In January 2023, pursuant to the terms of the SEPA and the Second Supplemental Agreement, Yorkville delivered Investor Notices requiring the Company to issue and sell an aggregate of 1,953,612 shares of common stock to Yorkville to offset all outstanding amounts owed to Yorkville under the December 2022 Promissory Note.
On February 1, 2023, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $5,000 (the “February 2023 Promissory Note”) in a private placement to Yorkville under the Second Supplemental Agreement. On February 23, 2023 and February 27, 2023, Yorkville delivered Investor Notices pursuant to which, effective February 28, 2023, Yorkville would offset all amounts due under the February 2023 Promissory Note in connection with Yorkville’s purchase of an aggregate of 3,879,706 shares of common stock of the Company under the SEPA. Following the issuance of the shares, there would be no amount outstanding under the February 2023 Promissory Note.
Convertible Note Issuance
On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Great American Insurance Company, Ardsley Partners Renewable Energy, LP, CCI SPV III, LP, Denman Street LLC, John B. Berding Irrevocable Children’s Trust, John B. Berding, and AE Convert, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company managed by Russell Stidolph, a related party as Mr. Stidolph is a director of the Company (together, the “Purchasers”) relating to the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of $13,750 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 26.5% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2026. The transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement closed on January 18, 2023.
Delaware Section 205 Petition
On November 12, 2020, BMRG, the predecessor to the Company, held the BMRG Special Meeting to approve certain matters relating to the business combination between BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC.
One of these matters was a proposal to amend and restate BMRG’s certificate of incorporation in order to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 125,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, and to reclassify all Class A common stock and Class B common stock as a single class of common stock (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”). The Charter Amendment Proposal was approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of BMRG as of the record date for the BMRG Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, although voting records indicate that a majority of each of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock also approved the Charter Amendment Proposal. After the BMRG Special Meeting, BMRG and Eos Energy Storage LLC closed the business combination and the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended to give effect to the Charter Amendment Proposal, became effective.
A recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery introduced uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL would have required the Charter Amendment Proposal to be approved by separate votes of the majority of BMRG’s then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
The Company had been proceeding with the understanding that the Charter Amendment Proposal and the amendment and restated certificate of incorporation are valid. In light of this recent ruling, however, to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s capital structure, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the Charter Amendment Proposal. Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts.
On February 27, 2023, the Court of Chancery approved the Company's request for relief and entered an order under Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (1) declaring the Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter"), including the filing and effectiveness thereof, as validated and effective retroactive to the date of its filing with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 16, 2020, and all amendments effected thereby and (2) ordering that the Company's securities (and the issuance of the securities) described in the Petition and any other securities issued in reliance on the validity of the Charter are validated and declared effective, each as of the original issuance dates.
