In addition to shares received at the Closing, LCP may be entitled to receive up to the equivalent of $75,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock if certain acquisition targets identified by HydraFacial are acquired before or within one year after the Closing.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth in Items 2 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

By virtue of their voting power and board representation, the Reporting Persons have influence over amendments to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and approval of significant corporate transactions, including mergers and sales of substantially all of the Issuer’s assets.

In addition, the Reporting Persons have influence over the Issuer’s corporate activities, which may relate to, among other things, the Issuer’s capitalization, management, business, operations, corporate governance, strategy, future plans and the other transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Additionally, the Reporting Persons review on a continuing basis their investment in the Issuer. Based on such review, one or more of the Reporting Persons, individually or in the aggregate, from time to time, may acquire, or cause to be acquired, through open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or otherwise, additional securities or assets of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, dispose of, or cause to be disposed, securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries (subject to the lock-up agreement described below), enter into or unwind hedging or other derivative transactions with respect to securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, form joint ventures with the Issuer or its subsidiaries, pledge their interest in securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries as a means of obtaining liquidity or as credit support for loans for any purpose, or formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer, its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities or assets, in light of the Reporting Persons’ investment mandates and the general investment and trading policies of the Reporting Persons, the Issuer’s business and prospects, financial condition and operating results, general market and industry conditions or other factors. In addition, the Reporting Persons and their representatives and advisers will engage in communications with the Issuer’s other directors and members of management and other security holders, industry participants and other interested parties concerning the Issuer, including with respect to the types of transactions disclosed in this paragraph or otherwise referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons will exercise any and all of their rights in a manner consistent with their direct and indirect equity interests, contractual rights and restrictions and other duties, if any. The Reporting Persons will, at any time from time to time, review or reconsider their position or change their purpose or formulate plans, strategies or proposals and take such actions with respect to the Issuer. These potential actions could involve one or more of the events or transactions disclosed in this paragraph or otherwise referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Class A Common Stock to be received by management unitholders in connection with the Distribution and Redemption Agreement will be subject to applicable lock-up provisions. The description of the Distribution and Redemption Agreement contained in this Item 4 is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons presently has any additional plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions enumerated in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Exhibit A

Form of Lock-Up Agreement

EX-99.6 5 d120424dex996.htm EX-6 EX-6

Exhibit 6

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 4. 2021, by and among The Beauty Health Company, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), BLS Investor Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), LCP Edge Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdco”) and DW Healthcare Partners IV (B), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“DWHP” and, together with Holdco, the “Company Stockholders”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 8, 2020, by and among LCP Edge Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Parent, Hydrate Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub I”), Hydrate Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”) and Holdco (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The Company Stockholders and any person or entity who hereafter becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 1 are referred to herein, individually, as a “Holder” and, collectively, as the “Holders.” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by the parties thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Holders’ Parent Common Stock (the “Restricted Securities”) shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Lock-Up Provisions.

(a) The Holders hereby agree not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and through the earlier of (x) the one hundred and eightieth (180) day anniversary of the date of the Closing and (y) the date after the Closing on which Parent consummates a Change of Control (as defined below) (the “Lock-Up Period”): sell, transfer to another or otherwise dispose of, in whole or in part, the Restricted Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a “Prohibited Transfer”). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:

(A) the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities by a bona fide gift or charitable contribution, on death by will or intestacy to a member of such Holders’ immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned and/or a member or members of such Holders’ immediate family or an affiliate of such person or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;

(B) the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities to any Permitted Transferee; or


(C) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Restricted Securities; provided, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period;

provided, however, that in any of cases (A) or (B), it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee, if not a Company Stockholder, enters into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein; provided, further, that in any of cases (A) or (B) such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Change of Control” shall mean any bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that (i) any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of total voting power of the voting stock of Parent or (ii) all of the Company’s stockholders have the right to exchange their shares of Parent Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean:

(i) as a distribution to the direct or indirect general partners, limited partners, shareholders, members of, stockholders, unitholders or owners of similar equity interests in a Holder;

(ii) to any affiliate of a Company Stockholder or to any fund or other entity controlled or managed by such entity or any of its affiliates, or to an investment manager or investment advisor of a Company Stockholder or an affiliate of any such investment manager or investment advisor; or

(iii) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a distribution or transfer would be permissible under (i) or (ii) above.

The Holders further agree to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by Parent that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

(b) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Parent shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, Parent may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities (and permitted transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

2. Miscellaneous.

(a) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of a Holder are personal to such Holder and may not be transferred or delegated at any time.

(b) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any person who is not a signatory hereto any rights or benefits, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.

(c) Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to its choice of law rules that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall only be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, then in the applicable Delaware state court), or if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction of such claim or cause of action is vested in the federal courts, then the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (b) expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes thereof, and (c) waives and agrees not to raise (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) any and all jurisdictional, venue and convenience objections or defenses that such party may have in such action or proceeding.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 2(D).

(g) Amendments and Waivers. Only upon the approval by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Parent then in office that qualify as “independent” for purposes of audit committee membership under Section 10A-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived by Parent, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of Restricted Securities, shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or Parent and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or Parent in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or Parent. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

(h) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(i) Specific Performance. Each Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by such Holder, money damages will be inadequate and Parent will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by such Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by a Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any documents related thereto or referred to therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement

 

6


shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of any of the Holders under any other agreement between any of the Holders and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by any of the Holders in favor of Parent, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of any of the Holders under this Agreement.

(k) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(l) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by other electronic means in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
