Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 11, 2019, Capitol Investment Corp. IV. (“Capitol”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 7, 2019 (“Merger Agreement”), by and among Capitol and its subsidiaries, NESCO Holdings, LP (“Nesco Owner”), and NESCO Holdings I, Inc. (“Nesco”). As previously disclosed, under the Merger Agreement, (i) Capitol will domesticate as a Delaware corporation and will be renamed “Nesco Holdings, Inc.”, (ii) a subsidiary of Capitol will merge with and into Nesco, with Nesco surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol and (iii) immediately after the Initial Merger, Nesco will merge with and into a limited liability company subsidiary of Capitol (“New HoldCo”), with New HoldCo surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol. As a result of the transactions, Nesco will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol, with Nesco Owner becoming a securityholder of Capitol.

 

Under the Amendment, the initial enterprise value of the combined company after the business combination was reduced by $50 million, to approximately $1,037 million (assuming no redemptions). As a result, the consideration to be issued to Nesco Owner was reduced and Capitol Acquisition Management IV LLC and its affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor”) agreed to cancel an additional number of their shares, as follows:

 

Nesco Owner will no longer receive cash consideration in an amount of $75 million, and instead will receive common stock consideration at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of common stock, regardless of redemptions;

 

excluding the 7,500,000 additional shares referred to above, the aggregate common stock consideration to Nesco Owner was reduced by 3,303,597 shares as Nesco Owner’s contribution to the $50 million enterprise value reduction;

 

earnout consideration to Nesco Owner was increased by 1,651,798 shares, which additional shares may be earned by Nesco Owner if, from the consummation of the business combination until the seventh anniversary thereof, the trading price of the combined company’s common stock exceeds $19.00 per share for any period of 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading day period or if a sale transaction of the combined company occurs in which the consideration paid per share to holders of common stock exceeds $19.00 per share;

 

an additional (i) 348,201 shares of common stock owned by the Sponsor will be cancelled and (ii) 348,202 shares of common stock owned by the Sponsor will be subject to lock-up and potential forfeiture for the seven-year period following the consummation of the business combination, which risk of forfeiture will lapse if the trading price of the combined company’s common stock exceeds $19.00 per share for any period of 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading day period or if a sale transaction of the combined company occurs in which the consideration paid per share to holders of common stock exceeds $19.00 per share; and

 

concurrently with the closing of the merger, Nesco Owner or one or more of its affiliates will purchase 2,500,000 newly-issued shares of Capitol common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (for gross proceeds to Capitol of $25 million), payable in cash.

 

Capitol and Nesco expect to enter into certain amendments to their agreements with their underwriters and financial advisors, reducing fees to such parties payable upon closing of the Transactions by approximately $10 million. Under the Amendment, up to $10 million of such fee reduction will be included as cash available to Capitol for purposes of satisfying the condition to closing that Capitol have at least $265 million of cash available after giving effect to payment of amounts that Capitol may be required to pay to any redeeming shareholders upon consummation of the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Furthermore, the Amendment contained a revised form of the Stockholders’ Agreement that provides that:

 

Nesco Owner (and its successors and assigns) will have the right to designate up to four persons to be appointed or nominated for election to the board of directors of Capitol if it and its affiliates own at least 45% of the common stock of the combined company, subject to reduction based on the aggregate ownership of Nesco Owner and its successors and assigns;

 

the board will consist of between seven and nine members depending on Nesco Owner’s pro forma ownership of the combined company;

 

the Sponsor agrees to transfer restrictions and potential forfeiture of an aggregate of 3,148,202 shares of Capitol common stock (including the 348,202 additional shares as set forth in the Amendment) if the combined company does not meet earnout targets which are identical to the earnout targets set forth in the Merger Agreement, as amended, for the earnout shares to be issued to Nesco Owner in the business combination; and

 

Nesco Owner agrees to the potential forfeiture of an aggregate of 3,451,798 earnout shares (including the additional 1,651,798 earnout shares as set forth in the Amendment) if the earnout targets are not met.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
