(“Holdco”), and Truco Holdings LLC (“Seller”). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Heron will purchase from Seller all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Holdco, and UQF will enter into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement with OTB Acquisition LLC pursuant to which UQF will purchase from OTB Acquisition LLC certain IP assets (together, the “Transactions”).

The Company intends to finance the Transactions by using cash on its balance sheet as well as committed financing from Bank of America, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The acquisition includes all rights to the ON THE BORDER® trademarks for use in the manufacture, sale and distribution of snack food products in the United States and certain other international markets. Under the terms of the transaction agreement, Holdco and its subsidiaries will become wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of UQF.

Termination

The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for Holdco, Seller, UQF and Heron, including, among others, a mutual termination right if the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement are not consummated by March 1, 2021 (the “End Date”), however a party to the Stock Purchase Agreement shall not be entitled to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement if such party’s breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement has resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the End Date.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made herein and/or incorporated by reference herein are not historical facts but are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements contained herein and/or incorporated by reference herein include, without limitation, statements related to the planned acquisition of Holdco and the timing and financing thereof; the expected impact of the planned acquisition, including without limitation, the expected impact on Utz’s overall market position, the projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margins, Truco Adjusted EBITDA and Truco Adjusted EBITDA margin included in the release, the projected Truco fiscal 2020 Net Sales included in the release, the predictions related to earnings included in the release, the projected retail sales included in the release, stated target net leverage and net leverage ranges included in the release and cash flow metrics included in the release; and the expected tax benefits of the acquisition. The actual results of the Transactions may differ from the Company’s 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. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: whether and when the required regulatory approvals will be obtained for this acquisition, whether and when the other closing conditions will be satisfied and whether and when the acquisition will close, whether and when Utz will be able to realize the expected financial results and accretive effect of the acquisition, and how customers, competitors, suppliers and employees will react to the acquisition; the risk that the recently completed Business Combination with Collier Creek Holdings disrupts plans and operations; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of such Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of Utz to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Utz following the consummation of such Business Combination; changes in applicable law or regulations; costs related to the Business Combination; the inability of Utz to maintain the listing of Utz’s Class A Common Stock and public warrants on the New York Stock Exchange; the inability of Utz to develop and maintain effective internal controls; the risk that Utz’s gross profit margins may be adversely impacted by a variety of factors, including variations in raw materials pricing, retail customer requirements and mix, sales velocities and required promotional support; changes in consumers’ loyalty to the Company’s brands due to factors beyond Utz’s control; changes in demand for Utz’s products affected by changes in consumer preferences and tastes or if Utz is unable to innovate or market its products effectively; costs associated with building brand loyalty and interest in Utz’s products, which may be affected by Utz’s competitors’ actions that result in Utz’s products not suitably differentiated from the products of competitors; fluctuations in results of operations of Utz from quarter to quarter because of changes in promotional activities; the possibility that Utz may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in Utz’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2020. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the COVID-19 outbreak and there may be additional risks that Utz considers immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. Utz cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Utz cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-

looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Utz does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as otherwise required by law.

Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain     
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 10, 2020, the Board of Directors of Utz Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) approved the Utz Brands, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), subject to stockholder approval. The ESPP will be effective January 1, 2021, and purchase rights may be granted under the ESPP prior to stockholder approval, but no purchase rights may be exercised unless and until stockholder approval is obtained. If stockholder approval of the ESPP is not obtained within 12 months of the date the Board approved the ESPP, the ESPP and all purchase rights thereunder will terminate.

The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) available for sale under the ESPP shall not exceed in the aggregate 1,500,000 shares, and may be unissued shares or treasury shares or shares bought on the market for purposes of the ESPP.

The ESPP authorizes the grant of purchase rights that are intended to qualify for favorable U.S. federal tax treatment under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board or one or more subcommittees appointed by the Compensation Committee of the Board. As of January 1, 2021, all affiliates of the Company are designated as eligible to participate in the ESPP and the administrator may change these designations from time to time without stockholder approval. The administrator may also adopt sub-plans, rules and procedures relating to the operation and administration of the ESPP to facilitate participation in the ESPP by employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States. To the extent any sub-plan is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, it will be considered part of a non-Section 423 component of the Plan.

The Company’s employees and those of the Company’s designated participating subsidiaries and affiliates with at least thirty (30) days of service as of the first day of a purchase period are generally eligible to participate in the ESPP, though employees whose customary employment is 20 hours per week or less or 5 months per calendar year or less and employees who own 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the Company’s stock or the stock of one of the Company’s subsidiaries are not allowed to participate in the ESPP. In addition, employees in jurisdictions outside of the United States are ineligible to participate in the ESPP if, as of the offering date, the grant of such purchase rights would not be in compliance with the applicable laws of any jurisdiction in which the employee resides or is employed.

Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees may generally elect to contribute and apply to the purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock between 1% and 15% of their eligible compensation during a purchase period. Participants may not accrue the right to purchase stock under the ESPP (or any other tax-qualified stock purchase plan) with a fair market value exceeding $25,000 in any calendar year. Participation in the ESPP is voluntary.

Under the ESPP, employees are offered the option to purchase discounted shares of Class A Common Stock during offering periods designated by the administrator. Each offering period will be one year, consisting of two six-month purchase periods, commencing on each January 1 and July 1 following the effective date of the ESPP. The initial offering under the ESPP will commence on January 1, 2021 and end on December 31, 2021. Shares are purchased on the applicable exercise date(s), which is the last trading day of each purchase period with initial purchase dates of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021. The purchase price for 2021 will be the lesser of (x) 90% of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the first day of the applicable purchase period and (y) 90% of the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the exercise date.

The ESPP also contains provisions with respect to share proration under certain circumstances, adjustments and treatment of awards upon certain corporate transactions, including stock splits, recapitalizations and mergers, transferability of awards and tax withholding requirements.

LEGAL\50436416\2


The Compensation Committee has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time and from time to time to the extent that it deems advisable, subject to any stockholder approval required by applicable law or the stock exchange on which shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock are traded.

The foregoing description of the ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP, which will be filed by the Company as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending January 3, 2021.

Item 7.01.     Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 10, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly dividend of approximately $0.06 per share on the Company’s Class A Common Stock payable on January 11, 2021 to stockholders of record as of December 21, 2020. The cash dividend will be funded by cash distribution made by Utz Brands Holdings, LLC (“Utz Brands Holdings”) to the Company and the other holders of Utz Brands Holdings’ common units on a pro-rata basis.

The cash dividend includes a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share and an additional cash dividend in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.8 million, which his approximately $0.01 per share.

Introductory Note
 
As previously disclosed, on November 11, 2020, Utz Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Utz”) caused its subsidiaries Utz Quality Foods, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“UQF”) and Heron Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Heron”) to enter into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and between UQF, Heron, Truco Holdco Inc. (“Holdco”), and Truco Holdings LLC (“Seller”).
 
On December 14, 2020, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Utz caused its subsidiaries to complete the acquisition (the “Acquisition’) pursuant to which Heron purchased from Seller all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Holdco. In addition, UQF purchased from OTB Acquisition, LLC (“IP Seller”) certain IP assets under an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 11, 2020, among UQF, Seller and IP Seller (together with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”). At the closing of the Transactions, UQF and Heron paid the aggregate cash purchase price of $480 million to the Seller and IP Seller, subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments.
 
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 14, 2020, in order to fund the Transactions, UQF, in its capacity as the borrower, and Utz Brands Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct subsidiary of the Company (“UBH”), in its capacity as the parent of UQF entered into a Bridge Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Administrative Agent”), in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and BofA Securities, Inc. (or any of its designated affiliates, “BofA Securities”, and together with BANA, “Bank of America”), Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS”) and Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC (“CS”, and together with BofA Securities and GS, the “Lead Arrangers”), in their capacities as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners pursuant to which the Lead Arrangers structured, arranged and syndicated a $490 million senior secured bridge credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”). The Transactions were consummated substantially concurrently with the initial borrowing under the Bridge Facility, in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
 
Bridge loans under the Credit Agreement may bear interest at the Base Rate (as defined below) (the “Base Rate Loans”) or Eurocurrency Rate (as defined below) (the “Eucocurrency Rate Loans”). The interest rate per annum applicable to the outstanding principal amount of each Base Rate Loan will be equal to: (i) an percentage per annum equal to the greatest of: (a) the federal funds rate, generally as determined based on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System, in effect on such date plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” (c) the rate per annum equal to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), at or about 11:00 a.m., London time determined two Business Days prior to such date for U.S. Dollar deposits with a term of one month commencing that day plus 1.00% and (d) 0.00% per annum, plus (ii) a percentage per annum equal to, (x) from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement through January 29, 2021, 3.25%, (y) from January 30, 2021 through February 28, 2021, 4.25% and (z) thereafter, 5.00%. The interest rate per annum applicable to the outstanding principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan will be equal to (i) an percentage per annum equal to, for any interest period, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars, the rate per annum equal to LIBOR or a comparable or successor rate which rate is approved by the Administrative Agent, as published on the applicable Bloomberg screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the relevant quotation date, which occurs two business days prior to the first day of such interest period, for deposits in the relevant currency (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term equivalent to such interest period, plus (ii) a percentage per annum equal to, (x) from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement through January 29, 2021, 4.25%, (y) from January 30, 2021 through February 28, 2021, 5.25% and (z) thereafter, 6.00%. In the event of a failure by the parties to the Credit Agreement to issue high-yield debt securities upon the demand of the holders of the majority of the commitments under the Credit Agreement on or after January 29, 2021 (subject to the terms of the Fee Letter, as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Base Rate Loan and Eurocurrency Rate Loan will bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 6.25%.



 
Any Based Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans that have not been repaid in full on or prior to December 14, 2021 will automatically be converted into term loans (the “Extended Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount of such loans. The interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount of each Extended Term Loan beginning on December 14, 2021 will be at a fixed rate per annum equal to 6.25%.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements made herein and/or incorporated by reference herein are not historical facts but are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements contained herein and/or incorporated by reference herein include, without limitation, statements related to the acquisition of Holdco; the expected impact of the planned acquisition, including without limitation, the expected financial impact on Utz of the acquisition of Holdco, the expected tax benefits of the acquisition and other forward-looking statements related to the acquisition of Holdco. The actual results of Utz as a result of the Transactions may differ from the Company’s 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. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: whether and when Utz will be able to realize the expected financial results and accretive effect of the acquisition, and how customers, competitors, suppliers and employees will react to the acquisition; the risk that the recently completed Business Combination with Collier Creek Holdings disrupts plans and operations; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of such Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of Utz to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Utz following the consummation of such Business Combination; changes in applicable law or regulations; costs related to the Business Combination; the inability of Utz to maintain the listing of Utz’s Class A Common Stock and public warrants on the New York Stock Exchange; the inability of Utz to develop and maintain effective internal controls; the risk that Utz’s gross profit margins may be adversely impacted by a variety of factors, including variations in raw materials pricing, retail customer requirements and mix, sales velocities and required promotional support; changes in consumers’ loyalty to the Company’s brands due to factors beyond Utz’s control; changes in demand for Utz’s products affected by changes in consumer preferences and tastes or if Utz is unable to innovate or market its products effectively; costs associated with building brand loyalty and interest in Utz’s products, which may be affected by Utz’s competitors’ actions that result in Utz’s products not suitably differentiated from the products of competitors; fluctuations in results of operations of Utz from quarter to quarter because of changes in promotional activities; the possibility that Utz may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in Utz’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 5, 2020. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the COVID-19 outbreak and there may be additional risks that Utz considers immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. Utz cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Utz cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any



forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Utz does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as otherwise required by law.
 
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
 
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
 
On May 20, 2020, the Commission adopted Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses (the “New Rules”). The New Rules amend, among other things, the Commission’s “significance” tests under which a registrant determines whether a business disposition or acquisition is “significant,” thereby requiring the filing of related Rule 3-05 financial information and pro forma financial information. The New Rules are effective January 1, 2021, but the New Rules permit voluntary early compliance provided that a registrant applies the New Rules in their entirety from the date of early compliance. Utz intends to rely on the New Rules and adopted the New Rules effective as of, and has applied the New Rules in their entirety, as reasonably applied prior to the effective date of the New Rules,] from and since, December 14, 2020. Utz will analyze the Transactions under the “significance” tests under the New Rules and, accordingly, file the applicable pro forma financial information as is required to be filed pursuant to Item 9.01(b).
 
(d) Exhibits
 
* Certain schedules and exhibits to this agreement have been omitted in accordance with Item 601(b)(2) of Regulation S-K. A copy of any omitted schedule and/or exhibit will be furnished to the Commission upon request.
