Converted Class A Units held by the Holdback Executives (in addition to any other Class A Units held by the Holdback Executive) will be automatically reclassified into a number of vested and unvested units designed to track 313 Acquisition’s interests in the VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock, common stock of Vivint Wireless, Inc. (“VW”) and its other property, in each case held as of the effective time, subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Converted Class A Units, as applicable (the “tracking units”). The number of each class of tracking unit to be issued to the Holdback Executives will be determined on a pro rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock and other property held by 313 Acquisition as of immediately following the effective time. On the six-month anniversary of the day following the closing date of the merger, upon request of the Additional Holdback Holder, any then-vested tracking units held by the Additional Holdback Holder (other than other property tracking units), less any amounts previously sold by, or distributed to, the Additional Holdback Holder in connection with sales of shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock by 313 Acquisition, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. On the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, 10% of any then-vested tracking units held by the Vivint Holdback Executives (other than other property tracking units), less any amounts previously sold by, or distributed to, Vivint Holdback Executives in connection with sales of shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock by 313 Acquisition, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for the shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. Following the second anniversary of the closing date of the merger, upon written request to 313 Acquisition by a Vivint Holdback Executive, 313 Acquisition will promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested tracking units (other than other property tracking units) held by the Vivint Holdback Executives for the shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. 313 Acquisition will have no obligation to redeem any other property tracking units at any time and may redeem such tracking units, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. No unvested tracking units held by the Holdback Executives will be redeemed until they become vested.

In connection with the merger, the Company Group Class B Units, Company Group SARs and Company Group RSUs held by Messrs. D’Alessandro, Galant and Tibbetts will be treated as described under

Employment Agreements

Employment Agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn

The employment agreements in effect in 2018 with our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Todd Pedersen, and our President, Alex Dunn, contain substantially similar terms. The principal terms of each of these agreements are summarized below, except with respect to potential payments and other benefits upon specified terminations, which are summarized below under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”. As described above under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Compensation Actions Taken in 2019”, we amended and restated these employment agreements on March 4, 2019.

Each employment agreement was entered into on August 7, 2014, provides for a term ending on November 16, 2017 and extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless either party elects not to extend the term. Under the employment agreements, each executive is eligible to receive a minimum base salary, specified below, and an annual bonus based on the achievement of specified financial goals for fiscal years 2013 and beyond. If these goals are achieved, the executive may receive an annual incentive cash bonus equal to a percentage of his base salary as provided below.

Mr. Pedersen’s employment agreement provides that he is to serve as CEO and is eligible to receive a base salary originally set at $500,000, subject to periodic review and increase, but not decrease. Mr. Dunn’s employment agreement provides that he is to serve as President and is eligible to receive a base salary originally

Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn are also eligible to receive a target bonus of 100% of his annual base salary at the end of the fiscal year if targets established by us are achieved.

The employment agreements contain the method for determining the bonus of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn for any given year. The agreements provide that the calculation of any bonus will be determined based on the achievement of performance objectives, with targets for “threshold”, “target”, and “high” achievement of the specified objectives as further described under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Compensation Elements-Bonuses”.

In addition, each employment agreement provides for the following:

 

   

Reasonable personal use of the company airplane, subject to reimbursement by the executive of an amount determined on a basis consistent with IRS guidelines;

 

   

An annual payment equal to $300,000 per year, subject to all applicable taxes and withholdings, intended to be used to reimburse the Company for the costs of the executive’s personal use of the company airplane; and

 

   

Access to a financial advisor to provide the executive with customary financial advice, subject to a combined aggregate cap of $250,000 on such professional fees for Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn.

Each executive officer is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other executive officers generally.

Each of the employment agreements also contains restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-competition and non-solicitation of our employees and customers and affiliates at all times during employment, and for two years after any termination of employment. These covenants are substantially the same as the covenants Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn agreed to in connection with their receipt of Class B Units summarized below under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards—Equity Awards—Restrictive Covenants”.

Employment Agreements with Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago

On March 8, 2016, we entered into employment agreements with certain of our officers, including Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago. The employment agreements with Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago contain substantially similar terms. The principal terms of each of these agreements are summarized below.

The employment agreement with each of these named executive officers provides for a term ending on March 8, 2019, which extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless either party elects not to extend the term. Under the employment agreements, each executive is eligible to receive a minimum base salary, and an annual bonus award with a target amount equal to a percentage of his base salary. The current annual base salary of each of Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago is $618,000, and each of them is eligible to earn an annual bonus award with a target amount equal to 60% of their base salary at the end of the performance period. If the employment of Messrs. Davies, Eyring or Santiago terminates for any reason, the executive is entitled to receive: (1) any base salary accrued through the date of termination; (2) reimbursement of any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the executive; and (3) such employee benefits, if any, as to which the executive may be entitled under the Company’s employee benefit plans (the payments and benefits described in (1) through (3), “accrued rights”).

Table of Contents

If the employment of Messrs. Davies, Eyring or Santiago is terminated by us without “cause” (as defined below) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled (any such termination, a “qualifying termination”), such executive is entitled to the accrued rights and, conditioned upon execution and non-revocation of a release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, and continued compliance with the non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and confidentiality provisions set forth in the employment agreements:

 

   

a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus based upon the portion of the fiscal year during which the executive was employed (the “pro rata bonus”);

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to 150% of the executive’s then-current base salary plus 150% of the actual bonus the executive received in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year (or, if a termination of employment occurs prior to any annual bonus becoming payable under his employment agreement, the target bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year); and

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to the cost of the health and welfare benefits for the executive and his dependents, at the levels at which the executive received benefits on the date of termination, for 18 months (the “COBRA payment”).

For purposes of their respective employment agreements, the term “cause” means the executive’s continued failure to substantially perform his employment duties for a period of 10 days following written notice from the Company; any dishonesty in the performance of the executive’s employment duties that is materially injurious to the Company; act(s) on the executive’s part constituting either a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; the executive’s willful malfeasance or misconduct in connection with his employment duties that causes substantial injury to us; or the executive’s material breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreements. Each of the foregoing events is subject to specified notice and cure periods.

In the event of the executive’s termination of employment due to death or disability, he will only be entitled to the accrued rights, the pro rata bonus payment, and the COBRA payment.

Each executive officer is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other executive officers generally.

Each of the employment agreements also contains restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-competition and non-solicitation of the Company’s employees and customers and affiliates at all times during employment, and for 18 months after any termination of employment.

Equity Awards

As a condition to receiving his Class B Units, each named executive officer was required to enter into a subscription agreement with us and 313 Acquisition and to become a party to the limited liability company agreement of 313 Acquisition as well as a securityholders agreement. These agreements generally govern the named executive officer’s rights with respect to the Class B units and contain certain rights and obligations of the parties thereto with respect to vesting, governance, distributions, indemnification, voting, transfer restrictions and rights, including put and call rights, tag-along rights, drag-along rights, registration rights and rights of first refusal, and certain other matters.

Vesting Terms

Only vested Class B units are entitled to distributions. Prior to the modification we approved to their terms in June 2018 (the “Modification”), the Class B units were divided into a time-vesting portion (1/3 of the Class B Units granted), a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (1/3 of the Class B Units granted), and a 3.0x exit-vesting portion (1/3

 

173


Table of Contents

of the Class B Units granted). Prior to the Modification, the time-vesting Class B Units, 2.0 exit-vesting Class B Units and 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units had the following vesting terms:

 

   

Time-Vesting Units: Twelve months after the initial “vesting reference date”, as defined in the applicable subscription agreement, 20% of the named executive officer’s time-vesting Employee Units will vest, subject to continued employment through such date. The “vesting reference date” for Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn is November 16, 2012, the date of the grant of their Class B Units. The “vesting reference” date for the Class B Units granted to Messrs. Eyring and Santiago on August 12, 2013 is also November 16, 2012 and the “vesting reference date” for the Class B Units granted to Mr. Davies is November 4, 2013, which is the date he commenced employment with us. Thereafter, an additional 20% of the named executive officer’s time-vesting Class B Units will vest every year until he is fully vested, subject to his continued employment through each vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time-vesting Class B Units will become fully vested upon a change of control (as defined in the securityholders agreement) that occurs while the named executive officer is still employed by us. In addition, as to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, the time-vesting Class B Units will also continue to vest for one year following a termination by 313 Acquisition without “cause” (excluding by reason of death or disability) or resignation by the executive for “good reason”, each as defined in the executive’s employment agreement (any such termination, a “qualifying termination”).

 

   

2.0x Exit-Vesting Units: The 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units vest if the named executive officer is employed by us when and if Blackstone receives cash proceeds in respect of its Class A Units in 313 Acquisition equal to (x) a return equal to 2.0x Blackstone’s cumulative invested capital in respect of the Class A Units and (y) an annual internal rate of return of at least 20% on Blackstone’s cumulative invested capital in respect of its Class A Units (the “IRR Hurdle”). In addition, as to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, the 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units will remain eligible to vest for one year following a qualifying termination if a change of control occurs during such one-year period and, as a result of such change of control, the 2.0x exit-vesting conditions are met. As to Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago, the 2.0x exit- vesting Class B Units will remain eligible to vest for six months following a termination by us without “cause” (as defined for the purposes of the employment agreement) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled if the applicable vesting criteria are satisfied during the six-month period. If the exit-vesting units do not become vested following the end of the six-month period, they will be forfeited without consideration.

 

   

3.0 Exit-Vesting Units: The 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units vest if the named executive officer is employed by us when and if Blackstone receives cash proceeds in respect of its Class A Units in 313 Acquisition equal to (x) a return equal to 3.0x Blackstone’s cumulative invested capital in respect of the Class A Units and (y) an annual internal rate of return of at least 25% on Blackstone’s cumulative invested capital in respect of its Class A Units. In addition, as to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, the 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units will remain eligible to vest for one year following a qualifying termination if a change of control occurs during such one-year period and, as a result of such change of control, the 3.0x exit-vesting conditions are met. As to Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago, the 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units will remain eligible to vest for six months following a termination by us without “cause” (as defined for the purposes of the employment agreement) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled if the applicable vesting criteria are satisfied during the six-month period. If the exit-vesting units do not become vested following the end of the six-month period, they will be forfeited without consideration.

Pursuant to the Modification, the management subscription agreement of each Class B Unit participant was amended to provide that (i) the 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units shall instead become vested at such time, subject to the existing conditions related to continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, that Blackstone shall have received cash proceeds in respect of Blackstone’s Class A Units in 313 Acquisition in an amount necessary to ensure a return equal to 2.0 times Blackstone’s cumulative invested capital in respect of the Class A Units in 313 Acquisition and there shall be no IRR Hurdle and (ii) the 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units shall no

 

174

longer be subject to any performance criteria and instead become vested, subject to the applicable participant’s continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date, with respect to 20% of the 3.0x Class B Units on each of the first five anniversaries of June 12, 2018; provided, that in the event of a change of control during the applicable participant’s continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, the 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become fully vested. The terms of the time-vesting Class B Units remain unchanged and the terms of the 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units and 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units remained unchanged other than as set forth above. The incremental fair value in connection with the modification of the Class B Units is reflected in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table and in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2018” table.

Pedersen and Dunn and one-year non-compete and non-solicit periods and a three-year non-disparagement period for each of our other named executive officers).

Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, if Mr. Pedersen’s or Mr. Dunn’s employment terminates for any reason, the executive is entitled to receive: (1) any base salary accrued through the date of termination; (2) any annual bonus earned, but unpaid, as of the date of termination; (3) reimbursement of any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the executive; and (4) such employee benefits, if any, as to which the executive may be entitled under our employee benefit plans (the payments and benefits described in (1) through (4) , “accrued rights”).

If the employment of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn is terminated by us without “cause” (as defined below) (other than by reason of death or while he is disabled) or if either executive resigns with “good reason” (as defined below) (any such termination, a “qualifying termination”), such executive is entitled to the accrued rights and, conditioned upon execution and non-revocation of a release and waiver of claims in favor of us and our affiliates, and continued compliance with the non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and confidentiality provisions set forth in the employment agreements and described above under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards”:

 

   

a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus based upon the portion of the fiscal year during which the executive was employed (the “pro rata bonus”);

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to 200% of the executive’s then-current base salary plus 200% of the actual bonus the executive received in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year (or, if a termination of employment occurs prior to any annual bonus becoming payable under his employment agreement, the target bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year); and

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to the cost of the health and welfare benefits for the executive and his dependents, at the levels at which the executive received benefits on the date of termination, for two years (the “COBRA payment”).

For purposes of the employment agreements of each of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, the term “cause” means the executive’s continued failure to substantially perform his employment duties for a period of ten (10) days; any dishonesty in the performance of the executive’s employment duties that is materially injurious to us; act(s) on the executive’s part constituting either a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; the executive’s willful malfeasance or misconduct in connection with his employment duties that causes substantial injury to us; or the executive’s material breach of any covenants set forth in the employment agreements, including the restrictive covenants set forth therein. A termination for “good reason” is deemed to occur upon specified events, including: a material reduction in the executive’s base salary; a material reduction in the executive’s authority or responsibilities; specified relocation events; or our breach of any of the provisions of the employment agreements. Each of the foregoing events is subject to specified notice and cure periods.

In the event of the executive’s termination of employment due to death or disability, he will only be entitled to the accrued rights, the pro rata bonus payment, and the COBRA payment.

On March 4, 2019, we amended and restated the employment agreements of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn. The provisions relating to a termination of employment under such amended and restated employment agreements are summarized under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Actions Taken in 2019—Employment Agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn” and such description is incorporated herein by reference.

Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, if the employment of Messrs. Davies, Eyring or Santiago terminates for any reason, the executive is entitled to receive: (1) any base salary accrued through the date of termination; (2) reimbursement of any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the

executive; and (3) such employee benefits, if any, as to which the executive may be entitled under the Company’s employee benefit plans (the payments and benefits described in (1) through (3), “accrued rights”).

If the employment of Messrs. Davies, Eyring or Santiago is terminated by us without “cause” (as defined below) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled (any such termination, a “qualifying termination”), such executive is entitled to the accrued rights and, conditioned upon execution and non-revocation of a release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, and continued compliance with the non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and confidentiality provisions set forth in the employment agreements:

 

   

a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus based upon the portion of the fiscal year during which the executive was employed (the “pro rata bonus”);

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to 150% of the executive’s then-current base salary plus 150% of the actual bonus the executive received in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year (or, if a termination of employment occurs prior to any annual bonus becoming payable under his employment agreement, the target bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year); and

 

   

a lump-sum cash payment equal to the cost of the health and welfare benefits for the executive and his dependents, at the levels at which the executive received benefits on the date of termination, for 18 months (the “COBRA payment”).

Under the employment agreements for Messrs. Davies, Eyring, and Santiago, “cause” means the executive’s continued failure to substantially perform his employment duties for a period of ten (10) days following written notice from the Company; any dishonesty in the performance of the executive’s employment duties that is materially injurious to the Company; act(s) on the executive’s part constituting either a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; the executive’s willful malfeasance or misconduct in connection with his employment duties that causes substantial injury to us; or the executive’s material breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreements. Each of the foregoing events is subject to specified notice and cure periods.

Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn’s cash severance reflects a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (x) 200% of the executive’s base salary of $679,800 and (y) 200% of the executive’s respective actual annual bonus paid for the preceding fiscal year. For fiscal 2016, Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn each received an annual bonus of $660,000. Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago’s cash severance reflects a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (x) 150% of the executive’s base salary of $618,000 and (y) 150% of the executive’s respective actual annual bonus paid for the preceding fiscal year. For fiscal 2016, Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago each received an annual bonus of $360,000.

For Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn reflects the cost of providing the executive officer with continued health and welfare benefits for the executive and his dependents under COBRA for two years and assuming 2018 rates. For Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago reflects the cost of providing the executive officer with continued health and welfare benefits for the executive and his dependents under COBRA for 18 months and assuming 2018 rates.

Upon a change of control each of Messrs. Pedersen’s, Davies’, Dunn’s, Eyring’s and Santiago’s unvested time-vesting Class B Units (including the 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units that were converted to time-vesting Class B Units pursuant to the Modification) would become immediately vested. However, because there was no public market for the Class B Units as of December 31, 2018, the market value of such Class B Units was not determinable. In addition, the unvested 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units would vest upon a change of control if the exit-vesting hurdle is met. Amounts reported assume that the exit-vesting Class B Units do not vest upon a change of control.

Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago

In addition, as described above under “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards—Equity Awards—Restrictive Covenants”, as a condition of receiving their units in 313 Acquisition, Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago agreed to specified restrictive covenants for specified periods upon a termination of employment, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and one-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants and a three-year non-disparagement covenant.

Director Compensation

The members of our board of directors other than David D’Alessandro, who was elected to the board of directors in fiscal 2013, and Paul Galant and Joseph S. Tibbetts, Jr., who were elected to the board of directors in October 2015, received no additional compensation for serving on the board of directors or our Audit Committee or Compensation Committee during 2018.

In connection with the election of each of Messrs. D’Alessandro, Galant and Tibbetts, the Company entered into a letter agreement setting forth the compensation terms related to his service on the board of directors. Pursuant to their respective letter agreements, the Company will pay each of them an annual retainer of $150,000 per year, and Messrs. D’Alessandro, Galant and Tibbetts will not be eligible for any bonus amounts or be eligible to participate in any of the Company’s employee benefit plans.

In addition, in 2013, an affiliate of Mr. D’Alessandro was granted 500,000 Class B Units, which are similar to the Class B Units granted to the named executive officers. The Class B Units were initially divided into a time-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), and a 3.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted). The vesting terms of these units, which have a “vesting reference date” of July 18, 2013, are substantially similar to the Class B Units previously granted to our named executive officers, were modified in 2018 in the same manner the Class B Units previously granted to our named executive officers were modified, and are described under “—Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards—Equity Awards”. Subsequently, in March 2019, 313 Acquisition entered into an agreement with the affiliate of Mr. D’Alessandro which provided that the 2.0x exit-vesting portion of the Class B Units and 3.0x exit portion of the Class B Units would be further modified such that (i) the 2.0x exit-vesting portion will instead vest on the earlier to occur of (x) March 4, 2020, and (y) a change of control and (ii) the 3.0x exit-vesting portion will instead vest on the earlier to occur of (x) March 4, 2021, and (y) a change of control, subject, in each case, to Mr. D’Alessandro continuing to serve on the board of directors as of such date.

On September 20, 2016, each of Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts was granted an award of stock appreciation rights pursuant to the Vivint Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan covering 84,034 shares of common stock of Vivint Group, Inc., with a strike price of $1.19 per share, which became vested and exercisable on July 1, 2017. Upon exercise of a vested SAR, Vivint Smart Home shall pay the holder an amount equal to the number of shares subject to such vested SAR which are being exercised, multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of one share over the applicable strike price, and reduced by the aggregate amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld.

In addition, on June 8, 2018, each of Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts was granted an award of 180,000 restricted stock units and on March 4, 2019, an affiliate of Mr. D’Alessandro was granted an award of 236,111 restricted stock units, in each case covering an equivalent number of shares of Vivint Group, Inc. common stock and pursuant to the Vivint Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Vivint Group Plan”). The restricted stock units granted to Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts become vested on each of the first three anniversaries of June 8, 2018. The restricted stock units granted to the affiliate of Mr. D’Alessandro become vested on each of the first three anniversaries of September 20, 2018. Vested restricted stock units will be settled as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two and one-half months) following the earliest to

occur of (x) the termination of a director’s service other than (1) a removal of such director for Cause (as defined in the Vivint Group Plan) or (2) a resignation of such director at a time when grounds exist for a removal for Cause, (y) a Change of Control (as defined in the Vivint Group Plan) and (z) the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Upon settlement of a vested restricted stock unit, Vivint Smart Home shall pay the holder an amount equal to one share of common stock of Vivint Group, Inc. in cash, shares of common stock of Vivint Group, Inc., shares or units of capital stock of 313 Acquisition or one of 313 Acquisition’s majority-owned subsidiaries that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting power of Vivint Group, Inc.’s capital stock valued at fair market value or any combination thereof. Prior to an initial public offering, if a director’s service is terminated due to death or disability, such director has the right, subject to specified limitations and for a specified period following the termination date, to cause the Company to purchase on one occasion all, but not less than all, of such director’s vested restricted stock units, in either case, at the fair market value of such units. In addition, if the director’s service is terminated for any reason other than cause or a restrictive covenant violation, if the director terminates his service voluntarily when grounds do not exist for a termination with cause or if the director engages in any conduct that would be a violation of a restrictive covenant set forth in the applicable award agreement but for the fact that the conduct occurred outside the relevant periods (any such conduct, a “Competitive Activity”), then the Company has the right, for a specified period following the termination of such director’s service, to purchase all of such director’s vested restricted stock units at fair market value.

The award agreements with Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts relating to the restricted stock units contain specified restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-disparagement, noncompetition and non-solicitation of our employees and subscribers and affiliates at all times during the director’s service, and for a one-year period after any termination of his service.

In connection with the merger, the Class B Units, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units held by Messrs. D’Alessandro, Galant and Tibbetts will be treated as described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Treatment of Equity Incentive Awards in Connection with the Proposed Merger”.

VIVINT SMART HOME’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Vivint Smart Home’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with “Selected Consolidated Financial Information of Vivint Smart Home” and Vivint Smart Home’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under the heading “Risk Factors”. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “we”, “us”, “our”, and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Business Overview

We are a smart home technology company. Our purpose-built platform has all the components required to deliver on the promise of a true smart home experience. Our smart home platform is comprised of the following five pillars: (1) our Smart Home Operating System, (2) our AI-driven smart home automation and assistance software, Vivint Assist, (3) our portfolio of proprietary, internally developed smart devices, (4) our curated yet extensible partner-neutral ecosystem, and (5) our people delivering tech-enabled premium services, including consultative selling, professional installation, and support.

We were founded by our CEO Todd Pedersen in 1999 and have grown to become one of the largest smart home solutions providers in North America with over 1.5 million subscribers as of September 30, 2019, managing over 20 million devices and processing over 1.5 billion home-related events on a daily basis. Our nationwide sales and service footprint covers 98% of U.S. zip codes.

Our culture and our history are characterized by a spirit of continuous innovation, resulting in the development of cutting-edge proprietary smart home devices and tech-enabled services for the smart home. Consistent with our Vivint brand name, which represents ‘to live intelligently’, our solution allows subscribers to live intelligently and to enjoy the benefits of a smart home. Our approach has focused on putting the subscriber experience first, which we do by presenting our subscribers with the right combination of technology and support, delivered by people who care.

Our go-to-market strategy is based on directly educating consumers about the value and benefits of a smart home experience. We reach consumers through a variety of efficient customer acquisition channels, including our direct-to-home, national inside sales, and retail partnership programs. We continue to scale these efforts through our proprietary operations technology, by launching new and innovative products and services, and by building out our consultative sales channels. We continue to strengthen our relationships with existing subscribers by offering them the ability to use Vivint Flex Pay to finance an upgrade of their existing system and to add new devices and features to their smart homes as our portfolio of offerings expands.

Key Performance Measures

In evaluating our results, we review several key performance measures discussed below. We believe that the presentation of such metrics is useful to our investors and lenders because they are used to measure the value of companies such as ours with recurring revenue streams.

Total Subscribers

We refer to “Total Subscribers” as meaning the aggregate number of active smart home and security subscribers at the end of a given period.

 

187


Table of Contents

Total Monthly Revenue

Total monthly revenue (“Total MR”), is the average monthly total revenue recognized during the period.

Average Monthly Revenue per User

Average monthly revenue per user (“AMRU”), is Total MR divided by average monthly Total Subscribers during a given period.

Total Monthly Service Revenue

Total monthly service revenue (“MSR”), is the contracted recurring monthly service billings to our smart home and security subscribers, based on the Total Subscribers number as of the end of a given period.

Average Monthly Service Revenue per User

Average monthly service revenue per user (“AMSRU”), is Total MSR divided by Total Subscribers at the end of a given period.

Attrition Rate

We refer to “Attrition rate” as meaning the aggregate number of canceled smart home and security subscribers during the prior 12 month period divided by the monthly weighted average number of Total Subscribers based on the Total Subscribers at the beginning and end of each month of a given period. Subscribers are considered canceled when they terminate in accordance with the terms of their contract, are terminated by us or if payment from such subscribers is deemed uncollectible (when at least four monthly billings become past due). If a sale of a service contract to third parties occurs, or a subscriber relocates but continues their service, we do not consider this as a cancellation. If a subscriber transfers their service contract to a new subscriber, we do not consider this as a cancellation.

Average Subscriber Lifetime

We refer to “Average Subscriber Lifetime”, in number of months, as meaning 100% divided by our expected long-term annualized attrition rate (which is currently estimated at 13%) multiplied by 12 months.

Net Service Cost per Subscriber

We refer to “net service cost per subscriber” as meaning the average monthly service costs incurred during the period (both period and capitalized service costs), including monitoring, customer service, field service and other service support costs, less total non-recurring Smart Home Services billings for the period divided by average monthly Total Subscribers for the same period.

Net Service Margin

We refer to “net service margin” as meaning the monthly average MSR for the period, less total average net service costs for the period divided by the monthly average MSR for the period.

New Subscribers

We refer to “New Subscribers” as meaning the aggregate number of net new smart home and security subscribers originated during a given period. This metric excludes new subscribers acquired by the transfer of a service contract from one subscriber to another.

 

188


Table of Contents

Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs per New Subscriber

We refer to “net subscriber acquisition costs per New Subscriber” as meaning the net cash cost to create new smart home and security subscribers during a given 12 month period divided by New Subscribers for that period. These costs include commissions, products, installation, marketing, sales support and other allocations (general and administrative and overhead); less upfront payment received from the sale of products associated with the initial installation, and installation fees. These costs exclude capitalized contract costs and upfront proceeds associated with contract modifications.

Total Monthly Service Revenue for New Subscribers

We refer to “Total Monthly Service Revenue for New Subscribers” as meaning the contracted recurring monthly service billings to our New Subscribers during the prior 12 month period.

Total Bookings

We refer to “total bookings” as meaning total monthly Service revenue for New Subscribers multiplied by Average Subscriber Lifetime, plus total Product revenue to be recognized over the contract term from New Subscribers during the prior 12 month period.

Total Backlog

We refer to “total backlog” as meaning total unrecognized Product revenue plus total Service revenue expected to be recognized over the remaining subscriber lifetime for Total Subscribers.

Recent Developments

Going Concern

As discussed in Note 2 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, if Vivint Smart Home does not make specified debt repayments prior to September 1, 2020, certain other indebtedness will become due and payable on that date as discussed below. We have historically generated recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations and may be unable to refinance our debt or make such specified debt repayments prior to September 1, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 5 and Note 19 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, certain of our debt agreements contain “springing maturity” provisions. Under the terms of these springing maturity provisions, if on September 1, 2020 more than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the 2022 notes and 2022 private placement notes will mature on September 1, 2020. If on September 1, 2020 more than $250.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the revolving credit facility will also mature on September 1, 2020. In addition, if on September 1, 2020 more than $275.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the term loan and the 2024 notes will also mature on September 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2019, we had $454.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes outstanding.

As of September 30, 2019, we had $2.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $140.4 million of availability under our revolving credit facility.

We may use a portion of the proceeds from the merger to repay some or all of the outstanding 2020 notes. If less than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes remain outstanding following such repayment, the maturity dates for the debt discussed above would not accelerate to September 1, 2020 from the

original maturity dates disclosed in Note 5 and Note 19 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements. There is no assurance that the merger and the associated debt repayment will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. To the extent additional capital is not obtained through the merger or if the merger proceeds are not used to repay outstanding 2020 notes, our management will seek other forms of financing, which may include issuance of additional equity or debt or other means of timely addressing our debt obligations. There is no assurance such other forms of financing will be available.

In addition, the 2024 Term Loan B Agreement and the indenture governing the 2024 notes contain similar “springing maturity” provisions that may be triggered in 2023, as described further under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt.”

Wireless Internet Business

On July 31, 2019, in an effort to deliver additional cost savings and cash-flow improvements, we completed a spin-off of our wireless internet business. In connection with the spin-off, the equity interests of Vivint Wireless, Inc. were distributed to the stockholders of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. pro rata based on their respective holdings.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

Our future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, including our ability to efficiently grow our subscriber base, expand our Product and Service offerings to generate increased revenue per user, provide high quality products and subscriber service to maximize subscriber lifetime value and improve the leverage of our business model.

Key factors affecting our operating results include the following:

Subscriber Lifetime

Our ability to retain subscribers has a significant impact on our financial results, including revenues, operating income, and operating cash flows. Because we operate a business built on recurring revenues, subscriber lifetime is a key determinant of our operating success. Our Average Subscriber Lifetime is 92 months (approximately 8 years) as of September 30, 2019. If our expected long-term annualized attrition rate increased by 1% to 14%, Average Subscriber Lifetime would decrease to approximately 86 months. Conversely, if our expected attrition decreased by 1% to 12%, our Average Subscriber Lifetime would increase to approximately 100 months. A portion of the subscriber base can be expected to cancel its service every year. Subscribers may choose not to renew or may terminate their contracts for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, relocation, cost, switching to a competitor’s service or service issues. We analyze our retention by tracking the number of subscribers who remain as a percentage of the monthly average number of subscribers at the end of each 12 month period. We caution investors that not all companies, investors and analysts in our industry define retention in this manner.

The table below presents our smart home and security subscriber data for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019:

Historically, we have experienced an increased level of subscriber cancellations in the months surrounding the expiration of such subscribers’ initial contract term. Attrition in any twelve month period may be impacted by the number of subscriber contracts reaching the end of their initial term in such period. Attrition in the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 reflects the effect of the 2013 60-month, 2014 60-month and 2015 42-month contracts reaching the end of their initial contract term. Attrition in the twelve months ended September 30, 2019 reflects the effect of the 2014 60-month, 2015 42-month and 2016 42-month contracts reaching the end of their initial contract term. We believe this trend in cancellations at the end of the initial contract term is comparable to other companies within our industry.

Our subscribers are the foundation of our recurring revenue-based model. Our operating results are affected by the level of our net acquisition costs to generate those subscribers and the value of products and services purchased by them. A reduction in net subscriber acquisition costs or an increase in the total value of products or services purchased by a new subscriber increases the life-time value of that subscriber, which in turn, improves our operating results and cash flows over time.

The net upfront cost of adding incremental subscribers is a key factor impacting our ability to scale. Vivint Flex Pay has made it more affordable to accelerate the growth in New Subscribers. Prior to Vivint Flex Pay, we recovered the cost of equipment installed in subscribers’ homes over time through their monthly service billings. From the introduction of Vivint Flex Pay in early 2017 through September 30, 2019, 24% of subscribers have financed their equipment purchases through RICs, which we fund through our balance sheet. We expect the percentage of subscriber contracts financed through RICs to continue decreasing over time. In addition, since the introduction of Vivint Flex Pay in 2017, 100% of new subscribers have either opted to use this program to finance their equipment costs or paid for their equipment themselves at the time of contract origination. This has greatly reduced our net cost per acquisition, as well as the balance sheet impact of acquiring subscribers. Moving forward, we will continue to explore ways to grow our subscriber base in a cost-effective manner through our existing sales and marketing channels, through the growth of our financing programs, as well as through strategic partnerships and new channels, as these opportunities arise.

We believe the Vivint Flex Pay program will result in higher retention, more revenue per user, and thus greater subscriber lifetime values. Existing subscribers are also able to use Vivint Flex Pay to upgrade their systems or to add new products and services, which we believe further increases subscriber lifetime value. This positively impacts our operating performance, and we anticipate that adding additional financing partners to the Vivint Flex Pay program, both in the United States and Canada, will generate additional revenue growth and a subsequent increase in subscriber lifetime value.

Sales and Marketing Efficiency

Our continued ability to attract and sign new subscribers in a cost-effective manner across the United States and Canada will be a key determinant of our future operating performance. Because our direct-to-home and national inside sales channels are currently our primary means of subscriber acquisition, we have invested heavily in scaling these teams. There is a lag in the productivity of new hires, which we anticipate will improve over the course of their tenure, impacting our subscriber acquisition rates and overall operating success. These Smart Home Pros are instrumental to subscriber growth in the regions we cover, and their continued productivity is vital to our future success.

Generating subscriber growth through these investments in our sales teams depends, in part, on our ability to launch cost-effective marketing campaigns, both online and offline. This is particularly true for our NIS channel, because NIS fields inbound requests from subscribers who find us using online search and submitting our on-site contact form. Our marketing campaigns attract potential subscribers and successfully build awareness of our brand across all our sales channels. We also believe that building brand awareness is important to countering the competition we face from other companies in the geographies we serve, particularly in those markets where our direct-to-home sales representatives are present. We expect to scale our retail channel through several pilot

programs. Similar to the delay between the hiring of a Smart Home Pro and the resulting revenue generation, we anticipate that our retail efforts will take time to reach capacity. Once they do, we hope to accelerate subscriber acquisition and revenue growth by scaling this channel, while maintaining our unit economics.

Expansion of Platform Monetization

As smart home technology develops, we will continue expanding the breadth and depth of our offerings to reflect the growing needs of our subscriber base and focus on expanding our platform through the addition of new smart home experiences and use cases. As a result of our investments to date, our smart home platform is active in over 1.5 million households. We will continue to develop our Smart Home Operating System to include new complex automation capabilities, use case scenarios, and comprehensive device integrations. Our platform supports over 20 million connected devices, as of September 30, 2019.

With each new Product, Service, or feature we add to our platform, we create an opportunity to generate revenue, either through sales to our existing subscribers or through the acquisition of new subscribers. As a result, we anticipate that offering a broader range of smart home experiences will allow us to grow revenue, because it improves our ability to offer tailored service packages to subscribers with different needs. This is the rationale behind our addition of Carguard, a service that expands our smart home experience beyond the four walls of the home. We believe this expansion of our Product and Service offerings will allow us to build our subscriber base, while maintaining or improving margins.

Whether we upsell existing subscribers or acquire new ones, expansion of our platform and corresponding monetization strategies directly impacts our revenue growth and our average revenue per user, and therefore, our operating results.

Subscribers who contract for a smart home are signing up for our combined proprietary smart home devices and tech-enabled service offerings. At the time of signing, subscribers choose the subscription-based service that matches their smart home needs. Because our revenue and operating margins are determined by which package a subscriber signs up for, ensuring that new subscribers choose the appropriate service offering is a major determinant of our operating success. Additionally, because we cover 98% of US zip codes, our service costs greatly impact our operating margins. Over time, as our organization grows, we achieve economies of scale on our service costs. While we anticipate that our service costs per subscriber will decline over time, an unanticipated increase in service costs could negatively impact our profitability moving forward.

Investment in Future Projects

To date, we have made significant investments in the development of our organization, and expect to leverage these investments to continue expanding our Product and Service offerings over time, including integration with third party products to drive future revenue. Our ability to expand our smart home platform and to monetize the platform as it develops will significantly impact our operating performance and profitability in the future.

We believe that the smart home of the future will be an ecosystem in which businesses will seek to deliver products and services to subscribers in a way that addresses the individual subscriber’s lifestyle and needs. As the smart home becomes the setting for the delivery of a wide range of these products and services, including healthcare, entertainment, home maintenance, elder care, beauty, and consumer goods, we hope to become the hub of this ecosystem and the strategic partner of choice for the businesses delivering these products and services.

Our success in connecting with business partners who integrate with our Smart Home Operating System in order to reach and interact with our subscriber base will be a key determinant of our continued operating success. We expect that additional partnerships will generate incremental revenue, because we will share in the revenue

generated by each partner-provided product or service sale that occurs as a result of integration with our smart home platform. If we are able to continue expanding our curated set of partnerships with influential companies, as we already have with Google, Amazon, and Philips, we believe that this will help us to increase our revenue and resulting profitability.

Our ability to introduce a full suite of high-quality innovative new offerings that further expands our existing smart home platform will affect our ability to retain, grow and further monetize our subscriber base. Furthermore, we believe that by vertically integrating the development and design of our products and services with our existing sales and subscriber service activities allows us to more quickly respond to market needs, and better understand our subscribers’ interactions and engagement with our products and services. This provides critical data that we expect to enable us to continue improving the power, usability and intelligence of these products and services. We expect to continue investing in technologies that will make our platform more valuable and engaging for subscribers.

Basis of Presentation

We conduct business through one operating segment, Vivint. We primarily operate in two geographic regions: United States and Canada. See Note 15 in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and Note 16 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about our geographic segments.

Components of Results of Operations

Total Revenues

Recurring and other revenue. Our revenues are generated through the sale and installation of our Smart Home Services contracted for by our subscribers. Recurring Smart Home Services for our subscriber contracts are billed directly to the subscriber in advance, generally monthly, pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts and recognized ratably over the service period. Revenues from products are deferred and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the customer contract term, the amount of which is dependent on the total sales price of products sold. Imputed interest associated with RIC receivables is recognized over the initial term of the RIC. The amount of revenue from services is dependent upon which of our service offerings is included in the subscriber contracts. Our smart home and video offerings generally provide higher service revenue than our base smart home service offering. Historically, we have generally offered contracts to subscribers that range in length from 36 to 60 months that are subject to automatic monthly renewal after the expiration of the initial term. In addition, to a lesser extent, we have contracts that are offered as month-to-month at the time of origination. At the end of each monthly period, the portion of recurring fees related to services not yet provided are deferred and recognized as these services are provided.

Total Costs and Expenses

Operating expenses. Operating expenses primarily consists of labor associated with monitoring and servicing subscribers and labor and expenses associated with products used in service repairs. We also incur equipment costs associated with excess and obsolete inventory and rework costs related to products removed from subscribers’ homes. In addition, a portion of general and administrative expenses, comprised of certain human resources, facilities and information technology costs are allocated to operating expenses. This allocation is primarily based on employee headcount and facility square footage occupied. Because our full-time Smart Home Pros perform most subscriber installations related to customer moves, customer upgrades or generated through our national inside sales channels, the costs incurred within field service associated with these installations are allocated to capitalized contract costs. We generally expect our operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars as the total number of subscribers we service continues to grow, but to remain relatively constant in the near to intermediate term as a percentage of our revenue.

Table of Contents

Selling expenses. Selling expenses are primarily comprised of costs associated with housing for our direct-to-home sales representatives, advertising and lead generation, marketing and recruiting, certain portions of sales commissions (residuals), overhead (including allocation of certain general and administrative expenses) and other costs not directly tied to a specific subscriber origination. These costs are expensed as incurred. We generally expect our selling expenses to increase in absolute dollars as the total number of subscriber originations continues to grow, but to remain relatively constant in the near to intermediate term as a percentage of our revenue.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist largely of finance, legal, research and development, human resources, information technology and executive management expenses, including stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded within various components of our costs and expenses. General and administrative expenses also include the provision for doubtful accounts. We allocate approximately one-third of our gross general and administrative expenses, excluding the provision for doubtful accounts, into operating and selling expenses in order to reflect the overall costs of those components of the business. We generally expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars to support the overall growth in our business, but to decrease in the near to intermediate term as a percentage of our revenue.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization consists of depreciation from property, plant and equipment, amortization of equipment leased under finance leases, capitalized contract costs and intangible assets. We generally expect our depreciation and amortization expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we grow our business and increase the number of new subscribers originated on an annual basis, but to remain relatively constant in the near to intermediate term as a percentage of our revenue.

Restructuring Expenses. Restructuring expenses are comprised of costs incurred in relation to activities to exit or dispose of portions of our business that do not qualify as discontinued operations. Expenses for related termination benefits are recognized at the date we notify the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Liabilities related to termination of a contract are measured and recognized at fair value when the contract does not have any future economic benefit to the entity and the fair value of the liability is determined based on the present value of the remaining obligation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our revenue, loss from operations and net loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates and make changes accordingly. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting estimates have not differed materially from actual results. We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for revenue recognition, deferred revenue, capitalized contract costs, derivatives, retail installment contract receivables, allowance for doubtful accounts, loss contingencies, valuation of intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements; therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting estimates. For information on our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and Note 1 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We offer our customers smart home services combining products, including a proprietary control panel, door and window sensors, door locks, security cameras and smoke alarms; installation; and a proprietary

 

194


Table of Contents

back-end cloud platform software and services. These together create an integrated system that allows our customers to monitor, control and protect their home (“Smart Home Services”). Our customers are buying this integrated system that provides them with these Smart Home Services. The number and type of products purchased by a customer depends on their desired functionality. Because the products and services included in the customer’s contract are integrated and highly interdependent, and because they must work together to deliver the Smart Home Services, we have concluded that installed products, related installation and services contracted for by the customer are generally not distinct within the context of the contract and, therefore, constitute a single, combined performance obligation. Revenues for this single, combined performance obligation are recognized on a straight-line basis over the customer’s contract term, which is the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. We have determined that certain contracts that do not require a long-term commitment for monitoring services by the customer contain a material right to renew the contract, because the customer does not have to purchase products upon renewal. Proceeds allocated to the material right are recognized over the period of benefit, which is generally three years.

The majority of our subscription contracts are between three and five years in length and are non-cancelable. These contracts with customers generally convert into month-to-month agreements at the end of the initial term, and some customer contracts are month-to-month from inception. Payment for recurring monitoring and other Smart Home Services is generally due in advance on a monthly basis.

Sales of products and other one-time fees such as service fees or installation fees are invoiced to the customer at the time of sale. Revenues for wireless internet service that were provided by Vivint Wireless Inc. (“Wireless Internet” or “Wireless”) and any products or services that are considered separate performance obligations are recognized when those products or services are delivered. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue. Payments received or amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue.

We consider products, related installation, and our proprietary back-end cloud platform software and services an integrated system that allows our customers to monitor, control and protect their homes. These Smart Home Services are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is recognized over the customer’s contract term, which is generally three to five years.

Deferred Revenue

Our deferred revenues primarily consist of amounts for sales (including upfront proceeds) of Smart Home Services. Deferred revenues are recognized over the term of the related performance obligation, which is generally three to five years.

Capitalized Contract Costs

Capitalized contract costs represent the costs directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related subscriber contracts. These include commissions, other compensation and related costs incurred directly for the origination and installation of new or upgraded customer contracts, as well as the cost of products installed in the customer home at the commencement or modification of the contract. We calculate amortization by accumulating all deferred contract costs into separate portfolios based on the initial month of service and amortize those deferred contract costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit that we have determined to be five years, consistent with the pattern in which we provide services to our customers. We believe this pattern of amortization appropriately reduces the carrying value of the capitalized contract costs over time to reflect the decline in the value of the assets as the remaining period of benefit for each monthly portfolio of contracts decreases. The period of benefit of five years is longer than a typical contract term because of anticipated contract renewals. We apply this period of benefit to our entire portfolio of contracts. We update our estimate of the period of benefit periodically and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the period of benefit could change significantly. Such changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate. Amortization of capitalized contract costs is included in “Depreciation and Amortization” on the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

The carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs is periodically reviewed for impairment. In performing this review, we consider whether the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs will be recovered. In estimating the amount of consideration we expect to receive in the future related to capitalized contract costs, we consider factors such as attrition rates, economic factors, and industry developments, among other factors. If we determine that capitalized contract costs are impaired, we recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs and the anticipated costs that relate directly to providing the future services exceed the consideration that we have received and that we expect to receive in the future.

Contract costs not directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related subscriber contracts are expensed as incurred. These costs include those associated with housing, marketing and recruiting, non-direct lead generation costs, certain portions of sales commissions and residuals, overhead and other costs considered not directly and specifically tied to the origination of a particular subscriber.

On the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, capitalized contract costs are classified as operating activities and reported as “Capitalized contract costs—deferred contract costs” as these assets represent deferred costs associated with subscriber contracts.

Consumer Financing Program

Vivint Flex Pay became our primary sales model beginning in March 2017. Under Vivint Flex Pay, customers pay separately for the products (including control panel, security peripheral equipment, smart home equipment, and related installation) and Vivint’s smart home and security services. The customer has the following three ways to pay for the products: (1) qualified customers in the United States may finance the purchase of products through a third-party financing provider (“Consumer Financing Program”), (2) we offer to some customers not eligible for the Consumer Financing Program, but who qualify under our underwriting criteria, the option to enter into a retail installment contract (“RIC”) directly with us, or (3) customers may purchase the products at the outset of the service contract by check, automatic clearing house payments (“ACH”), credit or debit card.

Under the Consumer Financing Program, qualified customers are eligible for loans provided by third-party financing providers up to $4,000. The annual percentage rates on these loans range between 0% and 9.99%, based on the customer’s credit quality, and are either installment loans or revolving loans with a 42 or 60 month term.

For certain third-party provider loans, we pay a monthly fee based on either the average daily outstanding balance of the loans or the number of outstanding loans, depending on the third-party financing provider and we share liability for credit losses, with the Company being responsible for between 5% and 100% of lost principal balances. Additionally, we are responsible for reimbursing certain third-party financing providers for the credit card transaction fees associated with the loans. Because of the nature of these provisions, we record a derivative liability at its fair value when the third-party financing provider originates loans to customers, which reduces the amount of estimated revenue recognized on the provision of the services. The derivative liability represents the estimated remaining amounts to be paid to the third-party provider by us related to outstanding loans, including the monthly fees based on either the outstanding loan balances or the number of outstanding loans, shared liabilities for credit losses and customer payment processing fees. The derivative liability is reduced as payments are made by us to the third-party financing provider. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the derivative liability are realized through other expenses (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For other third-party loans, we receive net proceeds (net of fees and expected losses) for which we have no further obligation to the third-party. We record these net proceeds to deferred revenue.

Retail Installment Contract Receivables

For subscribers that enter into a RIC to finance the purchase of products and related installation, we record a receivable for the amount financed. Gross RIC receivables are reduced for (i) expected write-offs of uncollectible balances over the term of the RIC and (ii) a present value discount of the expected cash flows using a risk adjusted market interest rate (together, the “RIC Discount”). Therefore, the RIC receivables equal the present value of the expected cash flows to be received by us over the term of the RIC. At the time of installation, we record a long-term note receivable within long-term notes receivables and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the present value of the receivables that are expected to be collected beyond 12 months of the reporting date. The unbilled receivable amounts that are expected to be collected within 12 months of the reporting date are included as a short-term notes receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The billed amounts of notes receivables are included in accounts receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We impute the interest on the RIC receivable using a risk adjusted market interest rate and record it as an adjustment to deferred revenue and as an adjustment to the face amount of the related receivable. The risk adjusted interest rate considers a number of factors, including credit quality of the subscriber base and other qualitative considerations such as macro-economic factors. The imputed interest income is recognized over the term of the RIC contract as recurring and other revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

When we determine that there are RIC receivables that have become uncollectible, we record an adjustment to the RIC Discount and reduce the related note receivable balance. On a regular basis, we also assess the level of the RIC Discount balance based on historical RIC write-off trends and adjust the balance, if necessary. Account balances are written-off if collection efforts are unsuccessful and future collection is unlikely based on the length of time from the day accounts become past due.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from subscribers for recurring monthly monitoring Services and the billed portion of RIC receivables. The accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and are non-interest bearing and are included within accounts and notes receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We estimate this allowance based on historical collection experience and subscriber attrition rates. When we determine that there are accounts receivable that are uncollectible, they are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Loss Contingencies

We record accruals for various contingencies including legal proceedings and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. The accruals are based on judgment, the probability of losses and, where applicable, the consideration of opinions of legal counsel. We record an accrual when a loss is deemed probable to occur and is reasonably estimable. Factors that we consider in the determination of the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the range of that loss in respect of legal matters include the merits of a particular matter, the nature of the litigation, the length of time the matter has been pending, the procedural posture of the matter, whether we intend to defend the matter, the likelihood of settling for an insignificant amount and the likelihood of the plaintiff accepting an amount in this range. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Purchase accounting requires that all assets and liabilities acquired in a transaction be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets separate from goodwill. For significant

 

197


Table of Contents

acquisitions, we obtain independent appraisals and valuations of the intangible (and certain tangible) assets acquired and certain assumed obligations as well as equity. Identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships and other purchased and internally developed technology. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired.

The estimated fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, estimates of cost avoidance, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, regulations affecting the business model of our operations, technological developments, economic conditions and competition.

We conduct a goodwill impairment analysis annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of our reporting units may be less than their carrying amounts. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, we are able to evaluate goodwill impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, our quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that we compare the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of its net assets, we would be required to complete the second step of the test by analyzing the fair value of its goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. Our reporting units are determined based on our current reporting structure, which as of September 30, 2019 consisted of one reporting unit. As of September 30, 2019, there were no changes in facts and circumstances since the most recent annual impairment analysis to indicate impairment existed.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Long-lived Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term for assets under finance leases, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the remaining estimated economic life of the underlying technology or relationships, which ranges from two to ten years. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or in a pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Amortization expense associated with leased assets is included with depreciation expense. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

We review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, capitalized contract costs, and definite-lived intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We consider whether or not indicators of impairment exist on a regular basis and as part of each quarterly and annual financial statement close process. Factors we consider in determining whether or not indicators of impairment exist include market factors and patterns of customer attrition. If indicators of impairment are identified, we estimate the fair value of the assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

We conduct an indefinite-lived intangible impairment analysis annually as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangibles may be less than the carrying amount. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, we are able to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, our quantitative impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that we compare the estimated fair value of our indefinite-lived intangibles to the carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, the intangibles are not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to the difference is recorded.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes based on the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

We recognize the effect of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Our policy for recording interest and penalties is to record such items as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. We record the effect of a tax rate or law change on our deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. Future tax rate or law changes could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Total revenues increased $124.1 million, or 16%, for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to the growth in recurring and other revenue, which increased $118.9 million, or 16%. Approximately $87.0 million of the increase in recurring and other revenue was due to Service revenue associated with the increase in Total Subscribers of approximately 13% and approximately $4.7 million was due to increases in contracted Services across our subscriber base. Recurring and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 included recognized deferred revenue and RIC imputed interest of $21.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Recurring and other revenues associated with our wireless internet business decreased $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Currency translation positively affected total revenues by $1.4 million, as computed on a constant currency basis.

Total service and other sales revenue increased $4.1 million, or 18% for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to due to increased service billings.

The revenue associated with activation fees is deferred upon billing and recognized over the estimated life of the subscriber relationship. Revenues recognized related to activation fees increased $1.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to the acceleration of recognizing deferred activation fees as a result of a change in the estimated timing related to amortization.

Operating expenses increased $56.6 million, or 21%, for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the $16.2 million in operating expenses directly associated with efforts to expand sales channels, operating expense increased $40.4 million, or 15%. The costs associated with this $40.4 million increase were primarily driven by an increase in personnel and related costs of $28.0 million associated primarily with field service and customer care, an increase in equipment and shipping costs of $8.7 million, an increase in IT related services of $3.4 million, and a $1.6 million increase in payment processing and bank fees associated with the increase in Total Subscribers and the Company’s introduction of Vivint Flex Pay, which requires a customer to use a credit or debit card as their payment method.

Selling expenses, excluding amortization of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, increased $66.9 million, or 51%, for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Selling expenses associated with expanding our sales channels increased by $47.2 million. We also had increases in personnel and related costs of $6.2 million, an increase in facility and housing related costs of $5.7 million, an increase in IT costs of $3.8 million, and an increase in marketing costs of $2.7 million primarily associated with lead generation.

General and administrative expenses increased $45.2 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Increases were primarily related to an increase in personnel and associated costs of $15.8 million, an increase of $10.9 million in costs to support the Company’s expansion of new sales channels, an increase in contracted services of $2.3 million and an increase in advertising costs of $2.2 million, all to support the growth in our business. In addition, we recorded $10.0 million in 2017 related to the settlement of litigation with ADT and bad debt increased by $2.9 million, primarily due to the growth in our customer base.

Depreciation and amortization increased $40.7 million, or 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased amortization of subscriber acquisition costs arising from the growth in our subscriber base and a change in the timing of recognizing capitalized subscriber acquisition costs as a result of the estimate relating to amortization.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily related to the net loss of $2.6 million associated with the 2016 Contract Sales, offset by $1.5 million of wireless restructuring and asset impairment recoveries. (See Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

Not Meaningful (“NM”)

Total revenues increased $168.5 million, or 19%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, of which $43.9 million was associated with the adoption of Topic 606 related to the timing of revenue recognition. The impact of Topic 606 primarily related to the change in timing of revenue recognition associated with customer payments related to products.

Recurring and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $207.0 million, or 25%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, of which $99.8 million related to the adoption of Topic 606 associated with the timing of revenue recognition and classification of revenue components. The as adjusted recurring and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $950.7 million, an increase of $107.2 million, or 13%. Approximately $110.1 million of this increase in recurring and other revenue was due to an increase in Total Subscribers. Recognized deferred revenue increased $46.0 million and recognized RIC imputed interest increased $7.6 million, due to the increased subscriber base, increases in sales of products and the company’s transition to Vivint Flex Pay in 2017. When compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, currency translation had an immaterial impact, as computed on a constant currency basis. The increase in recurring and other revenue was partially offset by $53.7 million from a decrease in the AMSRU of approximately $3.00 attributable to the Company’s transition to Vivint Flex Pay in early 2017 and a decrease of $2.7 million related to wireless.

Total service and other sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 totaled $27.0 million. The as adjusted service and other sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $46.2 million, which represented an increase of $19.2 million, or 71%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to upgrade Product sales and increased service related billings.

Revenues recognized related to activation fees for the year ended December 31, 2017 totaled $11.6 million. The as adjusted revenues recognized related to activation fees for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $9.7 million, which represented a decrease of $1.9 million, or 16% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. This change was primarily due to activation fees no longer being billed separately to subscribers at the time of installation under Vivint Flex Pay.

See Note 3 “Revenue and Capitalized Contract Costs” in Vivint Smart Home’s accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the impact of adopting this standard and a discussion of our updated policies related to revenue recognition and accounting for costs to obtain and fulfill a customer contract.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $34.3 million, or 11%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, which excluded $29.9 million related to certain contract costs previously expensed, but are now included in capitalized contract costs after the adoption of Topic 606. As adjusted operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $64.2 million, or 20% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to increases of $62.9 million in personnel and related costs for field service and customer care, an increase of $11.1 million in non-capitalized equipment and shipping costs, and an increase of $2.7 million of payment processing and bank fees associated with the increase in Total Subscribers and the Company’s transition to Vivint Flex Pay. These increases were offset by decreases of $6.8 million in costs associated with our retail and other sales pilots, contracted services of $5.0 million primarily associated with third-party field services and information technology operating expenses of $2.1 million.

Selling expenses, excluding capitalized contract costs (formerly subscriber acquisition costs), increased by $15.0 million, or 8%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to increases of $14.1 million in personnel and related costs, sales-related information technology costs of $7.9 million, housing and related costs of $6.0 million and marketing costs of $4.7 million primarily associated with lead generation. These increases were offset by a decrease of $18.8 million in costs associated with our retail and other sales pilots.

General and administrative expenses increased $20.9 million, or 10%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to increases in personnel and related costs of $25.4 million, including (i) $6.0 million associated with us offering a 401(k) match beginning in 2018, (ii) $5.4 million in executive retention bonuses and (iii) approximately $1.4 million in incremental stock-based compensation expense from the June 2018 modification of equity awards, research and development costs of $5.3 million, an increase in expensed security offering costs of $4.7 million, an increase in information technology costs of $4.3 million and an increase in contracted services costs of $2.3 million. These costs were offset by a decrease of $10.4 million in costs associated with our retail and other sales pilots and a decrease of $9.1 million in legal and litigation matters.

Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $184.8 million, or 56%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, of which $146.2 million was associated with the adoption of Topic 606, relating to the timing of amortization of capitalized contract costs. As adjusted depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $38.6 million, or 12%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to increased amortization of capitalized contract costs (formerly subscriber acquisition costs) related to new subscribers.

Recurring and other revenue

   $ 773,899      $ 848,146        10

Recurring and other revenue increased $74.2 million, or 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. An increase in Total Subscribers of approximately 8% led to an increase of approximately $70.7 million in recurring and other revenue and an increase in AMRU resulted in an increase of approximately $14.5 million in recurring and other revenue. When compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, currency translation negatively affected recurring and other revenue by $1.7 million, as computed on a constant foreign currency basis. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded an adjustment to reduce recurring and other revenue of $9.1 million associated with a change in accounting estimate related to RIC receivables associated with subscribers originated in 2017 and 2018 (see Note 4 in Vivint Smart Home’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements).

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $9.1 million, or 3%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The primary drivers of the increase were higher personnel and related support costs of $6.7 million, facilities and equipment costs of $3.6 million, information technology costs of $1.7 million, customer payment processing costs of $1.7 million and equipment costs of $1.3 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $4.9 million in costs associated with our retail channel and other sales pilots.

Selling expenses, excluding capitalized contract costs, decreased by $17.0 million, or 10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The primary drivers of the decrease were a decrease in personnel and related support costs of $11.5 million, $10.8 million in lower costs associated with our retail channel and other sales pilots and a decrease in facility and housing costs of $2.6 million. These cost decreases were partially offset by an increase of $8.6 million in marketing costs primarily associated with lead generation.

General and administrative expenses decreased $12.8 million, or 8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The primary drivers of the decrease were a reduction in personnel and related support costs of $5.0 million, a decrease in expensed offering costs of $4.6 million, lower research and development costs of $3.7 million and lower information technology costs of $2.3 million. The decreases were partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in bad debt and $1.0 million in facility costs.

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $21.5 million, or 6%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to increased amortization of capitalized contract costs related to new subscribers.

Restructuring expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to employee severance and termination benefits expenses (See Note 15 to Vivint Smart Home’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

Interest expense increased $13.8 million, or 8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018, due to higher balances on our outstanding notes and revolving credit facility.

Other income, net decreased $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to a gain on our derivative instrument of $5.1 million, a gain on corporate equity securities of $2.3 million and a foreign currency exchange gain of $2.1 million, offset by a loss on sale of assets of $1.6 million. The other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to the $50.4 million gain associated with the sale of our Spectrum intangible assets (see Note 7 to Vivint Smart Home’s accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information), offset by a loss on debt modification and extinguishment of $14.6 million, a loss on our derivative instrument of $9.9 million and a foreign currency exchange loss of $2.2 million.

Income tax benefit decreased $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The income tax benefit for both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 resulted primarily from losses in our Canadian subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Following the merger, New Vivint intends to use the net cash proceeds from the transactions to (i) redeem or repurchase some or all of APX’s 2020 notes and/or other existing indebtedness of Vivint Smart Home and (ii) pay fees and expenses relating to the transactions and the foregoing clause (i), which are estimated to be approximately $38 million. Pending the application of the net cash proceeds as described above, New Vivint may use such proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repaying any borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2019 we had $134.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

As market conditions warrant, we and our equity holders, including 313 Acquisition, its affiliates and members of our management, may from time to time, seek to purchase our outstanding debt securities or loans in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, any purchases made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet or the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt, including additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases may be with respect to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, with the attendant reduction in the trading liquidity of such class or series. In addition, any such purchases made at prices below the “adjusted issue price” (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) may result in taxable cancellation of indebtedness income to us, which amounts may be material, and in related adverse tax consequences to us. Depending on conditions in the credit and capital markets and other factors, we will, from time to time, consider various financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance our indebtedness or for other purposes. For examples:

 

   

In September 2018, we borrowed $810 million under the 2024 Term Loan B (the “2024 Term Loan B”). We used a portion of the net proceeds from the borrowings under the 2024 Term Loan B to redeem in full the entire $269.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% senior secured notes due 2019 (the “2019 notes”) and pay the related accrued interest and redemption premium, to repurchase approximately $250.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes, and to pay fees and expenses related to the 2024 Term Loan B Agreement.

 

   

In May 2019, we issued $225 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 notes. We used the net proceeds from the 2024 notes offering to redeem $225 million aggregate principal amount of our 2020 notes, and to pay the related accrued interest and to pay all fees and expenses related thereto.

For a discussion of our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our indebtedness, see “Vivint Smart Home’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Going Concern.”

Cash Flow and Liquidity Analysis

Our cash flows provided by operating activities include recurring monthly billings, cash received from the sale of products to our subscribers that either pay-in-full at the time of installation or finance their purchase of products under the Consumer Financing Program and other fees received from the subscribers we service. Cash used in operating activities includes the cash costs to monitor and service our subscribers, a portion of subscriber acquisition costs and general and administrative costs. Historically, we financed subscriber acquisition costs through our operating cash flows, the issuance of debt, and to a lesser extent, through the issuance of equity and sale of contracts to third parties. Currently, the upfront proceeds under Vivint Flex Pay, and those that are paid-in-full at the time of the sale of products, offset a portion of the upfront investment associated with subscriber acquisition costs.

Table of Contents

Sales from our direct-to-home channel are seasonal in nature. We make investments in the recruitment of our direct-to-home sales representatives, inventory and other support costs for the April through August sales period prior to each sales season. We experience increases in capitalized contract costs, as well as costs to support the sales force throughout North America, prior to and during this time period. The incremental inventory purchased to support the direct-to-home sales season is generally consumed prior to the end of the calendar year in which it is purchased.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

We generally reinvest the cash flows from our recurring monthly billings and cash received from the sale of products associated with the initial installation into our business, primarily to (1) maintain and grow our subscriber base, (2) expand our infrastructure to support this growth, (3) enhance our existing Smart Home Services offerings, (4) develop new Smart Home Services offerings and (5) expand into new sales channels. These investments are focused on generating new subscribers, increasing the revenue from our existing subscriber base, enhancing the overall quality of service provided to our subscribers, and increasing the productivity and efficiency of our workforce and back-office functions necessary to scale our business.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $365.7 million. This cash used was primarily from a net loss of $276.0 million, adjusted for:

a $49.0 million increase in inventories to support our direct-to-home summer selling season, and

 

   

a $1.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

These uses of operating cash were partially offset by the following changes in operating assets and liabilities:

 

   

a $141.5 million increase in deferred revenue due primarily to the growth in deferred revenues associated with the sale of Products under the Vivint Flex Pay plan and the increased subscriber base,

a $22.8 million increase in accounts payable due primarily to increased inventory purchases, and

 

   

a $106.6 million increase in accrued payroll and commissions, accrued expenses, other current and long-term liabilities, and current and long-term operating lease liabilities due primarily to an increase in accrued payroll and commissions of $62.3 million, an increase in the derivative liability associated with the Consumer Financing Program of $30.6 million and an increase in accrued interest of $27.1 million. These increases were partially offset by the net decrease in the right-of-use liabilities associated with operating leases of $5.7 million.

Net cash interest paid for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 related to our indebtedness (excluding capital leases) totaled $188.2 million, $203.4 million and $236.7 million, respectively. Our net cash from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, before these interest payments, was an outflow of $177.5 million, an outflow of $105.9 million and an inflow of $16.2 million, respectively. Accordingly, our net cash from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 was insufficient to cover these interest payments. For additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness see “—Long-Term Debt” below.

Net cash interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 related to our indebtedness (excluding finance or capital leases) totaled $145.2 million and $162.3 million, respectively. Our net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, before these interest payments, were cash inflows of $15.1 million and $39.6 million, respectively. Accordingly, our net cash provided by operating activities for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 was insufficient to cover these interest payments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 16, 2012, we entered into a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a five year maturity. In addition, we may request one or more term loan facilities, increased commitments under the revolving credit facility or new revolving credit commitments, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $225.0 million. Availability of such incremental facilities and/or increased or new commitments will be subject to certain customary conditions. As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate commitments available under the credit agreement, as amended and restated on August 10, 2017, was $288.2 million.

As of September 30, 2019 we had $140.4 million of availability under our revolving credit facility (after giving effect to $13.8 million of letters of credit outstanding and $134.0 million of borrowings).

Borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (1) the base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% or (2) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate for dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. The applicable margin for base rate-based borrowings (1)(a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments of approximately $267.0 million is and, when in effect, the Series D Revolving Commitments of approximately $15.4 million was 2.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments of approximately $21.2 million was 3.0% and (2)(a) the applicable margin for LIBOR rate-based borrowings (a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments is and, when in effect, the Series D Revolving Commitments is currently 3.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments is currently 4.0%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is subject to one step-down of 25 basis points based on our meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test at the end of each fiscal quarter. Outstanding borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility are allocated on a pro rata basis between each Series based on the total Revolving Commitments.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee (which will be subject to one interest rate step-down of 12.5 basis points, based on our meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test) to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. APX also pays a customary letter of credit and agency fees.

We are not required to make any scheduled amortization payments under the revolving credit facility. The Series D Revolving Commitments expired on March 31, 2019 and the principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable in full with respect to the extended commitments under the Series A Revolving Credit Facility and Series B Revolving Credit Facility on March 31, 2021.

Guarantees and Security (Revolving Credit Facility, 2024 Term Loan B and Notes)

All of the obligations under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the notes are guaranteed by APX and each of APX’s existing and future material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary exclusions and qualifications). However, such subsidiaries shall only be required to guarantee the obligations under the debt agreements governing the Notes for so long as such entities guarantee the obligations under the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B or our other indebtedness. See Note 18 of Vivint Smart Home’s accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional financial information regarding guarantors and non-guarantors. Following the consummation of the merger, New Vivint expects to guarantee all of the obligations under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the notes.

Table of Contents

The obligations under the revolving credit facility, 2024 Term Loan B and the 2022 private placement notes, 2022 notes and 2024 notes (collectively with the 2022 private placement notes and the 2022 notes, the “existing senior secured notes”) are secured by a security interest in (1) substantially all of the present and future tangible and intangible assets of the issuer and the guarantors, including without limitation equipment, subscriber contracts and communication paths, intellectual property, fee-owned real property, general intangibles, investment property, material intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions, (2) substantially all personal property of the issuer and the guarantors consisting of accounts receivable arising from the sale of inventory and other goods and services (including related contracts and contract rights, inventory, cash, deposit accounts, other bank accounts and securities accounts), inventory and intangible assets to the extent attached to the foregoing books and records of the Company and the guarantors, and the proceeds thereof, subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions, in each case held by the Company. and the guarantors and (3) a pledge of all of the capital stock of the Company, each of its subsidiary guarantors and each restricted subsidiary of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors, in each case other than excluded assets and subject to the limitations and exclusions provided in the applicable collateral documents.

Under the terms of the applicable security documents and intercreditor agreement, the proceeds of any collection or other realization of collateral received in connection with the exercise of remedies will be applied first to repay amounts due under the revolving credit facility, and up to an additional $60.0 million of “superpriority” obligations that we may incur in the future, before the holders of the existing senior secured notes or 2024 Term Loan B receive any such proceeds.

Debt Covenants

The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the existing notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

   

incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

 

   

pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

incur certain liens;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

   

merge or consolidate;

 

   

materially change the nature of their business;

 

   

enter into agreements that restrict the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to the issuer;

 

   

designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries;

 

   

amend, prepay, redeem or purchase certain subordinated debt; and

 

   

transfer or sell certain assets.

The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the existing notes contain change of control provisions and certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our long-term obligations.

Subject to certain exceptions, the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the existing notes permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness.

Table of Contents

Our future liquidity requirements will be significant, primarily due to debt service requirements. The actual amounts of borrowings under the revolving credit facility will fluctuate from time to time.

Our liquidity and our ability to fund our capital requirements is dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control and many of which are described under “Risk Factors”. If those factors significantly change or other unexpected factors adversely affect us, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or we may not be able to obtain future financings to meet our liquidity needs. We anticipate that to the extent additional liquidity is necessary to fund our operations, it would be funded through borrowings under the revolving credit facility, incurring other indebtedness, additional equity or other financings or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. We may not be able to obtain this additional liquidity on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Covenant Compliance

Under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the existing notes, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, refinancing certain indebtedness, paying dividends and entering into certain merger transactions is governed, in part, by our ability to satisfy tests based on Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (which measure is defined as “Consolidated EBITDA” in the credit agreements governing the revolving credit facility and 2024 Term Loan B and “EBITDA” in the debt agreements governing the existing notes) for the applicable four-quarter period. Such tests include an incurrence-based maximum consolidated secured debt ratio and consolidated total debt ratio of 4.00 to 1.0, an incurrence-based minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.0, and, solely in the case of the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, a maintenance-based maximum consolidated first lien secured debt ratio of 5.35 to 1.0, each as determined in accordance with the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the Notes. Non-compliance with these covenants could restrict our ability to undertake certain activities or result in a default under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the debt agreements governing the existing notes. As of September 30, 2019, our consolidated first lien secured debt ratio was 3.82 to 1.0, our consolidated total debt ratio was 5.22 to 1.0 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.46 to 1.0, in each case based on Covenant Adjusted EBITDA for the four quarters ended September 30, 2019 and as calculated in accordance with the applicable debt agreements.

We refer to “Covenant Adjusted EBITDA” as meaning net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income and franchise taxes and depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs), further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain contract sales to third parties, non-capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, stock based compensation and certain unusual, non-cash, non-recurring and other items permitted in certain covenant calculations under the agreements governing our notes, the credit agreement governing the 2024 Term Loan B and the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility.

We believe that the presentation of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenants contained in the agreements governing our notes, the credit agreements governing the revolving credit facility and the 2024 Term Loan B. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate Covenant Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Vivint Flex Pay. Vivint Flex Pay became our primary sales model beginning in March 2017. Under the Consumer Financing Program, qualified customers are eligible for loans provided by third-party financing providers up to $4,000. The annual percentage rates on these loans range between 0% and 9.99%, based on the customer’s credit quality, and are either installment loans or revolving loans with a 42 or 60 month term.

For certain third-party provider loans, we pay a monthly fee based on either the average daily outstanding balance of the loans or the number of outstanding loans, depending on the third-party financing provider. Additionally, we share in the liability for credit losses depending on the credit quality of the customer, with our Company being responsible for between 5% to 100% of lost principal balances, depending on factors specified in the agreement with such provider. Because of the nature of these provisions, we record a derivative liability at its fair value when the third-party financing provider originates loans to customers, which reduces the amount of estimated revenue recognized on the provision of the services. The derivative liability represents the estimated remaining amounts to be paid to the third-party provider by us related to outstanding loans, including the monthly fees based on either the outstanding loan balances or the number of outstanding loans, shared liabilities for credit losses and customer payment processing fees. The derivative liability is reduced as payments are made by us to the third-party financing provider. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the derivative liability are realized through other expenses (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of this derivative liability was $143.4 million and $117.6 million, respectively. As we continue to use of Vivint Flex Pay as our primary sales model, we expect our liability to third-party providers to continue to increase substantially and the rate of such increases may accelerate.

For other third-party provider loans, we receive net proceeds (net of fees and expected losses) for which we have no further obligation to the third-party. We record these net proceeds to deferred revenue.

Vehicle Leases. Since 2010, we have leased, and expect to continue leasing, vehicles primarily for use by our Smart Home Pros. For the most part, these leases have 36 to 48 month durations and we account for them as finance leases. At the end of the lease term for each vehicle we have the option to either (i) purchase it for the estimated end-of-lease fair market value established at the beginning of the lease term; or (ii) return the vehicle to the lessor to be sold by them and in the event the sale price is less than the estimated end-of-lease fair market value we are responsible for such deficiency. As of September 30, 2019, our total finance lease obligations were $12.0 million, of which $7.6 million is due within the next 12 months.

Aircraft Lease. In December 2012, we entered into an aircraft lease agreement for the use of a corporate aircraft, which is accounted for as an operating lease. Upon execution of the lease, we paid a $5.9 million security deposit which is refundable at the end of the lease term. Beginning January 2013, we are required to make 156 monthly rental payments of approximately $83,000 each. In January 2015, an amendment to the agreement was made which, among other changes, increased the required monthly rental payments to approximately $87,000 each. We also have the option to extend the lease for an additional 36 months upon expiration of the initial term. The lease agreement also provides us the option to purchase the aircraft on certain specified dates for a stated dollar amount, which represents the current estimated fair value as of the purchase date.

(1)

As of December 31, 2018, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable in full on March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2018, there was approximately $289.8 million of availability under our revolving credit facility (after giving effect to $13.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and no borrowings).

(2)

Represents aggregate interest payments on aggregate principal amounts of $679.3 million of outstanding 2020 notes, $270.0 million of the outstanding 2022 private placement notes, $900.0 million of the outstanding 2022 notes, $400.0 million of the outstanding 2023 notes, and $808.0 million of the 2024 Term Loan B as well as letter of credit and commitment fees for the unused portion of our revolving credit facility. Does not reflect interest payments on future borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Following the merger, New Vivint intends to redeem or repurchase some or all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of APX’s 2020 notes prior to September 1, 2020.

(3)

Purchase obligations consist of commitments for purchases of goods and services that are not already included in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. We have contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible we may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our operations include activities in the United States and Canada. These operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We monitor and manage these financial exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program.

Interest Rate Risk

Our revolving credit facility and term loan facility bear interest at a floating rate. As a result, we may be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates to the extent of our borrowings under these credit facilities. To help

manage borrowing costs, we may from time to time enter into interest rate swap transactions with financial institutions acting as principal counterparties. We consider changes in the 30-day LIBOR rate to be most indicative of our interest rate exposure as it is a function of the base rate for our credit facilities and is reasonably correlated to changes in our earnings rate on our cash investments. Assuming the borrowing of all amounts available under our revolving credit facility, if the 30-day LIBOR rate increases by 1% due to normal market conditions, our interest expense will increase by approximately $10.9 million per annum.

We had $134.0 million borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2019.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have exposure to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the results of our Canadian operations. Our Canadian operations use the Canadian dollar to conduct business but our results are reported in U.S. dollars. We are exposed periodically to the foreign currency rate fluctuations that affect transactions not denominated in the functional currency of our U.S. and Canadian operations. Based on results of our Canadian operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, if foreign currency exchange rates had decreased 10% throughout the period, our revenues would have decreased by approximately $5.3 million, our total assets would have decreased by $28.4 million and our total liabilities would have decreased by $25.4 million. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge investments in foreign subsidiaries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, before intercompany eliminations, approximately $53.5 million of our revenues, $284.1 million of our total assets and $253.7 million of our total liabilities were denominated in Canadian Dollars.

The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Vivint Smart Home’s common stock and preferred stock, as of November 25, 2019, for (1) each person known by Vivint Smart Home to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Vivint Smart Home’s outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock, (2) each member of Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors, (3) each of Vivint Smart Home’s named executive officers and (4) all of the members of Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors and Vivint Smart Home’s executive officers as a group. As of November 25, 2019, Vivint Smart Home had 1,009,144.0204 shares of common stock outstanding, owned by 124 holders of record and had 79,791.0648 shares of preferred stock outstanding, owned by 15 holders of record.

The number of shares and the percentages of beneficial ownership below are based on the number of shares of Vivint Smart Home’s common stock and preferred stock issued and outstanding as of November 25, 2019. In computing the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of such person, Vivint Smart Home deemed to be outstanding all shares of common stock and preferred stock subject to options held by the person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 25, 2019. Vivint Smart Home did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power”, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power”, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days.

Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their beneficially owned common stock and preferred stock.

MANAGEMENT OF NEW VIVINT AFTER THE MERGER

References in this section to “we”, “our”, “us” and the “Company” generally refer to Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, prior to the merger and New Vivint Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the merger.

Management and Board of Directors

Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home anticipate that the current executive officers and directors of Vivint Smart Home will become the executive officers and directors of New Vivint Parent. The following persons are expected to serve as New Vivint Parent’s executive officers and directors following the merger. For biographical information concerning the executive officers and directors, other than Mr. Maura, see “Management of Vivint Smart Home, Inc”. For biographical information concerning Mr. Maura, see “Management of Mosaic—Directors and Executive Officers”. Additionally, Fortress will be entitled to appoint a director affiliated with The SoftBank Vision Fund to New Vivint Parent’s board of directors so long as Fortress beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock it owns immediately following the consummation of the merger.

Corporate Governance

We will structure our corporate governance in a manner Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home believe will closely aligns our interests with those of our stockholders following the merger. Notable features of this corporate governance include:

 

   

we will have independent director representation on our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees immediately at the time of merger, and our independent directors will meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of our corporate officers or non-independent directors;

 

   

at least one of our directors will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC; and

 

   

we will implement a range of other corporate governance best practices, including placing limits on the number of directorships held by its directors to prevent “overboarding” and implementing a robust director education program.

 

226


Table of Contents

Role of Board in Risk Oversight

The board of directors has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to us and our business and accomplishes this oversight through the regular reporting to the board of directors by the audit committee. The audit committee represents the board of directors by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the audit committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of our business and summarizes for the board of directors all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, our board of directors receives periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

Controlled Company Exception

After the completion of the merger, if more than approximately 14.1 million shares (or approximately 9.1 million shares if the Additional Fortress Investment Shares are purchased in the open market) of Mosiac Class A common stock are redeemed, affiliates of Blackstone will beneficially own a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our common stock. If Blackstone controls a majority of the voting power of New Vivint Parent, New Vivint Parent will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE’s corporate governance standards. Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (1) that a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) that our board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that our board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. For at least some period following the merger, we may utilize these exemptions since our board has not yet made a determination with respect to the independence of any directors. Pending such determination, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. If New Vivint Parent ceases to be a “controlled company” and its shares continue to be listed on the NYSE, New Vivint Parent will be required to comply with these standards and, depending on the board’s independence determination with respect to our then-current directors, we may be required to add additional directors to our board in order to achieve such compliance within the applicable transition periods.

Composition of the New Vivint Parent Board of Directors After the Merger

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. In connection with the merger, we will amend and restate Mosaic’s existing charter to provide for a classified Board of Directors, with four directors in Class I (expected to be Joseph S. Tibbetts, Jr., Todd R. Pedersen, Alex J. Dunn and David F. D’Alessandro), three directors in Class II (expected to be Peter F. Wallace, David M. Maura and a director affiliated with The SoftBank Vision Fund designated by Fortress) and three directors in Class III (expected to be Bruce McEvoy, Paul S. Galant and Jay D. Pauley). See “Description of Capital Stock—Anti-Takeover Effects of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law—Classified Board of Directors”.

Board Committees

After the completion of the merger, the standing committees of our board of directors will consist of an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.

 

227


Table of Contents

Our president and chief executive officer and other executive officers will regularly report to the non-executive directors and the audit, the compensation and the nominating and corporate governance committees to ensure effective and efficient oversight of our activities and to assist in proper risk management and the ongoing evaluation of management controls. We believe that the leadership structure of our board of directors provides appropriate risk oversight of our activities given the controlling interests held by 313 Acquisition.

Audit Committee

Upon the completion of the merger, we expect to have an audit committee, consisting of Joseph S. Tibetts, Jr., who will be serving as the chairperson, Jay D. Pauley and an additional director, which we currently expect will be a director affiliated with The SoftBank Vision Fund designated by Fortress. Each proposed member of the audit committee qualifies as an independent director under the NYSE corporate governance standards and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Following the merger, our board of directors will determine which member of our audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of the NYSE.

The purpose of the audit committee will be to prepare the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in our proxy statement and to assist our board of directors in overseeing and monitoring (1) the quality and integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, (4) the performance of our internal audit function and (5) the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the audit committee which will be available on our website upon the completion of the merger.

Compensation Committee

Upon the completion of the merger, we expect to have a compensation committee, consisting David F. D’Alessandro, who will be serving as the chairperson, Bruce McEvoy and Peter F. Wallace.

The purpose of the compensation committee is to assist our board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) setting our compensation program and compensation of our executive officers and directors, (2) monitoring our incentive and equity-based compensation plans and (3) preparing the compensation committee report required to be included in our proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the compensation committee which will be available on our website upon the completion of the merger.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Upon the completion of the merger, we expect to have a nominating and corporate governance committee, consisting of Peter F. Wallace, who will be serving as the chairperson, David F. D’Alessandro and Paul S. Galant. The purpose of our nominating and corporate governance committee will be to assist our board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) identifying individuals qualified to become new board of directors members, consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors, (2) reviewing the qualifications of incumbent directors to determine whether to recommend them for reelection and selecting, or recommending that the board of directors select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders, (3) identifying board of directors members qualified to fill vacancies on any board of directors committee and recommending that the board of directors appoint the identified member or members to the applicable committee, (4) reviewing and recommending to the board of directors corporate governance principles applicable to us, (5) overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors and management and (6) handling such other matters that are specifically delegated to the committee by the board of directors from time to time.

 

228


Table of Contents

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee which will be available on our website upon completion of the merger.

Code of Business Conduct

We will adopt a new code of business conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, which will be available on our website upon the completion of the merger. Our code of business conduct is a “code of ethics”, as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. Please note that our Internet website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only. We will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our code of ethics on our Internet website.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the compensation committee was at any time during fiscal year 2018, or at any other time, one of our officers or employees. We are parties to certain transactions with Blackstone described in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of our board of directors or member of our compensation committee.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

Overview

Following the closing of the merger, we expect New Vivint’s executive compensation program to be consistent with Vivint Smart Home’s existing compensation policies and philosophies, which are designed to:

 

   

attract, retain and motivate senior management leaders who are capable of advancing our mission and strategy and ultimately, creating and maintaining our long-term equity value. Such leaders must engage in a collaborative approach and possess the ability to execute our business strategy in an industry characterized by competitiveness and growth;

 

   

reward senior management in a manner aligned with our financial performance; and

 

   

align senior management’s interests with our equity owners’ long-term interests through equity participation and ownership.

Following the closing of the merger, decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, will be made by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the compensation of our named executive officers and directors following the merger. The actual compensation of our named executive officers will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion.

We anticipate that compensation for our executive officers will have the following components: base salary, cash bonus opportunities, long-term incentive compensation, broad based employee benefits, supplemental executive perquisites and severance benefits. Base salaries, broad-based employee benefits, supplemental executive perquisites and severance benefits will be designed to attract and retain senior management talent. We will also use annual cash bonuses and long-term equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of our named executive officers with the long-term interests of our equity-owners and to enhance executive retention.

Base Salary

We expect that our named executive officers’ base salaries in effect prior to the merger will continue as described under “Management of Vivint Smart Home, Inc.—Executive Compensation”, subject to immaterial

 

229


Table of Contents

increases made in connection with Vivint Smart Home’s annual review of its named executive officers’ base salaries, and be reviewed annually by the compensation committee.

Annual Bonuses

We expect that New Vivint will use annual cash incentive bonuses for the named executive officers to motivate their achievement of short-term performance goals and tie a portion of their cash compensation to performance. We expect that, near the beginning of each year, the compensation committee will select the performance targets, target amounts, target award opportunities and other terms and conditions of annual cash bonuses for the named executive officers, subject to the terms of their employment agreements. Following the end of each year, the compensation committee will determine the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the named executive officers.

Stock-Based Awards

We expect New Vivint to use stock-based awards in future years to promote our interest by providing these executives with the opportunity to acquire equity interests as an incentive for their remaining in our service and aligning the executives’ interests with those of New Vivint’s equity holders. Stock-based awards will be awarded in future years under the 2020 Omnibus Plan, which has been adopted by Mosaic’s board of directors and is being submitted to Mosaic’s stockholders for approval at the special meeting. For a description of the 2020 Omnibus Plan, please see “Proposal No. 17—The Incentive Plan Proposal—Summary of Material Terms of the 2020 Omnibus Plan.”

Other Compensation

We expect New Vivint to continue to maintain various employee benefit plans currently maintained by Vivint Smart Home, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance and 401(k) plans, paid vacation, sick leave and holidays and employee assistance program benefits in which the named executive officers will participate. We also expect New Vivint to continue to provide its named executive officers with specified perquisites and personal benefits currently provided by Vivint Smart Home that are not generally available to all employees. For additional details, please see “Management of Vivint Smart Home, Inc.—Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Benefits and Perquisites.

Director Compensation

Following the merger, non-employee directors of New Vivint that are not affiliated with Blackstone will receive varying levels of compensation for their services as directors and members of committees of New Vivint’s board of directors. New Vivint anticipates determining director compensation in accordance with industry practice and standards.

THE MERGER

The following is a discussion of the merger and the material terms of the merger agreement, as amended by the merger agreement amendment, in each case among Mosaic, Merger Sub and Vivint Smart Home. You are urged to read carefully the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment in their entirety, copies of which are attached as Annex A-I and Annex A-II, respectively, to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. All references to the “merger agreement” shall be read to give effect to the merger agreement amendment. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that is important to you. We encourage you to read the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment carefully and in their entirety. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Terms of the Merger

Transaction Structure

Mosaic’s and Vivint Smart Home’s boards of directors have approved the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides for the merger of Vivint Smart Home with and into Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic, with Vivint Smart Home surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic.

Merger Consideration

Each share of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock) will be converted into a number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock in accordance with the certificate of designation of the Vivint Smart Home preferred stock.

Each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock or any dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock, except for any fractional shares of Mosaic Class A common stock which would result (which will instead be paid out in cash in accordance with the merger agreement). See “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration—Stock Consideration”.

Conversion of Shares; Exchange Procedures

The conversion of Vivint Smart Home common stock into the right to receive the merger consideration will occur automatically at the effective time of the merger. As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the merger, New Vivint will exchange certificates representing shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock for merger consideration to be received in the merger pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.

Certificates and Letters of Transmittal

Concurrently with the mailing of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, New Vivint will send a letter of transmittal to each holder of record of a certificate that represented shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. This mailing will contain instructions on how to surrender shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock in exchange for the merger consideration the holder is entitled to receive under the merger agreement. From and after the effective time, Vivint Smart Home stockholders who properly surrender their certificates to New Vivint, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, will receive for each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock the merger consideration.

 

231


Table of Contents

Dissenting Shares

Shares held by Vivint Smart Home stockholders who have perfected and not lost their right to demand appraisal of their shares in accordance with the procedures and requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL will not be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, and such Vivint Smart Home stockholders will instead be entitled only to the rights granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such Vivint Smart Home stockholder withdraws or loses his or her appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, the shares of Vivint Smart Home capital stock held by such Vivint Smart Home stockholder will be deemed to be converted, as of the effective time, into the right to receive the merger consideration.

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates

If a certificate for Vivint Smart Home common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, New Vivint will issue the merger consideration properly payable under the merger agreement upon receipt of an affidavit as to that loss, theft or destruction, any other appropriate evidence as to the ownership of that certificate by the claimant and appropriate and customary indemnification as may be requested by New Vivint.

Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of Vivint Smart Home

Vivint Smart Home does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future earnings, subscribers or other results. However, Vivint Smart Home’s senior management prepared and provided to Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors, Vivint’s financial advisors and Mosaic certain internal, unaudited prospective financial information in connection with the evaluation of the merger. Vivint Smart Home’s senior management prepared such financial information based on Vivint Smart Home’s senior management’s judgement and assumptions regarding the future financial performance of Vivint Smart Home. The inclusion of the below information should not be regarded as an indication that Vivint Smart Home or any other recipient of this information considered—or now considers—it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results.

The unaudited prospective financial information is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, that information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.

While presented in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the information set forth in the summary below was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Vivint Smart Home’s management, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”. Vivint Smart Home believes the assumptions in the prospective financial information were reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, given the information Vivint Smart Home had at the time. However, important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to Vivint Smart Home’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the preparation and presentation of financial forecasts but, in the view of Vivint Smart Home’s management, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Vivint Smart Home. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

Table of Contents

No independent auditors have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying prospective financial information and, accordingly, none of Vivint Smart Home, Mosaic or any of their independent auditors express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. The audit reports included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information. They do not extend to the prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

Except as required by applicable securities laws, Vivint Smart Home does not intend to make publicly available any update or other revision to the prospective financial information. The prospective financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date that information was prepared. Readers of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the unaudited prospective financial information set forth below. None of Vivint Smart Home, Mosaic nor any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any Vivint Smart Home stockholder, Mosaic stockholder or any other person regarding ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the prospective financial information or that financial and operating results will be achieved.

Certain of the measures included in the prospective financial information may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by Vivint Smart Home may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. Financial measures provided to a financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, we have not provided a reconciliation of the financial measures.

Background of the Merger

Mosaic is a blank check company originally incorporated on July 26, 2017 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Effective December 21, 2018, Mosaic changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. The business combination with Vivint Smart Home is a result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and investing and transaction experience of Mosaic’s management team and board of directors. The terms of the merger agreement are the result of an arm’s length negotiation between representatives of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home.

On an ongoing basis, Vivint Smart Home and its board of directors, together with their legal and financial advisors, have reviewed and evaluated strategic opportunities and alternatives with a view to enhancing stockholder value. Such opportunities and alternatives included, among other things, acquisitions, dispositions and capital markets transactions.

The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the merger agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among representatives of Mosaic, Vivint Smart Home and other parties.

On October 23, 2017, Mosaic completed its initial public offering. Prior to the consummation of Mosaic’s IPO, neither Mosaic, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with Mosaic.

From the date of Mosaic’s IPO through the signing of the merger agreement with Vivint Smart Home on September 15, 2019, David M. Maura, Mosaic’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew A. McKnight, a director of Mosaic, R. Edward Albert III, Mosaic’s Chief Operating Officer and Tyler S. Kolarik, a director of Mosaic, along with representatives of Mosaic’s financial advisors RBC Capital Markets, LLC (“RBC”) and Deutsche Bank AG (“DB”) contacted, and were contacted by, a number of individuals and entities with respect to business combination opportunities. As part of this process, representatives of Mosaic considered and evaluated over five hundred potential acquisition targets in a wide variety of industry sectors and evaluated illustrative transaction structures to effect a business combination with thirty-nine of such potential acquisition targets. In connection with such evaluation, representatives of Mosaic had discussions regarding certain transaction structures with the members of management and / or the boards of directors of certain potential acquisition targets. From the date of Mosaic’s IPO through September 15, 2019, representatives of Mosaic submitted indications of interest to fifteen potential acquisition targets following evaluation of, and discussions with, each such potential acquisition target.

Of the fifteen potential acquisition targets that received indications of interest, representatives of Mosaic engaged in significant due diligence and detailed discussions directly with the senior executives and / or shareholders of Vivint Smart Home and four other potential acquisition targets. Mosaic did not pursue a potential

transaction with the other potential acquisition targets for a variety of factors, including the ability to reach a mutually acceptable valuation, and decisions to pursue potential alternative transactions. In July and August 2019, Mosaic engaged in discussions with one of those potential acquisition targets but decided not to continue those discussions because it had reached a preliminary understanding with Vivint Smart Home on the terms of a transaction and considered a transaction with Vivint Smart Home to be more compelling.

Mosaic decided to pursue an acquisition of Vivint Smart Home because it determined that Vivint Smart Home represented a compelling opportunity given its strong management team, strong growth and margin profile, and fast-growing and large market opportunity. Compared to Vivint Smart Home, Mosaic and its advisors did not consider the other alternative acquisition targets that Mosaic evaluated to be as compelling when taking into consideration their business prospects, strategy, management teams, structure, likelihood of execution and valuation considerations.

Certain funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (collectively, the “Fortress Debt Investor”) have previously held and/or currently hold positions in: (i) APX’s term loan (the “Loan”), (ii) APX’s secured bonds due December 2022 (the “2022 Bonds”), (iii) APX’s unsecured bonds due September 2023 (the “2023 Bonds”), and (iv) APX’s secured bonds due November 2024 (the “2024 Bonds” and, collectively with the Loan, the 2022 Bonds and the 2023 Bonds, the “Debt”), as described below. APX Group, Inc. is an indirect subsidiary of Vivint Smart Home.

 

   

The Fortress Debt Investor acquired a $72 million face amount position in the Loan between September 2018 and January 2019. The Fortress Debt Investor then sold a $5.5 million face amount position in the Loan in February and March 2019. The Fortress Debt Investor continues to hold a $66.5 million face amount position in the Loan.

 

   

The Fortress Debt Investor acquired a $5 million face amount position in the 2022 Bonds in July 2018, and exited the respective position in August 2018.

 

   

The Fortress Debt Investor acquired a $40.6 million face amount position in the 2023 Bonds between July 2018 and April 2019.

 

   

The Fortress Debt Investor acquired a $20 million face amount position in the 2024 Bonds in April 2019.

During early January 2019, in light of the Fortress Debt Investor’s positions in the Debt, Mr. Maura discussed with the directors of Mosaic affiliated with Fortress the possibility that Mosaic could consider pursuing a transaction with Vivint Smart Home. During this discussion, Fortress informed Mosaic and Mr. Maura that it would not join, and would exclude itself from, any Mosaic transaction discussions and information exchanges with Vivint Smart Home, in light of the preliminary nature of such discussions and of the trading positions of the Fortress Debt Investor. Representatives of Fortress remained excluded from any transaction discussions and information exchanges between Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home until April 26, 2019 and, for the avoidance of doubt, all references to Mosaic and representatives of Mosaic (whether before or after April 26, 2019) do not include representatives of Fortress.

On January 14, 2019, Mr. Maura met with Peter Wallace and Bruce McEvoy, members of Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors, in order to discuss the possibility of a transaction between Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home, which was followed by a call on January 30, 2019, to further discuss the possibility of a transaction between Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home.

Representatives of Paul Weiss reviewed with the Mosaic board of directors the current status of the transaction negotiations and documents and the fact that Mosaic had received a waiver from each of the anchor investors, changes to the merger agreement since their meeting on September 14, 2019 and the resolutions to be approved by the board of directors in connection with entering into the transactions. At the meeting, Mosaic’s board of directors unanimously declared that the merger agreement, the merger and the related transaction documentation and other transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and in the best interests of Mosaic and its stockholders, approved the form, terms and provisions of, and the transactions contemplated by, the merger agreement, including the merger, and the related transaction documentation and other transactions contemplated thereby, including the equity issuances and other matters required to be submitted to votes of the stockholders, and authorized Mosaic to enter into the merger agreement and the other transaction documents and perform each of its obligations thereunder, including the merger. In addition, to comply with Mosaic’s certificate of incorporation regarding transactions with affiliates, the independent directors (pursuant to the listing standards of the NYSE) approved each of the agreements and other transactions between Mosaic, on the one hand, and any of the Fortress Sponsor, Mosaic Sponsor or their respective affiliates, on the other hand.

Following the meeting of Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors and the meeting of Mosaic’s board of directors, the parties executed the merger agreement, and the related transaction documentation.

On the morning of September 16, 2019, prior to the commencement of trading of the shares of Mosaic common stock on the NYSE, the parties issued a press release announcing the transactions.

On September 16, 2019, Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home each filed an investor presentation for use in making presentations to potential and existing investors of Mosaic in connection with the merger.

From the signing of the merger agreement through the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, representatives of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home held meetings with potential and existing investors of Mosaic. As part of those meetings, potential and existing investors of Mosaic provided feedback on, among other things, the merger and its terms, their level of interest in investing or remaining invested in Mosaic and the likelihood of their exercising their redemption rights.

Beginning on December 3, 2019, Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home mailed the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus to their respective stockholders.

The majority of the feedback received from potential and existing investors of Mosaic through early December, including feedback received following the mailing of the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, indicated that potential and existing investors would be unlikely to be interested in investing or remaining invested in Mosaic at a transaction enterprise value for Vivint Smart Home of $5.5 billion. Based on this feedback, representatives of Evercore, DB, RBC, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley (“MS”) and Goldman Sachs (“GS”), financial advisors to Mosaic, informed representatives of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home that they expected a number of existing investors of Mosaic would seek to exercise their redemptions rights, which would likely exceed the Maximum Redemption Condition. The representatives of Evercore, DB, RBC, J.P. Morgan, MS and GS also discussed with representatives of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home the effect of a high number of redemptions, which would reduce the amount of cash available for repayment of Vivint Smart Home’s existing indebtedness, reduce the free float of New Vivint common stock following the closing and increase the volatility of the trading price of New Vivint common stock following the closing, all of which could significantly affect New Vivint’s equity value following the closing.

Based on the feedback received from potential and existing investors of Mosaic and Mosaic’s and Vivint Smart Home’s respective financial advisors, representatives of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home began to discuss potential changes to the terms of the merger and the related transactions that could improve the marketability of the transactions to potential and existing investors.

Recommendation of the Vivint Smart Home Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger

After consideration, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors adopted resolutions determining that the merger agreement, the merger contemplated by the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of Vivint Smart Home and its stockholders, adopting and approving the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, directing that the merger agreement be submitted to the holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock for consideration. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors recommends that the holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock adopt and approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by executing and delivering the written consent furnished with this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

In reaching its decision to adopt and approve, and declare advisable, the merger agreement and resolving to recommend that Vivint Smart Home stockholders adopt and approve the merger agreement and thereby approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors consulted with Vivint Smart Home’s management, as well as its financial and legal advisors, and considered a number of factors, including its knowledge of Vivint Smart Home’s business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects, and its knowledge of the financial and capital markets and the risks associated with pursuing an initial public offering of Vivint Smart Home. Among the various factors that the Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered in favor of its decision are:

 

   

Other Alternatives. It is the belief of the Vivint Smart Home board of directors, after review of alternative strategic opportunities from time to time, that the proposed merger represents the best potential transaction for Vivint Smart Home to create greater value for Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders, while also providing greater liquidity by owning stock in a public company.

 

   

Advantages Over a Traditional IPO. Prior to executing the merger agreement, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the alternative of a traditional IPO. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered that the merger provided certain advantages over a traditional IPO. In particular, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered that, based on available information at the time, including with respect to the conditions of the IPO market for companies of a similar size and industry as Vivint Smart Home, the merger with Mosaic was likely to provide for a more time- and cost-effective means to capital with a higher likelihood of completion in light of the committed equity investments, greater valuation certainty and less dilution to Vivint Smart Home’s existing stockholders and would provide potential investors with more extensive information about the prospects of Vivint Smart Home.

 

   

Terms of the Merger Agreement. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including but not limited to the nature and scope of the closing conditions and the likelihood of obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals, in addition to the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger.

 

   

Size of Post-Combination Company. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the merger implied enterprise value of approximately $5.6 billion for Vivint Smart Home, providing Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders with the opportunity to go forward with ownership in a public company with a larger market capitalization.

 

245


Table of Contents
   

Access to Capital. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors expects that the merger would be a more time- and cost-effective means to access capital, repay a portion of its existing indebtedness and reduce leverage than other options considered, including an IPO.

 

   

Benefit from Being a Public Company. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors believes that under new public ownership it will have the flexibility and financial resources to pursue and execute a growth strategy to increase revenues and stockholder value and will benefit from being publicly traded, and can effectively utilize the broader access to capital and public profile that are associated with being a publicly traded company.

 

   

Mosaic letter agreement and Sponsor Agreement. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered that the Sponsors entered into (i) an agreement with Mosaic and (ii) the Sponsor Agreement with Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home pursuant to which the Sponsors and one of Mosaic’s independent directors have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 20% of the aggregate voting power of the Mosaic common stock in favor of the proposals required to effect the merger.

 

   

Support Agreement. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered that 313 Acquisition entered into the Vivint Smart Home support agreement with Mosaic. Under the Vivint Smart Home support agreement, 313 Acquisition agreed, promptly following the SEC declaring this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus effective, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock held by 313 Acquisition, which represent approximately 92% of the outstanding voting power of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock (on an as converted basis), adopting the merger agreement and approving the merger, subject to certain exceptions. For a more detailed description of the Support Agreement, see the section titled “Other Agreements—Vivint Smart Home Support Agreement” beginning on page 285 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

 

   

Stockholders Agreement. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered that Mosaic entered into a Stockholders Agreement with 313 Acquisition and the Stockholder Parties. Under the Stockholders Agreement, following the merger, New Vivint Parent’s board of directors will be composed of a certain number of Sponsor Directors (as defined below), as determined by Blackstone, Fortress and the Summit Holders’ ownership of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock. For a more detailed description of the Stockholders Agreement, see the section titled “Other Agreements—Stockholders Agreement” beginning on page 286 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

 

   

Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements. Certain stockholders have agreed that they will not during the Lock-Up Period (as defined below), directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of New Vivint common stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, or any interest in any of the foregoing. For a more detailed description of the Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements, see the section titled “Other Agreements—Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements” beginning on page 287 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

 

   

Registration Rights Agreement. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors also considered that New Vivint Parent entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors and certain other stockholders of New Vivint Parent. Under the registration rights agreement, New Vivint Parent agreed to provide to Blackstone an unlimited number of “demand” registration rights and to provide to other Investors customary “piggyback” registration rights. The registration rights agreement also provides that New Vivint Parent will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the registration rights holders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act. For a more detailed description of the Registration Rights Agreement,

see the section titled “Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement” beginning on page 288 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors also considered the following negative factors:

 

   

Risk that merger may not be completed. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the risk that the merger might not be consummated in a timely manner or at all, due to a lack of stockholder approval or failure to satisfy various conditions to closing.

 

   

Impact on reputation and business if the merger is not completed. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the possibility that the merger might not be completed and that there may be an adverse effect of the public announcement of the merger on Vivint Smart Home’s reputation and business in the event the merger is not completed.

 

   

Expenses and challenges. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the expenses to be incurred in connection with the merger and related administrative challenges associated with combining the companies.

 

   

Costs of being a public company. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the additional public company expenses and obligations that Vivint Smart Home’s business will be subject to following the merger that it has not previously been subject to.

 

   

Restrictions on operation of Vivint Smart Home’s business. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the fact that, although Vivint Smart Home will continue to exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, control and supervision over its operations prior to the completion of the merger, the merger agreement generally obligates Vivint Smart Home, subject to Mosaic’s prior consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and in accordance with specified restrictions, which might delay or prevent Vivint Smart Home from undertaking certain business opportunities that might arise pending completion of the merger.

 

   

Interests of Vivint Smart Home executive officers and directors. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered the fact that certain executive officers and directors of Vivint Smart Home have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Vivint Smart Home stockholders generally, including the manner in which they would be affected by the merger, and the other matters disclosed in the section titled “The Merger—Interests of Vivint Smart Home Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 252 of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

 

   

Other risks. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered various other risks associated with the combined organization and the merger, including the risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors”.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes the material factors considered by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors. In reaching its decision to adopt and approve, and declare advisable, the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors considered all these factors as a whole, including discussions with, and questioning of, Vivint Smart Home’s management and financial and legal advisors, and, overall, considered these factors to be favorable to, and to support, its determination.

The Vivint Smart Home board of directors concluded that the potentially negative factors associated with the merger were outweighed by the potential benefits that it expected Vivint Smart Home stockholders would

receive as a result of the merger, including the belief of the Vivint Smart Home board of directors that the merger would maximize the immediate value of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock and eliminate the risk and uncertainty affecting the future prospects of Vivint Smart Home, including the potential execution risks associated with an initial public offering of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock and pursuing its business plan as a public company. Accordingly, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors determined that the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Vivint Smart Home and its stockholders, and adopted and approved, and declared advisable, the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The Vivint Smart Home board of directors recommends that Vivint Smart Home stockholders consent to the Vivint Merger Proposal and the Vivint Charter Amendment Proposals.

Recommendation of the Mosaic Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger

Mosaic’s board of directors, in evaluating the merger, consulted with Mosaic’s management and financial and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and in the best interests of Mosaic and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that the stockholders adopt the merger agreement and approve the business combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, Mosaic’s board of directors considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger, Mosaic’s board of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. Mosaic’s board of directors viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Mosaic’s reasons for the merger and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements”.

In approving the merger, Mosaic’s board of directors determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of Mosaic have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background, together with experience and sector expertise of Mosaic’s financial advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the merger. In additional, Mosaic’s officers and directors and Mosaic’s advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.

Mosaic’s board of directors considered a number of factors pertaining to the merger as generally supporting its decision to enter into the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

 

   

Growth Prospects. Vivint Smart Home is a market leader in an attractive and growing industry with an already successful business and with strong growth prospects within the home technology services sector and adjacent markets;

 

   

Stockholder Liquidity. The obligation in the merger agreement to have Mosaic Class A common stock issued as merger consideration listed on the NYSE, a major U.S. stock exchange, which Mosaic’s board of directors believes has the potential to offer stockholders greater liquidity;

 

   

Recurring Revenue Model. Vivint Smart Home has a highly attractive smart-home-as-a-service business model yielding differentiated growth and margin expansion, with subscription and recurring revenues representing approximately 95% of the total revenue base;

Financial Condition. Mosaic’s board of directors also considered factors such as Vivint Smart Home’s historical financial results, outlook, financial plan and debt structure, as well as the financial profiles of publicly traded companies in the home technology services sector and adjacent markets and certain relevant information with respect to companies that had been acquisition targets or received equity financings in transactions similar to the merger. In considering these factors, Mosaic’s board of directors reviewed Vivint Smart Home’s recent growth in certain key financial metrics (including certain subscriber and revenue metrics), the current prospects for growth if Vivint Smart Home achieved its business plans and various historical and current balance sheet items for Vivint Smart Home. In reviewing these factors, Mosaic’s board of directors noted that Vivint Smart Home was well-positioned in its industry for strong future growth;

 

   

Experienced and Proven Management Team. Vivint Smart Home has a strong management team and the senior management of Vivint Smart Home (including the founders of Vivint Smart Home) intend to remain with New Vivint in the capacity of officers and/or directors, which will provide helpful continuity in advancing Vivint Smart Home’s strategic and growth goals;

 

   

Lock-Up. The founders of Vivint Smart Home have agreed to be subject to a 2 year lockup in respect of their New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, Blackstone has agreed to be subject to a 1 year lockup in respect of its newly subscribed for shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and a 6 month lockup in respect of its shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock received in the merger in exchange for its currently held shares of Vivint Smart Home, Fortress and certain senior management of Vivint Smart Home have agreed to a 1 year lockup in respect of all of their respective shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and the Additional Forward Purchaser agreed to a 6 month lockup in respect of its New Vivint Parent Class A common stock issued pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions, which will provide important stability to the leadership and governance of New Vivint;

 

   

Other Alternatives. Mosaic’s board of directors believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Mosaic, that the proposed merger represents the best potential business combination for Mosaic and the most attractive opportunity for Mosaic’s management to accelerate its business plan based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and Mosaic’s board of directors’ belief that such process has not presented a better alternative; and

 

   

Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms of the merger agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home.

Mosaic’s board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risk and other potentially negative factors concerning the merger including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on the combined company’s revenues;

 

   

Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Mosaic stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the merger and pursuant to Mosaic’s existing charter, which would potentially make the merger more difficult or impossible to complete;

 

   

Stockholder Vote. The risk that Mosaic’s stockholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the merger;

 

   

Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the merger is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Mosaic’s control;

 

249


Table of Contents
   

Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the merger or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the merger;

 

   

Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Vivint Smart Home, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which Mosaic will be subject as a publicly traded company on the NYSE;

 

   

Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risks that the potential benefits of the merger may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

 

   

Liquidation of Mosaic. The risks and costs to Mosaic if the merger is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Mosaic being unable to effect a business combination by January 23, 2020;

 

   

Costs Savings and Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved. The risk that the cost savings and growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

 

   

No Third-Party Valuation. The risk that Mosaic did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the merger;

 

   

The Rights of Blackstone Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement. The risks relating to the rights granted to Blackstone affiliates pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, including such holders’ right to designate up to 50% of the board of directors following the closing;

 

   

Mosaic Stockholders Receiving a Minority Position in Vivint Smart Home. The risk that Mosaic stockholders will hold a minority position in Vivint Smart Home; and

 

   

Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the merger.

In addition to considering the factors described above, Mosaic’s board of directors also considered other factors including, without limitation:

 

   

Interests of Certain Persons. Some officers and directors of Mosaic may have interests in the merger. (see “—Interests of Mosaic’s Directors and Officers in the Merger”)

 

   

Other Risks Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the business of Vivint Smart Home, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Mosaic’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected Mosaic and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the merger outweighed the potentially negative and other factors associated with the merger. Mosaic’s board of directors also noted that the Mosaic stockholders would have a substantial economic interest in the combined company (depending on the level of Mosaic stockholders that sought redemption of their public shares into cash). Accordingly, Mosaic’s board of directors unanimously determined that the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, were advisable and in the best interests of Mosaic and its stockholders.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

The NYSE rules require that Mosaic’s initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) at the time of Mosaic’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. As of September 15, 2019, the date of the execution of the merger agreement, the value of the net assets held in the Trust Account was approximately $342 million (excluding approximately $12 million of deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $274 million. In reaching its conclusion that the merger meets the 80% asset test, the Mosaic’s board of directors used as a fair market value the enterprise value of approximately $5.6

 

250


Table of Contents

billion, which was implied based on the terms of the transactions agreed to by the parties in negotiating the merger agreement. The enterprise value consists of a implied equity value of approximately $3.1 billion and approximately $2.5 billion of net debt. In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of Vivint Smart Home, Mosaic’s board of directors considered all of the factors described in this section and the section of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement” and the fact that the purchase price for Vivint Smart Home was the result of an arm’s length negotiation. As a result, the Mosaic’s board of directors concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was significantly in excess of 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account).

Interests of Mosaic’s Directors and Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Mosaic to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals and the other proposals, stockholders should keep in mind that certain members of the board of directors and executive officers of Mosaic and the Sponsors, including their directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Mosaic stockholders generally. In particular:

 

   

If the merger or another business combination is not consummated by January 23, 2020, Mosaic will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 8,625,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsors and Eugene I. Davis, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Mosaic’s IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $88,233,750 based upon the closing price of $10.23 per share on the NYSE on November 19, 2019, the Mosaic record date.

 

   

The Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 5,933,334 private placement warrants from Mosaic for an aggregate purchase price of $8,900,000 (or $1.50 per warrant). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of Mosaic’s IPO. A portion of the proceeds Mosaic received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such warrants had an estimated aggregate value of $4,984,000 based on the closing price of $0.84 per public warrant on the NYSE on November 19, 2019, the Mosaic record date. The private placement warrants will become worthless if Mosaic does not consummate a business combination by January 23, 2020.

 

   

David M. Maura will be a member of the board of directors of New Vivint Parent after the closing of the merger. As such, in the future Mr. Maura will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Vivint Parent board of directors determines to pay to its non-executive directors.

 

   

Pursuant to the terms of his services agreement, William H. Mitchell will be entitled to a deferred cash payment upon the closing of the merger equal to $330.00 multiplied by the number of hours Mr. Mitchell has worked for Mosaic up to the date of the merger, less the total amount of the $5,000 monthly retainer already paid to CFO Bullpen LLC (a company wholly owned by Mr. Mitchell) through such date. In addition, Mosaic will issue Class A common stock to CFO Bullpen LLC upon the closing of the merger equal to 17.895 shares per hour Mr. Mitchell has worked for Mosaic up to the date of the merger, with such shares being delivered on the six-month anniversary of the closing of the merger.

 

   

If Mosaic is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, its executive officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Mosaic for services rendered or contracted for or products

sold to Mosaic. If Mosaic consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Mosaic will be liable for all such claims.

 

   

Mosaic’s officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Mosaic’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Mosaic fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Mosaic may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the merger or another business combination, are not completed by January 23, 2020.

 

   

The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Interests of Vivint Smart Home Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the Vivint Smart Home board of directors with respect to approving the merger agreement, the merger contemplated by the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by unanimous written consent, the stockholders of Vivint Smart Home should be aware that certain members of the board of directors and executive officers of Vivint Smart Home, as well as 313 Acquisition, have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder.

Certain of Vivint Smart Home’s executive officers hold Class A Units in 313 Acquisition. The treatment of such Class A Units held by executive officers is described in “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Company Group Equity Awards”, which description is incorporated herein by reference. Messrs. Pedersen, Dunn, and Santiago own 96,479,649, 5,282,259 and 1,500,000 Class A Units, respectively. Vivint Smart Home’s other executive officers, as a group, hold an aggregate of 675,000 Class A Units.

 

   

In connection with its entry into the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home has entered into a letter agreement with one of its executive officers. The letter agreement provides that the closing of the merger will constitute a “Public Offering” and the first anniversary of the closing date will constitute a “Transaction Event” for purposes of such executive officer’s employment agreement, the consequences of which will trigger a payment to such executive officer in an amount not to exceed $1,400,000 on the first anniversary of the closing date, subject to the executive officer’s continued employment through such date.

 

   

313 Acquisition holds approximately 92% of outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home stock and, accordingly, if the merger is consummated, will be entitled to approximately 82.1 million shares of Mosaic Class A common stock (prior to certain redemptions described in the merger agreement) and a contingent right to receive shares of Mosaic Class A common stock in earnout consideration as described in “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration—Earnout consideration”, which

 

253


Table of Contents
 

description is incorporated herein by reference. In addition 313 Acquisition (i) is a Stockholder Party under the Stockholders Agreement and, following the effective time, 313 Acquisition and its affiliates will have the right to designate a number of directors to the New Vivint Parent board of directors in accordance with their aggregate percentage holding of shares of New Vivint Parent common stock as described in “Other Agreements—Stockholders Agreement”, which description is incorporated herein by reference, (ii) is a party to the registration rights agreement, pursuant to which New Vivint Parent provides to 313 Acquisition an unlimited number of “demand” registration rights as described in “Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement”, which description is incorporated herein by reference and (iii) will be a Stockholder Party under Mosaic’s proposed charter to be adopted at the effective time, which would, among other things (x) permit 313 Acquisition to call a special meeting for any purpose and (y) require different voting standards depending on the aggregate percentage holding of all Stockholder Parties, as described in “—Proposals No. 2 Through No. 12—The Charter Proposals”, which described is incorporated herein by reference.

REGULATORY APPROVALS REQUIRED FOR THE MERGER

Completion of the merger is subject to regulatory approval under the HSR Act. Mosaic has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals and Vivint Smart Home has agreed to request early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act. We received early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act on October 4, 2019.

HSR Act

Under the HSR Act, and related rules, the transactions may not be completed until notifications have been filed with and certain information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) and the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and all statutory waiting period requirements have been satisfied. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home filed Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC on September 27, 2019 and received early termination of the HSR waiting period on October 4, 2019.

At any time before or after the completion of the merger, the Antitrust Division or the FTC could take action under the U.S. antitrust laws, including seeking to prevent the merger, to rescind the merger or to clear the merger subject to the divestiture of assets of Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home or subject the transactions to other remedies. In addition, U.S. state attorneys general could take action under the antitrust laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest including without limitation seeking to enjoin the completion of the transactions or permitting completion subject to the divestiture of assets of Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home or other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under some circumstances. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the transactions on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if such challenge is made, that it would not be successful.

There can be no assurances that the regulatory approvals discussed above will be received on a timely basis, or as to the ability of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home to obtain the approvals on satisfactory terms or the absence of litigation challenging such approvals.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

The merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Mosaic will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and the business combination will be treated as the equivalent of Vivint Smart Home issuing stock for the net assets of Mosaic, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Mosaic will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Vivint Smart Home has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s existing shareholders will have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity under the no and maximum redemption scenarios with approximately 50% and 61% voting interest, respectively;

 

   

The largest individual minority stockholder of the combined entity is an existing shareholder of Vivint Smart Home;

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s directors will represent the majority of the New Vivint Parent board of directors;

 

   

Vivint Smart Home’s senior management will be the senior management of New Vivint; and

 

   

Vivint Smart Home is the larger entity based on historical total assets and revenues

The preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that Vivint Smart Home is the accounting acquirer in the merger.

in “at the market offerings” to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, or a securities exchange or otherwise;

 

   

in privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

for settlement of short calls, or through long sales, options or hedging transactions involving cross or block trades;

 

   

by pledge to secure debts and other obligations;

 

   

a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell as agent, but may position or resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

   

through agents;

 

   

to or through underwriters or dealers;

 

   

directly to purchasers; or

 

   

through a combination of any of these methods of sale or by any other legally available means.

The selling stockholders may sell their shares of Mosaic Class A common stock either:

 

   

at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

 

   

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including in “at the market offerings”;

 

   

at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or

 

   

at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders, and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may offer their shares of Mosaic Class A common stock in one or more offerings, and if required by applicable law or in connection with an underwritten offering, pursuant to one or more prospectus supplements, and any such prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the relevant offering. To the extent any securities offered by a selling stockholder pursuant to a prospectus supplement remain unsold, the selling stockholder may offer those securities on different terms pursuant to another prospectus supplement. Sales by the selling stockholders may not require the provision of a prospectus supplement.

Each of the selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Mosaic Class A common stock that the selling stockholder owns in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act provided the selling stockholder meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.

Mosaic will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Mosaic Class A common stock by selling stockholders.

Underwriting Compensation

Any public offering price and any fees, discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting compensation allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms may be changed

 

259


Table of Contents

from time to time. Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms that participate in the distribution of the offered securities may be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions they receive from the selling stockholders and any profits they receive on the resale of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders will identify any underwriters, agents or dealers and describe their fees, commissions or discounts in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. Underwriters in the public offerings by the selling stockholders may include advisors, lenders or underwriters to Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home, or their affiliates.

Indemnification; Other Relationships

The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and to make contribution to them in connection with those liabilities. Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms, and their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for us, and our affiliates, in the ordinary course of business, including commercial banking transactions and services.

Lockup Agreements.

Pursuant to Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements (as defined below under “Other Agreements—Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements”), certain stockholders have agreed that they will not, during the Lock-Up Period (as defined below) directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of New Vivint Parent common stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of New Vivint Parent common stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of New Vivint Parent common stock, or any interest in any of the foregoing (in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements). The Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements will become effective upon the consummation of the merger. For more information see Other Agreements—Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements.

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

Any underwriters to whom the selling stockholders sell securities for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.

To facilitate the offering of the securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than the selling stockholders sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover the over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

This section describes the material terms of the merger agreement as amended by the merger agreement amendment. The description in this section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A-I to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, and the merger agreement amendment, a copy of which is attached as Annex A-II to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment that is important to you. You are encouraged to read the merger agreement and the merger agreement amendment carefully and in their entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the “merger agreement” shall be read to give effect to the merger agreement amendment. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Effects of the Merger

As a result of the merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Vivint Smart Home with Vivint Smart Home surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic. The certificate of incorporation set forth as exhibit C to the merger agreement and the bylaws of Vivint Smart Home as in effect immediately prior to the merger will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (respectively) of the surviving company.

Merger Consideration

Conversion of Shares. Each share of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock) will be converted into a number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock in accordance with the certificate of designation of the Vivint Smart Home preferred stock.

Each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock (including the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock resulting from the conversion of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock described above) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock or dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the exchange ratio. We refer to the shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued upon conversion of a share of Vivint Smart Home common stock pursuant to the merger agreement as the “merger consideration”.

No fractional shares of Mosaic Class A common stock will be issued. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional shares, Mosaic has agreed to pay to each former holder of Vivint Smart Home common stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash, without interest, rounded down to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (i) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Mosaic Class A common stock to which such holder otherwise would have been entitled multiplied by (ii) an amount equal to the VWAP of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the date that is 3 business days prior to the closing.

Earnout consideration. After the consummation of the merger, holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the merger and holders of outstanding Rollover Restricted Stock immediately following the merger will have the contingent right to receive earnout shares and holders of Rollover Equity Awards (other than Rollover Restricted Stock) immediately following the merger will be entitled to an increase in the value of their awards if, from the c`onsummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds. The first issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A

 

261


Table of Contents

common stock exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The second issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The third issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds $17.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The price targets and the number of earnout shares issued shall be equitably adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event affecting New Vivint Parent Class A common stock. If such targets are achieved, such holders will receive, in aggregate, 12,500,000 New Vivint Parent Class A common stock on the achievement of each target (or in the case of holders of Rollover Equity Awards, an equivalent increase in value of such awards) based on their proportional holding of such stock or awards immediately prior to the merger.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

Unless the parties otherwise mutually agree, the closing of the merger (the “closing”) will take place on the date which is three business days after the date on which all of the closing conditions have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing of the merger) (such date, the “closing date”). See “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 280 for a more complete description of the conditions that must be satisfied prior to closing.

On the closing date, Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home will effect the merger by filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the merger will become effective at the time the certificate of merger has been duly filed. The time at which the merger becomes effective is sometimes referred to in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus as the “effective time”.

As of the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the parties expect that the merger will be effective during the first quarter of 2020. However, there can be no assurance as to when or if the merger will occur.

If the merger is not completed by January 22, 2020 or if Mosaic has obtained stockholder approval for an extension to the deadline by which it must complete its first business combination and amended its organizational documents accordingly, April 23, 2020 (the “termination date”), the merger agreement may be terminated by either Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home. A party may not terminate the merger agreement pursuant to the provision described in this paragraph if the failure of the closing to occur by the termination date is due primarily to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement to fulfil any obligations of such party set forth in the merger agreement. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination” beginning on page 281.

Treatment of Company Group Equity Awards

Vesting/Distribution Modifications. As of immediately prior to the effective time, 313 Acquisition and Vivint Smart Home will take all actions necessary to modify the vesting schedule for the 2.0x Company Group Equity Awards in accordance with the 2.0x Modification and the distribution schedule of the MOIC LTIP Shares in accordance with the LTIP Modification.

Vested Company Group Class B Units. As of immediately prior to the effective time, each vested Company Group Class B Unit (other than those held by the Holdback Executives) will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Unit so redeemed, in a manner determined by the 313 Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, assuming a hypothetical liquidation of 313 Acquisition. The number of shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock issued with respect to each vested Company Group Class B Unit in such redemptions shall be determined on a pro rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock held by 313 Acquisition as of the effective time. Holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock received in such redemptions will be entitled to receive the merger consideration in accordance with the merger agreement as described above.

As of immediately prior to the effective time, each unvested Company Group Class B Unit (other than those held by the Holdback Executives) will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for a number of shares of Company Restricted Stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Units so redeemed, in a manner determined by the 313 Board in accordance with the terms of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, assuming a hypothetical liquidation of 313 Acquisition. Such shares of Company Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units, as modified pursuant to the 2.0x Modification. As of the effective time, each such share of Company Restricted Stock will automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a number of shares of Rollover Restricted Stock equal to the exchange ratio rounded to the nearest whole share of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock.

Company Group RSUs. As of the effective time, each Company Group RSU, to the extent then outstanding and unsettled, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, will automatically be cancelled and converted into and thereafter evidence a Rollover RSU entitling the holder thereof to receive upon settlement a number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to such Company Group RSU as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock.

Company Group SARs. As of the effective time, each Company Group SAR, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, will automatically be cancelled and converted into and thereafter evidence a Rollover SAR with respect to a number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to such Company Group SAR as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, with a strike price per share of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share strike price of such Company Group SAR as of immediately prior to the effective time by (ii) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Company Group LTIP Plans. As of the effective time, New Vivint Parent will assume the Company Group LTIP Plans, including any liabilities and obligations associated therewith and make adjustments such that awards under the Company Group LTIP Plans will be settled in a number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock with a fair market value equal to a number of hypothetical Rollover SARs with respect to (a) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to the hypothetical Company Group SARs underlying such Company Group LTIP Plan as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (b) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock, with a strike price per share of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share strike price of such hypothetical Company Group SARs as of immediately prior to the effective time by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent as if the consummation of the merger constituted an event similar to a “Public Offering” for purposes of the Company Group LTIP Plans.

Rollover Equity Awards. Any shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock issuable under Rollover Equity Awards, other than the awards granted under the Rollover LTIP Plans or held by the Holdback Executives, will be subject to restrictions on transfer until the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, unless otherwise agreed to by Vivint Smart Home and the applicable holder. Following the effective time, each Rollover Equity Award will be subject to the 2020 Omnibus Plan and to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, any vesting conditions (as modified by the 2.0x Modification or the LTIP Modification, as applicable), as had applied to the corresponding Company Group Equity Award as of immediately prior to the effective time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the merger, subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the New Vivint Parent Board to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the merger. After the consummation of the merger, holders of outstanding Rollover Equity Awards will have the contingent right to receive earnout shares if, from the

consummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds as described below.

Treatment of Holdback Executives. As of immediately prior to the effective time, the Company Group Class B Units, whether or not vested, held by the Holdback Executives will be converted into a number of Converted Class A Units, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, with an equivalent value and subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified pursuant to the 2.0x Modification). As of immediately following the effective time, the Converted Class A Units held by the Holdback Executives (in addition to any other Class A Units held by the Holdback Executive) will be automatically reclassified into a number of vested and unvested tracking units. The number of each class of tracking unit to be issued to the Holdback Executives will be determined on a pro rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock and other property held by 313 Acquisition as of immediately following the effective time. On the six-month anniversary of the day following the closing date of the merger, upon request of the Additional Holdback Holder, any then-vested tracking units held by the Additional Holdback Holder (other than other property tracking units), less any amounts previously sold by, or distributed to, the Additional Holdback Holder in connection with sales of shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock by 313 Acquisition, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. On the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, 10% of any then-vested tracking units held by the Vivint Holdback Executives (other than other property tracking units), less any amounts previously sold by, or distributed to, Vivint Holdback Executive in connection with sales of shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock by 313 Acquisition, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. Following the second anniversary of the closing date of the merger, upon written request to 313 Acquisition by a Vivint Holdback Executive, 313 Acquisition will promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested tracking units (other than other property tracking units) held by the Vivint Holdback Executives for the shares of VSLR common stock, New Vivint Parent Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. 313 Acquisition will have no obligation to redeem any other property tracking units at any time and may redeem such tracking units, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. No unvested tracking units held by the Holdback Executives will be redeemed until they become vested.

Vivint Smart Home common stock. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Vivint Smart Home common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Vivint Smart Home as treasury stock or dissenting shares) will convert into the right to receive 84.5320916792 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock (such number of shares, the “exchange ratio”), except for any fractional shares of Mosaic Class A common stock which would result (which will instead be paid out in cash in accordance with the merger agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on a date for which the Mosaic Special Meeting is scheduled, Mosaic has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Mosaic common stock to obtain the stockholder approvals of the proposals contained in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, whether or not a quorum is present, Mosaic shall have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Mosaic Special Meeting.

If the company approval is obtained, then promptly following the receipt of the required written consents, Vivint Smart Home has agreed to prepare and deliver to its stockholders who have not consented the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL. Unless the merger agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, Vivint Smart Home’s obligation to solicit written consents from the Vivint Smart Home stockholders to give the company approval in accordance with the obligations described in this paragraph shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any acquisition proposal or superior proposal (as such terms are described under the heading “—No Solicitation”), or by any company change of recommendation.

parties to the merger agreement and their respective representatives) that has prior to the date of the merger agreement executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring Vivint Smart Home (and with whom Vivint Smart Home has had contact in 12 months prior to the date of the merger agreement regarding the acquisition of Vivint Smart Home) to return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such person or entity by or on behalf of it or any of its subsidiaries prior to the date of the merger agreement and terminate access to any physical or electronic data room maintained by or on behalf of Vivint Smart Home or any of its subsidiaries.

Vivint Smart Home has agreed to promptly (and in any event within one business day) notify, in writing, Mosaic of the receipt of any inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information received after the date of the merger agreement that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, any acquisition proposal, which notice shall include a summary of the material terms of, and the identity of the person or entity or group of persons and/or entities making, such inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information and an unredacted copy of any acquisition proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer made in writing or, if not in writing, a written description of the material terms and conditions of such inquiry, proposal or offer (and shall include any other documents evidencing or specifying the terms of such proposal, offer, inquiry or request).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home may grant a waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality or standstill agreement to the extent necessary to allow for a confidential bona fide written acquisition proposal (which acquisition proposal was made after the date of the merger agreement and did not result from a material breach of the no solicitation provisions) to be made to Vivint Smart Home or the Vivint Smart Home board of directors so long as Vivint Smart Home promptly (and in any event within one business day thereafter) notifies Mosaic thereof (including the identity of such counterparty) after granting any such waiver, amendment or release and the Vivint Smart Home board of directors determines prior to the grant of such waiver, amendment or release in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to Vivint Smart Home, that the failure of the Vivint Smart Home board of directors to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

prior to obtaining the company approval, making a company change in recommendation (only to the extent permitted by the no solicitation provisions); or

 

   

resolving, authorizing, committing or agreeing to take any of the foregoing actions, only to the extent such actions would be permitted by the foregoing bullet points.

Notwithstanding anything in the no solicitation provisions to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the company approval, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel, in response to a bona fide written acquisition proposal that did not result from a material breach of the no solicitation provisions, that (i) such proposal constitutes a superior proposal (as defined below) and (ii) the failure to take the actions specified in clause (A) or (B) of this paragraph would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, Vivint Smart Home or the Vivint Smart Home board of directors may, prior to obtaining the company approval, (A) make a company change in recommendation or (B) terminate the merger agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such superior proposal; provided that Vivint Smart Home pays to Mosaic the Company Termination Payment (as described under the heading “—Termination; Company Termination Fee”) at or prior to the time of such termination (it being agreed that such termination shall not be effective unless such fee is so paid); provided further that Vivint Smart Home will not be entitled to make a company change in recommendation or terminate the merger agreement unless (x) Vivint Smart Home delivers to Mosaic a written notice (a “Company Notice”) advising Mosaic that the Vivint Smart Home board of directors proposes to take such action and containing the material terms and conditions of the superior proposal that is the basis of the proposed action of the Vivint Smart Home board of directors, and (y) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth business day immediately following the day on which Vivint Smart Home delivered the Company Notice (such period from the time the Company Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth business day immediately following the day on which the Company delivered the Company Notice (it being understood that any material revision, amendment, update or supplement to the terms and conditions of such superior proposal shall be deemed to constitute a new superior proposal and shall require a new notice but with an additional four business day (instead of five business day) period from the date of such notice), the “Notice Period”), the Vivint Smart Home board of directors reaffirms in good faith (1) after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor(s) that such acquisition proposal continues to constitute a superior proposal if the adjustments to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement proposed by Mosaic (if any) were to be given effect and (2) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a company change in recommendation or so terminate would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

If requested by Mosaic, Vivint Smart Home has agreed to, and will cause its subsidiaries to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their representatives to, during the Notice Period, engage in good faith

negotiations with Mosaic and its representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement so that such acquisition proposal would cease to constitute a superior proposal.

Notwithstanding anything in the no solicitation provisions or the obligations on Vivint Smart Home described under the heading “—Proxy Solicitation” above to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the company approval, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors determines in good faith, in response to an intervening event, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a company change in recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Vivint Smart Home board of directors may, prior to obtaining the company approval, make a company change in recommendation; provided that the Vivint Smart Home board of directors will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a company change in recommendation unless (i) Vivint Smart Home delivers to Mosaic a written notice (an “Intervening Event Notice”) advising Mosaic that the Vivint Smart Home board of directors proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Vivint Smart Home board of directors’ determination that an intervening event has occurred, and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth business day immediately following the day on which Vivint Smart Home delivered the Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth business day immediately following the day on which Vivint Smart Home delivered the Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to an intervening event shall require a new notice but with an additional four business day (instead of five business day) period from the date of such notice), the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), the Vivint Smart Home board of directors reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a company change in recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

If requested by Mosaic, Vivint Smart Home has agreed to, and will cause its subsidiaries to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with Mosaic and its representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement so as to obviate the need for a company change in recommendation.

counsel and financial advisor(s)) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable from a financial point of view to the stockholders of Vivint Smart Home (solely in their capacity as such) than the transactions contemplated hereby after taking into account all such factors and matters deemed relevant in good faith by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors, including legal, financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory, timing or other aspects of such proposal and the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including any offer by Mosaic to amend the terms of the merger agreement, termination or break-up fee and conditions to consummation); provided that for purposes of the definition of “superior proposal”, the term “acquisition proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term summarized above, except that the references to “20%” in such definition shall be deemed to be references to “80%”.

 

   

“intervening event” means an event, fact, development, circumstance or occurrence (but specifically excluding any acquisition proposal or superior proposal) that materially affects the business, assets, operations or prospects of Vivint Smart Home and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that was not known and was not reasonably foreseeable to Vivint Smart Home or the Vivint Smart Home board of directors as of the date of the merger agreement (or the consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable to the Vivint Smart Home board of directors as of the date of the merger agreement), and that becomes known to Vivint Smart Home or the Vivint Smart Home board of directors after the date of the merger agreement.

Mosaic Exclusivity. Through the closing or earlier valid termination of the merger agreement, to the extent not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Mosaic board of directors, Mosaic has agreed not take, nor permit any of its affiliates or representatives to take, whether directly or indirectly, any action to solicit, initiate, continue or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or enter into any agreement with, or encourage, respond, provide information to or commence due diligence with respect to, any person or entity (other than Vivint Smart Home, its stockholders and/or any of their affiliates or representatives), concerning, relating to or which is intended or is reasonably likely to give rise to or result in, any offer, inquiry, proposal or indication of interest, written or oral relating to any business combination other than with Vivint Smart Home, its stockholders and their respective affiliates and representatives. Mosaic has agreed to, and cause its affiliates and representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person or entity conducted prior to the date of the merger agreement with respect to, or which is reasonably likely to give rise to or result in, a proposal for a business combination.

The NYSE Listing. Through the closing, Mosaic has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to ensure Mosaic remains listed as a public company on, and for shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to be listed on, the NYSE. Mosaic has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the merger (including the Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to payment of the earnout consideration) to be approved for listing on the NYSE as promptly as practicable following the issuance thereof, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the closing date.

Indemnification and Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. From and after the effective time of the merger, Mosaic and the Vivint Smart Home have agreed that they shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of Vivint Smart Home and each of its subsidiaries against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the effective time, to the fullest extent that Vivint Smart Home or its subsidiaries, as the case may be, would have been permitted under applicable law and its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents in effect on the date of the merger agreement to indemnify such person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law). Without limiting the foregoing, Mosaic has agreed to, and agreed to cause Vivint Smart Home and its subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less

For a period of six years from the effective time, Mosaic has agreed to, or cause one or more of its subsidiaries to, maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by Mosaic’s or its subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall Mosaic or its subsidiaries be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by Vivint Smart Home and its subsidiaries for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2018; provided, however, that (i) Mosaic may cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time, and (ii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under the obligations described in this paragraph shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

Financing. Mosaic and Merger Sub have agreed to take, or cause to be taken, as promptly as practicable after the execution of the merger agreement, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary (including enforcing its rights under the forward purchase agreements and the Blackstone Subscription Agreements, the Fortress Subscription Agreement, the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement and the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement (collectively, the “subscription agreements”)), on or prior to the closing date, to consummate (x) the financing contemplated by the forward purchase agreements on the terms and conditions described or contemplated therein and (y) the purchases contemplated by the subscription agreements on the terms and conditions described or contemplated therein.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Mosaic Letter Agreement

In connection with Mosaic’s IPO, the Sponsors and Mosaic’s officers and directors (collectively, the “Letter Agreement Parties”) entered into a letter agreement with Mosaic, pursuant to which they have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree) to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after Mosaic’s IPO in favor of a proposed initial business combination. In addition, the Letter Agreement Parties agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of an initial business combination or any other tender offer made by Mosaic to purchase Mosaic common stock and (ii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if Mosaic fails to complete an initial business combination within the time period prescribed by its existing charter.

The Letter Agreement Parties also agreed that they will not propose any amendment to Mosaic’s existing charter that would affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete an initial business combination within the time period prescribed in its existing charter, unless Mosaic provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Mosaic to fund its working capital requirements and/or to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.

The Mosaic letter agreement also provides that (i) the Founder Shares (and any shares of Mosaic common stock issuable upon conversion thereof) held by the Letter Agreement Parties shall be subject to a one-year lock-up restriction following an initial business combination (subject to certain exceptions) and (ii) the private placement warrants (and any shares of Mosaic common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of such warrants) held by the Letter Agreement Parties shall be subject to a 30-day lock-up restriction following an initial business combination.

Sponsor Agreement

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, the Sponsors and Eugene I. Davis (collectively, the “Sponsor Agreement Parties”) entered into a Sponsor Agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”) with Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home that amended and restated the Mosaic letter agreement in its entirety with respect to Sponsor Agreement Parties, pursuant to which the Sponsor Agreement Parties have agreed to vote all shares of Mosaic common stock beneficially owned by such persons in favor of each of the proposals at the Mosaic Special Meeting, to use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and to not take any action that would reasonable be expected to materially delay or prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the merger set forth in the merger agreement.

The Sponsor Agreement provides that the Sponsor Agreement Parties will not redeem any shares of Mosaic common stock owned such persons in connection with the merger and will take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Mosaic, Vivint Smart Home or any of their respective successors and assigns relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Sponsor Agreement, the merger agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in such agreements.

The Sponsor Agreement Parties also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer any Founder Shares (or any shares of Mosaic common stock issuable upon conversion thereof) or any private placement warrants (or any shares of Mosaic common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year

Table of Contents

after the completion of the merger, (B) subsequent to the merger, if the last sale price of Mosaic common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (ad adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the merger or (C) the date following the completion of the merger on which Mosaic completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or similar transaction that results in all of Mosaic’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Mosaic common stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Mosaic Sponsor Lock-up Period”).

The Sponsor Agreement also provides that all the Founder Shares (and any shares of Mosaic common stock issuable upon conversion thereof) and private placement warrants held by each Sponsor Agreement Party as of the closing of the merger shall be unvested and shall be subject to certain time and performance-based vesting provisions described below. The Sponsor Agreement Parties have agreed not to transfer any unvested Founder Shares or private placement warrants prior to the date such securities become vested.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, 50% of the unvested Founder Shares shall vest at the closing of the merger. 25% of the unvested Founder Shares shall vest at such time as a $12.50 Stock Price Level (as defined below) is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. The remaining 25% of unvested Founder Shares shall vest at such time as a $15.00 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. 50% of the unvested private placement warrants shall vest at such time as a $12.50 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. The remaining 50% of the unvested private placement warrants shall vest at such time as a $15.00 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger.

In the event Mosaic entered into a binding agreement on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger related to certain sale transactions involving the shares of Mosaic common stock or all or substantially all the assets of Mosaic (a “Mosaic Sale”), all unvested Founder Shares and unvested private placement warrants shall vest on the day prior to the closing of such Mosaic Sale if the per share price implied in such Mosaic Sale meets or exceeds the applicable Stock Price Level.

Any Founder Shares or private placement warrants that remain unvested after the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger shall be forfeited. The applicable “Stock Price Level” will be considered achieved only (a) when the volume weighted average price of Mosaic common stock on the New York Stock Exchange is greater than or equal to the applicable threshold for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period or (b) the per share price implied a Mosaic Sale is greater than or equal to the applicable threshold.

The Sponsor Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the consummation of a Mosaic Sale and (b) the later of (i) the earlier of (x) the achievement of a $15.00 Stock Price Level on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger and (y) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger and (ii) the expiration of the Mosaic Sponsor Lock-up Period. In the event of a valid termination of the merger agreement, the Sponsor Agreement shall be of no force and effect and shall revert to the Mosaic letter agreement.

Vivint Smart Home Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, 313 Acquisition entered into the Vivint Smart Home support agreement with Mosaic. Under the Vivint Smart Home support agreement, 313 Acquisition agreed, promptly following the SEC declaring this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus effective, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock held by 313 Acquisition adopting the merger agreement and approving the merger, unless the merger is no longer recommended by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the merger agreement, in which case, 313 Acquisition would vote 35% of the shares of Vivint Smart Home stock approving the merger and is entitled, in its sole discretion, to vote its remaining shares in any manner. The shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition and subject to the Vivint Smart Home support agreement represent approximately 92% of the outstanding voting power of

Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock (on an as converted basis). In addition, the Vivint Smart Home support agreement prohibits 313 Acquisition from engaging in activities that have the effect of soliciting a competing acquisition proposal.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, the Fortress Subscribers and the Blackstone Subscribers entered into the Fortress Subscription Agreement and the Blackstone Subscription Agreements, respectively, pursuant to which each of the Fortress Subscribers and the Blackstone Subscribers have respectively subscribed for 12,500,000 and 10,000,000 newly-issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock to be issued at the closing of the merger. The obligations to consummate the subscriptions contemplated by the Fortress Subscription Agreement and the Blackstone Subscription Agreements are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Additionally, in connection with the execution of the merger agreement amendment, the Fortress Subscribers entered into the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement, pursuant to which the Fortress Subscribers committed to purchase up to $50,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock as follows: the Fortress Subscribers (i) intend to purchase up to $50,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock in the open market, (ii) agreed to backstop redemptions by subscribing for a number of shares of newly-issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at a purchase price per share equal to the Trust Value to be issued at the closing of the merger with an aggregate value equal to the lesser of (x) $50,000,000 (less the aggregate purchase price of the shares purchased by it in the open market) and (y) the aggregate value of the number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock that elect to redeem in the redemption offer (based on the Trust Value) and (iii) agreed to subscribe for up to $50,000,000 (less the aggregate purchase price of the shares purchased by it in the open market and to backstop redemptions) in aggregate purchase price of newly-issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at $10.00 per share to be issued at the election of Vivint Smart Home at the closing of the merger. The obligations to consummate the subscriptions contemplated by the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement amendment, Mosaic has also entered into the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement with the Additional Forward Purchaser, one of the forward purchasers that had committed at the time of Mosaic’s initial public offering to purchase newly-issued shares of Mosaic Class A common stock upon the consummation of a business combination, which includes the merger. Pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Mosaic will sell, and the Additional Forward Purchaser will purchase from Mosaic, 5,000,000 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at $10.00 per share. As consideration for the additional investment, 25% of Mosaic Sponsor LLC’s shares of Mosaic Class F common stock and private placement warrants will be forfeited to Mosaic and Mosaic will issue to the Additional Forward Purchaser an equal number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock and warrants concurrently with the consummation of the merger. The obligation to consummate the Additional Forward Purchaser Investment contemplated by the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Stockholders Agreement

Under the Stockholders Agreement New Vivint Parent agreed to nominate a number of individuals designated by Blackstone for election as its directors at any meeting of its stockholders (each a “Blackstone Director”) such that, following the election of any directors and taking into account any director continuing to serve as such without the need for re-election, the number of Blackstone Directors serving as directors of New Vivint Parent will be equal to: (1) if the 313 Acquisition, Blackstone and their affiliates (the “313 Acquisition Entities”) together continue to beneficially own at least 50% of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is greater than 50% of the total number of directors comprising New Vivint Parent’s board of directors; (2) if the 313 Acquisition Entities together continue to beneficially own at least 40% (but not more than 50%) of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 40% of the total number of directors comprising New Vivint Parent’s board of directors; (3) if the 313 Acquisition Entities together continue to beneficially own at least 30% (but less than 40%) of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 30% of the total number of directors comprising New Vivint Parent’s board of directors; (4) if the 313 Acquisition Entities together continue to beneficially own at least 20% (but less than 30%) of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 20% of the total number of directors comprising New Vivint Parent’s board of directors; and (5) if the 313 Acquisition Entities together continue to beneficially own at least 5% (but less than 20%) of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 10% of the total number of directors comprising New Vivint Parent’s board of directors.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, New Vivint Parent agreed to nominate one director designated by Fortress (the “Fortress Director”) to New Vivint Parent’s board of directors so long as Fortress beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock it owns immediately following the consummation of the merger; provided that the Fortress Director must be an employee or principal of The SoftBank Vision Fund. Additionally, so long as Fortress beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock it owns immediately following the consummation of the merger, Fortress shall have the right to appoint a representative (the “Fortress Observer”) who will have the right to attend meetings of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and receive information given to New Vivint Parent’s directors, subject to certain customary exceptions, including to preserve confidentiality obligations or privilege. The Fortress Observer will not have any voting rights.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, New Vivint Parent agreed to nominate one director designated by the Summit Designator (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) (the “Summit Director” and together with the Blackstone Directors and the Fortress Director, the “Sponsor Directors”) to New Vivint Parent’s board of directors so long as the Summit Holders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) beneficially own at least 50% of the shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock they own immediately following the consummation of the merger.

The Additional Forward Purchaser Lockup Agreement will become effective upon the consummation of the merger.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, New Vivint entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors and certain other stockholders of New Vivint. The registration rights agreement will become effective upon the consummation of the merger. Under the registration rights agreement, New Vivint agreed to provide to Blackstone an unlimited number of “demand” registration rights and to provide to other Investors customary “piggyback” registration rights. The registration rights agreement also provides that New Vivint will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the registration rights holders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act.

Support and Services Agreement

In connection with the 2012 Blackstone Acquisition, 313 Acquisition and certain subsidiaries of Vivint Smart Home entered into a support and services agreement (the “Support and Services Agreement”) with Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”), an affiliate of Blackstone. Under the existing support and services agreement, Vivint Smart Home has agreed to reimburse BMP for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BMP and its affiliates and to indemnify BMP and its affiliates and related parties, in each case, in connection with the 2012 Blackstone Acquisition and the related transactions and the provision of services under the support and services agreement. In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, the parties to the support and services agreement entered into an amended and restated support and services agreement with BMP as described below.

Monitoring Services and Fees.

In addition, under the agreement, Vivint Smart Home engaged BMP to provide, directly or indirectly, monitoring, advisory and consulting services that may be requested by Vivint Smart Home in the following areas: (1) advice regarding the structure, distribution and timing of debt and equity offerings and advice regarding relationships with Vivint Smart Home’s lenders and bankers, (2) advice regarding the structuring and implementation of equity participation plans, employee benefit plans and other incentive arrangements for certain of Vivint Smart Home’s key executives, (3) general advice regarding dispositions and/or acquisitions, (4) advice regarding the strategic direction of Vivint Smart Home’s business and (5) such other advice directly related or ancillary to the above advisory services as may be reasonably requested by Vivint Smart Home. The existing agreement contemplated that these services would generally be provided until the first to occur of (a) the tenth

 

288


Table of Contents

anniversary of the closing date of the existing support and services agreement (November 16, 2022), (b) the date of a first underwritten public offering of shares of Vivint Smart Home’s common stock listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq’s national market system for aggregate proceeds of at least $150 million (a “Vivint IPO”) and (c) the date upon which Blackstone owns less than 9.9% of Vivint Smart Home’s common stock or that of Vivint Smart Home’s direct or indirect controlling parent and such stock has a fair market value (as determined by Blackstone) of less than $25 million (each of the events specified in clauses (a) through (c) above, the “Exit Date”).

The existing agreement provided that the monitoring fee payable for monitoring services in any fiscal year of Vivint Smart Home would be equal to the greater of (1) a minimum base fee of $2.7 million (the “Minimum Annual Fee”), subject to adjustment as summarized below if Vivint Smart Home engages in a business combination or disposition that is “significant” (as defined in the support and services agreement) and (2) the amount of the monitoring fee paid in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year, without regard to the post-fiscal year “true-up” adjustment described in the paragraph below (which will not yet have occurred at the time the annual monitoring fee is paid). We refer to the adjusted monitoring fee for any fiscal year of Vivint Smart Home following the merger as the “Monitoring Fee” for such fiscal year.

In the case of a significant business combination or disposition, if 1.5% of Vivint Smart Home’s pro forma consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the support and services agreement) after giving effect to the business combination or disposition exceeds (in the case of a business combination) or is less than (in the case of a disposition) the then-current Monitoring Fee, the Monitoring Fee for the year in which the significant business combination or disposition occurs will be adjusted upward or downward, respectively, by the amount of such excess or shortfall, with such adjustment prorated based on the remaining full or partial fiscal quarters remaining in Vivint Smart Home’s then-current fiscal year. Vivint Smart Home will pay upward adjustments to the Monitoring Fee promptly upon availability of the pro forma income statement prepared in respect of such business combination. Downward adjustments to the Monitoring Fee will be effected through a rebate of the fee paid to BMP in that fiscal year. Subsequently, the Minimum Annual Fee applicable to full fiscal years following any significant business combination or disposition will be equal to 1.5% of Vivint Smart Home’s pro forma consolidated EBITDA after giving effect to the business combination or disposition (subject to further adjustments for subsequent significant business combinations and dispositions). However, in all cases (including in the case of a current-year rebate described above), the Monitoring Fee will always be at least $2.7 million and in no event will a rebate for a downward adjustment result in BMP retaining a monitoring fee of less than $2.7 million for monitoring services in respect of any particular fiscal year.

In addition to the adjustments to the Minimum Annual Fee and the Monitoring Fee in connection with significant business combinations or dispositions and the related payments or rebates described above, there may be other adjustments to the Monitoring Fee based on projected consolidated EBITDA and a post-fiscal year “true-up”. If 1.5% of Vivint Smart Home’s projected consolidated EBITDA, as first presented to Vivint Smart Home’s board of directors by senior management during the last third of such fiscal year, is projected to exceed the amount of the monitoring fee previously paid to BMP in respect of monitoring services due to be rendered during that fiscal year, Vivint Smart Home will pay BMP the amount of such excess as an upward adjustment to the Monitoring Fee within two business days of such presentation. Following the completion of each applicable fiscal year and within deadlines required by Vivint Smart Home’s revolving credit facility, Vivint Smart Home’s chief financial officer will certify to BMP the amount of Vivint Smart Home’s consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal year. If 1.5% of such certified consolidated EBITDA is greater than the Monitoring Fee previously paid to BMP for monitoring services rendered during that fiscal year (including the adjustment in respect of projected EBITDA described above), Vivint Smart Home will pay BMP the amount of such excess within two business days of such certification. If 1.5% of such certified consolidated EBITDA is less than the monitoring fee previously paid to BMP for services rendered during that fiscal year (including the adjustment in respect of projected consolidated EBITDA described above), the amount of such shortfall will be applied as a credit against the next payment by Vivint Smart Home of the Monitoring Fee to BMP. However, BMP will always be entitled to retain the Minimum Annual Fee as then in effect and under no circumstances will BMP be obligated to rebate any amount that would result in BMP having been paid Monitoring Fees for monitoring services in an amount less than the Minimum Annual Fee applicable to the relevant fiscal year.

Amended and Restated Support and Services Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, the parties to the support and services agreement entered into an amended and restated support and services agreement with BMP. The amended and restated support and services agreement will become effective upon the consummation of the merger and amends and restates the existing support and services agreement to, upon the consummation of the merger, (a) eliminate the requirement to pay a milestone payment to BMP upon the occurrence of a Vivint IPO, (b) for any fiscal year beginning after the consummation of the merger, (i) eliminate the Minimum Annual Fee and (ii) decrease the “true-up” of the annual Monitoring Fee payment to BMP to 1% of consolidated EBITDA and (c) upon the earlier of (1) the completion of New Vivint’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 or (2) the date upon which Blackstone owns less than 5% of the voting power of all of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of New Vivint’s or its direct or indirect controlling parent, and such stake has a fair market value (as determined by Blackstone) of less than $25 million (the “Exit Date”), the annual Monitoring Fee payment to BMP otherwise payable in connection with the agreement will cease and no other milestone payment or other similar payment will be owed by New Vivint to BMP.

Under the amended and restated support and services agreement, BMP had made available to Vivint Smart Home its portfolio operations group to provide support services customarily provided by Blackstone’s portfolio operations group to Blackstone’s private equity portfolio companies of a type and amount determined by such portfolio services group it its sole discretion to be warranted and appropriate. BMP may, at any time, choose not to provide any such services. Such services will be provided without charge, other than for the reimbursement of related out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BMP and its affiliates.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Vivint Smart Home common stock, or beneficial owner of Mosaic public shares, as applicable, that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) such trust has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (4) an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source. A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Mosaic public shares (other than a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder.

If an entity or an arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Vivint Smart Home common stock or Mosaic public shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, or of a redemption of Mosaic public shares, as applicable, to a partner in such partnership (or owner of such entity) generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership (or entity). Any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that holds Vivint Smart Home common stock or Mosaic public shares, and any partners in such partnership, are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the merger in their specific circumstances.

The tax consequences of the merger or of a redemption of your Mosaic public shares, as applicable, will depend on your specific situation. You should consult with your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the merger or of a redemption of your Mosaic public shares, as applicable, in your particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax and any state, local, foreign or other tax laws and of changes in those laws.

Tax Consequences of the Merger to Holders of Vivint Smart Home Common Stock

Tax Consequences if the Merger Qualifies as a Reorganization Within the Meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code

The parties intend for the merger to be treated as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The obligations of Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic to complete the merger are not conditioned on the receipt of opinions from STB or Paul, Weiss to the effect that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the merger will occur even if it does not so qualify.

In connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is a part and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, Paul, Weiss has delivered an opinion that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. This opinion is based on facts and representations contained in representation letters provided by Vivint Smart Home and Mosaic and on customary assumptions.

Neither Vivint Smart Home nor Mosaic has requested, and neither intends to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger and an opinion of

counsel is not binding on the IRS. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the merger to such holder.

On the basis of the opinion described above, the tax consequences for U.S. Holders who receive shares of Mosaic Class A common stock in exchange for shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock (including the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock resulting from the conversion of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock described under “The Merger AgreementMerger Consideration”) pursuant to the merger are as follows.

You will not recognize gain or loss upon exchanging your Vivint Smart Home common stock for Mosaic Class A common stock. The aggregate tax basis in the shares of Mosaic Class A common stock that you receive pursuant to the merger (including, except as discussed below with respect to any earnout shares that represent imputed interest, any earnout shares received as described above under the heading “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration—Earnout consideration”) will equal your aggregate adjusted tax basis in the shares of the Vivint Smart Home common stock you surrender. Such aggregate adjusted tax basis will be allocated to the Mosaic Class A common stock you receive. Your holding period for the shares of Mosaic Class A common stock that you receive pursuant to the merger (excluding any earnout shares treated as imputed interest) will include your holding period for the shares of the Vivint Smart Home common stock you surrender. A portion of any earnout shares you receive pursuant to the Merger will be taxable to you upon receipt as imputed interest. Your basis in any earnout shares treated as imputed interest will equal the fair market value of such shares on the date of receipt and your holding period in such earnout shares will begin on the day following the date of receipt.

If you receive cash instead of a fractional share of Mosaic Class A common stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the manner in which such cash is taxed (e.g., as a dividend as a result of the application of Section 304 of the Code to the transaction or as transaction that may give rise to capital gain or loss).

If you acquired different blocks of Vivint Smart Home common stock at different times or different prices, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the manner in which gain or loss should be determined in your specific circumstances, including the possible application of the installment sale rules.

Information Reporting

Certain information reporting requirements may apply to each U.S. Holder that is a “significant holder” of Vivint Smart Home common stock. A “significant holder” is a holder of Vivint Smart Home common stock, that, immediately before the merger, owned at least 1% (by vote or value) of the outstanding stock of Vivint Smart Home (or, in certain instances, Vivint Smart Home common stock with a basis of at least $1 million). You are urged to consult your tax advisor as to the potential application of these information reporting requirements.

All holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the merger in their particular circumstances, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax, any federal tax laws other than those pertaining to income tax (including estate and gift tax laws), and any state, local, foreign or other tax laws.

Tax Consequences of a Redemption of Mosaic Public Shares

Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders

The discussion below applies to you if you are A “U.S. Holder” (as defined above) of Mosaic public shares that exercises the redemption rights described above under “Mosaic Special Meeting of Stockholders –Redemption Rights” with respect to your Mosaic public shares.

Treatment of Redemption

The treatment of a redemption of your Mosaic public shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Mosaic public shares under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Mosaic public shares, you will recognize gain or loss as described below under “—Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale of Mosaic public shares” below. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Mosaic public shares, you will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution subject to tax as described below under “—Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions”. Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Mosaic public shares treated as held by you (including any shares constructively owned by the you, including Mosaic public shares constructively held by you as a result of owning Mosaic publicly traded warrants) relative to all of the Mosaic public shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Mosaic public shares generally will be treated as a sale of the Mosaic public shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) results in a “complete termination” of your interest in Mosaic, (ii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to you or (iii) is a “substantially disproportionate redemption” with respect to you. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, you must take into account not only Mosaic public shares actually owned by you, but also Mosaic public shares that are constructively owned by you. You may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which you have an interest or that have an interest in you, as well as any shares you have a right to acquire by exercise of an option (such as Mosaic publicly traded warrants). There will be a complete termination of your interest if either (i) all of the shares of Mosaic public shares actually and constructively owned by you are redeemed or (ii) all of the Mosaic public shares actually owned by you are redeemed and you are eligible to waive, and do waive, the attribution of shares owned by certain family members and you do not constructively own any other shares. The redemption of Mosaic public shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if your redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of your proportionate interest in Mosaic. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in your proportionate interest in Mosaic will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over its corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction”. In order to meet the “substantially disproportionate” test, the percentage of outstanding Mosaic public shares actually and constructively owned by you immediately following the redemption of the Mosaic public shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of the outstanding Mosaic public shares actually and constructively owned by you immediately before the redemption. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption proceeds will be treated as a corporate distribution and the tax effects will be as described under “—Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions”, below. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis you have in the redeemed Mosaic public shares will be added to your adjusted tax basis in your remaining Mosaic public shares, or, if you have none, to your adjusted tax basis in Mosaic publicly traded warrants held by you or possibly in other shares constructively owned by you.

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions

If the redemption of your Mosaic public shares does not qualify as a sale of Mosaic public shares, you will be treated as receiving a distribution from Mosaic. You generally will be required to include in gross income as

 

294


Table of Contents

dividends the amount of proceeds received in connection with such a redemption to the extent the distribution is paid out of Mosaic’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will treated as a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce your basis in your shares (but not below zero), with any remaining excess treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares as described below under “— Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale of Mosaic public shares”.

If you are a corporate U.S. Holder, dividends paid by Mosaic to you generally will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations so long as you satisfy the holding period requirement for the dividends-received deduction.

If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, under tax laws currently in effect, dividends generally will be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate so long as you satisfy the holding period requirement of at least sixty days which begins within a certain number of days before the ex-dividend date (see “—Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale of Mosaic public shares” below).

Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale or Exchange of Mosaic public shares

If a redemption of your Mosaic public shares qualifies as a sale of Mosaic public shares, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in the redemption and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the Mosaic public shares so redeemed.

Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for the Mosaic public shares so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be eligible for taxation at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Information Reporting with Respect to the Redemption for Significant Holders

Certain information reporting requirements may apply to each U.S. Holder that is a “significant holder” of Mosaic public shares. A “significant holder” is a beneficial owner of Mosaic public shares that, immediately prior to the redemption, actually or constructively owns 5% or more of the outstanding Mosaic public shares (by vote or value). You are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to the potential application of these reporting requirements.

Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Holders

The discussion below applies to you if you are A “Non-U.S. Holder” (as defined above) of Mosaic public shares that exercises the redemption rights described above under “Mosaic Special Meeting of Stockholders – Redemption Rights” with respect to your Mosaic public shares.

Treatment of Redemption

If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of your Mosaic public shares generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Mosaic public shares, as described above under “Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders—Treatment of Redemption”.

Non-U.S. Holders considering exercising their redemption rights are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their Mosaic public shares will be treated as a distribution, or as a sale, under the Code.

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions

If the redemption of a your Mosaic public shares does not qualify as a sale or exchange of Mosaic public shares, you will be treated as receiving a distribution from Mosaic, which distribution will be treated as a

 

295


Table of Contents

dividend to the extent the distribution is paid out of Mosaic’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). The gross amount of such dividends will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless you are eligible for a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty and provide proper certification of your eligibility for such reduced rate. Dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct by you of a trade or business in the United States (and are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment if an applicable treaty so requires) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder and, if you are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be treated as a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce your basis in your shares (but not below zero), with any remaining excess treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares as described under “—Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale or Exchange of Mosaic public shares” below.

Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale or Exchange of Mosaic public shares

If the redemption of your Mosaic public shares qualifies as a sale or exchange of such shares, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized on such redemption unless:

 

   

such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by you of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that you maintain in the United States), in which case you generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such gain at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder and, if you are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate;

 

   

You are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the redemption and certain other conditions are met, in which case you will be subject to a 30% tax on your net capital gain for the year; or

 

   

we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the redemption or the period during which you held Mosaic public shares, and, in the case where our Mosaic public shares are traded on an established securities market, you have owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Mosaic public shares at any time within the shorter of the five-year period or your holding period for our Mosaic public shares. We do not believe that we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation.

All holders of Mosaic public shares are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of a redemption of Mosaic public shares in their particular circumstances, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax, any federal tax laws other than those pertaining to income tax (including estate and gift tax laws), and any state, local, foreign or other tax laws.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Proceeds received in connection with the merger or a redemption of Mosaic public shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status. A Non-U.S. Holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

 

296


Table of Contents

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHTS

General

Vivint Smart Home is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the rights of Vivint Smart Home stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, Vivint Smart Home’s charter and Vivint Smart Home’s bylaws. As a result of the merger, Vivint Smart Home stockholders who receive shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock will become New Vivint Parent stockholders. New Vivint Parent is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the rights of New Vivint Parent stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, New Vivint Parent’s charter and New Vivint Parent’s bylaws. Thus, following the merger, the rights of Vivint Smart Home stockholders who become New Vivint Parent stockholders in the merger will continue to be governed by Delaware law but will no longer be governed by Vivint Smart Home’s charter and Vivint Smart Home’s bylaws and instead will be governed by New Vivint Parent’s charter and New Vivint Parent’s bylaws.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW VIVINT CAPITAL STOCK

As a result of the merger, Vivint Smart Home stockholders who receive shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock in the merger will become New Vivint Parent stockholders. Your rights as New Vivint Parent stockholders will be governed by Delaware law and New Vivint Parent’s charter and bylaws. The following description of the material terms of New Vivint Parent’s capital stock, including the common stock and preferred stock to be issued in the merger, reflects the anticipated state of affairs upon completion of the merger. We urge you to read the applicable provisions of Delaware law and New Vivint Parent’s forms of charter and bylaws carefully and in their entirety because they describe your rights as a holder of shares of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock.

In connection with the merger, New Vivint Parent will amend and restate its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The following is a description of the material terms of, and is qualified in its entirety by, New Vivint Parent’s charter and bylaws, each of which will be in effect upon the consummation of the merger, the forms of which are filed as Annex B to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is a part.

New Vivint Parent’s purpose is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the DGCL. Upon the consummation of the merger, New Vivint Parent’s authorized capital stock will consist of 3,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 300,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No shares of preferred stock will be issued or outstanding immediately after the merger. Unless New Vivint Parent’s board of directors determines otherwise, New Vivint Parent will issue all shares of its capital stock in uncertificated form.

Common Stock

Holders of New Vivint Parent Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election or removal of directors. The holders of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Upon New Vivint Parent’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata New Vivint Parent’s remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The common stock will not be subject to further calls or assessment by New Vivint Parent. There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All shares of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock that will be outstanding at the time of the completion of the offering will be fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of New Vivint Parent’s preferred stock New Vivint Parent may authorize and issue in the future.

As of November 19, 2019, Mosaic had approximately 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 8,625,000 shares of Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding and three holders of record of common stock. After giving effect to the merger, we expect New Vivint Parent will have approximately 185.2 million shares (assuming no redemptions) of common stock outstanding.

Preferred Stock

New Vivint Parent’s charter will authorize New Vivint Parent’s board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock (including convertible preferred stock). Unless required by law or by the NYSE, the authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by you. New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the powers including

 

315


Table of Contents

preferences and relative participations, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of that series, including, without limitation:

 

   

the designation of the series;

 

   

the number of shares of the series, which New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may, except where otherwise provided in the preferred stock designation, increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares then outstanding);

 

   

whether dividends, if any, will be cumulative or non-cumulative and the dividend rate of the series;

 

   

the dates at which dividends, if any, will be payable;

 

   

the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

 

   

the terms and amounts of any sinking fund provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

 

   

the amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of New Vivint Parent’s affairs;

 

   

whether the shares of the series will be convertible into shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of New Vivint Parent or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of the other class or series or other security, the conversion price or prices or rate or rates, any rate adjustments, the date or dates as of which the shares will be convertible and all other terms and conditions upon which the conversion may be made;

 

   

restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series; and

 

   

the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series.

New Vivint Parent could issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series, impede or discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of the holders of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock might believe to be in their best interests or in which the holders of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock might receive a premium for your Class A common stock over the market price of the common stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of holders of New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock by restricting dividends on the Class A common stock, diluting the voting power of the Class A common stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the Class A common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of New Vivint Parent’s Class  A common stock.

Dividends

The DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of “surplus” or, if there is no “surplus”, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. “Surplus” is defined as the excess of the net assets of the corporation over the amount determined to be the capital of the corporation by the board of directors. The capital of the corporation is typically calculated to be (and cannot be less than) the aggregate par value of all issued shares of capital stock. Net assets equals the fair value of the total assets minus total liabilities. The DGCL also provides that dividends may not be paid out of net profits if, after the payment of the dividend, capital is less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.

Declaration and payment of any dividend will be subject to the discretion of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors. The time and amount of dividends will be dependent upon New Vivint Parent’s financial condition, operations, cash requirements and availability, debt repayment obligations, capital expenditure needs and restrictions in New Vivint Parent’s debt instruments, industry trends, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and any other factors New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may consider relevant.

 

316


Table of Contents

New Vivint Parent has no current plans to pay dividends on its Class A common stock. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the sole discretion of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, New Vivint Parent’s results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may deem relevant. Because New Vivint Parent is a holding company and has no direct operations, New Vivint Parent will only be able to pay dividends from funds it receive from its subsidiaries. In addition, New Vivint Parent’s ability to pay dividends will be limited by covenants in its existing indebtedness and may be limited by the agreements governing other indebtedness that it or its subsidiaries incur in the future.

Annual Stockholder Meetings

New Vivint Parent’s bylaws will provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, time and place, if any, as exclusively selected by New Vivint Parent’s board of directors. To the extent permitted under applicable law, New Vivint Parent may conduct meetings by remote communications, including by webcast.

Anti-Takeover Effects of New Vivint Parent’s Charter and Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

New Vivint Parent’s charter and bylaws will contain and the DGCL contains provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce New Vivint Parent’s vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire New Vivint Parent. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of New Vivint Parent by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Class A common stock held by stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares.

However, the listing requirements of the NYSE, which would apply if and so long as New Vivint Parent’s Class A common stock remains listed on the NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of common stock. Additional shares that may be used in the future may be issued for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

New Vivint Parent’s board of directors may generally issue preferred shares on terms calculated to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of New Vivint Parent or the removal of New Vivint Parent’s management. Moreover, New Vivint Parent’s authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved Class A common stock or preferred stock may be to enable New Vivint Parent’s board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Vivint Parent by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of New Vivint Parent’s management and possibly deprive New Vivint Parent’s stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Class A common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Classified Board of Directors

New Vivint Parent’s charter provides that New Vivint Parent’s board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible, and with each director serving a three-year term. As a result, approximately one-third of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors. New Vivint Parent’s charter and bylaws provide that, subject to any rights of holders of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors.

Business Combinations

New Vivint Parent has opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL; however, New Vivint Parent’s charter will contain similar provisions providing that New Vivint Parent may not engage in certain “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

   

prior to such time, New Vivint Parent’s board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

   

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of New Vivint Parent’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding certain shares; or

 

   

at or subsequent to that time, the business combination is approved by New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of New Vivint Parent’s outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of New Vivint Parent’s outstanding voting stock. For purposes of this section only, “voting stock” has the meaning given to it in Section 203 of the DGCL.

Under certain circumstances, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with New Vivint Parent for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring New Vivint Parent to negotiate in advance with New Vivint Parent’s board of directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if New Vivint Parent’s board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

New Vivint Parent’s charter will provide that Blackstone, its affiliates and any of their respective direct or indirect transferees and any group as to which such persons are a party do not constitute “interested stockholders” for purposes of this provision.

Removal of Directors; Vacancies

Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in New Vivint Parent’s charter, a director serving on a classified board may be removed by the stockholders only for cause. New Vivint Parent’s charter will provide that directors may be removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of

 

318


Table of Contents

all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class; provided, however, at any time when the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates beneficially own in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of New Vivint Parent’s stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, directors may only be removed for cause, and only upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. In addition, New Vivint Parent’s charter will also provide that, subject to the rights granted to one or more series of preferred stock then outstanding and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any newly created directorship on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the board of directors will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be), even if less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders; provided, however, that subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock or those granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, at any time when the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all then outstanding shares of stock of New Vivint Parent entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any newly created directorship on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring on the board of directors may only be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock, by voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be) (and not by the stockholders).

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the charter specifically authorizes cumulative voting. New Vivint Parent’s charter will not authorize cumulative voting.

Special Stockholder Meetings

New Vivint Parent’s charter will provide that special meetings of New Vivint Parent’s stockholders may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the board of directors or the chairperson of the board of directors; provided, however, at any time when the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% in voting power of the stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, special meetings of New Vivint Parent’s stockholders shall also be called by or at the direction of the board of directors or the chairperson of the board of directors at the request of Blackstone and its affiliates. New Vivint Parent’s bylaws will prohibit the conduct of any business at a special meeting other than as specified in the notice for such meeting. These provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or management of New Vivint Parent.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals

New Vivint Parent’s bylaws will establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide New Vivint Parent with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at New Vivint Parent’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. New Vivint Parent’s bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. New Vivint Parent’s bylaws will allow the chairperson of the meeting at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from

 

319


Table of Contents

conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of New Vivint Parent.

Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting

Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is or are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of New Vivint Parent’s stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, unless New Vivint Parent’s charter provides otherwise. New Vivint Parent’s charter will preclude stockholder action by any consent in lieu of a meeting at any time when the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates own, in the aggregate, less than 30% in voting power of New Vivint Parent’s stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Supermajority Provisions

New Vivint Parent’s charter and bylaws will provide that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, amend, alter, change, add to, rescind or repeal, in whole or in part, New Vivint Parent’s bylaws without a stockholder vote in any matter not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or New Vivint Parent’s charter. For as long as the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% in voting power of New Vivint Parent’s stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any amendment, alteration, change, addition or repeal of New Vivint Parent’s bylaws by New Vivint Parent’s stockholders requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of New Vivint Parent’s stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal. At any time when the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% in voting power of New Vivint Parent’s stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of New Vivint Parent’s bylaws by New Vivint Parent’s stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage.

New Vivint Parent’s charter will provide that at any time when the Stockholder Parties and their affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% in voting power of New Vivint Parent’s stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, the following provisions in New Vivint Parent’s charter may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power all the then outstanding shares of New Vivint Parent’s stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class:

 

   

the provision requiring a 66 2/3% supermajority vote for stockholders to amend New Vivint Parent’s bylaws;

 

   

the provisions regarding resignation and removal of directors;

 

   

the provisions regarding competition and corporate opportunities;

 

   

the provisions regarding entering into business combinations with interested stockholders;

 

   

the provisions regarding stockholder action by written consent;

 

   

the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

 

320


Table of Contents
   

the provisions regarding filling vacancies on New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and newly created directorships;

 

   

the provisions eliminating monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty by a director;

 

   

the provisions providing the exclusive forum for certain claims and controversies; and

 

   

the amendment provision requiring that the above provisions be amended only with a 66 2/3% supermajority vote.

The combination of the lack of cumulative voting and the supermajority voting requirements will make it more difficult for New Vivint Parent’s existing stockholders to replace New Vivint Parent’s board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of New Vivint Parent by replacing New Vivint Parent’s board of directors. Because New Vivint Parent’s board of directors has the power to retain and discharge New Vivint Parent’s officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of New Vivint Parent’s management or New Vivint Parent, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of New Vivint Parent’s board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of New Vivint Parent. These provisions are designed to reduce New Vivint Parent’s vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for New Vivint Parent’s shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of New Vivint Parent’s shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, New Vivint Parent’s stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of New Vivint Parent. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of New Vivint Parent’s stockholders may bring an action in New Vivint Parent’s name to procure a judgment in New Vivint Parent’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of New Vivint Parent’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Exclusive Forum

New Vivint Parent’s charter will provide that unless New Vivint Parent consents to the selection of an alternative forum, any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Vivint Parent, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder or employee to New Vivint Parent or its stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or New Vivint Parent’s charter or New Vivint Parent’s bylaws or (4) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of New Vivint Parent shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the

 

321


Table of Contents

forum provisions in New Vivint Parent’s charter. In addition, the provisions described above will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the federal securities laws or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Conflicts of Interest

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. New Vivint Parent’s charter will, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law, renounce any interest or expectancy that New Vivint Parent has in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to New Vivint Parent’s officers, directors or stockholders or their respective affiliates, other than those officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates who are New Vivint Parent’s or New Vivint Parent’s subsidiaries’ employees. New Vivint Parent’s charter will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the Stockholder Parties or any of their affiliates or any director who is not employed by New Vivint Parent (including any non-employee director who serves as one of New Vivint Parent’s officers in both his director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from (1) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar lines of business in which New Vivint Parent or its affiliates now engage or propose to engage or (2) otherwise competing with New Vivint Parent or its affiliates. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that any Stockholder Party or non-employee director acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself or himself or its or his affiliates or for New Vivint Parent or its affiliates, such person will have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to New Vivint Parent or any of its affiliates and they may take any such opportunity for themselves or offer it to another person or entity. New Vivint Parent’s charter will not renounce New Vivint Parent’s interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to a non-employee director solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of New Vivint Parent. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no business opportunity will be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for New Vivint Parent unless New Vivint Parent would be permitted to undertake the opportunity under its charter, New Vivint Parent has sufficient financial resources to undertake the opportunity and the opportunity would be in line with New Vivint Parent’s business.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. New Vivint Parent’s charter will include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of New Vivint Parent and its stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on New Vivint Parent’s behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

New Vivint Parent’s bylaws will provide that New Vivint Parent must indemnify and advance expenses to New Vivint Parent’s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. New Vivint Parent also is expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for New Vivint Parent’s directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. New Vivint Parent believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in New Vivint Parent’s charter and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.

Table of Contents

These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit New Vivint Parent and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent New Vivint Parent pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of Vivint Smart Home’s or Mosaic’s directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, Mosaic, BMP and certain subsidiaries of Vivint Smart Home who were parties to the Support and Services Agreement entered into in connection with the 2012 Blackstone Acquisition entered into an amended and restated support and services agreement, which provides that BMP shall make available to New Vivint certain support services in exchange for a fee equal to 1% of New Vivint’s “Consolidated EBITDA” (as defined in the amended and restated support and services agreement) until the Post-Merger Exit Date. The amended and restated support and services agreement will become effective upon the consummation of the merger. See “Other Agreements—Support and Services Agreement—Amended and restated support and services agreement”, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Procedures with Respect to Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

In connection with the merger, New Vivint expects to adopt a formal written policy for the review and approval of transactions with related persons. Such policy will require, among other things, that:

 

   

any related person transaction, and any material amendment or modification to a related person transaction, must be reviewed and approved or ratified by an approving body comprised of the disinterested and independent members of the board of directors of New Vivint Parent or any committee of the board of directors of New Vivint Parent, provided that a majority of the members of the board of directors or such committee, respectively, are disinterested; and

 

   

any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation must be approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors of New Vivint Parent or recommended by the compensation committee to the board of directors of New Vivint Parent for its approval.

In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:

 

   

management must disclose to the approving body the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the related person’s interest in the transaction, the material terms of the related person transaction, including the business purpose of the transaction, the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction, the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction and all the material facts as to the related person’s direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related person transaction;

 

324


Table of Contents
   

management must advise the approving body as to whether the related person transaction complies with the terms of New Vivint’s agreements, including the agreements governing New Vivint’s material outstanding indebtedness, that limit or restrict New Vivint’s ability to enter into a related person transaction;

 

   

management must advise the approving body as to whether the related person transaction will be required to be disclosed in applicable filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and related rules, and, to the extent required to be disclosed, management must ensure that the related person transaction is disclosed in accordance with such statutes and related rules; and

 

   

management must advise the approving body as to whether the related person transaction may constitute a “personal loan” for purposes of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In addition, the related person transaction policy will provide that the approving body, in connection with any approval of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, should consider whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC and any exchange on which our securities are listed.

The related person transaction policy will also contain a standing approval for certain transactions with or related to Blackstone, including, without limitation: (1) transactions in which Blackstone may have a direct or indirect material interest entered into or in effect at the effective time of the merger; (2) transactions involving New Vivint’s securities in which Blackstone serves as an underwriter, placement agent, initial purchaser, financial advisor or in a similar capacity, and the fees and commissions received by Blackstone for such services are no greater (on a per security basis) than those received by other underwriters, placement agents, initial purchasers, financial advisors or persons performing in a similar capacity in the transaction or that would be received by an unaffiliated third party; and (3) the purchase or sale of products or services involving a Blackstone portfolio company, provided that (a) the appropriate officers of New Vivint reasonably believe the transaction to be on market terms and the subject products or services are of a type generally made available to other customers of the subject Blackstone portfolio company or (b) the aggregate value involved in such purchase or sale is expected to be less than $5 million over five years.

Some of those agreements related to Vivint Solar’s use of certain of Vivint Smart Home’s information technology and infrastructure services; however, Vivint Solar stopped using such services in July 2017. In August 2017, Vivint Smart Home entered into a sales dealer agreement with Vivint Solar, pursuant to which each company will act as a non-exclusive dealer for the other party to market, promote and sell each other’s products. The sales dealer agreement has an initial term of two years and replaces substantially all of the activities being undertaken under the parties’ former marketing and customer relations agreement. Such subsidiary and Vivint Solar also agreed to extend the term of the non-solicitation provisions under an existing non-competition agreement to match the term of the sales dealer agreement. Net expenses charged to Vivint Solar in connection with these agreements was $8.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $17.3 million, $2.8 million and $4.6 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The balance due from Solar in connection with these agreements and other expenses paid on Solar’s behalf was $1.4 million at September 30, 2019 and immaterial at December 31, 2018, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Under the DGCL, if a Vivint Smart Home stockholder does not wish to accept the merger consideration provided for in the merger agreement, does not consent to the adoption of the merger agreement and the merger is consummated, such stockholder has the right to seek appraisal of his, her or its shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of his, her or its shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value of such shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock. These rights are known as appraisal rights. The “fair value” of such shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as, the merger consideration that a stockholder of record is otherwise entitled to receive for the same number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock under the terms of the merger agreement. Stockholders of Vivint Smart Home who elect to exercise appraisal rights must comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL to perfect their rights. Strict compliance with the statutory procedures in Section 262 of the DGCL is required. Stockholders of Vivint Smart Home who wish to exercise appraisal rights, or preserve the ability to do so, must not deliver a signed written consent adopting the merger agreement.

This section is intended only as a brief summary of the material provisions of the statutory procedures under the DGCL that a Vivint Smart Home stockholder must follow in order to seek and perfect appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and the law pertaining to appraisal rights under the DGCL, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the full text of which is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that stockholders exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. Unless otherwise noted, all references in this summary to “stockholders” or “you” are to the record holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger as to which appraisal rights are asserted. A person having a beneficial interest in shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock held of record in the name of another person must act promptly to cause the record holder to follow the steps summarized below properly and in a timely manner to perfect appraisal rights.

Section 262 of the DGCL requires that where a merger agreement is adopted by a written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders, stockholders entitled to appraisal rights must be given notice that appraisal rights are available. A copy of Section 262 of the DGCL must be included with such notice. The notice must be provided after the merger is approved and no later than 10 days after the effective date of the merger. Only those Vivint Smart Home stockholders who did not submit a written consent adopting the merger agreement and who have otherwise complied with Section 262 of the DGCL are entitled to receive such notice. The notice may be given by Vivint Smart Home. If given at or after the effective date of the merger, the notice must also specify the effective date of the merger; otherwise, a supplementary notice will provide this information. This proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus is not intended to constitute such a notice. Do not send in your demand before the date of such notice because any demand for appraisal made prior to your receipt of such notice may not be effective to perfect your rights.

Following Vivint Smart Home’s receipt of sufficient written consents to adopt the merger agreement, Vivint Smart Home will send all non-consenting Vivint Smart Home stockholders who satisfy the other statutory conditions the notice regarding the receipt of such written consents and the availability of appraisal rights. A Vivint Smart Home stockholder electing to exercise his, her or its appraisal rights will need to take action at that time, in response to such notice, but this description is being provided to all Vivint Smart Home stockholders now so you can determine whether you wish to preserve your ability to demand appraisal rights in the future in response to such notice.

 

330


Table of Contents

In order to preserve your right to receive notice and to demand appraisal rights, you must not deliver a written consent adopting the merger agreement. As described below, you must also continue to hold your shares through the effective date of the merger.

If you elect to demand appraisal of your shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock, you must, within 20 days after the date of mailing of the notice, make a written demand for the appraisal of your shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock to Vivint Smart Home, at the specific address which will be included in the notice of appraisal rights. Do not submit a demand before the date of the notice of appraisal rights because a demand that is made before the date of such notice may not be effective to perfect your appraisal rights.

A Vivint Smart Home stockholder wishing to exercise appraisal rights must hold of record the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made. In addition, a holder must continue to hold of record the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock through the effective date of the merger. Appraisal rights will be lost if your shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock are transferred prior to the effective time. If you are not the stockholder of record, you will need to follow special procedures as discussed further below.

If you and/or the record holder of your shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock fail to comply with all of the conditions required by Section 262 of the DGCL to perfect your appraisal rights, and the merger is completed, your shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock (assuming that you hold them through the effective time of the merger) will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration in respect thereof, as provided for in the merger agreement, but without interest, and you will have no appraisal rights with respect to such shares.

As noted above, a holder of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock wishing to exercise his, her or its appraisal rights must, within 20 days after the date of mailing of the notice of appraisal rights, make a written demand for the appraisal of his, her or its shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock. The demand must reasonably inform Vivint Smart Home of the identity of the stockholder of record and his, her or its intent to demand appraisal of the fair value of the shares held by such holder. Only a holder of record of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date will be entitled to assert appraisal rights for the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock registered in that holder’s name. . The demand for appraisal should be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record of the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on the Vivint Smart Home stock certificate(s), as applicable, should specify the stockholder’s name and mailing address and the number of shares registered in the stockholder’s name, and must state that the person intends thereby to demand appraisal of the stockholder’s shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock in connection with the merger. The demand cannot be made by the beneficial owner of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock if such beneficial owner does not also hold of record such shares. A beneficial owner of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock held in “street name” who desires appraisal should take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that a timely and proper demand for appraisal is made by the record holder of such shares. Shares held through brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions are frequently deposited with and held of record in the name of a nominee of a central security depository, such as Cede & Co. Any beneficial holder desiring appraisal who holds shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution is responsible for ensuring that the demand for appraisal is made by the record holder. The beneficial holder of such shares should instruct such firm, bank or institution that the demand for appraisal be made by the record holder of the shares, which may be the nominee of a central security depository if the shares have been so deposited. As required by Section 262, a demand for appraisal must reasonably inform the Company of the identity of the holder(s) of record (which may be a nominee as described above) and of such holder’s intention to seek appraisal of such shares. If shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity (such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian) execution of the demand for appraisal should be made in that capacity. If the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock are held of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two

 

331


Table of Contents

or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal on behalf of a holder of record; however, the agent must identify the record holder or holders and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he, she or it is acting as agent for the record holder or holders. A record holder who holds shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock as a nominee for others, may exercise appraisal rights with respect to such shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising such rights with respect to shares held for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock is expressly mentioned, the demand for appraisal will be presumed to cover all shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock held in the name of the record holder. Stockholders who hold their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock in brokerage accounts or other nominee forms and who wish to exercise appraisal rights are urged to consult with their brokers to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by such a nominee.

At any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, but not thereafter, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined a proceeding as a named party may withdraw the demand for appraisal and accept the merger consideration for his, her or its shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock by delivering to Vivint Smart Home a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal. However, any such attempt to withdraw the demand made more than 60 days after the effective date of the merger will require written approval of Vivint Smart Home. Unless the demand for appraisal is properly withdrawn by the stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, no appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any Vivint Smart Home stockholder without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the court deems just. If Vivint Smart Home does not approve a request to withdraw a demand for appraisal when that approval is required, or if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not approve the dismissal of an appraisal proceeding, the stockholder will be entitled to receive only the appraised value determined in any such appraisal proceeding, which value could be less than, equal to or more than the merger consideration for his, her or its shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock.

Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, either Vivint Smart Home (as the surviving corporation of the merger) or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and is entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal. Upon the filing of such a petition by a stockholder, service of a copy of such petition shall be made upon Vivint Smart Home. Mosaic has no present intent to cause Vivint Smart Home to file such a petition and has no obligation to cause such a petition to be filed, and stockholders should not assume that Vivint Smart Home will file a petition. Accordingly, it is the obligation of the holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock to initiate all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights in respect of such shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock within the time prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL, as the failure of a stockholder to file such a petition within the period specified could nullify his, her or its previous written demand for appraisal. In addition, within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, any stockholder who has properly complied with the requirements for the exercise of appraisal rights, upon written request, will be entitled to receive from Vivint Smart Home a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock for which a written consent adopting the merger agreement was not submitted and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received, and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. The statement must be mailed within 10 days after such written request has been received by Vivint Smart Home or within 10 days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock may, in such person’s own name, file a petition for appraisal or request from Vivint Smart Home such statement.

If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is served upon Vivint Smart Home, then Vivint Smart Home will be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the

 

332


Table of Contents

petition, to file with the Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock have not been reached. After notice to stockholders who have demanded appraisal, if such notice is ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition and to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and who have become entitled to appraisal rights provided thereunder. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock to submit their stock certificates to the Delaware Register in Chancery for notation of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings, and if any stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to that stockholder.

After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock, the Delaware Court of Chancery will appraise such shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock, determining their fair value as of the effective date of the merger after taking into account all relevant factors exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. When the fair value has been determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value upon surrender by those stockholders of the Vivint Smart Home stock certificates, representing their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock. Holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock as determined under Section 262 could be more or less than or the same as the consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger if they did not seek appraisal of their shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock and that investment banking opinions as to fairness from a financial point of view are not necessarily opinions as to fair value under Section 262. The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered in the appraisal proceedings. In addition, Delaware courts have decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a dissenter’s exclusive remedy Unless the court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, Vivint Smart Home may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided above only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court of Chancery and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. The costs of the appraisal action (which do not include attorneys’ fees or the fees and expenses of experts) may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable under the circumstances. The Delaware Court of Chancery may also order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by a stockholder in connection with an appraisal, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts utilized in the appraisal proceeding, be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to be appraised.

No representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the court and stockholders should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value lower than, or the same as, the merger consideration. Moreover, none of Mosaic or Vivint Smart Home anticipates offering more than the merger consideration to any stockholder exercising appraisal rights and Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home reserve the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262 of the DGCL, the “fair value” of a share of Vivint Smart Home common stock is less than the per share merger consideration.

Under the merger agreement, holders of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock will have their shares converted into shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the effective time. Accordingly, the

foregoing discussion is applicable to holders of Vivint Smart Home preferred stock in their capacity as holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the merger.

FAILING TO FOLLOW PROPER STATUTORY PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF YOUR APPRAISAL RIGHTS. In view of the complexity of Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of shares of Vivint common stock who may wish to pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal and financial advisors.

Holders of Mosaic common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger under Delaware law.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Mosaic Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Mosaic Acquisition Corp. (the ‘‘Company’’) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from July 26, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the ‘‘financial statements’’). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from July 26, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company does not complete a business combination by October 23, 2019, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding down and liquidating. This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (‘‘PCAOB’’) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

Note 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

Mosaic Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company and was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 26, 2017. Effective December 21, 2018, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (“Domestication”). The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified (“business combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify, acquire and operate a business that may provide opportunities for attractive risk-adjusted returns.

All activity from July 26, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2018 relates to the Company’s formation, completion of the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), entering into forward purchase agreements, and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a Business Combination candidate described below.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 18, 2017. On October 23, 2017, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (“units”), including the issuance of 4,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $345 million and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.7 million, inclusive of $12.075 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“private placement”) of 5,933,334 warrants (the “private placement warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, with the Company’s sponsors, Mosaic Sponsor, LLC and Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC (each a “sponsor” and, together, the “sponsors”), generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and private placement, $345 million ($10.00 per unit) of the aggregate net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (“Trust Account”) at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Beginning in January 2018, the proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $893,000 in cash held outside of the Trust Account. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of private placement warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its holders of Class A common stock (“public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A common stock upon the completion of a business combination either

(i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, it will: (i) conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules; and (ii) file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (initially approximately $10.00 per share) plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay for the Company’s tax obligations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has withdrawn an aggregate of approximately $750,000 of interest earned on funds held in Trust Account for working capital purposes. The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Class A common stock will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These shares of Class A common stock are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)

Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a business combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by the law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a business combination. If, however, a stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Class A common stock irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a business combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their founder shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Class A common stock purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a business combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Class A common stock in connection with the completion of a business combination.

In addition, certain institutional and accredited investors (“anchor investors”) have entered into forward purchase agreements with the Company, pursuant to which the anchor investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 15,789,474 shares of Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $9.50 per share of Class A common stock (for an aggregate amount of approximately $150 million), in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination (“forward purchase agreements”). The obligations under the forward purchase agreements do not depend on whether any Class A common stock are redeemed by the public stockholders. In connection with these agreements, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock is less than $11.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like) for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the first anniversary of the initial business combination, each anchor investor may purchase from the sponsors, at a price per share of Class A common stock of $0.01, a number of Class A common stock (“contingent call shares”) no greater than (a) the number of forward purchase shares issued and sold to such anchor investor less any forward purchase shares sold by such anchor investor prior to its exercise of the right to purchase such contingent call shares divided by (b) 18 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s sponsors, officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Class A common stock if the Company does not complete a business combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Class A common stock which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock for a portion of the funds held in the trust account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account, plus any pro-rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, or to pay the Company’s taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). The Company withdrew interest earned from funds held in the Trust Account of approximately $750,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018 for working capital purposes.

The initial stockholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the founder shares if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the combination period. However, if the initial stockholders should acquire Class A common stock in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such Class A common stock if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the combination period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a business combination within the combination period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the trust account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Class A common stock. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the trust account (or less than that in certain circumstances). In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, the sponsors have agreed to be liable to the Company, jointly and severally, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the sponsors will not be responsible to the

Table of Contents

extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the sponsors will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $893,000 in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $909,000.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsors or an affiliate of the sponsors, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”) (see Note 5).

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has not recorded any adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities after considering the requirement to liquidate after October 23, 2019 if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statement is presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

 

F-10


Table of Contents

This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Income taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction from inception, and changed to State of Delaware since the Domestication on December 21, 2018. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had gross deferred tax assets related federal and state net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $9,000. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and taxing strategies in making this assessment. In case the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2018.

Class A common stock subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control)

 

F-11


Table of Contents

are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, an aggregate of 33,427,182 and 32,900,501 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at redemption value at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s accompanying balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock for the year ended December 31, 2018 are calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of approximately $6.2 million, net of funds available to be withdrawn from Trust for working capital and tax payable purposes (subject to an annual limit of $750,000), resulted in a total of approximately $5.4 million, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class F common stock for the year ended December 31, 2018 are calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A common stock by the weighted average number of Class F common stock outstanding for the period.

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,433,334 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

   

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

F-12


Table of Contents
   

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

   

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The Company anticipates its first presentation of changes in stockholders’ equity will be included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Part I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; Part II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Also, entities must adjust their basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) calculation for the effect of the down round provision when triggered (that is, when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down round feature). That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. An entity will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company plans to adopt this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures until a trigger event occurs. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update are not expected to have an impact on the Company.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3. Initial Public Offering

On October 23, 2017, the Company sold 34,500,000 units, including the issuance of 4,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at a price of $10.00 per unit in the Initial Public

 

F-13


Table of Contents

Offering. Each unit consists of one Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Note 4. Private Placement

Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 5,933,334 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million in the aggregate in a Private Placement. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On October 23, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Class F common stock to the sponsors (the “founder shares”) in exchange for an aggregate capital contribution of $25,000, with each sponsor purchasing an equal number of founder shares. The sponsors agreed to forfeit an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 founder shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. On October 23, 2017, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option. As a result, the 1,125,000 founder shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of a business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

The initial stockholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earliest of (a) one year after the completion of the initial business combination, (b) subsequent to the initial business combination, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (C) following the completion of the initial business combination, such future date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Forward Purchase Agreements

The Company entered into forward purchase agreements with anchor investors (including an affiliate of Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC), pursuant to which the anchor investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 15,789,474 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $9.50 multiplied by the number of shares of Class A common stock purchased (“forward purchase shares”), or approximately $150,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination.

In connection with the forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors, the sponsors will receive (by way of an adjustment to their existing founder shares) an aggregate number of additional founder shares equal to one ninth of the aggregate number of forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors.

If the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock is less than $11.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like) for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the first anniversary of the Company’s initial business combination, each anchor investor may purchase from the sponsors, at a price per Class A common stock of $0.01, a number of Class A common stock no greater than (a) the number of forward purchase shares issued and sold to such anchor

investor less any forward purchase shares sold by such anchor investor prior to its exercise of the right to purchase such contingent call shares divided by (b) 18 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like).

The forward purchase agreements also provided that the anchor investors are entitled to a right of first offer with respect to any proposed sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities by the Company for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination (other than forward purchase shares) and registration rights with respect to their forward purchase securities.

The forward purchase agreements provided that prior to our initial business combination each anchor investor has the right to designate one individual to be, at its election, either elected as a member of our board of directors or a non-voting observer of our board of directors.

The proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial business combination, expenses in connection with the initial business combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. These purchases will be required to be made regardless of whether any Class A common stock are redeemed by the public stockholders and are intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the initial business combination.

The anchor investors will have no right to the funds held in the trust account except with respect to any public shares owned by them.

Office Space and Related Support Services

Effective October 18, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of one of the sponsors a monthly fee of $16,875 for office space and related support services.

On October 18, 2017, the Company agreed to pay a monthly fee of $5,000 for its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) commencing on the closing of the Initial Public Offering, plus a deferred cash payment of $330 per hour, less cumulative monthly fees paid, payable upon completion of its initial business combination or liquidation, whichever occurs first. In addition, the Company also agreed to pay its CFO according to the agreement for services performed prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Any deferred cash payment will not be claimed against the trust account. Additionally, the Company will issue Class A common stock to him upon completion of the Company’s initial business combination (“Equity Compensation”). The number of Class A common stock to be issued is determined in accordance with an agreed formula, which is estimated to be 6,110 shares as of December 31, 2018. The Company is not obligated to issue the Equity Compensation if no Business Combination is consummated. The equity compensation fee is an unrecognized contingent liability, as closing of a potential business combination was not considered probable as of December 31, 2018.

The Company had incurred $257,000 and $58,000 in expenses during the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from July 26, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, respectively, as reflected in the accompanying Statements of Operations for services provided by related parties in connection with these aforementioned agreements with related parties. An aggregate of approximately $37,500 and $43,000 in fees for these services was accrued as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as reflected in the accompanying balance sheets.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsors or an affiliate of either sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide Working Capital Loans to the Company as may be required. If the Company completes a business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the trust account released to the Company.

 

F-15


Table of Contents

Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released for working capital purposes. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. There were no Working Capital Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Note 6. Commitments & Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares and private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a business combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the forward purchase agreements, the Company agreed to file within 30 days after the closing of the business combination a registration statement for a secondary offering of the forward purchase shares and contingent call shares and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the date on which the anchor investors cease to hold the securities covered thereby, (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the forward purchase agreements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the price paid by the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters exercised this over-allotment in full concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $6.9 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, a deferred underwriting discount of $0.35 per unit, or $12.075 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that the Company completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity

Class A Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on each matter on which they are entitled to vote. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, including 33,427,182 and 32,900,501 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.

 

F-16


Table of Contents

Class F Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 founder shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s founder shares are entitled to one vote for each share on each matter on which they are entitled to vote. The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock on the first business day following the consummation of the initial business combination on a one-for-one basis. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 8,625,000 founder shares outstanding.

Holders of the founder shares will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors prior to the initial business combination and each director will need to receive the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding founder shares in order to be elected. Otherwise, holders of Class A common stock and founder shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law or the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange then in effect.

Founder shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock on the first business day following the consummation of the initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holders, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which the founder shares shall convert into Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding founder shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of the total number of all common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial business combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and excluding forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors. The conversion ratio of the founder shares into Class A common stock will be further adjusted in connection with the forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors such that the sponsors will receive upon the closing of our initial business combination an aggregate number of additional Class A common stock equal to one ninth of the aggregate number of forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors.

Preferred stock—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there are no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Warrants—Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a business combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a business combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) day after the closing of the initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

F-17


Table of Contents

The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the private placement warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private placement warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants.

The Company may call the warrants for redemption:    1. For cash:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

2. For Class A common stock:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price equal to a number of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to a table included in the warrant agreement, based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A common stock;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants shares. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the combination period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the trust account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the trust account with the respect to such warrants. In such a situation, the warrants would expire worthless.

MOSAIC ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

Mosaic Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “Mosaic”) is a blank check company and was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 26, 2017. Effective December 21, 2018, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (“Domestication”). The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify, acquire and operate a business that may provide opportunities for attractive risk-adjusted returns.

All activity from July 26, 2017 (inception) through September 30, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, completion of the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), entering into forward purchase agreements, and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a Business Combination candidate described below.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 18, 2017. On October 23, 2017, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (“units”), including the issuance of 4,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $345 million and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.7 million, inclusive of $12.075 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“private placement”) of 5,933,334 warrants (the “private placement warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, with the Company’s sponsors, Mosaic Sponsor, LLC and Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC (each a “sponsor” and, together, the “sponsors”), generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and private placement, $345 million ($10.00 per unit) of the aggregate net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (“Trust Account”) at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Beginning in January 2018, the proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of private placement warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company will provide its holders of Class A common stock (“public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A common stock upon the completion of a business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, it will: (i) conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules; and (ii) file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.00 per share) plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay for the Company’s tax obligations. Since inception, the Company has withdrawn approximately $1.5 million for working capital and approximately $1.4 million for taxes obligations. The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Class A common stock will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These shares of Class A common stock are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a business combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by the law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a business combination. If, however, a stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Class A common stock irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a business combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their founder shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Class A common stock purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a business combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Class A common stock in connection with the completion of a business combination.

In addition, certain institutional and accredited investors (“anchor investors”) have entered into forward purchase agreements with the Company, pursuant to which the anchor investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 15,789,474 shares of Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $9.50 per share of Class A common stock (for an aggregate amount of approximately $150 million), in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination (“forward purchase agreements”). The obligations under the forward purchase agreements do not depend on whether any Class A common stock are redeemed by the public stockholders. In connection with these agreements, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock is less than $11.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like) for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the first anniversary of the initial business combination, each anchor investor may purchase from the sponsors, at a price per share of Class A common stock of $0.01, a number of Class A common stock (“contingent call shares”) no greater than (a) the number of forward purchase shares issued and sold to such anchor investor less any forward purchase

shares sold by such anchor investor prior to its exercise of the right to purchase such contingent call shares divided by (b) 18 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s sponsors, officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Class A common stock if the Company does not complete a business combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

The initial stockholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the founder shares if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders should acquire Class A common stock in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Class A common stock if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a business combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Class A common stock. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account (or less than that in certain circumstances). In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the sponsors have agreed to be liable to the Company, jointly and severally, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the sponsors will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the sponsors will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Company originally had until 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or October 23, 2019) to complete a business combination, or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or January 23, 2020) if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On September 15, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Mosaic, Maiden Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosaic (“Merger Sub”), and Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (“Vivint Smart Home”) (see Note 9). As a result, the Company extended the time by which it must consummate a business combination until January 23, 2020 (the “Combination Period”).

If the Company is unable to complete a business combination by the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Class A common stock which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

Going Concern

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $687,000 in its operating bank account, approximately $9.3 million of interest income from investments held in Trust Account available to fund working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of $750,000, of which the Company already withdrew $561,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019) and/or to pay for the Company’s tax obligations, and working capital of approximately $651,000.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsors or an affiliate of the sponsors, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”) (see Note 5).

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has not recorded any adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities after considering the requirement to liquidate after January 23, 2020 if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Income taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands was the Company’s major tax jurisdiction from inception, and changed to the State of Delaware since the Domestication on December 21, 2018. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had gross deferred tax assets related federal and state net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $215,000 and $9,000, respectively. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and taxing strategies in making this assessment. In case the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Class A common stock subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature contains certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, an aggregate of 33,784,066 and 33,427,182 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at redemption value at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s accompanying balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share.

Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of funds available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account for working capital (subject to an annual limit of $750,000) and tax payable purposes, resulted in a total of approximately $955,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of funds available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account for working capital (subject to an annual limit of $750,000) and tax payable purposes, resulted in a total of approximately $1.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period.

Net income (loss) per common stock, basic and diluted for Class F common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A common stock by the weighted average number of Class F common stock outstanding for the period.

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,433,334 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation

of diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method at September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

   

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

   

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

   

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3. Initial Public Offering

On October 23, 2017, the Company sold 34,500,000 units, including the issuance of 4,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at a price of $10.00 per unit in the Initial Public Offering. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Note 4. Private Placement

Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the sponsors purchased an aggregate of 5,933,334 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million in the aggregate in a Private Placement. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On October 23, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Class F common stock to the sponsors (the “founder shares”) in exchange for an aggregate capital contribution of $25,000, with each sponsor purchasing an equal number of founder shares. The sponsors agreed to forfeit an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 founder shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. On October 23, 2017, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option. As a result, the 1,125,000 founder shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of a business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

The initial stockholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earliest of (a) one year after the completion of the initial business combination, (b) subsequent to the initial business combination, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (C) following the completion of the initial business combination, such future date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Forward Purchase Agreements

The Company entered into forward purchase agreements with anchor investors (including an affiliate of Fortress Mosaic Sponsor LLC), pursuant to which the anchor investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 15,789,474 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $9.50 multiplied by the number of shares of Class A common stock purchased (“forward purchase shares”), or approximately $150,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination.

In connection with the forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors, the sponsors will receive (by way of an adjustment to their existing founder shares) an aggregate number of additional founder shares equal to one ninth of the aggregate number of forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors.

If the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock is less than $11.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like) for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the first anniversary of the Company’s initial business combination, each anchor investor may purchase from the sponsors, at a price per Class A common stock of $0.01, a number of Class A common stock no greater than (a) the number of forward purchase shares issued and sold to such anchor investor less any forward purchase shares sold by such anchor investor prior to its exercise of the right to purchase such contingent call shares divided by (b) 18 (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and the like).

 

F-31

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The forward purchase agreements also provided that the anchor investors are entitled to a right of first offer with respect to any proposed sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities by the Company for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination (other than forward purchase shares) and registration rights with respect to their forward purchase securities.

The forward purchase agreements provided that prior to our initial business combination each anchor investor has the right to designate one individual to be, at its election, either elected as a member of our board of directors or a non-voting observer of our board of directors.

The proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial business combination, expenses in connection with the initial business combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. These purchases will be required to be made regardless of whether any Class A common stock are redeemed by the public stockholders and are intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the initial business combination.

The anchor investors will have no right to the funds held in the Trust Account except with respect to any public shares owned by them.

Office Space and Related Support Services

Effective October 18, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of one of the sponsors a monthly fee of $16,875 for office space and related support services.

On October 18, 2017, the Company agreed to pay a monthly fee of $5,000 for its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) commencing on the closing of the Initial Public Offering, plus a deferred cash payment of $330 per hour, less cumulative monthly fees paid, payable upon completion of its initial business combination or liquidation, whichever occurs first. In addition, the Company also agreed to pay its CFO according to the agreement for services performed prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Any deferred cash payment will not be claimed against the Trust Account. Additionally, the Company will issue Class A common stock to him upon completion of the Company’s initial business combination (“Equity Compensation”). The number of Class A common stock to be issued is determined in accordance with an agreed formula, which is estimated to be 8,683 shares as of September 30, 2019. The Company is not obligated to issue the Equity Compensation if no Business Combination is consummated. The equity compensation fee is an unrecognized contingent liability, as closing of a potential business combination was not considered probable as of September 30, 2019.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred approximately $71,000 and $60,000, respectively, for services provided by related parties in connection with these aforementioned agreements, as reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred approximately $199,000 and $190,000, respectively, for services provided by related parties in connection with these aforementioned agreements, as reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsors or an affiliate of either sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide Working Capital Loans to the Company as may be required. If the Company completes a business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the

event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released for working capital purposes. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. There were no Working Capital Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Note 6. Commitments & Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares and private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a business combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the forward purchase agreements, the Company agreed to file within 30 days after the closing of the business combination a registration statement for a secondary offering of the forward purchase shares and contingent call shares and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the date on which the anchor investors cease to hold the securities covered thereby, (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the forward purchase agreements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the price paid by the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters exercised this over-allotment in full concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $6.9 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, a deferred underwriting discount of $0.35 per unit, or $12.075 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

for each share on each matter on which they are entitled to vote. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, including 33,784,066 and 33,427,182 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class F Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 founder shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s founder shares are entitled to one vote for each share on each matter on which they are entitled to vote. The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock on the first business day following the consummation of the initial business combination on a one-for-one basis. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 8,625,000 founder shares outstanding.

Holders of the founder shares will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors prior to the initial business combination and each director will need to receive the vote of two-thirds of the outstanding founder shares in order to be elected. Otherwise, holders of Class A common stock and founder shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law or the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange then in effect.

Founder shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock on the first business day following the consummation of the initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holders, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which the founder shares shall convert into Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding founder shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of the total number of all common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial business combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and excluding forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors. The conversion ratio of the founder shares into Class A common stock will be further adjusted in connection with the forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors such that the sponsors will receive upon the closing of our initial business combination an aggregate number of additional Class A common stock equal to one ninth of the aggregate number of forward purchase shares sold to the anchor investors.

Preferred Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there are no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Warrants—Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a business combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a business combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) day after the closing of the initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the private placement warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private placement warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants.

The Company may call the warrants for redemption:

1. For cash:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

2. For Class A common stock:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price equal to a number of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to a table included in the warrant agreement, based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A common stock;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the

warrants shares. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. In such a situation, the warrants would expire worthless.

Sponsor Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the sponsors and Eugene I. Davis (together with the sponsors, the “Sponsor Agreement Parties”) entered into an amendment to the existing sponsor agreement (as amended, the “Sponsor Agreement”) with Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home pursuant to which the Sponsor Agreement Parties have agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such persons in favor of each of the proposals at the Mosaic special stockholder meeting, to use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to not take any action that would reasonable be expected to materially delay or prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, prior to the valid termination of the Merger Agreement, each Sponsor Agreement Party is subject to certain non-solicitation restrictions restricting each Sponsor Agreement Party from, among other things, soliciting, initiating or knowingly encouraging or knowingly facilitating any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute a Business Combination Proposal (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement) other than with Vivint Smart Home, its stockholders and their respective affiliates and representatives or entering into any letter of intent, merger agreement or similar agreement providing such a Business Combination Proposal.

The Sponsor Agreement provides that the Sponsor Agreement Parties will not redeem any shares of Common Stock owned by such persons in connection with the Merger and will take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Mosaic, Vivint Smart Home or any of their respective successors and assigns relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Sponsor Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in such agreements.

The Sponsor Agreement Parties have also agreed, subject to the Stockholders Agreement (described below) and subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer any Founder Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement) (or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) or any Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement) (or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Merger, (B) subsequent to the Merger, if the last sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Merger or (C) such future date following the completion of the Merger on which Mosaic completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or similar transaction that results in all of Mosaic’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up Period”).

The Sponsor Agreement also provides that all the Founder Shares (and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) and Private Placement Warrants held by each Sponsor Agreement Party as of the Closing shall be unvested and shall be subject to certain time and performance-based vesting provisions described below. The Sponsor Agreement Parties have agreed not to transfer any unvested Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants prior to the date such securities become vested.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, 50% of the unvested Founder Shares shall vest at the closing of the Merger. 25% of the unvested Founder Shares shall vest at such time as a $12.50 Stock Price Level (as defined below) is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing. The remaining 25% of unvested Founder Shares shall vest at such time as a $15.00 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing. 50% of the unvested Private Placement Warrants shall vest at such time as a $12.50 Stock Price Level is

achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing. The remaining 50% of the unvested Private Placement Warrants shall vest at such time as a $15.00 Stock Price Level is achieved on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

In the event Mosaic enters into a binding agreement on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing related to certain sale transactions involving the shares of Common Stock or all or substantially all the assets of Mosaic (a “Mosaic Sale”), all unvested Founder Shares and unvested Private Placement Warrants shall vest on the day prior to the closing of such Mosaic Sale if the per share price implied in such Mosaic Sale meets or exceeds the applicable Stock Price Level.

Any Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants that remain unvested after the fifth anniversary of the Closing shall be forfeited. The applicable “Stock Price Level” will be considered achieved only (a) when the volume weighted average price of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange is greater than or equal to the applicable threshold for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period or (b) the per share price implied in a Mosaic Sale is greater than or equal to the applicable threshold.

The Sponsor Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the consummation of a Mosaic Sale and (b) the later of (i) the earlier of (x) the achievement of a $15.00 Stock Price Level on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing and (y) the fifth anniversary of the Closing and (ii) the expiration of the Lock-up Period.

Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mosaic, Merger Sub and 313 Acquisition LLC (“313 Acquisition”), which holds Vivint Smart Home common stock representing approximately 92% of the voting power of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock, entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”), providing, among other things, that on (or effective as of) the third business day following the date that the consent solicitation statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement is disseminated to Vivint Smart Home’s stockholders, 313 Acquisition will execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock held by 313 Acquisition adopting the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger, unless the Merger is no longer recommended by the Vivint Smart Home board of directors in accordance with the Merger Agreement, in which case, 313 Acquisition would vote a number of shares equal to 35% of the shares of Vivint Smart Home stock approving the Merger and is entitled, in its sole discretion, to vote its remaining shares in any manner. The shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock that are owned by 313 Acquisition and subject to the Support Agreement represent approximately 92% of the outstanding voting power of Vivint Smart Home common stock and preferred stock. In addition, the Support Agreement prohibits 313 Acquisition from engaging in activities that have the effect of soliciting a competing acquisition proposal.

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mosaic entered into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with the sponsors, Blackstone and certain other parties thereto (collectively, the “Stockholder Parties”). The Stockholders Agreement will become effective upon the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, Blackstone will have the right to designate nominees for election to Mosaic’s board of directors following the Closing at any meeting of its stockholders (each, a “Blackstone Director”). The number of nominees that Blackstone will be entitled to nominate pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is dependent on Blackstone’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock. For so long as Blackstone and their affiliates own (i) 50% or more of the Common Stock, Blackstone will be entitled to designate a majority of Mosaic’s directors, (ii) 40% to 50% of the Common Stock, Blackstone will be entitled to

Under the Stockholders Agreement, Mosaic agreed to nominate one director designated by Fortress (the “Fortress Director”) to Mosaic’s board of directors so long as Fortress beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of Mosaic’s Common Stock it owns immediately following the consummation of the Merger; provided that the Fortress Director must be an employee or principal of the Softbank Vision Fund unless otherwise agreed by Mosaic and Blackstone. Additionally, so long as Fortress beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of Mosaic’s common stock it owns immediately following the consummation of the Merger, Fortress shall have the right to appoint a representative (the “Fortress Observer”) who will have the right to attend meetings of Mosaic’s board of directors and receive information given to Mosaic’s directors, subject to certain customary exceptions, including to preserve confidentiality obligations or privilege. The Fortress Observer will not have any voting rights.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, Mosaic agreed to nominate one director designated by the Summit Designator (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) (the “Summit Director” and together with the Blackstone Directors and the Fortress Director, the “Stockholder Directors”) to Mosaic’s board of directors so long as the Summit Holders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) beneficially own at least 50% of the shares of Mosaic’s Common Stock they own immediately following the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, so long as the Summit Holders beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of Mosaic’s common stock they own immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the Summit Holders shall have the right to appoint a representative (the “Summit Observer”) who will have the right to attend meetings of Mosaic’s board of directors and receive information given to Summit’s directors, subject to certain customary exceptions, including to preserve confidentiality obligations or privilege. The Summit Observer will not have any voting rights.

In the case of a vacancy on Mosaic’s board created by the removal or resignation of a Stockholder Director, Mosaic agreed to nominate an individual designated by Blackstone or Fortress, as applicable, for election to fill the vacancy.

Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements

In addition, pursuant to certain Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements (the “Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements”), certain stockholders have agreed that they will not, during the period beginning on the effective time of the Merger and continuing to and including the date that is (i) in the case of 313 Acquisition, six months after the date of Closing, (ii) in the case of the Pedersen Holders, Dunn Holders, Summit Holders and Black Horse Holders (each as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), two years after the date of Closing and (iii) for all other Stockholder Parties, one year after the date of Closing, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock, or any interest in any of the foregoing (in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements). The Confidentiality and Lockup Agreements will become effective upon the consummation of the Merger.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Vivint Smart Home, Mosaic, 313 Acquisition and certain significant stockholders of Mosaic entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights

 

F-42


Table of Contents

MOSAIC ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement will become effective upon the consummation of the Merger. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, following the consummation of the Merger Mosaic agreed to provide to 313 Acquisition an unlimited number of “demand” registration rights and to provide to other stockholders customary “piggyback” registration rights. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that Mosaic will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the registration rights holders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act.

Support and Services Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mosaic, a subsidiary of Vivint Smart Home and Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”), an affiliate of Blackstone, entered into an amended and restated support and services agreement (as amended, the “Support and Services Agreement”), which amends and restates and existing agreement between Vivint Smart Home and BMP. The Support and Services Agreement will become effective upon the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the Support and Services Agreement, BMP has been engaged to provide, directly or indirectly, monitoring, advisory and consulting services that may be requested by Vivint Smart Home in the following areas: (1) advice regarding the structure, distribution and timing of debt and equity offerings and advice regarding relationships with Vivint Smart Home’s lenders and bankers, (2) advice regarding the structuring and implementation of equity participation plans, employee benefit plans and other incentive arrangements for certain of Vivint Smart Home’s key executives, (3) general advice regarding dispositions and/or acquisitions, (4) advice regarding the strategic direction of Vivint Smart Home’s business and (5) such other advice directly related or ancillary to the above advisory services as may be reasonably requested by Vivint Smart Home. In exchange for these services, Vivint Smart Home will pay an annual monitoring fee to BMP of 1% of consolidated EBITDA until upon the earlier of (1) the completion of Vivint Smart Home’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 or (2) the date upon which Blackstone owns less than 5% of the voting power of all of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of Vivint Smart Home or its direct or indirect controlling parent, and such stake has a fair market value (as determined by Blackstone) of less than $25 million.

Additionally, under the Support and Services Agreement, BMP will make available to Vivint Smart Home its portfolio operations group to provide support services customarily provided by Blackstone’s portfolio operations group to Blackstone’s private equity portfolio companies of a type and amount determined by such portfolio services group it its sole discretion to be warranted and appropriate. BMP may, at any time, choose not to provide any such services. Such services will be provided without charge, other than for the reimbursement of related out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BMP and its affiliates.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Fortress and Blackstone entered into the Subscription Agreements pursuant to which each of Fortress and Blackstone have respectively subscribed for 12,500,000 and 10,000,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock to be issued at the Closing. The obligations to consummate the Subscriptions are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has generated recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations and has substantial indebtedness subject to contractual terms that will accelerate maturity of such indebtedness if the Company has not made specified debt repayments prior to September 1, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09

As discussed in Note 2 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and its accounting for contract acquisition costs due to the adoption ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2011.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (“Parent”) is a holding company, and all operations are conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Parent and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (collectively the “Company”), is engaged in the sale, installation, servicing and monitoring of smart home and security systems, primarily in the United States and Canada. Parent, which is majority-owned by 313 Acquisition, LLC. (“313”), APX Group Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), which is wholly-owned by Parent, and APX Group, Inc. (“APX”), which is wholly-owned by Holdings, have no operations.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the Company’s estimates. The results of operations presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s results for any future period.

Going Concern

The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, if the Company does not make specified debt repayments prior to September 1, 2020, certain other indebtedness will become due and payable on that date as discussed below. The Company has historically generated recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations and may be unable to refinance its debt or make such specified debt repayments prior to September 1, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 5 and Note 19, certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain “springing maturity” provisions. Under the terms of these springing maturity provisions, if on September 1, 2020 more than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the 2022 notes and 2022 private placement notes will mature on September 1, 2020. If on September 1, 2020 more than $250.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the Revolving Credit Facility will also mature on September 1, 2020. In addition, if on September 1, 2020 more than $275.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the Term Loan and the 2024 notes will also mature on September 1, 2020. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $454.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes outstanding.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $3.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $140.3 million of availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Management may use a portion of the proceeds from the Merger discussed in Note 19 to repay some or all of the outstanding 2020 notes. If less than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes remain outstanding following such repayment, the maturity dates for the debt discussed above would not accelerate to September 1, 2020 from the original maturity dates disclosed in Note 5 and Note 19. There is no assurance that the Merger and the associated debt repayment will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. To the extent additional capital is not obtained through the Merger, management will seek other forms of financing, which may include issuance of additional equity or debt or other means of timely addressing the Company’s debt obligations. There is no assurance such other forms of financing will be available.

Vivint Flex Pay

In January 2017, the Company announced the introduction of the Vivint Flex Pay plan (“Vivint Flex Pay”), which became the Company’s primary sales model beginning in March 2017. Under Vivint Flex Pay, customers pay separately for the products (including control panel, security peripheral equipment, smart home equipment, and related installation) (“Products”) and Vivint’s smart home and security services (“Services”). The customer has the following three options to pay for the Products: (1) qualified customers in the United States may finance the purchase of Products through a third-party financing provider (“Consumer Financing Program”) (2) customers not eligible for the Consumer Financing Program, but who qualify under the Company’s underwriting criteria, may enter into a retail installment contract (“RIC”) directly with Vivint, or (3) customers may purchase the Products at the outset of the service contract by check, automatic clearing house payments (“ACH”), credit or debit card.

Although customers pay separately for the Products and Services under the Vivint Flex Pay plan, the Company has determined that the shift in its sales model does not change the Company’s conclusion that the sale of Products and Services are one single performance obligation. As a result, all forms of transactions under Vivint Flex Pay create deferred revenue for the gross amount of Products sold. Gross deferred revenues are reduced by imputed interest on the RICs and the present value of expected payments due to the third-party financing provider under the Consumer Financing Program.

Under the Consumer Financing Program, qualified customers are eligible for installment loans provided by a third-party financing provider of up to $4,000 for either 42 or 60 months. The Company pays a monthly fee to the third-party financing provider based on the average daily outstanding balance of the loans provided to our subscribers, and the Company shares the liability for credit losses, with the Company being responsible for between 5% to 100% of lost principal balances. Additionally, the Company is responsible for reimbursing the financing provider for the credit card transaction fees associated with the loans. Because of the nature of these provisions under the Consumer Financing Program, the Company records a derivative liability at its fair value when the third-party financing provider originates installment loans to customers, which reduces the amount of estimated revenue recognized on the provision of the services. The derivative liability is reduced as payments are made from the Company to the third-party financing provider. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the derivative liability are realized through other loss/(income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. (See Note 9).

Retail Installment Contract Receivables

For customers that enter into a RIC under the Vivint Flex Pay plan, the Company records a receivable for the amount financed. Gross RIC receivables are reduced for (i) expected write-offs of uncollectible balances over the term of the RIC and (ii) a present value discount of the expected cash flows using a risk adjusted market interest rate (together, the “RIC Discount”). Therefore, the RIC receivables equal the present value of the expected cash flows to be received by the Company over the term of the RIC. At the time of installation, the Company records a long-term note receivable within long-term notes receivables and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets for the present value of the receivables that are expected to be collected beyond 12 months of the reporting date. The unbilled receivable amounts that are expected to be collected within 12 months of the reporting date are included as a short-term notes receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The billed amounts of notes receivables are included in accounts receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company imputes the interest on the RIC receivable using a risk adjusted market interest rate and records it as an adjustment to deferred revenue and as an adjustment to the face amount of the related receivable. The risk adjusted interest rate considers a number of factors, including credit quality of the subscriber base and other qualitative considerations such as macro-economic factors. The imputed interest income is recognized over the term of the RIC contract as recurring and other revenue on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

F-52


Table of Contents

When the Company determines that there are RIC receivables that have become uncollectible, it records an adjustment to the RIC Discount and reduces the related note receivable balance. On a regular basis, the Company also assesses the level of the RIC Discount balance based on historical RIC write-off trends and adjusts the balance, if necessary. Account balances are written-off if collection efforts are unsuccessful and future collection is unlikely based on the length of time from the day accounts become past due. (See Note 4).

Revenue Recognition

The Company offers its customers smart home services combining Products, including a proprietary control panel, door and window sensors, door locks, security cameras and smoke alarms; installation; and a proprietary back-end cloud platform software and Services. These together create an integrated system that allows the Company’s customers to monitor, control and protect their home (“Smart Home Services”). The Company’s customers are buying this integrated system that provides them with these Smart Home Services. The number and type of Products purchased by a customer depends on their desired functionality. Because the Products and Services included in the customer’s contract are integrated and highly interdependent, and because they must work together to deliver the Smart Home Services, the Company has concluded that installed Products, related installation and Services contracted for by the customer are generally not distinct within the context of the contract and, therefore, constitute a single, combined performance obligation. Revenues for this single, combined performance obligation are recognized on a straight-line basis over the customer’s contract term, which is the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. The Company has determined that certain contracts that do not require a long-term commitment for monitoring services by the customer contain a material right to renew the contract, because the customer does not have to purchase Products upon renewal. Proceeds allocated to the material right are recognized over the period benefit, which is generally three years.

The majority of the Company’s subscription contracts are between three and five years in length and are non-cancelable. These contracts with customers generally convert into month-to-month agreements at the end of the initial term, and some customer contracts are month-to-month from inception. Payment for recurring monitoring and other Smart Home Services is generally due in advance on a monthly basis.

Sales of Products and other one-time fees such as service fees or installation fees are invoiced to the customer at the time of sale. Revenues for wireless internet service provided by Vivint Wireless Inc. (“Wireless Internet” or “Wireless”) and any Products or Services that are considered separate performance obligations are recognized when those Products or Services are delivered. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue. Payments received or amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue.

Deferred Revenue

The Company’s deferred revenues primarily consist of amounts for sales (including upfront proceeds) of Smart Home Services. Deferred revenues are recognized over the term of the related performance obligation.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from customers for recurring monthly monitoring Services and the billed portion of RIC receivables. The accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and are non-interest bearing and are included within accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable totaled $24.3 million and $16.5 million at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $5.4 million and $5.6 million at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company estimates this allowance based on historical collection experience and subscriber attrition rates. When the Company determines that there are accounts receivable that are uncollectible, they are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in

general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and totaled $22.5 million and $19.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

Restructuring and asset impairment charges represent expenses incurred in relation to activities to exit or dispose of portions of the Company’s business that do not qualify as discontinued operations. Liabilities associated with restructuring are measured at their fair value when the liability is incurred. Expenses for related termination benefits are recognized at the date the Company notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Liabilities related to termination of a contract are measured and recognized at fair value when the contract does not have any future economic benefit to the entity and the fair value of the liability is determined based on the present value of the remaining obligation. The Company expenses all other costs related to an exit or disposal activity as incurred (See Note 10).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Capitalized Contract Costs

Capitalized contract costs represent the costs directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related customer contracts. These include commissions, other compensation and related costs incurred directly for the origination and installation of new or upgraded customer contracts, as well as the cost of Products installed in the customer home at the commencement or modification of the contract. The Company calculates amortization by accumulating all deferred contract costs into separate portfolios based on the initial month of service and amortizes those deferred contract costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit that the Company has determined to be five years, consistent with the pattern in which the Company provides services to its customers. The Company believes this pattern of amortization appropriately reduces the carrying value of the capitalized contract costs over time to reflect the decline in the value of the assets as the remaining period of benefit for each monthly portfolio of contracts decreases. The period of benefit of five years is longer than a typical contract term because of anticipated contract renewals. The Company applies this period of benefit to its entire portfolio of contracts. The Company updates its estimate of the period of benefit periodically and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the period of benefit could change significantly. Such changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate. Amortization of capitalized contract costs is included in “Depreciation and Amortization” on the consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs is periodically reviewed for impairment. In performing this review, the Company considers whether the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs will be recovered. In estimating the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in the future related to

 

F-54


Table of Contents

capitalized contract costs, the Company considers factors such as attrition rates, economic factors, and industry developments, among other factors. If it is determined that capitalized contract costs are impaired, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs and the anticipated costs that relate directly to providing the future services exceed the consideration that has been received and that is expected to be received in the future.

Contract costs not directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related customer contracts are expensed as incurred. These costs include those associated with housing, marketing and recruiting, non-direct lead generation costs, certain portions of sales commissions and residuals, overhead and other costs considered not directly and specifically tied to the origination of a particular subscriber.

On the consolidated statement of cash flows, capitalized contract costs are classified as operating activities and reported as “Capitalized contract costs—deferred contract costs” as these assets represent deferred costs associated with customer contracts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of highly liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less.

Inventories

Inventories, which are comprised of smart home and security system equipment and parts are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company adjusts the inventory balance based on anticipated obsolescence, usage and historical write-offs.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Long-lived Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term for assets under capital leases, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the remaining estimated economic life of the underlying technology or relationships, which ranges from 5 to 10 years. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or in a pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Amortization expense associated with leased assets is included with depreciation expense. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, capitalized contract costs, and definite-lived intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers whether or not indicators of impairment exist on a regular basis and as part of each quarterly and annual financial statement close process. Factors the Company considers in determining whether or not indicators of impairment exist include market factors and patterns of customer attrition. If indicators of impairment are identified, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

The Company conducts an indefinite-lived intangible impairment analysis annually as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles may be less than the carrying amount. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, the Company is able to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, the Company’s quantitative impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that the Company compare the estimated fair value of its indefinite-lived intangibles to the

Table of Contents

carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, the intangibles are not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to the difference is recorded.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, no impairments to long-lived assets or intangibles were recorded.

The Company’s depreciation and amortization included in the consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following (in thousands):

Wireless Spectrum Licenses

The Company had capitalized as an intangible asset wireless spectrum licenses that were acquired from third parties. The cost basis of the wireless spectrum asset includes the purchase price paid for the licenses at the time of acquisition, plus costs incurred to acquire the licenses. The asset and related liability were recorded at the net present value of future cash outflows using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the time of acquisition.

The Company determined that the wireless spectrum licenses met the definition of indefinite-lived intangible assets because the licenses were able to be renewed periodically for a nominal fee, provided that the Company continued to meet the service and geographic coverage provisions. In January 2018, the Company terminated the wireless spectrum licenses for cash consideration. See Note 8 for further discussion.

Long-term Investments

The Company’s long-term investments are composed of equity securities in both privately held and public companies. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company’s equity investments totaled $3.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Management determines the appropriate fair value measurement of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the fair value measurement at each balance sheet date. Equity securities, are classified as either short-term or long-term, based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations. The Company’s equity securities are carried at fair value, with gains and losses, reported in other income or loss within the statement of operations

The Company’s equity investments without readily determinable fair values as of both December 31, 2017 and 2018 totaled $0.7 million. The Company performs impairment analyzes of its cost based investments when events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the investment below its carrying value. When indicators of impairment do not exist, the Company evaluates impairment using a qualitative approach. Additionally, increases or decreases in the carrying amount resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer are adjusted through the statement of operations as needed. As of December 31, 2018, no indicators of impairment or changes in observable prices existed associated with investments without readily determinable fair values.

Deferred Financing Costs

Certain costs incurred in connection with obtaining debt financing are deferred and amortized utilizing the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest method, over the life of the related financing. Deferred financing costs associated with obtaining APX’s revolving credit facility are amortized over the amended maturity dates discussed in Note 5. If such financing is paid off or replaced prior to maturity with debt instruments that have substantially different terms, the unamortized costs are charged to expense. Deferred financing costs included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within deferred financing costs, net at December 31, 2017 and 2018 were $3.1 million and $2.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of $8.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Deferred financing costs included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within notes payable, net at December 31, 2017 and 2018 were $35.7 million and $32.4 million, net of accumulated amortization of $45.2 million and $54.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense on deferred financing costs recognized and included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations totaled $11.6 million, $11.4 million and $10.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Offering Costs

Specific incremental costs (i.e. consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs) directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. In the event a planned offering of securities does not occur or is significantly delayed, all of the costs are expensed. There were $3.4 million of offering costs capitalized as of December 31, 2017, in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Offering costs of $4.7 million were expensed to general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2018 when offering plans were delayed.

Residual Income Plans

The Company has a program that allows certain third-party sales channel partners to receive additional compensation based on the performance of the underlying contracts they create (the “Channel Partner Plan”). In addition, in 2018, the Company introduced a new residual sales compensation plan (the “Residual Plan”). Under the Residual Plan, the Company’s sales personnel (each, a “Plan Participant”) have the option to convert up to a specified portion of their earnings (as defined in the Residual Plan) into the right to receive monthly residual compensation payable over the life of the subscriber accounts sold by such Plan Participant.

For both the Channel Partner Plan and Residual Plan, the Company calculates the present value of the expected future residual payments and records a liability for this amount in the period the subscriber account is originated. These costs are recorded to capitalized contract costs. The Company monitors actual payments and customer attrition on a periodic basis and, when necessary, makes adjustments to the liability. The amount included in accrued payroll and commissions was $3.3 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and the amount included in other long-term obligations was $18.5 million and $13.0 million at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, representing the present value of the estimated amounts owed to third-party sales channel partners.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the requisite service period of the awards (See Note 12).

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $33.0 million, $42.5 million and $47.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the effect of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties is to record such items as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. The Company records the effect of a tax rate or law change on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. Future tax rate or law changes could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows (See Note 11).

Contracts Sold

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold all of its New Zealand and Puerto Rico subscriber contracts and ceased operations in these geographical regions (“2016 Contract Sales”). As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company recorded the impact of these transactions in restructuring and asset impairment (See Note 10).

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of receivables and cash. At times during the year, the Company maintains cash balances in excess of insured limits. The Company is not dependent on any single customer or geographic location. The loss of a customer would not adversely impact the Company’s operating results or financial position.

Concentrations of Supply Risk

As of December 31, 2018, approximately 80% of the Company’s installed panels were SkyControl panels and 19% were 2GIG Go!Control panels. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 the Company transitioned to a new panel supplier. The loss of the Company’s panel supplier could potentially impact its operating results or financial position.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to on-going fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

 

F-58


Table of Contents

This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial measurements at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

Goodwill

The Company conducts a goodwill impairment analysis annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units may be less than their carrying amounts. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, the Company is able to evaluate goodwill impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, the Company’s quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that the Company compare the estimated fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of its net assets, the Company would be required to complete the second step of the test by analyzing the fair value of its goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. The Company’s reporting units are determined based on its current reporting structure, which as of December 31, 2018 consisted of two reporting units. The Company found that no indicators of goodwill impairment existed during the year ended December 31, 2018, thus a qualitative approach was used and it was determined that no impairment existed for goodwill.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, no impairments to goodwill were recorded.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

The functional currencies of Vivint Canada, Inc. and Vivint New Zealand, Ltd. are the Canadian and New Zealand dollars, respectively. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end rates and revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from this translation process are classified as other comprehensive (loss) income and shown as a separate component of equity. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed the 2016 Contract Sales which included all contracts in the New Zealand, Ltd. entity. (See Note 10)

When intercompany foreign currency transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements are of a long term investment nature (i.e., those for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from those transactions are included in stockholders’ (deficit) equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss or income. When intercompany transactions are deemed to be of a short term nature, translation adjustments are required to be included in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company has determined that settlement of Vivint Canada, Inc. and Vivint New Zealand, Ltd. intercompany balances are anticipated and therefore such balances are deemed to be of a short-term nature. Translation activity included in the statements of operations in other loss, net related to intercompany balances was a gain of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a gain of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, and a loss of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Letters of Credit

As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company had $9.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively, of letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, all of which are undrawn.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and plans to provide additional information about its expected impact at a future date.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” to increase transparency and comparability among organizations as it relates to lease assets and lease liabilities. The update requires that lease assets and lease liabilities be recognized on the balance sheet, and that key information about leasing arrangements be disclosed. Prior to this update, GAAP did not require operating leases to be recognized as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective approach and using certain practical expedients. The adoption of the standard resulted in recording ROU assets of $75.5 million and lease liabilities of $85.9 million as of January 1, 2019. The ROU assets are lower than the lease liabilities as existing deferred rent and lease incentive liabilities were recorded against the ROU assets at adoption in accordance with the standard. The standard did not materially affect the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The standard also resulted in a reassessment that a sale would have occurred at January 1, 2019 for the Company’s build-to-suit building. As a result, the Company classifies the leasing arrangement as an operating lease. The recognition of the sale-leaseback transaction resulted in an immaterial amount recorded to opening equity.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-01

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10),” which enhances the reporting model for financial instruments by addressing certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Key provisions require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). In addition, the exit price notion must be used when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase accumulated deficit by $0.7 million for the net unrealized losses within accumulated other comprehensive income related to equity investments. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss of $0.3 million, respectively, to other income associated with the change in fair value of equity investments.

ASU 2014-09

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).” Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, Topic 606 requires enhanced disclosures, including disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Topic 606 also includes

 

F-60


Table of Contents

Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, the Company refers to Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the “new standard”.

The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition (the cumulative catch-up transition method). Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to the accounting policies for revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and capitalized contract costs (formerly subscriber acquisition costs). The cumulative effect of applying the new standard to all contracts with customers that were not completed as of January 1, 2018 was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 605. See Note 3 “Revenue and Capitalized Contract Costs” for additional information related to the impact of adopting this standard and a discussion of the Company’s updated policies related to revenue recognition and accounting for costs to obtain and fulfill a customer contract.

3. Revenue and Capitalized Contract Costs

Subscribers are typically invoiced for Smart Home Services monthly in advance or at the time the Company delivers the related Smart Home Services. The majority of subscribers pay at the time of invoice via credit card, debit card or ACH. The Company does not generally record any contract assets. The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments (or other consideration) are received or due in advance of performance of the Company’s obligations, including amounts which are refundable.

The increase in the deferred revenue balance during the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, offset by $144.1 million of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2017.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2018, approximately $2.2 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for existing subscription contracts over the remaining contract term and excludes the effect of any cancellations. The Company expects to recognize approximately 62.5% of the revenue related to these remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, with the remaining balance recognized over an additional 36 months.

Financial Statement Impact of Adopting Topic 606

The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. The cumulative effect of applying the new standard to all contracts with subscribers that were not completed as of January 1, 2018 was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. As a result of applying the modified retrospective method to adopt the new revenue guidance, the following cumulative catch-up adjustments were made to select consolidated balance sheet line items as of January 1, 2018 (in thousands):

Timing of Revenue Recognition

The Company previously recognized certain service and other sales revenue when the Services were provided or when title to Products sold transferred to the subscriber. Revenue from the sale of Products that were not part of the service offering (i.e., those Products sold subsequent to the date of the initial installation) were also generally recognized upon delivery of Products. Under the new standard, the Company considers Products, related installation, and its proprietary back-end cloud platform software and services an integrated system that allows the Company’s subscribers to monitor, control and protect their homes. These Smart Home Services are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is recognized over the subscriber’s contract term.

 

F-63


Table of Contents

Accordingly, the Company now defers a larger portion of certain Smart Home Services revenue, as prior to the adoption of Topic 606 certain of this revenue was recognized at the time services were provided or upon delivery.

The Company previously amortized deferred revenues related to sales of Products and activation fees on subscriber contracts over the expected life of the customer, which was 15 years using a 240% declining balance method. Under the new standard, revenues related to sales of Products and activation fees are included in the transaction price allocated to the single Smart Home Service performance obligation and recognized straight-line over the subscriber’s contract term, which is generally three to five years.

Capitalized Contract Costs

Capitalized contract costs generally include commissions, other compensation and related costs incurred directly for the generation and installation of new or modified subscriber contracts, as well as the cost of Products installed in the subscriber’s home at the commencement or modification of the contract. The Company previously deferred and amortized these costs for new subscriber contracts in the same manner as deferred revenue and generally expensed all costs associated with modified subscriber contracts. Under the new standard, the Company defers and amortizes these costs for new or modified subscriber contracts on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit of five years.

4. Retail Installment Contract Receivables

Certain subscribers have the option to purchase Products under a RIC, payable over either 42 or 60 months. Short-term RIC receivables are recorded in accounts and notes receivable, net and long-term RIC receivables are recorded in long-term notes receivables and other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

2022 Private Placement Notes

In October 2015, APX issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior secured notes due 2022 (the “2022 private placement notes”), pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated as of October 19, 2015 in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The 2022 private placement notes will mature on December 1, 2022, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provisions, on September 1, 2020 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $190.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the note purchase agreement for the 2022 private placement notes, in which case the 2022 private placement notes will mature on September 1, 2020. The 2022 private placement notes are secured, on a pari passu basis, by the collateral securing obligations under the 2019 notes, the 2022 private placement notes, the 2022 notes (as defined below), and the 2023 notes (as defined below), and the revolving credit facilities and the Term Loan (as defined below), in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

In May 2016, the Company repurchased $29.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2022 private placement notes.

2022 Notes

In May 2016, APX issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior secured notes due 2022 (the “2022 notes”), pursuant to an indenture dated as of May 26, 2016 among APX, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent.

passu lien indebtedness. The 2022 notes are secured, on a pari passu basis, by the collateral securing obligations under the 2019 notes and 2022 private placement notes, the revolving credit facilities and the Term Loan, in all cases, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. APX used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 notes to repurchase approximately $235 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2019 notes and 2022 private placement notes in privately negotiated transactions and repaid borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility.

In August 2016, APX issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 notes at a price of 104.00%.

In February 2017, APX issued an additional $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 notes at a price of 108.25% (“February 2017 issuance”). A portion of the net proceeds from the offering of these 2022 notes were used to redeem $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the existing 2019 notes and pay the related accrued interest and redemption premium, and to pay all fees and expenses related thereto and any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

2023 Notes

In August 2017, APX issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.625% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 notes” and, together with the 2019 notes, the 2020 notes and the 2022 private placement notes, the “Notes”) (“August 2017 issuance”). The proceeds from the outstanding 2023 notes offering were used to redeem $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2019 notes and pay the related accrued interest and redemption premium, and to pay all fees and expenses related thereto. Any remaining net proceeds have been or will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

All of the obligations under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the Term Loan (defined below) and the debt agreements governing the Existing Notes are guaranteed by APX Group Holdings, Inc. and each of APX Group, Inc.’s existing and future material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries. However, such subsidiaries shall only be required to guarantee the obligations under the debt agreements governing the Existing Notes for so long as such entities guarantee the obligations under the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the Term Loan or the Company’s other indebtedness. Interest accrues at the rate of 8.75% per annum for the 2020 notes, 8.875% per annum for the 2022 private placement notes, 7.875% per annum for the 2022 notes and 7.625% per annum for the 2023 notes.

Interest on the 2023 notes is payable semiannually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1. APX may redeem the Existing Notes at the prices and on the terms specified in the applicable indenture, note purchase agreement or credit agreement.

Term Loan

In September 2018, APX entered into a credit agreement (the “September 2018 issuance”) for total term loans of $810.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments under the Term Loan in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loan outstanding on the closing date thereof. The remaining principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan will be due and payable in full on March 31, 2024, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provisions, (1) on September 1, 2020 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the credit agreement for the Term Loan, in which case the Term Loan will mature on September 1, 2020 or (2) on June 1, 2023 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2023 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million of such 2023 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the credit agreement for the Term Loan, in which case the Term Loan will mature on June 1, 2023. The net proceeds from the Term Loan were used in-part to redeem in full the entire $269.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2019 notes and

pay the related accrued interest and redemption premium, to repurchase approximately $250.7 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 notes, to repay the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the Term Loan and the transactions described above.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) the base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% or (2) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate for dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. The applicable margin for base rate-based borrowings is 4.0% per annum and the applicable margin for LIBOR rate-based borrowings is 5.0% per annum. APX may prepay the Term Loan at the prices and on the terms specified in the credit agreement covering the Term Loan.

Debt Modifications and Extinguishments

In accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company performed analyses for the September 2018, August 2017 and February 2017 issuances to determine if the notes repurchased with the proceeds from those issuances were substantially different than the notes issued to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of associated issuance fees. As a result of these analyses, the Company recorded the following amounts of other expense and loss on extinguishment and deferred financing costs during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 16, 2012, APX entered into a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a five year maturity. On March 6, 2015, APX amended and restated the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to provide for, among other things, (1) an increase in the aggregate commitments previously available to APX thereunder from $200.0 million to $289.4 million (“Revolving Commitments”) and (2) the extension of the maturity date with respect to certain of the previously available commitments. On August 10, 2017, APX further amended and restated the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to provide for, among other things, (1) an increase in the aggregate commitments previously available to the Company from $289.4 million to $324.3 million and (2) the extension of the maturity date with respect to certain of the previously available commitments.

Borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at APX’s option, either (1) the base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% or (2) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate for dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. The applicable margin for base rate-based borrowings (1)(a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments of approximately $267.0 million and Series D Revolving Commitments of approximately $15.4 million is currently 2.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments of approximately $21.2 million is currently 3.0% and (2)(a) the applicable margin for LIBOR rate-based borrowings (a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments, Series C Revolving Commitments, and Series D Revolving Commitments is currently 3.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments is currently 4.0%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is subject to one step-down of 25 basis points based on APX meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test at the end of each fiscal quarter. In November 2017, previous commitments of $20.8 million under the Series C Revolving Commitments had expired. Outstanding borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility are allocated on a pro-rata basis between each Series based on the total Revolving Commitments.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the revolving credit facility, APX is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee (which will be subject to one interest rate step-down of 12.5 basis points, based on APX meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test) to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. APX also pays customary letter of credit and agency fees.

APX is not required to make any scheduled amortization payments under the revolving credit facility. The principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable in full on March 31, 2021, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provisions, on September 1, 2020 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the credit agreement, in which case the principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will mature on September 1, 2020.

In June 2016, the Company entered into a non-cancellable lease to occupy a new building constructed in Logan, UT as a location to further sales recruitment and training, as well as conduct research and development (the “Logan Facility”). Because of its involvement in certain aspects of the construction of the Logan Facility, per the terms of the lease, the Company was deemed the owner of the building for accounting purposes during the construction period. Accordingly, the Company recorded a build-to-suit lease asset and a corresponding build-to-suit lease liability during the construction period.

In April 2017, construction on the Logan Facility was completed and the Company commenced occupancy. In accordance with ASC 840-40 Sale-Leaseback Transactions, the building did not qualify for sale-leaseback treatment. As such, the Company retains the building asset and corresponding lease obligation on the balance sheet.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Vivint Wireless entered into leasing agreements with Nextlink Wireless, LLC (“Nextlink”) for designated radio frequency spectrum in 40 mid-sized metropolitan markets. The lease term was for seven years, with an option to become the licensor of record with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) with respect to the applicable spectrum licenses at the end of this initial term for a nominal fee. The Company acquired $31.3 million of spectrum licenses, measured using the present value of the lease payments, and recorded an intangible asset and a corresponding liability within other long-term obligations. While licenses are issued for only a fixed time, such licenses are subject to renewal by the FCC.

On January 10, 2018, Vivint Wireless and Verizon consummated the transactions contemplated by a termination agreement to which the parties agreed, among other things, to terminate the spectrum leases between Vivint Wireless and Nextlink, a subsidiary of Verizon, in exchange for a cash payment by Verizon to Vivint Wireless. The calculation of the gain recorded included cash proceeds of $55.0 million, extinguishment of the spectrum license liability of $27.9 million, offset by the write-off of the spectrum license asset in the amount of $31.3 million and regulatory costs associated with the sale of $1.3 million for a total net gain on sale of $50.4 million which is included in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company added $2.0 million and $1.7 million of intangibles related to patents, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $116.9 million, $101.8 million and $90.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.0 million, an unrealized loss of $1.3 million and an unrealized loss of $0.3 million, respectively associated with the change in fair value of the investee’s stock. As of December 31, 2018 the Company had no accumulated other comprehensive income associated with unrealized gains and losses for the change in fair value of the investment as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-01. The balance of accumulated other comprehensive income associated with unrealized gains and losses for the change in fair value totaled net losses of $0.3 million at December 31, 2017.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values.

The fair value of the 2019 notes, 2020 notes, 2022 private placement notes, 2022 notes and the 2023 notes are fixed-rate debt and are considered Level 2 measurements as the value was determined using observable market inputs, such as current interest rates as well as prices observable from less active markets. The Term Loan is floating-rate debt and approximates the carrying value as interest accrues at floating rates based on market rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Under the Consumer Financing Program, the Company pays a monthly fee to a third-party financing provider based on the average daily outstanding balance of the installment loans and shares the liability for credit losses, depending on the credit quality of the customer. Because of the nature of certain provisions under the Consumer Financing Program, the Company records a derivative liability that is not designated as a hedging instrument and is adjusted to fair value, measured using the present value of the estimated future payments. Changes to the fair value are recorded through other (income) loss, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following represent the contractual obligations with the third-party financing provider under the Consumer Financing Program that are components of the derivative:

 

   

The Company pays a monthly fee based on the average daily outstanding balance of the installment loans

 

   

The Company shares the liability for credit losses depending on the credit quality of the customer

 

   

The Company pays transactional fees associated with customer payment processing

The derivative is classified as a Level 3 instrument. The derivative positions are valued using a discounted cash flow model, with inputs consisting of available market data, such as market yield discount rates, as well as unobservable internally derived assumptions, such as collateral prepayment rates, collateral default rates and loss severity rates. These derivatives are priced quarterly using a credit valuation adjustment methodology. In summary, the fair value represents an estimate of the present value of the cash flows the Company will be obligated to pay to the third-party financing provider for each component of the derivative.

10. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

Restructuring

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company announced a number of cost reduction initiatives that are expected to reduce certain of the Company’s General and Administrative, Customer Service, and Sales Support fixed costs. The Company completed the majority of these cost reduction initiatives in the second and third quarters of 2018, with the remainder by the end of 2018. In addition to resulting in meaningful cost reductions, the Company’s initiatives are expected to streamline operations, focus engineering and innovation and provide a better focus on driving customer satisfaction.

As part of these initiatives, the Company and Best Buy agreed in principle to end the co-branded Best Buy Smart Home by Vivint arrangement (“Best Buy Agreement”), which resulted in the elimination of in-store sales positions. In addition, the Company eliminated other general and administrative positions. These actions resulted in one-time cash employee severance and termination benefits expenses of $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company formally terminated its relationship with Best Buy in December 2018 and agreed to pay a termination fee of $5.5 million. The difference between the termination fee and all previously recorded liabilities relating to the Company’s Best Buy Agreement was recorded as a reduction to capitalized contract costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold all of its New Zealand and Puerto Rico contracts and recorded the impact of these transactions in restructuring and asset impairment. The calculation of the net loss recorded related to the 2016 Contract Sales included the expensing of all unamortized deferred subscriber acquisition costs associated with these subscriber accounts in the amount of $7.6 million, the realization of outstanding amounts of accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the New Zealand

U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2026, if not used. State net operating loss carryforwards expire over different periods and some have already begun to expire. The Company had United States research and development credits of approximately $41,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2018, which begin to expire in 2030.

Canadian net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2029.

Realization of the Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although a portion of these net operating loss carryforwards are subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the Company has not performed a formal study to determine the amount of any limitation. The use of the net operating loss carryforwards may have additional limitations resulting from future ownership changes or other factors under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of Tax Reform. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment

 

F-78


Table of Contents

date for companies to complete the accounting relating to Tax Reform under ASC Topic 740. In accordance with SAB 118, to the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of Tax Reform is incomplete, but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, the company should report a provisional estimate in its financial statements. Where a reasonable estimate cannot be determined, a company should continue to apply ASC Topic 740 based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of Tax Reform.

The SAB 118 period has closed and, based on its analysis of Tax Reform, the Company did not change its recorded provisional tax expense of $166.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, resulting from the remeasurement of its deferred tax balances due to the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. This expense was offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance, resulting in no change in net tax expense or benefit.

Additionally, the Company’s analysis of the new requirement that certain income (i.e., GILTI) earned by foreign subsidiaries must be included currently in the gross income of the U.S. resulted in an inclusion amount of approximately $7.7 million in 2018. The Company has elected to treat taxes due on future inclusions in U.S. taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred.

At December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as it believes it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, recording valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions. The Company has considered and weighed the available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on available information, management does not believe it is more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets will be utilized. The Company recorded a valuation allowance for U.S. net deferred tax assets of approximately $303.3 million and $467.7 million at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s income tax returns for the tax years 2014 and later, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities.

12. Stock-Based Compensation and Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

313 Incentive Units

The Company’s indirect parent, 313 Acquisition LLC (“313”), which is wholly owned by the Investors, has authorized the award of profits interests, representing the right to share a portion of the value appreciation on the initial capital contributions to 313 (“Incentive Units”). As of December 31, 2018, a total of 85,362,836 Incentive Units had been awarded, and were outstanding, to current and former members of senior management and a board member, of which 42,169,456 were issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. In June 2018, the Incentive Units and SARs (defined below) vesting terms were modified (“Modification”). Prior to the Modification, the Incentive Units were subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date and (2) two-thirds subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by The Blackstone Group, L.P. and its affiliates (“Blackstone”). Pursuant to the Modification the Incentive Units are subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date, (2) one-third subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone and (3) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date or June 2018 for those granted prior to the modification. The Company has not recorded any expense related to the performance-based portion of the awards, as the achievement of the vesting condition is not yet deemed probable. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding Incentive Units with time-based vesting conditions will become fully vested and exercisable.

 

F-79


Table of Contents

The fair value of stock-based awards is measured at the grant date, or the Modification date, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The grant date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation approach with the following assumptions: expected volatility varies from 55% to 125%; expected exercise term between 3.96 and 6.00 years; and risk-free rate between 0.61% and 2.61%.

As of December 31, 2018, there was $10.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding Incentive Units, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.29 years. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of the outstanding incentive units was $0.30 and $0.36, respectively.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company’s subsidiary, Vivint Group, Inc. (“Vivint Group”), has awarded Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to various levels of key employees and board members, pursuant to an omnibus incentive plan. The purpose of the SARs is to attract and retain personnel and provide an opportunity to acquire an equity interest of Vivint Group. Prior to the Modification in June 2018, the SARs were subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date and (2) two-thirds subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone. Pursuant to the Modification the Incentive Units are subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date, (2) one-third subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone and (3) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date or June 2018 for those granted prior to the modification. The Company has not recorded any expense related to the performance-based portion of the awards, as the achievement of the vesting condition is not yet deemed probable. In connection with this plan, 38,011,879 SARs were outstanding as of December 31, 2018. In addition, 53,621,891 SARs have been set aside for funding incentive compensation pools pursuant to long-term sales and installation employee incentive plans established by the Company. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding SARs with time-based vesting conditions will become fully vested and exercisable. The Company expects to settle SARs through issuance of common stock.

The fair value of the Vivint Group awards is measured at the grant date, or the Modification date, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: expected volatility varies from 55% to 125%, expected dividends of 0%; expected exercise term between 6.00 and 6.50 years; and risk-free rates between 0.61% and 2.61%. Due to the lack of historical exercise data, the Company used the simplified method in determining the estimated exercise term, for all Vivint Group awards.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of the outstanding SARs was $0.19 and $0.23, respectively.

The Company’s subsidiary, Vivint Wireless, has also awarded an immaterial amount of Wireless SARs to various employees. There were no Wireless SARs outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and the Company does not intend to issue any additional Wireless SARs.

Restricted Stock Units

In June 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Vivint Group, awarded 360,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to certain board members, pursuant to an omnibus incentive plan. The purpose of the RSUs is to compensate board members for their board service and align their interests of those of the Company’s shareholders. The RSUs are subject to a three year time-based ratable vesting period. All RSUs are expected to vest after December 31, 2018 and none are exercisable at December 31, 2018. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding RSUs will become fully vested.

The fair value of the RSU awards, representing the estimated equity value per share of Vivint Group at the grant date, is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The fair value was determined using management’s financial projections and available market data at the time of issuance. As of December 31, 2018, there was $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs, which will be recognized over a period of 2.44 years.

Total stock-based compensation increased in 2018, partially as a result of the Modification. Stock-based compensation expense presented in selling expenses was negative for the year ended December 31, 2016 due to a retrospective adjustment in the grant-date fair value of a series of stock-based awards. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 included $2.2 million of compensation related to an equity repurchase by 313 from one of the Company’s executives.

Equity

Common Stock

The Company had 2,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock authorized, of which 1,003,587 and 1,006,290 shares were legally issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the the Company’s board of directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have been declared or paid on our common stock through December 31, 2018.

Convertible Preferred Stock

During 2016, the Company authorized 400,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 100,000 shares were designated as convertible preferred series A stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). During 2016, the Company issued 79,791 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for $100.4 million, net of issuance costs.

The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock have various rights, preferences, and privileges as follows:

Conversion Rights

At any time, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder’s option and by delivery of written notice to the Company, to convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including any fraction of a share) into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). The default conversion rate is one share of Common Stock for every converted share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Rate”), which Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive events.

Series A Preferred Stock holders are also granted conversion rights in the event of a reclassification, statutory exchange, merger, consolidation or other similar business combination, including the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Where such a transaction involves the exchange or conversion of Common Stock for or into other securities, cash or property, Series A Preferred Stock will automatically become convertible into the number, kind and amount of such other securities, cash or property as though the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock had converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction.

Anti-Dilution

The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment in the case of the issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all outstanding holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision, split or combination of Common Stock or a reclassification of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock.

Voting Rights

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of the holders of Common Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be

 

F-82


Table of Contents

entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share of Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, as calculated at the then effective Conversion Rate at the time of the related record date.

The Company shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (1) amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation, (2) issue to Blackstone any class or series of Capital Stock that is or would be Senior Stock or that is or would be capital stock of any Subsidiary, (3) issue to Blackstone any debt instrument that has any equity-like features or is entitled to any return tied to equity value or the repayment amount of which at issuance is in excess of the sum of the amount of cash plus the face amount, including accrued interest, of debt of the Company, in either case, that is tendered as payment for such debt instruments; or (4) issue any class or series of shares, interests, rights to purchase, warrants, options, participations or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) stock issued by the Company that is or would be, in general, in parity with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Participating Dividends

If the board of directors of the Company shall declare a dividend or other distribution payable upon the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, whether in cash or in other securities or property, the Company shall also declare and pay to each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend or distribution, as the case may be, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, the amount and kind of dividends or distributions as would be payable in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Rights

Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of stock having priority liquidation preferences, if any, and before any distribution or payment is made to holders of Common Stock, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of the legally available assets of the Company and proceeds thereof, equal to the greater of (1) $1,267.00 less the amount of any cash dividends and less the fair market value of any non-cash dividends or distributions, in each case previously paid to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to certain dividend declarations or other distributions (the “Unreturned Basis”) or (2) the amount of cash and fair market value of any securities or other property that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock would have received in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder had such holder, immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, converted its shares into shares of Common Stock (at the conversion rate of one share of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments). If the assets of the Company or proceeds therefrom are not sufficient to pay in full the Unreturned Basis payable on the Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding liquidation preference amounts payable on stock with equally ranked priority liquidation preferences, if any, then such assets or proceeds thereof will be paid pro rata in accordance with the amounts that would otherwise have been payable on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other shares.

Return of Capital

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company returned capital of $20.9 million to 313 and $0.2 million to certain other investors.

Capital Contribution

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification

Subject to certain limitations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers and employees with respect to certain litigation matters and investigations that arise in connection with their service to the Company. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and Delaware and California law. The obligation to indemnify generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse these individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with these matters.

Legal

The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business related to its sales, marketing, and the provision of its services and equipment claims. Actions filed against the Company include commercial, intellectual property, customer, and labor and employment related claims, including complaints of alleged wrongful termination and potential class action lawsuits regarding alleged violations of federal and state wage and hour and other laws. In addition, from time to time the Company is subject to examinations, investigations and/or enforcement actions by federal and state licensing and regulatory agencies and may face the risk of penalties for violation of financial services, consumer protections and other applicable laws and regulations. For example, in 2019, the Company received a subpoena in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) concerning potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”). The Company also has received a civil investigative demand from the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and the “Red Flags Rule” thereunder, and the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”). In general, litigation and regulatory proceedings can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial. The Company believes the amounts provided in its financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimated liabilities. Factors that the Company considers in the determination of the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the range of that loss in respect of legal matters include the merits of a particular matter, the nature of the matter, the length of time the matter has been pending, the procedural posture of the matter, how the Company intends to defend the matter, the likelihood of settling the matter and the anticipated range of a possible settlement. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties, the ultimate outcomes are not predictable and there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from the matters described above will not exceed the amounts reflected in the Company’s financial statements or that the matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal claims and actions to determine if reserves for expected negative outcomes of such claims and actions are necessary. The Company had reserves for all such matters of approximately $2.2 million and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company accrued $10.0 million related to the settlement of litigation with ADT Inc. included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company paid the full amount in early 2018.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office and warehouse space, certain equipment, towers, wireless spectrum, software and an aircraft under operating leases with related and unrelated parties expiring in various years through 2028. The leases require the Company to pay additional rent for increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes and contain renewal options. Total rent expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 was $16.0 million, $17.0 million and $16.5 million, respectively.

 

F-84


Table of Contents

Capital Leases

The Company also enters into certain capital leases with expiration dates through May 2022. On an ongoing basis, the Company enters into vehicle lease agreements under a Fleet Lease Agreement. The lease agreements are typically 36 months leases for each vehicle and the average remaining life for the fleet is 19 months as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the capital lease obligation balance was $21.7 million and $13.3 million, respectively.

Spectrum Licenses

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Vivint Wireless, Inc. (“Vivint Wireless”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into leasing agreements with Nextlink Wireless, LLC (“Nextlink”) for designated radio frequency spectrum in 40 mid-sized metropolitan markets. In December 2017, Vivint Wireless entered into a Termination Agreement with Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to terminate certain spectrum leases, including the 40 aforementioned leasing agreements, between Vivint Wireless and Nextlink, a subsidiary of Verizon, in exchange for cash consideration. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Termination Agreement with Verizon. See Note 8 for further discussion.

As of December 31, 2018, future minimum lease payments were as follows (in thousands):

In 2017, the Company and Solar entered into a Sales Dealer Agreement (the “Sales Dealer Agreement”), pursuant to which each party will act as a non-exclusive dealer for the other party to market, promote and sell each other’s products. The agreement has an initial two-year term, which will be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless written notice of termination is provided by one of the parties to the other no less than 90 days prior to the end of the then current term. The products, territories and consideration that is payable by each party to the other will be determined in accordance with the agreement. The Sales Dealer Agreement governs and replaces substantially all of the activities that were previously undertaken under the Marketing and Customer Relations Agreement described above, including the pilot program.

19. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through September 24, 2019, the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

On May 10, 2019, APX issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (“2024 notes”) in a private placement. APX used the net proceeds from the 2024 notes offering to redeem $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2020 notes, and to pay the related accrued interest and to pay all fees and expenses related thereto. The indenture governing the 2024 notes contains covenants similar to the 2022 notes. An affiliate of Blackstone acted as one of the initial purchasers in connection with this offering. The 2024 notes will mature on November 1, 2024, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provisions, on September 1, 2020 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the note purchase agreement, in which case the 2024 notes will mature on September 1, 2020.

On July 31, 2019, in an effort to deliver additional cost savings and cash-flow improvements, the Company completed a spin-off of its wireless internet business. In connection with the spin-off, the equity interests of Vivint Wireless, Inc. were distributed to the shareholders of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. pro rata based on their respective holdings.

On September 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to merge with a subsidiary of Mosaic Acquisition Corp. (“Mosaic”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (“the Merger”). The Merger is subject to approval by stockholders of the Company and Mosaic.

VIVINT SMART HOME INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (“Parent”) is a holding company, and all operations are conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Parent and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (collectively the “Company”), is engaged in the sale, installation, servicing and monitoring of smart home and security systems, primarily in the United States and Canada. Parent, which is majority-owned by 313 Acquisition, LLC. (“313”), APX Group Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), which is wholly-owned by Parent, and APX Group, Inc. (“APX”), which is wholly-owned by Holdings, have no operations.

Going Concern

The Company has prepared its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, if the Company does not make specified debt repayments prior to September 1, 2020, certain other indebtedness will become due and payable on that date as discussed below. The Company has historically generated recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations and may be unable to refinance its debt or make such specified debt repayments prior to September 1, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 3, certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain “springing maturity” provisions. Under the terms of these springing maturity provisions, if on September 1, 2020 more than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the 2022 notes and 2022 private placement notes will mature on September 1, 2020. If on September 1, 2020 more than $250.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the Revolving Credit Facility will also mature on September 1, 2020. In addition, if on September 1, 2020 more than $275.0 million aggregate principal amount under the 2020 notes remains outstanding or has not been refinanced, the Term Loan and the 2024 notes will also mature on September 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $454.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes outstanding.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $2.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $140.4 million of availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

On September 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to merge with a subsidiary of Mosaic Acquisition Corp. (“Mosaic”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (“the Merger”). The Merger is subject to approval by stockholders of the Company and Mosaic. Management may use a portion of the proceeds from the Merger to repay some or all of the outstanding 2020 notes. If less than $190.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes remain outstanding following such repayment, the maturity dates for the debt discussed above would not accelerate to September 1, 2020 from the original maturity dates disclosed in Note 3. There is no assurance that the Merger and the associated debt repayment will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. To the extent additional capital is not obtained through the Merger, management will seek other forms of financing, which may include issuance of additional equity or debt or other means of timely addressing the Company’s debt obligations. There is no assurance such other forms of financing will be available.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vivint

Table of Contents

Smart Home, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information as of December 31, 2018 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which are considered of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented for Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (“Parent”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the condensed consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the Company’s estimates. The results of operations presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s results for any future period.

Vivint Flex Pay

The Vivint Flex Pay plan (“Vivint Flex Pay”) became the Company’s primary sales model beginning in March 2017. Under Vivint Flex Pay, customers pay separately for the products (including control panel, security peripheral equipment, smart home equipment, and related installation) (“Products”) and Vivint’s smart home and security services (“Services”). The customer has the following three ways to pay for the Products: (1) qualified customers in the United States may finance the purchase of Products through third-party financing providers (“Consumer Financing Program”), (2) the Company offers to some customers not eligible for the Consumer Financing Program, but who qualify under the Company’s underwriting criteria, the option to enter into a retail installment contract (“RIC”) directly with Vivint, or (3) customers may purchase the Products at the outset of the service contract by check, automatic clearing house payments (“ACH”), credit or debit card.

Although customers pay separately for Products and Services under the Vivint Flex Pay plan, the Company has determined that the sale of Products and Services are one single performance obligation. As a result, all forms of transactions under Vivint Flex Pay create deferred revenue for the gross amount of Products sold. Gross deferred revenues are reduced by imputed interest and estimated write-offs on the RICs and the present value of expected payments due to the third-party financing provider under the Consumer Financing Program.

Under the Consumer Financing Program, qualified customers are eligible for loans provided by third-party financing providers up to $4,000. The annual percentage rates on these loans range between 0% and 9.99%, based on the customer’s credit quality, and are either installment or revolving loans with a 42 or 60 month term.

For certain third-party provider loans, the Company pays a monthly fee based on either the average daily outstanding balance of the loans or the number of outstanding loans, depending on the third-party financing provider and the Company shares liability for credit losses, with the Company being responsible for between 5%

 

F-105


Table of Contents

and 100% of lost principal balances. Additionally, the Company is responsible for reimbursing certain third-party financing providers for credit card transaction fees associated with the loans. Because of the nature of these provisions, the Company records a derivative liability at its fair value when the third-party financing provider originates loans to customers, which reduces the amount of estimated revenue recognized on the provision of the services. The derivative liability is reduced as payments are made by the Company to the third-party financing provider. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the derivative liability are realized through other expenses (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. (See Note 8).

For other third-party loans, the Company receives net proceeds (net of fees and expected losses) for which the Company has no further obligation to the third-party. The Company records these net proceeds to deferred revenue.

Retail Installment Contract Receivables

For subscribers that enter into a RIC to finance the purchase of Products and related installation, the Company records a receivable for the amount financed. Gross RIC receivables are reduced for (i) expected write-offs of uncollectible balances over the term of the RIC and (ii) a present value discount of the expected cash flows using a risk adjusted market interest rate (together, the “RIC Discount”). Therefore, the RIC receivables equal the present value of the expected cash flows to be received by the Company over the term of the RIC. At the time of installation, the Company records a long-term note receivable within long-term notes receivables and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the present value of the receivables that are expected to be collected beyond 12 months of the reporting date. The unbilled receivable amounts that are expected to be collected within 12 months of the reporting date are included as a short-term notes receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The billed amounts of notes receivables are included in accounts receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company imputes the interest on the RIC receivable using a risk adjusted market interest rate and records it as an adjustment to deferred revenue and as an adjustment to the face amount of the related receivable. The risk adjusted interest rate considers a number of factors, including credit quality of the subscriber base and other qualitative considerations such as macro-economic factors. The imputed interest income is recognized over the term of the RIC contract as recurring and other revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

When the Company determines that there are RIC receivables that have become uncollectible, it records an adjustment to the RIC Discount and reduces the related note receivable balance. On a regular basis, the Company also assesses the level of the RIC Discount balance based on historical RIC write-off trends and adjusts the balance, if necessary. Account balances are written-off if collection efforts are unsuccessful and future collection is unlikely based on the length of time from the day accounts become past due.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from subscribers for recurring monthly monitoring Services and the billed portion of RIC receivables. The accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and are non-interest bearing and are included within accounts and notes receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable totaled $16.5 million and $22.1 million at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $5.6 million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company estimates this allowance based on historical collection experience and subscriber attrition rates. When the Company determines that there are accounts receivable that are uncollectible, they are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and totaled $14.3 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company offers its customers smart home services combining Products, including a proprietary control panel, door and window sensors, door locks, security cameras and smoke alarms; installation; and a proprietary back-end cloud platform software and Services. These together create an integrated system that allows the Company’s customers to monitor, control and protect their home (“Smart Home Services”). The Company’s customers are buying this integrated system that provides them with these Smart Home Services. The number and type of Products purchased by a customer depends on their desired functionality. Because the Products and Services included in the customer’s contract are integrated and highly interdependent, and because they must work together to deliver the Smart Home Services, the Company has concluded that installed Products, related installation and Services contracted for by the customer are generally not distinct within the context of the contract and, therefore, constitute a single, combined performance obligation. Revenues for this single, combined performance obligation are recognized on a straight-line basis over the customer’s contract term, which is the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. The Company has determined that certain contracts that do not require a long-term commitment for monitoring services by the customer contain a material right to renew the contract, because the customer does not have to purchase Products upon renewal. Proceeds allocated to the material right are recognized over the period of benefit, which is generally three years.

The majority of the Company’s subscription contracts are between three and five years in length and are non-cancelable. These contracts with customers generally convert into month-to-month agreements at the end of the initial term, and some customer contracts are month-to-month from inception. Payment for recurring monitoring and other Smart Home Services is generally due in advance on a monthly basis.

Sales of Products and other one-time fees such as service fees or installation fees are invoiced to the customer at the time of sale. Revenues for wireless internet service that were provided by Vivint Wireless Inc. (“Wireless Internet” or “Wireless”) and any Products or Services that are considered separate performance obligations are recognized when those Products or Services are delivered. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue. Payments received or amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue.

Deferred Revenue

The Company’s deferred revenues primarily consist of amounts for sales (including upfront proceeds) of Smart Home Services. Deferred revenues are recognized over the term of the related performance obligation, which is generally three to five years.

Capitalized Contract Costs

Capitalized contract costs represent the costs directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related subscriber contracts. These include commissions, other compensation and related costs incurred directly for the origination and installation

 

F-107


Table of Contents

of new or upgraded customer contracts, as well as the cost of Products installed in the customer home at the commencement or modification of the contract. The Company calculates amortization by accumulating all deferred contract costs into separate portfolios based on the initial month of service and amortizes those deferred contract costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit that the Company has determined to be five years, consistent with the pattern in which the Company provides services to its customers. The Company believes this pattern of amortization appropriately reduces the carrying value of the capitalized contract costs over time to reflect the decline in the value of the assets as the remaining period of benefit for each monthly portfolio of contracts decreases. The period of benefit of five years is longer than a typical contract term because of anticipated contract renewals. The Company applies this period of benefit to its entire portfolio of contracts. The Company updates its estimate of the period of benefit periodically and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the period of benefit could change significantly. Such changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate. Amortization of capitalized contract costs is included in “Depreciation and Amortization” on the consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs is periodically reviewed for impairment. In performing this review, the Company considers whether the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs will be recovered. In estimating the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in the future related to capitalized contract costs, the Company considers factors such as attrition rates, economic factors, and industry developments, among other factors. If it is determined that capitalized contract costs are impaired, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs and the anticipated costs that relate directly to providing the future services exceed the consideration that has been received and that is expected to be received in the future.

Contract costs not directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related subscriber contracts are expensed as incurred. These costs include those associated with housing, marketing and recruiting, non-direct lead generation costs, certain portions of sales commissions and residuals, overhead and other costs considered not directly and specifically tied to the origination of a particular subscriber.

On the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, capitalized contract costs are classified as operating activities and reported as “Capitalized contract costs – deferred contract costs” as these assets represent deferred costs associated with subscriber contracts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of highly liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less.

Inventories

Inventories, which are comprised of smart home and security system Products and parts, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company adjusts the inventory balance based on anticipated obsolescence, usage and historical write-offs.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Long-lived Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term for assets under finance leases, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the remaining estimated economic life of the underlying technology or relationships, which ranges from 2 to 10 years. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or in a pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Amortization expense associated with leased assets is included with depreciation expense. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

F-108


Table of Contents

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, capitalized contract costs, and definite-lived intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers whether or not indicators of impairment exist on a regular basis and as part of each quarterly and annual financial statement close process. Factors the Company considers in determining whether or not indicators of impairment exist include market factors and patterns of customer attrition. If indicators of impairment are identified, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

The Company conducts an indefinite-lived intangible impairment analysis annually as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles may be less than the carrying amount. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, the Company is able to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, the Company’s quantitative impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that the Company compare the estimated fair value of its indefinite-lived intangibles to the carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, the intangibles are not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to the difference is recorded.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, no impairments to long-lived assets or intangibles were recorded.

The Company’s depreciation and amortization included in the consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following (in thousands):

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019 the Company accounts for leases under Topic 842 (see Recently Adopted Accounting Standards below). Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit rate when available. When implicit rates are not available, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not record lease ROU assets and liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less.

Leases are classified as either operating or finance at lease inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities and finance lease liabilities are stated separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease assets are included in property, plant and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. For facility type leases, the Company separates the lease and non-lease components. Generally, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all other class of leases.

 

F-109


Table of Contents

Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, the Company’s leases were classified as either operating or capital leases. Capital lease liabilities were stated separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and capital lease assets were included in property, plant and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases were not recognized in the balance sheet. Capital lease balances are presented on the same lines as finance lease balances for comparative prior periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. See Recently Adopted Accounting Standards below and note 12 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting Topic 842.

Long-term Investments

The Company’s long-term investments are composed of equity securities in certain companies. As of December 31, 2018 the Company’s equity investments totaled $3.9 million, including $0.7 million of equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The Company did not hold any equity security investments as of September 30, 2019.

Management determines the appropriate fair value measurement of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the fair value measurement at each balance sheet date. Equity securities are classified as either short-term or long-term, based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations. The Company’s equity securities are carried at fair value, with gains and losses reported in other income or loss within the statement of operations.

The Company performs impairment analyses of its investments without readily determinable fair values when events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the investment below its carrying value. When indicators of impairment do not exist, the Company evaluates impairment using a qualitative approach. Additionally, increases or decreases in the carrying amount resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer are adjusted through the statement of operations as needed.

Deferred Financing Costs

Certain costs incurred in connection with obtaining debt financing are deferred and amortized utilizing the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest method, over the life of the related financing. Deferred financing costs associated with obtaining APX Group, Inc.’s (“APX”) revolving credit facility are amortized over the amended maturity dates discussed in Note 3. Deferred financing costs included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets within deferred financing costs, net at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 were $2.1 million and $1.3 million, net of accumulated amortization of $9.6 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Deferred financing costs included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets within notes payable, net at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 were $32.4 million and $29.3 million, net of accumulated amortization of $54.6 million and $61.3 million, respectively. Amortization expense on deferred financing costs recognized and included in interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, totaled $7.9 million and $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively (See Note 3).

Offering Costs

Specific incremental costs (i.e. consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs) directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. In the event a planned offering of securities does not occur or is significantly delayed, all of the costs are expensed. Offering costs of $3.6 million and $0.1 million were expensed to general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively, when offering plans were delayed. There was $3.0 million of offering costs capitalized as of September 30, 2019 in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No offering costs were capitalized as of December 31, 2018.

Residual Income Plans

The Company has a program that allows certain third-party sales channel partners to receive additional compensation based on the performance of the underlying contracts they create (the “Channel Partner Plan”). The Company also has a residual sales compensation plan (the “Residual Plan”) under which the Company’s sales personnel (each, a “Plan Participant”) receive compensation based on the performance of the underlying contracts they create.

For both the Channel Partner Plan and Residual Plan, the Company calculates the present value of the expected future residual payments and records a liability for this amount in the period the subscriber account is originated. These costs are recorded to capitalized contract costs. The Company monitors actual payments and customer attrition on a periodic basis and, when necessary, makes adjustments to the liability. The amount included in accrued payroll and commissions $4.9 million and $5.2 million at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and the amount included in other long-term obligations was $17.6 million and $27.7 million at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the requisite service period of the awards (See Note 10).

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $34.8 million and $46.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the effect of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties is to record such items as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. The Company records the effect of a tax rate or law change on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. Future tax rate or law changes could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of receivables and cash. At times during the year, the Company maintains cash balances in excess of insured limits. The Company is not dependent on any single customer or geographic location. The loss of a customer would not adversely impact the Company’s operating results or financial position.

 

F-111


Table of Contents

Concentrations of Supply Risk

As of September 30, 2019, approximately 87% of the Company’s installed panels were SkyControl panels and 13% were 2GIG Go!Control panels and 1% were other panels. During 2018 the Company transitioned to a new panel supplier. The loss of the Company’s panel supplier could potentially impact its operating results or financial position.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to on-going fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial measurements at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

Goodwill

The Company conducts a goodwill impairment analysis annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units may be less than their carrying amounts. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, the Company is able to evaluate goodwill impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, the Company’s quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that the Company compare the estimated fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of its net assets, the Company would be required to complete the second step of the test by analyzing the fair value of its goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. The Company’s reporting units are determined based on its current reporting structure, which as of September 30, 2019 consisted of one reporting unit. As of September 30, 2019, there were no changes in facts and circumstances since the most recent annual impairment analysis to indicate impairment existed.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

The functional currency of Vivint Canada, Inc. is the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, Vivint Canada, Inc. assets and liabilities are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end rates

 

F-112


Table of Contents

and Vivint Canada, Inc. revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from this translation process are classified as other comprehensive income (loss) and shown as a separate component of equity.

When intercompany foreign currency transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements are of a long term investment nature (i.e., those for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from those transactions are included in stockholders’ deficit as accumulated other comprehensive loss or income. When intercompany transactions are deemed to be of a short term nature, translation adjustments are required to be included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company has determined that settlement of Vivint Canada, Inc. intercompany balances is anticipated and therefore such balances are deemed to be of a short term nature. Translation activity included in the statement of operations in other (income) expenses, net related to intercompany balances was as follows: (in thousands)

Letters of Credit

As of each December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company had $13.8 million of letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, all of which are undrawn.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

Restructuring and asset impairment charges represent expenses incurred in relation to activities to exit or disposal of portions of the Company’s business that do not qualify as discontinued operations. Liabilities associated with restructuring are measured at their fair value when the liability is incurred. Expenses for related termination benefits are recognized at the date the Company notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Liabilities related to termination of a contract are measured and recognized at fair value when the contract does not have any future economic benefit to the entity and the fair value of the liability is determined based on the present value of the remaining obligation. The Company expenses all other costs related to an exit or disposal activity as incurred (See Note 15).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and plans to provide additional information about its expected impact at a future date.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” to increase transparency and comparability among organizations as it relates to lease assets and lease liabilities. The update requires that lease assets and lease liabilities be recognized on the balance sheet, and that key information about leasing arrangements be disclosed. Prior to this update, GAAP did not require operating leases to be recognized as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.

 

F-113


Table of Contents

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective approach and using certain practical expedients. The adoption of the standard resulted in recording ROU assets of $75.5 million and lease liabilities of $85.9 million as of January 1, 2019. The ROU assets are lower than the lease liabilities as existing deferred rent and lease incentive liabilities were recorded against the ROU assets at adoption in accordance with the standard. The standard did not materially affect the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The standard also resulted in a reassessment that a sale would have occurred at January 1, 2019 for the Company’s build-to-suit building. As a result, the Company classifies the leasing arrangement as an operating lease. The recognition of the sale-leaseback transaction resulted in an immaterial amount recorded to opening equity. See Note 6 for additional information on the sale-leaseback transaction. See Note 12 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting this standard.

2. Revenue and Capitalized Contract Costs

Customers are typically invoiced for Smart Home Services in advance or at the time the Company delivers the related Smart Home Services. The majority of customers pay at the time of invoice via credit card, debit card or ACH. Deferred revenue relates to the advance consideration received from customers, which precedes the Company’s satisfaction of the associated performance obligation. The Company’s deferred revenues primarily result from customer payments received in advance for recurring monthly monitoring and other Smart Home Services, or other one-time fees, because these performance obligations are satisfied over time.    

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, the Company recognized revenues of $132.4 million and $178.4 million, respectively, that were included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2019, approximately $2.6 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for subscription contracts. The Company expects to recognize approximately 60% of the revenue related to these remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, with the remaining balance recognized over an additional 36 months.

Timing of Revenue Recognition

The Company considers Products, related installation, and its proprietary back-end cloud platform software and services an integrated system that allows the Company’s customers to monitor, control and protect their homes. These Smart Home Services are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is recognized over the customer’s contract term, which is generally three to five years.

Capitalized Contract Costs

Capitalized contract costs generally include commissions, other compensation and related costs paid directly for the generation and installation of new or modified customer contracts, as well as the cost of Products installed in the customer home at the commencement or modification of the contract. The Company defers and amortizes these costs for new or modified subscriber contracts on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit of five years.

The net proceeds from the 2024 notes offering were used to redeem $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2020 notes, and to pay the related accrued interest and to pay all fees and expenses related thereto. The 2024 notes will mature on November 1, 2024, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provisions, (1) on September 1, 2020 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the note purchase agreement for the 2020 notes, in which case the 2024 notes will mature on September 1, 2020 or (2) on June 1, 2023 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2023 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million of such 2023 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the note purchase agreement for the 2023 notes, in which case the 2024 notes will mature on June 1, 2023. The 2024 notes are secured, on a pari passu basis, by the collateral securing obligations under the 2022 private placement notes, the 2022 notes, the revolving credit facilities and the Term Loan, in all cases, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

Interest accrues at the rate of 8.75% per annum for the 2020 notes, 8.875% per annum for the 2022 private placement notes, 7.875% per annum for the 2022 notes, 7.625% per annum for the 2023 notes and 8.50% per annum for the 2024 notes.

Interest on the 2023 notes is payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. Interest on the 2024 notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 each year. APX may redeem the Notes at the prices and on the terms specified in the applicable indenture, or the note purchase agreement.

Term Loan

In September 2018, APX entered into a credit agreement (the “September 2018 issuance”) for total term loans of $810.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments under the Term Loan in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loan outstanding on the closing date thereof. The remaining principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan will be due and payable in full on March 31, 2024, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provision, (1) on September 1, 2020 (the

91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the note purchase agreement for the 2020 notes, in which case the Term Loan will mature on September 1, 2020 or (2) on June 1, 2023 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2023 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million of such 2023 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the note purchase agreement for the 2023 notes, in which case the Term Loan will mature on June 1, 2023. The net proceeds from the Term Loan were used in-part to redeem in full the entire $269.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2019 notes and pay the related accrued interest and redemption premium, to repurchase approximately $250.7 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 notes, to repay the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the Term Loan and the transactions described above.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) the base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% or (2) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate for dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. The applicable margin for base rate-based borrowings is 4.0% per annum and the applicable margin for LIBOR rate-based borrowings is 5.0% per annum. APX may prepay the Term Loan at the prices and on the terms specified in the credit agreement covering the Term Loan.

Debt Modifications and Extinguishments

The Company performs analyses on a creditor-by-creditor basis for debt modifications and extinguishments to determine if repurchased debt was substantially different than debt issued to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of associated issuance costs. As a result of these analyses, the following amounts of other expense and loss on extinguishment and deferred financing costs were recorded (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 16, 2012, APX entered into a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a five year maturity. On March 6, 2015, APX amended and restated the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to provide for, among other things, (1) an increase in the aggregate commitments previously available to APX thereunder from $200.0 million to $289.4 million (“Revolving Commitments”) and (2) the extension of the maturity date with respect to certain of the previously available commitments. On August 10, 2017, APX further amended and restated the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to provide for, among other things, (1) an increase in the aggregate commitments previously available to the Company from $289.4 million to $324.3 million and (2) the extension of the maturity date with respect to certain of the previously available commitments.

Borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at APX’s option, either (1) the base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% or (2) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate for dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. The applicable margin for base rate-based borrowings (1)(a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments of approximately $267.0 million is and, when in effect, the Series D Revolving Commitments of approximately $15.4 million was 2.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments of approximately $21.2 million was 3.0% and (2)(a) the applicable margin for LIBOR rate-based borrowings (a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments is, and, when in effect, the Series D Revolving Commitments is currently 3.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments is

currently 4.0%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is subject to one step-down of 25 basis points based on APX meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test at the end of each fiscal quarter. Outstanding borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility are allocated on a pro-rata basis between each Series based on the total Revolving Commitments.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the revolving credit facility, APX is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee (which will be subject to one interest rate step-down of 12.5 basis points, based on APX meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test) to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. APX also pays customary letter of credit and agency fees.

APX is not required to make any scheduled amortization payments under the revolving credit facility. The Series D Revolving Commitments of $15.4 million expired effective April 1, 2019 and the principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable in full with respect to the extended commitments under the Series A Revolving Credit Facility and Series B Revolving Credit Facility on March 31, 2021, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provisions, on September 1, 2020 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under the note purchase agreement for the 2020 notes, in which case the principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will mature on September 1, 2020.

As of September 30, 2019 there was $134.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2019 the Company had $140.4 million of availability under the revolving credit facility (after giving effect to $13.8 million of letters of credit outstanding and $134.0 million of borrowings).

Guarantees

All of the obligations under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the Term Loan and the debt agreements governing the Notes are guaranteed by APX Group Holdings, Inc. and each of APX Group, Inc.’s existing and future material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries. However, such subsidiaries shall only be required to guarantee the obligations under the debt agreements governing the Notes for so long as such entities guarantee the obligations under the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the Term Loan or the Company’s other indebtedness.

The amount of RIC imputed interest income recognized in recurring and other revenue was $10.9 million and $10.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Change in Accounting Estimate in 2019

RIC receivables are recorded at their present value, net of the RIC Discount. The Company records the RIC Discount as an adjustment to deferred revenue and as an adjustment to the face amount of the related receivable. The RIC Discount considers a number of factors, including collection experience, credit quality of the subscriber base and other qualitative considerations such as macro-economic factors.

In the third quarter of 2019, with over two years of RIC customer history, the Company believed that it had sufficient data and experience from RIC receivables to reevaluate the remaining RIC Discount. The Company determined that actual RIC write-offs were trending higher than the expected write-offs used in the original estimates. Therefore, the Company determined that it was necessary to adjust the remaining RIC Discount balance primarily associated with subscribers originated in 2017 and 2018, to reflect the new estimate of the present value of cash expected to be collected over the remaining contractual periods.

In accordance with this change in accounting estimate, in the third quarter of 2019 the Company increased the RIC Discount and recognized an adjustment to revenue to record the proportional amount related to performance obligations that have already been delivered and the remaining amount (related to undelivered performance obligations) to deferred revenue. The Company recorded a total increase to the RIC Discount of $26.6 million, with a decrease to deferred revenue of $17.5 million and a decrease to recurring and other revenue of $9.1 million. The decrease to revenue resulted in a corresponding increase to net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Property, plant and equipment, net includes approximately $23.7 million and $22.8 million of assets under finance or capital lease obligations at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $22.2 million and $23.5 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense on all property, plant and equipment was $18.8 million and $19.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Amortization expense relates to assets under finance or capital leases and is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, effective January 1, 2019 the Company’s build-to-suit leasing arrangement was considered a sale-leaseback and is classified as an operating lease. This resulted in a reduction to property, plant and equipment, net of $6.1 million and a reduction of $6.6 million related the financing lease obligation within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term obligations. See Note 12 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company had a goodwill balance of $834.9 million and $836.0 million, respectively. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was the result of foreign currency translation adjustments as well as a $0.4 million addition associated with the acquisition of CrowdStorage (defined below).

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Vivint Wireless entered into leasing agreements with Nextlink Wireless, LLC (“Nextlink”) for designated radio frequency spectrum in 40 mid-sized metropolitan markets. The lease term was for seven years, with an option to become the licensor of record with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) with respect to the applicable spectrum licenses at the end of this term for a nominal fee. The Company acquired $31.3 million of spectrum licenses, measured using the present value of the lease payments, and recorded an intangible asset and a corresponding liability within other long-term obligations. While licenses are issued for only a fixed time, such licenses are subject to renewal by the FCC.

In January 2018, Vivint Wireless and Verizon consummated the transactions contemplated by a termination agreement to which the parties agreed, among other things, to terminate the spectrum leases between Vivint Wireless and Nextlink, a subsidiary of Verizon, in exchange for a cash payment by Verizon to Vivint Wireless. The calculation of the gain recorded included cash proceeds of $55.0 million, extinguishment of the spectrum license liability of $27.9 million, offset by the write-off of the spectrum license asset in the amount of $31.3 million and regulatory costs associated with the sale of $1.2 million for a total net gain on sale of $50.4 million which is included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In May 2019, the Company acquired majority ownership interest in CrowdStorage, Inc. (“CrowdStorage”), a distributed cloud storage solution company. The Company determined that CrowdStorage was a variable interest entity and the Company was the primary beneficiary, because CrowdStorage was dependent on the Company for ongoing financial support. As part of this acquisition, the Company recognized a definite-lived intangible asset of $1.8 million, included within the other technology asset class in the above table. The financial position and results of operations of CrowdStorage are consolidated by the Company and the non-controlling interest associated with the minority interest holders was immaterial as of, and for, the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $68.2 million and $60.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

The Notes are fixed-rate debt considered Level 2 fair value measurements as the values were determined using observable market inputs, such as current interest rates, prices observable from less active markets, as well as prices observable from comparable securities. The Term Loan is floating-rate debt and approximates the carrying value as interest accrues at floating rates based on market rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Under the Consumer Financing Program, the Company pays a monthly fee to third-party financing providers based on the either the average daily outstanding balance of the loans or the number of outstanding loans depending on third-party financing provider. The Company also shares the liability for credit losses, depending on the credit quality of the customer. Because of the nature of certain provisions under the Consumer Financing Program, the Company records a derivative liability that is not designated as a hedging instrument and is adjusted to fair value, measured using the present value of the estimated future payments. Changes to the fair value are recorded through other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following represent the contractual obligations with the third-party financing providers under the Consumer Financing Program that are components of the derivative:

 

   

The Company pays either a monthly fee based on the average daily outstanding balance of the loans, or the number of outstanding loans, depending on the third-party financing provider

 

   

The Company shares the liability for credit losses depending on the credit quality of the customer

 

   

The Company pays transactional fees associated with customer payment processing

The derivative is classified as a Level 3 instrument. The derivative positions are valued using a discounted cash flow model, with inputs consisting of available market data, such as market yield discount rates, as well as unobservable internally derived assumptions, such as collateral prepayment rates, collateral default rates and loss severity rates. These derivatives are priced quarterly using a credit valuation adjustment methodology. In summary, the fair value represents an estimate of the present value of the cash flows the Company will be obligated to pay to the third-party financing provider for each component of the derivative.

9. Income Taxes

In order to determine the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

The Company’s effective income tax benefit rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 was approximately 0.44% and 0.20%, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was affected by year to date projected loss in Canada and estimated minimum state taxes in the US. Both the 2018 and 2019 effective tax rates differ from the statutory rate primarily due to the combination of not benefiting from expected pre-tax US losses, a result of changes to the valuation allowance, and recognizing current state income tax expense for minimum state taxes.

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, recording valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, and evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions. In evaluating the ability to realize its deferred tax assets, in full or in part, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, forecasted future earnings, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Due to historical net losses incurred and the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets, for all the periods presented, the Company has maintained a domestic valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that remain after offset by domestic deferred tax liabilities, and the company currently anticipates recording a valuation allowance against net foreign deferred tax assets by the end of the current year.

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

313 Incentive Units

The Company’s indirect parent, 313 Acquisition LLC (“313”), which is majority owned by Blackstone, has authorized the award of profits interests, representing the right to share a portion of the value appreciation on the initial capital contributions to 313 (“Incentive Units”). As of September 30, 2019, 84,866,126 Incentive Units had been awarded, and were outstanding, to current and former members of senior management and a board member, of which 42,169,456 were outstanding to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. In June 2018, the Incentive Units and SARs (defined below) vesting terms were modified (“Modification”). Prior to the Modification, the Incentive Units were subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date and (2) two-thirds subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by The Blackstone Group Inc. and its affiliates (“Blackstone”). Pursuant to the Modification the Incentive Units are subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date, (2) one-third subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone and (3) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from June 2018 for those granted prior to the modification or the applicable vesting reference date for those granted on or following the Modification. The Company has not recorded any expense related to the performance-based portion of the awards, as the achievement of the vesting condition is not yet deemed probable. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding Incentive Units with time-based vesting conditions will become fully vested and exercisable.

The fair value of stock-based awards is measured at the grant date, or the Modification date, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The grant date fair value was primarily determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation approach with the following assumptions: expected volatility varies from 55% to 125%; expected exercise term between 3.96 and 6.00 years; and risk-free rates between 0.62% and 2.61%.

Vivint Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company’s subsidiary, Vivint Group, Inc. (“Vivint Group”), has awarded Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to various levels of key employees and board members, pursuant to an omnibus incentive plan. The purpose of the SARs is to attract and retain personnel and provide an opportunity to acquire an equity interest of Vivint Group and/or its direct or indirect parents. Prior to the Modification in June 2018, the SARs were subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date and (2) two-thirds subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone. Pursuant to the Modification the Incentive Units are subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date, (2) one-third subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone and (3) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from June 2018 for those granted prior to the Modification or the applicable vesting reference date for those granted on or following the Modification. The Company has not recorded any expense related to the performance-based portion of the awards, as the achievement of the vesting condition is not yet deemed probable. In connection with this plan, 45,176,970 SARs were outstanding as of September 30, 2019. In addition, 53,621,891 SARs have been set aside for funding incentive compensation pools pursuant to long-term sales and installation employee incentive plans established by the Company. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding SARs with time-based vesting conditions will become fully vested and exercisable. The Company expects to settle SARs through issuance of common stock.

The fair value of the Vivint Group awards is measured at the grant date, or the Modification date, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The fair value is determined using a Black-

Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: expected volatility varies from 55% to 125%, expected dividends of 0%; expected exercise term between 6.00 and 6.47 years; and risk-free rates between 0.61% and 2.61%. Due to the lack of historical exercise data, the Company used the simplified method in determining the estimated exercise term, for all Vivint Group awards.

Restricted Stock Units

In June 2018 and March 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, Vivint Group, awarded 360,000 and 236,111 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain board members, pursuant to an omnibus incentive plan. The purpose of the RSUs is to compensate board members for their board service and align their interests of those of the Company’s shareholders. The RSUs are subject to a three year time-based ratable vesting period. The RSUs are subject to a three year time-based ratable vesting period. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding RSUs will become fully vested.

The fair value of the RSU awards, representing the estimated equity value per share of Vivint Group at the grant date, is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The fair values are determined using management’s financial projections and available market data at the time of issuance. The grant date fair value per share of the outstanding RSUs was $0.48 for the June 2018 issuance and $1.08 for the March 2019 issuance. As of September 30, 2019, there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs, which will be recognized over a period of 1.9 years.

Equity

Common Stock

The Company had 2,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock authorized, of which 1,006,290 and 1,009,144 shares were legally issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Company’s board of directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have been declared or paid on our common stock through September 30, 2019.

Convertible Preferred Stock

During 2016, the Company authorized 400,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 100,000 shares were designated as convertible preferred series A stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). During 2016, the Company issued 79,791 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for $100.4 million, net of issuance costs.

 

F-128


Table of Contents

The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock have various rights, preferences, and privileges as follows:

Conversion Rights

At any time, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder’s option and by delivery of written notice to the Company, to convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including any fraction of a share) into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). The default conversion rate is one share of Common Stock for every converted share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Rate”), which Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive events.

Series A Preferred Stock holders are also granted conversion rights in the event of a reclassification, statutory exchange, merger, consolidation or other similar business combination, including the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Where such a transaction involves the exchange or conversion of Common Stock for or into other securities, cash or property, Series A Preferred Stock will automatically become convertible into the number, kind and amount of such other securities, cash or property as though the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock had converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction.

Anti-Dilution

The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment in the case of the issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all outstanding holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision, split or combination of Common Stock or a reclassification of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock.

Voting Rights

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of the holders of Common Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share of Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, as calculated at the then effective Conversion Rate at the time of the related record date.

The Company shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (1) amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation, (2) issue to Blackstone any class or series of Capital Stock that is or would be Senior Stock or that is or would be capital stock of any Subsidiary, (3) issue to Blackstone any debt instrument that has any equity-like features or is entitled to any return tied to equity value or the repayment amount of which at issuance is in excess of the sum of the amount of cash plus the face amount, including accrued interest, of debt of the Company, in either case, that is tendered as payment for such debt instruments; or (4) issue any class or series of shares, interests, rights to purchase, warrants, options, participations or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) stock issued by the Company that is or would be, in general, in parity with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Participating Dividends

If the board of directors of the Company shall declare a dividend or other distribution payable upon the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, whether in cash or in other securities or property, the Company shall also declare and pay to each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend or distribution, as the case may be, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, the amount and kind of dividends or distributions as would be payable in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

Table of Contents

Liquidation Rights

Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of stock having priority liquidation preferences, if any, and before any distribution or payment is made to holders of Common Stock, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of the legally available assets of the Company and proceeds thereof, equal to the greater of (1) $1,267.00 less the amount of any cash dividends and less the fair market value of any non-cash dividends or distributions, in each case previously paid to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to certain dividend declarations or other distributions (the “Unreturned Basis”) or (2) the amount of cash and fair market value of any securities or other property that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock would have received in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder had such holder, immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, converted its shares into shares of Common Stock (at the conversion rate of one share of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments). If the assets of the Company or proceeds therefrom are not sufficient to pay in full the Unreturned Basis payable on the Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding liquidation preference amounts payable on stock with equally ranked priority liquidation preferences, if any, then such assets or proceeds thereof will be paid pro rata in accordance with the amounts that would otherwise have been payable on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other shares.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification

Subject to certain limitations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers and employees with respect to certain litigation matters and investigations that arise in connection with their service to the Company. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and Delaware and California law. The obligation to indemnify generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse these individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with these matters.

Legal

The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business related to its sales, marketing, and the provision of its services and equipment claims. Actions filed against the Company include commercial, intellectual property, customer, and labor and employment related claims, including complaints of alleged wrongful termination and potential class action lawsuits regarding alleged violations of federal and state wage and hour and other laws. In addition, from time to time the Company is subject to examinations, investigations and/or enforcement actions by federal and state licensing and regulatory agencies and may face the risk of penalties for violation of financial services, consumer protections and other applicable laws and regulations. For example, in 2019, the Company received a subpoena in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) concerning potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”). The Company also has received a civil investigative demand from the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and the “Red Flags Rule” thereunder, and the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”). In general, litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial. The Company believes the amounts provided in its financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimated liabilities. Factors that the Company considers in the determination of the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the range of that loss in respect of legal matters include the merits of a particular matter, the nature of the matter, the length of time the matter has been pending, the procedural posture of the matter, how the Company intends to defend the matter, the likelihood of settling the matter and the anticipated range of a possible settlement. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties, the ultimate outcomes are not predictable and there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged

 

F-130


Table of Contents

liabilities from the matters described above will not exceed the amounts reflected in the Company’s financial statements or that the matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal claims and actions to determine if reserves for expected negative outcomes of such claims and actions are necessary. The Company had reserves for all such matters of approximately $2.5 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively. In conjunction with one of the settlements, the Company is obligated to pay certain future royalties, based on sales of future Products.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office and warehouse space and an aircraft under operating leases with related and unrelated parties expiring in various years through 2028. The leases require the Company to pay additional rent for increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes and contain renewal options. Total rent expense for all operating leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $13.6 million.

Capital Leases

The Company also enters into certain capital leases with expiration dates through July 2022. On an ongoing basis, the Company enters into vehicle lease agreements under a Fleet Lease Agreement. The lease agreements are typically 36 month leases for each vehicle. As of December 31, 2018, the capital lease obligation balance was $13.3 million.

See Note 12 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting Topic 842.

12. Leases

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, warehouse facilities, research and development and other operating facilities, an aircraft, and other operating assets. The Company has finance leases for vehicles, office equipment and other warehouse equipment. The leases have remaining terms of 1 year to 9 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

13. Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Vivint Solar

The Company is a party to a number of agreements with its sister company, Vivint Solar, Inc. (“Solar”). Some of those agreements related to Solar’s use of certain of the Company’s information technology and infrastructure services; however, Solar stopped using such services in July 2017. In August 2017, the Company entered into a sales dealer agreement with Solar, pursuant to which each company will act as a non-exclusive dealer for the other party to market, promote and sell each other’s products. The agreement has an initial term of two years and replaces substantially all of the activities being undertaken under the parties’ former marketing and customer relations agreement. The Company and Solar also agreed to extend the term of the non-solicitation provisions under an existing non-competition agreement to match the term of the sales dealer agreement. Net expenses charged to Solar in connection with these agreements was $10.8 million and $8.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The balance due from Solar in connection with these agreements and other expenses paid on Solar’s behalf was immaterial at December 31, 2018 and $1.4 million at September 30, 2019, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Other Related-party Transactions

Prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2018 included a receivable for $1.8 million, from certain members of management in regards to their personal use of the corporate jet. As of September 30, 2019, the related amount included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was immaterial.

The Company incurred additional expenses of $1.5 million and $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively for other related-party transactions including contributions to the charitable organization Vivint Gives Back, legal fees, and other services. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities included on the Company’s balance sheets at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 associated with these related-party transactions was immaterial.

Associated with the spin-off, the Company and Wireless entered into a Transition Service Agreement (“TSA”) According to the TSA, Vivint performs specified services for Wireless, including human resources, information technology, and facilities. The Company invoices Wireless on a monthly basis for these agreed upon services. Additionally, Vivint cross charges Wireless for items not included in the TSA but are paid for by Vivint on behalf of Wireless. Transactions associated with these services were $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The balance due from Wireless in connection with the TSA as of September 30, 2019 was $0.6 million and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On November 16, 2012, the Company was acquired by an investor group comprised of certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Capital Partners VI L.P., and certain co-investors and management investors through certain mergers and related reorganization transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, the Company engaged Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”) to provide monitoring, advisory and consulting services on an ongoing basis. In consideration for these services, the Company agreed to pay an annual monitoring fee equal to the greater of (i) a minimum base fee of $2.7 million, subject to adjustments if the Company engages in a business combination or disposition that is deemed significant and (ii) the amount of the monitoring fee paid in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year, without regard to any post-fiscal year “true-up” adjustments as determined by the agreement. The Company incurred expenses for such services of approximately $3.2 million and $4.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, included a liability to BMP in regards to the monitoring fee for $4.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Under the support and services agreement, the Company also engaged BMP to arrange for Blackstone’s portfolio operations group to provide support services customarily provided by Blackstone’s portfolio operations group to Blackstone’s private equity portfolio companies of a type and amount determined by such portfolio services group to be warranted and appropriate. BMP will invoice the Company for such services based on the time spent by the relevant personnel providing such services during the applicable period but in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay more than $1.5 million during any calendar year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 the Company incurred no costs associated with such services.

An affiliate of Blackstone participated as one of the arrangers in the Term Loan in September 2018 and as one of the initial purchasers in connection with the offering of the 2024 notes in May 2019 and received approximately $1.2 million of total fees associated with these transactions.

In September 2018, GSO Capital Partners, an affiliate of Blackstone, participated as a lender in the Term Loan. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, GSO Capital Partners held $75.1 million and $82.9 million, respectively, of outstanding aggregate principal of the Term Loan.

In each of September 2018 and July 2019, 313 contributed $4.7 million to the Company as a capital contribution.

From time to time, the Company does business with a number of other companies affiliated with Blackstone.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out at an arm’s-length basis.

14. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company offers eligible employees the opportunity to contribute a percentage of their earned income into company-sponsored 401(k) plans.

Since January 2018, participants in the 401(k) plans have been eligible for the Company’s matching program. Under this matching program, the Company matches an employee’s contributions to the 401(k) savings plan dollar-for-dollar up to 1% of such employee’s eligible earnings and $0.50 for every $1.00 for the next 5% of such employee’s eligible earnings. The maximum match available under the 401(k) plan is 3.5% of the employee’s eligible earnings. For employees who have been employed by the Company for less than two years, matching contributions vest on the second anniversary of their date of hire. The Company’s matching contributions to employees who have been employed by the Company for two years or more are fully vested.

Matching contributions that were made to the plans totaled $4.4 million and $4.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

15. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

In July 2018, the Company announced a number of cost reduction initiatives that are expected to reduce certain of the Company’s General and Administrative, Customer Service, and Sales Support fixed costs. The Company completed the majority of these cost reduction initiatives in the second and third quarters of 2018, with the remainder by the end of 2018. In addition to resulting in meaningful cost reductions, the Company’s initiatives are expected to streamline operations, focus engineering and innovation and provide a better focus on driving customer satisfaction.

As part of these initiatives, the Company and Best Buy agreed in principle to end the co-branded Best Buy Smart Home by Vivint arrangement, which resulted in the elimination of in-store sales positions.

Wireless Spin-Off

As described above, on July 31, 2019, the Company completed a spin-off of Wireless. In connection with the spin-off, the equity interests of Wireless were distributed to the shareholders of Vivint Smart Home pro rata based on their respective holdings. As a result of the spin-off, the Company’s additional paid-in capital was decreased by the net assets of Wireless of $4.4 million, as of the effective date of the spin-off. The spin-off does not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

18. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could be exercised or converted into common shares, and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive shares to purchase common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss attributable per share to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2019:

(a)    immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 6(b)(2) of the Certificate of Designations. All of the shares of Company Preferred Stock converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Company Preferred Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities;

(b)    at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Acquiror Stockholder, each share of Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.01(a)) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Dissenting Shares), shall thereupon be converted into, and the holder of such share of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, (1) the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), (2) a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.06(a), if any, and (3) a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.06(b), if any.

3.02    Equitable Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or shares of Acquiror Common Stock will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and the holders of Acquiror Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 3.02 shall not be construed to permit Acquiror, the Company, or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 3.03(b), each share of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration which the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to this Section  3.03(b).

(c)    Effective as of the Effective Time, the Acquiror shall assume the Company Group LTIP Plans and all awards granted thereunder (as amended as set forth on Exhibit E), including any liabilities and obligations associated therewith and make adjustments such that awards under the Company Group LTIP Plans shall be settled in a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock with a fair market value equal to a number of hypothetical Rollover SARs with respect to (a) the number of shares of VGI Common Stock subject to the hypothetical Company Group SARs underlying such Company Group LTIP Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (b) the VGI Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, with a strike price per share of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share strike price of such hypothetical Company Group SARs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the VGI Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (such assumed and adjusted plans, the “Rollover LTIP Plans”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the occurrence of the Closing shall constitute an event similar to a “Public Offering” of Vivint Group, Inc. for purposes of the Rollover LTIP Plans.

The Company also agrees that immediately following the execution of this Agreement it shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their Representatives to, cease any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the Parties and their respective Representatives) conducted heretofore in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company also agrees that within three (3) Business Days of the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall request each Person (other than the Parties and their respective Representatives) that has prior to the date hereof executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company (and with whom the Company has had contact in 12 months prior to the date of this Agreement regarding the acquisition of the Company) to return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of it or any of its subsidiaries prior to the date hereof and terminate access to any physical or electronic data room maintained by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.08 by any of the Company’s subsidiaries, or any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ respective Representatives acting on the Company’s or one of its subsidiaries’ behalf, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.08 by the Company.

Without limiting the foregoing, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time provisions in its certificate of incorporation (if applicable), bylaws and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of officers and directors that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of such certificates of incorporation (if applicable), bylaws and other organizational documents as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law. Acquiror shall assume, and be liable for, and shall cause the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries to honor, each of the covenants in this Section 7.02.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.02 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on Acquiror and the Surviving Company and all successors and assigns of Acquiror and the Surviving Company. In the event that Acquiror, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Acquiror and the Surviving Company shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Acquiror or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.02. The obligations of Acquiror and the Surviving Company under this Section 7.02 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect any present and former director and officer of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to whom this Section 7.02 applies without the consent of the affected Person.

(a)    As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Acquiror shall prepare, with the assistance of the Company, and cause to be filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Acquiror Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement (including the Earnout Shares), which Registration Statement will also contain the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall furnish all information concerning it as may reasonably be requested by the other Party in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement. Promptly after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, Acquiror will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to stockholders of Acquiror.

(b)    Each of Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement and any amendment to the Registration Statement filed in response thereto. If Acquiror or the Company becomes aware that any information contained in the Registration Statement shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or that the Registration Statement is required to be amended in order to comply with applicable Law, then (i) such party shall promptly inform the other parties and (ii) Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement. Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, as applicable, in each case pursuant to applicable Law and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Acquiror Organizational Documents. Each of the Company and Acquiror shall provide the other parties with copies of any written comments, and shall inform such other parties of any oral comments, that Acquiror receives from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the other parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments prior to responding to the SEC or its staff.

(c)    Acquiror agrees to include provisions in the Proxy Statement and to take reasonable action related thereto, with respect to (i) approval of the Business Combination (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) (the “Transaction Proposal”), (ii) approval of the Acquiror A&R Charter (the “Amendment Proposal”), (iii) approval of the issuance of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the issuance of Acquiror Common Stock to the Blackstone Subscribers in connection with the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.03 (the “Issuance Proposal”), (iv) approval of the issuance of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to the Fortress Subscription Agreement and the Blackstone Subscription Agreements and any other issuance of Acquiror Common Stock in connection with the Transactions in accordance with this Agreement, in each case to the extent required by NYSE listing rules (the “Subscription Proposals”), (v) the adoption of the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal”) and (vi) approval of any other proposals reasonably agreed by Acquiror and the Company to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Additional Proposal” and together with the Agreement Proposal, Merger Proposal, Amendment Proposal, Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the Subscription Proposals and Issuance

Proposal, the “Proposals”). The Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal shall provide that an aggregate number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to 10% of the outstanding shares of Acquiror Common Stock as of Closing shall be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan, subject to annual increases as provided therein. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Proposals shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Acquiror shall propose to be acted on by Acquiror’s stockholders at the Special Meeting.

(d)    Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish the record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting in accordance with the DGCL, (ii) cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to Acquiror’s stockholders in compliance with applicable Law and (iii) solicit proxies from the holders of Acquiror Common Stock to vote in favor of each of the Proposals. Acquiror shall, through the Acquiror Board, recommend to its stockholders that they approve the Proposals (the “Acquiror Board Recommendation”) and shall include the Acquiror Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02(d). The Acquiror Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Acquiror Board Recommendation (an “Acquiror Change in Recommendation”); provided, that the Acquiror Board may make a Acquiror Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make an Acquiror Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(d), if on a date for which the Special Meeting is scheduled, Acquiror has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Acquiror shall have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Special Meeting.

(e)    The Company shall solicit the Company Requisite Approval via written consent as soon as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective. In connection therewith, Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish the record date for determining the Company Shareholders entitled to provide such written consent, (ii) cause the Consent Solicitation Statement to be disseminated to the Company Shareholders in compliance with applicable Law and (iii) unless a Company Change in Recommendation has been made, solicit written consents from the Company Shareholders to give the Company Requisite Approval. The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to the Company Shareholders that they adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Consent Solicitation Statement, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02(e). The Company Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) (i) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Company Board Recommendation or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in clause (i) or (ii), a “Company Change in Recommendation”) except in accordance with Sections 6.08(c) and 6.08(d). The Company will provide Acquiror with copies of all stockholder consents it receives within one (1) Business Day of receipt. If the Company Requisite Approval is obtained, then promptly following the receipt of the required written consents, the Company will prepare and deliver to its stockholders who have not consented the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company’s obligation to solicit written consents from the Company Shareholders to give the Company Requisite Approval in accordance with this Section 8.02(e) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, or by any Company Change of Recommendation.

8.03    Tax Matters.

(a)    Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Transactions.

None of the parties or their respective Affiliates shall knowingly take or cause to be taken, or knowingly fail to take or knowingly cause to be failed to be taken, any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent qualification for such Intended Tax Treatment. Each party shall, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. final determination) or a change in applicable Law, or based on a change in the facts and circumstances underlying the Transactions from the terms described in this Agreement, cause all Tax Returns to be filed on a basis of treating the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Transactions as a transaction that qualifies under Section 351 of the Code. Each of the parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority. Acquiror and the Company shall execute and deliver officer’s certificates containing customary representations at such time or times as may be reasonably requested by counsel to the Company in connection with the delivery of any opinion by such counsel to the Company with respect to the tax treatment of the Transactions.

(c)    The Company, Acquiror, and Merger Sub hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

(d)    On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror a certification from the Company pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c) dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and signed by a responsible corporate officer of the Company.

8.04    Confidentiality; Publicity.

(b)    None of Acquiror, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall make any public announcement or issue any public communication regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any matter related to the foregoing, without first obtaining the prior consent of the Company or Acquiror, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law or legal process (including pursuant to the Securities Law or the rules of any national securities exchange), in which case Acquiror or the Company, as applicable, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate such announcement or communication with the other party, prior to announcement or issuance and allow the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon (which shall be considered by Acquiror or the Company, as applicable, in good faith); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each party and its Affiliates may make announcements and may provide information regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to their respective owners, their Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, managers, advisors, direct and indirect investors and prospective investors without the consent of any other party hereto; and provided, further, that subject to Section 6.02 and this Section 8.04, the foregoing shall not prohibit any party hereto from communicating with third parties to the extent necessary for the purpose of seeking any third party consent.

8.05    Post-Closing Cooperation; Further Assurances.

(a)    Following the Closing, each party shall, on the request of any other party, execute such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to give full effect to the

(b)    Following the Closing, Acquiror and the Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the funds held by the Acquiror as of the Closing (net of expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions) (including funds resulting from (i) the disbursements to the Acquiror pursuant to Section 7.04, (ii) the FP Financing and (iii) the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements) shall be used to repay the Surviving Company’s outstanding Indebtedness.

[            ] shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

A.    The board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix, without further stockholder approval (subject to any separate vote or consent of the holders of one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation expressly required therefor under this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock)), the designation of such series, the powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares of such series. The powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each series of Preferred Stock, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

B.    Each holder of record of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally or holders of Common Stock as a separate class are entitled to vote (whether voting separately as a class or together with one or more classes of the Corporation’s capital stock); provided, however, that to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall have no voting power with respect to, and shall not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

C.    Except as otherwise required by law, holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to only such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock).

D.    Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over or the right to participate with the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of capital stock of the Corporation, such dividends and other distributions may be declared and paid ratably on the Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation which are legally available for this purpose at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine.

E.    Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over or the right to participate with the Common Stock with respect to the distribution of assets of the Corporation upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.

F.    The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), and no vote of the holders of any of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor, unless a vote of any such holder is required pursuant to this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock).

A.    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate to the contrary, at any time when the Stockholder Parties (as defined in, and including any Person (as defined below) that from time to time becomes a Stockholder Party pursuant to the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement, dated [            ] (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”),(together with their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns, each, a “Stockholder Party”, and collectively the “Stockholder Parties”)) beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, in addition to any vote required by applicable law, the following provisions in this Restated Certificate may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded, in whole or in part, or any provision inconsistent therewith or herewith may be adopted, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class: this Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X and Article XI(B). For the purposes of this Restated Certificate, beneficial ownership of shares shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

B.    In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the DGCL, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, amend, alter, change, add to or repeal, in whole or in part, the bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect from time to time, the “Bylaws”) without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Restated Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Restated Certificate or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote of the stockholders, at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required herein (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock), by the Bylaws or by applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of the Bylaws or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) and this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors and subject to the applicable requirements of the Stockholders Agreement, the total number of directors shall be determined from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into

 

A-I-81


Table of Contents

three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the Board of Directors (the “Classification Date”), Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date, the directors of the class to be elected at each annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any such director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to their respective class.

B.    Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be), although less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders; provided, however, that, subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock or those granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, by voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be) (and not by stockholders). Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

C.    Any or all of the directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed at any time either with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any such director or all such directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

D.    Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

E.    During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, have the right to elect additional directors pursuant to the provisions of this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) in respect of such series, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right

 

A-I-82


Table of Contents

continues; (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

ARTICLE VII

LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY

A.    To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders.

B.    Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Restated Certificate, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a current or former director of the Corporation in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.

ARTICLE VIII

CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF MEETING, ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

A.    At any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. At any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting, unless such action is recommended by all directors then in office; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock.

B.    Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any

 

A-I-83

time only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes shall also be called by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors at the request of any Stockholder Party that is an Affiliate of The Blackstone Group Inc. (or the successors and permitted assigns of any such Stockholder Party) (collectively, “Blackstone”).

C.    An annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, if any, on such date, and at such time as shall be fixed exclusively by resolution of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

ARTICLE IX

A.    In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of the Stockholder Parties and each of their Affiliates (as defined in this Article IX) may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation, (ii) the Stockholder Parties and their Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage or propose to engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, may engage or propose to engage, and (iii) members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Corporation (“Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, may engage or propose to engage, the provisions of this Article IX are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Stockholder Parties, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.

B.    None of (i) the Stockholder Parties or any of their Affiliates or (ii) any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation in both his or her director and officer capacities) or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in (i) and (ii) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section (C) of this Article IX. Subject to said Section (C) of this Article IX, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty

C.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, the Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation) if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section (B) of this Article IX shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

D.    In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

E.    For purposes of this Article IX, “Affiliate” shall mean (a) in respect of any Stockholder Party, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by a Stockholder Party, controls a Stockholder Party or is under common control with a Stockholder Party and shall include any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (b) in respect of a Non-Employee Director, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Non-Employee Director (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation) and (c) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation.

F.    For purposes of this Article IX, “control,” including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with,” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract, or otherwise. A Person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of any corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such Person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Section, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

G.    To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article IX.

Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (y) otherwise solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination, (v) a certification regarding whether such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, have complied with all applicable federal, state and other legal requirements in connection with the stockholder’s and/or beneficial owner’s acquisition of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation and/or the stockholder’s and/or beneficial owner’s acts or omissions as a stockholder of the Corporation and (vi) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in an election contest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (d) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination or proposal and/or the voting of shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation between or among the stockholder giving the notice, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, any of their respective affiliates or associates and/or any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing (collectively, “proponent persons”); and (e) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including without limitation any contract to purchase or sell, acquisition or grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell, swap or other instrument) to which any proponent person is a party, the intent or effect of which may be (i) to transfer to or from any proponent person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security of the Corporation, (ii) to increase or decrease the voting power of any proponent person with respect to shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation and/or (iii) to provide any proponent person, directly or indirectly, with the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from, or to otherwise benefit economically from, any increase or decrease in the value of any security of the Corporation. A stockholder providing notice of a proposed nomination for election to the Board of Directors or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting (whether given pursuant to this paragraph (A)(3) or paragraph (B) of this Section 2.03 of these Bylaws) shall update and supplement such notice from time to time to the extent necessary so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct (x) as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting and (y) as of the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, provided that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting is less than fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the information shall be supplemented and updated as of such later date. Any such update and supplement shall be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), not later than ten (10) days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of any update or supplement required to be made as of fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting or adjournment or postponement thereof) and not later than five (5) days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, but no later than the day prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of a date less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation and to determine the independence of such director under the Exchange Act and rules and regulations thereunder and applicable stock exchange rules.

(B)    Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business (including the election of specific individuals to fill vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board of Directors) shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. At any time that stockholders are not prohibited from filling vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board of Directors, nominations of persons for the election to the Board of Directors to fill any vacancy or unfilled newly created directorship may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which any proposal to fill any vacancy or unfilled newly created directorship is to be presented to the stockholders (1) as provided in the Stockholders Agreement, (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any

committee thereof or (3) provided that the Board of Directors (or any Stockholder Party that is an Affiliate of The Blackstone Group, Inc.

In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of submitting a proposal to stockholders for the election of one or more directors to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship on the Board of Directors, any such stockholder entitled to vote on such matter may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting if the stockholder’s notice as required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 2.03 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting at which directors are to be elected.

The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and on shareholder approvals.

(4)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03, for as long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect with respect to the Stockholder Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), the Stockholder Parties (to the extent then subject to the Stockholders Agreement) shall not be subject to the notice procedures set forth in paragraphs (A)(2), (A)(3) or (B) of this Section 2.03 with respect to any annual or special meeting of stockholders.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy in any manner provided under Section 212(c) of the DGCL or as otherwise provided under applicable law, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Unless required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be advisable, the vote on any question need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by such stockholder’s proxy, if there be such proxy. When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of applicable law, of the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, of any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, all elections of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Any business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the meeting originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

SECTION 5.05    List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (b) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 5.05 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

SECTION 5.06    Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.

(A)    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the

 

A-I-102


Table of Contents

time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

(B)    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

(C)    Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors.

Section 7.03 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses or with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by such indemnitee, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article VII shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel and Secretary of the Corporation appointed pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws, and to any Vice President, Assistant Secretary, Assistant Treasurer or other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, but not an officer thereof as described in the preceding sentence, has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article VII.

SECTION 7.02    Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.01, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in appearing at, participating in or defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VII (which shall be governed by Section 7.03 (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires or in the case of an advance made in a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made solely upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement of expenses under Sections 7.01 and 7.02 or otherwise.

SECTION 7.03    Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.01 or 7.02 is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) sixty (60) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation or (ii) twenty (20) days after a claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if the indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in

 

A-I-105

the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

SECTION 7.04    Indemnification Not Exclusive.

(A)    The provision of indemnification to or the advancement of expenses and costs to any indemnitee under this Article VII, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article VII, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses and costs to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity.

(B)    Given that certain jointly indemnifiable claims (as defined below) may arise due to the service of the indemnitee as a director and/or officer of the Corporation and as a director, officer, employee or agent of one or more indemnitee-related entities (as defined below), the Corporation shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any such jointly indemnifiable claims, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, irrespective of any right of recovery the indemnitee may have from any indemnitee-related entity. Under no circumstance shall the Corporation be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by any indemnitee-related entity and no right of advancement or recovery the indemnitee may have from any indemnitee-related entity shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the indemnitee or the obligations of the Corporation hereunder. In the event that any indemnitee-related entity shall make any payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, such indemnitee-related entity shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee against the Corporation, and the indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable any indemnitee-related entity effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each of the indemnitee-related entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII, entitled to enforce this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII.

For purposes of this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(1)    The term “indemnitee-related entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Corporation or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which the indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Corporation or at the Corporation’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described herein) from whom an indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Corporation may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation (other than as a result of obligations under an insurance policy).

(2)    The term “jointly indemnifiable claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or

advancement of expenses from both an indemnitee-related entity and the Corporation pursuant to Delaware law, any agreement or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Corporation or an indemnitee-related entity, as applicable.

SECTION 7.05    Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article VII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

SECTION 7.06    Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

SECTION 7.07    Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

traded, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any Person or Persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may delegate to one or more officers of any member of the Company Group the authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of, or which is allocated to, the Committee herein, and which may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4(c), it is intended that any action under the Plan intended to qualify for an exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act related to Persons who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act will be taken only by the Board or by a committee or subcommittee of two (2) or more Qualifying Directors. However, the fact that any member of such committee or subcommittee shall fail to qualify as a Qualifying Director shall not invalidate any action that is otherwise valid under the Plan.

(d) Finality of Decisions. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time, and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including, without limitation, any member of the Company Group, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any stockholder of the Company.

No member of the Board, the Committee, or any employee or agent of any member of the Company Group (each such Person, an “Indemnifiable Person”) shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder (unless constituting fraud or a willful criminal act or omission). Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnifiable Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit, or proceeding to which such Indemnifiable Person may be a party or in which such Indemnifiable Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken or determination made with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Indemnifiable Person with the Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnifiable Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against such Indemnifiable Person, and the Company shall advance to such Indemnifiable Person any such expenses promptly upon written request (which request shall include an undertaking by the Indemnifiable Person to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined, as provided below, that the Indemnifiable Person is not entitled to be indemnified); provided, that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit, or proceeding and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable Person to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to further appeal) binding upon such Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts, omissions, or determinations of such Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnifiable Person’s fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the organizational documents of any member of the Company Group. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of or otherwise supersede any other rights of indemnification to which such Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the organizational documents of any member of the Company Group, as a matter of law, under an individual indemnification agreement or contract, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Indemnifiable Persons or hold such Indemnifiable Persons harmless.

(f) Board Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer the Plan with respect to such Awards. Any such actions by the Board shall be subject to the applicable rules of the securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority granted to the Committee under the Plan.

5. Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan; Limitations.

(a) Grants. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards to one or more Eligible Persons. All Awards granted under the Plan shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee, including, without limitation, attainment of Performance Conditions.

(b) Share Reserve and Limits. Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) subject to Section 11 of the Plan, no more than [            ]1 shares of Common Stock (the “Absolute Share Limit”) shall be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that the Absolute Share Limit shall be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Effective Date falls in an amount equal to the least of (x) [            ]2 shares of Common Stock, (y) 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (z) a lower number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board; (ii) subject to Section 11 of the Plan, no more than the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Absolute Share Limit may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan; and (iii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards granted during a single fiscal year to a Non-Employee Director (or with respect to each single year in the event awards are granted for more than one year), taken together with any cash fees paid to such Non-Employee Director during the fiscal year, shall not exceed $1,000,000 in total value with respect to each such fiscal year (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).

(c) Share Counting. Other than with respect to Substitute Awards, to the extent that an Award expires or is canceled, forfeited, terminated, settled in cash, or otherwise is settled without issuance to the Participant of the full number of shares of Common Stock to which the Award related, the unissued shares of Common Stock will again be available for grant under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock withheld in payment of the Exercise Price, or taxes relating to an Award, and shares equal to the number of shares surrendered in payment of any Exercise Price, or taxes relating to an Award, shall be deemed to constitute shares not issued to the Participant and shall be deemed to again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that such shares shall not become available for issuance hereunder if either: (i) the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered following the termination of the Plan; or (ii) at the time the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered, it would constitute a material revision of the Plan subject to stockholder approval under any then-applicable rules of the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.

(d) Source of Shares. Shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, shares of Common Stock purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

(e) Substitute Awards. Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding Awards previously granted by an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the Absolute Share Limit; provided, that Substitute Awards issued in connection with the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding Options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code shall be counted against the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, available shares of Common Stock under a stockholder-approved plan of an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the acquisition or combination transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.

6. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Eligible Persons.

7. Options.

(a) General. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which agreement need not be the same for each Participant. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of a member of the Company Group, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code; provided, that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to, and comply with, such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan.

(b) Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the case of Substitute Awards, the exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per share of Common Stock for each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share (determined as of the Date of Grant); provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of any member of the Company Group, the Exercise Price per share shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant.

(c) Vesting and Expiration; Termination.

(i) Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates or events, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Options at any time and for any reason. Options shall expire upon a date determined by the Committee, not to exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant (the “Option Period”); provided, that if the Option Period (other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option) would expire at a time when trading in the shares of Common Stock is prohibited by the Company’s insider trading policy (or Company-imposed “blackout period”), then the Option Period shall be automatically extended until the thirtieth (30th) day following the expiration of such prohibition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Option Period exceed five (5) years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of any member of the Company Group.

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, whether in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event of: (A) a Participant’s Termination by the Service Recipient for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire; (B) a Participant’s Termination due to death or Disability, each outstanding unvested Option granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested Option shall remain exercisable for one (1) year thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the Option Period); and (C) a Participant’s Termination for any other reason, each outstanding unvested Option granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested Option shall remain exercisable for ninety (90) days thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the Option Period).

(d) Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any Federal, state, local, and non-U.S. income, employment, and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld. Options which have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company (or telephonic instructions to the extent provided by the Committee) in accordance with the terms of the Option accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable: (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent, and/or shares of Common Stock valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in lieu of actual issuance of such shares to the Company); provided, that such shares of Common Stock are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)); or (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion, including, without limitation (A) in other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price; (B) if there is a public market for the shares of Common Stock at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Committee) a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price; or (C) a “net exercise” procedure effected by withholding the minimum number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of an Option that is needed to pay the Exercise Price. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be settled in cash.

(e) Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date the Participant makes a disqualifying disposition of any share of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such share of Common Stock before the later of (i) the date that is two (2) years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option, or (ii) the date that is one (1) year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession, as agent for the applicable Participant, of any share of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence, subject to complying with any instructions from such Participant as to the sale of such share of Common Stock.

(f) Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner which the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as it may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Any Option granted under the Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.

(b) Strike Price. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the case of Substitute Awards, the strike price (“Strike Price”) per share of Common Stock for each SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share (determined as of the Date of Grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a SAR granted in tandem with (or in substitution for) an Option previously granted shall have a Strike Price equal to the Exercise Price of the corresponding Option.

 

A-I-118


Table of Contents

(c) Vesting and Expiration; Termination.

(i) A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates or events, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any SAR at any time and for any reason. SARs shall expire upon a date determined by the Committee, not to exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant (the “SAR Period”); provided, that if the SAR Period would expire at a time when trading in the shares of Common Stock is prohibited by the Company’s insider trading policy (or Company-imposed “blackout period”), then the SAR Period shall be automatically extended until the thirtieth (30th) day following the expiration of such prohibition.

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, whether in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event of: (A) a Participant’s Termination by the Service Recipient for Cause, all outstanding SARs granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire; (B) a Participant’s Termination due to death or Disability, each outstanding unvested SAR granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested SAR shall remain exercisable for one (1) year thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the SAR Period); and (C) a Participant’s Termination for any other reason, each outstanding unvested SAR granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested SAR shall remain exercisable for ninety (90) days thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the SAR Period).

(d) Method of Exercise. SARs which have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded.

(e) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any Federal, state, local, and non-U.S. income, employment, and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be settled in cash.

9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) General. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Notation; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate registered in the name of the Participant to be issued or shall cause share(s) of Common Stock to be registered in the name of the Participant and held in book-entry form subject to the Company’s directions and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than issued to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute and deliver (in a manner permitted under Section 13(a) of the Plan or as otherwise determined by the Committee) an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank stock

Table of Contents

power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to shares of Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Restricted Stock. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any stock certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. A Participant shall have no rights or privileges as a stockholder as to Restricted Stock Units.

(c) Vesting; Termination.

(i) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall vest, and any applicable Restricted Period shall lapse, in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such dates or events, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit or the lapsing of any applicable Restricted Period at any time and for any reason.

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, whether in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, have vested, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall cease and (B) unvested shares of Restricted Stock and unvested Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.

(d) Issuance of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(i) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration the Company shall issue to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate (or, if applicable, a notice evidencing a book-entry notation) evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share).

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall issue to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, without charge, one (1) share of Common Stock (or other securities or other property, as applicable) for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (A) pay cash or part cash and part shares of Common Stock in lieu of issuing only shares of Common Stock in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (B) defer the issuance of shares of Common Stock (or cash or part cash and part shares of Common Stock, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period if such extension would not cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code. If a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock in respect of such Restricted Stock Units, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units.

(e) Legends on Restricted Stock. Each certificate, if any, or book entry representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan, if any, shall bear a legend or book-entry notation substantially in the form of the following, in addition to any other information the Company deems appropriate, until the lapse of all restrictions with respect to such shares of Common Stock:

Each Other Equity-Based Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and each Other Cash-Based Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced in such form as the Committee may determine from time to time. Each Other Equity-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award, as applicable, so granted shall be subject to such conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement or other form evidencing such Award, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 13(c) of the Plan.

11. Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted hereunder (other than Other Cash-Based Awards):

(a) General. In the event of (i) any dividend (other than regular cash dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the shares of Common Stock (including a Change in Control), or (ii) unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, including changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations, or other requirements, that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, could result in substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, Participants (any event in (i) or (ii), an “Adjustment Event”), the Committee shall, in respect of any such Adjustment Event, make such proportionate substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems equitable, to any or all of: (A) the Absolute Share Limit, or any other limit applicable under the Plan with respect to the number of Awards which may be granted hereunder; (B) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) which may be issued in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan or any Sub-Plan; and (C) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (I) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate; (II) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award; or (III) any applicable performance measures; provided, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor pronouncement thereto)), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring. Any adjustment under this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) Adjustment Events. Without limiting the foregoing, except as may otherwise be provided in an Award Agreement, in connection with any Adjustment Event, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for any one or more of the following:

(i) substitution or assumption of Awards (or awards of an acquiring company), acceleration of the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of Awards, or a period of time (which shall not be required to be more than ten (10) days) for Participants to exercise outstanding Awards prior to the occurrence of such event (and any such Award not so exercised shall terminate upon the occurrence of such event); and

(ii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, cancellation of any one or more outstanding Awards and payment to the holders of such Awards that

 

A-I-121


Table of Contents

are vested as of such cancellation (including, without limitation, any Awards that would vest as a result of the occurrence of such event but for such cancellation or for which vesting is accelerated by the Committee in connection with such event) the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which value, if applicable, may be based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including, without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor), or, in the case of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards that are not vested as of such cancellation, a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards prior to cancellation, or the underlying shares in respect thereof.

Payments to holders pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in the form of such other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or combination thereof) as such Participant would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable Exercise Price or Strike Price).

(c) Other Requirements. Prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this Section 11, the Committee may require a Participant to (i) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title to the Participant’s Awards; (ii) bear such Participant’s pro rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions as the other holders of Common Stock, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code; and (iii) deliver customary transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee.

(d) Fractional Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section 11 may provide for the elimination of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject to an Award.

(e) Binding Effect. Any adjustment, substitution, determination of value or other action taken by the Committee under this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

12. Amendments and Termination.

(a) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if: (i) such approval is necessary to comply with any regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company may be listed or quoted) or for changes in GAAP to new accounting standards; (ii) it would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan (except for increases pursuant to Section 5 or 11 of the Plan), or (iii) it would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan; provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder, or beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall be made to the last proviso of Section 12(b) of the Plan without stockholder approval.

Table of Contents

(b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award Agreement, prospectively or retroactively (including after a Participant’s Termination); provided, that, other than pursuant to Section 11, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation, or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 11 of the Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR; (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR (with a lower Exercise Price or Strike Price, as the case may be) or other Award or cash payment that is greater than the intrinsic value (if any) of the cancelled Option or SAR; and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action which is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted.

13. General.

(a) Award Agreements. Each Award (other than an Other Cash-Based Award) under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant to whom such Award was granted and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including, without limitation, the effect on such Award of the death, Disability, or Termination of a Participant, or of such other events as may be determined by the Committee. For purposes of the Plan, an Award Agreement may be in any such form (written or electronic) as determined by the Committee (including, without limitation, a Board or Committee resolution, an employment agreement, a notice, a certificate, or a letter) evidencing the Award. The Committee need not require an Award Agreement to be signed by the Participant or a duly authorized representative of the Company.

(b) Nontransferability.

(i) Each Award shall be exercisable only by such Participant to whom such Award was granted during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold, or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant (unless such transfer is specifically required pursuant to a domestic relations order or by applicable law) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against any member of the Company Group; provided, that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, without consideration, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award Agreement to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to: (A) any Person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act or any successor form of registration statement promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and the Participant’s Immediate Family Members; (C) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and the Participant’s Immediate Family Members; or (D) a beneficiary to whom donations are eligible to be treated as “charitable contributions” for federal income tax purposes (each transferee described in clauses (A), (B), (C), and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan.

 

A-I-123


Table of Contents

(iii) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with clause (ii) above shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan or in any applicable Award Agreement to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that: (A) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award Agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate; (C) neither the Committee nor the Company shall be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under the Plan or otherwise; and (D) the consequences of a Participant’s Termination under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(c) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.

(i) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide a Participant as part of an Award with dividends, dividend equivalents, or similar payments in respect of Awards, payable in cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities, other Awards or other property (in each case, without interest), on a current or deferred basis, on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, payment directly to the Participant, withholding of such amounts by the Company subject to vesting of the Award or reinvestment in additional shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock or other Awards.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, any dividend otherwise payable in respect of any share of Restricted Stock that remains subject to vesting conditions at the time of payment of such dividend shall be retained by the Company, remain subject to the same vesting conditions as the share of Restricted Stock to which the dividend relates and shall be delivered (without interest) to the Participant within fifteen (15) days following the date on which such restrictions on such Restricted Stock lapse (and the right to any such accumulated dividends shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock to which such dividends relate).

(iii) To the extent provided in an Award Agreement, the holder of outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to be credited with dividend equivalent payments (upon the payment by the Company of dividends on shares of Common Stock) either in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends (and interest may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be credited on the amount of cash dividend equivalents at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee), which accumulated dividend equivalents (and interest thereon, if applicable) shall be payable at the same time as the underlying Restricted Stock Units are settled following the date on which the Restricted Period lapses with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, and if such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividend equivalent payments (or interest thereon, if applicable).

(d) Tax Withholding.

(i) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, an amount in cash (by check or wire transfer) equal to the aggregate amount of any income, employment, and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld in respect of an Award. Alternatively, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy this requirement by withholding such amount from any cash compensation or other cash amounts owing to a Participant.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may (but is not obligated to), in its sole discretion, permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or any portion of the minimum income, employment, and/or

 

A-I-124


Table of Contents

other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld with respect to an Award by: (A) the delivery of shares of Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the Participant and vested for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment under applicable accounting standards) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof); or (B) having the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting, or settlement of the Award, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to an amount, subject to clause (iii) below, not in excess of such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof).

(iii) The Committee, subject to its having considered the applicable accounting impact of any such determination, has full discretion to allow Participants to satisfy, in whole or in part, any additional income, employment, and/or other applicable taxes payable by them with respect to an Award by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, a Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting, or settlement of the Award, as applicable, shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding liability (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum statutory withholding amount(s) in a Participant’s relevant tax jurisdictions).

(e) Data Protection. By participating in the Plan or accepting any rights granted under it, each Participant consents to the collection and processing of personal data relating to the Participant so that the Company and its Affiliates can fulfill their obligations and exercise their rights under the Plan and generally administer and manage the Plan. This data will include, but may not be limited to, data about participation in the Plan and shares offered or received, purchased, or sold under the Plan from time to time and other appropriate financial and other data (such as the date on which the Awards were granted) about the Participant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(f) No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of any member of the Company Group, or other Person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Service Recipient or any other member of the Company Group, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. The Service Recipient or any other member of the Company Group may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have waived any claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under the Plan or any Award Agreement, except to the extent of any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Service Recipient and/or any member of the Company Group and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on, or after the Date of Grant.

(g) International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of the United States of America, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the Plan and create or amend Sub-Plans or amend outstanding Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant or any member of the Company Group.

(h) Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more Persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries, as applicable, who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan upon the Participant’s death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change the Participant’s beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, the Participant’s estate.

(i) Termination. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, unless determined otherwise by the Committee at any point following such event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due to illness, vacation, or leave of absence (including, without limitation, a call to active duty for military service through a Reserve or National Guard unit) nor a transfer from employment or service with one Service Recipient to employment or service with another Service Recipient (or vice-versa) shall be considered a Termination; and (ii) if a Participant undergoes a Termination, but such Participant continues to provide services to the Company Group in a non-employee capacity, such change in status shall not be considered a Termination for purposes of the Plan. Further, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event that any Service Recipient ceases to be a member of the Company Group (by reason of sale, divestiture, spin-off, or other similar transaction), unless a Participant’s employment or service is transferred to another entity that would constitute a Service Recipient immediately following such transaction, such Participant shall be deemed to have suffered a Termination hereunder as of the date of the consummation of such transaction.

(j) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no Person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of shares of Common Stock which are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued or delivered to such Person.

(k) Government and Other Regulations.

(i) The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in shares of Common Stock or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel (if the Company has requested such an opinion), satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Common Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all shares of Common Stock or other securities of any member of the Company Group issued under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the Federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted, and any other applicable Federal, state, local, or non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations, and other requirements, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9 of the Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on certificates representing shares of Common Stock or other securities of any member of the Company Group issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference to such restrictions or may cause such Common Stock or other securities of any member of the Company Group issued under the Plan in book-entry form to be held subject to the Company’s instructions or subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders. Notwithstanding any provision

 

A-I-126


Table of Contents

in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add, at any time, any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

(ii) The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Common Stock to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock from the Company, and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Stock to the public markets, illegal, impracticable, or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code: (A) pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (I) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares would have been vested or issued, as applicable), over (II) the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price (in the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a condition of issuance of shares of Common Stock (in the case of any other Award), with such amount being delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award (or portion thereof) or (B) in the case of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards, provide the Participant with a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards, or the underlying shares in respect thereof.

(l) No Section 83(b) Elections Without Consent of Company. No election under Section 83(b) of the Code or under a similar provision of law may be made unless expressly permitted by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action of the Committee (or its designee in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan) in writing prior to the making of such election. If a Participant, in connection with the acquisition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan or otherwise, is expressly permitted to make such election and the Participant makes the election, the Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code or other applicable provision.

(m) Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for the Participant’s affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such Person or the Participant’s estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to the Participant’s spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such Person, or any other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such Person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

(n) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of equity-based awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(o) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and a Participant or other Person, on the other hand. No provision of the Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the

 

A-I-127


Table of Contents

Company be obligated to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other service providers under general law.

(p) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of any member of the Company Group and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any agent of the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than himself or herself.

(q) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance, or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan or as required by applicable law.

(r) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws’ provisions thereof. EACH PARTICIPANT WHO ACCEPTS AN AWARD IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH PARTICIPANT IN RESPECT OF THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

(s) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(t) Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

(u) Section 409A of the Code.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, it is intended that the provisions of the Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Each Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or in respect of such Participant in connection with the Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Service Recipient nor any other member of the Company Group shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Participant (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. With respect to any Award that is considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, references in the Plan to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each of the payments that may be made in respect of any Award granted under the Plan is designated as a separate payment.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no payments in respect of any Awards that are

“deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and which would otherwise be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be made to such Participant prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. Following any applicable six (6)-month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code that is also a business day.

(iii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event that the timing of payments in respect of any Award (that would otherwise be considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code) are accelerated upon the occurrence of (A) a Change in Control, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the event giving rise to the Change in Control satisfies the definition of a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation pursuant to Section 409A of the Code or (B) a Disability, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the Disability also satisfies the definition of “Disability” pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(v) Clawback/Repayment. All Awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time; and (ii) applicable law. Further, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to the extent that the Participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the Participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company.

(w) Detrimental Activity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Participant has engaged in any Detrimental Activity, as determined by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for one or more of the following:

(i) cancellation of any or all of such Participant’s outstanding Awards; or

(ii) forfeiture by the Participant of any gain realized on the vesting or exercise of Awards, and repayment of any such gain promptly to the Company.

(x) Right of Offset. The Company will have the right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock (or other property or cash) under the Plan or any Award Agreement any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans, repayment obligations under any Awards, or amounts repayable to the Company pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile, or other employee programs) that the Participant then owes to any member of the Company Group and any amounts the Committee otherwise deems appropriate pursuant to any tax equalization policy or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee will have no right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock (or other property or cash) under the Plan or any Award Agreement if such offset could subject the Participant to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code in respect of an outstanding Award.

(y) Expenses; Titles and Headings. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company Group. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

Exhibit E

Treatment of 313 Acquisition LLC Equity

Prior to the Effective Time, 313 Acquisition LLC (“Parent”) and the Company shall take, or cause to take, all necessary actions to effectuate the following:

 

  1.

Each Class A Unitholder, other than the Holdback Executives and the Sponsor Unitholders, shall have the Class A Units held by each redeemed by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time for shares of common stock of Vivint Solar Inc. (“VSLR Common Stock”) and Company Common Stock, as described below, with an equivalent value as the Class A Units so redeemed, assuming the liquidation of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time and that, for purposes of such assumed liquidation, all Company Group Class B Units are vested (such assumed liquidation, the “Hypothetical Liquidation”), in a manner determined by the board of managers of Parent (the “Parent Board”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2012 (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Parent LLCA”). The number of shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock issued with respect to each Class A Unit in such redemptions shall be determined on a pro-rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock held by Parent as of the Effective Time. The relative value of Parent’s holdings shall be calculated using (i) with respect to shares of VSLR Common Stock, the VWAP of VSLR Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date that is three Business Days prior to the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, the product of the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the VWAP of Acquiror Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date that is three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the valuation principles set forth in this sentence, the “Valuation Principles”).

 

  a.

The Company Common Stock issued in such redemption (and any Acquiror Common Stock into which such Company Common Stock is converted into in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be subject to restrictions on Transfer until the first anniversary of the Closing Date.1

 

  b.

Holders of the Company Common Stock issued in such redemption (as subsequently converted into Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be eligible to be issued shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06(b), if applicable.

 

  2.

Holders of vested Company Group Class B Units as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Holdback Executives, shall have each such Company Group Class B Unit redeemed by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time for shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock as described below, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Unit so redeemed, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the Parent LLCA (assuming the Hypothetical Liquidation). The number of shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock issued with respect to each vested Company Group Class B Unit, in such redemptions shall be determined on a pro-rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock held by Parent as of the Effective Time. The relative value of Parent’s holdings shall be calculated using the Valuation Principles.

 

1 

For the avoidance of doubt, any shares of VSLR Common Stock issued to a holder in such redemption shall not be subject to any restrictions on Transfer following the Effective Time (except for any Vivint Solar trading policy to the extent applicable to such holder).

 

A-I-133

  a.

The Company Common Stock issued in such redemption (and any Acquiror Common Stock into which such Company Common Stock is converted into in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be subject to restrictions on Transfer until the first anniversary of the Closing Date. 2

 

  b.

The holders of the Company Common Stock issued in such redemption (as subsequently converted into Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be eligible to be issued shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06(b), if applicable.

 

  3.

Holders of unvested Company Group Class B Units as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Holdback Executives, shall have each such unvested Company Group Class B Unit redeemed by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time for a number of shares of Company Restricted Stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Units so redeemed, in a manner determined by the Parent Board in accordance with the terms of the Company Group Stock Plans and the Parent LLCA (assuming the Hypothetical Liquidation and that, after taking into account their respective deemed unit values, an unvested Company Group Class B Unit has a value equal to a vested Company Group Class B Unit with the same deemed unit value). Such shares of Company Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified by Section 6(a) of this Exhibit E).3

 

  a.

The holders of the Company Restricted Stock issued in such redemption (as subsequently converted into Rollover Restricted Stock in accordance with Section 3.05(d)(ii)) shall be eligible to be issued shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06(b), if applicable.

 

  4.

Treatment of Holdback Executives

As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company Group Class B Units (both vested and unvested) held by the Holdback Executives shall be converted into a number of Class A Units (the “Converted Class A Units”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the Parent LLCA, with an equivalent value (assuming the Hypothetical Liquidation and taking into account the deemed unit value) and subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified by Section 6(a) of this Exhibit E).

 

  b.

As of immediately following the Effective Time, the Class A Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Converted Class A Units) held by the Holdback Executives shall be automatically

  reclassified into a number of vested and, in the case of unvested Converted Class A Units, unvested Tracking Units4, subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Converted Class A Units (as modified by Section 6(a) of this Exhibit E), as applicable. As of immediately following the Effective Time the ratio of vested Tracking Units to unvested Tracking Units held by each Holdback Executive shall be the same for each type of Tracking Unit held by such Holdback Executive. The number of VSLR Tracking Units, VSH Tracking Units, VW Tracking Units and Other Property Tracking Units, respectively, to be issued to the Holdback Executives shall be determined on a pro-rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR Common Stock, Company Common Stock and common stock of Vivint Wireless, Inc. (“VW Common Stock”) and Other Property held by Parent as of immediately following the Effective Time. The relative value of Parent’s holdings of shares of VSLR Common Stock, Company Common Stock and VW Common Stock and Other Property shall be (i) calculated using the Valuation Principles and (ii) with respect to shares of VW Common Stock and Other Property, as determined by the Parent Board in good faith.

 

  c.

On the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time, ten (10%) percent of the then-vested VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units and VW Tracking Units held by the Holdback Executives as of such date, less the amount of any VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units and VW Tracking Units previously sold by, or distributed to, such Holdback Executive in accordance with Section 7, shall be redeemed by Parent for a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock and VW Common Stock equal to, with respect to each class of Tracking Unit, the proportion of the number of Tracking Units of a class being so redeemed compared to the aggregate number of Tracking Units of such class then outstanding multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock (or any other security or property into which such shares are converted) tracked by such Tracking Unit that are then owned by Parent, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  d.

On, or following, the 24-month anniversary of the Effective Time, upon written request to Parent by a Holdback Executive, Parent shall promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units and VW Tracking Units held by the Holdback Executives for a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock and VW Common Stock equal to, with respect to each class of Tracking Unit, the proportion of the number of Tracking Units of a class being so redeemed compared to the aggregate number of Tracking Units of such class then outstanding multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock (or any other security or property into which such shares are converted) tracked by such Tracking Unit that are then owned by Parent, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no obligation to redeem any Other Property Tracking Units at any time and may redeem such Other Property Tracking Units, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  e.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make distributions of shares of VSLR Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock and VW Common Stock to the Holdback Executives in respect of the applicable Tracking Units at any time, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  f.

For the avoidance of doubt any shares of VSLR Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock, and/or VW Common Stock issued to the Holdback Executive in such redemptions or distributions shall not be subject to any restrictions on Transfer unless otherwise required under the terms of the applicable stockholders agreement or agreed to by Parent (or the Acquiror) and the applicable Holdback Executive.

  5.

All shares of Acquired Common Stock issuable under Company Group Equity Awards (including any Rollover Equity Awards into which such Company Group Equity Awards are converted pursuant to Section 3.05), other than any (i) Company Group Equity Awards held by the Holdback Executives and (ii) awards under the Company Group LTIP Plans (including any awards under the Rollover LTIP Plans into which such awards are converted pursuant to Section 3.05(c)), shall be subject to restrictions on Transfer until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the applicable holder.

To the extent a Holdback Executive or Sponsor Unitholder elects to so participate, it will have a number of its applicable vested Tracking Units redeemed equal to the product of (a) the quotient of (i) the aggregate fair market value of the Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock, as applicable, so sold by Parent divided by (ii) the fair market value of a VSH Tracking Unit as of the time of such sale multiplied by (b) the quotient of (i) the number of its VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units or VW Tracking Units, as applicable, for which it has elected to participate in such sale divided by (ii) the aggregate number of vested VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units or VW Tracking Units, as applicable for which the Holdback Executives and the Sponsor Unitholders have elected to participate in such sale (such quotient described in this clause (b), the “Participation Percentage”), in exchange for an amount equal to the product of (x) the net proceeds of such sale

 

A-I-136


Table of Contents
  multiplied by (y) the Participation Percentage. To the extent that a Holdback Executive elects not to participate in such sale, upon written request to Parent by such Holdback Executive following such sale, Parent shall promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested Tracking Units held by the Holdback Executives which were eligible to be sold in such sale for shares of Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock, as applicable, with an equivalent value as the Tracking Units so redeemed, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  8.

For the avoidance of doubt, (a) with respect to any determination under this Exhibit E of the value of a Class A Unit or a Company Group Class B Unit or the value of Parent’s holdings of shares of Company Common Stock (or Acquiror Common Stock at or following the Effective Time), VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock or Other Property, to the extent any shares of Company Common Stock (or Acquiror Common Stock at or following the Effective Time), VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock have been, in whole or in part, sold or otherwise exchanged for other property (including cash) and such other property has not been distributed to the equityholders of Parent, such determination shall take into account such other property and (b) with respect to any redemption or distributions that involves the transfer of VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock, to the extent Parent has sold or otherwise exchanged its holdings of shares of VSLR Common Stock in their entirety or its holdings of shares of VW Common Stock in their entirety, no shares of VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock (as applicable) shall be transferred and, if such shares were sold or otherwise exchanged for other property and such other property has not been distributed to the equityholders of Parent, such transfer shall take into account and include a portion of such other property.

Annex 1

Exhibit E

Treatment of 313 Acquisition LLC Equity

Prior to the Effective Time, 313 Acquisition LLC (“Parent”) and the Company shall take, or cause to take, all necessary actions to effectuate the following:

 

  1.

Each Class A Unitholder, other than the Holdback Executives and the Sponsor Unitholders, shall have the Class A Units held by each redeemed by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time for shares of common stock of Vivint Solar Inc. (“VSLR Common Stock”) and Company Common Stock, as described below, with an equivalent value as the Class A Units so redeemed, assuming the liquidation of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time and that, for purposes of such assumed liquidation, all Company Group Class B Units are vested (such assumed liquidation, the “Hypothetical Liquidation”), in a manner determined by the board of managers of Parent (the “Parent Board”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2012 (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Parent LLCA”). The number of shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock issued with respect to each Class A Unit in such redemptions shall be determined on a pro-rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock held by Parent as of the Effective Time. The relative value of Parent’s holdings shall be calculated using (i) with respect to shares of VSLR Common Stock, the VWAP of VSLR Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date that is three Business Days prior to the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, the product of the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the VWAP of Acquiror Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date that is three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the valuation principles set forth in this sentence, the “Valuation Principles”).

 

  a.

The Company Common Stock issued in such redemption (and any Acquiror Common Stock into which such Company Common Stock is converted into in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be subject to restrictions on Transfer until the first anniversary of the Closing Date.1

 

  b.

Holders of the Company Common Stock issued in such redemption (as subsequently converted into Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be eligible to be issued shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.06(a), Section 3.06(b) and Section 3.06(c), if applicable.

 

  2.

Holders of vested Company Group Class B Units as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Holdback Executives, shall have each such Company Group Class B Unit redeemed by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time for shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock as described below, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Unit so redeemed, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the Parent LLCA (assuming the Hypothetical Liquidation). The number of shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock issued with respect to each vested Company Group Class B Unit, in such redemptions shall be determined on a pro-rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR Common Stock and Company Common Stock held by Parent as of the Effective Time. The relative value of Parent’s holdings shall be calculated using the Valuation Principles.

 

 

1 

For the avoidance of doubt, any shares of VSLR Common Stock issued to a holder in such redemption shall not be subject to any restrictions on Transfer following the Effective Time (except for any Vivint Solar trading policy to the extent applicable to such holder).

The holders of the Company Common Stock issued in such redemption (as subsequently converted into Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be eligible to be issued shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.06(a), Section 3.06(b) and Section 3.06(c), if applicable.

 

  3.

Holders of unvested Company Group Class B Units as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Holdback Executives, shall have each such unvested Company Group Class B Unit redeemed by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time for a number of shares of Company Restricted Stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Units so redeemed, in a manner determined by the Parent Board in accordance with the terms of the Company Group Stock Plans and the Parent LLCA (assuming the Hypothetical Liquidation and that, after taking into account their respective deemed unit values, an unvested Company Group Class B Unit has a value equal to a vested Company Group Class B Unit with the same deemed unit value). Such shares of Company Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified by Section 6(a) of this Exhibit E).3

 

  a.

The holders of the Company Restricted Stock issued in such redemption (as subsequently converted into Rollover Restricted Stock in accordance with Section 3.05(d)(ii)) shall be eligible to be issued shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.06(a), Section 3.06(b) and Section 3.06(c), if applicable.

 

  4.

Treatment of Holdback Executives

 

  a.

As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company Group Class B Units (both vested and unvested) held by the Holdback Executives shall be converted into a number of Class A Units (the “Converted Class A Units”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the Parent LLCA, with an equivalent value (assuming the Hypothetical Liquidation and taking into account the deemed unit value) and subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified by Section 6(a) of this Exhibit E).

 

 

2 

For the avoidance of doubt, any shares of VSLR Common Stock issued to a holder in such redemption shall not be subject to any restrictions on Transfer following the Effective Time (except for VSLR trading policy to the extent applicable to such holder).

3

For example:

   

An individual has 10,000 unvested Company Group Class B Units, of which 6,000 vest based on continued service with the Company over a three year period (e.g., 2,000 Company Group Class B Units vest on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date) and 4,000 vest based on continued service with the Company over a four year period from the Closing (e.g., 1,000 Company Group Class B Units vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the Closing Date).

   

If as a result of the redemption into Company Restricted Stock and conversion into Rollover Restricted Stock, the individual receives 1,000 shares of Rollover Restricted Stock:

   

600 of those shares will vest based on continued service with the Company over a three year period (e.g., 200 shares of Rollover Restricted Stock would vest on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date); and

   

400 of those shares will vest based on continued service with the Company over a four year period (e.g., 100 shares of Rollover Restricted Stock would vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the Closing Date).

  b.

As of immediately following the Effective Time, the Class A Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Converted Class A Units) held by the Holdback Executives shall be automatically reclassified into a number of vested and, in the case of unvested Converted Class A Units, unvested Tracking Units4, subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Converted Class A Units (as modified by Section 6(a) of this Exhibit E), as applicable. As of immediately following the Effective Time the ratio of vested Tracking Units to unvested Tracking Units held by each Holdback Executive shall be the same for each type of Tracking Unit held by such Holdback Executive. The number of VSLR Tracking Units, VSH Tracking Units, VW Tracking Units and Other Property Tracking Units, respectively, to be issued to the Holdback Executives shall be determined on a pro-rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR Common Stock, Company Common Stock and common stock of Vivint Wireless, Inc. (“VW Common Stock”) and Other Property held by Parent as of immediately following the Effective Time. The relative value of Parent’s holdings of shares of VSLR Common Stock, Company Common Stock and VW Common Stock and Other Property shall be (i) calculated using the Valuation Principles and (ii) with respect to shares of VW Common Stock and Other Property, as determined by the Parent Board in good faith.

 

  c.

On, or following, the day after the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, upon written request to Parent by a VSLR Holdback Executive, Parent shall promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units and VW Tracking Units held by the VSLR Holdback Executives for a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock and VW Common Stock equal to, with respect to each class of Tracking Unit, the proportion of the number of Tracking Units of a class being so redeemed compared to the aggregate number of Tracking Units of such class then outstanding multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock (or any other security or property into which such shares are converted) tracked by such Tracking Unit that are then owned by Parent, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no obligation to redeem any Other Property Tracking Units at any time and may redeem such Other Property Tracking Units, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  d.

On the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time, ten (10%) percent of the then-vested VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units and VW Tracking Units held by the VSH Holdback Executives as of such date, less the amount of any VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units and VW Tracking Units previously sold by, or distributed to, such VSH Holdback Executive in accordance with Section 7, shall be redeemed by Parent for a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock and VW Common Stock equal to, with respect to each class of Tracking Unit, the proportion of the number of Tracking Units of a class being so redeemed compared to the aggregate number of Tracking Units of such class then outstanding multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock (or any other security or property into which such shares are converted) tracked by such Tracking Unit that are then owned by Parent, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  e.

On, or following, the 24-month anniversary of the Effective Time, upon written request to Parent by a VSH Holdback Executive, Parent shall promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units and VW Tracking Units held by the VSH Holdback Executives for a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock and VW Common Stock equal to, with respect to each class of Tracking Unit, the proportion of the number of Tracking Units of a class being so redeemed compared

For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no obligation to redeem any Other Property Tracking Units at any time and may redeem such Other Property Tracking Units, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  f.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make distributions of shares of VSLR Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock and VW Common Stock to the Holdback Executives in respect of the applicable Tracking Units at any time, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

To the extent a VSH Holdback Executive or Sponsor Unitholder elects to so participate, it will have a number of its applicable vested Tracking Units redeemed equal to the product of (a) the quotient of (i) the aggregate fair market value of the Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock, as applicable, so sold by Parent divided by (ii) the fair market value of a VSH Tracking Unit as of the time of such sale multiplied by (b) the quotient of (i) the number of its VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units or VW Tracking Units, as applicable, for which it has elected to participate in such sale divided by (ii) the aggregate number of vested VSH Tracking Units, VSLR Tracking Units or VW Tracking Units, as applicable for which the VSH Holdback Executives and the Sponsor Unitholders have elected to participate in such sale (such quotient described in this clause (b), the “Participation Percentage”), in exchange for an amount equal to the product of (x) the net proceeds of such sale multiplied by (y) the Participation Percentage. To the extent that a VSH Holdback Executive elects not to participate in such sale, upon written request to Parent by such VSH Holdback Executive following such sale, Parent shall promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested Tracking Units held by the VSH Holdback Executives which were eligible to be sold in such sale for shares of Acquiror Common Stock, VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock, as applicable, with an equivalent value as the Tracking Units so redeemed, in a manner determined by the Parent Board, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent LLCA.

 

  8.

For the avoidance of doubt, (a) with respect to any determination under this Exhibit E of the value of a Class A Unit or a Company Group Class B Unit or the value of Parent’s holdings of shares of Company Common Stock (or Acquiror Common Stock at or following the Effective Time), VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock or Other Property, to the extent any shares of Company Common Stock (or Acquiror Common Stock at or following the Effective Time), VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock have been, in whole or in part, sold or otherwise exchanged for other property (including cash) and such other property has not been distributed to the equityholders of Parent, such determination shall take into account such other property and (b) with respect to any redemption or distributions that involves the transfer of VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock, to the extent Parent has sold or otherwise exchanged its holdings of shares of VSLR Common Stock in their entirety or its holdings of shares of VW Common Stock in their entirety, no shares of VSLR Common Stock or VW Common Stock (as applicable) shall be transferred and, if such shares were sold or otherwise exchanged for other property and such other property has not been distributed to the equityholders of Parent, such transfer shall take into account and include a portion of such other property.

Table of Contents

three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the Board of Directors (the “Classification Date”), Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date, the directors of the class to be elected at each annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any such director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to their respective class.

B.    Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be), although less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders; provided, however, that, subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock or those granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, by voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be) (and not by stockholders). Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

C.    Any or all of the directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed at any time either with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any such director or all such directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

D.    Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

E.    During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, have the right to elect additional directors pursuant to the provisions of this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) in respect of such series, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right

A.    At any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. At any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting, unless such action is recommended by all directors then in office; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section (C) of this Article IX.

C.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, the Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation) if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section (B) of this Article IX shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

D.    In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

E.    For purposes of this Article IX, “Affiliate” shall mean (a) in respect of any Stockholder Party, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by a Stockholder Party, controls a Stockholder Party or is under common control with a Stockholder Party and shall include any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (b) in respect of a Non-Employee Director, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Non-Employee Director (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation) and (c) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation.

A Person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of any corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such Person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Section, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

G.    To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article IX.

Annex C

THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

OF

THE STATE OF DELAWARE

SECTION 262 APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in § 363(b) of this title, no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h), as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

 

C-1


Table of Contents

(4) In the event of an amendment to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation contemplated by § 363(a) of this title, appraisal rights shall be available as contemplated by § 363(b) of this title, and the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as practicable, with the word “amendment” substituted for the words “merger or consolidation,” and the word “corporation” substituted for the words “constituent corporation” and/or “surviving or resulting corporation.”

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders

 

C-2


Table of Contents

on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates

of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1,000,000, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnifiable Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit, or proceeding to which such Indemnifiable Person may be a party or in which such Indemnifiable Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken or determination made with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Indemnifiable Person with the Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnifiable Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against such Indemnifiable Person, and the Company shall advance to such Indemnifiable Person any such expenses promptly upon written request (which request shall include an undertaking by the Indemnifiable Person to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined, as provided below, that the Indemnifiable Person is not entitled to be indemnified); provided, that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit, or proceeding and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable Person to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to further appeal) binding upon such Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts, omissions, or determinations of such Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnifiable Person’s fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the organizational documents of any member of the Company Group. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of or otherwise supersede any other rights of indemnification to which such Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the organizational documents of any member of the Company Group, as a matter of law, under an individual indemnification agreement or contract, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Indemnifiable Persons or hold such Indemnifiable Persons harmless.

(f) Board Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer the Plan with respect to such Awards. Any such actions by the Board shall be subject to the applicable rules of the securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority granted to the Committee under the Plan.

5. Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan; Limitations.

(a) Grants. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards to one or more Eligible Persons. All Awards granted under the Plan shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee, including, without limitation, attainment of Performance Conditions.

(b) Share Reserve and Limits. Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) subject to Section 11 of the Plan, no more than 34,250,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Absolute Share Limit”) shall be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that the Absolute Share Limit shall be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year following the 2020 fiscal year in an amount equal to the least of (x) 17,125,000 shares of Common Stock, (y) 7.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (z) a lower number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board; (ii) subject to Section 11 of the Plan, no more than the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Absolute Share Limit may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan; and (iii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards granted during a single fiscal year to a Non-Employee Director (or with respect to each single year in the event awards are granted for more than one year), taken together with any cash fees paid to such Non-Employee Director during the fiscal year, shall not exceed $1,000,000 in total value with respect to each such fiscal year (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).

(c) Share Counting. Other than with respect to Substitute Awards, to the extent that an Award expires or is canceled, forfeited, terminated, settled in cash, or otherwise is settled without issuance to the Participant of the full number of shares of Common Stock to which the Award related, the unissued shares of Common Stock will again be available for grant under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock withheld in payment of the Exercise Price, or taxes relating to an Award, and shares equal to the number of shares surrendered in payment of any Exercise Price, or taxes relating to an Award, shall be deemed to constitute shares not issued to the Participant and shall be deemed to again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that such shares shall not become available for issuance hereunder if either: (i) the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered following the termination of the Plan; or (ii) at the time the applicable shares are withheld or surrendered, it would constitute a material revision of the Plan subject to stockholder approval under any then-applicable rules of the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.

(d) Source of Shares. Shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, shares of Common Stock purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

(e) Substitute Awards. Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding Awards previously granted by an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the Absolute Share Limit; provided, that Substitute Awards issued in connection with the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding Options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code shall be counted against the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, available shares of Common Stock under a stockholder-approved plan of an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the acquisition or combination transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.

6. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Eligible Persons.

7. Options.

(a) General. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which agreement need not be the same for each Participant. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of a member of the Company Group, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code; provided, that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to, and comply with, such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan.

(b) Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the case of Substitute Awards, the exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per share of Common Stock for each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share (determined as of the Date of Grant); provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of any member of the Company Group, the Exercise Price per share shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant.

(c) Vesting and Expiration; Termination.

(i) Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates or events, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Options at any time and for any reason. Options shall expire upon a date determined by the Committee, not to exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant (the “Option Period”); provided, that if the Option Period (other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option) would expire at a time when trading in the shares of Common Stock is prohibited by the Company’s insider trading policy (or Company-imposed “blackout period”), then the Option Period shall be automatically extended until the thirtieth (30th) day following the expiration of such prohibition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Option Period exceed five (5) years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of any member of the Company Group.

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, whether in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event of: (A) a Participant’s Termination by the Service Recipient for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire; (B) a Participant’s Termination due to death or Disability, each outstanding unvested Option granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested Option shall remain exercisable for one (1) year thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the Option Period); and (C) a Participant’s Termination for any other reason, each outstanding unvested Option granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested Option shall remain exercisable for ninety (90) days thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the Option Period).

(d) Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any Federal, state, local, and non-U.S. income, employment, and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld. Options which have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company (or telephonic instructions to the extent provided by the Committee) in accordance with the terms of the Option accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable: (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent, and/or shares of Common Stock valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in lieu of actual issuance of such shares to the Company); provided, that such shares of Common Stock are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)); or (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion, including, without limitation (A) in other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price; (B) if there is a public market for the shares of Common Stock at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Committee) a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price; or (C) a “net exercise” procedure effected by withholding the minimum number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of an Option that is needed to pay the Exercise Price. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be settled in cash.

(e) Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date the Participant makes a disqualifying disposition of any share of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such share of Common Stock before the later of (i) the date that is two (2) years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option, or (ii) the date that is one (1) year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession, as agent for the applicable Participant, of any share of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence, subject to complying with any instructions from such Participant as to the sale of such share of Common Stock.

(f) Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner which the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as it may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Any Option granted under the Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.

(b) Strike Price. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the case of Substitute Awards, the strike price (“Strike Price”) per share of Common Stock for each SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share (determined as of the Date of Grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a SAR granted in tandem with (or in substitution for) an Option previously granted shall have a Strike Price equal to the Exercise Price of the corresponding Option.

 

D-10


Table of Contents

(c) Vesting and Expiration; Termination.

(i) A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates or events, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any SAR at any time and for any reason. SARs shall expire upon a date determined by the Committee, not to exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant (the “SAR Period”); provided, that if the SAR Period would expire at a time when trading in the shares of Common Stock is prohibited by the Company’s insider trading policy (or Company-imposed “blackout period”), then the SAR Period shall be automatically extended until the thirtieth (30th) day following the expiration of such prohibition.

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, whether in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event of: (A) a Participant’s Termination by the Service Recipient for Cause, all outstanding SARs granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire; (B) a Participant’s Termination due to death or Disability, each outstanding unvested SAR granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested SAR shall remain exercisable for one (1) year thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the SAR Period); and (C) a Participant’s Termination for any other reason, each outstanding unvested SAR granted to such Participant shall immediately terminate and expire, and each outstanding vested SAR shall remain exercisable for ninety (90) days thereafter (but in no event beyond the expiration of the SAR Period).

(d) Method of Exercise. SARs which have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded.

(e) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any Federal, state, local, and non-U.S. income, employment, and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be settled in cash.

9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) General. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Notation; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate registered in the name of the Participant to be issued or shall cause share(s) of Common Stock to be registered in the name of the Participant and held in book-entry form subject to the Company’s directions and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than issued to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute and deliver (in a manner permitted under Section 13(a) of the Plan or as otherwise determined by the Committee) an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank stock

power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to shares of Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Restricted Stock. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any stock certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. A Participant shall have no rights or privileges as a stockholder as to Restricted Stock Units.

(c) Vesting; Termination.

(i) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall vest, and any applicable Restricted Period shall lapse, in such manner and on such date or dates or upon such event or events as determined by the Committee including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such dates or events, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit or the lapsing of any applicable Restricted Period at any time and for any reason.

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, whether in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, have vested, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall cease and (B) unvested shares of Restricted Stock and unvested Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.

(d) Issuance of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(i) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration the Company shall issue to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate (or, if applicable, a notice evidencing a book-entry notation) evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share).

(ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall issue to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, without charge, one (1) share of Common Stock (or other securities or other property, as applicable) for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (A) pay cash or part cash and part shares of Common Stock in lieu of issuing only shares of Common Stock in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (B) defer the issuance of shares of Common Stock (or cash or part cash and part shares of Common Stock, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period if such extension would not cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code. If a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock in respect of such Restricted Stock Units, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units.

(e) Legends on Restricted Stock. Each certificate, if any, or book entry representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan, if any, shall bear a legend or book-entry notation substantially in the form of the following, in addition to any other information the Company deems appropriate, until the lapse of all restrictions with respect to such shares of Common Stock:

10. Other Equity-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards. The Committee may grant Other Equity-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards under the Plan to Eligible Persons, alone or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts and dependent on such conditions as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan. Each Other Equity-Based Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and each Other Cash-Based Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced in such form as the Committee may determine from time to time. Each Other Equity-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award, as applicable, so granted shall be subject to such conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement or other form evidencing such Award, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 13(c) of the Plan.

11. Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted hereunder (other than Other Cash-Based Awards):

(a) General. In the event of (i) any dividend (other than regular cash dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the shares of Common Stock (including a Change in Control), or (ii) unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, including changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations, or other requirements, that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, could result in substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, Participants (any event in (i) or (ii), an “Adjustment Event”), the Committee shall, in respect of any such Adjustment Event, make such proportionate substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems equitable, to any or all of: (A) the Absolute Share Limit, or any other limit applicable under the Plan with respect to the number of Awards which may be granted hereunder; (B) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) which may be issued in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan or any Sub-Plan; and (C) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (I) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate; (II) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award; or (III) any applicable performance measures; provided, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor pronouncement thereto)), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring. Any adjustment under this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) Adjustment Events. Without limiting the foregoing, except as may otherwise be provided in an Award Agreement, in connection with any Adjustment Event, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for any one or more of the following:

(i) substitution or assumption of Awards (or awards of an acquiring company), acceleration of the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of Awards, or a period of time (which shall not be required to be more than ten (10) days) for Participants to exercise outstanding Awards prior to the occurrence of such event (and any such Award not so exercised shall terminate upon the occurrence of such event); and

(ii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, cancellation of any one or more outstanding Awards and payment to the holders of such Awards that

 

D-13

are vested as of such cancellation (including, without limitation, any Awards that would vest as a result of the occurrence of such event but for such cancellation or for which vesting is accelerated by the Committee in connection with such event) the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which value, if applicable, may be based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including, without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor), or, in the case of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards that are not vested as of such cancellation, a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards prior to cancellation, or the underlying shares in respect thereof.

Payments to holders pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in the form of such other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or combination thereof) as such Participant would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable Exercise Price or Strike Price).

(c) Other Requirements. Prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this Section 11, the Committee may require a Participant to (i) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title to the Participant’s Awards; (ii) bear such Participant’s pro rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions as the other holders of Common Stock, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code; and (iii) deliver customary transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee.

(d) Fractional Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section 11 may provide for the elimination of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject to an Award.

(e) Binding Effect. Any adjustment, substitution, determination of value or other action taken by the Committee under this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

12. Amendments and Termination.

(a) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if: (i) such approval is necessary to comply with any regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company may be listed or quoted) or for changes in GAAP to new accounting standards; (ii) it would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan (except for increases pursuant to Section 5 or 11 of the Plan), or (iii) it would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan; provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder, or beneficiary.

D-14


Table of Contents

(b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award Agreement, prospectively or retroactively (including after a Participant’s Termination); provided, that, other than pursuant to Section 11, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation, or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 11 of the Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR; (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR (with a lower Exercise Price or Strike Price, as the case may be) or other Award or cash payment that is greater than the intrinsic value (if any) of the cancelled Option or SAR; and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action which is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted.

13. General.

(a) Award Agreements. Each Award (other than an Other Cash-Based Award) under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant to whom such Award was granted and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including, without limitation, the effect on such Award of the death, Disability, or Termination of a Participant, or of such other events as may be determined by the Committee. For purposes of the Plan, an Award Agreement may be in any such form (written or electronic) as determined by the Committee (including, without limitation, a Board or Committee resolution, an employment agreement, a notice, a certificate, or a letter) evidencing the Award. The Committee need not require an Award Agreement to be signed by the Participant or a duly authorized representative of the Company.

(b) Nontransferability.

(i) Each Award shall be exercisable only by such Participant to whom such Award was granted during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold, or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant (unless such transfer is specifically required pursuant to a domestic relations order or by applicable law) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against any member of the Company Group; provided, that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, without consideration, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award Agreement to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to: (A) any Person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act or any successor form of registration statement promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and the Participant’s Immediate Family Members; (C) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and the Participant’s Immediate Family Members; or (D) a beneficiary to whom donations are eligible to be treated as “charitable contributions” for federal income tax purposes (each transferee described in clauses (A), (B), (C), and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan.

(iii) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with clause (ii) above shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan or in any applicable Award Agreement to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that: (A) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award Agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate; (C) neither the Committee nor the Company shall be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under the Plan or otherwise; and (D) the consequences of a Participant’s Termination under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(c) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.

(i) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide a Participant as part of an Award with dividends, dividend equivalents, or similar payments in respect of Awards, payable in cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities, other Awards or other property (in each case, without interest), on a current or deferred basis, on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, payment directly to the Participant, withholding of such amounts by the Company subject to vesting of the Award or reinvestment in additional shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock or other Awards.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, any dividend otherwise payable in respect of any share of Restricted Stock that remains subject to vesting conditions at the time of payment of such dividend shall be retained by the Company, remain subject to the same vesting conditions as the share of Restricted Stock to which the dividend relates and shall be delivered (without interest) to the Participant within fifteen (15) days following the date on which such restrictions on such Restricted Stock lapse (and the right to any such accumulated dividends shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock to which such dividends relate).

(iii) To the extent provided in an Award Agreement, the holder of outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to be credited with dividend equivalent payments (upon the payment by the Company of dividends on shares of Common Stock) either in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends (and interest may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be credited on the amount of cash dividend equivalents at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee), which accumulated dividend equivalents (and interest thereon, if applicable) shall be payable at the same time as the underlying Restricted Stock Units are settled following the date on which the Restricted Period lapses with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, and if such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividend equivalent payments (or interest thereon, if applicable).

(d) Tax Withholding.

(i) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, an amount in cash (by check or wire transfer) equal to the aggregate amount of any income, employment, and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld in respect of an Award. Alternatively, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy this requirement by withholding such amount from any cash compensation or other cash amounts owing to a Participant.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may (but is not obligated to), in its sole discretion, permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or any portion of the minimum income, employment, and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld with respect to an Award by: (A) the delivery of shares of Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the Participant and vested for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment under applicable accounting standards) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof); or (B) having the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting, or settlement of the Award, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to an amount, subject to clause (iii) below, not in excess of such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof).

(iii) The Committee, subject to its having considered the applicable accounting impact of any such determination, has full discretion to allow Participants to satisfy, in whole or in part, any additional income, employment, and/or other applicable taxes payable by them with respect to an Award by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, a Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting, or settlement of the Award, as applicable, shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding liability (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum statutory withholding amount(s) in a Participant’s relevant tax jurisdictions).

(e) Data Protection. By participating in the Plan or accepting any rights granted under it, each Participant consents to the collection and processing of personal data relating to the Participant so that the Company and its Affiliates can fulfill their obligations and exercise their rights under the Plan and generally administer and manage the Plan. This data will include, but may not be limited to, data about participation in the Plan and shares offered or received, purchased, or sold under the Plan from time to time and other appropriate financial and other data (such as the date on which the Awards were granted) about the Participant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(f) No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of any member of the Company Group, or other Person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Service Recipient or any other member of the Company Group, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. The Service Recipient or any other member of the Company Group may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have waived any claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under the Plan or any Award Agreement, except to the extent of any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Service Recipient and/or any member of the Company Group and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on, or after the Date of Grant.

(g) International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of the United States of America, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the Plan and create or amend Sub-Plans or amend outstanding Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant or any member of the Company Group.

(h) Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more Persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries, as applicable, who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan upon the Participant’s death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change the Participant’s beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, the Participant’s estate.

(i) Termination. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, unless determined otherwise by the Committee at any point following such event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due to illness, vacation, or leave of absence (including, without limitation, a call to active duty for military service through a Reserve or National Guard unit) nor a transfer from employment or service with one Service Recipient to employment or service with another Service Recipient (or vice-versa) shall be considered a Termination; and (ii) if a Participant undergoes a Termination, but such Participant continues to provide services to the Company Group in a non-employee capacity, such change in status shall not be considered a Termination for purposes of the Plan. Further, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event that any Service Recipient ceases to be a member of the Company Group (by reason of sale, divestiture, spin-off, or other similar transaction), unless a Participant’s employment or service is transferred to another entity that would constitute a Service Recipient immediately following such transaction, such Participant shall be deemed to have suffered a Termination hereunder as of the date of the consummation of such transaction.

(j) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no Person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of shares of Common Stock which are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued or delivered to such Person.

(k) Government and Other Regulations.

(i) The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in shares of Common Stock or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel (if the Company has requested such an opinion), satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Common Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all shares of Common Stock or other securities of any member of the Company Group issued under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the Federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted, and any other applicable

Table of Contents

Federal, state, local, or non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations, and other requirements, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9 of the Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on certificates representing shares of Common Stock or other securities of any member of the Company Group issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference to such restrictions or may cause such Common Stock or other securities of any member of the Company Group issued under the Plan in book-entry form to be held subject to the Company’s instructions or subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add, at any time, any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

(ii) The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Common Stock to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock from the Company, and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Stock to the public markets, illegal, impracticable, or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code: (A) pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (I) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares would have been vested or issued, as applicable), over (II) the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price (in the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a condition of issuance of shares of Common Stock (in the case of any other Award), with such amount being delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award (or portion thereof) or (B) in the case of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards, provide the Participant with a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Other Equity-Based Awards, or the underlying shares in respect thereof.

(l) No Section 83(b) Elections Without Consent of Company. No election under Section 83(b) of the Code or under a similar provision of law may be made unless expressly permitted by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action of the Committee (or its designee in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan) in writing prior to the making of such election. If a Participant, in connection with the acquisition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan or otherwise, is expressly permitted to make such election and the Participant makes the election, the Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code or other applicable provision.

(m) Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for the Participant’s affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such Person or the Participant’s estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to the Participant’s spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such Person, or any other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such Person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

(n) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of equity-based awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(o) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and a Participant or other Person, on the other hand. No provision of the Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company be obligated to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other service providers under general law.

(p) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of any member of the Company Group and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any agent of the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than himself or herself.

(q) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance, or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan or as required by applicable law.

(r) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws’ provisions thereof. EACH PARTICIPANT WHO ACCEPTS AN AWARD IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH PARTICIPANT IN RESPECT OF THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

(s) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(t) Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

(u) Section 409A of the Code.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, it is intended that the provisions of the Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Each Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or in respect of such Participant in connection with the Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Service Recipient nor any other member of the Company Group shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Participant (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. With respect to any Award that is considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, references in the Plan to

 

D-20


Table of Contents

“termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each of the payments that may be made in respect of any Award granted under the Plan is designated as a separate payment.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no payments in respect of any Awards that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and which would otherwise be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be made to such Participant prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. Following any applicable six (6)-month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code that is also a business day.

(iii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in the event that the timing of payments in respect of any Award (that would otherwise be considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code) are accelerated upon the occurrence of (A) a Change in Control, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the event giving rise to the Change in Control satisfies the definition of a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation pursuant to Section 409A of the Code or (B) a Disability, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the Disability also satisfies the definition of “Disability” pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(v) Clawback/Repayment. All Awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time; and (ii) applicable law. Further, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to the extent that the Participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the Participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company.

(w) Detrimental Activity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Participant has engaged in any Detrimental Activity, as determined by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for one or more of the following:

(i) cancellation of any or all of such Participant’s outstanding Awards; or

(ii) forfeiture by the Participant of any gain realized on the vesting or exercise of Awards, and repayment of any such gain promptly to the Company.

(x) Right of Offset. The Company will have the right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock (or other property or cash) under the Plan or any Award Agreement any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans, repayment obligations under any Awards, or amounts repayable to the Company pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile, or other employee programs) that the Participant then owes to any member of the Company Group and any amounts the Committee otherwise deems appropriate pursuant to any tax equalization policy or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Award is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee will have no right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock (or other property or cash) under the Plan or any Award Agreement if such offset could subject the Participant to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code in respect of an outstanding Award.

(y) Expenses; Titles and Headings. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company Group. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
