Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

As previously disclosed, on November 7, 2022, IAA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IAA” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as amended or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Merger Agreement”) with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated, a company organized under the federal laws of Canada (“RBA”), Ritchie Bros. Holdings Inc., a Washington corporation and a direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA (“US Holdings”), Impala Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 1”), and Impala Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 2”), providing for RBA’s acquisition of IAA. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into IAA (the “First Merger”), with IAA surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings.

On January 22, 2023, RBA, IAA and the other parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Amendment” and the Original Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, each share of IAA common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“IAA Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”) (excluding any shares of IAA Common Stock held by IAA as treasury stock, owned by RBA, US Holdings, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 immediately prior to the Effective Time, or owned by stockholders of IAA who have validly demanded and not withdrawn appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) will be converted automatically into the right to receive: (i) 0.5252 of a common share, without par value, of RBA (“RBA Common Shares”) and (ii) $12.80 in cash, without interest (together, the “Merger Consideration”), instead of (A) 0.5804 of an RBA Common Share and (B) $10.00 in cash, without interest, as provided in the Original Merger Agreement. In addition, the Amendment provides that, in the event that either RBA or IAA elects to terminate the Merger Agreement as a result of RBA’s failure to obtain approval by its shareholders of the issuance of RBA Common Shares in connection with the Mergers, RBA would be required to reimburse IAA for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by IAA in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Mergers up to a maximum amount of $5.0 million. The Amendment also permits RBA to pay a one-time, special cash dividend to the shareholders of RBA not to exceed $1.08 per share, with a record date prior to the Effective Time to be determined by RBA’s Board of Directors and payment conditioned upon the closing of the First Merger.

All other material terms of the Merger Agreement remain substantially the same.

Cooperation Agreement

On January 22, 2023, IAA entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Ancora Alternatives LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively the “Ancora Investors”) regarding RBA’s acquisition of IAA, the membership and composition of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) in certain circumstances and related matters.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, subject to the completion of director information and interviews, the Company has agreed to take all actions necessary pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement to designate Timothy O’Day (the “First Ancora Director Candidate”) as a Company Designee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for all purposes under the Merger Agreement such that the First Ancora Director Candidate will be appointed to the board of directors of RBA immediately following the effective time of the First Merger.

Ancora, which holds approximately 4% of the outstanding IAA Common Stock, irrevocably committed to appear at the special meeting of IAA stockholders to consider the RBA acquisition and to vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, subject to certain limited exceptions, in favor of all proposals submitted to the IAA stockholders at such meeting.

In the event that either the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Shareholder Approval (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) is not obtained or IAA files definitive proxy materials for its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) (the first to occur of such events, a “Transaction Vote Down”), (i) within five business days of the Transaction Vote Down, one of the Company’s current directors (other than the Company’s CEO) will tender his or her resignation from the Board and the Company will, after completion of director information and interviews, appoint the First Ancora Director Candidate as an observer to the Board, (ii) the Company will appoint a second director candidate identified by the Ancora Investors and selected pursuant to the procedures described in the Agreement as an observer to the Board (the “Second Ancora Director Candidate”), and (iii) the Company will appoint a third director candidate to be mutually agreed between the Company and the Ancora Investors pursuant to the procedures described in the Agreement as an observer to the Board (the “Mutual Director Candidate” and, together with the First Ancora Director Candidate and the Second Ancora Director Candidate, the “New Director Candidates”). IAA also agreed not to, prior the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of IAA, increase the size of the Board to more than 11 directors without the prior written agreement of the Ancora Investors.

In the event of a Transaction Vote Down, the Board will include the New Director Candidates in its proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting, which will provide that the Company will increase the size of the Board to eleven directors and appoint the New Director Candidates to the Board immediately following the 2023 Annual Meeting. Upon their respective appointments to the Board, the Board will appoint the First Ancora Director Candidate and the Second Ancora Director Candidate to the Operations Committee of the Board.

During the Standstill Period, the Ancora Investors will have certain replacement rights with respect to the New Director Candidates so long as the Ancora Investors continue to beneficially own at least 2.0% of IAA’s then outstanding common stock. Any replacement candidate in respect of the First Ancora Director Candidate is subject to the prior written consent of RBA.

During the Standstill Period (as defined below), the Cooperation Agreement provides that the Ancora Investors will be subject to (i) certain additional voting commitments in respect of matters subject to the vote of IAA stockholders during the Standstill Period, including a commitment to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to director elections and, subject to certain limited exceptions, all other proposals put forth to the IAA stockholders and (ii) customary standstill obligations . The Cooperation Agreement also includes customary mutual non-disparagement provisions during the Standstill Period. IAA has agreed to customary expense reimbursement provisions in favor of the Ancora Investors.

Under the Cooperation Agreement, the “Standstill Period” begins on the date of the agreement and ends on the later of (x) the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (y) the conclusion of the 2023 Annual Meeting. The Cooperation Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of the last day of the Standstill Period, unless earlier terminated by mutual written agreement of the Company and the Ancora Investors.

Additional Information

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the Cooperation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, the full text of the Original Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to IAA’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 7, 2022, and the full text of the Cooperation Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Amendment and the Cooperation Agreement have been included to provide investors with information regarding their terms and are not intended to provide any factual information about RBA or IAA.

Each of the Merger Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, which were made only for purposes of each agreement and as of specified dates. The representations and warranties in each of the Merger Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement reflect negotiations between the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement, as applicable, and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by IAA’s stockholders. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in each of the Merger Agreement and Cooperation Agreement may be subject to limitations agreed by the parties, including having been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of each of the Merger Agreement and Cooperation Agreement, as applicable, and having been made for purposes of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. In addition, the parties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by investors. As such, the representations and warranties in each of the Merger Agreement and Cooperation Agreement may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and you should not rely on them as statements of fact. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of each of the Merger Agreement and Cooperation Agreement, and unless required by applicable law, IAA undertakes no obligation to update such information.

On January 23, 2023, RBA and IAA issued a joint news release announcing the Amendment to the Merger Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement. Such press release also provided certain preliminary unaudited financial expectations for IAA’s fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

The press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains information relating to a proposed business combination transaction between RBA and IAA. This report includes forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to future events and anticipated results of operations, business strategies, the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, the anticipated impact of the proposed transaction on the combined company’s business and future financial and operating results, the expected or estimated amount, achievability, sources, impact and timing of cost synergies and revenue, growth, operational enhancement, expansion and other value creation opportunities from the proposed transaction, the expected debt, de-leveraging and capital allocation of the combined company, the anticipated closing date for the proposed transaction, other aspects of RBA’s or IAA’s respective businesses, operations, financial condition or operating results and other statements that are not historical facts.

Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. While RBA’s and IAA’s management believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, these forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the parties’ control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the possibility that shareholders of RBA may not approve the issuance of new RBA Common Shares in the transaction or that stockholders of IAA may not approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement; the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied (or waived), that either party may terminate the Merger Agreement or that the closing of the proposed transaction might be delayed or not occur at all; the anticipated tax treatment of the proposed transaction; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the response of competitors to the proposed transaction; the ultimate difficulty, timing, cost and results of integrating the operations of RBA and IAA; the effects of the business combination of RBA and IAA, including the combined company’s future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; the failure (or delay) to receive the required regulatory approval of the transaction; the fact that operating costs and business disruption may be greater than expected following the public announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction; the effect of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the proposed transaction on the trading price of RBA Common Shares or IAA Common Stock; the ability of RBA and/or IAA to retain and hire key personnel and employees; the significant costs associated with the proposed transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that could be instituted against RBA, IAA and/or others relating to the proposed transaction; restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact the ability of RBA and/or IAA to pursue non-ordinary course transactions, including certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the ability of the combined company to realize anticipated synergies in the amount, manner or timeframe expected or at all; the failure of the combined company to realize potential revenue, growth, operational enhancement, expansion or other value creation opportunities from the sources or in the amount, manner or timeframe expected or at all; the failure of the trading multiple of the combined company to normalize or re-rate and other fluctuations in such trading multiple; changes in capital markets and the ability of the combined company to finance operations in the manner expected or to de-lever in the timeframe expected; the failure of RBA or the combined company to meet financial and/or key performance indicator targets; any legal impediment to the payment of the special dividend by RBA, including the consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange to the dividend record date; legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the business of RBA and IAA; general economic and market developments and conditions; the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which RBA and IAA operate; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, pandemics, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as RBA’s or IAA’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks related to the proposed transaction, are included in the registration statement on Form S-4 and joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC and applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the registration statement on Form S-4 are, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof.

“Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE III, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (excluding any Excluded Shares and any Appraisal Shares) (the “Eligible Shares”) shall be converted automatically into the right to receive: (A) 0.5252 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Parent Common Shares (the “Share Consideration”) and (B) $12.80 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration,” and together with the Share Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

2.             Representations and Warranties.

(a) Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent, US Holdings, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 as follows:

(i) Authority Relative to this Amendment. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement (as amended or modified by this Amendment). The execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, subject, only with respect to the consummation of the Mergers, to the Company Stockholder Approval and the filing of the Certificates of Merger with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming the due and valid execution of this Amendment by Parent, US Holdings, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to Creditors’ Rights. The Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held, has by unanimous vote (A) determined that the Merger Agreement (as amended or modified by this Amendment) and the Transactions, including the Mergers, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the holders of Company Common Stock, (B) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement (as amended or modified by this Amendment) and the Transactions, including the Mergers, (C) directed that the Merger Agreement (as amended or modified by this Amendment) be submitted to the holders of Company Common Stock for its adoption, and (D) resolved to recommend that the holders of Company Common Stock adopt the Merger Agreement (as amended or modified by this Amendment) at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(ii) Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Company Board has received the opinion of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC addressed to the Company Board to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other factors set forth therein, the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as amended or modified by this Amendment) is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. A signed copy of such opinion shall be delivered to Parent promptly after receipt thereof by the Company for information purposes only.

(b) Parent, US Holdings, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2. Parent, US Holdings, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 each hereby represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

COOPERATION AGREEMENT

This Cooperation Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of January 22, 2023, is made by and among IAA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the persons and entities listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Ancora Investors”). The Company and each of the Ancora Investors are collectively herein referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

WHEREAS, on November 7, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as amended, restated and modified as of the date hereof, the “Merger Agreement”) with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated, a company organized under the federal laws of Canada (“RBA”), Ritchie Bros. Holdings Inc., a Washington corporation and a direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA (“US Holdings”), Impala Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 1”), and Impala Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 2”), providing for RBA’s acquisition of the Company in a stock and cash transaction (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings;

WHEREAS, the Company and representatives of the Ancora Investors have engaged in discussions regarding various matters concerning the Company, including the Transaction and matters concerning the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”);

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Ancora Investors Beneficially Own (as defined below) common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as set forth on Schedule A hereto; and

WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that it is in their respective best interests to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Board Matters.

a. Subject to completion of the director information and interviews provided for in Section 4(a), the Company shall take all actions necessary pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement to designate Timothy O’Day (the “First Ancora Director Candidate”) as a Company Designee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for all purposes under the Merger Agreement, including Section 2.7 thereof, such that the First New Director will be appointed to the board of directors of RBA (the “RBA Board”) immediately following the effective time of the First Merger.

2

b. In the event that either (a) the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Shareholder Approval (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) is not obtained at (x) a Company stockholder meeting at which the proposal with respect to adoption of the Merger Agreement was submitted to a vote (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) or (y) a RBA shareholder meeting at which the issuance of RBA shares in connection with the Mergers was submitted to a vote or (b) the Company files its definitive proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting (the first to occur of such events, a “Transaction Vote Down”), (i) within five (5) business days of the Transaction Vote Down, one of the Company’s current directors (other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) shall tender his or her resignation from the Board and the Company shall, after completion of the director information and interviews provided for in Section 4(b), appoint the First Ancora Director Candidate as an observer to the Board, (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable the Company shall appoint a second director candidate to be selected pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1(c) as an observer to the Board (the “Second Ancora Director Candidate”, and, together with the First Ancora Director Candidate, the “Ancora Director Candidates”), and (iii) as soon as reasonably practicable the Company shall appoint a third director candidate to be mutually agreed between the Company and the Ancora Investors pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1(d) as an observer to the Board (the “Mutual Director Candidate” and, together with the First Ancora Director Candidate and the Second Ancora Director Candidate, the “New Director Candidates”). Prior the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall not increase the size of the Board to more than eleven (11) directors without the prior written agreement of the Ancora Investors.

c. In the event of a Transaction Vote Down, the Ancora Investors shall identify two (2) potential candidates who shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and who shall possess business, asset management, marketing, technology, accounting, finance and/or other relevant experiences or expertise to be a director to serve as the Second Ancora Director Candidate (the “Proposed Ancora Director Candidates”); provided that such Proposed Ancora Director Candidates shall not be any of the Ancora Investors or any Affiliate, Associate or employee of any of the Ancora Investors. The Company shall select one of the Proposed Ancora Director Candidates to complete the director information and interviews provided for in Section 4(b), and after completion of such director information and interviews, such Proposed Ancora Director Candidate shall be promptly appointed as an observer to the Board, subject to the good faith review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCG Committee”) of the Board and the Board.

3

d. In the event of a Transaction Vote Down, the Company and the Ancora Investors shall cooperate to identify and mutually agree upon a candidate who shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and who shall possess business, asset management, marketing, technology, accounting, finance and/or other relevant experiences or expertise to be a director to serve as the Mutual Director Candidate; provided that such candidate shall not be any of the Ancora Investors or any Affiliate, Associate or employee of any of the Ancora Investors. After completion of the director information and interviews provided for in Section 4(b), then such individual shall be promptly appointed as an observer to the Board, subject to the good faith review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) by the NCG Committee and the Board.

e. In the event of a Transaction Vote Down, the Company agrees that during the period commencing on the date each New Director Candidate is appointed as an observer to the Board until the appointment of such New Director Candidate to the Board, such New Director Candidate will receive, on a confidential and restricted basis, copies of all documents distributed to the Board, including, without limitation, notice of all meetings of the Board, all written consents executed by the Board, all materials prepared for consideration at any meeting of the Board, and all minutes related to each meeting of the Board occurring on or after the date of such appointment as an observer contemporaneous with their distribution to the Board. The Company will be entitled to withhold any information and exclude such New Director Candidate from any Board or Board committee meeting, or any portion thereof, as is reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary to protect the Company’s attorney-client privilege. Such New Director Candidate will have the right to attend and participate, but not vote, at all meetings of the Board during this period (whether such meetings are held in person, telephonically or otherwise). As a condition to each New Director Candidate (or any Replacement New Director (as defined below) thereof, as applicable) serving as an observer to the Board, such New Director (or any Replacement New Director thereof, as applicable) will have delivered an undertaking to the Company as set forth on Exhibit A (the “Observer Undertaking”).

f. In the event of a Transaction Vote Down, the Company will include the New Director Candidates (or any Replacement New Director thereof, as applicable) in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting, which shall provide that the Company shall increase the size of the Board to eleven (11) directors and appoint the New Director Candidates (the “New Directors”) to the Board immediately following the 2023 Annual Meeting.

4

g. If, during the Standstill Period, (i) the First Ancora Director Candidate is rendered unable (due to death or disability or any other reason) to, or refuses to, serve as a Company Designee for any reason, or (ii) the First Ancora Director Candidate or the Second Ancora Director Candidate appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement resigns from the Board or as an observer thereto prior to such appointment or is rendered unable (due to death or disability or any other reason) to, or refuses to, serve as an observer to the Board or a director on the Board for any reason, then, so long as the Ancora Investors Beneficially Own in the aggregate at least 2.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock, the Ancora Investors shall designate two (2) potential replacements who shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and who shall possess business, asset management, marketing, technology, accounting, finance and/or other relevant experiences or expertise to be a director to fill the resulting vacancy (the “Proposed Replacements”); provided that such Proposed Replacement shall not be any of the Ancora Investors, any Affiliate, Associate or employee of any of the Ancora Investors or any individual previously disqualified in connection with the selection of the Second Ancora Director Candidate or any previous Proposed Replacement. The Company shall select one (1) of the Proposed Replacements to complete the director information and interviews provided for in Section 4(a) or 4(b), as applicable, and after completion of such director information and interviews, such Proposed Replacement shall be promptly appointed as a Company Designee or as an observer to the Board or a director on the Board, as applicable, subject to the good faith review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) by the NCG Committee and the Board (any such replacement director, a “Replacement Ancora Director”); provided, that, to the extent that a Replacement Ancora Director is selected to replace the First Ancora Director Candidate prior to the effective time of the First Merger, the designation of such Replacement Ancora Director as a Company Designee shall be subject to the prior written consent of RBA in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Upon a Replacement Ancora Director’s appointment to the Board, such Replacement Ancora Director shall be deemed to be a First Ancora Director Candidate or a Second Ancora Director Candidate, as applicable, and a New Director Candidate for all purposes under this Agreement.

h. If, during the Standstill Period, the Mutual Director Candidate appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement resigns from the Board or as an observer thereto prior to such appointment or is rendered unable (due to death or disability) to, or refuses to, serve as an observer to the Board or a director on the Board for any reason, then, so long as the Ancora Investors Beneficially Own in the aggregate at least at least 2.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock, the Company and the Ancora Investors shall cooperate to identify and mutually agree upon a candidate who shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and who shall possess business, asset management, marketing, technology, accounting, finance and/or other relevant experiences or expertise to be a director (a “Replacement Mutual Director” and, together with any Replacement Ancora Director, a “Replacement New Director”). After completion of the director information and interviews provided for in Section 4(b), then such Replacement Mutual Director shall be promptly appointed as an observer to the Board or a director on the Board, as applicable, subject to the good faith review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) by the NCG Committee and the Board. Upon a Replacement Mutual Director’s appointment to the Board, such Replacement Mutual Director shall be deemed to be a Mutual Director Candidate and a New Director Candidate for all purposes under this Agreement.

5

i. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the time that the First Ancora Director Candidate is appointed to the RBA Board pursuant to Section 1(a), the rights granted to the Ancora Investors pursuant to this Section 1, including the right to designate any Replacement New Director, shall cease, terminate and have no further force and effect.

j. In the event of a Transaction Vote Down, the Company agrees that during the period commencing on the date the New Director Candidates are appointed as observers to the Board until the appointment of the New Director Candidates to the Board, the Company shall appoint the Ancora Director Candidates as observers to the Operations Committee of the Board (the “Operations Committee”). The Ancora Director Candidates will receive, on a confidential and restricted basis, copies of all documents distributed to the Operations Committee, including, without limitation, notice of all meetings of the Operations Committee, all written consents executed by the Operations Committee, all materials prepared for consideration at any meeting of the Operations Committee, and all minutes related to each meeting of the Operations Committee occurring on or after the date of such appointment as an observer contemporaneous with their distribution to the Operations Committee. The Company will be entitled to withhold any information and exclude the Ancora Director Candidates from any Operations Committee meeting, or any portion thereof, as is reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary to protect the Company’s attorney-client privilege. The Ancora Director Candidates will have the right to attend and participate, but not vote, at all meetings of the Operations Committee during this period (whether such meetings are held in person, telephonically or otherwise). The Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take such actions as are necessary to, effective as of the appointment of the Ancora Director Candidates to the Board, add the Ancora Director Candidates to the Operations Committee.

k. While any New Director Candidate (or any Replacement New Director, as applicable) serves as a director of the Board, such New Director Candidate shall receive compensation (including equity-based compensation, if any) for the Board and committee meetings attended, an annual retainer and benefits (including expense reimbursements) on the same basis as all other non-employee directors of the Company.

l. The New Director Candidates (and any Replacement New Director, as applicable) will be governed by the same protections and obligations regarding confidentiality, conflicts of interest, related party transactions, fiduciary duties, codes of conduct, trading and disclosure policies, director resignation policy, and other governance guidelines and policies of the Company as other directors, as amended from time to time (collectively, “Company Policies”), and shall have the same rights and benefits, including with respect to insurance, indemnification, compensation and fees, as are applicable to all independent directors of the Company. The Company shall make available to the New Director Candidates copies of all Company Policies not publicly available on the Company’s website. At all times while any New Director Candidate (or any Replacement New Director, as applicable) is serving as a member of the Board, (i) such New Director Candidate shall not disclose to any Ancora Investor or any “Affiliate” or “Associate” (for purposes of this Agreement, as each is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of each such Ancora Investor (collectively and individually, the “Ancora Investor Affiliates”) or any other person or entity not affiliated with the Company any confidential information of the Company, and (ii) the Ancora Investors shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, seek to obtain confidential information of the Company from any New Director Candidate (or any Replacement New Director). Furthermore, the Ancora Investors agree that no New Director Candidate (nor any Replacement New Director) may share any information with the Ancora Investors in respect of the Company which they learn in their capacity as a director of the Company, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or any Board committee, at any time, for any reason, without the Company’s prior written consent.

6

m. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the rights and privileges set forth in this Agreement shall be personal to the Ancora Investors and may not be transferred or assigned to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of any kind or nature (each, a “Person”), except that the Ancora Investors shall be permitted to transfer or assign this Agreement to their respective Affiliates, provided that any such transfer or assignment shall not relieve any transferring Ancora Investor party of its obligations under this Agreement.

n. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Beneficially Own” or variations thereof shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

2. Standstill and Voting.

xi. encourage, facilitate, support, participate in or enter into any negotiations, agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to, the taking of any actions by any other Person in connection with the foregoing that is prohibited to be taken by the Ancora Investors (except as set forth in Section 1); or

The foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a) shall not be deemed to prevent any member of the Ancora Investors from (i) communicating privately with the Board or any of the Company’s executive officers regarding any matter, so long as such communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require the Company or any Ancora Investor to make public disclosure with respect thereto, (ii) communicating privately with stockholders of the Company and which communications are not made with an intent to otherwise violate this Section 2(a), Section 3 or any other provision of this Agreement, (iii) identifying potential director candidates to serve on the Board so long as such actions do not create a public disclosure obligation for the Ancora Investors or the Company, are not publicly disclosed by the Ancora Investors or its Affiliates and are undertaken on a basis reasonably designed to be confidential; (iv) making or sending private communications to investors in any member of the Ancora Investors or any of their Affiliates or prospective investors in any member of the Ancora Investors or any of their Affiliates, provided that such statements or communications (1) are based on publicly available information; and (2) are not reasonably expected to be publicly disclosed and are understood by all parties to be confidential communications; or (v) taking any action to the extent necessary to comply with any law, rule or regulation or any action required by any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange that has, or may have, jurisdiction over any of the Ancora Investors. Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any way the New Director Candidates (or any Replacement New Director, as applicable) in the exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law as a director of the Company.

10

b. In respect of any vote or consent of the Company’s stockholders during the Standstill Period (whether at an annual or special stockholder meeting (including the Company Stockholders Meeting)) or pursuant to an action by written consent of the stockholders) (each a “Stockholder Meeting”), each of the Ancora Investors shall appear or act in person or by proxy and vote all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to (i) the election, removal and/or replacement of directors (a “Director Proposal”), (ii) the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and (iii) any other proposal submitted to the Company’s stockholders at a Stockholder Meeting, in each case as such recommendation of the Board is set forth in the applicable definitive proxy statement filed in respect thereof; provided, however, that, in the event that each of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) make a recommendation that differs from the recommendation of the Board with respect to any proposal submitted to the stockholders at any Stockholder Meeting (other than Director Proposals or any proposal submitted to the stockholders at the Company Stockholders Meeting (which shall be subject to the immediately following sentence)), the Ancora Investors are permitted to vote the shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them at such Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the ISS and Glass Lewis recommendation; provided, further, that, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, the Ancora Investors shall be entitled to vote the shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them in their sole discretion with respect to (A) any publicly announced proposal relating to any transaction pursuant to which any person is or becomes a Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the Company’s then-outstanding equity interests and voting power, a merger, stock-for-stock transaction, spin-off, acquisition, disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries or other business combination involving the Company, (B) any financing, recapitalization, restructuring, share issuance or similar extraordinary transaction or (C) the implementation of takeover defenses not in existence as of the date of this Agreement, in each case, that requires a vote of the Company’s stockholders. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, the Ancora Investors hereby irrevocably commit to appear or act in person or by proxy and vote all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to all proposals submitted to the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholders Meeting, including (a) any proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and thereby approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (the “Merger Proposal”), (b) any proposal to approve, on a nonbinding advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to named executive officers of the Company that is based on or otherwise relates to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Compensation Proposal”), and (c) any proposal to approve the adjournment of the Company Stockholders Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal; provided that, solely with respect to the Compensation Proposal, in the event that each of ISS and Glass Lewis makes a recommendation that differs from the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Compensation Proposal, the Ancora Investors shall be permitted to vote the shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them at the Company Stockholders Meeting in accordance with the ISS and Glass Lewis recommendation with respect to the Compensation Proposal.

Board of Directors

Reference is made to that certain Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of January [ ● ], 2023, by and among IAA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the natural persons and entities listed on Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Ancora Investors”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

I hereby irrevocably undertake that, while I serve as an observer to the Board, I will be governed by, and will comply with, the same protections and obligations regarding confidentiality, conflicts of interests, related party transactions, codes of conduct, trading and disclosure policies, director resignation policy, and other governance guidelines and policies of the Company as current directors, as amended from time to time (collectively, for purposes of this Observer Undertaking, the “Company Policies”). Furthermore, I irrevocably undertake that I will not share any information with the Ancora Investors or any other person in respect of the Company which I learn in my capacity as an observer to the Board, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or any Board committee, at any time, for any reason, without the Company’s prior consent.

If appointed as an Observer, I hereby irrevocably offer to resign from my position as the Observer, effective immediately upon notice from the Company that I have materially breached this Observer Undertaking (including a material breach of any of the Company Policies) or the Agreement; provided that I need not offer to resign if any such breach is capable of being cured and I have cured such breach within ten (10) calendar days following written notice of such breach from the Company. It shall be in the Board’s sole discretion whether to accept or reject such resignation. Further, I hereby acknowledge that I will no longer be an Observer upon my appointment to serve as a director of the Company.

FORM OF PRESS RELEASE

Ritchie Bros. and IAA Announce Amended Merger Agreement That Enhances Value for Ritchie Bros. Shareholders While Increasing Cash Consideration for IAA Shareholders

Amended Agreement Unanimously Approved by the Ritchie Bros. and IAA Boards Following Engagement with a Cross-Section of Shareholders

New Investor Presentation Released Highlighting the Pending Merger’s Significant Potential Value Creation Opportunities, Which Includes an Estimated Total of $350 Million to $900 Million in EBITDA Growth Opportunities

Proposed Transaction Now Supported by Ancora, a Top Shareholder of IAA, and Starboard Value, Which Has Agreed to Make a Sizable Investment in Ritchie Bros.

Investor Conference Call Scheduled for 8:00 A.M. Eastern Time Today

VANCOUVER, BC and WESTCHESTER, Ill., Jan. 23, 2023 – Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated (NYSE: RBA) (TSX: RBA) ("Ritchie Bros.") and IAA, Inc. (NYSE: IAA) (“IAA”) today announced that they have amended the terms of their previously announced merger agreement, pursuant to which Ritchie Bros. will acquire IAA in a stock and cash transaction. The amended agreement, which delivers enhanced value to Ritchie Bros. shareholders and increased cash consideration to IAA shareholders, has been unanimously approved by each company’s Board of Directors.

Under the terms of the amended agreement, IAA shareholders will receive $12.80¹ per share in cash and 0.5252 common shares of Ritchie Bros. for each share of IAA common stock they own. The change in consideration mix represents a shift in the cash/stock mix to approximately 29% cash/71% stock from the previous mix of 22% cash/78% stock.

Additionally, the Ritchie Bros. Board of Directors announced that it expects to approve the issuance of a one-time special dividend to Ritchie Bros. shareholders in the amount of $1.08 per common share, which will be payable to holders of record as of a pre-closing record date to be determined with the consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and contingent on the closing of the IAA transaction.

Ann Fandozzi, CEO of Ritchie Bros., commented:

“We are pleased to have reached an amended agreement with IAA, which reflects feedback we’ve received from shareholders regarding the best structure for the transaction. We believe that the transaction with IAA will allow us to unlock significantly more value for shareholders than either company could deliver standalone through the realization of cost synergies and additional revenue opportunities. Together we expect to accelerate our marketplace vision by increasing our transaction volume, driving growth of attached services and advancing our yard strategy. We look forward to continuing to discuss the anticipated benefits of the transaction with our shareholders.”

John Kett, CEO and President of IAA, added:

“We believe that the revised transaction is in the best interests of IAA and our shareholders. The amended agreement will provide our shareholders with increased cash consideration upon close of the transaction, while retaining a significant interest in the upside potential of the combined company. Our view is unaltered that combining Ritchie Bros. and IAA’s marketplace capabilities will create a unique value proposition with significantly increased earnings power and shareholder value creation. In addition, we appreciate the collaborative and constructive dialogue with Ancora and their public support for the transaction.”

¹ All figures are presented in U.S. dollars

Fred DiSanto, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ancora, and James Chadwick, President of Ancora Alternatives, concluded:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing a company’s financial condition or operating results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures under GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

With respect to IAA, adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net income before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and further adjusted for items that IAA’s management believes are not representative of ongoing operations including, but not limited to, (a) non-income, tax-related accruals, (b) fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration (c) severance, restructuring and other retention expenses, (d) the net loss or gain on the sale of assets or expenses associated with certain M&A, financing and other transactions, (e) acquisition costs, and (f) certain professional fees, as well as (g) gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange rates. IAA believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information regarding IAA’s operational performance because it enhances an investor’s overall understanding of IAA’s core financial performance and helps investors compare IAA’s performance to prior and future periods.

With respect to RBA, RBA believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the growth or decline of its net income when compared between different financial periods. RBA uses adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure because RBA believes it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and provides management with the ability to monitor its controllable incremental revenues and costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, and subtracting interest income from net income, as well as adding back share-based payments expense, acquisition-related costs, loss (gain) on disposition of property, plant and equipment, terminated and ongoing transaction costs, and excluding the effects of any non-recurring or unusual adjusting items.

Further information regarding non-GAAP financial measures is included in the respective filings with the SEC and/or applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities of RBA and IAA.

(NYSE: IAA) (“IAA”) today announced that they have amended the terms of their previously announced merger agreement, pursuant to which Ritchie Bros. will acquire IAA in a stock and cash transaction. The amended agreement, which delivers enhanced value to Ritchie Bros. shareholders and increased cash consideration to IAA shareholders, has been unanimously approved by each company’s Board of Directors.

Under the terms of the amended agreement, IAA shareholders will receive $12.80¹ per share in cash and 0.5252 common shares of Ritchie Bros. for each share of IAA common stock they own. The change in consideration mix represents a shift in the cash/stock mix to approximately 29% cash/71% stock from the previous mix of 22% cash/78% stock.

Additionally, the Ritchie Bros. Board of Directors announced that it expects to approve the issuance of a one-time special dividend to Ritchie Bros. shareholders in the amount of $1.08 per common share, which will be payable to holders of record as of a pre-closing record date to be determined with the consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and contingent on the closing of the IAA transaction.

Ann Fandozzi, CEO of Ritchie Bros., commented:

“We are pleased to have reached an amended agreement with IAA, which reflects feedback we’ve received from shareholders regarding the best structure for the transaction. We believe that the transaction with IAA will allow us to unlock significantly more value for shareholders than either company could deliver standalone through the realization of cost synergies and additional revenue opportunities. Together we expect to accelerate our marketplace vision by increasing our transaction volume, driving growth of attached services and advancing our yard strategy. We look forward to continuing to discuss the anticipated benefits of the transaction with our shareholders.”

John Kett, CEO and President of IAA, added:

“We believe that the revised transaction is in the best interests of IAA and our shareholders. The amended agreement will provide our shareholders with increased cash consideration upon close of the transaction, while retaining a significant interest in the upside potential of the combined company. Our view is unaltered that combining Ritchie Bros. and IAA’s marketplace capabilities will create a unique value proposition with significantly increased earnings power and shareholder value creation. In addition, we appreciate the collaborative and constructive dialogue with Ancora and their public support for the transaction.”

¹ All figures are presented in U.S. dollars

Fred DiSanto, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ancora, and James Chadwick, President of Ancora Alternatives, concluded:

“Ancora is pleased to support this revised transaction, which positions IAA shareholders to benefit from a material improvement in cash consideration while retaining strong participation in the combined company’s increased earnings power. After expressing concerns regarding the initial transaction terms, we had a series of productive, private discussions with each company’s leadership team to provide feedback. We appreciate that both companies were open and responsive to our input, and we look forward to supporting Ann and her team as they integrate these two exceptional businesses.”

Pursuant to a mutual cooperation agreement reached between IAA and Ancora, Tim O’Day, a seasoned industry executive and operator and the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Group Services Inc., is expected to be appointed to the Ritchie Bros. Board of Directors upon the closing of the transaction. He will be one of the four IAA board designees, subject to satisfactory completion of customary vetting and onboarding matters.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing a company’s financial condition or operating results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures under GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

With respect to IAA, adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net income before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and further adjusted for items that IAA’s management believes are not representative of ongoing operations including, but not limited to, (a) non-income, tax-related accruals, (b) fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration (c) severance, restructuring and other retention expenses, (d) the net loss or gain on the sale of assets or expenses associated with certain M&A, financing and other transactions, (e) acquisition costs, and (f) certain professional fees, as well as (g) gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange rates. IAA believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information regarding IAA’s operational performance because it enhances an investor’s overall understanding of IAA’s core financial performance and helps investors compare IAA’s performance to prior and future periods.

With respect to RBA, RBA believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the growth or decline of its net income when compared between different financial periods. RBA uses adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure because RBA believes it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and provides management with the ability to monitor its controllable incremental revenues and costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, and subtracting interest income from net income, as well as adding back share-based payments expense, acquisition-related costs, loss (gain) on disposition of property, plant and equipment, terminated and ongoing transaction costs, and excluding the effects of any non-recurring or unusual adjusting items.

Further information regarding non-GAAP financial measures is included in the respective filings with the SEC and/or applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities of RBA and IAA.
