Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 7, 2019, Pivotal Acquisition Corp. (“Pivotal”), LD Topco, Inc. (the “Company”) and MGG Investment Group, LP (“MGG”) entered into a commitment letter pursuant to that certain Forward Purchase Contract, dated as of January 31, 2019, between Pivotal and Pivotal Spac Funding LLC, an affiliate of Kevin Griffin, one of Pivotal’s directors. The commitment letter provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Pivotal and MGG may enter into definitive documentation pursuant to which Pivotal may borrow, and MGG and/or certain of its affiliates have agreed to lend, up to $150 million of 5-year convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”), with that principal amount being reduced to the extent that more than $80 million remains in Pivotal’s trust account established in connection with its initial public offering after giving effect to any redemptions by the public stockholders. As an example, if the trust account holds $130 million in cash after giving effect to such redemptions, then Pivotal may issue $100 million in Convertible Notes . The Convertible Notes will pay interest at a rate of 8% per year, with 4% being paid in cash and 4% being paid in additional Convertible Notes. Pivotal will have the option to require the Convertible Notes to be converted into shares of Pivotal common stock at the then-current stock price if the last reported sale price of the Pivotal common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days in a 30 trading-day period. Pivotal may repay all or a portion of the Convertible Notes (including any paid-in kind interest) at any time without any prepayment penalty. In the event of such a prepayment, the holders of the Convertible Notes will have the option to purchase shares of Pivotal common stock, at any time prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes, in an amount equal to the amount of Convertible Notes prepaid at a price equal to the average closing share price for Pivotal common stock for the five trading days prior to the date of the repayment. All principal and accrued but unpaid interest will be due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the business combination between Pivotal and the Company. The commitment letter provides that under the definitive documentation governing the Convertible Notes, Pivotal will be restricted from selling any additional senior or junior debt securities while the Convertible Notes are outstanding without the prior consent of the holders of the Convertible Notes. Such definitive documentation will also contain certain other affirmative covenants customarily included in similar debt instruments issued by public companies. The closing of the issuance of the Convertible Notes is conditioned upon the consummation of the business combination between Pivotal and the Company, with the proceeds from the Convertible Notes able to be used to fund the minimum cash consideration set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 20, 2019, as amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of October 30, 2019, between the parties.
