Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On July 28, 2021, TPG Pace Solutions Corp., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (“TPG Pace”), Vacasa Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Vacasa”), Turnkey Vacations, Inc., an equity holder of Vacasa (“TK Newco”), certain other equity holders of Vacasa (together with TK Newco, the “Blockers”), Vacasa, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Vacasa (“Newco”) and certain other parties named therein, entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein:

 

a)one business day prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), TPG Pace will merge with and into Newco (the “Merger”), with Newco surviving the Merger;
   
b)at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and as a result of the Merger, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of TPG Pace will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of class A common stock of Newco (the “Newco Class A Common Stock”); (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class F ordinary share of TPG Pace will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of class F common stock of Newco (“Newco Class F Common Stock”), which will thereafter convert into shares of Newco Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Newco Certificate of Incorporation; (iii) each then issued and outstanding Class G ordinary share of TPG Pace will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of class G common stock of Newco (“Newco Class G Common Stock”); and (iv) the common stock of Newco held by Vacasa will be cancelled;
   
c)prior to the Effective Time: (i) a series of secured convertible notes of Vacasa will convert into a series of preferred units of Vacasa and outstanding warrants to purchase equity interests in Vacasa will be exercised in accordance with their terms; (ii) a restructuring will be completed such that, after giving effect to that restructuring, the Blockers will directly hold equity interests in Vacasa; and (iii) Vacasa will recapitalize its outstanding equity interests into Vacasa common units (subject to substantially the same terms and conditions, including applicable vesting requirements) (the “Vacasa Recapitalization”);
   
d)on the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) investors party to Subscription Agreements (as defined below) will purchase, and Newco will issue and sell to the investors, the number of shares of Newco Class A Common Stock pursuant to and set forth in the Subscription Agreements against payment of the amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements;
   
e)the investors party to the Forward Purchase Agreements (as defined below) will purchase, and Newco will issue and sell to such investors, the number of shares of Newco Class A Common Stock pursuant to and as set forth in the Forward Purchase Agreements against payment of the amount set forth in the Forward Purchase Agreements;

 

 

 

 

f)through a series of separate merger transactions, the Blockers will merge with and into Newco, with Newco ultimately surviving such merger transactions as the parent company of Vacasa (the “Blocker Mergers”);
   
g)immediately following the Blocker Mergers, Newco will contribute all of its assets (other than the OpCo Units (as defined below) it then holds), which will consist of the amount of funds contained in TPG Pace’s trust account (net of any transaction expenses and amounts paid in respect of shareholder redemptions and including the net cash proceeds resulting from the Subscription Agreements and the Forward Purchase Agreements), less the Vacasa Cash Consideration, if applicable (as defined below), to OpCo in exchange for a number of OpCo Units such that Newco thereafter will hold a number of OpCo Units equal to the total number of shares of Newco Class A Common Stock (after giving effect to the conversion of the Newco Class F Common Stock in accordance with the Newco Certificate of Incorporation) and Newco Class G Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination. A portion of such OpCo Units will be subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Vacasa; and
   
h)on the Closing Date, in connection with the Vacasa Recapitalization, the Merger and Blocker Mergers, as applicable: (a) Newco will sell a number of shares of Newco Class B Common Stock to each holder of OpCo Units for an amount per share equal to the par value thereof, (b) each Vacasa unit appreciation right award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into an award of stock appreciation rights (each, a “Newco SAR Award”) covering a number of shares of Newco Class A Common Stock, (c) each option to purchase TK Newco stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into an option to purchase shares of Newco Class A Common Stock (each, a “Newco Option”), (d) each Vacasa equity holder (including the owners of the Blockers with respect to their indirect interest in Vacasa equity and the holders of Vacasa unit appreciation rights and options to purchase shares of TK Newco common stock (collectively, the “Existing Vacasa Holders”)) entitled to receive a portion of the Vacasa Cash Consideration, if applicable, (other than the owners of the Blockers) will sell OpCo Units to Newco in exchange for its allocable portion of the Vacasa Cash Consideration, if applicable, (at a price of $10 per OpCo Unit) and certain rights described in the Tax Receivable Agreements (as defined below) with respect to such OpCo Units sold, and (e) by virtue of each Blocker Merger, the outstanding equity interests in the applicable Blocker will be converted into the right to receive shares of Newco Class A Common Stock or other equity interests and certain rights as set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreements;

 

The aggregate consideration in connection with the Business Combination will be based on an equity value for Vacasa of $3,963,000,000. This aggregate consideration is expected to consist solely of shares of Newco valued at $10.00 per share/unit (the “Equity Consideration”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties may elect for a portion of the consideration to be payable in cash, in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of cash available to us following the contemplated PIPE Financing and forward purchases (as described below), the payment of transaction expenses, deferred underwriting commissions, and any share redemptions over $373,000,000 (the “Vacasa Cash Consideration”), in which case the amount of Equity Consideration will be reduced accordingly. At this time, the amount of Vacasa Cash Consideration is expected to be $0.00 and holders of Vacasa equity are expected to retain the entirety of their equity interests (as discussed above).

 

The Business Combination is being accomplished through what is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies (such as Vacasa) undertaking an initial public offering. The Up-C structure allows certain of the Existing Vacasa Holders (other than the owners of the Blockers) to retain their direct equity ownership in Vacasa, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of units of common equity of OpCo following the Business Combination (“OpCo Units”).

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the parties thereto, as more particularly set forth therein. The Business Combination Agreement also contains customary pre-Closing covenants of the parties, including the obligations of Vacasa, TPG Pace and their respective subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course and to refrain from taking certain specified actions, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of certain counterparties to the Business Combination Agreement.

 

 

 

 

Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Consummate the Business Combination

 

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to customary closing conditions for transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies, including, among others, (i) the requisite approvals by TPG Pace shareholders and holders of Vacasa membership interests; (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iii) no order, statute, rule or regulation prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement being in force; (iv) TPG Pace having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets remaining following any redemptions by TPG Pace shareholders; (v) the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Newco in connection with the Business Combination having become effective; (vi) the shares of Newco Class A Common Stock having been approved for listing on the applicable designated exchange; (vii) the Merger having been completed; (viii) customary bring down conditions; and (ix) the amount of available cash at Closing, including the amount in TPG Pace’s trust account (net of shareholder redemptions and transaction expenses) plus the proceeds received by TPG Pace pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements and Subscription Agreements, being at least $300,000,000.

 

Termination Rights

 

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (i) by mutual written consent of TPG Pace and Vacasa; (ii) by TPG Pace or Vacasa upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) if Closing has not occurred prior to the date that is 180 days after the date of execution of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Outside Date”), unless extended pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, provided however, that the Business Combination Agreement may not be terminated by or on behalf of any party that is either directly or indirectly through its affiliates in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained in the Business Combination Agreement and such breach or violation is the cause of the failure to consummate the Business Combination on or prior to the Outside Date; or (b) if any governmental entity in the United States has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order decree ruling that has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Business Combination illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination; (iii) by Vacasa if any of the Pace Proposals (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) fails to receive the requisite vote for approval at the Pace Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (iv) by TPG Pace if Vacasa does not deliver the Written Consent (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) in compliance with the Business Combination Agreement; (v) by TPG Pace in the event any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by Vacasa or the Blockers has been breached or has become untrue such that the conditions to Closing would not be satisfied, provided however, that TPG Pace has not waived such breach and that neither TPG Pace nor any Merger Sub is then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under the Business Combination Agreement so as to cause a condition to Closing to fail; provided, further, that if such breach is curable by Vacasa, TPG Pace may not terminate for so long as Vacasa continues to exercise its reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured by the earlier of 30 days after notice of such breach and the Outside Date; or (vi) by Vacasa in the event any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by TPG Pace or any Merger Sub has been breached or has become untrue such that the conditions to Closing would not be satisfied, provided however, that Vacasa has not waived such breach and that neither Vacasa nor any Blocker is then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under the Business Combination Agreement so as to cause a condition to Closing to fail; provided, further, that if such breach is curable by TPG Pace and Merger Subs, Vacasa may not terminate for so long as TPG Pace continues to exercise its reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured by the earlier of 30 days after notice of such breach and the Outside Date.

 

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

Amended and Restated Bylaws of Vacasa, Inc.

 

At the Effective Time, Newco will adopt bylaws in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Newco Bylaws”). The Newco Bylaws include customary provisions for the bylaws of a publicly traded company. In addition, they include provisions that will lock up certain of the holders of shares of Newco Class A Common Stock and Newco Class B Common Stock (the “Lock-Up Shares”) received as consideration in the Merger, and excluding pre-closing shareholders of Pace, for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 180 days thereafter, with the exception of certain shares that are subject to early release upon the sale price of Newco Class A Common Stock achieving certain thresholds (the “Lock-Up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a definitive agreement that contemplates a change of control of Newco is entered into after the Closing Date, the Lock-up Period for any Lock-up Shares shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lock-up Shares shall be subject to any lock up from and after the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date.

 

A copy of the form of Newco Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Transaction Support Agreement

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, TPG Pace, Vacasa, TK Newco and all holders required for requisite consent under the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement of Vacasa Holdings LLC (“Vacasa Holdings LLC Agreement”) and the Stockholders Agreement of TK Newco (including a majority of the Vacasa Holdings equity holders and of the TurnKey Vacation shareholders, respectively) (collectively, the “Holders”) entered into an agreement (the “Transaction Support Agreements”), pursuant to which each Holder agreed to, among other things, (i) execute a written consent approving the Business Combination Agreement and vote in favor of the transactions contemplated thereby (including an agreement to exercise drag-along rights pursuant to the Vacasa Holdings LLC Agreement); (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination; and (iii) withhold consent with respect to any alternative transaction.

 

The foregoing description of the Transaction Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Transaction Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Subscription Agreements

 

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, TPG Pace and Newco entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Newco agreed to issue and sell to the Investors, an aggregate of 8,157,896 shares of Newco Class A Common Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $77,500,000 at $9.50 per share (the “Private Placement”). The proceeds from the Private Placement will be paid to Newco in connection with the Business Combination. The Private Placement is contingent upon, among other things, all conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement having been satisfied or waived and other customary closing conditions.

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Investors will be entitled to certain registration rights, subject to certain limitations as set forth therein. Each Subscription Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, and (iii) the date that is nine months after the date of such Subscription Agreement if the Closing has not yet occurred.

 

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

(“TPG Holdings III”) and TPG Pace Solutions Sponsor, Series LLC (“TPG Sponsor”), pursuant to which TPG Holdings III agreed to purchase 2,490,000 million shares of TPG Pace Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for gross proceeds of $24,900,000 at $10.00 per share (the “TPG Forward Purchase Agreement”). Such proceeds formed a portion of the consideration that will be used for the completion of the Business Combination.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the TPG Forward Purchase Agreements and the Forward Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject, and qualified in their entirety by reference, to the forms of the TPG Forward Purchase Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreements, filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement will provide for a redemption right with respect to certain limited liability company interests in Vacasa, designated as “Common Units” (“Vacasa Common Units”), pursuant to which each Vacasa Common Unit will be redeemable, subject to certain limitations, for either one share of Newco Class A Common Stock, or, at Newco’s election, an equivalent amount of cash, pursuant to and in accordance with the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Letter Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Letter Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Newco, TPG Sponsor, and certain existing equity holders of Vacasa have agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) at the Closing. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the parties will be entitled to certain customary registration rights, including demand, shelf and piggy-back rights. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide that the Company pay certain expenses of the electing holders relating to such registrations and indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Stockholders Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, (i) Newco; (ii) certain funds affiliated with Silver Lake Partners (“Silver Lake Stockholder”); (iii) certain funds affiliated with Riverwood Capital (“Riverwood Stockholder”); (iv) certain funds affiliated with Level Equity Management (“Level Equity Stockholder”); (v) TPG Stockholder (“TPG Stockholder”); and (vi) Mossytree Inc. (“EB Stockholder”) will enter into the Stockholders Agreement, which governs certain rights and obligations of the parties.

 

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the board of directors of Newco (the “Newco Board”) appointed at the Closing will be comprised of ten members, divided into three classes, comprised of two directors designated by the Silver Lake Stockholder, one director designated by the Riverwood Stockholder, one director designated by the Level Equity Stockholder, one director designated by the TPG Stockholder, one director designated by the EB Stockholder, one director designated by Vacasa and three independent directors, one of which shall be a diversity candidate.

 

The Silver Lake Stockholder will have the right to designate two directors as long as it and its affiliates beneficially own at least 40% of the shares of Newco, and certain limited liability company interests in Vacasa (collectively, the “Shares”) owned by the Silver Lake Stockholder immediately following the Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (the “Initial Silver Lake Ownership”). The Silver Lake Stockholder’s designation rights will be reduced to one director when the Silver Lake Stockholder and its affiliates beneficially own between 20% and 40% of the Initial Silver Lake Ownership. The Riverwood Stockholder will have the right to designate one director as long as it, and its affiliates, beneficially own at least 20% of the Shares owned by the Riverwood Stockholder immediately following the Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The Level Equity Stockholder will have the right to designate one director as long as it, and its affiliates, beneficially own at least 20% of the Shares owned by the Level Equity Stockholder immediately following the Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The TPG Stockholder will be entitled to its designation right until the first annual meeting of the stockholders of Newco at which directors are to be elected. The EB Stockholder will have the right to designate one director as long as (i) it and its affiliates beneficially own at least 20% of the Shares owned by the EB Stockholder immediately following Closing, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, and (ii) none of such beneficially owned shares are foreclosed upon by any lender.

 

 

 

 

In addition, the Stockholders Agreement provides for certain coordination of sales and distributions for a period of 18 months following the Closing Date.

 

The foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Tax Receivable Agreement

 

Concurrently with the Closing of the Business Combination, Newco will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with certain holders of OpCo Units and the Blocker Holders (collectively, the “TRA Holders”). The Tax Receivable Agreement generally will provide for the payment by Newco to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that Newco actually realizes in periods after the Business Combination as a result of: (i) any existing tax basis associated with Vacasa, the benefit of which is allocable to Newco as a result of the exchanges of Vacasa Common Units for Newco Class A Common Stock or cash or the Blocker Mergers; (ii) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) any acquisition of Vacasa Common Units from certain holders of OpCo Units in the Business Combination, (B) future exercises of the redemption right set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, and (C) payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement; (iii) any net operating losses or certain other tax attributes of the Blockers that become available to Newco as a result of the Blocker Mergers; and (iv) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by Newco as a result of any payments that Newco makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Newco will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of any such net cash savings.

 

If Newco elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, Newco would be required to make a payment within three (3) calendar days to each TRA Holder (an “Early Termination Payment”) equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by Newco to such TRA Holder under the Tax Receivable Agreement (based upon certain valuation assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement and including interest accruing on any such amounts) and it is expected that the aggregate amount of such payments would be substantial. If a Change of Control (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) occurs, all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be accelerated and such obligations will include, but not be limited to, the payment of the Early Termination Payment.

 

The foregoing description of the Tax Receivable Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Tax Receivable Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.9 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

A full description of the terms of the proposed business combination will be provided in a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Newco that will include a proxy statement for the shareholders of TPG Pace that also constitutes a prospectus of Newco.
