Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed on a Form 8-K filed by Trinity Merger Corp. (“Trinity”) on August 12, 2019, on August 9, 2019, Trinity Sub Inc. (“Broadmark Realty”), a subsidiary of Trinity, a special purpose acquisition company, entered into subscription agreements with entities affiliated with Farallon Capital Management LLC (the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to such subscription agreements, among other things, the PIPE Investors will purchase shares of Broadmark Realty common stock from Broadmark Realty and, in connection with such purchase, receive a number of warrants from Broadmark Realty (the “PIPE Warrants”) equal to the number of subscribed for shares of Broadmark Realty common stock. Each PIPE Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Broadmark Realty common stock at the same exercise price as provided in, and otherwise on substantially the same terms as, the warrants that will be held by public warrant holders of Broadmark Realty (such warrants, the “Public Warrants”) upon closing of that certain definitive merger agreement, entered into on August 9, 2019, for a business combination transaction to create an internally managed, mortgage real estate investment trust (the “Business Combination”) with the Broadmark real estate lending companies and management companies, specialty commercial real estate finance companies providing construciton, land and development financing for commercial and residential properties.

As a closing condition to the Business Combination, holders of at least 65% of the Public Warrants must approve and consent to the amendment of the underlying warrant agreement to remove certain anti-dilution provisions contained therein relating to the payment of cash dividends.  In furtherance of such closing condition, Trinity has proposed to amend the underlying warrant agreement pursuant to the above requirements, as well as amend the underlying warrant agreement to (i) modify each Public Warrant to be exercisable for one-quarter of one share at an exercise price of $2.875 per one-quarter share ($11.50 per whole share) and (ii) entitle each Public Warrant holder (in exchange for the amendment to the cash dividend anti-dilution provision and the reduction in the number of shares for which such Public Warrants are exercisable) to a cash payment of $1.60 per Public Warrant (such amendments, the “Underlying Warrant Amendments”).

On September 19, 2019, Broadmark Realty entered into an amendment with each of the PIPE Investors to amend their respective Subscription Agreements to clarify and conform the Subscription Agreements to reflect the Underlying Warrant Amendments, the form of which amendment to the Subscription Agreements is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (the “PIPE Amendments”).  As a result of the PIPE Amendments, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the PIPE Investors will be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Broadmark Realty common stock being purchased by them and the PIPE Warrants, a cash payment of $1.60 for each PIPE Warrant issued by Broadmark Realty pursuant to their respective Subscription Agreement, in addition to providing for a modification to the exercise mechanics and anti-dilution provisions of the PIPE Warrants, consistent with the Underlying Warrant Amendments.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosure set forth above under the heading “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.  The shares of Broadmark Realty common stock and warrants to be issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements (as may be amended from time to time) and the transactions contemplated thereby will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Additional Information

In connection with the proposed transaction, Trinity Sub Inc. has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, which includes a preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus of Trinity Merger Corp.(“Trinity”).  The Registration Statement on Form S-4 remains subject to further amendment and completion.  Following the time the Registration Statement on Form S-4 is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the setting of a record date established for voting on the proposed transaction, Trinity will mail a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its stockholders and warrant holders.  Investors and security holders of Trinity are advised to read the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus, and amendments thereto, and the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus in connection with Trinity’s solicitation of proxies for its special meetings of stockholders and warrant holders to be held in connection with the proposed business combination transaction because the joint proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed business combination transaction and the parties to the proposed transaction.  Stockholders and warrant holders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus, without charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Trinity Merger Corp., 55 Merchant Street, Suite 1500, Honolulu, HI 96813.

Participants in the Solicitation

Trinity, Trinity Sub Inc. and Broadmark and their respective directors, executive officers, other members of management, employees and others acting on their behalf, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Trinity’s stockholders and warrant holders and Broadmark’s members in connection with the proposed transaction.  Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the proposed transaction of Trinity’s directors and officers in Trinity’s filings with the SEC, including Trinity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019, and the names and interests in the proposed transaction of Broadmark’s directors and managers, disclosed in the joint proxy statement statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination.

Warrant Certificate

This Warrant Certificate certifies that                    , or registered assigns, is the registered holder of warrant(s) evidenced hereby (the “Warrants” and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Trinity Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive from the Company that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) as determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, payable in lawful money (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent referred to below, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

Each Public Warrant is initially exercisable for one-quarter of one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock. TheExercise Price per share of Common Stock for any Public Warrant is equal to $2.875 per one-quarter share ($11.50 per whole share); provided however, that a Public Warrant may not be exercised for a fractional share, so that only a multiple of four Public Warrants may be exercised at a given time.

Each Private Warrant is exercisable for one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock.  The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for any Private Warrant is equal to $11.50 per share.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant.  If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

The initial Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per share. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the Exercise Period and to the extent not exercised by the end of such Exercise Period, such Warrants shall become void.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement.
