Item 4.Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On March 26, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the issuer consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, IEA Energy Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IEA Services”), Wind Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Wind Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), Oaktree Power Opportunities Fund III Delaware, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller’s Representative”), solely in its capacity as the seller’s representative and, solely for purposes of certain sections therein, M III Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor I LLC”), and M III Sponsor I LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Sponsor I LP” and together with Sponsor I LLC, the “Sponsors”), which provided for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub I with and into IEA Services with IEA Services surviving such merger and, immediately thereafter, merging with and into Merger Sub II with Merger Sub II surviving such merger as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together with, the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

 

On the Closing Date, the issuer changed its name from “M III Acquisition Corp.” to “Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc.”

 

Forfeiture Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Forfeiture Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2018, by and among the Company, Sponsor I LLC and Sponsor I LP (the “Forfeiture Agreement”), Sponsor I LLC and Sponsor I LP forfeited 130,337 shares and 8,316 shares, respectively, of Common Stock originally issued by the Company as “Founder Shares” (the “Founder Shares”). Such Founder Shares were forfeited in consideration of the Company’s obligation to issue 1,500,000 warrants to investors in exchange for such investors agreement to purchase and not tender for redemption an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription and Backstop Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2018 by and among the Company, Sponsor I LLC, Sponsor I LP and various subscribers identified therein.

 

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Forfeiture Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 and incorporated by reference.

 

 

 

 

Waiver, Consent and Agreement to Forfeit Founder Shares

 

Pursuant to the Waiver, Consent and Agreement to Forfeit Founder Shares, dated as of March 20, 2018, by and among the Company, the Seller, IEA, the Seller’s Representative, the Merger Subs, Sponsor I LLC and Sponsor I LP (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Sponsors agreed to forfeit at Closing to the Company an aggregate of 425,000 Founder Shares, of which 106,250 Founder Shares were comprised of “Earnout Shares” described in Section 1(a) of the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement (“$12 Earnout Shares”) and 106,250 Founder Shares were comprised of the “Earnout Shares” described in Section 1(b) of the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement (“$14 Earnout Shares”). The Company agreed to issue to Seller at Closing 425,000 shares of Common Stock, of which (i) 106,250 shares shall be subject to the same vesting terms applicable to the $12 Earnout Shares and (ii) 106,250 shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture terms applicable to the $14 Earnout Shares. The number of shares constituting $12 Earnout Shares and $14 Earnout Shares may be changed by mutual agreement of the Sponsors and the Seller’s Representative.

 

The Parties also agreed that an additional 525,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsors in the aggregate (of which twenty-five percent (25%) shall be comprised of $12 Earnout Shares and twenty-five percent (25%) shall be comprised of $14 Earnout Shares) (collectively, the “Transfer Restricted Shares”) shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Upon the determination of Final 2018 EBITDA and the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Seller pursuant to Section 3.6(f) of the Merger Agreement, such number of Transfer Restricted Shares (of which twenty-five percent (25%) shall be $12 Earnout Shares and twenty-five percent (25%) shall be $14 Earnout Shares) shall be released from such transfer restrictions that is equal to  (x) 525,000 multiplied by (y) the quotient of the aggregate number of Earnout Shares issued to Seller pursuant to Section 3.6(f) of the Merger Agreement divided by 9,000,000; provided that any $12 Earnout Shares or $14 Earnout Shares that would otherwise have vested in accordance with the terms of the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement shall be deemed vested upon release from such transfer restrictions. Upon the determination of Final 2019 EBITDA and the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Seller pursuant to Section 3.6(g) of the Merger Agreement, such number of Transfer Restricted Shares (of which twenty-five percent (25%) shall be $12 Earnout Shares and twenty-five percent (25%) shall be $14 Earnout Shares) shall be released from such transfer restrictions, in an aggregate amount that, together with the Founder Shares released pursuant to foregoing sentence, is equal to  (x) 525,000 multiplied by (y) the quotient of the aggregate number of Earnout Shares issued to the Seller pursuant to Section 3.6(g) of the Merger Agreement divided by 9,000,000; provided that any $12 Earnout Shares or $14 Earnout Shares that would otherwise have vested in accordance with the terms of the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement shall be deemed vested upon release from such transfer restrictions. Following the determination of Final 2019 EBITDA, any Transfer Restricted Shares that have not been released in accordance with foregoing sentences shall be automatically forfeited without any action by any party hereto or any other person, and the Company shall cancel such Transfer Restricted Shares for no consideration and shall issue an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock to Seller (with such newly issued shares to have the same vesting terms as the Transfer Restricted Shares which have been forfeited and canceled).

 

As a result of the forfeitures under the Forfeiture Agreement and the Waiver Agreement, Sponsor I LLC forfeited 529,845 shares of Common Stock in aggregate and Sponsor I LP forfeited 33,808 shares of Common Stock in aggregate.

 

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Forfeiture Agreement and the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.7 and 10.8, respectively, and incorporated by reference.

 

Investor Commitment Agreements 

 

During the period from March 15 to March 20, 2018, Sponsor I LLC and Sponsor I LP entered into various commitment agreements pursuant to which the investors party thereto agreed not to redeem, or to withdraw from redemption, shares of Common Stock in exchange for Founder Shares held by the Sponsors. Pursuant to the foregoing commitment agreements and those previously disclosed in Amendment No. 1 and No. 2 to this Schedule, on the Closing Date, Sponsor I LLC and Sponsor I LP transferred 204,225 Founder Shares and 13,031 Founder Shares, respectively, to third parties. The agreements pursuant to which such transfers were made are substantially in the form of the agreements which are filed as Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5 and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

In addition, on March 19, 2018, Sponsor I LLC and Sponsor I LP entered into a commitment agreement with an existing investor in Sponsor I LLC that agreed to withdraw from redemption an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

Sponsor I LLC Distribution

 

On the Closing Date, Sponsor I LLC made a pro rata distribution of an aggregate of 1,852,624 shares of Common Stock and 95,000 warrants to certain of its members.

 

Transfer of General Partners of Sponsor I LP

 

On the Closing Date, Mr. Meghji transferred the stock of M III Acquisition Partners I Corp., the general partner of Sponsor I LP, to an affiliate of its sole limited partner. As a result, Mr. Meghji no longer has beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by Sponsor I LP. Because Sponsor I LP and M III Acquisition Partners I Corp. are no longer members of group owning more than 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock, they will no longer file a Schedule 13D with the remainder of the reporting persons.

 

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

The information set forth in Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety to Item 6 of the Schedule 13D.

 

Founder Shares Amendment Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, the Company, the Sponsors, Messrs. Hood and Marber and the Seller entered into the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement with respect to, among other things, the vesting, transfer and forfeiture of (i) 2,087,499 Founder Shares (the “Earnout Shares”), of which, on the date thereof after giving effect to the transfers and distributions disclosed in this Amendment to Schedule 13D, 1,743,737 shares were held by Sponsor I LLC; 111,262 shares were held by Sponsor I LP; 323,762 shares in aggregate were held by distributees and transferees of Sponsor I LLC and Sponsor I LP, who received such shares subject to the transfer and forfeiture provisions of the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement; and 10,000 shares were held by each of Messrs. Hood and Marber. The Founder Shares Amendment Agreement provides that 50% of the Earnout will vest on the first day upon which the closing sale price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ has equaled or exceeded $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading day period in a 30 consecutive day trading period (“$12 Earnout Shares”) and the other 50% will vest on the first day upon which the closing sale price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ has equaled or exceeded $14.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading day period in a 30 consecutive day trading period (“$14 Earnout Shares”).

 

Prior to vesting, the Earnout Shares may not be transferred other than to certain permitted transferees but such Earnout Shares will continue to be beneficially owned by such persons for all purposes, including voting; provided that any dividends paid on Earnout Shares shall be withheld until such time as such Earnout Shares vest and will be forfeited in the event the Earnout Shares are forfeited. On or prior to the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date, vesting of such Earnout Shares will accelerate upon specified events, including a change of control or liquidation of the Company that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Common Stock for consideration in cash, securities or other property which equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). Earnout Shares that have not vested on or prior to the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date will be forfeited.

 

The foregoing description of the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Founder Shares Amendment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

Investor Rights Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with Sponsor I LLC, on the one hand, and with Seller (and any affiliated transferees of Seller’s Common Stock who become party to the Investor Rights Agreement, together with Seller, the “Selling Stockholders”)) and the Seller’s Representative, in its capacity as the representative of the Selling Stockholders, on the other hand. The Investor Rights Agreement grants certain consent rights to Sponsor I LLC for so long as Sponsor I LLC, Sponsor I LP, Mr. Meghji and certain persons to whom Sponsor I LLC distributed shares on the Closing Date directly or indirectly, beneficially owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock (including $12 Earnout Shares and $14 Earnout Shares, as applicable) beneficially owned by such persons, as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Shares”). Additionally, Sponsor I LLC has the right to nominate two directors to the issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) so long as such persons continue to hold 50% of the Closing Date Shares or one director to the Board so long as such persons continue to hold 25% of the Closing Date Shares. Sponsor I LLC has agreed not to vote its shares to amend the Company’s charter or bylaws in a manner inconsistent with the Investor Rights Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Investor Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.9 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, Seller, the Sponsors, Messrs. Hood and Marber and their respective transferees were granted certain rights pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which also provides for registration rights to certain additional parties upon execution of a counterpart signature page thereto. The Company has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to file and make effective as soon as practicable, a shelf registration statement for the resale of the Common Stock and warrants held by the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain conditions. Certain of the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement have customary demand registration rights at any time the shelf registration statement referred to in the preceding sentence is not effective, and all of the parties have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Business Combination.

 

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.10 and is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

 

WHEREAS, M III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a party to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 3, 2017 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, IEA Energy Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Wind Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Wind Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Oaktree Power Opportunities Fund III Delaware, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as Seller's representative, and, solely for purposes of certain sections therein, the Sponsors;

 

WHEREAS, the Sponsors seek to obtain a commitment from the Investor, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, that (a) Investor will either:

 

(i)purchase the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company set forth beneath its signature to this Agreement, which shares were issued to the public in connection with the Company’s IPO (“Commitment Shares”), from unaffiliated third parties in negotiated or market transactions prior to [____________] (the “Investment Deadline”); or

 

(ii)cause such number of shares of common stock of the Company currently held by the Investor and his affiliates not to be redeemed against the Company’s trust account in connection with the special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the stockholders of the Company to vote on the proposals set forth in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 9, 2018 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”);

 

and (b) such Commitment Shares will not be redeemed against the Company’s trust account in connection with the Special Meeting.

 

WHEREAS, the Investor is willing to provide such commitment upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt of which hereby is acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Redemption Removal. The Investor agrees that it shall (a) satisfy its obligation to either (i) purchase the Commitment Shares from unaffiliated third parties in negotiated or market transactions prior to the Investment Deadline or (ii) retain the Commitment Shares and (b) cause the Commitment Shares not to be redeemed against the Company’s trust account in connection with the Special Meeting.
