Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 19, 2017, Capitol Acquisition Corp. III, a Delaware corporation (“Capitol”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Capitol, Capitol Acquisition Holding Company Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability and wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol (“Holdings”), Capital Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (“Merger Sub”), Canyon Holdings (Cayman) L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Cision Owner”), and Canyon Holdings S.a r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée), having its registered office at 6D, L-2633 Senningerberg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and registered with the RCS under number B 184599 (“Cision”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Capitol and Cision will be effected through a “contribution and exchange” pursuant to which Cision will be contributed to Holdings in exchange for 82,100,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), of Holdings, and 2,000,000 warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares of Holdings (“Holdings Warrants”). Following such contribution and exchange, Merger Sub will merge with and into Capitol, with Capitol surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Merger”). Holdings intends to apply to list the Ordinary Shares and Holdings Warrants on the Nasdaq Stock Market in connection with the closing of this transaction. In connection with the Merger, the stockholders of Capitol will receive Ordinary Shares, and warrants to purchase Capitol’s common stock (“Capitol Warrants”) will become exercisable to purchase Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of such warrants. The directors and officers of Capitol (or their affiliates) and certain other holders of common stock of Capitol (collectively, the “Sponsors”) will also forfeit a certain number of Capitol Warrants at Closing, and an equal number of Holdings Warrants will be issued to Cision Owner in connection with the transaction. Cision Owner and current management of Cision will retain 100% of their equity in the combined company. If no Capital stockholders elect to redeem their shares, at the closing of the contemplated transaction, Cision Owner (and certain of its affiliates) will hold approximately 68% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and current stockholders of Capitol will hold approximately 32% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Cision Owner will also receive “earnout shares” totaling up to 6 million Ordinary Shares, issued in 2 million increments when Holding’s stock price reaches $13.00, $16.00 and $19.00 per share. In addition, under the circumstances described below under “Sponsor Support Agreement”, Cision Owner may be entitled to receive additional Ordinary Shares and Holdings Warrants.

Cision delivers a sophisticated, easy-to-use platform for communicators to reach relevant media influencers and craft compelling campaigns that impact customer behavior.

The proposed transaction is expected to be consummated by June 30, 2017, after the required approval by the stockholders of Capitol and the fulfillment of certain other conditions.

 

The following summaries of the Merger Agreement and the other agreements to be entered into by the parties are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Merger Agreement and agreements entered into in connection therewith. The Merger Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

SOME OF CISION’S FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DATA CONTAINED HEREIN AND IN THE EXHIBITS HERETO DOES NOT CONFORM TO SEC REGULATION S-X IN THAT IT INCLUDES CERTAIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION (EBITDA) NOT DERIVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“GAAP”). ACCORDINGLY, SUCH INFORMATION AND DATA WILL BE ADJUSTED AND PRESENTED DIFFERENTLY IN CAPITOL’S PROXY STATEMENT TO SOLICIT STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. CAPITOL AND CISION BELIEVE THAT THE PRESENTATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL TO INVESTORS AS IT INDICATES MORE CLEARLY THE ABILITY OF CISION TO MEET CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND OTHERWISE MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS AS THEY BECOME DUE.

THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND CAPITOL’S AND CISION’S CONTROL. WHILE ALL PROJECTIONS ARE NECESSARILY SPECULATIVE, CAPITOL AND CISION BELIEVE THAT THE PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION COVERING PERIODS BEYOND TWELVE MONTHS FROM ITS DATE OF PREPARATION CARRIES INCREASINGLY HIGHER LEVELS OF UNCERTAINTY AND SHOULD BE READ IN THAT CONTEXT. THERE WILL BE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACTUAL AND PROJECTED RESULTS, AND ACTUAL RESULTS MAY BE MATERIALLY GREATER OR MATERIALLY LESS THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THE PROJECTIONS. THE INCLUSION OF PROJECTIONS IN THIS REPORT AND THE EXHIBIT HERETO SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS AN INDICATION THAT CAPITOL AND CISION, OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, CONSIDERED OR CONSIDER THE PROJECTIONS TO BE A RELIABLE PREDICTION OF FUTURE EVENTS.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and the exhibits hereto are not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of CAPITOL or CISION, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.

This report and the exhibits hereto include “forward-looking statements”. CISION’S actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

NEITHER CAPITOL NOR CISION UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR REVISE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW. IMPORTANT FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, THAT MAY AFFECT ACTUAL RESULTS INCLUDE: CISION’S ABILITY TO EXECUTE ON ITS PLANS TO DEVELOP AND MARKET NEW PRODUCTS AND THE TIMING OF THESE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS; CISION’S ESTIMATES OF EXPENSES AND FUTURE REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY; CISION’S ESTIMATES OF THE SIZE OF THE MARKETS FOR ITS SOLUTIONS; THE RATE AND DEGREE OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF CISION’S SOLUTIONS; THE SUCCESS OF OTHER COMPETING TECHNOLOGIES THAT MAY BECOME AVAILABLE; THE IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE AND INTEREST RATE FLUCTUATIONS ON CISION’S RESULTS; CISION’S ABILITY TO PROTECT ITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; THE VALUATION OF CISION’S DEFERRED TAX ASSETS; CISION’S ESTIMATES REGARDING ITS CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS; CISION’S ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND INTEGRATE ACQUISITIONS; THE PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY OF CISION’S SERVICES; RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND PLATFORM PROVIDERS; DEPENDENCY ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE INTERNET; POTENTIAL LITIGATION INVOLVING CAPITOL OR CISION; AND GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IMPACTING DEMAND FOR CISION’S SERVICES. OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION DOES NOT CLOSE, INCLUDING DUE TO THE FAILURE TO RECEIVE REQUIRED SECURITY HOLDER APPROVALS, OR THE FAILURE OF OTHER CLOSING CONDITIONS.

THIS REPORT AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE ALL-INCLUSIVE OR TO CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION THAT A PERSON MAY DESIRE IN CONSIDERING AN INVESTMENT IN CAPITOL AND IS NOT INTENDED TO FORM THE BASIS OF ANY INVESTMENT DECISION IN CAPITOL.

Additional information concerning these and other risk factors WILL BE contained in CAPITOL’s filings with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning CAPITOL and CISION, the PROPOSED transaction or other matters and attributable to CAPITOL and CISION or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither CAPITOL nor CISION undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
