PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED OCTOBER 19, 2022

PROXY STATEMENT OF DTRT HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.

PROSPECTUS FOR

78,474,946 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND 22,700,000 WARRANTS

OF GRIZZLY NEW PUBCO, INC.

(WHICH WILL BE RENAMED CONSUMER DIRECT CARE NETWORK, INC.)

The board of directors of DTRT Health Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“DTRT,” “we,” “us” or “our”), has unanimously approved an agreement and plan of merger, dated September 28, 2022, by and among DTRT, Grizzly New Pubco, Inc. (“New Pubco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (“Grizzly Merger Sub”), and Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc., a Montana corporation (“CDH”) (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). If the Merger Agreement is adopted by DTRT’s stockholders and the transactions under the Merger Agreement are consummated, the CDH Shareholders (as defined below) will form a Delaware corporation (“Newco”) and contribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of CDH common stock to Newco in exchange for shares of Newco common stock. Grizzly Merger Sub will merge with and into DTRT, DTRT Stockholders (as defined below) will receive shares of New Pubco common stock in exchange for their DTRT Shares and New Pubco Sponsor Warrants (as defined below) in exchange for their Sponsor Warrants, and DTRT will be the surviving entity in the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (the “First Merger”), and immediately following the First Merger, DTRT will convert into a limited liability company. Following the First Merger, Newco will merge with and into New Pubco, with New Pubco surviving the merger (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, New Pubco will be renamed “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.” (“CDCN”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, DTRT has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of CDH for approximately $527 million (but is subject to adjustment at the consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and as summarized herein) in aggregate consideration. As a result of the Business Combination, CDH Shareholders will receive consideration in the form of cash and shares of common stock of New Pubco (“New Pubco common stock”). In connection with the First Merger and without any further action on the part of any party, each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of DTRT will be converted into one share of New Pubco common stock, and each Sponsor Warrant and Public Warrant will be converted into one Sponsor Warrant of New Pubco and one public warrant of New Pubco, respectively, each exercisable for one share of New Pubco common stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Newco common stock will be converted into the right to receive the applicable per share merger consideration, which will be in the form of cash and New Pubco common stock. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of Financing (as defined below) satisfactory to CDH.

Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), every issued and outstanding DTRT unit will be automatically detached, to the extent the DTRT units have not already detached, and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one share of New Pubco common stock and one-half of one New Pubco warrant.

DTRT’s units, Class A common stock and Public Warrants are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “DTRTU”, “DTRT” and “DTRTW”, respectively. New Pubco intends to apply to list the New Pubco common stock and public warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “CDCN” and “CDCNW”, respectively, upon the Closing of the Business Combination. DTRT will not have units traded following Closing of the Business Combination.

DTRT will hold a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on                at                , in virtual format to consider matters relating to the Business Combination. DTRT cannot complete the Business Combination unless DTRT’s stockholders consent to the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. DTRT is sending you this proxy statement/prospectus to ask you to vote in favor of these and the other matters described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination. It also contains or references information about DTRT and New Pubco and certain related matters. You are encouraged to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, you should read the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 41 for a discussion of the risks you should consider in evaluating the Business Combination and how it will affect you.

If you have any questions or need assistance voting your common stock, please contact                  (“                ”), our proxy solicitor, by calling                 , or banks and brokers can call collect at                 , or by emailing                 . This notice of special meeting is and the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination will be available at                .

Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated                , 2022, and is first being mailed to stockholders of DTRT on or about                , 2022.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON [], 2022 ENTIRELY VIRTUALLY

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF DTRT HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the stockholders of DTRT Health Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“DTRT,” “we,” “us” or “our”), will be held virtually at                a.m., New York City time, on                , 2022. You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:

 

  (a)

Proposal No. 1  The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the agreement and plan of merger (as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated September 28, 2022, by and among DTRT, Grizzly New Pubco, Inc. (“New Pubco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (“Grizzly Merger Sub”), and Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc., a Montana corporation (“CDH”), and the transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to which the CDH Shareholders will form a Delaware corporation (“Newco”) and contribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of CDH common stock to Newco in exchange for shares of Newco common stock. Grizzly Merger Sub will merge with and into DTRT, DTRT Stockholders (as defined below) will receive shares of New Pubco common stock in exchange for their DTRT Shares, New Pubco Sponsor Warrants in exchange for their DTRT Sponsor Warrants, and New Pubco Public Warrants in exchange for their Public Warrants, and DTRT will be the surviving entity in the merger (the “First Merger”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco, and immediately following the First Merger, DTRT will convert into a limited liability company. Following the First Merger, Newco will merge with and into New Pubco, with New Pubco surviving the merger and the CDH Shareholders receiving cash and shares of New Pubco common stock (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination” and such proposal, the “Business Combination Proposal”);

 

  (b)

Proposal No. 2  The Organizational Documents Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Proposed Charter”) and the proposed amended and restated bylaws (“Proposed Bylaws” and, together with the Proposed Charter, the “Proposed Organizational Documents”) of New Pubco, which will be renamed “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.” (“CDCN”) in connection with the completion of the Business Combination (we refer to such proposal as the “Organizational Documents Proposal”);

 

  (c)

Proposal No. 3   The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals — to consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the following material differences between the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Pubco, which will be renamed “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.” (“CDCN”) in connection with the Business Combination, and DTRT’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated September 1, 2021 (“Current Charter”), and Bylaws (“Current Bylaws” and, together with the Current Charter, the “Current Organizational Documents”), which are being presented as two separate sub-proposals (we refer to such proposals as the “Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals”):

 

  (i)

Proposal A – Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal A — to authorize [ ] shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Pubco (the “New Pubco common stock”) and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Pubco (the “New Pubco preferred stock”) (“Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal A”), as compared to DTRT’s currently authorized 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “DTRT Class A common stock”), 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock” and, together with the Class A common stock, the


Table of Contents
  “DTRT Shares”), and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “DTRT preferred stock”);

 

  (ii)

Proposal B – Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal B — to authorize all other differences between the Current Organizational Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, including (1) changing the corporate name from “Grizzly New Pubco, Inc.” to “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.”, (2) making New Pubco’s corporate existence perpetual, and (3) excluding certain provisions related to DTRT’s status as a blank check company (“Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal B”);

 

  (d)

Proposal No. 4  The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal are approved and adopted, the              Grizzly New Pubco, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal”);

 

  (e)

Proposal No. 5  The ESPP Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal are approved and adopted, the              Grizzly New Pubco, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G (the “ESPP Proposal”); and

 

  (f)

Proposal No. 6  The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, any of the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal (together the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the Closing conditions under the Merger Agreement is not satisfied or waived (we refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Only holders of record of DTRT Shares at the close of business on                , 2022 are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the Special Meeting and any further adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting.

We will provide you with the proxy statement/prospectus and a proxy card in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournment of the Special Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to read, when available, the proxy statement/prospectus (and any documents incorporated into the proxy statement/prospectus by reference) carefully. Please pay particular attention to the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

After careful consideration, DTRT’s board of directors has unanimously determined that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of DTRT’s directors and officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what they may believe is in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal  Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion.

Under the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals presented at the Special Meeting is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. The adoption of each Condition


Table of Contents

Precedent Proposal is conditioned on the approval of all of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If our stockholders do not approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, the Business Combination may not be consummated. The Adjournment Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, our initial stockholders, including our sponsor, DTRT Health Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and certain of our officers and directors entered into a letter agreement to vote their shares of DTRT Class B common stock purchased prior to the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, and we also expect them to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, such persons and entities collectively own 20% of our total outstanding common stock.

Pursuant to the Current Charter, a holder of public shares (a “public stockholder”) may request that DTRT redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a public stockholder, and assuming the Business Combination is consummated, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

  (i)

(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

 

  (ii)

prior to                , New York City time, on                 , 2022, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, DTRT’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”), that DTRT redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If the Business Combination is consummated and a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of October 18, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.20 per public share. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. If a holder of a public share delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that DTRT instruct the transfer agent to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “The Special Meeting  Redemption Rights” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares.


Table of Contents

Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Subject to approval by DTRT Stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, at the Closing, all stockholders of New Pubco will hold only shares of New Pubco common stock.

All DTRT Stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting which will be held completely in virtual format. You will not be able to physically attend the Special Meeting. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record holding DTRT shares, you may also cast your vote at the Special Meeting electronically by visiting        . If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote electronically, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. Each of the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of DTRT Shares, voting as a single class. Accordingly, if you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal. Because approval of the other proposals only requires a majority of the votes cast, assuming a quorum is established at the Special Meeting, if you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have no effect on these other proposals because such action would not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

If you have any questions or need assistance voting your common stock, please contact        our proxy solicitor, by calling        , or banks and brokers can call collect at        , or by emailing         . This notice of Special Meeting is and the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination will be available at        .

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.

                , 2022

IF YOU RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD SIGNED, DATED AND WITHOUT AN INDICATION OF HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE, YOUR SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF EACH OF THE PROPOSALS. TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST (I) IF YOU HOLD SHARES OF DTRT CLASS A COMMON STOCK THROUGH UNITS, ELECT TO SEPARATE YOUR UNITS INTO THE UNDERLYING SHARES OF DTRT CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND PUBLIC WARRANTS PRIOR TO EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PUBLIC SHARES, (II) SUBMIT A WRITTEN REQUEST, INCLUDING THE LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SHARES FOR WHICH REDEMPTION IS REQUESTED, TO THE TRANSFER AGENT THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH AND (III) DELIVER YOUR SHARES OF DTRT CLASS A COMMON STOCK TO THE TRANSFER AGENT, PHYSICALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT CONSUMMATED, THEN THE PUBLIC SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS. SEE “THE SPECIAL MEETING  REDEMPTION RIGHTS” IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS FOR MORE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

The following are answers to certain questions that you may have regarding the Business Combination and the Special Meeting. DTRT urges you to read carefully the remainder of this document because the information in this section may not provide all the information that might be important to you in determining how to vote. Additional important information is also contained in the appendices to, and the documents incorporated by reference in, this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A: DTRT is proposing to consummate the Business Combination with CDH. DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub, CDH and New Pubco have entered into the Merger Agreement, the terms of which are described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. DTRT urges its stockholders to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety.

The Merger Agreement must be adopted by the DTRT Stockholders in accordance with the DGCL and DTRT’s Current Charter. DTRT is holding a Special Meeting to obtain that approval. DTRT Stockholders will also be asked to vote on certain other matters described in this proxy statement/prospectus at the Special Meeting and to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement and thereby approve the Business Combination.

THE VOTE OF DTRT STOCKHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. DTRT STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND CAREFULLY CONSIDERING EACH OF THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE MEETING.

Q: Why is DTRT proposing the Business Combination?

A: DTRT was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses.

Based on its due diligence investigations of CDH and the industries in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by CDH in the course of DTRT’s due diligence investigations, the DTRT Board believes that the Business Combination with CDH is in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and presents an opportunity to increase stockholder value. However, there can be no assurances of this.

Although the DTRT Board believes that the Business Combination with CDH presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders, the DTRT Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. See “The Business Combination Proposal  DTRT’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination” for a discussion of the factors considered by the DTRT Board in making its decision.

Q: When and where will the Special Meeting take place?

A: The DTRT Special Meeting will be held on                 , 2022,     at a.m. New York City time, entirely virtually.

In light of ongoing developments related to COVID-19, and the related protocols that governments have implemented, the DTRT Board determined that the Special Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted

The DTRT Board believes that this is the right choice for DTRT and its stockholders at this time, as it permits stockholders to attend and participate in the Special Meeting while safeguarding the health and safety of DTRT’s stockholders, directors and management team. You will be able to attend the special meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and submit your questions during the Special Meeting by visiting                 . To participate in the virtual meeting, you will need a 12-digit control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”). The meeting webcast will begin promptly at          a.m., New York City time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. Because the Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, there will be no physical location for stockholders to attend.

Q: What matters will be considered at the Special Meeting?

A: The DTRT Stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

 

   

a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Proposal”);

 

   

a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the proposed amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) and the proposed amended and restated bylaws of DTRT (the “Proposed Bylaws”) (such proposal, the “Organizational Documents Proposal”);

 

   

a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain material differences between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter (the “Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals”);

 

   

to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal are approved and adopted, the              Grizzly New Pubco, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal”);

 

   

to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal are approved and adopted, the              Grizzly New Pubco, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G (the “ESPP Proposal”); and

 

   

to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, any of the Condition Precedent Proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Merger Agreement is not satisfied or waived (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Q: Is my vote important?

A: Yes. The Business Combination cannot be completed unless the Merger Agreement is adopted by the vote of the DTRT Stockholders holding a majority of the shares outstanding on such proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals achieve the necessary vote outlined below. Only DTRT Stockholders as of the close of business on [ ], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The DTRT Board unanimously recommends that such DTRT Stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Q: If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, will my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee automatically vote those shares for me?

A: No. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker submits a proxy that states that the broker does not vote for some or all of the proposals because the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote on the proposals and does not have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of instructions. Under the relevant rules, brokers are not permitted to vote on any of the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. As a result, your public shares will not be voted on any matter unless you affirmatively instruct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares in one of the ways indicated by your broker, bank or other nominee. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q: What DTRT Stockholder vote is required for the approval of each proposal brought before the Special Meeting? What will happen if I fail to vote or abstain from voting on each proposal?

A: The Business Combination Proposal. Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding DTRT Shares entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. The percentage of outstanding shares of DTRT Class A common stock subject to these voting agreements is 20% of the voting power of DTRT. As such, if all of our outstanding shares were to be voted, we would only need the additional affirmative vote of shares representing approximately 38% of the outstanding shares in order to approve the Business Combination.

The Organizational Documents Proposal. Approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding DTRT Shares entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals. Approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal. Approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The ESPP Proposal. Approval of the ESPP Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Q: Did the DTRT Board obtain an opinion with regards to the Business Combination in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A: Yes. On September 16, 2022, DTRT retained Lincoln International LLC (“Lincoln”) to serve as an independent financial advisor to the DTRT Board, to conduct an analysis of the proposed Business Combination

Table of Contents

and to provide an opinion as to whether the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the proposed Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders. On September 27, 2022, the DTRT Board (solely in such capacity) obtained an opinion from Lincoln to the effect that, as of that date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Lincoln as set forth in its written opinion, the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Lincoln International LLC” and the opinion (as described below) attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H.

Q: What will CDH’s equity holders receive in connection with the Business Combination?

A: The aggregate value of the consideration paid in respect of CDH is currently estimated to be $527 million (but is subject to adjustment at Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and as summarized herein). CDH Shareholders will only have the right to receive consideration in the form of cash and shares of common stock of New Pubco.

At the Effective Time, each share of Newco common stock will be converted into the right to receive the applicable per share merger consideration, which will be in the form of cash and common stock of New Pubco. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of Financing satisfactory to CDH.

Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, every issued and outstanding DTRT unit will be automatically detached, to the extent the DTRT units have not already detached, and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one share of New Pubco common stock and one-half of one New Pubco warrant.

Q: Will there be new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

A: In connection with the Business Combination, CDH has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a Debt Financing Source to obtain up to $150 million in Debt Financing for the transaction. Pursuant to the letter of intent, the Debt Financing would be structured with up to $75 million in an asset-based revolving credit facility (which may, in the Debt Financing Source’s sole discretion, be upsized by $50 million), with $40 million of such amount being funded at closing of the Debt Financing, and up to $75 million, or up to 1.66x trailing twelve-months pro forma adjusted EBITDA, in a senior secured term loan facility. The proceeds of the Debt Financing will be used (a) to fund the Business Combination, (b) to fund cash to the balance sheet and refinance existing debt, (c) to fund certain tax obligations, (d) to pay fees, costs and expense associated with the Debt Financing and (e) for general working capital of CDH. The Debt Financing will, upon closing of the Debt Financing, be secured by a perfected, first-priority security interest in and lien upon all of the assets (tangible and intangible) of CDH and the proceeds thereof and a pledge of equity of CDH (subject to any applicable health care regulatory limitations).

Q: What equity stake will current DTRT Stockholders and CDH Shareholders hold in New Pubco immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

A: The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in New Pubco at the Closing, assuming no redemptions by DTRT’s public stockholders, 50% redemptions and the maximum redemptions by DTRT’s public stockholders that would still result in the consummation of the Business Combination.

Q: What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A: A total of approximately $234.6 million, after deducting approximately $4.6 million of underwriters’ discounts and commissions and an aggregate of approximately $625,000 of fees and expenses in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, was placed in a Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as Trustee. As of September 30, 2022, there were investments and cash held in the Trust Account of $235,611,623.86. These funds will not be released until the earlier of Closing or the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or any extended period of time that we may have to consummate an initial business combination as a result of an amendment to the Current Charter (an “Extension Period”), although we may withdraw the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account to pay franchise and income taxes.

Q: What happens if a substantial number of the public stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption right?

A: DTRT Stockholders who vote in favor of the Business Combination may also nevertheless exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. Nonetheless, the consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of Financing satisfactory to CDH. In addition, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for New Pubco common stock may be less liquid than the market for DTRT Class A common stock was prior to consummation of the Business Combination and New Pubco may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. In addition, with less funds available from the Trust Account, the capital infusion from the Trust Account into CDH’s business will be reduced. As a result, the proceeds will be greater in the event that no public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account as opposed to the scenario in which DTRT’s public stockholders exercise the maximum allowed redemption rights.

Q: How will the Proposed Charter differ from the Current Charter?

A: We are asking DTRT Stockholders to consider and vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain material differences between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter that will be effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Proposed Charter provides for, among other things: (i) the change of New Pubco’s name to “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.”; (ii) the increase of the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock, par value of $ 0.0001 per share, from 401,000,000 shares to [    ] shares, consisting of [    ] shares of common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and (iii) the exclusion of certain provisions specific to DTRT’s status as a blank check company. In addition, the Proposed Charter will provide for the elimination of personal liabilities of officers, except to the extent limitation of liability is not permitted under Delaware law. Pursuant to Delaware law and the Current Charter, DTRT is required to submit the Organizational Documents Proposal to DTRT’s stockholders for approval. For additional information, see the section entitled “The Organizational Documents Proposal.

Q: What material negative factors did the DTRT Board consider in connection with the Business Combination?

A: Although the DTRT Board believes that the acquisition of CDH will provide DTRT’s stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a combined company with significant growth potential in the personal care

 

6


Table of Contents

industry, the DTRT Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion, such as the risk that DTRT Stockholders would not approve the Business Combination and the risk that significant numbers of DTRT Stockholders would exercise their redemption rights. In addition, during the course of DTRT management’s evaluation of CDH’s operating business and its public company potential, management conducted detailed due diligence on certain potential challenges. Some factors that both DTRT management and the DTRT Board considered were (i) potential inability to complete the merger, (ii) potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected time frame, (iii) that the directors and officers of DTRT have potential conflicts of interest in completing an initial business combination since they will lose their entire investment in DTRT if a business combination is not completed by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, and (iv) the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin the Closing. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal  DTRT’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination,” as well as in the section entitled “Risk Factors  Risk Factors Relating to DTRT and the Business Combination.”

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

A: If you are a public stockholder, you have the right to request that DTRT redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “The Special Meeting  Redemption Rights.” Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. We sometimes refer to these rights to elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account as “redemption rights.”

If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Our Initial Stockholders entered into a Voting Letter Agreement (as defined below), pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares in connection with the completion of a business combination.

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A: If you are a public stockholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem your public shares, you must: (i) (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and (ii) prior to         p.m., New York City time, on             , 2022, (a) submit a written request to Continental that DTRT redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to Continental, physically or electronically through the DTC.

The address of Continental is listed under the question “Whom do I call if I have questions about the Special Meeting or the Business Combination?” below.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or

 

7


Table of Contents

bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental directly and instruct them to do so.

Any public stockholder will be entitled to request that their public shares be redeemed for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of October 17, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.20 per public share. Assuming a maximum redemption scenario in which 23,000,000 public shares are redeemed, such redeeming public stockholders will retain an aggregate of 11,500,000 detachable redeemable warrants, which have an aggregate value of $2.99 million based on the closing price of our detachable redeemable warrants on Nasdaq of $0.26 on October 17, 2022. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders, regardless of whether such public stockholders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the Business Combination Proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to public stockholders electing to redeem their public shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

If you are a holder of public shares, you may exercise your redemption rights by submitting your request in writing to Continental at the address listed under the question “Whom do I call if I have questions about the Special Meeting or the Business Combination?” below.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is             , 2022 (two business days prior to the date of the Special Meeting), and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Continental and later decide prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect redemption, you may request that DTRT instruct Continental to return the shares to you (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Continental at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by DTRT’s secretary prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental by         p.m., New York City time, on             , 2022.

If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in the loss of any DTRT warrants that you may hold.

Q: If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

A: No. Holders of outstanding units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact Continental, DTRT’s Transfer Agent, directly and instruct them to do so. If you fail to cause your units to be separated and delivered to Continental, DTRT’s Transfer Agent, by         p.m., New York City time, on             , 2022, you will not be able to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A: We expect that a U.S. holder (as defined below) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for its public shares will generally be treated as selling such public shares resulting in the recognition of capital gain or capital loss. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of public shares that a U.S. holder owns or is deemed to own (including through the ownership of New Pubco Warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers?

A: In the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, tax counsel to DTRT, the First Merger will qualify as tax-free reorganizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the holders of DTRT Shares will not recognize any gain or loss under the U.S. federal income tax laws as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, and neither will DTRT nor New Pubco. Each DTRT Stockholder will have the same basis in New Pubco common stock received as a result of the Mergers as that holder has in DTRT Shares held at the time the Mergers are consummated. Each holder’s holding period in New Pubco common stock received as a result of the Mergers will include the period during which such holder held DTRT Shares at the time the Mergers are consummated, provided the latter was held by such holder as a capital asset at the time of consummation of the Mergers. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the Mergers, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Q: How does the DTRT Board recommend that I vote?

A: The DTRT Board recommends that the DTRT Stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. For more information regarding how the DTRT Board recommends that DTRT Stockholders vote, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal  DTRT Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” beginning on page 112.

Q: How do our Sponsor and the other Initial Stockholders intend to vote their shares?

A: In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor, DTRT Health Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a Voting Letter Agreement (as defined below) to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, and we also expect them to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. In addition, certain other beneficial owners of DTRT Class A common stock have entered into voting agreements with DTRT, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination (and each of the other proposals to be brought at the Special Meeting). If all of our outstanding shares were to be voted, we would need the affirmative vote of approximately 38% of the remaining shares to approve the Business Combination.

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?

A: The DTRT Board has fixed             , 2022 as the record date for the Special Meeting. All holders of record of DTRT Shares as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote

at, the Special Meeting, provided that those shares remain outstanding on the date of the Special Meeting. Physical attendance at the Special Meeting is not required to vote. See the section entitled “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination and the Special Meeting  How can I vote my shares without attending the Special Meeting?” on page 11 for instructions on how to vote your DTRT Shares without attending the Special Meeting.

Q: How many votes do I have?

A: Each DTRT Stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each DTRT Share held by such holder as of the close of business on the record date. As of the close of business on the record date, there were [28,750,000] outstanding DTRT Shares.

Q: What constitutes a quorum for the Special Meeting?

A: A quorum is the minimum number of stockholders necessary to hold a valid meeting.

A quorum will exist at the Special Meeting with respect to each matter to be considered at the Special Meeting if the holders of a majority of the outstanding DTRT Shares as of the record date present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. All shares represented by proxy are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Q: What is CDH?

A: We believe CDH is a leader in the self-directed personal care industry. CDH provides in-home, personal care services through trained and screened staff (“care providers” or “providers”) to the elderly and other individuals with chronic conditions or disabilities. The care providers primarily help individuals with activities of daily living, such as housekeeping, cooking, shopping, bathing, dressing and grooming. These services allow our customers to remain safe, healthy and independent in their own homes and communities.

CDH uses a self-directed model, meaning that it allows individuals to select the care provider best suited for their individual needs and to customize the services that they receive, rather than being forced into a prescribed structure. In many situations, each client, or their authorized representative, has autonomy to select, train, schedule and dismiss their in-home caregiver. CDH supports individuals who want more choice and control over the services they receive. CDH believes this leads to significantly better client satisfaction and outcomes.

At the initiation of certain services, CDH reviews an assessment of a client’s individual needs, assists in determining if they qualify for financial assistance or payment of its services through government programs (e.g., Medicaid, Veteran’s benefits, etc.), and reviews an overall care plan to help the client meet their personal care needs. In some instances, this plan may include the provision of nursing, mental health counseling or other community support services from the appropriate third parties. CDH’s comprehensive approach unifies elements of individual and community health and support tailored to its client’s needs.

By providing services in the home to elderly individuals and others who require long-term care and support with the activities of daily living, we believe that CDH lowers health care costs by delaying, reducing or eliminating the need for care in more expensive settings. In addition, we believe CDH’s personal care providers are able to observe changes in a client’s health or well-being, and CDH’s business model is designed to facilitate needed family, medical or mental health intervention, before the client severely digresses and needs more aggressive or costly treatment or services.

CDH was founded in 1990 in Missoula, Montana, and now serves individuals across the United States, including in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington, and Washington D.C. CDH’s services are principally provided under agreements with federal, state and local government agencies, managed care organizations (“MCOs”), commercial insurers and private individuals.

Q: What will happen to my DTRT Shares as a result of the Business Combination?

A: If the Business Combination is completed, each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of DTRT will be converted into one share of common stock of New Pubco. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal  Consideration to CDH Shareholders” beginning on page 101.

Q: Where will the New Pubco common stock be publicly traded?

A: Assuming the Business Combination is completed, the shares of New Pubco common stock (including the New Pubco common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination) will be listed and traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “CDCN” and the New Pubco Public Warrants will be listed and traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “CDCNW”.

Q: What happens if the Business Combination is not completed?

A: If the Merger Agreement is not adopted by DTRT Stockholders or if DTRT is not able to amend the Current Charter and Trust Agreement to extend the date by which it must complete its initial business combination past December 7, 2022 and the Merger Agreement is subsequently terminated (including because the Business Combination is not completed by December 7, 2022), then we will seek to consummate an alternative initial business combination prior to December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period. If we do not consummate an initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, we will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem our public shares and liquidate the Trust Account, in which case our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.20 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

Q: How can I attend and vote my shares at the Special Meeting?

A: DTRT Shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record of such DTRT Shares as of the close of business on             , 2022, the record date, may be voted electronically at the Special Meeting. If you choose to attend the Special Meeting, you will need to visit [ ], and enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. You may vote during the Special Meeting by following instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to attend and vote at the Special Meeting, you will not be permitted to attend and vote electronically at the Special Meeting unless you first obtain a legal proxy issued in your name from the record owner. To request a legal proxy, please contact your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record. It is suggested you do so in a timely manner to ensure receipt of your legal proxy prior to the Special Meeting.

Q: How can I vote my shares without attending the Special Meeting?

A: If you are a stockholder of record of DTRT Shares as of the close of business on             , 2022, the record date, you can vote by mail by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card. Please note that if you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, or otherwise follow the instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee.

Q: What is a proxy?

A: A proxy is a legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. If you are a stockholder of record of DTRT Shares as of the close of business on the record date, and you vote by phone, by Internet or by signing, dating and returning your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, you designate two of DTRT’s officers as your proxies at the Special Meeting, each with full power to act without the other and with full power of substitution. These two officers are Mark Heaney and Don Klink.

Q: What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A: If your DTRT Shares are registered directly in your name with Continental you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and access to proxy materials is being provided directly to you. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, which are considered to be held in street name. Access to proxy materials is being provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares.

Direct holders (stockholders of record). For DTRT Shares held directly by you, please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card (or cast your vote by telephone or Internet as provided on each proxy card) or otherwise follow the voting instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to ensure that all of your DTRT Shares are voted.

Shares in “street name.” For DTRT Shares held in “street name” through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you should follow the procedures provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to vote your shares.

Q: If a DTRT Stockholder gives a proxy, how will the DTRT Shares covered by the proxy be voted?

A: If you provide a proxy by returning the applicable enclosed proxy card, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card will vote your DTRT Shares in the way that you indicate when providing your proxy in respect of the DTRT Shares you hold. When completing the proxy card, you may specify whether your DTRT Shares should be voted FOR or AGAINST, or should be abstained from voting on, all, some or none of the specific items of business to come before the Special Meeting.

Q: How will my DTRT Shares be voted if I return a blank proxy?

A: If you sign, date and return your proxy and do not indicate how you want your DTRT Shares to be voted, then your DTRT Shares will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Q: Can I change my vote after I have submitted my proxy?

A: Yes. If you are a stockholder of record of DTRT Shares as of the close of business on the record date, you can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting in one of the following ways:

 

   

submit a new proxy card bearing a later date;

 

   

give written notice of your revocation to DTRT’s Corporate Secretary, which notice must be received by DTRT’s Corporate Secretary prior to the vote at the Special Meeting; or

 

   

vote electronically at the Special Meeting by visiting [ ] and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. Please note that your attendance at the Special Meeting will not alone serve to revoke your proxy.

Q: Where can I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?

A: The preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the Special Meeting. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, DTRT will file the final voting results of its Special Meeting with the SEC in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Q: Are DTRT Stockholders able to exercise dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights with respect to the matters being voted upon at the Special Meeting?

A: No. DTRT Stockholders are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Business Combination. Dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights are unavailable under Delaware law in connection with the Business Combination to holders of DTRT’s Class A Common Stock because it is currently listed on a national securities exchange and such holders are not required to receive any consideration (other than continuing to hold their shares of DTRT’s Class A common stock, which will become an equal number of shares of New Pubco common stock after giving effect to the Business Combination). Holders of DTRT’s Class A common stock may vote against the Business Combination Proposal or redeem their DTRT Shares if they are not in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement or the Business Combination. Dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights are unavailable under Delaware law in connection with the Business Combination to holders of DTRT’s Class B Common Stock because they have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination.

Q: Are there any risks that I should consider as a DTRT Stockholder in deciding how to vote or whether to exercise my redemption rights?

A: Yes. You should read and carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 41. You also should read and carefully consider the risk factors of DTRT and CDH contained in the documents that are incorporated by reference herein.

Q: What happens if I sell my DTRT Shares before the Special Meeting?

A: The record date for DTRT Stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting. If you transfer your DTRT Shares before the record date, you will not be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. If you transfer your DTRT Shares after the record date but before the Special Meeting, you will, unless special arrangements are made, retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting but will transfer the right to hold New Pubco shares to the person to whom you transfer your shares.

Q: When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A: Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Closing conditions described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement  Conditions to Closing,” including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the DTRT Stockholders at the Special Meeting, the Business Combination is expected to close shortly after the Special Meeting. However, it is possible that factors outside the control of both DTRT and CDH could result in the Business Combination being completed at a later time, or not being completed at all.

Q: Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A: DTRT has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, [    ], to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. DTRT has agreed to pay [    ] a fee of $[    ]. DTRT will reimburse [    ] for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify [    ] and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. DTRT will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of our common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners.

DTRT’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Board has determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, DTRT and its stockholders. In reaching its decision with respect to the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Board reviewed various industry and financial data and the evaluation of materials provided by CDH. The DTRT Board recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The methods of review by the DTRT Board include, but were not limited to, the following:

 

   

research on comparable public companies;

 

   

research on comparable transactions within the personal care sector;

 

   

CDH’s financial statements; and

 

   

financial projections provided by CDH’s management team.

In the course of its deliberations, the DTRT Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative reasons relevant to the Business Combination, including the below:

 

   

potential inability to complete the merger;

 

   

potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected time frame;

 

   

public stockholders could vote against the deal or exercise their redemption rights;

 

   

DTRT’s management and directors may have different interests in the Business Combination than the public stockholders; and

 

   

the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin the Closing.

Opinion of Lincoln International LLC

On September 27, 2022, Lincoln International LLC (“Lincoln”) rendered its oral opinion to the DTRT Board (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Lincoln as set forth in its written opinion, the CDH Cash Consideration and the CDH Stock Consideration (together, the “Merger Consideration”) to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders (defined for purposes of Lincoln’s opinion as holders of DTRT common stock other than (i) the Sponsor, (ii) holders of DTRT common stock who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Mergers, and (iii) officers, directors or affiliates of DTRT or the Sponsor).

Lincoln’s opinion was directed to the DTRT Board (in its capacity as such) and only addressed the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Mergers, or any agreements, arrangements or understandings entered into in connection with the Mergers. The summary of Lincoln’s opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is attached as Annex H to this proxy statement/prospectus and which describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Lincoln in connection with the preparation of its opinion. Neither Lincoln’s opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to the DTRT Board, DTRT or any security holder as to how to act or vote on any matter relating to the Mergers or otherwise.

22


Table of Contents

(ii) the covenants and agreements of DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub and New Pubco will have been performed. Unless waived, if any of these conditions are not satisfied, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

Termination

Mutual Termination Rights

The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned:

 

   

by written consent of DTRT and CDH;

 

   

by DTRT or CDH if the Second Effective Time has not occurred by the Termination Date (provided that this termination right will not be available to any party whose breach of the Merger Agreement primarily causes or results in the failure of the Business Combination to be consummated by such time);

 

   

by DTRT or CDH if certain specified contracts, agreements, licenses, subcontracts, leases, subleases, concessions and purchase orders and other commitments or arrangements of CDH or its subsidiaries are not in full force and effect or if any counterparty provided notice to CDH or any of its subsidiaries that such party intends to terminate or materially amend or modify such contract of the Merger Agreement is not satisfied or capable of being satisfied;

 

   

by DTRT or CDH if there will be in effect any (1) law in any jurisdiction of competent authority or (2) governmental order issued, promulgated, made, rendered or entered into which has become final and nonappealable and permanently restrains, enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Business Combination; or

 

   

by written notice from either CDH or DTRT to the other if the required approval of DTRT Stockholders is not obtained at the Special Meeting (subject to any adjournment or recess of the Special Meeting).

Termination Rights of CDH

In addition to the above-identified mutual termination rights, the Merger Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned by CDH under certain circumstances, including:

 

   

prior to the Closing, upon five business days’ written notice to DTRT that a CDH Board Recommendation Withdrawal has occurred; or

 

   

prior to the Closing, by written notice to DTRT from CDH if there is any breach or failure to perform of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub and New Pubco set forth in the Merger Agreement, such that the conditions described in the bullet points under the heading “Conditions to Closing; Additional Conditions to the Obligations of CDH” set forth below would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “terminating DTRT breach”), except that, if any such terminating DTRT breach is curable by DTRT, then, for a period of up to 30 days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date CDH provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Termination Date) after receipt by DTRT of notice from CDH of such breach (the “DTRT cure period”), such termination will not be effective, and such termination will become effective only if the terminating DTRT breach is not cured within the DTRT cure period; provided that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement under this paragraph will not be available if CDH’s material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in the Merger Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date.

 

23


Table of Contents

Termination Rights of DTRT

In addition to the above-identified mutual termination rights, the Merger Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned by DTRT prior to the Closing, by written notice to CDH from DTRT if there is any breach or failure to perform of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of CDH set forth in the Merger Agreement, such that the conditions described in the bullet points under the heading “Conditions to Closing; Additional Conditions to the Obligations of DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub and New Pubco” set forth below would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “terminating CDH breach”), except that, if such terminating CDH breach is curable by CDH, then, for a period of up to 30 days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date DTRT provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Termination Date) after receipt by CDH of notice from DTRT of such breach (the “CDH cure period”), such termination will not be effective, and such termination will become effective only if the terminating CDH breach is not cured within the CDH cure period; provided that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement under this paragraph will not be available if DTRT’s material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in the Merger Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Current Charter, a public stockholder may request that DTRT redeem all or a portion of their public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

   

(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

 

   

prior to     p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2022, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to the Transfer Agent that DTRT redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

As noted above, holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Holders may instruct their broker to do so, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its public shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, DTRT’s Transfer Agent, DTRT will redeem such public shares upon the Closing for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to DTRT to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. See the section entitled “The Special Meeting  Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in

 

24


Table of Contents

concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Holders of our warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

No Delaware Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are statutory rights under the DGCL that enable stockholders who object to certain extraordinary transactions to demand that the corporation pay such stockholders the fair value of their shares instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. However, appraisal rights are not available in all circumstances. Appraisal rights are not available to DTRT Stockholders or warrant holders in connection with the Business Combination.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. DTRT has engaged [    ] to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares at the Special Meeting if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder also may change its vote by submitting a later- dated proxy as described in the section entitled “The Special Meeting  Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the DTRT Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that DTRT’s Initial Stockholders have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to those of DTRT Stockholders and warrant holders generally. You should be aware that the interests set forth in more detail below present a risk that the Sponsor and its affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination, including in a manner that may not be aligned with public shareholders — as such, the Sponsor may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

 

   

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period. Our Initial Stockholders purchased the Founder Shares prior to the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In addition, given the difference in the purchase price that our Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the substantial number of shares of Class A common stock that our Sponsor will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares in connection with the Business Combination, our Sponsor and its affiliates may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the common stock of the combined company trades below the price initially paid for the units in the Initial Public Offering and the public stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor could potentially recoup its entire investment, inclusive of its investment in the Founder Shares and the Sponsor Warrants, even if the trading price of the New Pubco common stock after the Closing is as low as $2.01 per share.

 

25


Table of Contents
   

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing for one share of DTRT Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, then the proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $2,990,000 based upon the closing price of $0.26 per warrant on Nasdaq on October 17, 2022.

 

   

Mr. Heaney, DTRT’s CEO and Executive Chairman, has an indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares and DTRT Sponsor Warrants purchased by the Sponsor as a result of his position as the manager of the Sponsor.

 

   

Our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment of $11,225,000 in us if we do not complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period. Certain of our officers and directors may continue to serve as officers and directors of New Pubco after the Closing. As such, in the future they will determine the compensation paid to New Pubco’s directors and officers.

 

   

Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if DTRT fails to complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period.

 

   

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

   

Following the Closing, our Sponsor will be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to DTRT and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

 

   

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

 

   

Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by DTRT from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.

The existence of financial and personal interests of the DTRT directors and officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what he or she may believe is best for DTRT and what he or she may believe is best for him or her in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “The Business Combination Proposal  Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of this and other risks.

Accounting Treatment

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DTRT is treated as the acquired company and CDH is treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. CDH has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances that are expected to be in place following the consummation of the Business Combination: (i) CDH’s existing shareholders will have the greater voting interest

 

27


Table of Contents

in New Pubco under both the No Redemptions and Full Redemption Scenarios as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination; (ii) by virtue of such estimated voting interest upon the consummation of the Business Combination, CDH’s existing shareholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding the election and removal of directors and officers of New Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination; (iii) CDH’s senior management will be the senior management of New Pubco; and (iv) the majority of the members of the New Pubco Board will be appointed by CDH.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of CDH, with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of CDH issuing stock for the net assets of DTRT, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Summary of Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, a DTRT Stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Some of the risks related CDH’s business and industry are summarized below. References in the summary below to “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” generally refer to CDH in the present tense or New Pubco from and after the Business Combination.

Risks Relating to DTRT and the Business Combination

 

   

Directors and officers of DTRT have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

   

Our stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Pubco common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and may experience significant additional dilution following the Business Combination.

 

   

New Pubco’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

   

The ability of DTRT Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that stockholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their stock.

 

   

Unless an extension of the completion window is sought, if DTRT is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, DTRT will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, dissolving and liquidating.

 

   

Some provisions of the Proposed Charter and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of New Pubco by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to New Pubco’s stockholders, and may prevent attempts by New Pubco’s stockholders to replace or remove New Pubco’s current management.

 

   

The concentration of ownership of New Pubco common stock by the three CDH Shareholders after the Business Combination will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

 

   

The CDH Board could withdraw its recommendation to the CDH Shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Closing if the CDH Board determines such withdrawal is in the best interest of the CDH Shareholders.

Table of Contents

Risks Relating to CDH’s Business and Operations and to New Pubco’s Business and Operations Following the Business Combination

 

   

We may be more vulnerable to the effects of a public health emergency than other businesses due to the nature of our consumers and the physical proximity required by our operations.

 

   

Our industry is highly competitive, fragmented and market-specific and we may be unable to compete effectively against our current and future competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business, and prospects.

 

   

If we are unable to maintain relationships with existing patient referral sources, our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

 

   

Our business may be harmed by labor relations matters.

 

   

Our revenues are concentrated in a small number of states which makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory and economic changes in those states.

 

   

Our payor contracts, including those with organizations that represent a significant portion of our business, are subject to renegotiation or termination which could result in a decrease in our revenue and profits.

 

   

There is an inherent risk of liability in the provision of healthcare services; damage to our reputation or our failure to adequately insure against losses, including from substantial claims and litigation, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

 

   

Any economic downturn, deepening of an economic downturn, continued deficit spending by the federal government or state budget pressures may result in a reduction in payments and covered services.

Risks Related to New Pubco’s Capital Requirements and Capital Structure

 

   

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from growing.

Risks Related to Tax Matters

 

   

We may be subject to the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the event of a liquidation or in connection with redemptions of our stock after December 31, 2022.

 

   

If the First Merger does not qualify as tax-free reorganization under the Code, DTRT Stockholders may incur a substantially greater U.S. income tax liability as a result of the First Merger.

Risks Related to Laws and Regulations

 

   

If we fail to comply with governmental regulations, we could face penalties, liabilities, or reputational harm and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

   

The personal care services industry may be perceived by consumers or regulators as being subject to a higher risk of fraud than care that is provided in traditional care settings.

 

   

If any of our personal care agencies fail to comply with the conditions of participation in the Medicaid program, that agency could be terminated from Medicaid, which could adversely affect financial results.

 

   

Our use, disclosure, and other processing of PII and PHI is subject to HIPAA and other federal, state, and foreign privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm.

 

29


Table of Contents
   

Evolving government regulations may require increased costs or adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

   

Reductions in reimbursement and other changes to Medicaid, and other federal, state and local medical and social programs could adversely affect our consumer caseload, units of service, revenues, gross profit and profitability.

 

   

The implementation of alternative payment models and the transition of Medicaid beneficiaries to managed care organizations may limit our market share and could adversely affect our revenues.

 

   

The industry trend toward value-based purchasing may negatively impact our revenues.

Risks Related to Technology and Data Privacy

 

   

Security breaches, cyberattacks, malware, viruses, corruptants, loss of data, system malfunctions and other disruptions could compromise the information technology systems used by and on behalf of us, as well as confidential or proprietary information related to our business, employees, partners, or customers, or prevent us from accessing information that is important to our business, any of which could expose us to liability and adversely affect our business and our reputation.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

 

   

Intellectual property disputes, including allegations that we or our licensors infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third party intellectual property rights, or third parties infringing, misappropriating, violating or challenging our or our licensors’ intellectual property rights, could result in costly litigation, limit our ability to offer our services and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Future Growth

 

   

Our growth strategy depends on our ability to manage growing and effectively integrating operations and we may not be successful in managing this growth.

 

   

We may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may indicate growth.

 

   

The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included herein may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business may not grow at similar rates, or at all.

Risks Related to CDH Becoming a Public Company

 

   

We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies.

 

   

Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.

 

   

We may in the future identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and any such material weakness could adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

General Risk Factors Relating to New Pubco

 

   

We will need to improve our financial and operational systems in order to manage our growth effectively and support our increasingly complex business arrangements, and an inability to do so could harm our business and results of operations.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of New Pubco’s financial statements with those of another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the Closing of DTRT’s Initial Public Offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $250.0 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100.0 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30.

Material U.S. Tax Consequences of the Mergers and Exercise of Redemption Rights

In the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, tax counsel to DTRT, the First Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the holders of DTRT Shares will not recognize any gain or loss under the U.S. federal income tax laws as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, and neither will DTRT nor New Pubco. Each DTRT Stockholder will have the same basis in New Pubco common stock received as a result of the Mergers as that holder has in DTRT Shares held at the time the Mergers are consummated. Each holder’s holding period in New Pubco common stock received as a result of the Mergers will include the period during which such holder held DTRT Shares at the time the Mergers are consummated, provided the latter was held by such holder as a capital asset at the time of consummation of the Mergers. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the Mergers, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance which is derived from our consolidated financial information but which is not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this proxy statement/prospectus because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for: (i) interest expense, net; (ii) income tax expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iv) amortization of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs; (v) amortization of contract fulfillment costs; (vi) PPP loan forgiveness; (vii) Provider relief funds; and (viii) ARPA funds.

We use this non-GAAP financial measure to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period. Moreover, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, and provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. In calculating this financial measure, we make certain adjustments that are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to have been inaccurate. In addition, in evaluating this financial measure, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There are limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. For example, Adjusted EBITDA as used herein may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of such measure for comparative purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We rely primarily on our GAAP results and use this non-GAAP measure only supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to exclude the impact of material infrequent items. It is reasonable to expect that these items could occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business, and may complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA

Table of Contents

includes adjustments for other items that we do not expect to regularly record following this transaction. Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered as an indicator of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP. As such, Adjusted EBITDA should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented below. We encourage you to review the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items.

The tables below provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma combined financial information (the “summary pro forma data”) presents the combination of the financial information of DTRT and CDH, adjusted to give effect to the consummation of the Business Combination. Under both the no redemptions and the full redemption scenario, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DTRT will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of CDH issuing stock for the net assets of DTRT, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DTRT will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of June 30, 2022 gives effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on June 30, 2022. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 give effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021.

The summary pro forma data have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “pro forma financial statements”) of DTRT appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements. The pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements and related notes of DTRT and CDH for the applicable periods included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary pro forma data have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what CDH’s and DTRT’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma data do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of New Pubco.

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below:

 

   

No Redemptions: This scenario assumes no shares of DTRT Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are redeemed.

 

   

Full Redemption: This scenario assumes a full redemption scenario, in which 23,000,000 shares of DTRT Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $234.6 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.20 per share). In a full redemption scenario, the CDH Cash Consideration will be sourced from the closing date consolidated balance sheet, Debt Financing or an alternative source of financing.

RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to DTRT and the Business Combination

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of DTRT prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to the business of New Pubco and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination. We have identified the following risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained in this proxy statement prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Directors and officers of DTRT have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

When considering the DTRT Board’s recommendation that its stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination, DTRT Stockholders should be aware that directors and officers of DTRT have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of DTRT Stockholders. These interests include:

 

   

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period. Our Initial Stockholders purchased the Founder Shares prior to the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In addition, given the difference in the purchase price that our Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the substantial number of shares of Class A common stock that our Sponsor will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares in connection with the Business Combination, our Sponsor and its affiliates may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the common stock of the combined company trades below the price initially paid for the units in the Initial Public Offering and the public stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor could potentially recoup its entire investment, inclusive of its investment in the Founder Shares and the Sponsor Warrants, even if the trading price of the New Pubco common stock after the Closing is as low as $2.01 per share.

 

   

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing for one share of DTRT Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, then the proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $2,990,000 based upon the closing price of $0.26 per warrant on Nasdaq on October 17, 2022.

Table of Contents
   

Mr. Heaney, DTRT’s CEO and Executive Chairman, has an indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares and DTRT Sponsor Warrants purchased by the Sponsor as a result of his position as the manager of the Sponsor.

 

   

Our independent directors, Ms. Martin, Ms. Mehta and Ms. Christopher, each have indirect economic interest in 50,000 Founder Shares purchased by the Sponsor as a result of their service on the Board. In addition, the three independent directors indirectly purchased, through their investment in the Sponsor, 83,333, 16,667 and 66,667 Founder Shares, respectively. Ms. Mehta is anticipated to be a director of New Pubco following the Business Combination.

 

   

Our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment of $11,225,000 in us if we do not complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period. Certain of our officers and directors may continue to serve as officers and directors of New Pubco after the Closing. As such, in the future they will determine the compensation paid to New Pubco’s directors and officers.

 

   

Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if DTRT fails to complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period.

 

   

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

   

Following the Closing, our Sponsor will be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to DTRT and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

 

   

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

 

   

Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by DTRT from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.

The foregoing interests, and those set forth in more detail below, present a risk that the Sponsor and its affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination, including in a manner that may not be aligned with public shareholders — as such, the Sponsor may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. You should consider these interests when evaluating the Business Combination and the recommendation of the DTRT Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals to be presented to the DTRT Stockholders.

Our Public Warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities with changes in fair value each period included in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our DTRT Class A common stock or may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.

We account for the Public Warrants as derivative warrant liabilities. At each reporting period (1) the accounting treatment of the Public Warrants will be re-evaluated for proper accounting treatment as a liability or

 

42


Table of Contents

equity and (2) the fair value of the liability of the Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants will be remeasured and the change in the fair value of the liability will be recorded as other income (expense) in our income statement. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the DTRT Class A common stock. In addition, potential targets may seek a special purpose acquisition company that does not have warrants that are accounted for as a warrant liability, which may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination with a target business.

DTRT’s Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.

Our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor and certain of our officers and directors entered into a letter agreement to vote their shares of DTRT Class B common stock purchased prior to the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, and we also expect them to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. The Initial Stockholders own 20% of our outstanding shares prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval for the Business Combination will be received than would be the case if our Initial Stockholders had agreed to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public stockholders.

The Sponsor is liable to ensure that proceeds of the Trust Account are not reduced by vendor claims in the event a business combination is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced our decision to approve the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination or another business combination are not consummated by DTRT within the completion window, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by DTRT for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to DTRT. If DTRT consummates a business combination, including the Business Combination, on the other hand, DTRT will be liable for all such claims. Neither DTRT nor the Sponsor has any reason to believe that the Sponsor will not be able to fulfill its indemnity obligations to DTRT. Please see the section entitled “Business of DTRT  Liquidation if No Business Combination” for further information.

These obligations of the Sponsor may have influenced our decision to approve the Business Combination and to continue to pursue such Business Combination. Mr. Heaney, DTRT’s CEO and Executive Chairman, has an indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares and Sponsor Warrants purchased by the Sponsor as a result of his position as the manager of the Sponsor. In considering the recommendations of the DTRT Board to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, the DTRT Stockholders should consider these interests.

Warrants will become exercisable for New Pubco common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

Following the Business Combination, there will be 11,500,000 outstanding New Pubco Public Warrants to purchase 11,500,000 shares of New Pubco common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, which warrants will become exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing. In addition, there will be 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants outstanding exercisable for 11,200,000 shares of New Pubco common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of New Pubco common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of New Pubco common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of New Pubco common stock, the impact of which is increased as the value of our stock price increases.

Table of Contents

We may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of such warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of the Public Warrants could be increased, the Public Warrants could be converted into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of New Pubco common stock purchasable upon exercise of a Public Warrant could be decreased, all without any particular Public Warrantholder’s approval.

Our Public Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the Public Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity, mistake or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of such warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the Sponsor Warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the Sponsor Warrants, 50% of the number of the then outstanding Sponsor Warrants. Although our ability to amend the terms of the Public Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of New Pubco common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

DTRT will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of New Pubco common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we give notice of redemption. If and when the warrants become redeemable by New Pubco, New Pubco may exercise the redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force holders to (i) exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (ii) sell the warrants at the then-current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold onto such warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. None of the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, provided that, if the closing price of the New Pubco common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which New Pubco sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like), the Sponsor Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants.

In addition, New Pubco may redeem your warrants after they become exercisable for a number of shares of New Pubco common stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of New Pubco common stock. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of our common stock had your warrants remained outstanding.

While DTRT’s stock has not exceeded the $18.00 per share threshold at which Public Warrants would become redeemable since the announcement of the Business Combination, there is no assurance that the price of New Pubco common stock will not exceed the threshold. In the event the Company determined to redeem the

 

44


Table of Contents

Public Warrants, holders of our redeemable warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in our warrant agreement. Specifically, in the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, the Company will fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holders of the redeemable warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner provided in the warrant agreement will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via the Company’s posting of the redemption notice to DTC.

Even if we consummate the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the outstanding warrants is $11.50 per share of New Pubco common stock. There can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

Our stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Pubco common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and may experience significant additional dilution following the Business Combination.

Assuming that no public stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and based on the issuance of 51,559,261 shares of Newco common stock to the CDH Shareholders, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, DTRT’s Initial Stockholders and public stockholders will hold 28,750,000 shares of New Pubco common stock, or 35% of the outstanding common stock. Assuming that our public stockholders holding 23,000,000 public shares exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, DTRT’s Initial Stockholders will hold 5,750,000 shares of New Pubco common stock, or 10% of the outstanding common stock. To the extent that New Pubco issues additional shares of New Pubco common stock to the CDH Shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, these percentages will be decreased.

There are currently outstanding an aggregate of 22,700,000 warrants to acquire DTRT Class A common stock, which consist of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants held by DTRT’s Initial Stockholders at the time of DTRT’s Initial Public Offering and 11,500,000 Public Warrants. Each of DTRT’s outstanding whole warrants is exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing for one share of DTRT Class A common stock in accordance with its terms. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, if we assume that each outstanding whole warrant is exercised and one share of DTRT Class A common stock is issued as a result of such exercise, with payment of the exercise price of $11.50 per share, our fully-diluted share capital would increase by a total of 22,700,000 shares, with approximately $261.1 million paid to us to exercise the warrants. There are also 6,459,141 in a no redemption scenario; 5,539,141 in a 50% redemption scenario and 4,619,141 in a maximum redemption scenario shares of New Pubco common stock that will be available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, and 2,422,178 in a no redemption scenario; 2,077,178 in a 50% redemption scenario and 1,732,178 in a maximum redemption scenario shares of New Pubco common stock that will be available for issuance under the ESPP.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although DTRT has conducted due diligence on CDH, DTRT cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in its business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues

 

45


Table of Contents

through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of DTRT’s or CDH’s control will not later arise. As a result, New Pubco may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if the due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that New Pubco reports changes of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New Pubco or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause New Pubco to violate net worth or other covenants to which it may be subject. Accordingly, any DTRT Stockholder who chooses to remain a stockholder of New Pubco following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by DTRT’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of DTRT’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of DTRT’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which DTRT Stockholders vote on the Business Combination. Because the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement is based on the per share value of the amount in the Trust Account and will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market price of DTRT’s Class A common stock, the market value of New Pubco common stock issued in the Business Combination may be higher or lower than the values of these shares on earlier dates.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of New Pubco’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for the stock of New Pubco and trading in the shares of DTRT’s Class A common stock has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to New Pubco in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of New Pubco securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and New Pubco securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of New Pubco’s securities may include:

 

   

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

 

   

changes in the market’s expectations about New Pubco’s operating results;

 

   

success of competitors;

 

   

operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

 

   

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New Pubco or the industry in which New Pubco operates in general;

 

   

operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New Pubco;

 

46


Table of Contents
   

ability to market new and enhanced products and services on a timely basis;

 

   

revenue concentration compared to companies that investors deem comparable to New Pubco;

 

   

changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

 

   

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation or investigations involving New Pubco;

 

   

changes in New Pubco’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

 

   

the volume of shares of New Pubco common stock available for public sale;

 

   

any major change in the New Pubco Board or management;

 

   

sales of substantial amounts of New Pubco common stock by our or New Pubco’s directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

 

   

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, acts of war or terrorism and infectious diseases, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and variants thereof.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq specifically, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your securities at or above the price at which it was acquired. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New Pubco could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

New Pubco’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only, is based on certain assumptions, addresses hypothetical situations and reflects limited statistical and financial data. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what New Pubco’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

There can be no assurance that New Pubco common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq following the Closing, or that New Pubco will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

New Pubco common stock and New Pubco Public Warrants are expected to be listed on Nasdaq following the Business Combination. New Pubco’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of our shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists New Pubco common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

 

   

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

 

   

a determination that New Pubco common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in New Pubco common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New Pubco common stock;

 

47


Table of Contents
   

a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

 

   

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Accordingly, New Pubco’s business, assets, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated by the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the funds held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.20 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If our stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of our Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Holders of public shares are not required to affirmatively vote against the Business Combination Proposal in order to exercise their rights to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In order to exercise their redemption rights, they are required to submit a request in writing and deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to our Transfer Agent by                 , New York City time, on                 , 2022. Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination.

The ability of DTRT Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that stockholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their stock.

Although CDH has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a Debt Financing Source to obtain $150 million in Debt Financing for the transaction, at the time we entered into the Merger Agreement and related agreements for the Business Combination, we did not know how many stockholders would exercise their redemption rights, and therefore we structured the Business Combination based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected and/or CDH is unable to consummate the debt financing arrangements contemplated by the letter of intent with the Debt Financing Source and/or the cash available on the closing date consolidated balance sheet is less than anticipated, we may need to seek financing from other sources. The receipt of Financing satisfactory to CDH is a condition to CDH’s obligation to close. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the Business Combination or optimize our capital structure.

There is no assurance that there will be a definitive agreement with respect to Debt Financing on the terms described in the letter of intent, or at all. Even if we successfully obtain Debt Financing, it may contain covenants that may restrict our ability to operate our business and secure further financing.

There is no assurance that there will be a definitive agreement with respect to Debt Financing on the terms described in the letter of intent, or at all. Even if we successfully obtain Debt Financing, it may contain various affirmative and negative covenants that may, subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability to incur debt or other financing, issue liens on our property, merge or consolidate with any other person or sell assets above a specified minimum threshold to any one person, and engage in sale-and-leaseback transactions depending on the characterization of the proceeds. Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could accelerate our repayment obligations and could result in a default and acceleration under other agreements containing cross-default provisions. Furthermore, obtaining the Debt Financing may result in the imposition of a lien on all or substantially all of CDH’s corporate assets, which could restrict our operating and financial flexibility.

We may be subject to the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the event of a liquidation or in connection with redemptions of our stock after December 31, 2022.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “IRA”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities are traded on Nasdaq, we will be a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IRA. While not free from doubt, absent any applicable further guidance, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of our stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial business combination, unless an exemption is available. Issuances of securities in connection with our initial business combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of our initial business combination) are expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year, but the number of securities redeemed may exceed the number of securities issued. Consequently, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation is uncertain.

DTRT’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in DTRT’s stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require DTRT to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by CDH or to waive

 

49


Table of Contents

rights that DTRT is entitled to under, or conditions of, the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of CDH’s business, a request by CDH to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on CDH’s business and would entitle DTRT to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at DTRT’s discretion, acting through the DTRT Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights or conditions. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he, she or they may believe is best for DTRT and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, DTRT does not believe there will be any material changes or waivers that DTRT’s directors and officers would be likely to make after the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, DTRT will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus or supplement thereto if changes to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Unless an extension of the completion window is sought, if DTRT is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, DTRT will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against DTRT and, as a result, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.20 per share.

Under the terms of DTRT’s Current Charter, DTRT must complete a business combination before the end of the completion window, or DTRT must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against DTRT. Although DTRT has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the Trust Account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of DTRT’s public stockholders. If DTRT is unable to complete a business combination within the completion window, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to DTRT if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.20 per public share or (2) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes owed by DTRT as a result of assets of DTRT or interest or other income earned on the funds in the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company and, therefore, Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete

 

50


Table of Contents

our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Additionally, if DTRT is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, or if DTRT otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, DTRT may not be able to return to its public stockholders at least $10.20 per share.

DTRT’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against DTRT to the extent of distributions received by them.

If DTRT is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination within the completion window, DTRT will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public stockholders may receive only $10.20 per share, or less than $10.20 per share, on the redemption of their shares, and our warrants will expire worthless. See “Unless an extension of the completion window is sought, if DTRT is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, DTRT will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against DTRT and, as a result, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.20 per share.

DTRT cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against DTRT. As such, DTRT’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, DTRT cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its stockholders amounts owed to them by DTRT.

If DTRT is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by DTRT’s stockholders. Furthermore, because DTRT intends to distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to its public stockholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, the DTRT Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to DTRT’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and DTRT to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. DTRT cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

DTRT and CDH have incurred and expect to incur significant costs associated with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by DTRT if the Business Combination is not completed.

DTRT and CDH expect to incur significant transaction and transition costs associated with the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the Closing. DTRT and CDH may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by New Pubco following the Closing. As disclosed in Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, expected transaction costs in consummating the Business Combination and related transactions are approximately $56.7 million, approximately $28.1 million of which are attributable to DTRT and approximately $28.7 million of which are attributable to CDH. Even if the Business Combination is not completed, DTRT expects to incur approximately $962,000 in expenses. These expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by DTRT if the Business Combination is not completed.

If DTRT’s due diligence investigation of the CDH business was inadequate, then stockholders of DTRT following the Business Combination could lose some or all of their investment.

Even though DTRT and its advisors conducted a due diligence investigation of the CDH business, DTRT cannot be sure that this diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present inside the CDH business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of the CDH business and outside of its control will not later arise. If DTRT’s due diligence investigation of the CDH business was inadequate, then the performance of New Pubco following the Closing could suffer and stockholders could lose some or all of their investment.

There are risks to our public stockholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor of becoming stockholders of New Pubco through the Business Combination rather than through an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter.

Our stockholders should be aware that there are risks associated with CDH becoming publicly traded through the Business Combination with DTRT (a special purpose acquisition company) instead of through an underwritten offering, including that investors will not receive the benefit of any independent review of CDH’s finances and operations, including its projections.

Underwritten public offerings of securities are subject to a due diligence review of the issuer by the underwriters to satisfy duties under the Securities Act, the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) and the rules of the national securities exchange on which such securities will be listed. Additionally, underwriters conducting such public offerings are subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering and undertake a due diligence review process in order to establish a due diligence defense against liability for claims under the federal securities laws. Our stockholders must rely on the information in this proxy statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type typically performed by underwriters in a public securities offering. While sponsors, private investors and management in a business combination undertake financial, legal and other due diligence, it is not necessarily the same review or analysis that would be undertaken by underwriters in an underwritten public offering and, therefore, there could be a heightened risk of an incorrect valuation of the business or material misstatements or omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result of these factors, New Pubco may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in reporting losses. Even if DTRT’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with DTRT’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on New Pubco’s liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New Pubco or its securities.

There could also be more volatility in the near-term trading of New Pubco common stock following the consummation of the Business Combination as compared to an underwritten public offering of its common stock, including as a result of the lack of a lock-up agreement between any underwriter and certain investors. The sale

or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the market price of New Pubco common stock or lead to declines in the market price of New Pubco common stock, as compared to an underwritten public offering.

The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions. The completion of the Business Combination is not assured and is subject to risks, including the risk that approval of the Business Combination by DTRT Stockholders is not obtained or that there are not sufficient funds in the Trust Account, in each case subject to certain terms specified in the Merger Agreement (as described under “The Merger Agreement  Conditions to Closing”), or that other Closing conditions are not satisfied. If DTRT does not complete the Business Combination, DTRT could be subject to several risks, including:

 

   

the parties may be liable for damages to one another under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;

 

   

negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of our Class A common stock due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed; and

 

   

the attention of our management will have been diverted to the Business Combination rather than the pursuit of other opportunities in respect of an initial business combination.

Some provisions of the Proposed Charter and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of New Pubco by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to New Pubco’s stockholders, and may prevent attempts by New Pubco’s stockholders to replace or remove New Pubco’s current management.

Provisions in the Proposed Charter, as well as provisions of the DGCL, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire New Pubco or increase the cost of acquiring New Pubco, even if doing so would benefit New Pubco’s stockholders, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions include:

 

   

the New Pubco Board is classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms, and directors are only able to be removed from office for cause;

 

   

nothing in the Proposed Charter precludes future issuances without stockholder approval of the authorized but unissued shares of New Pubco common stock;

 

   

advance notice procedures apply for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders;

 

   

no provision in the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws provides for cumulative voting, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

 

   

the Proposed Bylaws will provide that the affirmative vote of a majority of the of the shares voted and entitled to vote of New Pubco, voting as a single class, is required for stockholders to amend or adopt any provision of New Pubco’s bylaws;

 

   

the Proposed Charter authorizes undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued, without the approval of the holders of New Pubco common stock; and

 

   

certain litigation against New Pubco can only be brought in Delaware.

 

53


Table of Contents

The Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by New Pubco’s stockholders, which could limit New Pubco’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Pubco.

The Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless New Pubco consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any appellate court thereof will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on New Pubco’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of or claim based on, breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any of its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders to New Pubco or its stockholders (iii) any action asserting a claim against New Pubco or any of its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders arising under the DGCL, the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of New Pubco’s Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws or (v) any action asserting a claim related to or involving New Pubco that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Additionally, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Unless New Pubco consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws will provide that the federal district courts of the United States will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act; however, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. The Proposed Charter will provide that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

These provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against New Pubco’s directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against us, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

DTRT’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.”

As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $160,000 in our operating bank account and working capital of approximately $530,000. Further, DTRT incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of DTRT.” DTRT cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about DTRT’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from DTRT’s inability to continue as a going concern.

The underwriters have a potential conflict of interest regarding the Business Combination.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”) were underwriters in DTRT’s Initial Public Offering, and, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering are entitled to $8.1 million of deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters of

 

54


Table of Contents

DTRT have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event DTRT does not complete an initial business combination within 15 months of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, if the Business Combination, or any other initial business combination, is not consummated by that time and DTRT is therefore required to be liquidated, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering will not receive any of the deferred underwriting commission and such funds will be returned to DTRT’s public stockholders upon its liquidation.

In addition, under the terms of engagement for Cantor and Odeon, DTRT agreed to reimburse Cantor and Odeon for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its outside attorneys, and to indemnify Cantor and Odeon and certain related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, in each case, in connection with, as a result of, or relating to its engagement.

Cantor and Odeon therefore have an interest in DTRT completing a business combination that will result in the payment of the deferred underwriting commission to the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering. In considering approval of the Business Combination, DTRT Stockholders should consider the role of Cantor and Odeon in light of the deferred underwriting commission they are entitled to receive if the Business Combination is consummated within 15 months of the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

The concentration of ownership of New Pubco common stock by the three CDH Shareholders after the Business Combination will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, we anticipate that William Woody, Bruce Kramer and Greer Woody will collectively initially own between 64% and 89% of New Pubco common stock, depending on the level of redemptions by DTRT’s public stockholders. Consequently, they will continue to have substantial control over all matters that require approval by the New Pubco stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership will limit your ability to influence corporate matters of New Pubco and, as a result, actions may be taken that you may not view as beneficial.

The CDH Board could withdraw its recommendation to the CDH Shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Closing if the CDH Board determines that such withdrawal is in the best interest of the CDH Shareholders.

CDH agreed to obtain, and has obtained, approval of the adoption of the Merger Agreement (the “CDH Approval”) by holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of CDH common stock (the “CDH Shareholders”) via written consent. CDH agreed, through the CDH Board, to recommend to the CDH Shareholders that they adopt the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the fact that the CDH Approval has been obtained, the recommendation by the CDH Board to adopt the Merger Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, be withdrawn in the event that the CDH Board determines, in its sole discretion (and taking into account only the interests of the CDH Shareholders (taken as a whole)), that such CDH Board Recommendation Withdrawal is in the best interest of the CDH Shareholders.

Risks Relating to CDH’s Business and Operations and to New Pubco’s Business and Operations Following the Business Combination

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of CDH and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to the business of New Pubco and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination. The following risk factors will apply to CDH’s business and operations following the completion of the Business Combination. The risks described below are not the only risks CDH faces or that New Pubco may face. Additional risks that are presently unknown or that are currently believed not to be material may also significantly affect CDH’s or New Pubco’s business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including CDH’s consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect our operations, business and financial condition, and our liquidity could also be negatively impacted, particularly if the U.S. economic or public health conditions deteriorate in connection with the pandemic.

COVID-19 continues to be widespread throughout the United States and other parts of the world and continues to affect the overall economic conditions in the United States. In response to the emergence of new variants and increased cases, various governmental authorities and private businesses imposed certain measures intended to contain the spread of the virus, such as masking and vaccine mandates, and it is possible that such measures will be re-imposed in the future. At this time, it is difficult to predict the future impact of the pandemic on economic conditions in the United States and our business.

Our in-home personal care providers (“providers” or “care providers”) have experienced difficulty because of concerns about the spread of COVID-19, and we expect that these concerns will be ongoing. For example, our providers have at times had difficulty with supply chain constraints when ordering PPE and have had to implement new policies and procedures for the provision of care. As front-line providers of personal care services, our employees and care providers who contract COVID-19 may be unable to continue to perform their duties, and we could face litigation if our consumers contract COVID-19 while service providers perform their duties. Although we have not faced litigation resulting from the foregoing situation, we have experienced periods during which care providers who contracted COVID-19 were not able to continue to perform their duties. In addition, we have incurred and will continue to incur additional costs related to protecting the health and well-being, and meeting the needs, of our clients, employees, and care providers as we implement operational changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staffing shortages may impact our ability to provide services to consumers. While self-directed care tends to be less affected by staffing shortages – because many providers are identified by a client through the client’s existing community contacts and often involve a pre-existing personal relationship – staffing shortages are still a reality of our business. Further, our financial condition has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, we have experienced decreases in the number of hours of services provided (in part because of staffing shortages), which has resulted in loss of revenue; increases in the costs of providing certain equipment, including PPE; and other costs associated with remediation efforts. The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including the severity and transmission rate of prevalent strains of COVID-19, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions taken, the timing, availability and effectiveness of medical treatments, vaccines and booster shots, and the impact of any mutations of the virus.

If general economic conditions or public health conditions deteriorate, our liquidity and ability to repay our outstanding debt may be harmed. The current recessionary trends, inflation and rising interest rates may have an impact on our business. The COVID-19 pandemic has previously caused disruption in the financial markets and the businesses of financial institutions and may do so again, potentially causing a slowdown in the decision-making of these institutions. This may affect timing for obtaining any additional funding and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all. A portion of our revenues depends on government funding, in particular from individual states, and, depending on the severity and length of any potential economic downturn, states could face significant fiscal challenges that could force them to revise their revenue forecasts and adjust their budgets, and sales tax collections and income tax withholdings could be depressed in fiscal year 2022, and, potentially, future fiscal years. We cannot determine the impact that COVID-19 may have on states’ budgets for 2023 or beyond, or if additional federal stimulus measures will be provided. However, such impacts could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Due to the widespread availability of vaccinations and other factors, various restrictions that previously limited non-essential employment opportunities in most states in which we operate have been lifted and we have been able to resume all of our operations. As the labor market continues to be tight and unemployment has declined in comparison to earlier levels, the competition for care providers has increased significantly, which will

 

56


Table of Contents

continue to impact our ability to attract and retain qualified providers. We compete with personal care service provider agencies, private caregivers, larger publicly held companies, privately held companies, privately held single-site agencies, hospital-based agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and community-based organizations, among other organizations, for care providers. If we are unable to retain qualified care providers to meet the needs of our client base, we may not be able to meet the demand for care, which could negatively impact our brand reputation and negatively affect our operations and financial results.

We encourage but do not mandate vaccination. A small number of our entities (i.e., those located in the District of Columbia, New Mexico and Washington State) were affected by state vaccine or testing mandates. As contractors with state government agencies, the mandates applied to some administrative staff in these locations. Each mandate has unique eligibility, exemption and expectation requirements where non-compliance could result in fines or other penalties. Of these locations, the mandates in the District of Columbia and Washington State are still in effect, whereas the New Mexico mandate was lifted in the fall of 2022. We continue to monitor these mandates to ensure our compliance.

Additionally, as we expand into new states, we may be subject to additional state vaccine mandates, and we may become subject to existing state vaccine mandates due to changes in law and regulation, or the result of an executive or agency order. Compliance with such mandates may be difficult due to differing requirements imposed by numerous authorities. Additionally, these vaccine mandates could result in the loss of personnel who are unvaccinated, which could adversely affect us.

The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in an adverse effect on our business, result of operations, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and our ability to service our indebtedness. Due to the unprecedented and constantly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact or that of a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change.

We may be more vulnerable to the effects of a public health emergency than other businesses due to the nature of our consumers and the physical proximity required by our operations.

The majority of our consumers are older or immunocompromised individuals, many of whom may be more vulnerable than the general public during a pandemic or in a public health emergency due to complex medical conditions or other socioeconomic factors. Our providers are also at greater risk of contracting contagious diseases due to their increased exposure to vulnerable consumers and the physical proximity required to perform our personal care services. Due to the physical proximity required to offer many of our personal care services, our providers could have difficulty attending to our consumers if social distancing policies or quarantines are instituted in response to a public health emergency, and we may experience difficulties hiring and retaining employees. The ability of our providers to perform their duties was significantly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic because of social distancing and quarantine policies, among others. We may face similar restrictions on the ability of our providers to perform their duties in the event of a future public health emergency. In addition, we may impose existing internal policies in response to any such public health emergency that may also impact our providers’ ability to perform all of the services they would normally provide. If another pandemic were to occur, or the existing COVID-19 pandemic worsens, we could again suffer significant losses to our consumer population or a reduction in the availability of our providers. The extent to which a new public health emergency may impact our results of operations in the longer term is uncertain. Accordingly, certain public health emergencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our industry is highly competitive, fragmented and market-specific and we may be unable to compete effectively against our current and future competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business, and prospects.

The market for our services is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and fragmented. We compete with personal care service providers, hospice providers, home health providers, private caregivers, larger publicly held

Table of Contents

companies, privately held companies, privately held single-site agencies, hospital-based agencies, not-for-profit organizations, community-based organizations and other self-directed care programs and in many states there are limited barriers to entry for other competitors who would seek to enter those markets. Some of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, political and marketing resources, name recognition or a larger number of consumers and payors than we do. In addition, some of these organizations offer more services than we do in the markets in which we operate and may in the future offer, a wider range of services that are increasingly desirable to our current client base as well as potential clients, and they may also use advertising and marketing strategies that achieve broader brand recognition or acceptance. We compete based on the availability of personnel, the quality of services, the expertise of staff and, in certain instances, the price of our services. These competitive differences may limit our ability to attract and retain referrals in local markets and to increase our overall market share.

In addition, economic changes such as increases in minimum wage and changes in Department of Labor rules can also impact the ease of entry into a market. These factors may affect competition in the states in which we operate. If one or more of our competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could materially adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our current or future partners, thereby limiting our ability to grow our strategic relationship with such parties. If we are unable to compete effectively with these or other competitors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to maintain relationships with existing patient referral sources, our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Our success depends, in part, on referrals from case managers, hospitals and other sources in the communities we serve and on our ability to maintain good relationships with existing referral sources. Our referral sources are not contractually obligated to refer patients to us and may refer their patients to other providers. For certain services, our growth and profitability depend, in part, on our ability to establish and maintain close working relationships with these patient referral sources and to increase awareness and acceptance of the benefits of home health by our referral sources and their patients. Our loss of, or failure to maintain, existing relationships or our failure to develop new referral relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our relationships with existing customers and partners, and to our ability to attract new customers and partners. Our success in receiving referrals, obtaining new agreements and renewing our existing agreements depends upon maintaining our reputation as a quality service provider. The promotion of our brand may require us to make substantial investments and we anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Brand promotion and marketing activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including negative publicity, changes in public perceptions of our services or government investigations of our operations could damage our reputation and hinder our ability to receive referrals, retain agreements or obtain new agreements. Increased government scrutiny may also contribute to an increase in compliance costs and could discourage consumers from using our services. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business may not grow or our current revenue may decline and we could lose our relationships with our existing customers or partners, which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We depend on our talent to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to attract, hire, integrate, develop, motivate and retain our personnel, including our senior management, we may not be able to grow effectively.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain high-quality employees. Competition for qualified employees is intense in our industry, and the loss of qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the planned expansion of our business could harm our operating results and impair our ability to grow. To attract and retain key personnel, we use various measures, however, these measures may not be enough to attract and retain the personnel we require to operate our business effectively.

As we continue to grow, we may be unable to continue to attract or retain the personnel we need to maintain our competitive position. In addition to hiring new employees, we must continue to focus on retaining our best talent. Competition for these resources is intense. If we are not able to effectively increase and retain our talent, our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will be adversely impacted, and our business will be harmed. Employees may be more likely to leave us if the shares of our capital stock they own or the shares of our capital stock underlying their equity incentive awards have significantly reduced in value or the vested shares of our capital stock they own or vested shares of our capital stock underlying their equity incentive awards have significantly appreciated. Certain members of our leadership may receive significant proceeds from sales of our equity in the public markets, which may reduce their motivation to continue to work for us.

In addition, our future also depends on the continued contributions of our senior management team, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We rely on our leadership team in the areas of operations, technology, sales, and general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team that may be disruptive to our business, particularly if we have failed to have in place and execute an effective succession plan. If our senior management team, including any new hires that we may make, fails to work together effectively and to execute our plans and strategies on a timely basis, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

Our business may be harmed by labor relations matters.

We are subject to a risk of work stoppages and other labor relations matters. As of September 30, 2022, approximately 60% of our workforce was represented by labor unions. We have agreements with local union affiliates which are renegotiated from time to time. These negotiations are often initiated when we receive increases in our hourly rates from various state agencies. If state agencies decrease our hourly rates, that would have an impact on the rates paid to our workforce and could negatively impact our labor relations and labor supply, both of which could result in a disruption of our operations. Upon expiration of these collective bargaining agreements, we may not be able to negotiate labor agreements on satisfactory terms with these labor unions. A strike, work stoppage or other slowdown could result in a disruption of our operations or higher ongoing labor costs, which could adversely affect our business. Moreover, potential changes to federal labor laws and regulations, including those supported by the current presidential administration, could increase the likelihood of employee unionization activity and the ability of employees to unionize. Labor costs are the most significant component of our total expenditures and, therefore, an increase in the cost of labor could significantly harm our business.

Our corporate culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity, and teamwork fostered by our culture and our business may be harmed.

We believe that our culture has been and will continue to be a critical contributor to our success. We expect to continue to hire aggressively as we expand, and we believe our corporate culture has been crucial in our success and our ability to attract highly skilled personnel. If we do not continue to develop our corporate culture or maintain and preserve our core values as we grow and evolve, we may be unable to foster the innovation,

 

59


Table of Contents

curiosity, creativity, focus on execution, teamwork, and the facilitation of critical knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing we believe we need to support our growth. Moreover, our anticipated headcount growth and our status as a public company may result in a change to our corporate culture, which could harm our business.

Timing differences in reimbursement may cause liquidity problems. We depend on reimbursements by payors, which can and do change fee schedules, contract terms, reimbursement rules and standards of care, which can lead to lower reimbursement rates, a higher rate of denials and additional costs.

We receive a substantial portion of our payments for our products and services from payors, including national and regional insurers and MCOs and Medicaid. The reimbursement process can be complex and can involve lengthy delays.

Shortly after the onset of COVID-19 in March 2020, numerous state Medicaid programs began to issue temporary rate increases and similarly directed Medicaid Managed Care programs within those states to adjust rates. These temporary rate increases are paid to the Company via normal claim processing by the respective payors. Over the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and continuing into fiscal year 2021, while some states discontinued the temporary rate increases, some states issued continuations of the temporary rate increases with many state legislatures communicating support for either making such increases permanent or otherwise increasing participant directed services (“PDS”) reimbursement rates. There is no assurance that there will be additional offsetting rate increases for the Company for fiscal years beyond fiscal year 2022, and our financial performance will be adversely impacted for any periods in which an additional offsetting reimbursement rate increase is not in effect.

Payors continue their efforts to control expenditures for healthcare products and services, including proposals to revise reimbursement policies. In addition, payors may disallow, in whole or in part, requests for reimbursement based on determinations that certain amounts are not reimbursable, or that additional supporting documentation is necessary, for one or more reasons, such as retroactive authorization status change. Recoupments and retroactive adjustments may change amounts realized from payors. For example, we may not immediately be made aware of certain patients who have been admitted to a hospital, moved into skilled nursing facility care or passed away and we may continue to inadvertently bill such patients, thus resulting in an increase in recoupments or adjustments from payors. Certain payors have filing deadlines and will not pay claims submitted after such deadlines.

We fund operations primarily through the collection of accounts receivable, but there is a delay between the time that we provide services and the time that we receive reimbursement or payment for these services. These delays may result from an economic downturn, causing individuals to delay or default on their contractual payment obligations for personal care services, or for services paid by third-party payors, changes by payors to data submission requirements, government payor issues, or information system problems. Further, some of the states in which we operate are operating with budget deficits for the 2022 fiscal year given the ongoing economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and rising interest rates, among other factors. Should there be an overall economic downturn, such as a recession, state-funded programs for which our agencies have contracts (e.g., Medicaid) may delay reimbursement, which would adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, from time to time, procedural issues require us to resubmit claims before payment is remitted, which contributes to our aged receivables. Additionally, we may experience unanticipated delays in receiving reimbursement from state programs due to changes in their policies or billing or audit procedures. Delays in receiving reimbursement or payments from Medicaid and other payors may adversely impact our working capital. As a result, working capital management, including prompt and diligent billing and collection, is an important factor in our results of operations and liquidity. Our working capital management procedures may not successfully negate this risk.

We are and have been subject to routine and periodic surveys, audits and investigations by various governmental agencies. These audits and investigations can result in recoupments by Medicaid and other payors of amounts previously paid to us. We are unable to predict what additional government regulations, if any,

affecting our business may be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws and regulations might be interpreted or whether we will be able to comply with such laws and regulations either in the markets in which we presently conduct, or wish to commence, business.

Our revenues are concentrated in a small number of states which makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory and economic changes in those states.

In 2021, we derived approximately 16.72% of our net service revenues from services provided in Alaska, 16.26% of our net service revenues from services provided in Arizona and 13.94% of our net service revenues from services provided in Montana and, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, we derived approximately 92.3% of our net service revenue from the contract we entered into in the State of Washington. In 2022, we began implementing the Washington Contract, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, the Company’s Washington entity went from 0 participants and $0 in revenue to 44,356 participants and $550.8 million in revenue, respectively. We expect to derive a significant portion of our net service revenues from services provided in Washington in the future. Our revenues are particularly sensitive to regulatory and economic changes in these states. Accordingly, any change in the current demographic, economic, competitive or regulatory conditions in these states could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Changes to the Medicaid programs in these states could also have a disproportionately adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We conduct our business pursuant to large, concentrated contracts in many cases, and the loss of any one of these contracts, or the failure to procure such contracts, would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We remain dependent upon the continuation of our contracts with the state agencies with which we contract. As discussed in “— Our revenues are concentrated in a small number of states which makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory and economic changes in those states,” a significant portion of our revenue is concentrated in a small number of contracts with these agencies. We expect to be particularly impacted by the Washington Contract in the future. There can be no assurance as to the actual amount of services that we will ultimately provide under our current contracts, or that we will be successful in future efforts to maintain or bring in additional contracts. Our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition would be materially adversely affected if we were unable to continue our relationship with these customers, if we were to lose any of our material current contracts, or if the amount of services we provide to them is materially reduced.

Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights (including intellectual property and other proprietary rights acquired through acquisitions). We rely upon a combination of trademark, copyrights, and trade secret laws, as well as license agreements, intellectual property assignment agreements, confidentiality agreements and other similar agreements, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. The foregoing provide only limited protection and any of the intellectual property rights owned by or licensed to us may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated.

There can also be no assurances that third parties will not also independently develop or offer services that are similar to, or competitive with, our services. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may also attempt to disclose, copy, use, duplicate or obtain and use our intellectual property, and policing unauthorized use of our technology and intellectual property rights is difficult, costly and may not be effective. In order to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, we may be required to devote significant time and resources to defending against claims or protecting and enforcing our own rights. Furthermore, attempts to enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties could also provoke these third parties to assert their own intellectual property or other rights against us, or result in a holding that

 

61


Table of Contents

invalidates or narrows the scope of our rights, in whole or in part. These actions as well as any failure to secure, maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our success and ability to compete also depends in part on our ability to operate without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties. We may in the future encounter disputes from time to time concerning intellectual property rights of others, including our competitors, and we may not prevail in these disputes. Third parties may raise claims against us alleging an infringement, misappropriation or other violation of their intellectual property rights, including trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property or proprietary rights. We may not be aware of whether our products or services do or will infringe existing or future intellectual property rights of others even if we diligently search for third-party intellectual property that our products or services may potentially infringe. Litigation may be necessary to defend against alleged infringement or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. The resolution of any such disputes or litigations is difficult to predict.

An assertion of an intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation claim against us, regardless of the merit of such claims, may result in adverse judgments, settlement on unfavorable terms or cause us to spend significant amounts to defend the claim, even if we ultimately prevail and we may have to pay significant monetary damages, lose significant revenues, be prohibited from using the relevant technologies or other intellectual property (temporarily or permanently), cease providing certain product offerings or incur significant license, royalty or technology development expense, or suffer harm to our brand, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even in instances where we believe that claims and allegations of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation against us are without merit, defending against such claims could be costly, time consuming and could result in the diversion of time and attention of our management team and technical personnel. In addition, although in some cases a third party may have agreed to indemnify us for such infringement, misappropriation or other violation, such indemnifying party may refuse or be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. In other cases, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type adequately or at all, and we may be required to pay monetary damages, which may be significant.

An adverse determination in any intellectual property claim could require us to pay damages and/or stop using our technologies, trademarks, copyrighted works and other material found to be in violation of another party’s rights and could prevent us from using our technologies unless we enter into royalty or licensing arrangements with the prevailing party or are able to redesign our product offerings and processes to avoid infringement. Any such license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to redesign our product offerings in a way that would not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, such claims may result in negative publicity about us, which could harm our reputation.

We rely on a combination of non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, contractors and consultants and other parties with whom we have relationships and who may have access to our confidential information to protect our proprietary rights. We cannot guarantee that our agreements with employees, contractors and consultants are effective to protect our confidential information or will be effective in assigning us all rights in intellectual property created by such employees, contractors and consultants. Additionally, we may be subject to claims from third parties challenging our ownership interest in or the inventorship of our intellectual property, for example, based on claims that our agreements with employees, contractors or consultants obligating such parties to assign intellectual property to us are ineffective or in conflict with prior or competing contractual obligations to assign inventions to another employer, former employer, or another person or entity.

If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected.

We rely on our trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names and logos to market our brands and to build and maintain brand loyalty and recognition. We rely on trademark protections to protect our business and

Table of Contents

our service offerings. We generally seek to register and continue to register and renew, or secure by contract where appropriate, trademarks, trade names and service marks as they are developed and used, and reserve, register and renew domain names as appropriate. Our registered or unregistered trademarks, trade names or service marks may be challenged, infringed, circumvented or declared generic or determined to be infringing on other marks. Similarly, not every variation of a domain name may be available or be registered, even if available. We may not be able to protect our rights to these trademarks, domain names and trade names, which we need to build brand name recognition by potential customers or partners in our markets of interest. While we seek to protect the trademarks we use or geographic markets, we may be unsuccessful in obtaining registrations and/or otherwise protecting these trademarks. If that were to happen, we may be prevented from using our names, brands and trademarks unless we enter into appropriate royalty, license or coexistence agreements. Over the long term, if we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks, service marks, domain names and trade names, then we may not be able to compete effectively and our business could be adversely affected.

Our payor contracts, including those with organizations that represent a significant portion of our business, are subject to renegotiation or termination which could result in a decrease in our revenue and profits.

From time to time, our payor contracts are amended (sometimes through unilateral action by payors regarding payment policy), renegotiated, subjected to a bidding process with our competitors, or terminated altogether. Sometimes, in the renegotiation process, contracts in certain lines of business may not be renewed or a payor may enlarge its provider network or otherwise adversely change the way it conducts its business with us. In other cases, a payor may reduce its provider network in exchange for lower payment rates. Our revenue from a payor may also be adversely affected if the payor alters its utilization management expectations and/or administrative procedures for payments and audits, or changes its order of preference among the providers to which it refers business. Any reduction in our projected revenues as a result of these or other factors could also lead to impairment of the value of our intangible assets, which would result in a decrease in value of these assets on our balance sheet. We cannot assure you that our payor contracts will not be terminated or altered in ways that are unfavorable to us as a result of renegotiation or such administrative changes. Terminations or alterations of contracts, particularly those that are concentrated with organizations that represent a significant portion of our business, could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Payors may also decide to refer business to their owned provider subsidiaries. Some payors have developed or acquired, or may in the future develop or acquire, an ownership interest in our competitors or administrative intermediaries. These activities could materially reduce our revenue from these payors.

Possible changes in the mix of clients and products and services provided, as well as payor mix and payment methodologies, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our revenues are determined by a number of factors, including our mix of clients, the rates of payment among payors and the mix of services provided. A shift towards payors with lower prices, or from higher gross margin products to lower gross margin products, would reduce our gross margins. Changes in the mix of our clients and services provided, payment methodologies or the payor mix among commercial payors and Medicaid could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. If the market opportunities for our products and services and client categories are smaller or not as profitable as we have estimated, we have difficulties in expanding our services and client categories or we fail to capture cross-selling opportunities, we may not be able to continue to grow as profitably as we have expected, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our failure to maintain controls and processes over billing and collections, estimating the collectability of our accounts receivable or the deterioration of the financial condition of our payors, could have a significant negative impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

The collection of accounts receivable can be one of our most significant challenges and requires constant focus, involvement by management and continuous enhancements to information systems and billing center

Table of Contents

operating procedures. Further, some of our clients and payors may experience financial difficulties, or may otherwise not pay accounts receivable when due, which could result in increased write-offs. The COVID-19 pandemic and other macroeconomic factors may exacerbate these conditions. Our payors also make errors in their reimbursements to us. The failure of our systems and billing and collection center employees to detect these errors, notify and convince the payors of their errors and obtain the corrected reimbursements could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. We have experienced such situations in the past, and although none of such foregoing instances have been material to our business or operations, we cannot say that such situations will not affect our business going forward. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current levels of collectability in future periods or accurately estimate the collectability of accounts receivable. For instance, clients may begin services under a new provider or we may see more problems with billing and collection. If we are unable to properly bill and collect our accounts receivable, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects will be adversely affected. From time to time, we are involved in disputes with various parties, including payors and their intermediaries regarding their performance of various contractual or regulatory obligations. These disputes may lead to legal and other proceedings and may cause us to incur costs or experience delays in collections, increases in accounts receivable or loss of revenue. In addition, in the event such disputes are not resolved in our favor and/or result in the termination of our relationships with such parties, there may be an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Further, while we have made significant progress in the collection of our accounts receivable in recent years, we may not be able to further improve our net leverage ratios.

We rely on, and in the future we may rely on, third-parties for certain of our software and information systems and licensed intellectual property rights.

We rely on, and in the future we may rely on, third parties for certain of our software and information systems and are a party to certain licenses that give us rights to third-party intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. If we are unable to obtain or maintain licenses to utilize such software and information systems, we could incur unanticipated expenses, suffer disruptions in service, experience regulatory issues and lose revenue from the operation of our business. For example, some of our software and information systems are developed by third parties. We may not be able to replace the functions provided by these third-party systems if they become obsolete, defective or incompatible with future versions of our services and solutions, or if they are not adequately maintained or updated, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. Furthermore, in the future, should we be required to obtain licenses for any third-party technology, such licenses may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain rights to required third-party technology or intellectual property rights or maintain the existing rights we have, we may be required to expend significant time and resources to replace such rights, which may not be feasible on a technical or commercial basis and may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Any loss of the right to use any of this software could result in delays in the provisioning of our services until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated. Furthermore, our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements with third parties, and integration of our software with new third-party software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. Also, any undetected errors or defects in third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our software, delay new updates or enhancements to our solutions, result in a failure of our solutions, and injure our reputation.

We believe we have all the necessary licenses from third parties to use technology, software and intellectual property assets used in our business that we do not own. A third party could, however, allege that we are infringing its rights, which may deter our ability to obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms from the third party, if at all, or cause the third party to commence litigation against us. If a licensor alleges that we have failed to comply with our obligations in any of our license agreements, the licensor may have the right to terminate the license and we may not be able to make use of the technology that was covered by the license, which may adversely impact our business.

 

64


Table of Contents

Any failure to obtain any necessary licenses or other rights to technology or intellectual property could cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our management and other personnel from their normal responsibilities and materially and adversely affect our business. Alternate sources for the technology, software, information systems and products currently provided by third parties to us may not be available to us in a timely manner, and may not provide us with the same functions as currently provided to us or may be more expensive than products we currently use or sell.

Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce the intellectual property we license from such licensors. Our licensors may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing the licensed intellectual property, or may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, our competitive business position could be harmed.

We may be adversely affected by consolidation among health insurers and other industry participants.

In recent years, a number of health insurers have merged or increased efforts to consolidate with other non-governmental payors. Insurers are also increasingly pursuing alignment initiatives with healthcare providers. Consolidation within the health insurance industry may result in insurers having increased negotiating leverage and competitive advantages, such as greater access to performance and pricing data. Our ability to negotiate prices and favorable terms with health insurers in certain markets could be affected negatively as a result of this consolidation. In addition, the shift toward value-based payment models could be accelerated if larger insurers, including those engaging in consolidation activities, find these models to be financially beneficial. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate favorable terms with payors and otherwise respond effectively to the impact of increased consolidation in the payor industry or vertical integration efforts.

There is an inherent risk of liability in the provision of healthcare services; damage to our reputation or our failure to adequately insure against losses, including from substantial claims and litigation, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

There is an inherent risk of liability in the provision of healthcare services. As participants in the healthcare industry, we are and expect to be periodically subject to lawsuits, some of which may involve large claims and significant costs to defend, such as mass tort or other class actions. In that case, the coverage under our insurance programs may not be adequate to protect us. Our insurance policies are subject to annual renewal and our insurance premiums could be subject to material increases in the future. We cannot be assured that we will be able to maintain this insurance on acceptable terms in the future, or at all, and we expect our insurance costs to increase as we transition to a public company and due to rising costs of cybersecurity, special purpose acquisition company-related, and other types of insurance. A successful claim in excess of, or not covered by, our insurance policies could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Even where our insurance is adequate to cover claims against us, damage to our reputation in the event of a judgment against us, or continued increases in our insurance costs, which increases could be material, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Any economic downturn, deepening of an economic downturn, continued deficit spending by the federal government or state budget pressures may result in a reduction in payments and covered services.

Adverse economic or political developments in the United States, including a slowdown of economic growth, disruptions in financial markets, economic downturns, inflation, elevated unemployment levels, sluggish or uneven economic recovery, government deficit reduction, natural and other disasters and public health crises, could lead to a reduction in federal government expenditures, including governmentally funded programs in which we participate, such as Medicaid. In addition, if at any time the federal government is not able to meet its debt payments unless the federal debt ceiling is raised, and legislation increasing the debt ceiling is not enacted, the federal government may stop or delay making payments on its obligations, including funding for government

Table of Contents

programs in which we participate, such as Medicaid. Failure of the government to make payments under these programs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. The COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate many of these conditions. Further, any failure by Congress to complete the federal budget process and fund government operations may result in a federal government shutdown, potentially causing us to incur substantial costs without reimbursement under the Medicaid program, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

In addition, sustained unfavorable economic conditions may affect the number of clients enrolled in managed care programs and the profitability of managed care companies, which could result in reduced payment rates and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Turmoil in the financial markets, including in the capital and credit markets, and any uncertainty over its breadth, depth and duration may put pressure on the global economy and could have a negative effect on our business. Further, historical worldwide financial and credit turmoil could reduce the availability of liquidity and credit to fund the continuation and expansion of business operations worldwide. The shortage of liquidity and credit combined with substantial losses in worldwide equity markets could cause an economic recession in the United States or worldwide. If financial markets in the United States, Europe and Asia experience extreme disruption, including, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others, governments may take unprecedented actions intended to address extreme market conditions that may include severely restricted credit and declines in real estate values.

Risks Related to New Pubco’s Capital Requirements and Capital Structure

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from growing.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and in the future we may need to raise additional capital through public or private financing or other arrangements. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business. We may sell common stock, convertible securities and other equity securities or debt securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Our debt agreements contain certain restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.

The terms of our existing debt agreements, including our revolving line of credit with Bank of Montana (the “Credit Agreement”), and related collateral documents, contain, and any future indebtedness would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to take actions that may be in our best interests, including, among others, disposing of assets, entering into change of control transactions, mergers or acquisitions, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens on our assets, declaring and paying dividends, and agreeing to do any of the foregoing. Our ability to meet financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may not be able to continue to meet this covenant. A breach of any of these covenants or the occurrence of other events (including a material adverse effect or the inability to generate cash to service our

Table of Contents

obligations under our debt agreements) specified in the debt agreements or the related collateral documents could result in an event of default under the same. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, our lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding, if any, to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts, lenders could proceed against the collateral, if any, granted to them to secure such indebtedness. We have pledged substantially all of our respective assets as collateral under the loan documents. If lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, if any, we may not have sufficient funds to repay our existing debt.

Changes to the method of determining the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the selection of a replacement for LIBOR may increase our interest expense or otherwise adversely affect us.

LIBOR, the London Interbank Offered Rate, is the basic rate of interest used in lending transactions between banks on the London interbank market and is widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally.

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that it will not compel panel banks to contribute to LIBOR after 2021. It is unclear if at that time LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021.

Central banks and regulators in a number of major jurisdictions (for example, United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Switzerland and Japan) have convened working groups to find, and implement the transition to, suitable replacements for interbank offered rates (“IBORs”). To identify a successor rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), a U.S.-based group convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was formed. The ARRC has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. In addition, on March 25, 2020, the FCA stated that although the central assumption that firms cannot rely on LIBOR being published after the end of 2021 has not changed, the outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted the timing of many firms’ transition planning, and the FCA will continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on transition timelines and update the marketplace as soon as possible. Although SOFR appears to be the preferred replacement rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, at this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United States, United Kingdom or elsewhere or, whether the COVID-19 outbreak will have further effect on LIBOR transition plans.

The elimination of LIBOR or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us or on our overall financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Tax Matters

The applicability of sales, use, and other tax laws or regulations on our business is uncertain. Adverse tax laws or regulations could be enacted or existing laws could be applied to us or our customers, which could subject us to additional tax liability and related interest and penalties, increase the costs of our solutions, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

U.S. federal, state, local, and international tax jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales, use, value-added and other taxes, and these rules and regulations can be complex and are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. Existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified, or applied adversely to us (possibly with retroactive effect). One or more states may seek to impose incremental or new sales, use, value added or other tax collection obligations on us, including for past sales by us. A successful assertion by a state, country or other jurisdiction that we should have

 

67


Table of Contents

been or should be collecting additional sales, use, value added or other taxes could, among other things, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, create significant administrative burdens for us, discourage consumers from working with us or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Future changes to tax laws or our effective tax rate could materially and adversely affect our company and reduce net returns to our stockholders.

Our tax treatment is subject to the enactment of, or changes in, tax laws, regulations and treaties, or the interpretation thereof, tax policy initiatives and reforms under consideration and the practices of tax authorities in various jurisdictions, all of which could change on a prospective or retroactive basis. Such changes may include (but are not limited to) the taxation of operating income, investment income, dividends received or (in the specific context of withholding tax) dividends paid, or the taxation of partnerships and other passthrough entities. We are unable to predict what tax reform may be proposed or enacted in the future or what effect such changes would have on our business, but such changes, to the extent they are brought into tax legislation, regulations, policies or practices, could affect our financial position and overall or effective tax rates in the future, reduce post-tax returns to our stockholders, and increase the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance.

Our businesses are subject to income taxation in the United States. Tax rates at the federal, state and local levels in the United States may be subject to significant change. If our effective tax rate increases, our operating results and cash flow could be adversely affected. Our effective income tax rate can vary significantly between periods due to a number of complex factors including, projected levels of taxable income in each jurisdiction, tax audits conducted and settled by various tax authorities, and adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of income tax returns.

Certain U.S. state tax authorities may assert that we have a state nexus and seek to impose state and local income taxes which could harm our results of operations.

We are qualified to operate in, and file income tax returns in multiple states. There is a risk that certain state tax authorities where we do not currently file a state income tax return could assert that we are liable for state and local income taxes based upon income or gross receipts allocable to such states. States are becoming increasingly aggressive in asserting a nexus for state income tax purposes. We could be subject to state and local taxation, including penalties and interest attributable to prior periods, if a state tax authority successfully asserts that our activities give rise to a nexus. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest may adversely impact our results of operations.

If the First Merger does not qualify as tax-free reorganization under the Code, DTRT Stockholders may incur a substantially greater U.S. income tax liability as a result of the First Merger.

In the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, tax counsel to DTRT, the First Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. This opinion is based on facts and representations contained in representation letters provided by DTRT and Grizzly Merger Sub and on customary factual assumptions, and further assumes that the Mergers are completed in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement and the Registration Statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. If any assumption or representation is or becomes inaccurate, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the First Merger could be adversely affected.

If the First Merger qualifies for such treatment, DTRT Stockholders generally will not recognize gain or loss upon their exchange of DTRT common stock for New Pubco common stock. Neither CDH nor DTRT has requested, or intends to request, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. A tax opinion represents the legal judgment of counsel rendering the opinion and is not binding on the IRS. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position to the contrary. Accordingly, if the IRS or a court determines that the First Merger does not qualify for such treatment and is therefore a fully taxable transaction

for U.S. federal income tax purposes, DTRT Stockholders generally would recognize taxable gain or loss on the total merger consideration they receive in connection with the First Merger. For a more complete discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers, see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Risks Related to Laws and Regulations

If we fail to comply with governmental regulations, we could face substantial penalties, liabilities, or reputational harm and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our services, as well as our business activities, are and may in the future be subject to a complex set of regulations and rigorous enforcement, including by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), Office of the Inspector General and Office for Civil Rights, and other federal and state governmental authorities.

Our employees, consultants, and commercial partners may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements and fraud. Federal and state laws and regulations that may affect our ability to conduct business include, without limitation:

 

   

HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and its implementing regulations, which impose certain requirements relating to the privacy, security, and transmission of Protected Health Information (“PHI”) on certain healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, and their business associates that access or otherwise process individually identifiable health information on their behalf; HIPAA also created criminal liability for knowingly and willfully falsifying or concealing a material fact or making a materially false statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services;

 

   

state laws governing the privacy and security of personal information beyond health information, including state breach notification requirements, which differ from each other in significant ways with respect to scope, application, and requirements and which often exceed the standards under HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts;

 

   

laws that regulate how businesses operate online, including measures relating to privacy and data security and how such information is communicated to customers (i) under the FTC’s unfair and deceptive trade practice authority from the FTC Act and (ii) from state attorneys general under state consumer protection laws and data privacy laws;

 

   

state laws and regulations governing the personal care industry;

 

   

the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, any person from knowingly and willfully offering, soliciting, receiving, or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service for which payment may be made under federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid;

 

   

the federal civil false claims and civil monetary penalties laws, including, without limitation, the federal False Claims Act, which prohibits, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, false claims, or knowingly using false statements, to obtain payment from the federal government;

 

   

federal criminal laws that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters; and

 

   

state law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers.

 

69


Table of Contents

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the “Affordable Care Act”) among other things, amends the intent requirement of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and criminal healthcare fraud statutes. A person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, the Affordable Care Act provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act.

Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of available statutory and regulatory exemptions, it is possible that some of our activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. Any action brought against us for violations of these laws or regulations, even if successfully defended, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert management’s attention from the operation of our business. We may be subject to private “qui tam” actions brought by individual whistleblowers on behalf of the federal or state governments, with potential liability under the federal False Claims Act including mandatory treble damages and significant per-claim penalties.

Although we have adopted policies and procedures designed to comply with these laws and regulations and conduct regular internal reviews of our compliance with these laws, our compliance is also subject to governmental review. The growth of our business and sales organization and any future expansion outside of the United States may increase the potential of violating these laws or our internal policies and procedures. The risk of our being found in violation of these or other laws and regulations is further increased by the fact that many have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action brought against us for violation of these or other laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert management’s attention from the operation of our business. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the federal, state, and foreign laws described above or any other current or future fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including significant criminal, civil, and administrative penalties, damages and fines, disgorgement, additional reporting requirements and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or similar agreement to resolve allegations of noncompliance with these laws, imprisonment for individuals and exclusion from participation in government programs, such as Medicaid, as well as contractual damages and reputational harm. Any of the foregoing consequences could seriously harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In-home care has the potential to increase our exposure to fraudulent activities, and if we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

Due to the dispersed delivery of in-home care and personal care services, our self-directed care model could potentially increase our exposure to fraudulent activities. We are exposed to the risk of fraud or other misconduct by our employees, consultants, vendors and commercial partners. We have developed a corporate compliance program in an effort to monitor compliance with federal and state laws and regulations applicable to healthcare organizations and to implement policies, procedures and processes designed to ensure that our employees and third-parties whom we work with act in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and company policies. However, it is not always possible to identify and deter employee or third-party vendor misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations.

Additionally, we are subject to the risk that a client or regulator could allege such fraud or other misconduct, even if none occurred. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, disgorgements, possible exclusion from participation in Medicaid, other U.S. federal healthcare programs or healthcare programs

in other jurisdictions, integrity oversight and reporting obligations to resolve allegations of non-compliance, individual imprisonment, other sanctions, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of our operations.

If the personal care services industry is perceived by consumers or regulators as being subject to a higher risk of fraudulent activity than care that is provided in traditional care settings, that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If consumers of healthcare and personal care services and regulators perceive the personal care services industry as being subject to a higher risk of fraud than care that is provided in traditional care settings because there is less direct oversight of the services being provided or for other reasons, that could cause us to be subject to more frequent audits or reputational harm, both of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to routine and periodic surveys and audits by various governmental agencies and other payors designed to identify any instances of fraud. CMS and state Medicaid agencies contract with third parties to promote the integrity of the Medicaid and Medicare programs through reviews of quality concerns and detections and corrections of improper payments. For example, CMS and state Medicaid agencies contract with recovery audit contractors (“RACs”) on a contingency fee basis to conduct post-payment reviews to detect and correct improper payments in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, CMS engages unified program integrity contractors (“UPICS”) to perform proactive analysis, audits, investigations and other program integrity functions across the Medicare and Medicaid programs, with the goal of identifying and deterring fraud and abuse to avoid improper payments. Further, from time to time, various federal and state agencies, such as HHS, issue pronouncements that identify practices and provider types that may be subject to heightened scrutiny, as well as practices that may violate fraud and abuse laws.

If regulators were to identify instances of fraud, or if current or prospective clients were to perceive our services as being subject to a higher risk of fraud, that could have a negative impact on our financial results and our reputation in the market.

If any of our personal care agencies fail to comply with the conditions of participation in the Medicaid program, that agency could be terminated from Medicaid, which could adversely affect our revenue and net income.

Our personal care agencies must comply with the extensive conditions of participation in the Medicaid program. These conditions generally require our personal care agencies to meet specified standards relating to personnel, patient rights, patient care, patient records, administrative reporting and legal compliance. If a personal care agency fails to meet any of the Medicaid conditions of participation, that personal care agency may receive a notice of deficiency from the applicable surveyor or accreditor. If that personal care agency then fails to institute a plan of correction to correct the deficiency within the time period provided by the surveyor or accreditor, that personal care agency could be terminated from the Medicaid program. We respond in the ordinary course to deficiency notices issued by surveyors or accreditors. Any termination of one or more of our personal care agencies from the Medicaid program for failure to satisfy the Medicaid conditions of participation could adversely affect our revenue and net income.

Our use, disclosure, and other processing of PII and PHI is subject to HIPAA and other federal, state, and foreign privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our customer base and revenue.

Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, integrity, and other processing of PHI and PII. These laws and regulations include HIPAA, which establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection of PHI by

 

71


Table of Contents

health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services. Many of our subsidiary entities are subject to HIPAA, either as covered entities or business associates. HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect such information.

In addition, we could be subject to periodic audits for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards by HHS and our customers. Penalties for violations of HIPAA and its implementing regulations start at $119 per violation and are not to exceed $59,522 per violation, subject to a cap of $1.78 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. However, a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity, and security of PHI and other types of PII. These laws and regulations in many cases may be more restrictive than, and may not be preempted by, HIPAA and its implementing rules. These laws and regulations may also require additional compliance obligations relating to the transfer of data between the Company and its subsidiaries. There is a risk that regulatory authorities may determine that we have not implemented our compliance obligations in a timely or appropriate manner. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, unclear, and subject to changed or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future.

Such new regulations and legislative actions (or changes in interpretation of existing laws or regulations regarding data privacy and security together with applicable industry standards) may increase our costs of doing business. In this regard, we expect that there will continue to be new laws, regulations, and industry standards relating to privacy and data protection in the United States, and other jurisdictions, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) which has been characterized as the first “GDPR-like” privacy statute to be enacted in the United States, and we cannot determine how broadly or narrowly regulators will interpret and enforce such new laws, regulations, and standards and the corresponding impact it may have on our business. Finally, some consumers may respond to these evolving laws and regulations by asking us to make certain privacy or data-related contractual commitments that we are unable or unwilling to make. This could lead to the loss of current or prospective consumers or other business relationships.

This complex, dynamic legal landscape regarding privacy, data protection, and information security creates significant compliance issues for us and our customers and potentially exposes us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability. Although we take steps to help protect confidential and other sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure, our information technology and infrastructure has been subject to, and may be vulnerable in the future to, attacks by hackers or viruses, failures, or breaches due to third-party action, employee negligence or error, malfeasance, or other incidents or disruptions. Furthermore, while we have implemented data privacy and security measures in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection, some PHI and other Personal Identifiable Information (“PII”) or confidential information is transmitted to us by third parties, who may not implement adequate security and privacy measures, and it is possible that laws, rules and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, or information security may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices or those of third parties who transmit PHI and other PII or confidential information to us. If we or these third parties are found to have violated such laws, rules or regulations, it could result in government-imposed fines, orders requiring that we or these third parties change our or their practices, or criminal charges, which could adversely affect our business.

Table of Contents

Complying with these various laws and regulations could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices, systems and compliance procedures in a manner adverse to our business. Any of the foregoing consequences could seriously harm our business and our financial results. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our customers may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our existing and future solutions. Any of the foregoing consequences could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Evolving government regulations may require increased costs or adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In a regulatory climate that is uncertain, our operations may be subject to direct and indirect adoption, expansion, or reinterpretation of various laws and regulations. Compliance with these future laws and regulations may require us to change our practices at an undeterminable and possibly significant initial monetary and annual expense. These additional monetary expenditures may increase future overhead, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

There is also uncertainty regarding whether, when, and what other health or data privacy reform initiatives will be adopted and the impact of such efforts on our business, as well as on the businesses of our partners and customers. The implications of such proposals may be unexpected, and such measures, if implemented, could alter the landscape of our industry in ways that adversely affect our business.

There could be laws and regulations applicable to our business that we have not identified or that, if changed, may be costly to us, and we cannot predict all the ways in which implementation of such laws and regulations may affect us.

In the states in which we operate, we believe we are in compliance with all applicable material regulations, but, due to the uncertain regulatory environment, certain states may determine that we are in violation of their laws and regulations. In the event that we must remedy such violations, if we determine that the requirements to operate in compliance in such states or other jurisdictions are overly burdensome, we may elect to terminate our operations in such states or other jurisdictions. In such case, our revenue may decline and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Additionally, the introduction of new services may require us to comply with additional, yet undetermined, laws and regulations. Compliance may require obtaining appropriate state or jurisdictional licenses or certificates, increasing our security measures, and expending additional resources to monitor developments in applicable rules and ensure compliance. The failure to adequately comply with these future laws and regulations may delay or possibly prevent our services from being offered to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Compliance with changing laws and regulations including specific program compliance may result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management team.

The state agencies that contract for our services require us to comply with various laws and regulations affecting the services we provide. The laws and regulations governing our operations are subject to change. The implementation of these changes may require us to increase our efforts to remain compliant, may reduce the authorizations for services to be provided, and may result in certain consumers no longer being eligible for our services, any of which may result in lower revenues and increased costs, reducing our operating performance and profitability. If we continue to serve our consumers without addressing changes in laws and regulations, we are at risk for non-compliance with program requirements and potential penalties.

Our business may be adversely impacted by healthcare reform efforts, including significant modifications to the ACA.

In recent years, the U.S. Congress and certain state legislatures have considered and passed a large number of laws intended to result in significant changes to the healthcare industry, including the ACA. The ACA affects how healthcare services are delivered and reimbursed through the expansion of public and private health insurance coverage, reduction of growth in Medicare and Medicaid program spending, and the establishment and expansion of programs that tie reimbursement to quality and integration. The ACA has been subject to legislative and regulatory changes and court challenges. Although the current presidential administration has indicated that it generally intends to protect and strengthen the ACA, it is possible that there may be continued changes to the ACA, its implementation or its interpretation. Changes by Congress or government agencies could eliminate or alter provisions beneficial to us, while leaving in place provisions reducing our reimbursement or otherwise negatively impacting our business.

There is also uncertainty regarding whether, when and what other health reform measures will be adopted, and the impact of such efforts on providers as well as other healthcare industry participants. Some members of Congress have proposed expanding government-funded coverage, including proposals to expand coverage of federally-funded insurance programs as an alternative to private insurance or to establish a single payor system (such reforms are often referred to as “Medicare for All”), and some states have implemented or proposed public health insurance options.

In addition, CMS administrators may make changes to Medicaid payment models or grant various flexibilities to states in the administration of state Medicaid programs, including by expanding the scope of waivers under which states may implement Medicaid expansion provisions, impose different eligibility or enrollment restrictions, or otherwise implement programs that vary from federal standards. Other industry participants, such as private payors, may also introduce financial or delivery system reforms. We are unable to predict the nature and success of such initiatives. Healthcare reform initiatives, including changes to the ACA, may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

As part of the COVID-19 relief efforts, we were eligible and received government relief funds and any failure to comply with the terms and conditions of such relief funds could adversely impact our business. Additionally, COVID-19 government relief efforts for healthcare providers have fluctuated and in many cases, have terminated, will shortly terminate, or are being significantly reduced, which may negatively impact our business.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal and state governments passed legislation, promulgated regulations and took other administrative actions intended to assist businesses and healthcare providers. For example, as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the CARES Act), businesses could apply for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to assist them with payroll and other eligible expenses. These PPP loans are eligible for forgiveness, if certain requirements are met and supporting documentation is provided. We received a total of $10 million from a PPP loan in April 2020. Thereafter, we applied for loan forgiveness, which was granted, on June 1, 2022.

Additionally, we received cash distributions totaling $16.2 million from the Provider Relief Fund (PRF), established through the CARES Act and administered through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). These funds are intended to reimburse eligible health care providers for increased expenses or lost revenue attributable to COVID-19. PRF funds are grants and do not have to be repaid. However, recipients had to attest to receiving these funds and agree to comply with the applicable terms and conditions of the PRF. Providers could choose to return funds if they did not want to abide by the terms and conditions of the attestation. In addition, providers were required to expend funds by a certain date, which varied based on when providers received funding.

Recipients of PPP loans and PRF payments are subject to audit requirements, and we expect that recipients will be subject to significant scrutiny by the federal government. We have structured our use of these funds and

associated obligations in accordance with the required terms and conditions, but federal regulators may disagree with our interpretation of these terms and conditions and require that we repay some or all amounts received and pay or impose other penalties.

In addition to financial assistance, the CARES Act and related legislation include provisions intended to increase access to medical supplies and equipment and ease legal and regulatory burdens on healthcare providers, as well as certain federal income and other tax changes, including the deferral of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes, and changes to the net operating loss rules and business interest expense deduction rules.

Many of these measures are effective only for the duration of the public health emergency. The current public health emergency determination was renewed on October 13, 2022. It is unclear for how long the public health emergency declaration will be extended.

There is still a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the CARES Act and related legislation, and the pandemic continues to evolve. The federal government may consider additional stimulus and relief efforts, but we are unable to predict whether additional measures will be enacted or their impact. There can be no assurance as to the total amount of financial and other types of assistance we will receive under existing or future legislation, if any, and it is difficult to predict the impact of such legislation on our operations or how it will affect operations of our competitors. Further, there can be no assurance that the terms and conditions of the Provider Relief Fund or other programs will not change in ways that affect funding we may receive, our ability to comply with such terms and conditions in the future or our eligibility to participate. We continue to assess the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses to the pandemic, including the CARES Act and related legislation, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Reductions in reimbursement and other changes to Medicaid, and other federal, state and local medical and social programs could adversely affect our consumer caseload, units of service, revenues, gross profit and profitability.

A significant portion of our caseload and revenues are derived from government healthcare programs, primarily Medicaid. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 98.5% of our revenues were generated by state Medicaid programs. However, changes in government healthcare programs may decrease the reimbursement we receive or limit access to, or utilization of, our services. As federal healthcare expenditures continue to increase and as some state governments navigate budgetary pressures, federal and state governments have made, and may continue to make, significant changes to the Medicaid programs and reimbursement received for services rendered to beneficiaries of such programs.

The Medicaid program, which is jointly funded by the federal and state governments, is often a state’s largest program. Governmental agencies generally condition their agreements upon a sufficient budgetary appropriation. Almost all of the states in which we operate, at some point, have experienced periodic financial pressures and budgetary shortfalls due to challenging economic conditions, including as a result of the rising costs of healthcare. Reductions to federal support for state Medicaid or other programs could also result in budgetary shortfalls. As a result, many states have made, are considering or may consider making changes in their Medicaid or other state and local medical and social programs, including enacting legislation designed to reduce Medicaid expenditures.

Changes that may occur at the federal or state level to contain costs include:

 

   

limiting increases in, or decreasing, reimbursement rates;

 

   

redefining eligibility standards or coverage criteria for social and medical programs or the receipt of services under those programs;

 

   

increasing consumer responsibility, including through increased co-payment requirements;

decreasing benefits, such as limiting the number of hours of personal care services that will be covered;

 

   

changing reimbursement methodology and program participation eligibility;

 

   

slowing payments to providers;

 

   

increasing utilization of self-directed care alternatives or “all inclusive” programs;

 

   

shifting beneficiaries to managed care organizations; and

 

   

implementing demonstration projects and alternative payment models.

Certain of these measures have been implemented by, or are proposed in, states in which we operate.

In 2021, we derived approximately 16.72% of our net service revenues from services provided in Alaska, 16.26% of our net service revenues from services provided in Arizona and 13.94% of our net service revenues from services provided in Montana, and, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, we derived approximately 92.3% of our net service revenue from the contract we entered into in the State of Washington. In 2022, we began implementing the Washington Contract, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, 2022, the Company’s Washington entity went from 0 participants and $0 in revenue to 44,356 participants and $550.8 million in revenue, respectively. We expect to derive a significant portion of our net service revenues from services provided in Washington in the future. Because a substantial portion of our business is concentrated in these states, any significant reduction in expenditures that pay for our services or other significant changes in these states may have a disproportionately negative impact on our future operating results. We cannot predict whether states material to our operating results will timely pass budgets in subsequent years or experience changes or other challenges that negatively impact our ability to be reimbursed for our services in a timely manner.

The ACA made significant changes to Medicare and Medicaid policy and funding, among other broad changes across the healthcare industry, promoting a shift toward value-based care, including implementation of alternative payment models. The ACA also resulted in expanded Medicaid eligibility in many states and the establishment of various demonstration projects and Medicaid programs under which states may apply to test new or existing approaches to payment and delivery of Medicaid benefits. Future health reform efforts or additional significant changes to the ACA could impact both federal and state programs.

If changes in Medicaid or other state and local medical and social programs result in a reduction in available funds for the services we offer, a reduction in the number of beneficiaries eligible for our services or a reduction in the number of hours or amount of services that beneficiaries eligible for our services may receive, then our revenues and profitability could be negatively impacted. Our profitability depends principally on the levels of government-mandated payment rates and our ability to manage the cost of providing services. In some cases, commercial insurance companies and other private payors rely on government payment systems to determine payment rates. As a result, changes to government healthcare programs that reduce Medicare, Medicaid or other payments may negatively impact payments from private payors, as well. Any reduction in reimbursements or imposition of copayments that dissuade the use of our services, or any reduction in reimbursement from private payors, could also materially adversely affect our profitability.

The implementation of alternative payment models and the transition of Medicaid beneficiaries to managed care organizations may limit our market share and could adversely affect our revenues.

Many government and commercial payors are transitioning providers to alternative payment models that are designed to promote cost-efficiency, quality and coordination of care. For example, accountable care organizations (“ACOs”) incentivize hospitals, physician groups and other providers to organize and coordinate patient care while reducing unnecessary costs. Several states have implemented, or plan to implement, accountable care models for their Medicaid populations. If we are not included in these programs, or if ACOs establish programs that overlap with our services, we are at risk for losing market share and for a loss of our current business.

We may be similarly impacted by increased enrollment of Medicaid beneficiaries in managed care plans, resulting in a shift from traditional fee-for-service models. Under the managed Medicare program, also known as Medicare Advantage, the federal government contracts with private health insurers to provide Medicare benefits. Insurers may choose to offer supplemental benefits, including in-home support services, and impose higher plan costs on beneficiaries. Over 40% of Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, a figure that continues to grow. The eventual impact of these changes on the personal care industry is unknown at this time, but could involve the foregoing risks.

Enrollment in managed Medicaid plans is also growing, as states are increasingly relying on managed care organizations to deliver Medicaid program services as a strategy to control costs and manage resources. We may experience increased competition for managed care contracts due to state regulation and limitations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to be included in plan networks, that we will be able to secure favorable contracts with all or some of the managed care organizations, that our reimbursement under these programs will remain at current levels, that the authorizations for services will remain at current levels or that our profitability will remain at levels consistent with past performance. In addition, operational processes may not be well-defined as a state transitions beneficiaries to managed care. For example, membership, new referrals and the related authorization for services to be provided may be delayed, which may result in delays in service delivery to consumers or in payment for services rendered. Difficulties with operational processes may negatively affect our revenue growth rates, cash flow and profitability for services provided. Other alternative payment models may be presented by the government and commercial payors to control costs that subject our Company to financial risk. We cannot predict at this time what effect alternative payment models may have on our Company.

The industry trend toward value-based purchasing may negatively impact our revenues.

There is a trend in the healthcare industry toward value-based purchasing of healthcare services among both government and commercial payors. Generally, value-based purchasing programs emphasize quality of outcome and efficiency of care provided, rather than quantity of care provided. For example, Medicare requires home health agencies to report certain quality data in order to receive full reimbursement. If this same concept were to be expanded to incorporate the Medicaid services that we currently provide, then our business could be similarly impacted. Failure to report quality data or poor performance may negatively impact the amount of reimbursement received. In addition, CMS publishes home health quality measure data online, through its Care Compare website, to allow consumers and others to search and compare data for Medicare-certified providers. Alongside this quality and public reporting effort, CMS began implementing a nationwide expansion of the home health value-based purchasing (“HHVBP”) Model in January 2022. Under the model, home health agencies will receive increases or decreases to their Medicare fee-for-service payments of up to 5%, based on performance against specific quality measures relative to the performance of other home health providers. Data collected in each performance year will impact Medicare payments two years later. Calendar year 2023 is the first performance year under the expanded HHVBP Model, which will affect payments in calendar year 2025.

In the future, CMS may establish new value-based purchasing programs affecting a broader range of providers. Other initiatives aimed at improving quality and cost of care include alternative payment models, such as ACOs and bundled payment arrangements. There are also several state-driven value-based care initiatives. For example, some states have aligned quality metrics across payors through legislation or regulation. Commercial payors are shifting toward value-based reimbursement arrangements as well.

We expect value-based purchasing programs, including programs that condition reimbursement on patient outcome measures, to become more common and to involve a higher percentage of reimbursement amounts. It is unclear whether alternative models will successfully coordinate care and reduce costs or whether they will decrease overall reimbursement. While we believe we are adapting our business strategies to compete in a value-based reimbursement environment, we are unable at this time to predict how this trend will affect our results of operations. If we perform at a level below the outcomes demonstrated by our competitors, fail to satisfy quality data reporting requirements, are unable to meet or exceed quality performance standards under any applicable

value-based purchasing program, or otherwise fail to effectively provide or coordinate the efficient delivery of quality healthcare services, our reputation in the industry may be negatively impacted, we may receive reduced reimbursement amounts and we may owe repayments to payors, which could adversely affect our revenues, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We may incur increased expenses and risks related to compliance with state requirements for personal care, which could impact our business and operating results.

Although personal care service providers are generally not subject to licensure requirements, certain states require them to complete pre- and post-employment training programs, background checks, and, in certain instances, maintain state certification. We believe we are compliant in all material aspects with such laws and regulations in the states in which we operate, but additional laws and regulations may be imposed upon us in existing markets or markets that we enter in the future. If we fail to maintain required licenses or comply with state laws related to the provision of personal care services, it could disrupt the provision of in-home personal care services or result in negative publicity and loss of confidence in our services which could damage our brand, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

As a result of the Mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement, under certain regulatory frameworks, a change of ownership may occur that will require notification and updating of information to regulatory authorities and new licenses.

For our personal care entities operating in jurisdictions that regulate personal care companies, or for our personal care entities which are credentialed providers with State Medicaid agencies or other government entities, the Mergers may result in a change of ownership, depending upon the applicable regulatory framework. In such case, the respective personal care entity would have to notify and update certain information with regulatory authorities, and in many cases, obtain a new license. While we don’t anticipate long-term adverse consequences of such action, there may be delays or disruptions to the relevant entities, including in accounts receivables, as well as increased administrative burden, associated with the change of ownership process.

We have previously been, and may in the future become, involved in legal proceedings or disputes, which, if resolved adversely, could harm our business.

Our industry is subject to frequent lawsuits and other proceedings. The costs of supporting litigation and dispute resolution proceedings are considerable, and there can be no assurances that a favorable outcome will be obtained. We may need to settle litigation and disputes on terms that are unfavorable to us, or we may be subject to an unfavorable judgment that may not be reversible upon appeal. The terms of any settlement or judgment may require us to cease some or all of our operations or pay substantial amounts to the other party. Even if we were to prevail in such a litigation or dispute, it could be costly and time consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. During the course of any litigation or dispute, we may make announcements regarding the results of hearings and motions and other interim developments. If securities analysts and investors regard these announcements as negative, the market price of our common stock may decline. We may become involved in a number of legal proceedings and audits, including government and agency investigations, and consumer, employment, tort, and other litigation. The outcome of some of these legal proceedings, audits, and other contingencies could require us to take, or refrain from taking, actions that could harm our operations or require us to pay substantial amounts of money, harming our financial condition, and results of operations. As a result, any pending or future legal or regulatory proceedings or audits could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If the Ralph Talarico v. Public Partnerships, LLC case is decided adversely against Public Partnerships, LLC, such decision could negatively impact our business.

In the case of Ralph Talarico v. Public Partnerships, LLC, Case No. 5:17-cv-02165, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the plaintiff class action group alleges that Public Partnerships, LLC (“PPL”)

violated federal and Pennsylvania state law when it denied or underpaid overtime wages to direct care workers who provide home care for individuals with disabilities. On March 8, 2019, PPL filed a Motion for Summary Judgment asking the court to dismiss the case, arguing that it is not an employer of the direct care workers. The plaintiff group filed its opposition, arguing that PPL fits the legal definition of a “joint employer” under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). On January 28, 2020, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania issued an order granting defendant PPL’s motion for summary judgment, which the plaintiff group appealed. On December 7, 2020, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded to the District Court, concluding that there is a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether PPL is a joint employer. On February 3, 2021, the Third Circuit denied PPL’s request for a rehearing, thereby upholding its December ruling and reaffirming the successful appeal. On May 13, 2022, the District Court granted certification of the wage and hour claims against PPL.

If the case is decided adversely against PPL, such decision could negatively impact the provision of self-directed care by CDH via its Fiscal/Agent Employer Model. Fiscal/Agent Employer net service revenue was $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. If CDH were required to change how it classifies and compensates providers of self-directed care via its Fiscal/Agent Employer Model, that could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and other anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and anti-money laundering laws in the jurisdictions in which we do business. These laws generally prohibit us and our employees from improperly influencing government officials or commercial parties in order to obtain or retain business, direct business to any person, or gain any improper advantage. The FCPA and similar applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws also prohibit our third-party business partners from engaging in corruption and bribery. We and our affiliates may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We may be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party business partners, our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. While we have policies and procedures to address compliance with such laws, we cannot assure you that our employees and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies or applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. Any violation of the FCPA or other applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, imposition of significant legal fees, severe criminal or civil sanctions or suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, substantial diversion of management’s attention, a drop in stock price or overall adverse consequences to our business, all of which may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Related to Technology and Data Privacy

Our business depends on the proper functioning, availability, and security of our information systems. Our operations may be disrupted if we are unable to effectively integrate, manage and maintain the security of our information systems.

Our business depends on effective and secure information systems that assist us in, among other things, gathering information to improve the quality of consumer care, optimizing financial performance, and monitoring regulatory compliance. We rely on external service providers to provide continual maintenance, upgrading, and enhancement of our primary information systems used for our operational needs. The software we license for our various client information systems supports intake, personnel scheduling, office clinical and centralized billing and receivables management in an integrated database, enabling us to standardize the care delivered across our network of offices and monitor our performance and consumer outcomes. Information

systems may be vulnerable to damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures, human acts and natural disasters.

To the extent providers fail to support the software or systems, or if we lose our licenses, our operations could be negatively affected. Our business also depends on a comprehensive payroll and human resources system for basic payroll functions and reporting, payroll tax reporting, managing wage assignments and garnishments. We rely on an external service provider to provide continual maintenance, upgrading and enhancement of our primary human resource and payroll systems. To the extent that our provider fails to support the software or systems, or any of the related support services provided by them, our internal operations could be negatively affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic also has led to a substantial increase in administrative employees working remotely and, consequently, accessing our systems remotely. As a result, we are more dependent on our systems that facilitate remote access and potentially could experience increased risks.

We have taken precautionary measures to prevent unanticipated problems that could affect our information systems. We have implemented backup of our key information systems that are designed to allow our operations to failover to our geographically separate disaster recovery datacenter with a quick return to operations for all sites and systems in the event our main datacenter becomes inoperable because of a natural disaster, attacks or other cause. While we believe these measures are reasonable, no system of information security is able to eliminate the risk of business disruptions, and we or our third-party vendors that we rely upon may experience system failures.

If we experience a reduction in the performance, reliability, or availability of our information systems, our operations and ability to process transactions and produce timely and accurate reports could be adversely affected. If we experience difficulties with the transition and integration of information systems or are unable to implement, maintain, or expand our systems properly, we could suffer from, among other things, operational disruptions, regulatory problems, and increases in administrative expenses. The occurrence of any system failure could result in interruptions, delays, the loss or corruption of data and cessations or interruptions in the availability of systems, all of which could have a material, adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and harm our business reputation.

Security breaches, loss of data, and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business, partners, or customers, or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store, use, and disclose sensitive data, including protected health information (“PHI”) and other types of personal data or personally identifiable information (“PII”). We also process and store, and use additional third parties to process and store, sensitive information including intellectual property and other proprietary business information, including that of our partners and customers.

We are dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to securely process, transmit, and store this critical information. Security breaches of this infrastructure, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, and employee or contractor error, negligence, or malfeasance, have created, and can in the future create system disruptions, shutdowns, or unauthorized disclosure or modifications of confidential information, causing health information to be accessed or acquired without authorization or to become publicly available. We utilize third-party service providers for aspects of the collection, storage, and transmission of client information, and other confidential and sensitive information, and therefore rely on third parties to manage functions that have material cybersecurity risks. Because of the sensitivity of the PHI, other PII, and other confidential information, we and our service providers collect, store, transmit, and otherwise process, the security of our technology and other aspects of our services, including those provided or facilitated by our third-party service providers, are important to our operations and

business strategy. We take certain administrative, physical, and technological safeguards to address these risks. However, measures taken to protect our systems, or the PHI, other PII, or other sensitive data we process or maintain, may not adequately protect us from the risks associated with the collection, storage, and transmission of such information. Although we take steps to help protect confidential and other sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or viruses, failures, or breaches due to third-party action, employee negligence or error, malfeasance, or other disruptions.

A security breach or privacy violation that leads to disclosure or unauthorized use or modification of, or that prevents access to or otherwise impacts the confidentiality, security, or integrity of, information, including PHI or other PII, or other sensitive information we maintain or otherwise process, could harm our reputation, compel us to comply with breach notification laws, cause us to incur significant costs for remediation, fines, penalties, notification to individuals and for measures intended to repair or replace systems or technology and to prevent future occurrences, potential increases in insurance premiums, and require us to verify the accuracy of database contents, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue. If we are unable to prevent such security breaches or privacy violations or implement satisfactory remedial measures, or if it is perceived that we have been unable to do so, our operations could be disrupted and could suffer a loss of customers, and we may suffer loss of reputation, adverse impacts on customer and investor confidence, financial loss, governmental investigations or other actions, regulatory or contractual penalties, and other claims and liability. In addition, security breaches and other inappropriate access to, or acquisition or processing of, information can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying such incidents or in providing any notification of such incidents may lead to increased harm.

We have experienced breaches to our systems from time to time. For example, in 2021, we experienced a data breach to our system as a result of a phishing attack. While we could not confirm that any client data was compromised or extricated, out of an abundance of caution, CDH treated the incident as if data had been compromised and took remedial actions to address the incident. The Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) has opened an investigation that may identify additional weaknesses in our systems. Another such breach or interruption of our systems or any of our third-party information technology partners could compromise our networks or data security processes and sensitive information could be inaccessible or could be accessed by unauthorized parties, publicly disclosed, lost, or stolen. Any such interruption in access, improper access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy of customer information or other personal information, and regulatory penalties. Unauthorized access, loss, or dissemination could also disrupt our operations. Any such breach could also result in the compromise of our trade secrets and other proprietary information, which could adversely affect our business and competitive position. While we maintain insurance covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses, we may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.

We rely on Internet infrastructure, bandwidth providers, third-party computer hardware and software, and other third parties for providing services to our customers, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties could negatively impact our relationships with customers, adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our ability to deliver our services depends on the development and maintenance our information technology infrastructure and the Internet. This includes the maintenance of a reliable and continuous network with the necessary speed, data capacity, bandwidth capacity, and security. Our services are designed to operate without interruption. However, we may experience future interruptions and delays in services and availability from time to time. In the event of a catastrophic event with respect to one or more of our systems, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could negatively impact our relationship with customers. The data centers that we use are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, intentional bad acts, earthquakes, floods, fires, severe storms, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events, many of which are beyond our control, any of which could

Table of Contents

disrupt our services, prevent customers from accessing our products, destroy customer data, or prevent us from being able to continuously back up and record data. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these data centers, it may take a significant period of time to achieve full resumption of our services, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities.

As we continue to expand the number of customers to whom we provide our products and services, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate the increased capacity requirements, which may result in interruptions or delays in service. In addition, the failure of our cloud providers or third-party Internet service providers to meet our capacity requirements could result in interruptions or delays in access to our website or impede our ability to scale our operations. In the event there is a lapse of service, interruption of Internet service provider connectivity or damage to such facilities, we could experience interruptions in access to our website as well as delays and additional expense in arranging new facilities and services, which could harm our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

System security and data protection breaches, as well as cyber-attacks, could disrupt our operations, which may damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.

Cyber-attacks, denial-of-service attacks, ransomware attacks, business email compromises, computer malware, viruses, and social engineering (including phishing) are prevalent in today’s business environment. In addition, we may experience attacks, unavailable systems, unauthorized access or disclosure due to employee theft or misuse, denial-of-service attacks, and advanced persistent threat intrusions. The techniques may be used to sabotage or to obtain unauthorized access to our systems, networks, or information, and we may be unable to implement adequate preventative measures or stop security breaches while they are occurring.

We depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, have led to, and in the future could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. We may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents.

Actual or perceived breaches of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about the Company, our customers or third parties could expose us and the parties affected to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, resulting in litigation and potential liability, paying damages, regulatory inquiries or actions, damage to our brand and reputation or other harm to our business. Our efforts to prevent and overcome these challenges could increase our expenses and may not be successful. If we fail to detect or remediate a security breach in a timely manner, or a breach otherwise affects our customers, or if we suffer a cyber-attack that impacts our ability to operate our business, we may suffer material damage to our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Future Growth

Our growth strategy depends on our ability to manage growing and effectively integrating operations and we may not be successful in managing this growth.

Our business plan calls for significant growth in business over the next several years through the expansion of our services in existing markets and the establishment of a presence in new markets. This growth has placed and continues to place significant demands on our management team, systems, internal controls and financial and professional resources. In addition, we will need to further develop our financial controls and reporting systems to accommodate our growth. This could require us to incur expenses for hiring additional qualified personnel, retaining professionals to assist in developing the appropriate control systems and expanding our information technology infrastructure. Our inability to effectively manage growth could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Acquisitions and investments could result in operating difficulties, dilution, and other harmful consequences that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, if we are not able to identify and successfully acquire suitable businesses, our operating results and prospects could be harmed.

As part of our business strategy to extend the provision of in-home care services in additional markets and grow our business in response to changing technologies, provider and beneficiary demand, and competitive pressures, we may in the future make investments or acquisitions in other companies, products, or technologies. The identification of suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. If we do complete acquisitions, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve the goals of such acquisition, and any acquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively by customers, investors or our other stakeholders. The process of integrating an acquired company, business or technology may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas where we face risks include:

 

   

diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to addressing acquisition integration challenges;

 

   

loss of key employees and other challenges associated with integrating new employees into our culture, as well as reputational harm if integration is not successful;

 

   

implementation or remediation of controls, procedures, and policies at the acquired company;

 

   

difficulties in integrating and managing the combined operations, technologies, technology platforms, and solutions of the acquired companies and realizing the anticipated economic, operational, and other benefits in a timely manner, which could result in substantial costs and delays or other operational, technical, or financial problems;

 

   

integration of the acquired company’s accounting, human resource, and other administrative systems, and coordination of product, engineering, and sales and marketing functions;

 

   

failure to successfully further develop the acquired technology or realize our intended business strategy;

 

   

our dependence on unfamiliar affiliates and partners of acquired businesses;

 

   

uncertainty of entry into markets in which we have limited or no prior experience or in which competitors have stronger market positions;

 

   

unanticipated costs associated with pursuing acquisitions;

 

   

failure to successfully onboard customers or maintain brand quality of acquired companies;

 

   

responsibility for the liabilities of acquired businesses, including those that were not disclosed to us or exceed our estimates, as well as, without limitation, liabilities arising out of their failure to maintain effective data protection and privacy controls and comply with applicable regulations;

 

   

inability to maintain our internal standards, controls, procedures, and policies;

 

   

difficulties in complying with antitrust and other government regulations;

 

   

challenges in integrating and auditing the financial statements of acquired companies that have not historically prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP;

 

   

potential accounting charges to the extent intangibles recorded in connection with an acquisition, such as goodwill, trademarks, client relationships, or intellectual property, are later determined to be impaired and written down in value; and

 

   

failure to accurately forecast the impact of an acquisition transaction.

Table of Contents

Future acquisitions could also result in expenditures of significant cash, dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, restrictions on our business, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. In addition, any acquisitions we announce could be viewed negatively by customers, investors or our other stakeholders.

Additionally, competition within our industry for acquisitions of business, technologies, and assets is intense. Even if we are able to identify an acquisition that we would like to consummate, we may not be able to complete the acquisition on commercially reasonable terms or the target may be acquired by another company. We may enter into negotiations for acquisitions that are not ultimately consummated. Those negotiations could result in diversion of management time and significant out-of-pocket costs. If we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions successfully, we may not be able to realize the benefits of these acquisitions, and our operating results could be harmed. If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

We may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may indicate growth.

We have experienced significant growth in the last 30 years. Future revenues may not grow at these same rates or may decline. Our future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our footprint and establish new customer relationships, expand our existing customer relationships, including offering additional solutions to our existing customers, and grow and evolve our solutions with the changing needs of our industry. We can provide no assurances that we will be successful in executing on these growth strategies or that, even if our key metrics would indicate future growth, we will continue to grow our revenue or to generate net income. Our ability to execute on our existing sales pipeline, create additional sales pipelines, and expand our customer base depends on, among other things, the attractiveness of our solutions relative to those offered by our competitors, our ability to demonstrate the value of our existing and future solutions, our ability to foster and develop our existing and new partner relationships, and our ability to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified care workers. In addition, our existing customers may be slower to adopt our solutions than we currently anticipate, which could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, we may be unable to execute our business plan, adequately address competitive challenges or maintain our corporate culture, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our historical growth and expansion increases the complexity of our business and places significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions. We may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and negatively affect our operating results. In the event of continued growth of our operations or in the number of our third-party relationships, our information technology systems and our internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to support our operations. To effectively manage our growth, we must continue to improve our operational, financial, and management processes and systems and to effectively expand, train, and manage our employee base. As our organization continues to grow and we are required to implement more complex organizational management structures, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the benefits of our corporate culture, including our ability to quickly develop and launch new and innovative solutions or execute on our expansion strategy. This could negatively affect our business performance.

The estimates of market size and opportunity and forecasts of market growth included herein have not been established with precision and may prove to be inaccurate. If we overestimate the size and growth opportunities in the markets in which we currently operate, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected and we may not be able to grow the markets for our services as intended or at all. Further, even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business may not grow at similar rates, or at all.

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The estimates in this proxy statement/prospectus

relating to the expected growth of the home care industry, especially in the self-directed home care market, include several key assumptions based on our industry knowledge, industry publications, third-party research and our own market research and estimates, which may fail to accurately reflect market opportunities. Even if the market in which we compete meets our size estimates and forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

Further, we calculate our addressable market based on industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties, which we have not commissioned, and our own internal market research and estimates, which include historical and forecasted data from various states. If any of our assumptions or estimates or these publications, research, surveys or studies prove to be inaccurate then the actual market for our services may be smaller than we expect, and as a result, our growth, revenue and profitability may be limited, and the actual market opportunity could be less than our forecasts.

Risks Related to CDH Becoming a Public Company

We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the listing standards of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. For example, the Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and we may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which will increase our operating expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest substantial resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from business operations to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

As a result of disclosure of information in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in an increased risk of threatened or actual litigation,

Table of Contents

including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and our election to comply with the reduced disclosure requirements as a public company may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the independent auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, being required to provide fewer years of audited financial statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We may lose our emerging growth company status and become subject to the SEC’s internal control over financial reporting management and auditor attestation requirements. If we are unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls, or if our internal controls have a material weakness, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of confidence by stockholders, which could harm our business and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a large accelerated filer, with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have, in any three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) December 31, 2028 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of becoming a public company).

As an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting burdens. Accordingly, the information we provide to our stockholders may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock. In addition, the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. As a result, our operating results and financial statements may not be comparable to the operating results and financial statements of other companies who have adopted the new or revised accounting standards.

Investors may find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile and may decline.

Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.

As a publicly traded company following the Closing, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in internal control. Prior to the Business Combination, Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. has been a private company and has limited accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. In connection with the audit of Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and our independent registered public accounting firm identified

material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. determined that we had a material weakness related to the design of our control environment because we (i) have not implemented an appropriate internal control framework and as such do not have adequate entity level controls, (ii) did not design and implement controls related to the period-end financial close and reporting, including review of manual journal entries and month-end balance sheet reconciliations and the implementation of controls to review the completeness of information used in preparation and review of the financial statements, (iii) did not design and maintain effective controls related to revenue recognition and billing, (iv) did not design and maintain effective information technology general controls to address the appropriateness of use access (including segregation of duties), password security, change management, the monitoring of automated processes, or the evaluation of Security Organization Controls reports provided by third party service providers and (v) did not perform proper technical accounting evaluation over variable interest entities. With the oversight of senior management, Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. is currently in the process of developing a remediation plan to further be implemented in the next fiscal year, which includes (i) implementing an effective controls testing plan, (ii) the implementation of improved accounting and period-end financial reporting procedures, improved billing authorization procedures, enhanced cut-off controls for revenue and cost of services, and controls to improve the review of completeness of information used during its financial reporting cycle, (iii) the establishment of internal controls to maintain segregation of duties between control operators and program change management controls and (iv) implementing improved IT policies, robust passwords, vendor monitoring and controls related to new system implementations. We believe the measures described above, when implemented, will remediate the material weaknesses identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to improving our internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures.

While we are working to design and implement a plan to remediate the material weaknesses described above, we cannot predict the success of such plan or the outcome of our assessment of these plans at this time. If our steps are insufficient to remediate the material weakness successfully and otherwise establish and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the reliability of the Combined Company’s financial reporting, investor confidence in us, and the value of the New Pubco common stock could be materially and adversely affected. We can give no assurance that implementation of the remediation plan will effectively remediate these identified deficiencies in internal control or that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of the Combined Company’s financial statements, causing it to fail to meet its reporting obligations.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected, and our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the applicable listing standards for Nasdaq. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, when required, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control

Table of Contents

over financial reporting, or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, may have an adverse impact on the price of our New Pubco common stock.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. If any of these new or improved controls do not perform as expected, the identified material weaknesses may not be remediated or new material weaknesses could be identified.

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our New Pubco common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers, an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or how costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In addition, although attestation requirements by our independent registered public accounting firm are not presently applicable to us, we could become subject to these requirements in the future, and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any resulting changes to internal control over financial reporting. In the event that our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer determines that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our New Pubco common stock will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be negatively affected.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations and could cause a decline in the price of our [common stock].

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of any material weakness, any restatement of our financial statements, or any other matters that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from any restatement or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on the business of the combined company and its results of operations and financial condition.

We may in the future identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and any such material weakness could adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

To prevent material weaknesses, we have devoted significant effort and resources to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken will prevent any material weaknesses or restatements of financial results to arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis, which may result in a decline in our stock price if such fluctuations result in a failure to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors.

Our operating results have in the past and could in the future vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year and may fail to match our past performance, our projections or the expectations of securities analysts because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and, as a result, should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. As a result, we may not be able to accurately forecast our operating results and growth rate. Any of these events could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate. Factors that may contribute to the variability of our operating results include, but are not limited to: our ability to attract new consumers, retain existing consumers and maximize engagement and enrollment with existing and future consumers; changes in our sales and implementation cycles; new solution introductions and expansions, or challenges with such introductions; changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors; the timing and success of new solution introductions by us or our competitors or announcements by competitors or other third parties of significant new products or acquisitions or entrance into certain markets; any other change in the competitive landscape of our industry, including consolidation among our competitors; increases in operating expenses that we may incur to grow and expand our operations and to remain competitive; our ability to successfully expand our business; breaches of security or privacy; changes in stock-based compensation expenses; the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our business; adverse litigation judgments, settlements, or other litigation-related costs; changes in the legislative or regulatory environment, or enforcement by government regulators, including fines, orders, or consent decrees; the cost and potential outcomes of ongoing or future regulatory investigations or examinations, or of future litigation; changes in our effective tax rate; our ability to make accurate accounting estimates and appropriately

recognize revenue for our solutions for which there are no relevant comparable products; changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles; instability in the financial markets; general economic conditions, both domestic and international; volatility in the global financial markets; political, economic, and social instability, including war, terrorist activities and health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19), and any disruption these events may cause to the global economy; and changes in business or macroeconomic conditions. The impact of one or more of the foregoing or other factors may cause our operating results to vary significantly.

Changes in accounting principles may cause previously unanticipated fluctuations in our financial results, and the implementation of such changes may impact our ability to meet our financial reporting obligations.

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which are subject to interpretation or changes by the FASB, the SEC, and other various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting principles have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future which may have a significant effect on our financial results. Furthermore, any difficulties in implementation of changes in accounting principles, including the ability to modify our accounting systems, could cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, which could result in regulatory discipline and harm investors’ confidence in us.

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and our key metrics require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and amounts reported in our key metrics. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of CDH.” The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant assumptions and estimates were used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

General Risk Factors Relating to New Pubco

We will need to improve our financial and operational systems in order to manage our growth effectively and support our increasingly complex business arrangements, and an inability to do so could harm our business and results of operations.

To manage our growth and our increasingly complex business operations, we will need to upgrade our operational and financial systems and procedures, improve the coordination between our various corporate functions and expand, train and manage our workforce adequately. Our efforts to manage the expansion of our operations may place a significant strain on our management personnel, systems and resources, particularly given the limited amount of financial resources and skilled employees that may be available at the time. When implementing new or changing existing processes, we may encounter transitional issues and incur substantial additional expenses. We cannot be certain that we will institute, in a timely manner or at all, the improvements to our managerial, operational, and financial systems and procedures necessary to support our anticipated increased levels of operations. Delays or problems associated with any improvement or expansion of our operational and financial systems could adversely affect our relationships with our consumers and services providers, harm our reputation and result in errors in our financial and other reporting, any of which could harm our business and operating results.

General business and economic conditions could reduce our sales and profitability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is affected by general business and economic conditions. The global economy has in the past, and will in the future, experience recessionary periods and periods of economic instability. There could be a number of effects from adverse general business and economic conditions on our business, including reduced consumer demand for our services; inability of consumers to pay for in-home personal care services; decreased consumer confidence; decreased discretional spending; and counterparty failures. If such conditions are experienced in future periods, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.

Our operations are subject to many hazards and operational risks inherent to our business, including general business risks, damage to our infrastructure or properties caused by fires, floods and other natural disasters, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, human errors, and similar events.

Although we maintain insurance consistent with industry practice, the insurance we maintain may not be sufficient to satisfy all claims made against us. We cannot assure you that claims will not be made in the future in excess of the limits of our insurance, and any such claims, if successful and in excess of such limits, may have a material adverse effect on our business or assets. We utilize historical data to estimate our reserves for our insurance programs. If losses on asserted claims exceed the current insurance coverage and accrued reserves, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Changes in our annual insurance costs and self-insured retention limits depend in large part on the insurance market, and insurance coverage may not continue to be available to us at commercially reasonable rates, in adequate amounts or on satisfactory terms.

Natural disasters, unusual weather conditions, pandemic or epidemic outbreaks, terrorist acts and political events could disrupt business and result in lower sales and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial performance and results of operations.

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, fires, floods and earthquakes, unusual weather conditions, pandemic or epidemic outbreaks such as COVID-19 or variants, Ebola, Zika or measles, terrorist attacks or disruptive political events, could adversely affect our business. Severe weather, such as hurricanes or extreme temperatures, may restrict the ability of service providers to provide in-home personal care services, thereby reducing our sales and profitability. Natural disasters including hurricanes, tropical storms, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes may damage our facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the disaster recovery and business continuity plans we have in place currently are limited and are unlikely to prove adequate in the event of a serious disaster or similar event. We may incur substantial expenses as a result of the limited nature of our disaster recovery and business continuity plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

DTRT’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

Voting Your Shares

DTRT Stockholders may vote electronically at the Special Meeting or by proxy. DTRT recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting. If you vote by proxy, you may change your vote by submitting a later dated proxy before the deadline or by voting electronically at the Special Meeting.

If your DTRT Shares are owned directly in your name with our Transfer Agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are considered a “non-record (beneficial) stockholder.”

If you are a DTRT Stockholder of record you may use the enclosed proxy card to tell the persons named as proxies how to vote your shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all shares at the meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not mark your card to tell the proxies how to vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” the proposals to adopt the Merger Agreement and the other proposals presented at the Special Meeting.

Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum if you vote:

 

   

by submitting a properly executed proxy card or voting instruction form by mail; or

 

   

electronically at the Special Meeting.

Abstentions will be counted for determining whether a quorum is present for the Special Meeting.

Table of Contents

Voting instructions are printed on the proxy card or voting information form you received. Either method of submitting a proxy will enable your shares to be represented and voted at the Special Meeting.

Voting Shares Held in Street Name

If your DTRT Shares are held in an account through a broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement/prospectus. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your DTRT Shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary.

If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary will not be able to vote your shares on those matters for which specific authorization is required. Brokers do not generally have discretionary authority to vote on any of the proposals.

Broker non-votes are shares held by a broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary that are present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, but with respect to which the broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary is not instructed by the beneficial owner of such shares how to vote on a particular proposal and the broker does not generally have voting power on such proposal. Because brokers, banks and other nominees or intermediaries do not generally have discretionary voting with respect to any of the proposals, if a beneficial owner of DTRT Shares held in “street name” does not give voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee for any proposal, then those shares will not be present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a DTRT Stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting by:

 

   

timely delivering a written revocation letter to the Corporate Secretary of DTRT;

 

   

signing and returning by mail a proxy card with a later date so that it is received prior to the Special Meeting; or

 

   

attending the Special Meeting and voting electronically by visiting the website established for that purpose at [     ] and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke a proxy.

If you are a non-record (beneficial) DTRT Stockholder, you should follow the instructions of your bank, broker or other nominee regarding the revocation of proxies.

Share Ownership and Voting by DTRT’s Officers and Directors

As of the record date, the DTRT directors and officers and their affiliates had the right to vote approximately                DTRT Shares, representing approximately                % of the DTRT Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. DTRT’s Initial Stockholders have entered into a letter agreement with us to vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, and we expect them to vote “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Redemption Rights

Public stockholders may seek to redeem the public shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination or do not vote at the Special Meeting. Any public stockholder may request redemption of their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the shares of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

DTRT’s Initial Stockholders will not have redemption rights with respect to any DTRT Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

   

(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

 

   

prior to                     , New York City time, on                     , 2022, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to the Transfer Agent that DTRT redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker $[80.00] and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming public stockholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their public shares.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so.

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with DTRT’s consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that DTRT instruct the Transfer Agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Table of Contents

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, DTRT will promptly return any public shares previously delivered by public holders.

For illustrative purposes, the cash held in the Trust Account on October 18, 2022 was approximately $234.6 million or $10.20 per public share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, public stockholders should verify the market price of DTRT Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their DTRT Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. DTRT cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their DTRT Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own those public shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your public shares only if you properly exercise your right to redeem your public shares and deliver your DTRT Shares (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent, in each case prior to                         , New York City time, on                     , 2022, the deadline for submitting redemption requests, and the Business Combination is consummated.

Immediately following the Closing, New Pubco will pay public stockholders who properly exercised their redemption rights in respect of their public shares.

Appraisal Rights

Neither DTRT Stockholders nor DTRT warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.

Costs of Solicitation

DTRT will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from DTRT Stockholders.

DTRT will solicit proxies by mail. In addition, the directors, officers and employees of DTRT may solicit proxies from DTRT Stockholders by telephone, electronic communication, or in person, but will not receive any additional compensation for their services. DTRT will make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of DTRT Shares held of record by those persons and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such proxy solicitation materials.

[DTRT has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, [     ], to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. DTRT has agreed to pay [     ] a fee of $[     ], plus disbursements. DTRT will reimburse [     ] for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify [     ] and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. DTRT will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of our common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. DTRT’s management team may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.]

Other Business

DTRT is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting, the proxies will have discretion to vote or act on those matters according to their best judgment and they intend to vote the shares as the DTRT Board may recommend.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

The DTRT Stockholders are being asked to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. All DTRT Stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

DTRT may consummate the Business Combination only if all of the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved by the DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Structure of the Business Combination

The CDH Shareholders will form Newco and contribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of CDH common stock to Newco in exchange for shares of Newco common stock. Grizzly Merger Sub will merge with and into DTRT, DTRT Stockholders will receive shares of New Pubco common stock in exchange for their DTRT Shares, New Pubco Sponsor Warrants in exchange for their Sponsor Warrants, and New Pubco Warrants in exchange for their Public Warrants, and DTRT will be the surviving entity in the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (the “First Merger”), and immediately following the First Merger, DTRT will convert into a limited liability company. Following the First Merger, Newco will merge with and into New Pubco, with New Pubco surviving the merger and the CDH Shareholders receiving cash and shares (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

Consideration to CDH Shareholders

Each share of Newco common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive (a) an amount of cash equal to the CDH Cash Consideration divided by the total number of shares of Newco common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time and (b) a number of shares of New Pubco common stock equal to the CDH Stock Consideration divided by the total number of shares of Newco common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time. Each share of Newco common stock held in the treasury of Newco immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be cancelled and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto.

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination are the result of negotiations between the representatives of DTRT and CDH. The following is a description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting Business Combination.

DTRT is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 19, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. DTRT’s intention was to capitalize on the substantial deal sourcing, investing and operating expertise of its management team and advisors in order to identify and combine with one or more businesses in the healthcare industry, specifically home and community based healthcare services, which may have included home health, personal and private duty care, home-based therapy, adult day care, medical transportation, pediatric health, facility based community services, healthcare information technology and software services, care management, behavioral health, staffing, medical devices, and health and wellness programs, among others.

Throughout the summer of 2021, in addition to conducting general preparations for the launch of DTRT’s initial public offering, the DTRT management team and members of DTRT’s board of directors (the “DTRT Board”) met regularly to develop the criteria that would ultimately be used by management to evaluate potential partners to a business combination (such potential partners, including CDH, are referred to herein as the “Potential Targets”). Although the criteria were still being developed, DTRT’s management also began holding meetings (sometimes including members of the DTRT Board) with Potential Targets. DTRT conducted these market-canvassing meetings with over 50 Potential Targets (including CDH). These meetings with the Potential Targets were preliminary in nature with the intent to “canvass the market” and validate the thesis for DTRT’s initial public offering that there were sufficient Potential Targets for a transaction. The content of the meetings was at most limited to an introduction of the Potential Target to the DTRT team (and vice versa) as well as an overview of special purpose acquisition company transactions in general. As part of these market-canvassing efforts, Mark Heaney (“Mr. Heaney”), DTRT’s chief executive officer, contacted Bill Woody (“Mr. Woody”), one of CDH’s founders, in June 2021. Mr. Heaney knew Mr. Woody from past professional dealings involving Addus Homecare (during Mr. Heaney’s time as the chief executive officer of Addus Homecare) and more recently through other business ventures with which Mr. Heaney was associated. At no point during these market canvassing initiatives, or at any other time prior to the consummation of DTRT’s initial public offering, did DTRT or anyone on its behalf, engage in substantive discussions with respect to an initial business combination.

On September 7, 2021, DTRT consummated its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (including the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option), with each unit consisting of one share of DTRT Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of DTRT’s initial public offering, DTRT consummated the private sale of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants to Sponsor, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of DTRT Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $11,200,000.

After DTRT’s initial public offering, DTRT’s officers, advisors and directors conducted a preliminary review of the Potential Targets with which it held meetings as well as other Potential Targets across several industries including: personal care, home health care, hospice care, pediatric care, rehabilitation, self-directed care, home health franchises, electronic visit verification, staffing, remote monitoring, behavioral health, autism care, wound care, durable medical equipment, programs of all-inclusive care for the elderly, managed care, medical transport and healthcare information technology to identify optimal partners for a business combination. On September 7, 2021, DTRT executed a non-disclosure agreement with CDH and on October 28, 2021, DTRT and CDH executed a letter of intent. In mid-November 2021, DTRT received access to a data room in order to facilitate DTRT’s due diligence review of CDH.

In total, DTRT reviewed over one hundred sixty-six (166) Potential Targets. Of those Potential Targets it was determined that seventy-six (76) of them were not viable candidates for varying reasons including recent events involving the Potential Targets, the timing of a potential transaction with DTRT and its potential impact on the Potential Target and other non-financial factors. Another thirty-eight (38) of the initial one hundred sixty-six (166) Potential Targets were either financially too small or did not otherwise meet several of the criteria identified by DTRT, which included (i) positive value propositions and appropriate unit economics, (ii) a business model that is resilient to economic cycles and/or recessions, (iii) underexploited expansion opportunities, (iv) the ability to benefit from access to the capital markets and public investors, (v) a leading or growing market share relative to peer groups, (vi) talented and motivated management team and (vii) the ability to offer attractive risk-adjusted returns to investors.

DTRT pursued the remaining fifty-two (52) Potential Targets, but in many cases, either the Potential Target did not respond to DTRT’s request to explore a potential business combination or discussions with the Potential Target progressed too slowly and were never substantive.

 

101


Table of Contents

Of the Potential Targets that progressed past preliminary dialogue, DTRT ultimately:

 

   

Entered into non-disclosure agreements (none of which contained any standstills) with six such Potential Targets (including CDH);

 

   

Received management presentations or confidential information memorandums from seven Potential Targets (including CDH);

 

   

Attended additional in-person or virtual meetings with four Potential Targets (including CDH);

 

   

Obtained access to a virtual dataroom, and conducted additional due diligence to varying degrees, with respect to three Potential Targets (including CDH); and

 

   

Presented letters of intent with respect to a business combination to three Potential Targets (CDH, a Potential Target in the home-healthcare space (“Target A”), and another Potential Target in the home-healthcare space (“Target B”)).

Target A entered into exclusivity with a prospective private equity acquiror and terminated discussions with DTRT. With respect to Target B, although DTRT and Target B exchanged several drafts of a letter of intent, DTRT ultimately discontinued discussions with Target B in order to enter into the letter of intent with CDH (such letter of intent is herein referred to as the “LOI”). CDH was preferred over Target B and all other Potential Targets remaining at that time for several reasons, including but not limited to, its payor diversification, its management and infrastructure, its total addressable market and size and growth prospects and the fact that the DTRT management team had significant experience with CDH’s core business of personal care. The DTRT management team believed that this experience would not only de-risk the transaction by facilitating due diligence but would also provide DTRT an opportunity to provide greater value to CDH than it could to other Potential Targets (including Target B).

On September 24, 2021, DTRT held an initial meeting with the Bank of Montana (“BOM”), CDH’s lender and advisor, to discuss the prospects for a potential business combination between DTRT and CDH (the “Business Combination”). For the remainder of September and early October, DTRT, BOM and Ben Bledsoe (“Mr. Bledsoe”), Chief Executive Officer of CDH, participated in multiple telephonic conferences. These calls were introductory in nature and provided an opportunity for the DTRT team and CDH management to meet each other. During the course of these calls, DTRT also provided the CDH team with its views on the potential benefits to CDH of the Business Combination. There was some high-level discussion regarding how valuation is established in a SPAC transaction generally, including financial metrics and comparisons versus peers.

Also in early October, DTRT held several telephonic and virtual meetings with BOM where the high-level terms of the Business Combination were discussed. The focus of these discussions was the expected valuation range as well as the key underlying assumptions surrounding that valuation. Additionally, DTRT and BOM discussed anticipated sources and uses for the Business Combination and the composition of cash and stock consideration to be received by the CDH Shareholders.

These preliminary discussions also afforded DTRT an opportunity to perform preliminary business and financial diligence. DTRT and BOM discussed historical and projected financial performance, the experience of CDH’s management team and CDH’s current infrastructure and anticipated short term needs. In addition, DTRT and BOM discussed potential market reactions to CDH’s recent expansion of operations in the State of Washington, which the parties believed presented the potential to not only grow the business in the State of Washington, but also to enhance the profile and credibility of CDH in a manner that would allow it to gain similar wins in other geographies.

On October 7, 2021, the DTRT Board held a telephonic conference with Winston & Strawn LLP, DTRT’s legal counsel (“Winston”), to provide an update regarding these discussions with CDH and to discuss the potential terms that DTRT would propose in a draft LOI if one were to be sent to CDH.

 

102


Table of Contents

Following this meeting of the DTRT Board, DTRT sent a preliminary draft of the LOI to BOM on October 11, 2021. On October 12, 2021, DTRT and BOM met via teleconference to discuss the terms of the LOI. During this call, BOM conveyed an initial request from CDH to revise the LOI to ensure that the cash consideration of $134 million payable to the CDH Shareholders was a guaranteed payment at the Closing (rather than being subject to reduction in the event there were insufficient funds). BOM also encouraged DTRT to reduce its request to select three of seven members of the combined company’s board of directors.

On October 12, 2021, CDH engaged Holland & Hart LLP (“H&H”) as its legal counsel to provide advice in connection with the LOI, the Business Combination and related matters.

DTRT submitted a revised draft of an LOI to CDH on October 14, 2021. This draft of the LOI ascribed a pre-closing enterprise valuation to CDH of $522 million based on a 14.5x multiple on CDH’s then-projected pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for fiscal year 2022 of $36.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of this draft of the LOI, the shareholders of CDH would receive $134 million of cash consideration as a guaranteed payment if the Closing of the Business Combination were to occur, with the reminder of the deal consideration to be in the form of stock consideration, which would be valued at $10.20 per share. The 14.5x multiple represented a discount to the multiples ascribed to comparable companies, which were then trading at between 16-18x EBITDA.

This draft of the LOI also contemplated:

 

   

A $5 million cash bonus for management and certain post-closing equity bonuses;

 

   

An adjustment to the stock consideration payable to the CDH Shareholders based upon a working capital, net debt adjustment and certain transaction expenses;

 

   

A cap on the amount of CDH’s financial advisor expenses that would be borne by CDH, with the remainder being paid out of the cash consideration by the CDH Shareholders;

 

   

A restrictive covenant agreement provided by the CDH Shareholders that contemplated 5-year non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions; and

 

   

Exclusivity of 120 days binding on CDH, but not DTRT.

In framing its request for exclusivity, DTRT took into consideration both the work required to position CDH to go public and the significant demands on CDH’s time with respect to operating its business, including in connection with ensuring the smooth expansion of operations in the State of Washington.

After submission of the draft LOI, DTRT held a telephonic conference with BOM on October 19, 2021 to discuss CDH’s reaction to the draft LOI (including the lack of a requirement that CDH Shareholders receive tax-free treatment with respect to the stock consideration and the fact that the exclusivity was binding on CDH but not DTRT). DTRT and BOM also discussed anticipated sources of financing for the Business Combination and whether to pursue large debt financing solutions that could provide all the capital required to pay the cash consideration and transaction expenses or – CDH’s preference – to pursue both debt and equity (or convertible equity) solutions. As part of these discussions, DTRT agreed to pursue both debt and equity financing.

From October 19, 2021 to October 22, 2021, members of DTRT management held multiple telephonic conferences with BOM and CDH to further discuss the terms of the LOI.

On October 22, 2021, BOM sent an updated draft of the LOI to DTRT which included:

 

   

The requirement that the shareholders of CDH receive tax-free treatment with respect to the stock consideration;

 

   

A $10 million cap on the working capital adjustment; and

 

   

Exclusivity binding on CDH for 120 days and exclusivity binding on DTRT starting 60 days after execution of the LOI and continuing for 60 days thereafter.

 

103


Table of Contents

DTRT management deliberated over the request for DTRT to be bound by exclusivity. DTRT management believed, on the basis of its conversations with BOM and CDH, that DTRT exclusivity was an important factor for CDH to proceed further in discussions with DTRT on a Business Combination. However, DTRT management nonetheless considered whether to propose DTRT exclusivity of a shorter duration. DTRT management believed that this exclusivity period would provide CDH with the strong signal of partnership that CDH was seeking. Furthermore, DTRT management believed that – in light of the significant constraints on CDH’s time in connection with the expansion of operations in the State of Washington – this exclusivity period likely reflected the minimum time necessary to conduct due diligence, negotiate definitive documents, raise capital and strongly position CDH for the announcement of a Business Combination. In considering the length of the exclusivity period, DTRT management also considered the status of discussions with other Potential Targets (of which only discussions with Target B had reached negotiations on a letter of intent) and the likely market reception to a transaction with such other Potential Targets, including Target B. Ultimately, DTRT management believed that although the path to announcing and closing a Business Combination may be longer with CDH than with other Potential Targets, CDH was committed to the endeavor and a Business Combination with CDH provided DTRT Stockholders with a unique value creation opportunity.

After this internal deliberation, DTRT and BOM held a telephonic conference on October 26, 2021 to discuss and finalize the terms of the LOI for presentation to the DTRT Board. The key open issues were resolved as follows:

 

   

Based on its structuring work to date, DTRT was comfortable providing an assurance in the LOI that the transaction would be structured in a manner designed to provide CDH Shareholders with tax-free treatment on the stock consideration.

 

   

In addition, DTRT was amenable to the proposed cap on the working capital adjustment and to increasing management transaction bonuses from $5 million to $8 million.

 

   

DTRT agreed to a mutual exclusivity period of 120 days.

On October 28, 2021, the DTRT Board held a telephonic conference for management to provide the DTRT Board with a detailed background of CDH, the history of discussions with CDH to date, CDH’s business and customer profile, the proposed terms of the LOI (including that the LOI ascribed a $522 million Enterprise Value to CDH based on the projected EBITDA that CDH provided to DTRT for fiscal year 2022 of $36 million) and risk considerations (including the fact that the LOI contained a mutual 120-day exclusivity provision and that significant financial diligence had not been conducted on the EBITDA projections provided by CDH to DTRT). The DTRT Board held an extensive discussion on the terms of the LOI, including the 120-day mutual exclusivity provision (and the factors considered by management with respect to such exclusivity provision). Management noted for the DTRT Board that they believed CDH was the ideal business combination candidate for a number of reasons including the size and maturity of CDH, the experience of the management team, the initial projected adjusted pro-forma EBITDA provided by CDH and CDH’s recent significant expansion into the State of Washington. At the end of the meeting, the DTRT Board determined that entering into the LOI was in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and approved the entry into the LOI.

Later in the day, DTRT and CDH entered into the LOI.

Following the execution of the LOI through the execution of the Merger Agreement, DTRT and CDH, together with BOM, held in-person or virtual meetings at least twice a week.

During November 2021 these meetings focused on, among other things, overall transaction workstreams and timeline, as well as the retention of various advisors to assist the parties in connection with the Business Combination. While each party was ultimately responsible for hiring its own advisors, in the spirit of partnership, the parties often discussed potential advisors and the reasoning behind the choices.

 

104


Table of Contents

During the course of these discussions, DTRT indicated to CDH that it needed to engage an investment bank to act as capital markets advisor and additional advisors to assist it with its due diligence endeavors. It was determined by the parties that CDH needed to engage (i) an accounting advisor to assist it in, among other things, preparing to become a public company (including in connection with preparing PCAOB financial statements for audit), and (ii) an independent auditor to audit its 2020 and 2021 financial statements. Ultimately, each party’s advisors were selected for a variety of reasons including but not limited to availability, cost and the advisor’s qualification within the industry and involvement with companies and transactions of similar nature, scope and size.

In addition to the pre-existing engagement of BOM and H&H, CDH engaged (i) a national consulting firm on January 1, 2022 to assist with preparing to become a public company and the production of PCAOB financial statements, and (ii) BDO LLP on February 21, 2022 as its independent auditor to audit CDH’s financial statements for 2020 and 2021.

In December 2021, DTRT engaged (i) CohnReznick to perform quality of earnings, technology, tax and other accounting/financial diligence on the financial statements and operations of CDH, (ii) Health Management Associates to provide a general market assessment with respect to the outlook for self-directed personal care programs, as well as specific diligence of CDH’s self-directed personal care attendant programs, in certain key states in which CDH operated, (iii) Berkeley Research Group, LLC to perform diligence with respect to state markets, referral sources, competition and Medicaid compliance, and (iv) NFP Corp. to review the health, welfare and retirement benefits CDH provided to its employees as well as CDH’s insurance policies. Winston was already engaged by DTRT as legal counsel, and in connection with DTRT’s evaluation of the Business Combination would conduct legal diligence covering general corporate matters, customer/supplier contracts, indebtedness, intellectual property, healthcare and other regulatory compliance matters, data privacy, cybersecurity, real property and labor and employee benefits.

During the month of January 2022, DTRT interviewed various investment banks to serve as its financial advisor in connection with the Business Combination. At the end of this process, DTRT determined to engage Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“Deutsche Bank”), and executed an engagement letter with Deutsche Bank on January 14, 2022. On September 28, 2022, DTRT and Deutsche Bank entered into an amendment to this engagement letter pursuant to which, among other things, DTRT appointed Deutsche Bank to also act as its capital markets advisor.

In addition to discussing potential advisors and diligence workstreams, the twice-weekly meetings between DTRT and CDH during the months of January and February were also used as a forum for (i) the parties to discuss the CohnReznick databook based on CDH revenue through November 2021, building of the financial model, projections and pro forma capitalization table, as well as refinements to the foregoing based on CDH’s performance (including with respect to the expansion of its operations into the State of Washington), (ii) CDH to provide general business updates to DTRT, (iii) the parties to discuss the various Business Combination workstreams and identify areas that could impact timing of the Business Combination and (iv) discussion of the status of the audit of CDH’s financial statements. During these meetings, the parties also worked together to prepare and hone a presentation to be utilized in connection with outreach to potential lenders and prospective equity investors.

During the entire diligence process, approximately 5,000 documents were uploaded into the virtual dataroom for review by DTRT and DTRT’s advisors, and DTRT’s advisors conducted numerous due diligence sessions with CDH’s management team.

DTRT and its advisors also commenced detailed discussions with CDH and its advisors in order to align on the appropriate structure for the Business Combination. As the tax-deferred treatment of stock consideration to the CDH Shareholders had been a key consideration for CDH in connection with the entry into the LOI, the focus of the discussions related to various alternative structuring options that were expected to deliver this desired

result. At the direction of DTRT, Winston prepared a slide deck presenting three potential structuring alternatives for the Business Combination, each of which would provide tax-deferred treatment for the stock consideration received by CDH Shareholders. Winston sent an initial draft of this presentation to H&H on December 15, 2021. On December 16, 2021, Winston and H&H discussed the presentation and structuring alternatives. The following day, Winston sent to H&H an updated presentation that incorporated adjustments to the presentation based on H&H’s input.

Thereafter, CDH reviewed the presentation and the structuring alternatives with H&H and the national consulting firm engaged to assist CDH with preparing to become a public company. Based on such discussions, CDH and DTRT agreed to pursue the structure referred to as a “double-dummy” structure. This decision was made because CDH determined that the “double-dummy” structure accommodated the CDH goal of providing tax-deferred treatment for the stock consideration received by CDH Shareholders, while also having the virtue of overall simplicity relative to the other structuring alternatives.

Concurrent with these structuring discussions, DTRT was also focused on conducting diligence with respect to the expansion of operations by CDH into the State of Washington. This focused review included diligence of the contract entered into with respect thereto and on the corporate structuring utilized to implement the expansion into the State of Washington through CDH’s subsidiary, Consumer Direct Care Washington, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“CD Washington”).

As part of this review, Winston identified that CD Washington had Home Care Workers Purpose Trust, a Delaware Noncharitable Purpose Trust (“HCT”), as a minority shareholder. As explained to DTRT, the reason for this minority interest was that a relationship with HCT, and HCT providing oversight of the operations in Washington, was believed by CDH to be of operational and strategic importance. DTRT and its advisors believed that the minority interest may prove confusing to the public markets and was not necessary to serve the interests of HCT that were described to DTRT as HCT’s motivations for the minority interest.

In late December 2021, DTRT determined that it had sufficient information to begin work on a draft of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, on January 19, 2022, Winston sent an initial draft of the Merger Agreement to H&H, so that the Merger Agreement could be advanced in parallel with DTRT’s ongoing due diligence initiatives. Shortly after the delivery of the initial draft of the Merger Agreement, on February 8, 2022, Winston sent initial drafts of several ancillary documents to H&H including the Stockholders Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor Agreement and the Lockup Agreement.

While this work to prepare and negotiate definitive documentation was ongoing, DTRT engaged in discussions with respect to a potential restructuring of the HCT arrangements. As part of these discussions, DTRT and CDH focused on formulating a restructuring proposal to present to HCT, whereby HCT would exchange its minority equity interests in CD Washington for shares of New Pubco. During the course of these discussions, it was determined that oversight of the operations in the State of Washington continued to be a motivating interest for HCT. As a result, the restructuring would also include a management services agreement for HCT with respect to the operations of CD Washington, as well as certain governance rights at CD Washington.

CDH first presented the proposal to HCT in May 2022 and throughout the summer CDH and HCT held several meetings to discuss the overall Business Combination between CDH and DTRT and the details of the exchange of HCT’s interest in CD Washington for shares of New Pubco. The definitive documents for the restructuring were ultimately executed in September 2022. See “Ancillary Agreements Related to the Business Combination  Equity Exchange Agreement ” for a discussion of the material terms of these definitive documents.

Meanwhile, throughout the months of January and February 2022, DTRT and CDH continued to conduct twice-weekly virtual meetings in which the parties continued to refine the financial forecasts, provide status updates on the various workstreams of the Business Combination and due diligence initiatives, and discuss the

status of operations ramping up in the State of Washington. Over these same months, work also began in earnest with respect to the audit of CDH’s financial statements for fiscal years 2020 and 2021.

During this timeframe, CDH also engaged in internal discussions with H&H and its other advisors regarding the Merger Agreement and other ancillary documents provided by DTRT with respect to the Business Combination. However, with the focus on (i) ramping up operations in Washington, (ii) beginning the audit process and (iii) refining the financial forecasts, by the end of the initial exclusivity period under the LOI, CDH and H&H had not yet provided a revised draft of the Merger Agreement and ancillary documents.

As a result, DTRT and CDH agreed to extend the exclusivity period in the LOI through the beginning of April 2022. This exclusivity period was ultimately extended multiple times until the Merger Agreement was executed.

During March 2022, DTRT and its advisors continued to conduct diligence (including through site visits, document review and management interviews). DTRT also reviewed the status of its advisors’ due diligence efforts to date in order to understand outstanding and supplemental diligence requests. As a result of this review, Winston and DTRT’s management held telephonic conferences with certain members of CDH’s management and H&H on April 14, 2022 and April 15, 2022 to address certain supplemental diligence requests.

During March 2022, CDH also continued to refine the financial forecasts (based in-part on the successful ramp-up of operations in the State of Washington).

As a result of an updated transaction structure agreed upon between CDH and DTRT, Winston sent H&H an updated draft of the Merger Agreement on April 8, 2022 that incorporated the updated structure. Then, on April 15, 2022, H&H sent Winston an updated draft of the Merger Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor Agreement, the Lockup Agreement and the Stockholders Agreements and an initial draft of the disclosure schedules.

From April 15, 2022 to the beginning of June 2022, the parties and their respective counsels traded several drafts of the Merger Agreement. These drafts incorporated updates to the structure of the Business Combination that were designed to minimize contractual consents, while still ensuring that the pre-closing CDH Shareholders would not be taxed on the stock consideration even if the SPAC incurred high redemptions and the transaction was fully financed with debt.

In addition, throughout these drafts, the parties attempted to come to an agreement on several open points, including the following:

 

   

An increase in the total value of the consideration to be received by the CDH Shareholders (to among other things, reflect the overall increase in value of CDH as a result of the successful on-ramp of the Washington contract);

 

   

The addition of a positive adjustment to the stock consideration for any tax deductions available to the combined company resulting from certain transaction expenses;

 

   

The inclusion of additional transaction expenses, including printer and mailing fees and public company preparedness fees, that would be borne by CDH and credited back to the CDH Shareholders in the form of increased stock consideration;

 

   

The scope of the interim operating covenants applicable to CDH;

 

   

The mechanics of the working capital adjustment; and

 

   

The appropriate minimum amount of cash, if any, required to close the Business Combination.

The parties also negotiated key terms of the ancillary agreements, including the following:

 

   

Demand rights and related expense reimbursements with respect to underwritten offerings and block trades involving both the CDH Shareholders and the Sponsor;

 

   

The lock-up applicable to both the CDH Shareholders and the Sponsor;

 

   

The circumstances in which certain officers, directors and stockholders of the parties would be entitled to indemnification and expense reimbursement from New Pubco; and

 

   

The size of the proposed long term incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan.

In addition, CDH, with input from DTRT, began to negotiate new employment arrangements with certain members of the executive team.

Also, during this timeframe, BDO continued to work on the audited financial statements of CDH, CDH continued to revise its internal projections and the parties continued to work on an investment presentation for potential lenders and PIPE investors.

By late May 2022, it had become clear that the market landscape for transactions involving SPACs had shifted significantly in a few key ways:

 

   

The high levels of redemptions applicable to deSPAC transactions were unlikely to reverse anytime soon; and

 

   

The market for PIPE transactions had continued to deteriorate, with many prospective PIPE investors either unwilling to commit funds at all or now requiring structured products (such as preferred equity or convertible notes) in lieu of common stock (even common stock at a significant discount).

On May 25, 2022, the DTRT Board met and received an update on the transaction, including with respect to work related to the audit of CDH’s financial statements and the ongoing work of management of CDH to finalize the financial model and forward-looking projections. The DTRT Board also discussed accounting matters (such as revenue recognition policies) that required finalization prior to completing the financial model and forward-looking projections. The DTRT Board also discussed the changing market conditions, including the potential negative impact on a PIPE transaction, and various alternatives (including financing the Business Combination with debt). In particular, the DTRT Board and DTRT management were concerned that the terms of any such PIPE transaction may be unnecessarily dilutive to the equity holders of New Pubco, particularly in light of the view held by DTRT management that the Business Combination could be financed entirely with debt financing.

Following the DTRT Board meeting on May 25, 2022, DTRT discussed with CDH focusing their capital-raising initiatives on debt financing, while – in response to CDH’s desire to maintain minimal debt leverage—nonetheless maintaining the flexibility to raise capital from the equity markets.

Towards the end of June 2022, CDH and DTRT (with the help of their respective financial and legal advisors) finalized a presentation for potential lenders to solicit term sheets for debt financing arrangements for the Business Combination. As part of these initiatives, DTRT reached out to 27 potential debt financing sources. Of these debt financing sources, 25 requested to receive the presentation for potential lenders. After conducting virtual meetings with 23 potential lenders, DTRT and CDH received four term sheets for debt financing arrangements, including a letter of intent from the eventual debt financing partner (the “Debt Partner”).

From mid-July 2022 to late August 2022, DTRT met with CDH and BOM several times to discuss the terms sheets that DTRT had received for debt financing. The parties ultimately agreed to negotiate the letter of intent with the Debt Partner and, on September 28, 2022, CDH ultimately executed a non-binding letter of intent with the Debt Partner for up to $150 million in debt financing. The parties anticipate that, on a consolidated basis, the proceeds from the debt financing with the Debt Partner, together with CDH’s cash on its balance sheet at closing, will be sufficient to pay the cash consideration to the CDH Shareholders and DTRT’s and BOM’s transaction expenses.

The changing market conditions also impacted how the parties negotiated the Merger Agreement. For example, in July and August 2022, the parties (with the help of their counsel) agreed to try to execute definitive documentation and announce the Business Combination prior to having the debt and/or equity financing commitments fully committed. In pursuit of this goal, Winston and H&H traded several drafts of the Merger Agreement and the parties and their counsel and other advisors held several virtual negotiation sessions. In an effort to respond to the challenging market and allow flexibility to react to further changes, DTRT agreed to provide CDH a consent right over all debt and equity financing that was entered into between the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Business Combination and to provide CDH the ability to terminate the Merger Agreement if the board of directors of CDH withdrew its recommendation with respect to the Business Combination. In addition, certain terms in the Merger Agreement were discussed and ultimately agreed to as a function of general market conditions, including, but not limited to, a reduction to the initial cash consideration to be paid to the CDH Shareholders (to preserve cash on the combined company’s balance sheet), the addition of an adjustment to the cash consideration to make the CDH Shareholders “whole” for any adverse tax consequences that result from CDH’s change in its accounting method from cash basis to accrual basis for the 2022 fiscal year, the inclusion of certain exceptions to the restrictions on the operation of each party’s business between signing and closing, the removal of certain closing conditions related to debt ratios and/or minimum cash conditions and the condition related to the combined company’s debt to equity value ratio, the circumstances (if any) in which termination fees and/or expense reimbursements would be paid by either party and an overall cap on damages. The parties also negotiated key terms of the ancillary agreements, including demand rights and related expense reimbursements with respect to underwritten offerings and block trades involving both the CDH Shareholders and the Sponsor, the lock-up applicable to both the CDH Shareholders and the Sponsor, the circumstances in which certain officers, directors and stockholders of the parties would be entitled to indemnification and expense reimbursement from the post-closing combined company and the size of the proposed long term incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan. By the end of August 2022, DTRT and CDH had negotiated nearly all open items in the Merger Agreement and ancillary documents (other than the mechanics for determining the target working capital).

Given the amount of time that had elapsed between the initial quality of earnings analysis, which was based on November 2021 month-end financial data provided by CDH and CDH’s financial performance in the interim (including the roll-out of significant operations in the State of Washington), DTRT asked Cohn Reznick to update its financial diligence work and provide a quality of earnings report based on CDH’s most recently available month-end financial information (which at the time was for March 2022).

In early August 2022, in response to changing market conditions for deSPAC transactions, including as a result of proposed new rules promulgated by the SEC, DTRT held discussions with several banks with respect to engaging them to provide an opinion on the Business Combination. After having narrowed the list of candidates down to three firms, DTRT selected Lincoln to conduct an analysis of the proposed Business Combination and to provide an opinion as to whether the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the proposed Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the holders of DTRT’s common stock other than: (i) the Sponsor; (ii) holders of DTRT common stock who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination; and (iii) officers, directors or affiliates of DTRT or the Sponsor (the “DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders”). In selecting Lincoln, the DTRT Board considered, among other things, the fact that Lincoln is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities, especially in the healthcare industry, and the provision of fairness opinions in connection with various transactions. DTRT and Lincoln subsequently entered into a written engagement letter formalizing the terms of Lincoln’s engagement with DTRT.

During this timeframe, CDH received additional data from the State of Washington regarding, among other things, the population served. CDH and DTRT believed this new data might have a positive impact on the results of operations of CDH and its forward-looking projections. Accordingly, in August and September 2022, CDH and DTRT reviewed this new data in order to, among other things, ensure its accuracy and determine its impact on the results of operations of CDH and its forward-looking projections.

On August 11, 2022, the DTRT Board held a video meeting to provide the board members with an update on the Business Combination and conduct general housekeeping matters. Mr. Robbins and Mr. Sheehan provided an update to the DTRT Board on the negotiation of, and preparations for, the Business Combination, including the status of the financial model, BDO’s audit of CDH and the debt and equity financing raises. During the course of these discussions, Mr. Sheehan advised the DTRT Board that CDH had continued to outperform expectations, including by achieving June EBITDA that was significantly higher than expected. Mr. Sheehan advised the DTRT Board that, as a result of this outperformance and additional data provided by the State of Washington, financial performance in 2023 was expected to be materially stronger than what had previously been expected and the management of CDH and DTRT were working together to revise the financial model and the forward-looking projections. The DTRT Board then discussed whether such financial outperformance and stronger forward-looking projections would result in a request by CDH to increase the enterprise valuation ascribed to the Business Combination. However, DTRT management advised the DTRT Board of their belief that CDH would continue to honor the enterprise valuation previously agreed upon (when peer multiples had been higher, but expectations with respect to CDH’s financial performance were lower). Winston then advised the members of the DTRT Board of their fiduciary duties in connection with the potential Business Combination and provided the DTRT Board with a high-level review of the key Merger Agreement terms (as well as points that remained subject to negotiation).

On September 22, 2022, the DTRT Board held a video meeting to provide the board with an update on the Business Combination. Mr. Heaney provided an update to the DTRT Board regarding the status of the Business Combination, including that the parties were very close to presenting a final Merger Agreement for the DTRT Board’s consideration. He also provided an overview of CDH’s financial out-performance compared to initial expectations when the LOI was signed, as well as CDH’s continued growth prospects. Mr. Sheehan then provided the DTRT Board with a more detailed review of CDH’s financial performance and the extent of the work undertaken by both DTRT and CDH management to ensure a high level of confidence in CDH achieving such forward-looking projections. He also reminded the DTRT Board that CDH’s continued outperformance (including based on the additional data received from the State of Washington) had required the forward-looking projections to be updated during the months of August and September to properly reflect such outperformance and discussed the revised forward-looking projections that resulted from that work. The DTRT Board then discussed the enterprise valuation ascribed to CDH in connection with the Business Combination, noting that although peer multiples had trended downward since the execution of the LOI, CDH’s outperformance in that same timeframe resulted in the enterprise valuation continuing to represent a fair value for DTRT and its stockholders. After receiving an update on, among other things, the status of capital raising initiatives and documentation related to the Business Combination (including the Merger Agreement), Mr. Heaney concluded the meeting by indicating that the DTRT Board would be asked to meet in the coming days in order to approve the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.

On September 27, 2022, the DTRT Board held a video meeting to consider the terms of the Merger Agreement and the other definitive agreements contemplated thereby, with representatives of Winston and Lincoln also in attendance. At this meeting, Winston summarized the material transaction terms in the Merger Agreement and the ancillary transaction documents and for the Business Combination for the DTRT Board. Following the overview provided by Winston, representatives of Lincoln reviewed with the DTRT Board Lincoln’s financial analysis of the proposed Business Combination and rendered an oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the effect that, as of that date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Lincoln as set forth in its written opinion, the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders.

Following Lincoln’s presentation, Deutsche Bank led a discussion with the DTRT Board regarding valuations that may be ascribed to CDH in connection with the Business Combination. After this discussion, Deutsche Bank summarized for the DTRT Board the post-signing action steps that Deutsche Bank, CDH and DTRT would take.

The comparable companies considered by DTRT were (i) Addus HomeCare Corporation, (ii) Amedisys, Inc., (iii) Aveanna Helthcare Holdings Inc., (iv) Enhabit, Inc., (v) Modivcare Inc. and (vi) the Pennant Group. Among this group, Addus HomeCare Corporation, Amdisys, Inc. and Aveanna Healthcare Holdings Inc. were viewed to be the most comparable companies to CDH. Both during and after these summary reviews, the DTRT Board engaged in extensive discussion, including with respect to the certainty of closing the Business Combination and with respect to DTRT’s obligations between signing the Merger Agreement and closing the Business Combination.

Following discussion, the DTRT Board determined that proceeding with the Business Combination was in the best interests of DTRT and all of its stockholders and unanimously approved DTRT’s entry into the Merger Agreement and the other definitive agreements.

On September 28, 2022, the parties entered into the Merger Agreement and the other definitive agreements contemplated thereby. On September 29, 2022, DTRT and CDH issued a press release announcing the entry into the Merger Agreement.

DTRT Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

On September 27, 2022, the DTRT Board (i) approved the execution of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) directed that the Merger Agreement, related transaction documentation and other proposals necessary to consummate the Business Combination be submitted to the stockholders of DTRT for approval and adoption, and recommended that our stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, related transaction documentation and such other proposals. Before reaching its decision, the DTRT Board discussed and reviewed with management the results of management’s due diligence, which included:

 

   

public research on industry trends, trading volume projections and other industry factors;

 

   

extensive meetings, calls and virtual conferences with CDH’s management team and representatives regarding operations, company services, financial prospects, ramp-up of the expansion of operations in the State of Washington, and the pipeline of potential new contracts, among other customary due diligence matters;

 

   

review of CDH’s material business including corporate books and records, customer contracts, government regulations, information technology and certain other legal and environmental due diligence;

 

   

financial and accounting diligence; and

 

   

refinement of the financial model in conjunction with management of CDH.

The DTRT Board considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the DTRT Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Different individual members of the DTRT Board may have given different weight to different factors in their evaluation of the Business Combination.

In the prospectus for its IPO, DTRT identified the following general criteria and guidelines that it believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses, although DTRT indicated it may enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines.

 

   

Subsector Attractiveness and Market Position: DTRT targeted companies with favorable macro industry dynamics, specifically involving regulatory and reimbursement opportunities.

 

   

Valuation Proposition and Unit Economics: DTRT focused on target entities with a commitment to clinical and quality excellence which provide high levels of healthcare services on the right side of the cost equation, driving improved health for patients, cost savings for payors and high returns and

 

111


Table of Contents
 

attractive unit economics for investors. In particular, DTRT targeted entities that had sufficient size and density within their geographies to generate meaningful positive patient outcomes and who were well-positioned to enter into risk-based reimbursement strategies.

 

   

Business Model/Stage: DTRT searched for companies that were resilient to economic cycles and at an inflection point where they are able to create stockholder value by developing and monetizing new products or services.

 

   

Organic and Acquisition Growth Potential: DTRT sought potential targets with significant embedded and/or underexplored expansion opportunities.

 

   

Competitive Position: DTRT searched for companies with leading or growing market share relative to its peer group.

 

   

Management Team: DTRT was focused on companies with strong, experienced and well-rounded management teams already in place.

 

   

Will Benefit from Access to Public Investors: DTRT sought public-company ready targets with strong management, corporate governance, internal policies and procedures and general culture to provide for a successful transition into the public markets.

 

   

Will Offer Attractive Risk-Adjusted Returns to Stockholders: DTRT targeted to consummate a transaction on terms and in a manner that maximized the potential upside from growth in the target business’ earnings and improved capital structure and minimized any identified downside risk.

These illustrative criteria were not intended to be exhaustive. DTRT stated in the prospectus for its IPO that any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination would be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that its management may deem relevant; provided, however, that DTRT may enter into a business combination with a company that does not meet some or all of these guidelines.

In considering the Business Combination, the DTRT Board concluded that it met all the above criteria. In particular, the DTRT Board considered the following positive factors, although the DTRT Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Different individual members of the DTRT Board may have given different weight to different factors in their evaluation of the Business Combination.

 

   

Addressable Market: The total addressable market for home care is approximately $110 billion with an anticipated compound annual growth rate of 5.1% from 2021 to 2026. We estimate that the personal care market makes up $81 billion of that market and is one of the fastest-growing segments of the economy with home care workers’ anticipated job growth through 2029 doubling that of the next-fastest growing profession. CDH is already a leading provider of personal care solutions with more than 70,000 clients and 95,000 active caregivers across 14 states with 66 payor sources.

 

   

Regulatory Support: We believe the home care market, which is intended to defer and deflect from hospitalization and nursing homes, enjoys bipartisan support (with respect to Medicaid). In addition, the evolving reimbursement landscape included the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which provides for a 10% increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid home and community based services from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022 if certain conditions are met, incentivizing states to initiate or expand their HCBS programs with funds available for use until March 31, 2025. CDH’s business is overwhelmingly delivered under state government contracts where there is a guaranteed term, guaranteed rates and complete or substantial exclusivity. Given its long history focused on self-directed care, CDH believes it is a pioneer in the self-directed market, where clients select their own caregiver rather than have one assigned by a staffing agency.

Table of Contents
   

Scalable Business Model: The home care business model is a streamlined business model with high cash flows. Consumers receive care in their home and the government is the payor. CDH contracts with federal and state governmental agencies (including the Veterans’ Administration) and private insurers to handle direct care and administrative functions to support the provision of care.

 

   

Reduced Staffing Dependency: Because many providers are identified by a client through the client’s existing community contacts and often involve a pre-existing personal relationship, CDH’s model generally results in lower levels of third-party staffing dependency, which helps shield the business from the industry’s acute labor shortage, lessening the overhead and inefficiencies involved in recruitment, churn and staffing agency models.

 

   

Robust Team: CDH’s management team has considerable experience in the personal care industry and has a strong track record of being able to win bids for additional services in new markets.

 

   

Value to Stockholders: The Business Combination implies a $527 million pre-closing enterprise value which represents a sizeable discount to public trading market valuations of comparable companies across other home care providers. The set of comparable companies to CDH was selected based on the existing universe of publicly traded companies at the time of approval of the transaction.

Under the Merger Agreement, DTRT has agreed to indirectly acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of CDH for approximately $527 million in aggregate consideration (to be paid in cash and shares of common stock of New Pubco at a price of $10.20 per share). The cash consideration is expected to be $118.35 million, subject to the following adjustments: (i) certain advisor expenses will be paid out of such cash consideration on behalf of the CDH Shareholders; and (ii) an increase for certain tax adjustments. The remainder of the aggregate consideration will be paid in shares of common stock of New Pubco. The stock consideration is subject to the following adjustments: (i) an increase for CDH’s cash on hand as of closing; (ii) a decrease for CDH’s indebtedness as of Closing; (iii) a decrease for certain advisor expenses to be paid out of such cash consideration on behalf of the CDH Shareholders; (iv) an increase or decrease for CDH’s working capital as compared to a working capital target; (v) an increase or decrease for the amount by which CDH’s transaction expenses are less than (or greater than) $7 million; and (vi) an increase for credited expenses paid by CDH. The total consideration represents a market value of equity in excess of 80% of the assets held in DTRT’s Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), a requirement for an initial business combination under our Certificate of Incorporation.

The DTRT Board relied on the following sources: (i) due diligence on CDH’s business operations; (ii) extensive research reports and data related to the U.S. health and in-home care industry; and (iii) CDH management’s collective experience in the health and in-home care industry, public markets transactions generally, constructing and evaluating financial models/projections and conducting valuations of businesses. The DTRT Board also reviewed the financial analysis and oral opinion delivered by Lincoln to the DTRT Board on September 27, 2022 (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Lincoln as set forth in its written opinion, the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders, as more fully described in “The Business Combination Proposal—Opinion of Lincoln International LLC.” The DTRT Board concluded that the proposed Business Combination was fair and reasonable, given the growth prospects and other compelling aspects of the transaction.

The DTRT Board also considered the fact that members of our management and the DTRT Board may have interests that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally, including the matters described under “ Interests of DTRT’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.” However, the DTRT Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests were disclosed in the IPO Prospectus and would exist or may be even greater with respect to a business combination with another target company.

DTRT’s Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

Potential Inability to Complete the Business Combination. The DTRT Board considered the possibility that the Business Combination may not be completed and the potential adverse consequences to DTRT if the Business Combination is not completed, in particular the expenditure of time and resources in pursuit of the Business Combination and the loss of the opportunity to participate in the transaction. They considered the uncertainty related to factors outside of the control of the parties to the transaction. The Business Combination Agreement also includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits DTRT from soliciting other initial business combination proposals, which restricts DTRT’s ability to consider other potential initial business combinations until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

   

The Risk that DTRT’s Unaffiliated Stockholders Would Vote Against the Business Combination Proposal or Exercise Their Redemption Rights. The DTRT Board considered the risk that some of the current Unaffiliated Stockholders would vote against the Business Combination proposal or decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the trust account. Further, the fact that Unaffiliated Stockholders may vote for the Business Combination proposal while also exercising their redemption rights mitigates against any incentive an Unaffiliated Stockholder might have to vote against the Business Combination proposal, especially to the extent that they hold public warrants, which would be worthless if the Business Combination is not completed.

 

   

CDH’s Business Risks. The DTRT Board considered that there were risks associated with successful implementation of CDH’s long-term business plan and strategy and CDH realizing the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination on the timeline expected or at all. The DTRT Board considered that the failure of any of these activities to be completed successfully may decrease the actual benefits of the Business Combination and that DTRT Stockholders may not fully realize these benefits to the extent that they expected to retain the public shares following the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, the DTRT Board considered the risks presented by CDH’s concentration of net service revenue, including with respect to continued financial performance and to stock price trading following completion of the Business Combination. For additional description of these risks, please see “Risk Factors.

 

   

Post-Business Combination Corporate Governance. The DTRT Board considered the corporate governance provisions of the Merger Agreement and CDH’s anticipated organizational documents and the effect of those provisions on the governance of CDH following the Closing. In particular, they considered that, assuming no redemptions by DTRT Stockholders, the CDH Shareholders will control shares collectively representing approximately 61.0% of CDH’s voting power upon completion of the Business Combination and have the right to designate a majority of directors to the initial board of directors of the combined company and will have a right to approve or reject transactions involving New Pubco.

 

   

No Survival of Remedies for Breach of Representations, Warranties or Covenants by CDH. The DTRT Board considered that the terms of the Merger Agreement provide that neither DTRT nor its stockholders will have any recourse against CDH or the CDH Shareholders after the closing of the Business Combination to recover for losses as a result of any inaccuracies or breaches of the CDH representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

   

Litigation. The DTRT Board considered the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

 

   

Fees and Expenses. The DTRT Board considered the fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination, which it estimated to be approximately $[        ] million.

Diversion of Management. The DTRT Board considered the potential for diversion of management and employee attention during the period prior to the completion of the Business Combination, and the potential negative effects on CDH’s business.

Opinion of Lincoln International LLC

On September 27, 2022, Lincoln International LLC (“Lincoln”) rendered its oral opinion to the DTRT Board (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Lincoln as set forth in its written opinion, the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders.

Lincoln’s opinion was directed to the DTRT Board (in its capacity as such) and only addressed the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Mergers, or any agreements, arrangements or understandings entered into in connection with the Mergers. The summary of Lincoln’s opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is attached as Annex H to this proxy statement/prospectus and which describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Lincoln in connection with the preparation of its opinion. Neither Lincoln’s opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to the DTRT Board, DTRT or any security holder as to how to act or vote on any matter relating to the Mergers or otherwise.

In performing its analyses and rendering its opinion with respect to the Mergers, Lincoln, with DTRT’s consent:

 

   

Relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information Lincoln reviewed, and did not assume any responsibility for the independent verification of, nor independently verified, any of such information;

 

   

Relied upon the assurances of the management of each of CDH and DTRT that they were unaware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information materially incomplete or misleading;

 

   

Assumed that the financial forecasts, including the CDH Projections, provided to Lincoln by DTRT and CDH were reasonably prepared in good faith on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of CDH as to the future financial performance of CDH and the other matters covered thereby, and Lincoln assumed no responsibility for and expressed no opinion on the assumptions, estimates, and judgments on which such forecasts, including the CDH Projections, were based;

 

   

Assumed that the Mergers, the Contribution and the Financing would be consummated in a timely manner that complies in all respects with all applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations;

Assumed that the Mergers, the Contribution and the Financing would be consummated in accordance with the terms outlined by DTRT and other documents made available to Lincoln, without waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement therein that was material to Lincoln’s analysis;

 

116


Table of Contents
   

Assumed that there would be no material change in the assets, liabilities, business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, or prospects of CDH or DTRT since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to Lincoln, other than for any such changes that were reflected in the CDH Projections;

 

   

Assumed for purposes of Lincoln’s analyses and opinion that the value of the shares of New Pubco common stock to be issued in connection with the Second Merger would be $10.20 per share, based on the terms of the Merger Agreement;

 

   

Assumed that the final terms of the Mergers would not vary materially from those set forth in the copies or drafts, as applicable, reviewed by Lincoln; and

 

   

Assumed that the final versions of all documents (including the Merger Agreement) would conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed by Lincoln.

Lincoln’s opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as they existed on and the information made available to Lincoln as of the date thereof. Although subsequent developments may affect Lincoln’s opinion, Lincoln does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. Lincoln has relied upon the assessments of the management of DTRT and CDH as to, among other things, the potential impact on DTRT, CDH and New Pubco of market, competitive, seasonal, macroeconomic, geopolitical and other conditions, trends and developments in and prospects for, and governmental, regulatory and legislative matters relating to or affecting, the health care industry and the geographic regions and local communities in which DTRT, CDH and New Pubco operate. Lincoln assumed that there would not be any developments with respect to any such matters that would have an adverse effect on DTRT, CDH, New Pubco or the Mergers (including the contemplated benefits thereof) or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to Lincoln’s analyses or opinion. In preparing its opinion, Lincoln did not take into account any tax consequences of the transaction to any holder of DTRT common stock or CDH common stock. The DTRT Board advised Lincoln that the parties intend that the Contribution, the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken individually, will qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Lincoln assumed that the Contribution, the First Merger and the Second Merger would otherwise qualify for the intended tax treatment contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Lincoln did not evaluate CDH’s or DTRT’s solvency and was not requested to make, and did not make, an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise) of CDH or DTRT or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor was Lincoln furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Lincoln did not perform any financial analyses to evaluate the value of DTRT or to derive valuation reference ranges for shares of DTRT common stock or New Pubco common stock for purposes of comparison with the Merger Consideration or otherwise. Lincoln was not requested to, nor did Lincoln, participate in the negotiation or structuring of the Business Combination. Lincoln was not requested to, nor did Lincoln, seek alternative candidates for the Business Combination.

Lincoln’s opinion (i) did not address the underlying business decision of the DTRT Board or DTRT to proceed with or effect the Mergers or the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to other transaction structures, transactions or business strategies that may be available to DTRT or the effect of any other transaction in which DTRT might engage, and did not address whether the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT pursuant to the Merger Agreement was the best possibly attainable under the circumstances, (ii) did not address the capital structure of DTRT or New Pubco, whether New Pubco should be issuing debt or equity securities or a combination of both in connection with the Mergers or the Financing, or the form, structure or any aspect or terms of any debt or equity financing for the Mergers or the Financing or the likelihood of closing such financing, (iii) did not address the individual circumstances of specific stockholders of DTRT or New Pubco (including holders of shares of DTRT Class B common stock or warrants to purchase shares of DTRT common stock) with respect to rights or aspects which may distinguish such holders or equity securities held by such holders, (iv) did not address, take into consideration or give effect to any existing or future rights, preferences, restrictions or limitations or other attributes of any such securities or holders (including the Sponsor), (v) did not

in any way address proportionate allocation or relative fairness (including, without limitation, the allocation of any consideration among or within any classes or groups of security holders or other constituents of DTRT, New Pubco or any other party), (vi) did not constitute advice or a recommendation to the DTRT Board or any security holder as to how they should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the Mergers (including as to whether they should redeem any shares of DTRT common stock in connection with the SPAC Stockholder Redemption (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), and (vii) only addressed the fairness from a financial point of view to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders of the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement and did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Mergers, or any agreements, arrangements or understandings entered into in connection with the Mergers or otherwise (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of the securities offered in the initial public offering of DTRT, or the terms and conditions of the Contribution, the First Merger or the Financing). Lincoln expressed no opinion as to the fairness of any portion or aspect of the Mergers to (a) the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of DTRT or any other party, except as expressly set forth in Lincoln’s opinion, or (b) any one class or group of DTRT’s security holders, creditors or other constituencies vis-à-vis any other class or group of DTRT’s security holders, creditors or other constituents (including, without limitation, the allocation of any Merger Consideration among or within such classes or groups of security holders, creditors or other constituents). The decision as to whether to proceed with the Mergers or any related transaction depends on an assessment of various factors, many of which were unrelated to the financial analyses on which Lincoln’s opinion was based.

Lincoln expressed no opinion as to what the market price or value of the DTRT common stock or the New Pubco common stock or any other publicly traded securities issued by DTRT, CDH, Newco or New Pubco would be after the announcement or consummation of the Mergers (including as compared to the amount which holders of DTRT common stock may receive on redemption of their shares in connection with the SPAC Stockholder Redemption). Lincoln’s opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating or solvency opinion, an analysis of DTRT’s or New Pubco’s credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Lincoln also expressed no opinion about the amount or nature of any compensation or equity arrangement to be given to DTRT’s, New Pubco’s or CDH’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, in connection with the Mergers relative to the Merger Consideration in the Mergers.

Set forth below is a summary of the material financial analyses reviewed by Lincoln with the DTRT Board on September 27, 2022 in connection with rendering Lincoln’s opinion. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Lincoln. The order of the analyses described, and the results of these analyses, do not represent relative importance or weight given to these analyses by Lincoln. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data that existed on or before September 26, 2022 and is not necessarily indicative of then-current market conditions.

The following summary of Lincoln’s financial analyses includes information presented in tabular format. Several financial analyses were employed and no one method of analysis should be regarded as critical to the overall conclusion reached. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. Each of the analyses conducted was carried out to provide a particular perspective of the Merger Consideration. In order to fully understand the analyses, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. The tables are not intended to stand alone and alone do not constitute complete analyses. Considering the tables below without considering the full narrative description of Lincoln’s financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of such analyses. Lincoln did not form a conclusion as to whether any individual analysis, when considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its opinion as to the fairness of the Merger Consideration. Lincoln did not place any specific reliance on any individual analysis, but instead concluded that its analyses, taken as a whole, supported its opinion.

Summary of Lincoln’s Financial Analysis

Implied Enterprise Value of CDH

For purposes of its financial analyses described below, Lincoln assumed that the enterprise value of CDH implied by the Merger Consideration in the Business Combination was equal to $527 million, as provided in the Merger Agreement. The aggregate value of the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger was equal to $527 million, consisting of (i) the CDH Cash Consideration of $118.35 million and (ii) the CDH Stock Consideration (calculated as a number of shares of New Pubco common stock equal to the Company Equity Value of $527 million, as defined in the Merger Agreement, minus the CDH Cash Consideration, divided by $10.20). The Merger Consideration is subject to certain closing adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as to which adjustments Lincoln expressed no opinion.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Lincoln performed a discounted cash flow analysis of CDH. A discounted cash flow analysis is a valuation methodology used to derive an intrinsic valuation of a company by calculating the present value of its estimated future cash flows. Lincoln performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected unlevered free cash flows of CDH for the fiscal years 2022 through 2024. Free cash flow was based on the forecasted unlevered after-tax net operating profits (including stock-based compensation expense) adjusted for non-cash charges, working capital investments and capital expenditures. The tax rate utilized in the discounted cash flow analysis was 27.8%, as provided by CDH management. Lincoln calculated the net present value of the projected unlevered free cash flows utilizing an estimate of CDH’s weighted average cost of capital for the discount rate. For purposes of its discounted cash flow analysis, Lincoln utilized and relied upon the CDH Projections, which provided a financial forecast for the fiscal years 2022 through 2024, and other financial information provided by CDH management. For further information regarding the CDH Projections, see “The Business Combination—Certain Company Projected Financial Information.”

In calculating the net present value of the unlevered free cash flows in the discounted cash flow analysis, Lincoln utilized a weighted average cost of capital range of 10.75% to 11.75%. The selected discount rate range was selected giving consideration to market-based and company-specific risks and was based on Lincoln’s professional judgment and experience. Lincoln calculated CDH’s terminal value by multiplying the selected range of enterprise value to EBITDA multiples of 9.5x to 11.5x by CDH’s terminal year estimated EBITDA (including stock-based compensation expense of approximately $8.4 million for fiscal year 2024, based on the CDH Projections). Lincoln discounted the indicated terminal values to present value using the selected range of discount rates. Based on these assumptions, Lincoln’s discounted cash flow analysis indicated an estimated enterprise value for CDH of $605 million to $725 million, as compared to the implied enterprise value of CDH in the Business Combination of $527 million.

Selected Public Companies Analysis

Lincoln performed a selected public companies analysis for CDH. Although none of the selected public companies is directly comparable to CDH, Lincoln selected the public companies for its analysis based on their degree of similarity to CDH, primarily in terms of operations, geographic footprint, size, and historical and projected financial performance as compared to CDH. Lincoln analyzed the selected public companies listed below:

 

   

Addus HomeCare Corporation

 

   

Amedisys, Inc.

 

   

Aveanna Healthcare Holdings Inc.

 

   

Enhabit, Inc.

 

   

ModivCare Inc.

 

   

The Pennant Group, Inc.

Table of Contents

The table below summarizes observed historical and projected multiples of enterprise value to last 12 months (“LTM”) revenue, LTM earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), estimated fiscal year 2022 EBITDA (“2022E EBITDA”), estimated fiscal year 2023 EBITDA (“2023E EBITDA”), and estimated fiscal year 2024 EBITDA (“2024E EBITDA”) for the selected public companies, in each case as of September 26, 2022. The EBITDA estimates for fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024 for the selected public companies were derived based on certain publicly available historical financial data and equity research analyst estimates for the selected public companies.

The results of this analysis were as follows:

2024E EBITDA

     7.3x        12.9x        10.0x        9.9x  

None of the selected public companies was identical to CDH. As a result, a complete valuation analysis cannot be limited to a quantitative review of the selected public companies, but also requires complex consideration and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of CDH.

Selected M&A Transactions Analysis

Lincoln reviewed publicly available information related to selected mergers and acquisitions transactions listed in the table below. The selection of these transactions was based on, among other things, the target company’s industry and operational similarity, the relative size of the transaction, and the availability of public information related to the selected transaction.

Summary of Selected Public Companies / Selected M&A Transactions Analyses

To estimate a range of enterprise values for CDH, Lincoln multiplied its selected range of enterprise value to 2023E EBITDA multiples of 9.5x to 11.5x by CDH’s 2023E EBITDA (based on the CDH Projections and including stock-based compensation expense of approximately $6.3 million for fiscal year 2023 as per the CDH Projections) to determine a range of implied enterprise values for CDH. This analysis indicated a reference range of implied enterprise values for CDH of approximately $580 million to $705 million, as compared to the implied enterprise value of CDH in the Business Combination of $527 million.

Valuation multiples were selected, in part, by taking into consideration historical and projected financial performance metrics of CDH relative to such metrics of the selected public companies and selected M&A transactions target companies, including, but not limited to, the size of CDH on a revenue and EBITDA basis, historical, estimated and projected EBITDA margins compared to the selected public companies, and historical, estimated and projected revenue and EBITDA growth compared to the selected public companies.

Summary of Analysis

The range of indicated enterprise values for CDH that Lincoln derived from its discounted cash flow analysis and its selected public companies and selected M&A transactions analysis were $605 million to $725 million and $580 million to $705 million, respectively. Lincoln derived a concluded enterprise value range for CDH based on the average of the enterprise value ranges implied by the discounted cash flow analysis and the selected public companies and selected M&A transactions analyses, which resulted in a concluded enterprise value range for CDH of $592.5 million to $715 million, as compared to the implied enterprise value of CDH in the Business Combination of $527 million.

Miscellaneous

Lincoln and its affiliates provide a range of investment banking and financial services and, in that regard, Lincoln and its affiliates may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to DTRT, New Pubco, CDH and each of their respective affiliates, for which Lincoln and its affiliates would expect to receive compensation. Lincoln was engaged by DTRT on September 16, 2022 to render an opinion to the DTRT Board as to whether the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the proposed Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders. Lincoln will receive a fee for its services of approximately $600,000, of which a portion was payable at the time Lincoln was engaged by DTRT, and the remainder of which will become payable upon the earlier of the closing or termination of the Business Combination. No portion of Lincoln’s fee in connection with the delivery of its opinion is contingent upon either the conclusion reached in its opinion or the consummation of the Mergers. Pursuant to the engagement letter between Lincoln and DTRT, DTRT agreed to customary expense reimbursement and indemnification provisions. No other fees have been paid to Lincoln and its affiliates by DTRT or CDH during the past two years.

Certain Company Projected Financial Information

CDH’s management prepared certain non-public internal financial projections (the “initial CDH unaudited financial projections”) regarding CDH’s anticipated future operations based on assumptions that CDH’s management believed to be reasonable at the time for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The initial CDH unaudited financial projections were based on estimates and assumptions

 

121


Table of Contents

made by CDH’s management prior to and around the signing of the Merger Agreement and speak only as of that time. The initial CDH unaudited financial projections are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus to induce any DTRT Stockholder to vote in favor of the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement or any other proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting, but because such information was made available to DTRT and the DTRT Board.

The initial CDH unaudited financial projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial projections. The initial CDH unaudited financial projections were prepared primarily for internal use, capital budgeting and other management purposes, and are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments, and were not intended for third-party use, including by investors or stockholders. The initial CDH unaudited financial projections assume that CDH would continue to operate as a stand-alone company and reflect the impacts of the Business Combination. You are cautioned not to rely on the initial CDH unaudited financial projections in making a decision regarding the transaction, as such information may be materially different than actual results.

The initial CDH unaudited financial projections reflect numerous assumptions, including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond CDH’s control, such as the risks and uncertainties contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

The initial CDH unaudited financial projections contain forward-looking statements that are based on growth assumptions that are inherently subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond CDH’s control. Because the CDH unaudited financial projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. The inclusion of the initial CDH unaudited financial projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that CDH, any of its representatives or any other person considered, or currently considers, this information necessarily predictive of actual future results or events, and they should not be relied upon as such. There can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. In addition, CDH does not endorse the initial CDH unaudited financial projections as a reliable indication of future results.

The initial CDH unaudited financial projections were requested by, and disclosed to, DTRT for use as a component of its overall evaluation of CDH and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus because they were provided to the DTRT Board and Lincoln in connection with the DTRT Board’s evaluation of the Business Combination. CDH has not warranted as to the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the CDH unaudited financial projections to anyone, including DTRT. Neither CDH’s management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of CDH compared to the information contained in the CDH unaudited financial projections, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the CDH unaudited financial projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying such projections are shown to be in error. Accordingly, the CDH unaudited financial projections should not be looked upon as “guidance” of any sort. CDH will not refer to this information in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

The initial CDH unaudited financial projections were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, CDH’s management. BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), CDH’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or otherwise applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the CDH unaudited financial projections presented herein and, accordingly, expresses no opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to such information. The BDO report included in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to historical financial information of CDH. It does not extend to the CDH unaudited financial projections and should not be read to do so.

Operating expenses adjusted to exclude the impact of non-recurring expenses (stabilization of Washington and transaction related expenses). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of CDH” for additional details.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA was calculated on a consolidated basis.

The initial CDH unaudited financial projections were prepared using a number of assumptions, including the following assumptions that CDH believed to be material:

 

   

CDH presented its growth strategy as dependent on the success of current contracts.

 

   

Projected gross revenue is based on a variety of operational assumptions, including: expected organic growth of CDH’s Washington clients and expansion into new states; projections to win new contracts supported by strong industry growth; expected reimbursement rates; and access to additional capital to execute on the growth strategy.

 

   

Projected costs of services are driven by assumptions about labor rate per hour and hours per client per month.

In making the assumptions above, CDH’s management relied on a number of factors, including:

 

   

Its over thirty years of experience as a provider of self-directed personal care solutions;

 

   

Its best estimates of growth in existing states and the ability to attract and retain high-quality employees; and

 

   

Third party forecasts for growth of the home care industry.

Following the preparation of the initial CDH unaudited financial projections, CDH continued to review and update the initial CDH unaudited financial projections and provided updated financial projections reflecting an increase in Adjusted EBITDA to DTRT following the signing of the Merger Agreement. The updated financial projections were not provided to Lincoln and Lincoln was not asked to update its analysis based on the updated financial projections.

The key elements of these updated unaudited financial projections provided to DTRT are summarized in the table below (in millions of dollars, unaudited).

Table of Contents

CDH does not expect to further update the unaudited financial projections. While presented with numerical specificity, the projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future industry performance as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and matters specific to CDH’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond CDH’s control, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” The reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to the most closely related projected GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from the non-GAAP measure. The Company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the Company’s projected Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss) would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for this reason.

Regulatory Approvals

The Business Combination is subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period (or any extension thereof) applicable under the HSR Act. The waiting period will expire on November 14, 2022.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal  DTRT’s Board of Directors Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the DTRT Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its Initial Public Offering with respect to DTRT’s initial business combination, including that the Business Combination had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of execution of the Merger Agreement.

Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the DTRT Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, it should be noted that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a DTRT Stockholder. You should be aware that the interests set forth in more detail below present a risk that the Sponsor and its affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination, including in a manner that may not be aligned with public shareholders — as such, the Sponsor may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. These interests include, among other things:

 

   

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period. Our Initial Stockholders purchased the Founder Shares prior to the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In addition, given the difference in the purchase price that our Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the substantial number of shares of Class A common stock that our Sponsor will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares in connection with the Business Combination, our Sponsor and its affiliates may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the common stock of the combined company trades below the price initially paid for the units in the Initial Public Offering and the public stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the

completion of the Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor could potentially recoup its entire investment, inclusive of its investment in the Founder Shares and the Sponsor Warrants, even if the trading price of the New Pubco common stock after the Closing is as low as $2.01 per share.

 

   

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing for one share of DTRT Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, then the proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $2,990,000 based upon the closing price of $0.26 per warrant on Nasdaq on October 17, 2022.

 

   

Mr. Heaney, DTRT’s CEO and Executive Chairman, has an indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares and DTRT Sponsor Warrants purchased by the Sponsor as a result of his position as the manager of the Sponsor.

 

   

Our independent directors, Ms. Martin, Ms. Mehta and Ms. Christopher, each have indirect economic interest in 50,000 Founder Shares purchased by the Sponsor as a result of their service on the Board. In addition, the three independent directors indirectly purchased, through their investment in the Sponsor, 83,333, 16,667 and 66,667 Founder Shares, respectively. Ms. Mehta is anticipated to be a director of New Pubco following the Business Combination.

 

   

Our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment of $11,225,000 in us if we do not complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period. Certain of our officers and directors may continue to serve as officers and directors of New Pubco after the Closing. As such, in the future they will determine the compensation paid to New Pubco’s directors and officers.

 

   

Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if DTRT fails to complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period.

 

   

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

   

Following the Closing, our Sponsor will be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to DTRT and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

 

   

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

 

   

Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by DTRT from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.

Debt Financing

In connection with the Business Combination, CDH has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a Debt Financing Source to obtain up to $150 million in Debt Financing for the transaction. Pursuant to the letter of intent, the Debt Financing would be structured with up to $75 million in an asset-based revolving credit facility (which may, in the Debt Financing Source’s sole discretion, be upsized by $50 million), with $40 million of such amount being funded at closing of the Debt Financing, and up to $75 million, or up to 1.66x trailing twelve-months pro forma adjusted EBITDA, in a senior secured term loan facility. The proceeds of the Debt Financing will be used (a) to fund the Business Combination, (b) to fund cash to the balance sheet and refinance existing debt, (c) to fund certain tax obligations, (d) to pay fees, costs and expense associated with the Debt Financing and (e) for general working capital of CDH. The Debt Financing will, upon closing of the Debt Financing, be secured by a perfected, first-priority security interest in and lien upon all of the assets (tangible and intangible) of CDH and the proceeds thereof and a pledge of equity of CDH (subject to any applicable health care regulatory limitations).

For a description of the executive officers and board members of New Pubco, please see “New Pubco Management After the Business Combination.”. On the Closing Date, New Pubco will enter into customary indemnification agreements with the foregoing individuals, which indemnification agreements will continue to be effective immediately following the Closing.

Stock Exchange Listing

DTRT’s units, Class A common stock and Public Warrants are publicly traded on Nasdaq under the symbols “DTRTU,” “DTRT” and “DTRTW,” respectively. New Pubco intends to apply to list the New Pubco common stock and New Pubco Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “CDCN” and “CDCNW”, respectively, upon the Closing of the Business Combination. DTRT will not have units traded following the Closing of the Business Combination.

Accounting Treatment

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DTRT is treated as the acquired company and CDH is treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. CDH has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances that are expected to be in place following the consummation of the Business Combination: (i) CDH’s existing shareholders will have the greater voting interest in New Pubco under both the No Redemptions and Full Redemption Scenarios as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination; (ii) by virtue of such estimated voting interest upon the consummation of the Business Combination, CDH’s existing shareholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding the election and removal of directors and officers of New Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination; (iii) CDH’s senior management will be the senior management of New Pubco; and (iv) the majority of the members of the New Pubco Board will be appointed by CDH.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of CDH, with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of CDH issuing stock for the net assets of DTRT, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Vote Required for Approval

This Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination) will be approved and adopted only with the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding DTRT Shares entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

DTRT’s Sponsor and DTRT’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. See “Other Agreements  Voting Letter Agreement” and “Other Agreements  Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the DTRT Board

THE DTRT BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE DTRT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of DTRT’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what they may believe is in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following describes certain aspects of the Business Combination, including the material provisions of the Merger Agreement. The following description of the Merger Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. Capitalized terms not defined in this proxy statement/prospectus have the definitions provided in the Merger Agreement. We urge you to read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety, as it is the legal document governing the Business Combination.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement and this summary are included to provide you with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub, New Pubco and CDH. The representations and warranties made in the Merger Agreement by DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub, New Pubco and CDH were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by DTRT and CDH in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing circumstances in which a party to the Merger Agreement may have the right not to consummate the Business Combination if the representations and warranties of the other party were to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing or attempting to set forth matters as facts. The representations and warranties also may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Moreover, some of the representations and warranties were qualified by the matters contained in the confidential disclosure schedules that DTRT and CDH each delivered in connection with the Merger Agreement and certain documents filed with the SEC. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the Merger Agreement.

For the foregoing reasons, the representations and warranties or any descriptions of those provisions should not be read alone or relied upon as presenting the actual state of facts or condition of DTRT or CDH, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Instead, such provisions or descriptions should be read only in conjunction with the other information provided elsewhere in this document or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 282. DTRT will provide additional disclosures in its public reports to the extent it is aware of the existence of any material facts that are required to be disclosed under federal securities laws and that might otherwise contradict the terms and information contained in the Merger Agreement and will update such disclosure as required by federal securities laws.

Closing and Effective Time of the Mergers

Unless DTRT and CDH otherwise mutually agree in writing, the Closing will take place as promptly as practicable, on the third business day after the date on which all of the Closing conditions set forth in Article IX of the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing of the Business Combination) (such date, the “Closing Date”). See The Merger Agreement  Conditions to Closing beginning on page 142 for a more complete description of the conditions that must be satisfied prior to Closing.

On the Closing Date, New Pubco and Newco will effect the Business Combination by filing a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State, and the Business Combination will become effective at the time the certificate of merger has been duly filed or at such later time as may be agreed by Newco and New Pubco in writing and specified in the certificate of merger.

Table of Contents

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties expect that the Business Combination will be consummated during the first quarter of 2023. However, there can be no assurance as to when or if the Business Combination will occur.

If the Business Combination is not completed by the date that is 270 days following the date of the Merger Agreement (the “Termination Date”), the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either DTRT or CDH. However, a party may not terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to the provision described in this paragraph if the failure of the Closing to occur by the Termination Date is due primarily to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement to fulfill any obligations of such party set forth in the Merger Agreement. See The Merger Agreement  Termination beginning on page 145 for a more complete description of the termination provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Covenants and Agreements

Conduct of CDH Business Prior to the Completion of the Mergers

CDH and DTRT made all filings requested pursuant to the HSR Act on October 13, 2022. CDH and DTRT have further agreed to (i) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any requests by any governmental authority for additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act; provided, that neither party will extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any governmental authority without the written consent of the other and (ii) request early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act (to the extent early termination is available). CDH has agreed to pay all filing fees payable to the Antitrust Division and FTC in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided that DTRT will reimburse CDH for such amounts in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated (except in certain circumstances).

CDH and DTRT have agreed to promptly inform the other of any substantive communication with, and furnish to the other copies of any notices or written communications received by, them or any of their respective affiliates and any third party or governmental authority with respect to the Business Combination, and CDH, on the one hand, and DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub and New Pubco, on the other, have agreed to (a) permit counsel to the other an opportunity to review in advance and (b) consider in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed written communications to any governmental authority concerning the Business Combination.

134


Table of Contents

this proxy statement/prospectus could not be sent to DTRT’s stockholders unless certificates (including a chief financial officer certificate from CDH on any projections included in any registration statement or proxy statement filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), comfort letters, negative assurance letters and legal opinions from DTRT and CDH and their respective internal and external legal counsel and auditors as Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. reasonably requested and that are generally provided to underwriters in connection with underwritten public offerings of securities registered under the Securities Act have been delivered by DTRT and CDH and their respective legal counsel and auditors) and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies from the holders of shares of DTRT Class A common stock to vote in favor of each of the proposals contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In the event that the DTRT Board determines a material adverse effect has occurred with respect to CDH, the DTRT Board may make a withdrawal of the DTRT Board Recommendation or an amendment, qualification or modification of the DTRT Board Recommendation, if a failure to do so would, upon the advice of counsel, reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of DTRT’s fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on a date for which the DTRT Special Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient DTRT Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to obtain the stockholder approvals of the proposals contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, whether or not a quorum is present, DTRT will have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Special Meeting.

Consent Solicitation

CDH agreed to obtain, and has obtained, the adoption of the Merger Agreement (the “CDH Approval”) by holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of CDH common stock (the “CDH Shareholders”) via written consent. CDH agreed, through the CDH Board, to recommend to the CDH Shareholders that they adopt the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the fact that the CDH Approval has been obtained, the recommendation by the CDH Board to adopt the Merger Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, be withdrawn in the event the CDH Board determines, in its sole discretion (and taking into account only the interests of the CDH Shareholders (taken as a whole)), such CDH Board Recommendation Withdrawal is in the best interest of the CDH Shareholders.

No Solicitation

Except as expressly permitted by the provisions of the Merger Agreement summarized under this heading “No Solicitation” (the “no solicitation provisions”), from the date of the Merger Agreement to the Effective Time or, if earlier, the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, CDH has agreed not to take, and not to permit its affiliates and respective representatives to take, whether directly or indirectly:

any action in connection with a public offering of any equity securities of CDH or any of its subsidiaries (or any affiliate or successor of CDH or any of its subsidiaries);

This summary and the copy of the Merger Agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A are included solely to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide factual information about the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by DTRT, Grizzly Merger Sub, New Pubco and CDH, which were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those generally applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement, and in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof were not intended by the parties to the Merger Agreement to be characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of DTRT, CDH or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

Amendment

The Merger Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as the Merger Agreement and which refers to the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of any of the parties will not restrict the ability of the board of directors of any of the parties to terminate the Merger Agreement in accordance with the termination provisions outlined under the heading “Termination” set forth above or to cause such party to enter into an amendment to the Merger Agreement pursuant to this paragraph.

Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by the DTRT Stockholders.

Comparison of Current Charter to Proposed Charter

The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Charter relative to the Current Charter. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is included as Annex B.

 

   

change New Pubco’s name to “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.”;

 

   

increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, from authorized capital stock of DTRT of (i) 380,000,000 shares of DTRT Class A common stock, 20,000,000 shares of DTRT Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to [ ] shares of New Pubco common stock and 1,000,000 shares of New Pubco preferred stock; and

 

   

eliminate certain provisions specific to DTRT’s status as a blank check company.

Reasons for the Approval of the Proposed Charter

In the judgment of the DTRT Board, the Proposed Charter is necessary to address the needs of the post Business Combination company. In particular:

 

   

the name of the new public entity is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and to clearly identify New Pubco as the publicly traded entity;

 

   

the greater number of authorized shares of capital stock is desirable for New Pubco to have sufficient shares to complete the Business Combination and have additional authorized shares for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits; and

 

   

the provisions that relate to the operation of DTRT as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination will not be applicable to New Pubco (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time).

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding DTRT Shares, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

Recommendation of DTRT Board

THE DTRT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT DTRT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL.

ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL A — APPROVAL OF AUTHORIZATION OF CHANGE TO AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

DTRT is asking its stockholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, authorized capital stock of [    ] shares of New Pubco common stock and 1,000,000 shares of New Pubco preferred stock, as compared to authorized capital stock of DTRT of (i) 380,000,000 shares of DTRT Class A common stock, 20,000,000 shares of DTRT Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of DTRT (the “DTRT preferred stock”).

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are (i) 23,000,000 shares of DTRT Class A common stock issued and outstanding, (ii) 5,750,000 shares of DTRT Class B common stock issued and outstanding and (iii) no DTRT preferred stock issued and outstanding. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,500,000 DTRT Public Warrants and 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants of DTRT, in each case, issued and outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, each DTRT warrant will automatically be converted into one New Pubco warrant, which will be exercisable for one share of New Pubco common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the New Pubco warrants are exercisable commencing on the date that is 30 days after the Closing.

In order to ensure that New Pubco has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Pubco will provide for [    ] shares of New Pubco common stock and [    ] shares of New Pubco preferred stock.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Pubco, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C. All stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Authorized Shares

The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of New Pubco that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. The DTRT Board believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal A requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Recommendation of the DTRT Board

THE DTRT BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT DTRT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL A.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of DTRT’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of

DTRT and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals.

ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL B — APPROVAL OF OTHER DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AND THE CURRENT ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

DTRT is asking its stockholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, all of the other differences between the Proposed Organizational Documents (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C) and the Current Organizational Documents in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, including (1) changing the corporate name from “Grizzly New Pubco, Inc.” to “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.,” (2) making New Pubco’s corporate existence perpetual, and (3) excluding certain provisions related to DTRT’s status as a blank check company, all of which the DTRT Board believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of New Pubco after the Business Combination.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, our stockholders are also being asked to approve Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal B, which is, in the judgment of the DTRT Board, necessary to adequately address the needs of New Pubco after the Business Combination.

The Proposed Charter will not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the Trust Account, winding up of DTRT’s operations should DTRT not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Current Charter) because following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Pubco will not be a blank check company.

While certain material changes between the Current Organizational Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents have been identified in Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals A and B, there are other differences between the Current Organizational Documents and Proposed Organizational Documents that will be approved (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and consummation of the Business Combination) if our stockholders approve this Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal B. Accordingly, we encourage stockholders to carefully review the terms of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Pubco, attached hereto as Annex B and Annex C.

Reasons for the Amendments

Corporate Name

The DTRT Board believes that changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Grizzly New Pubco, Inc.” to “Consumer Direct Care Network, Inc.” is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and to clearly identify New Pubco as the publicly traded entity.

Perpetual Existence

The DTRT Board believes that making New Pubco’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the DTRT Board believes that it is the most appropriate period for New Pubco following the Business Combination.

Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company

The elimination of certain provisions related to DTRT’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Organizational Documents do not include the requirement to dissolve New Pubco and allows it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual

 

156


Table of Contents

existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the DTRT Board believes it is the most appropriate period for New Pubco following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in DTRT’s Current Charter require that proceeds from DTRT’s Initial Public Offering be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of DTRT has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed New Organizational Documents.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal B requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Recommendation of the DTRT Board

THE DTRT BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT DTRT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL B.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of DTRT’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. In addition, DTRT’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal  Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

THE OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming that the Business Combination Proposal is approved, DTRT is asking its stockholders to approve the                  Omnibus Incentive Plan, and, in connection with and following the Business Combination, equity-based awards will be granted under such plan. New Pubco’s board of directors approved the                  Omnibus Incentive Plan on September 28, 2022, which is referred to herein as the “Omnibus Incentive Plan.”] For further information about the Omnibus Incentive Plan, please refer to the complete copy of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which is attached hereto as Annex F.

The DTRT Board believes that approving the Omnibus Incentive Plan is in the best interests of New Pubco and its stockholders. The Omnibus Incentive Plan promotes ownership in New Pubco by its employees, non-employee directors and consultants, and aligns incentives of service providers and stockholders by permitting these service providers to receive compensation in the form of awards denominated in, or based on the value of, New Pubco’s common stock. The DTRT Board recommends that the DTRT Stockholders approve the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Summary of the Incentive Plan

The following summary describes the material terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex F, and we urge you to read it in its entirety.

Purpose

The Omnibus Incentive Plan will allow New Pubco to make equity and equity-based incentive awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of New Pubco and its affiliates. The New Pubco Board anticipates that providing such persons with a direct stake in New Pubco will assure a closer alignment of the interests of such individuals with those of New Pubco and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on New Pubco’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with New Pubco and its affiliates.

Administration

The Omnibus Incentive Plan will be administered by the New Pubco Board, by the compensation committee of the New Pubco Board, or by such other similar committee pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The plan administrator will have full power to, among other things, select the individuals eligible for awards, determine individuals to whom awards will be granted, make any combination of awards to participants, and determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The plan administrator may delegate any or all of its responsibilities and powers to one or more of its members, or to any person or persons. Specifically, the plan administrator may delegate to one or more officers, including the chief executive officer, subject to certain limitations and guidelines. Subject to certain limitations, persons eligible to participate in the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of New Pubco and its affiliates as selected from time to time by the plan administrator in its discretion.

Authorized Shares

New Pubco has initially reserved a number of shares of common stock equal to 8% of its outstanding common stock as of the effective date of the Business Combination for the issuance of awards under the

 

158


Table of Contents

Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Initial Limit”). The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will cumulatively increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, [2023] and continuing through January 1, [2032], by a number of shares of common stock equal to 3% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock of New Pubco on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser amount as determined by the board (the “Annual Increase”). This limit is subject to adjustment by the plan administrator in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share split, share dividend, reverse share split or other similar change in New Pubco’s capitalization. Awards that may be settled solely in cash are not counted against the share reserve. In addition, shares that are forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of shares are not counted against the share reserve. Shares withheld for taxes shall count against the share reserve. Shares of stock underlying awards that are subject to performance vesting are counted against the share reserve based on the target value of such awards unless and until such time as the awards become vested and settled in shares.

Director Limits

The Omnibus Incentive Plan contains a limitation whereby the value of all awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and all other cash compensation paid by New Pubco to any non-employee director for service as a non-employee director may not exceed $500,000.

Types of Awards

Options

The Omnibus Incentive Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase common stock of New Pubco as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and non-qualified stock options. Options granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be non-qualified options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit under the Code for incentive stock options first becoming exercisable. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of New Pubco and its subsidiaries. Non-qualified options may be granted to any persons eligible to receive awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by the plan administrator but will not generally be less than 100% of the fair market value of an ordinary share of New Pubco on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. The term of each option will be fixed by our plan administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The plan administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of such options.

Upon exercise of options, the option exercise price must be paid in full either in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the plan administrator or by delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of common stock of New Pubco that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Subject to applicable law, the exercise price may also be delivered by a broker pursuant to irrevocable instructions to the broker from the optionee. In addition, the plan administrator may permit non-qualified options to be exercised using a “net exercise” arrangement that reduces the number of shares issued to the optionee by the largest whole number of shares with fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

Unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, vested options will remain exercisable for 90 days following termination of employment, except that (a) in the event of termination due to death or disability, vested options will remain exercisable for one year, and (b) in the event of termination for cause, all options (vested and not vested) will expire on the date of termination. In no event, however, will an option be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The plan administrator may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to common stock of New Pubco or cash, equal to

 

159


Table of Contents

the value of the appreciation in our stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price may not generally be less than 100% of the fair market value of an ordinary share of New Pubco on the date of grant. The term of each stock appreciation right will be fixed by the plan administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The plan administrator will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised.

Restricted Stock and Stock Units

The plan administrator may award restricted shares of New Pubco and restricted stock units to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain vesting conditions, performance goals or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. The plan administrator may also grant shares of common stock of New Pubco that are free from any restrictions under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or for other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant. The plan administrator may grant dividend equivalent rights to participants that entitle the recipient to receive credits for dividends that would be paid if the recipient had held a specified number of shares of common stock of New Pubco.

Cash-Based Awards

The plan administrator may grant cash-based awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to participants, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals, including continued employment (or other service relationship).

Transferability of Awards

The Omnibus Incentive Plan generally does not allow for the transfer or assignment of awards, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except with the prior written consent of the plan administrator.

Additionally, if requested by New Pubco, a grantee will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any common stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended) held by the grantee for such period following the effective date of a public offering, share listing, or other similar transaction by New Pubco of common stock as New Pubco will specify reasonably and in good faith.

Change in Control

An award agreement may provide that the award will vest upon a change in control (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan). In addition, upon a change in control, the plan administrator may provide for the continuation of any award if New Pubco is the surviving corporation, the assumption of any award by the surviving corporation, the substitution of any award by the surviving corporation, or the settlement of any award for the control price (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan).

Amendment and Termination

The New Pubco Board may, at any time, amend, alter or terminate the Omnibus Incentive Plan and the plan administrator may amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may adversely alter or impair rights under an award without the holder’s consent. Certain amendments to the Omnibus Incentive Plan will require the approval of New Pubco’s stockholders. Without stockholder approval, in no event may the plan administrator exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights or effect repricing through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation of options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for cash or other awards.

 

160


Table of Contents

Term

No awards may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan after the date that is ten years from the Omnibus Incentive Plan effective date. No awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan have been made prior to the date hereof.

Adjustment Provisions

The Omnibus Incentive Plan requires the plan administrator to make appropriate adjustments to the number of shares of common stock that are subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, to certain limits in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, and to any outstanding awards to reflect share dividends, share splits and similar events.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

Participants in the Omnibus Incentive Plan are responsible for the payment of any taxes, whether federal, state, local or otherwise, of the United States of America or elsewhere that New Pubco or its affiliates are required by law to withhold upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights or the grant, vesting of, purchase or other dealing in any awards issued pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The plan administrator may cause any tax withholding obligation of New Pubco or its affiliates to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the applicable entity withholding from common stock of New Pubco to be issued pursuant to an award a number of shares with an aggregate fair market value that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate or such lesser amount as is necessary to avoid adverse financial accounting treatment. The plan administrator may also require any tax withholding obligation of New Pubco or affiliate to be satisfied by a number of other means to include, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby a certain number of shares issued pursuant to any award are immediately sold and proceeds from such sale are remitted to New Pubco or any applicable affiliate in an amount that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

Registration with the SEC

If the Omnibus Incentive Plan is approved by the DTRT Stockholders and becomes effective, New Pubco is expected to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the New Pubco common stock reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming eligible to use such form.

New Plan Benefits

No awards have been previously granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and no awards have been granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan subject to stockholder approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The awards that are to be granted to any participant or group of participants are indeterminable at this time because participation and the types of awards that may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the Administrator.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. If the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

Recommendation of the DTRT Board

THE DTRT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT DTRT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of DTRT’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

THE ESPP PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming that the Business Combination Proposal is approved, DTRT is asking its stockholders to approve the                  Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The New Pubco Board approved the                  Employee Stock Purchase Plan on                 ,                 , which is referred to herein as the “                 ESPP.” For further information about the                  ESPP, please refer to the complete copy of the                  ESPP, which is attached hereto as Annex G.

The DTRT Board believes that approving the                  ESPP is in the best interests of New Pubco and its stockholders. The purpose of the                  ESPP is to secure the services of new employees, to retain the services of existing employees and to provide incentives for such individuals to exert maximum efforts toward New Pubco’s success and that of its affiliates. The                  ESPP provides employees with an opportunity to acquire New Pubco common stock and will enable New Pubco to attract, retain and motivate valued employees. Therefore, the DTRT Board recommends that the DTRT Stockholders approve the                  ESPP.

Summary of the 2022 ESPP

Purpose

The                  ESPP provides employees with an opportunity to acquire New Pubco common stock and will enable New Pubco to attract, retain and motivate valued employees.

Authorized Shares

New Pubco intends that the                  ESPP qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. An aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to 3% of its outstanding common stock as of the effective date of the Business Combination has been reserved and is available for issuance under the                  ESPP. Additionally, on January 1, [2023] and each January 1 thereafter until January 1, [2032], the number of shares of common stock of New Pubco reserved and available for issuance will be cumulatively increased by 0.25% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares of common stock of New Pubco as determined by the plan administrator.

Plan Components

The [2022] ESPP includes two components: a Code Section 423 Component (the “423 Component”) and a non-Code Section 423 Component (the “Non-423 Component”). It is intended for the 423 Component to constitute an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code and the 423 Component will be interpreted in accordance with that intent. Under the Non-423 Component, which does not qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code, options will be granted pursuant to rules, procedures or subplans adopted by the plan administrator designed to comply with applicable laws or achieve tax and other objectives. Except as otherwise provided herein or by the plan administrator, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.

Administration

The [2022] ESPP will be administered by the person or persons appointed by the New Pubco Board. Such person or persons will administer the plan and will have full authority to make, administer and interpret such

 

163


Table of Contents

rules and regulations regarding the [2022] ESPP as it deems advisable for administration of the Plan, including to accommodate the specific requirements of applicable laws, regulations and procedures in jurisdictions outside the United States by adopting special rules and subplans. The plan administrator will also have the power to decide all disputes arising in connection with the [2022] ESPP and will otherwise supervise the administration of the plan.

Eligibility to Participate

Any employee of New Pubco (or a Designated Entity (as defined in the [2022] ESPP)) that has been designated to participate in the [2022] ESPP is eligible to participate in the [2022] ESPP, provided that person who owns or holds, or as a result of participation in the [2022] ESPP would own or hold, common stock of New Pubco or options to purchase common stock of New Pubco, that together equal to 5% or more of total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of New Pubco or any parent or subsidiary is entitled to participate in the [2022] ESPP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the plan administrator may limit an offering to exclude highly compensated employees, or employees who have not met certain service or eligibility requirements. No employee may exercise an option granted under the [2022] ESPP that permits the employee to purchase common stock of New Pubco having a value of more than $25,000 (determined using the fair market value of an ordinary share at the time such option is granted) in any calendar year.

Participation in the [2022] ESPP is limited to eligible employees who authorize payroll deductions or contributions equal to a whole percentage or fixed dollar amount of compensation to the [2022] ESPP. An eligible employee who is not a participant in any prior offering may participate in a subsequent offering by submitting an enrollment form to New Pubco or an agent designated by New Pubco within the time frame designated by the plan administrator. Employees may authorize payroll deductions or contributions, with a minimum of 1% of compensation and a maximum of 15% of compensation. Once an employee becomes a participant in the [2022] ESPP, that employee will automatically participate in successive offering periods, as described below, until such time as that employee withdraws from the [2022] ESPP, becomes ineligible to participate, or his or her employment ceases. New Pubco will maintain book accounts showing the amount of payroll deductions or contributions made by each participant for each offering. No interest will accrue or be paid on payroll deductions or contributions, except as may be required by applicable law.

Exercise

On the exercise date of each offering period, the employee is deemed to have exercised the option, at the exercise price for the lowest of (i) a number of shares of common stock of New Pubco determined by dividing such employee’s accumulated payroll deductions or contributions on such exercise date by the option price; (ii) the number of shares of common stock of New Pubco determined by dividing $25,000 by the fair market value of an ordinary share on the offering date for such offering; or (iii) such lesser number as established by the plan administrator in advance of the offering. The purchase price for each share purchased under each option (the “option price”) will be 85% of the fair market value of an ordinary share on the offering date or the exercise date, whichever is less. Any amount remaining in a participant’s account at the end of an offering solely by reason of an inability to purchase a fractional share will be carried forward to the next offering; any other balance remaining in the account at the end of an offering will be refunded to the participant.

Termination

In general, if an employee is no longer a participant on an exercise date, the employee’s option will be automatically terminated, and the amount of the employee’s accumulated payroll deductions or contributions will be refunded. Unless otherwise provided by the plan administrator in advance of an offering, a participant may increase or decrease the amount of his or her payroll deductions or contributions during any offering period. A participant may withdraw from an offering period at any time, without affecting his or her eligibility to

 

164


Table of Contents

participate in future offering periods, by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to New Pubco or an agent designated by New Pubco. If a participant withdraws from an offering period, that participant may not again participate in the same offering period, but may enroll in subsequent offering periods.

Each participant agrees, by entering the 423 Component of the [2022] ESPP, to give New Pubco prompt notice of any disposition of shares purchased under the [2022] ESPP where such disposition occurs within two years after the date of grant of the option pursuant to which such shares were purchased or within one year after the date such shares were purchased. Also, neither the [2022] ESPP or any compensation paid hereunder will confer on any participant the right to continue as an employee or in any other capacity.

Offering Terms

New Pubco may make one or more offerings to eligible employees to purchase common stock of New Pubco under the [2022] ESPP, provided that no offering will exceed 27 months in duration or overlap.

Adjustments

In the case of certain corporate transactions or events, or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events, the plan administrator, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, is authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the plan administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the [2022] ESPP or with respect to any right under the [2022] ESPP to facilitate such transactions or events: (a) to provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding option in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such option had such option been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding option with other options or property selected by the plan administrator in its sole discretion; (b) to provide that the outstanding options under the [2022] ESPP will be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or will be substituted for similar options covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (c) to make adjustments in the number and type of common stock of New Pubco (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding options under the [2022] ESPP and in the terms and conditions of outstanding options and options that may be granted in the future; (d) to provide that the offering with respect to which an option relates will be shortened by setting a new exercise date on which such offering will end; and (e) to provide that all outstanding options will terminate without being exercised and all amounts in the accounts of participants will be promptly refunded.

Amendment or Termination

The [2022] ESPP will automatically terminate on the 10-year anniversary of the [2022] ESPP effective date. The Board may, in its discretion, at any time, terminate or amend the [2022] ESPP.

Registration with the SEC

If the [2022] ESPP is approved by the DTRT Stockholders and becomes effective, New Pubco is expected to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the New Pubco common stock reserved for issuance under the [2022] ESPP as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming eligible to use such form.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by

proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. The ESPP Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. If the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the ESPP Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow the DTRT Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal or the ESPP Proposal, or holders of DTRT Class A common stock have elected to redeem an amount of DTRT Class A common stock such that DTRT would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or DTRT has not been able to obtain Financing satisfactory to CDH and CDH did not waive the satisfaction of such condition. In no event will the DTRT Board adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under DTRT’s existing charter and Delaware law.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by DTRT’s stockholders, the DTRT Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal or the ESPP Proposal, or holders of DTRT Class A common stock have elected to redeem an amount of DTRT Class A common stock such that DTRT would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or DTRT has not been able to obtain Financing satisfactory to CDH and CDH did not waive the satisfaction of such condition, and may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period (subject to the requirements of law), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the majority of the votes cast by the DTRT Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

The Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). See “Other Agreements  Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the DTRT Board

DTRT’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of DTRT’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of DTRT and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal  Interests of DTRT’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of DTRT and Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc (“CDH”), adjusted to give effect to the consummation of the Business Combination and the related transactions, as detailed below. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786,Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” which is herein referred to as Article 11.

In accordance with Article 11, the historical financial statements may be adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to “Transaction Accounting Adjustments” reflecting only the application of required accounting for the Business Combination and related transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any Management Adjustments (as defined under Release No. 33-10786).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 combines the historical balance sheets of DTRT and CDH on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on June 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 (in the case of DTRT, for the period April 19, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021) and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, combine the historical statements of operations of DTRT and CDH on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on January 1, 2021, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The Business Combination and related transactions are summarized below:

 

  (i)

In connection with the Merger Agreement, DTRT created Grizzly New Pubco (“New Pubco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of DTRT, and Grizzly Merger Sub, Inc. (“Grizzly Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Pubco.

 

  (ii)

At least one day prior to the closing, the shareholders of CDH will form a Delaware corporation (“Newco”) and contribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of CDH common stock to Newco in exchange for shares of Newco common stock (the “Contribution”). Immediately following the Contribution, Newco shall elect to treat CDH as a “qualified Subchapter S subsidiary.”

 

  (iii)

On the closing date, Grizzly Merger Sub, Inc. will be merged with and into DTRT (the “First Merger”), with DTRT being the surviving entity in the First Merger and continuing (immediately following the First Merger) as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of New Pubco (the “Surviving Corporation”).

 

  (iv)

On the closing date and following the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall convert into a Delaware limited liability company and Newco will be merged with and into New Pubco (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Business Combination”) with New Pubco being the surviving entity of the Second Merger (the “Surviving Entity”).

In connection with the First Merger:

 

  (i)

Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding DTRT unit shall be automatically detached, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of DTRT Class A common stock and one-half of one DTRT Warrant

 

  (ii)

Each share of DTRT Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be automatically converted into one share of New Pubco common stock

 

  (iii)

Each share of DTRT Class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be automatically converted into one share of New Pubco common stock

 

  (iv)

Each DTRT Sponsor Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be automatically converted into a New Pubco Sponsor Warrant exercisable for one share of New Pubco common stock, and each DTRT Public Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First

  Effective Time will be automatically converted into a New Pubco Public Warrant exercisable for one share of New Pubco common stock

 

  (v)

If there are any shares of DTRT that are owned by DTRT or any subsidiary of DTRT, or that are held as treasury shares, in each case as of the First Effective Time, such shares shall automatically be cancelled, retired and extinguished and shall cease to exist.

Pursuant to the Second Merger:

 

  (i)

Each share of Newco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Second Merger (the “Second Effective Time”) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive (a) an amount of cash equal to the CDH Cash Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) divided by the total number of shares of Newco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, and (b) a number of shares of New Pubco common stock equal to the Company Stock Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) divided by the total number of shares of Newco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time.

 

  (ii)

Each share of Newco Common Stock held in the treasury of Newco immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto.

Other related events that are contemplated in connection with the Business Combination:

 

   

CDH and DTRT are pursuing commitments from third party lenders (the “Debt Financing Sources”), to provide loans to New Pubco, CDH and/or their subsidiaries in connection with the Closing (the debt financing under such commitments, collectively, hereinafter referred to as, the “Debt Financing”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents a potential Debt Financing based on a non-binding letter of intent among CDH, DTRT and a third party lender. This potential Debt Financing includes a term loan of $75.0 million and a revolver with total capacity of $75.0 million, with $40.0 million expected to be drawn upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

   

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, New Pubco entered into an Equity Exchange Agreement (the “Equity Exchange Agreement”) with CDH and Home Care Workers Purpose Trust, a Delaware Noncharitable Purpose Trust (“HCT”). HCT owns a twenty percent (20%) limited liability company interest in Consumer Direct Care Washington, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“CD Washington”), and CDH owns an eighty percent (80%) limited liability company interest in CD Washington. Pursuant to the Equity Exchange Agreement, HCT will transfer its interest in CD Washington to New Pubco, which New Pubco will contribute to CDH, with CDH becoming the sole member of CD Washington effective as of closing. In exchange for HCT’s transfer of its interest in CD Washington to New Pubco, New Pubco will issue to HCT 430,000 shares of New Pubco common stock and has entered into a Management Services Agreement pursuant to which HCT will, following the closing, continue to provide management services to CD Washington in exchange for a monthly management fee equal to $0.50 multiplied by the number of active CD Washington employees employed as individual providers.

 

   

The Merger Agreement provides for a Potential Tax Adjustment which is defined as the CDH Cash Consideration adjustments required to ensure that, with respect to any change in accounting method from cash basis to accrual basis, each Pre-Closing Holder is paid an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) any additional tax liability incurred by such Pre-Closing Holder resulting from such change plus (ii) any additional tax liability incurred by such Pre-Closing Holder resulting from the payments described in this sentence. To the extent the amount of the Potential Tax Adjustment is not known as of the day prior to Closing, the Potential Tax Adjustment shall be paid after Closing. Additionally, the change in accounting method from cash to accrual basis is expected to result in the recognition of certain deferred taxes upon the closing. The evaluation of the accounting for the Potential Tax Adjustment and the deferred taxes is ongoing and the impact of such adjustments will be included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information when it becomes available.

Table of Contents
   

The Merger Agreement provides for the adoption of an Incentive Equity Plan and an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). As of the Closing Date, there will be shares of New Pubco common stock reserved under the Incentive Equity Plan representing, in the aggregate, 8% of the outstanding capital stock of New Pubco (the “Initial Incentive Equity Plan Pool”). Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement(s) with respect to the Incentive Equity Plan, the New Pubco Board shall authorize the issuance of the Initial Incentive Equity Plan Pool to the Company’s employees, as provided by the Company’s board of directors. The Board has approved an initial grant of 3,500,000 awards (the “Transaction Bonus Share Awards”) which will vest immediately upon grant. These awards have a preliminary estimated grant date fair value of $35.6 million based on a trading price of DTRT common stock of $10.18 per share. The Company expects to make additional grants of both stock options and restricted stock units following the closing of the Business Combination. As these issuances will occur post-closing, any impact of such issuances has not been reflected in the pro forma unaudited condensed combined financial information.

Accounting for the Business Combination

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DTRT is treated as the acquired company and CDH is treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. CDH has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances that are expected to be in place following the consummation of the Business Combination:

 

   

CDH’s existing shareholders will have a greater voting interest in New Pubco under both the No Redemptions and Full Redemption Scenarios as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination;

 

   

by virtue of such estimated voting interest upon the consummation of the Business Combination, CDH’s existing shareholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding the election and removal of directors and officers of New Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination;

 

   

CDH’s senior management will be the senior management of New Pubco; and

 

   

the composition of the New Pubco Board will reflect five (5) members appointed by CDH and two (2) members appointed by DTRT’s Sponsor.

Other factors were considered but they would not change the preponderance of factors indicating that CDH was the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:

 

   

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;

 

   

the historical audited financial statements of DTRT as of December 31, 2021 and for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus;

 

   

the historical unaudited condensed financial statements of DTRT as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus;

 

   

the historical audited consolidated financial statements of CDH as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

 

   

the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CDH as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

 

   

other information relating to DTRT and CDH contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Merger Agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth in the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement” and the risk factors set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Current Charter, DTRT’s public stockholders will be offered the opportunity to redeem, with such redemption to occur upon the consummation of the Business Combination, shares of DTRT Class A common stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination) in the Trust Account.

Description of the No Redemptions and Full Redemption Scenarios

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two redemption scenarios as follows:

 

   

No Redemptions: This scenario assumes no shares of DTRT Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are redeemed.

 

   

Full Redemption: This scenario assumes a full redemption in which 23,000,000 shares of DTRT Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $234.6 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.20 per share). For any cash shortfalls under a Full Redemption scenario, the CDH Cash Consideration will be sourced from the closing date consolidated balance sheet, Debt Financing, or an alternative source of financing.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the Transaction Accounting Adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of New Pubco following the completion of the Business Combination and related transactions. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, shares outstanding as presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information include the following:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. DTRT is treated as the acquired company and CDH is treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of CDH issuing shares for the net assets of DTRT accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DTRT are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (in the case of DTRT, for the period April 19, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021) gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read together with, the following:

 

   

DTRT’s unaudited condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

 

   

CDH’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, has been prepared using, and should be read together with, the following:

 

   

DTRT’s audited statement of operations for the period April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

 

   

CDH’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read together with, the following:

 

   

DTRT’s unaudited condensed statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

 

   

CDH’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on currently available information and management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material.

Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

176


Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any Management Adjustments (as defined under Release No. 33-10786) and therefore does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

 

2.

Accounting Policies

In the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, no reclassifications were determined to be necessary to align DTRT and CDH’s financial statement presentations. Management will perform a comprehensive review of DTRT’s and CDH’s accounting policies upon the completion of the Business Combination. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the entities, which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of New Pubco. There were no intercompany transactions between DTRT and CDH that require adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for any of the periods presented.

 

3.

Deconsolidation of VIEs

CDH consolidates certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is considered the primary beneficiary due to certain financial guarantees on debt arrangements of these entities and serving as the lessee of the sole asset of each entity. On October 10, 2022, CDH and Bank of Montana entered into a definitive agreement (the “Release Letter”) which provides that, upon closing of the Business Combination, CDH will be released from all existing guarantees pertaining to these entities (collectively, the “Release”). As a result of the Release, CDH has determined that these VIEs would be deconsolidated upon closing of the Business Combination as CDH will no longer have a variable interest in these entities. In addition, effective October 14, 2022, CDH and the Consolidated VIEs entered into a lease addendum to remove the renewal term included in each lease arrangement between CDH’s subsidiaries and the Consolidated VIEs.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the deconsolidation of these VIEs as if it had occurred on June 30, 2022 and reflects the derecognition of the historical assets, liabilities and equity of the VIEs. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 give pro forma effect to the deconsolidation as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The deconsolidation adjustments reflect the net impact of (a) the removal of the VIE’s activity and (b) the removal of any eliminations of activity between CDH and the VIEs that would no longer eliminate following deconsolidation. There is no gain or loss recognized on deconsolidation as the net assets of the VIEs are 100% attributable to non-controlling interests.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 are as follows:

 

  a.

Reflects the reclassification of Investments held in Trust Account to Cash and cash equivalents that become available upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

  b.

Reflects preliminary estimated proceeds from the Debt Financing consisting of a $75.0 million term loan and a $40.0 million draw on a revolver. The term loan and revolver are presented net of $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs expected to be incurred to obtain the Debt Financing.

 

  c.

Reflects preliminary estimated transaction costs of CDH of $28.7 million and DTRT of $28.0 million, totaling approximately $56.7 million. This adjustment is inclusive of the $8.1 million deferred underwriting fee payable accrued on DTRT’s balance sheet and $3.6 million of deferred transaction costs and $0.6 million of accrued expenses recorded on CDH’s balance sheet. The remaining costs

 

177


Table of Contents
  have not yet been recognized in the historical financial statements but have been incurred or are expected to be incurred in connection with the Business Combination. Transaction costs include legal, financial advisory and other professional fees related to the Business Combination. In connection with the reverse recapitalization treatment, CDH’s transaction costs are recorded as reductions to Additional paid-in capital.

DTRT’s transaction costs of $20.0 million (not inclusive of the deferred underwriting fee) are recorded through the statement of operations and would be treated as a reduction to DTRT’s historical accumulated deficit; however, as DTRT’s accumulated deficit is reclassified to Additional paid-in capital in connection with the Business Combination, this adjustment is recorded directly to Additional paid-in capital.

 

  d.

Reflects the repayment of $18.8 million of legacy CDH debt upon the consummation of the Business Combination. This adjustment includes the write-off of $1.3 million of related unamortized deferred financing costs recorded net with the debt balances and the recognition of an estimated loss on extinguishment recorded in retained earnings (refer to adjustment cc).

 

  e.

Reflects the estimated $118.4 million CDH Cash Consideration (as calculated based on the definition in the Merger Agreement) to be paid to CDH Equityholders upon the consummation of the Business Combination and the related reduction to Additional paid-in capital. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the cash consideration to the CDH Equityholders will be $118.4 million less fees payable to CDH’s financial advisor in excess of $8.0 million payable out of such cash amount. The CDH Equityholders will pay CDH’s financial advisor this excess amount of $18.4 million. For any cash shortfalls under a Full Redemption scenario, the CDH Cash Consideration will be sourced from the closing date consolidated balance sheet, Debt Financing or an alternative source of financing.

 

  f.

Reflects the cash payment of non-recurring bonuses totaling $8.0 million to certain CDH employees upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The bonuses are expected to be expensed (refer to adjustment gg) rather than recorded to Additional paid-in capital and therefore are reflected as a reduction to retained earnings.

 

  g.

Reflects the repayment of DTRT’s related party balance with its Sponsor upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

  h.

Reflects the No Redemptions Scenario, in which no shares of DTRT Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are redeemed. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, these unredeemed shares would be reclassified to permanent equity.

 

  i.

Reflects the conversion of CDH’s historical equity into stock consideration paid to CDH Equityholders upon close of the Business Combination. The stock consideration consists of the issuance of 51,559,261 shares ($10.20 per share price, $0.0001 par value) of New Pubco common stock as of June 30, 2022. The number of shares of New Pubco common stock issued to the CDH Equityholders is based on the Company Stock Consideration calculation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and will fluctuate based on certain CDH balances outstanding upon the close of the Business Combination, including cash, debt and working capital amounts.

 

  j.

Reflects the conversion of outstanding DTRT Class B common stock into New Pubco common stock.

 

  k.

Pursuant to the Equity Exchange Agreement, represents the purchase of the historical 20% non-controlling interest in CD Washington in exchange for the issuance of 430,000 shares of New Pubco common stock. This adjustment reflects the reclassification of CDH’s historical non-controlling interest in CD Washington to Additional paid-in capital and the recognition of the par value of the shares issued.

 

  l.

Reflects the elimination of the historical accumulated deficit of DTRT.

 

  m.

Reflects the estimated stock-based compensation expense of $35.6 million associated with the vesting of the Transaction Bonus Share Awards granted to certain CDH employees. These awards consist of

 

178


Table of Contents
  (a) unrestricted shares of New Pubco common stock and (b) restricted stock units. Both types of awards vest fully upon grant and therefore are economically equivalent to common shares. The stock-based compensation expense recognized is calculated using a closing trading price of DTRT common stock on October 18, 2022 of $10.18 per share.

 

  n.

Reflects the Full Redemption Scenario, in which 23,000,000 shares of DTRT Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $234.6 million (based on the estimated per share redemption price of approximately $10.20 per share).

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 (in the case of DTRT, for the period April 19, 2021 (its inception) to December 31, 2021) and the six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:

Pursuant to the Equity Exchange Agreement discussed in adjustment k, reflects (a) the reclassification of the historical net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest to net income (loss) attributable to controlling interest, and (b) the estimated management fee of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which would have been incurred had the Equity Exchange Agreement been executed on January 1, 2021.

 

  bb.

Reflects the elimination of DTRT’s administrative service fee paid to its Sponsor that will cease upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and therefore would not have been incurred if the Business Combination were consummated on January 1, 2021.

 

  cc.

In connection with adjustment d, reflects the removal of historical interest expense of $2.0 million and $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, recorded within Interest expense, net as well as the recognition of the loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 recorded in Other income, net arising from the write-off of the unamortized debt issuance costs, both in connection with the repayment of the CDH historical debt upon consummation of the Business Combination.

 

  dd.

Reflects interest expense on the Debt Financing, including the estimated amortization of debt issuance costs. The pro forma adjustment to record interest expense assumes the Debt Financing was entered into on January 1, 2021 and was outstanding for the entire year ended December 31, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022. The initial interest rates assumed for purposes of preparing this pro forma financial information were 8.89% for the term loan and 6.39% for the revolver.

The Company is still negotiating final terms and therefore the final interest rates for the Debt Financing may differ from the amounts assumed in the pro forma financial information. A 1/8 of a percent point increase or decrease in the final interest rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

  ee.

Reflects the elimination of Interest income earned on Trust Account that would not have been earned if the Business Combination were consummated on January 1, 2021.

 

  ff.

Reflects DTRT’s estimated transaction expenses of $20.0 million related to the transaction which have been incurred or are expected to be incurred but are not reflected in the historical financial statements of DTRT. This adjustment is recorded in the annual period consistent with the assumption that the Business Combination was consummated on January 1, 2021 and that these costs would have been incurred upon consummation.

 

  gg.

Reflects $8.0 million of expense related to the payment of cash bonuses to certain employees of CDH upon consummation of the Business Combination.

 

179


Table of Contents
  hh.

In connection with adjustment m, reflects the estimated stock-based compensation expense of $35.6 million associated with the vesting of the Transaction Bonus Share Awards. As these awards vest fully upon grant, the related expense is fully recognized during the annual period.

 

  ii.

Reflects $3.8 million and $0.5 million of estimated income tax expense based on a preliminary estimated blended statutory rate of 25.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, associated with the Company’s new tax structure that would have been incurred had the Business Combination been consummated on January 1, 2021.

 

4.

(Loss) Earnings per Share

Represents the (loss) earnings per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.

Potential dilutive securities include the Public and Sponsor Warrants, which have been excluded from the computation of diluted pro forma (loss) earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

BUSINESS OF DTRT

Introduction

DTRT is a blank check company incorporated on April 19, 2021 as a Delaware corporation whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Prior to executing the Merger Agreement, DTRT’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its Initial Public Offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Initial Public Offering

DTRT has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on DTRT’s business activities, DTRT is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On September 7, 2021, DTRT consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.3 million.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the over-allotment units, DTRT consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of DTRT Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, to Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $11,200,000. The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that, so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by DTRT, (ii) they (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after DTRT completes its initial business combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) they will be entitled to registration rights.

On May 12, 2021, our Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of DTRT’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”) for a total purchase price of $25,000. Of the 5,750,000 Founder Shares outstanding, up to 750,000 shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on September 7, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Sponsor Warrants, approximately $234.6 million was placed in a Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as Trustee. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, the Current Charter provides that none of the funds held in trust will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of an initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any of the public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Current Charter to modify the substance or timing of DTRT’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if DTRT does not complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of its Initial Public Offering or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares if DTRT is unable to complete an Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of DTRT’s Initial Public Offering, subject to applicable law. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

Table of Contents

The net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account remain on deposit in the Trust Account earning interest. As of October 18, 2022, there was approximately $234.6 million in investments and cash held in the Trust Account.

Fair Market Value of CDH’s Business

DTRT’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. DTRT will not complete a business combination unless it acquires a controlling interest in a target company or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The DTRT Board determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

Under the Current Charter, in connection with any proposed business combination, DTRT must seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares, subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for DTRT’s Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, in connection with the Business Combination, the DTRT Stockholders may seek to redeem the public shares that they hold in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

In connection with DTRT’s Initial Public Offering, the Initial Stockholders entered into a letter agreement to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and DTRT also expects them to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Initial Stockholders own 20% of the total outstanding DTRT Shares.

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding DTRT or its securities, the Initial Stockholders, CDH and its affiliates, including its founders, may purchase shares and warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of DTRT Class A common stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that (i) the proposals presented to stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting are approved and (ii) DTRT is able to obtain Financing satisfactory to CDH. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination in a way that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Initial Stockholders for nominal value.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we have only 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete the initial business combination. If we are unable to complete the initial business combination within such 15-month period or during any Extension period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to DTRT to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),

 

182


Table of Contents

divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete the initial business combination within the 15-month time period.

The Initial Stockholders have entered into a Voting Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if we fail to complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or any extended period of time that we may have to consummate an initial business combination as a result of an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The Sponsor and our officers and directors agreed to the waiver in connection with the Business Combination to induce CDH to enter into the Merger Agreement. Such waivers are common in transactions of this sort and the Sponsor and our officers and directors did not view the waiver as separate from the Business Combination as a whole and did not receive separate consideration for the waiver. However, if the Initial Stockholders, Sponsor or management team acquire public shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete the initial business combination within the allotted 15-month time period.

Initial Stockholders have agreed, pursuant to a Voting Letter Agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to DTRT to pay the taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, we may not redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of public shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement, we would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of the public shares at such time.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing the plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $1,375,000 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing the plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, we may request the Trustee to release to DTRT an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account and any tax payments or expenses for the dissolution of the trust, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon the dissolution would be approximately $10.20.

The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of the creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of the public stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.20. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, the plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against DTRT to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must

 

183


Table of Contents

be paid or provided for before we make any distribution of the remaining assets to the stockholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with DTRT waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against the assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, the management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to DTRT and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with DTRT and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to DTRT if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete the initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of the public shares. None of the officers or directors will indemnify DTRT for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, the independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that the independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that the independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.20 per share.

Table of Contents

We will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with DTRT waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to up to approximately $1,375,000 from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from the Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the public stockholders upon the redemption of the public shares in the event we do not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the public stockholders upon the redemption of the public shares in the event we do not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we are unable to complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to DTRT to pay the taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the DTRT Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is the intention to redeem the public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the 15th month and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, the stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of the stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because we will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires DTRT to adopt a plan, based on facts known to DTRT at such time that will provide for the payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against DTRT within the subsequent 10 years. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and the operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from the vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the

 

185


Table of Contents

obligation contained in the underwriting agreement, we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with DTRT waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against DTRT are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the Trust Account is remote. Further, the Sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the Trust Account are not reduced below (i) $10.20 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will not be liable as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

If we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against DTRT that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in the bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.20 per share to the public stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against DTRT that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by the stockholders. Furthermore, the DTRT Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to the creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and the company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against DTRT for these reasons.

The public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of the public shares if we do not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek stockholder approval in connection with the initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to DTRT for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of the Current Charter, like all provisions of the Current Charter, may be amended with a stockholder vote.

Properties

DTRT currently utilizes office space at 1415 West 22nd Street, Tower Floor, Oak Brook IL 60523. DTRT has agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of its management team in an amount of $1,666.66 per month and DTRT does not pay a third party directly for such services. DTRT believes, based on rents and fees for similar services, that this amount is at least as favorable as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. DTRT considers its current office space adequate for its current operations.

Employees

DTRT currently has three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to DTRT’s matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to

 

186


Table of Contents

DTRT’s affairs until it has completed an initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for an initial business combination and the stage of the Business Combination process it is in.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

The DTRT board of directors consists of five members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting) serving a three-year term. In accordance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, DTRT is not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after DTRT’s first fiscal year end following DTRT’s listing on the Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mary Ann Christopher, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Dipa Mehta and Jeannee Parker Martin, will expire at our second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Don Klink and Mark Heaney, will expire at our third annual meeting of stockholders.

DTRT’s officers are appointed by the DTRT Board and serve at the discretion of the DTRT Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to DTRT’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Director Independence

Nasdaq rules require that a majority of the DTRT Board be independent within one year of DTRT’s Initial Public Offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). DTRT has three “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq rules and applicable SEC rules. The DTRT board of directors has determined that each of Dipa Mehta, Jeannee Parker Martin and Mary Ann Christopher is an “independent director” as defined in Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. DTRT’s independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of DTRT’s executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that DTRT’s securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of DTRT’s initial business combination and DTRT’s liquidation, DTRT will pay the Sponsor $1,666.66 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of DTRT’s management team. In addition, DTRT’s executive officers and directors and the Sponsor, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on DTRT’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. DTRT’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to DTRT’s executive officers or directors or the Sponsor, or DTRT or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, DTRT does not expect to have any additional controls in place governing DTRT’s reimbursement payments to DTRT’s directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with DTRT’s activities on DTRT’s behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to DTRT’s executive officers and directors and the Sponsor, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of DTRT’s initial business combination.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF DTRT

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of DTRT Acquisition Corp. (for purposes of this section, the “Company,” “DTRT,” “we,” “us” and “our”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of DTRT included elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward- looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy statement.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 19, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “De-SPAC Transaction”). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is DTRT Health Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13,300,000, of which approximately $8,100,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and approximately $71,000 was for offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 11,200,000 warrants (each, a “Sponsor Warrant” and collectively, the “Sponsor Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $11,200,000.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $234,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Sponsor Warrants were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a De-SPAC Transaction and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $160,000 in our operating bank account and a working capital of approximately $530,000.

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to purchase Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”) and a loan from our Sponsor of $300,000 under a promissory note (the “Note”) dated May 11, 2021. We borrowed $300,000 under the Note since its execution on May 11, 2021, and fully repaid this amount on September 7, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity will be satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a

Table of Contents

De-SPAC Transaction, our Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). As of June 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” we have determined that the mandatory liquidation date and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to complete a De-SPAC Transaction by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. Over this time period, we have used, and will be using, these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the De-SPAC Transaction. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to June 30, 2022, was in preparation for our Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial Public Offering, our search for a prospective target business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $1.9 million, which consisted of approximately $2.0 million change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and $135,000 of interest income from investments held in the Trust Account, offset by approximately $205,000 of general and administrative expenses and approximately $49,000 of franchise tax expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $4.7 million, which consisted of approximately $5.0 million change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and $173,000 of interest income from investments held in the Trust Account, offset by approximately $463,000 of general and administrative expenses and approximately $98,000 of franchise tax expense.

For the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) to June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $43,000, which consisted of $3,000 in general and administrative expenses and approximately $40,000 of franchise tax expense.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Sponsor Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Sponsor Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021.

Table of Contents

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $8,100,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fees will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a De-SPAC Transaction, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed financial statements herein. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the notes to our financial statements included herein. There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed financial statements included herein for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

BUSINESS OF NEW PUBCO

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “CDH,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the business of Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of New Pubco and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Overview

CDH is a leading national provider of self-directed home care solutions, primarily focused on non-medical personal care for long-term aging and disability clients. Given its long history focused on self-directed care, CDH believes it is a pioneer in the consumer directed market, where clients select their own caregiver rather than have one assigned by a staffing agency. CDH is focused on providing clients with self-direction and autonomy for in-home personal care services and provides services and support that help families and people of all ages, including children, older adults and people with disabilities remain safe, healthy and independent in their own home.

The original operations of CDH were established in 1990 in Missoula, Montana, and CDH now serves individuals across the United States, including in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington, and Washington D.C. As of September 30, 2022, CDH served approximately 70,000 people receiving care in their homes. In-home services are principally provided pursuant to agreements with state Medicaid agencies, federal Veterans Administration providers, local government agencies, Managed Care Organizations (“MCO”), commercial insurers, and private individuals.

CDH services and operating models address a number of healthcare needs. We believe that care provided in the home generally costs less than facility-based care and is generally preferred by consumers and their families. By providing services in the home to older adults, people with disabilities, and others who require long-term care and support with activities of daily living, CDH believes that it can lower the cost of chronic and acute care treatment by delaying or eliminating the need for care in more expensive settings.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services define personal care as one of four models:

 

MODEL

  

GROUP

•  Agency-Based Traditional

  

(Agency-Based Care)

•  Traditional Agency Supporting Choice

  

(Agency-Based Care)

•  Agency With Choice (AWC), also known as Co-Employment

  

(Self-Directed Care)

•  Fiscal/Employer Agent (F/EA)

  

(Self-Directed Care)

CDH stands out among its competitors for offering all four models of personal care. Expertise and experience in all in-home care models are advantages when responding to requests for proposals and in creating program attributes required by some payors.

We believe that CDH is a leader in the self-directed home care industry. Self-directed home care is a subset of the home care industry that allows clients and their families to select their care providers. This autonomy allows clients to select the caregiver and services best suited for their individual needs and to customize the care they receive, rather than following a structured model of care.

We believe that allowing Medicaid recipients to self-direct their care provides value to state Medicaid agencies and MCOs including a lower cost of service and higher satisfaction rates versus care in a facility or through a traditional home care agency. State Medicaid agencies continue to implement managed care programs for Medicaid enrollees, and, as a result, MCOs have been increasingly responsible for the healthcare needs and the related healthcare costs of our clients. MCOs have an economic incentive to better manage the healthcare

expenditures of their members, potential to lower costs, and improve outcomes. We believe CDH is well positioned to assist in meeting those goals while also improving consumer satisfaction, resulting in increased opportunities to work with MCOs.

At the initiation of certain services, CDH reviews an assessment of a client’s individual needs, assists in determining if they qualify for financial assistance or payment of its services through government programs (e.g., Medicaid, Veteran’s benefits, etc.), and reviews an overall care plan to help the client meet their personal care needs. In some instances, this plan may include the provision of nursing, mental health counseling or other community support services from the appropriate third parties. CDH’s comprehensive approach unifies elements of individual and community health and support tailored to its client’s needs.

Market and Opportunity

CDH provides personal care services to assist with activities of daily living of its clients to allow older adults and people with a range of physical, intellectual or developmental disabilities to maintain their independence at home. Personal care services are a significant component of home and community-based services (“HCBS”), which have grown in significance and demand in recent years due to the aging demographic and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the demand for personal care services is growing as managed care expands and the population ages. MCOs aim to manage cost, utilization and quality through collaboration of health insurance plans and healthcare providers.

Demand for HCBS is expected to continue to grow due to the aging of the U.S. population and improved opportunities for individuals to receive home-based care as an alternative to institutional care. Because our models serve an aging population, as well as an array of other population groups, in a home setting at a lower cost, we believe CDH has favorable opportunities for growth. HCBS seems to carry bipartisan support in Congress. During the COVID-19 pandemic, HCBS funding was temporarily increased to a 10% Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (“FMAP”) through the American Rescue Plan. Also, HCBS funding was originally included in the Budget Reconciliation Bill (previously known as the Better Care Better Jobs Act). This funding represented a historic $150 billion dollar investment in HCBS services and contemplated a 10% increase in FMAP as well as a 2% increase should states pursue Agency with Choice programs in self-direction. While this proposed HCBS funding did not make it into the final Bill package, CDH believes that it demonstrates the potential and recognized need for increased HCBS funding and may serve as a starting point for future governmental HCBS funding negotiations and support.

CDH believes the strength of its network and wide array of caregiving models positions it well to reach a wide and increasing array of clients at different stages of their healthcare journey. CDH works with many populations including older adults, adults with physical disabilities, adults and children with intellectual/developmental disabilities, medically-fragile individuals, individuals with HIV or AIDS, people with traumatic or acquired brain injury, and veterans. Our self-directed service models allow clients to have a role in selecting, training, scheduling, and dismissing their in-home caregiver. Further, our service delivery strategy is based on fostering and maintaining a high level of customer service that is designed to provide a personalized care approach for each individual and family we serve.

To maintain cost efficiency, we balance our high-touch customer service strategy with an efficient and streamlined administrative support strategy. From our headquarters in Missoula, Montana, we provide back-office and administrative services, including accounting, payroll, claims processing, human resources, risk management, program development, training, and information systems, to facilitate support for more than 70,000 clients nationwide as of September 30, 2022.

We believe that there are relatively low barriers to entry in the personal care market in the Agency-Based Traditional care segments, as demonstrated by the large number of small and medium sized providers

nationwide. As a result, this portion of the personal care service industry is considered fragmented. Even so, some larger players are emerging as a result of acquisitions or consolidations.

Table of Contents

Self-directed services (AWC and F/EA) are an exception to this fragmentation where state Medicaid contracts and economies of scale requirements have created significant barriers to entry in large scale scenarios. It is our belief that ongoing consolidation can be expected within our industry, driven by the desire of healthcare systems and managed care organizations to narrow their networks of service providers and ensure quality. Additionally, Medicaid-funded programs feature a mature set of programs, operating and technology requirements. We believe CDH is well positioned to capitalize on a consolidating industry given our reputation in the market, strong customer relationships with state and MCO payors, and integration of technology into our business model.

Growth Strategy

Our continued growth depends, among others, on the following strategic objectives, which we discuss in further detail below:

 

   

Expand market share within our current contracts;

 

   

Win incremental contracts;

 

   

Win new contracts;

 

   

Explore strategic acquisition opportunities; and

 

   

Maintain an efficient and streamlined administrative support strategy.

We believe there are several market opportunities for growth as the population continues to age and further believe that such individuals generally prefer to receive care in their homes versus in a facility. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened this preference due to health concerns that may be associated with institutional settings for long-term care, along with concerns about the re-imposition of visitor restrictions that occurred in many long-term care facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we believe that home-based care services are generally more cost-effective than similar services in long-term care institutions. CDH plans to continue to focus on revenue growth and on enhancing its competitive positioning by executing on the following growth strategies:

Expand our Current Contracts

CDH intends to focus on providing better service and reliability to our existing state Medicaid agency and MCO customers to grow our market share within our existing contracts. Our service delivery strategy focuses on providing a personalized approach to clients and families we serve. Our goal is to drive continued growth from an increase in demand for our services by an aging population and our increased alignment with referral sources and MCOs.

Win Incremental Contracts

CDH intends to leverage its existing relationships and brand reputation to increase its market share in the markets in which it currently operates, to move into and access new markets, and to respond to proposals in new markets. We are focused on leveraging our existing MCO relationships to increase our presence and market share – specifically in Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin – with new contracts. We also intend to leverage our existing MCO relationships to pursue new markets, including those in Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and Ohio. We are currently responding to proposals in Tennessee and Pennsylvania and intend to respond to proposals in new markets as they come available.

Win New Contracts

In addition to focusing on expanding within our current contracts and winning incremental contracts, CDH intends to pursue significant new contracts. We are focused on, and have historically been successful in, securing

 

197


Table of Contents

large groups of customers through long-term contracts with payors. We intend to focus on developing and expanding relationships with customers through these contracts, which tend to be long-term and steady. By leveraging our existing stakeholder relationships, we believe there are opportunities to access new and large markets for MCO and state Medicaid contracts in regions including in Oregon, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and for segments in California.

For example, building on longstanding relationships, we bid on and signed a sole-source contract in the State of Washington. In October 2021, the Company began the pilot phase of the Washington Contract, followed by a full implementation of the contract beginning in the first quarter of 2022 and completion of implementation in the second quarter of 2022. The Washington Contract has a seven-year term beginning in February 2022, with a five-year renewal option, and has the potential to improve the financial profile of the business. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, the Company’s Washington entity went from 0 participants and $0 in revenue to 44,356 participants and $550.8 million in revenue, respectively. We expect to derive a significant portion of our net service revenues from services provided in Washington in the future.

Explore Strategic Acquisition Opportunities

Some of the markets we serve are fragmented and we see the potential for growth through strategic acquisition in those markets. We intend to pursue acquisition targets in new and existing geographic markets to the extent they fit our mission, culture, and growth strategy. We also intend to consider vertical integration opportunities through the purchase of technology companies that could complement our existing platform and service offerings.

Maintain an Efficient and Streamlined Administrative Support Strategy

We balance our high-touch customer service strategy with an efficient and streamlined administrative support strategy. We provide administrative services – including accounting, payroll, claims processing, human resources, risk management, program development, training, and information systems – to facilitate support for our clients nationwide. In the past several years, we have focused on developing a technology infrastructure and client platform that is flexible and responsive to the requests of our clients and payors, while also being scalable for future growth. We intend to maintain this strategy and continue to develop and update our administrative support services to continue supporting our clients efficiently.

Self-Directed Services

Since the early 2000s, the Company has built experience, expertise and a reputation within its industry as a leader in self-directed care. CDH supports older adults, people with long term disabilities, and people with intellectual/developmental disabilities who wish to self-direct their in-home personal care. Rather than being limited by a pre-defined support model, we help our clients receive flexible and customizable care that supports their unique and individual needs and desires. CDH serves most of its clients in one of the self-directed care models. As of October 2022, more than 90% of CDH’s clients served were in a self-directed program. Under many of our self-directed care services, each client, or their authorized representative, has the autonomy to select a caregiver who provides in-home personal care services and to train, schedule, and dismiss their in-home caregiver, which allows individuals to have more choice and control over the services they receive.

Personal Care

CDH’s personal care operations provide non-medical assistance with activities of daily living, primarily to persons who are at increased risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as older adults, people who are chronically ill, or people with disabilities. The services we provide include assistance with bathing, grooming, oral care, feeding and dressing, medication reminders, meal planning and preparation, housekeeping, and transportation services. Many clients need such services on a long-term basis to address chronic conditions.

The majority of CDH’s services are provided through contracts with state Medicaid agencies and MCOs with most of our clients qualifying to receive care via Medicaid state plan or HCBS waiver programs.

Table of Contents

We provide services through four different personal care models as described by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services:

Traditional Agency Care Models

Agency-Based Traditional

 

   

Provider agency: employs, schedules, and directs the caregiver’s actions in the client’s home.

 

   

Client or client’s authorized representative: has no responsibilities regarding directing care.

Traditional Agency Supporting Choice

 

   

Provider agency: recruits, hires, manages, and dismisses caregivers on behalf of clients.

 

   

Client or client’s authorized representative: interviews and selects caregivers from a pool of potential caregivers.

Self-Directed Care Models

Agency With Choice (Co-Employment)

 

   

Provider agency: serves as the employer of record and processes caregiver payroll, pays workers’ compensation, withholds state and federal taxes, and secures background checks. Amongst other duties, the provider agency assists in the provision of care with in-person enrollments, monitoring visits, providing health reporting (mandatory fraud and abuse), and training caregivers on important safety and anti-fraud measures.

 

   

Client or client’s authorized representative: serves as the managing employer and may participate in selecting, training and dismissing caregivers.

Fiscal/Agent Employer Model:

 

   

Provider agency: provides training, support brokerage, assistance managing each client’s service budget, processes caregiver payroll, and withholds state and federal taxes. Also assists clients in establishing a Federal Employment Identification Number for tax purposes.

 

   

Training and Support Broker Services may be separately provided service(s) in some situations.

 

   

Client or client’s authorized representative: acts as a common law employer and recruits, hires, trains, and dismisses caregivers.

Client Satisfaction

CDH client satisfaction surveys show clients are more satisfied as they gain choice and control over their personal care. Comparing internal satisfaction results:

 

•  AWC

   97.6%

•  F/EA

   95.3%

•  Traditional Agency

   92.0%

The CDH client satisfaction survey was conducted by CDH’s quality improvement team, which is an in-house department that is structurally separated from the rest of the organization and that reports to its own Senior Director. As part of its client satisfaction survey, CDH surveyed a total of 511 AWC clients, 2,781 FEA and support broker clients and 46 traditional agency clients in 13 states over the 2021 services year. CDH posed between 27 and 43 questions depending on the category of program clients surveyed. The survey focused on enrollment, customer service, training, assistance, tools and cultural competency.

The federal, state and local programs under which the agencies operate are subject to legislative and budgetary changes and other risks that can influence reimbursement rates. MCOs that often operate under state agencies are subject to similar economic pressures.

Renewals are contingent upon certification and program standards, other regulatory requirements, and successful negotiation of contract requirements and rates. Reimbursement rates and methods vary by state and service type, and include hourly or unit-of-service basis as the primary method (2022). MCOs are a significant portion of our personal care segment payor mix which is driven by states shifting from directly administering fee-for-service programs to utilizing managed care models.

Competition

CDH’s industry is highly competitive, fragmented in some cases, and market specific relative to the different service models. State Medicaid programs set their own rules and requirements which therefore vary from state to state. MCOs must apply and compete in each market. Depending on the state or the MCO payors, some issue a sole source contract, some prefer two to five competitors to divide the work, while others prefer an open field of competition. When comparing service models and competitors, each local market has its own competitive profile and no single competitor has significant market share across all markets.

For traditional agency services, our competition consists of personal care service provider agencies, private caregivers, larger publicly held companies, privately held companies, privately held single-site agencies, hospital-based agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and community-based organizations. The traditional agency competition is highly fragmented, but some national companies are emerging through consolidation and merger activity.

The competitive environment for F/EA services, varies state to state and is dependent on state regulations. In most states, CDH competes with a handful of relatively smaller F/EA providers. In some states where there is less regulation, there may be many providers in the market, but generally the larger providers control the majority of the business.

In AWC services, we believe that there are no current competitors at CDH’s scale and for the large, statewide contract AWC market. This is due to the high barriers to entry including having significant financial and human resource capabilities to acquire Medicaid contracts in which the AWC provider employs tens of thousands of caregivers, and the technology geared to support the self-directed caregiving work.

CDH is accustomed to competing in each market, and we anticipate additional competition from new entrants into our markets. Increased competition may result in pricing pressures, loss of or failure to gain market share or loss of clients or payors, any of which could harm our business.

Sales and Marketing

CDH focuses on initiating and maintaining working relationships with MCOs and state and local governmental agencies responsible for the provision of the services we offer. We target these agencies in our current markets and in geographical areas that we have identified as potential markets for expansion. We also seek to identify service needs or changes in the service delivery or reimbursement systems of governmental entities and attempt to work with and provide input to the responsible government personnel, provider associations and consumer advocacy groups.

We have established and aim to continue to establish new referral relationships with various MCOs who contract with state Medicaid programs. We meet with the MCOs in markets we serve and work to build the relationships necessary to generate contracts and continued referrals of new clients.

 

201


Table of Contents

We believe that we receive the majority of our personal care clients through third-party referrals, including state departments on aging, rehabilitation, mental health and children’s services, county departments of social services, MCOs, the Veterans Health Administration and city departments on aging. Generally, family members of potential consumers are made aware of available in-home or alternative living arrangements through state or local case management systems. These case management systems are operated by governmental or private agencies.

We also utilize consumer-directed sales, marketing and advertising programs designed to attract consumers. State and regional services program directors manage local contract relationships and pursue local opportunities. Our sales and marketing team is made up of eight individuals covering our targeted services areas.

Payment for Services

We receive reimbursement for the majority of our services from federal, state and local government programs, including Medicaid state programs, Medicaid MCOs, other state agencies and the Veterans Health Administration. On a smaller scale, we receive reimbursement from commercial insurance and private pay consumers. Depending on the type of service, coverage for services may be predicated on a case manager, physician or nurse determination that the care is necessary or on the development of a plan for care in the home.

Medicaid Programs

Medicaid is a state-administered program that provides certain social and medical services to qualified low-income individuals and is jointly funded by the federal government and individual states. Reimbursement rates and methods vary by state and service type, but often are based on an hourly or unit-of-service basis (in 2022, hourly or unit rate billing will be the predominate method based upon gross revenue). Rates are subject to adjustment based on statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, government funding limitations and interpretations of policy by individual state agencies. Within guidelines established by federal statutes and regulations, and subject to federal oversight, each state establishes its own eligibility standards, determines the type, amount, duration and scope of services, sets the rate of payment for services and administers its own program. States typically cover episodic home health services for Medicare beneficiaries, but cover continuous services for children and young adults with complicated medical conditions and home and community-based services for seniors and people with disabilities via Medicaid programs.

Currently, personal care services and other HCBS are largely reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis. Some states have received permission from CMS to provide HCBS under waivers of traditional Medicaid requirements. In an effort to control escalating Medicaid costs, states are increasingly requiring Medicaid beneficiaries to enroll in MCOs for better coordination of HCBS and health care services. Reimbursement from MCOs for personal care services is generally on an hourly or unit-based, fee-for-service basis with rates consistent with or as a percentage of the individual state funded rates, where applicable.

Veterans Health Administration

The Veterans Health Administration operates the nation’s largest integrated healthcare system, with more than 1,200 healthcare facilities, and provides healthcare benefits, including personal care and home health services, to eligible military veterans. The Veterans Health Administration provides funding to regional and local offices and facilities that support the in-home care needs of eligible aged and disabled veterans. Services are funded by local Veterans Medical Centers and the aid and attendance pension, which reimburses veterans for their otherwise unreimbursed health and long-term care expenses. We currently have relationships and sub-agreements with the Veterans Health Administration to provide personal care services for veterans in several states, including Alaska, Colorado, and Montana.

Table of Contents

Other

Other sources of funding are available to support personal care in different states and localities. For example, many states appropriate general funds or special use funds through targeted taxes or lotteries to finance personal care services for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. Depending on the state, these funds may be used to supplement existing Medicaid programs or for distinct programs that serve non-Medicaid eligible consumers.

COVID-19 Pandemic Relief

Federal and state governments have passed legislation, promulgated regulations, and taken other administrative actions intended to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 patients and other patients during the public health emergency.

Commercial Insurance

Most long-term care insurance policies contain benefits for in-home services. Policies are generally subject to dollar limitations on the amount of daily, weekly or monthly coverage provided.

Private Pay

Our private pay services are provided on an hourly or type of services basis. Our rates are established to achieve a pre-determined gross margin, and are competitive with those of other local providers. We bill our private pay clients for services rendered weekly, semi-monthly or monthly. Other private payors include workers’ compensation programs/insurance, preferred provider organizations, and employers.

Collective Bargaining Agreement

In support of its Washington Consumer Directed Employer (“CDE”) program, CDH has hired, as employees, more than 40,000 individual providers (“IPs”) and actively recruits new interested, available, and qualified IPs to provide services, as required under the CDE contract. The IPs are members of the Service Employees International Union 775 (“SEIU 775”). CDH is the legal employer of each IP and, as the legal employer, CDH’s primary responsibilities are to pay IP wages and benefits and manage IP working conditions, amongst others. IPs are compensated on an hourly basis for services rendered. The wage rates, benefits, and working conditions, among other things, are negotiated and agreed to in a collective bargaining agreement (the “CBA”) between SEIU 775 and CDH (as the successor organization identified by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (“WA-DSHS”)). WA-DSHS originally negotiated the CBA prior to identifying CDH as the CDE, or successor organization; however, as of 2022, the responsibility to negotiate the CBA, including wage rates lies with CDH.

Technology

CDH considers information technology solutions as a vital aspect of the business and a competitive differentiator in the market. We have invested heavily in a strategy of scalability, adaptability and high performance to position the Company to support high transaction volumes across a functionally diverse portfolio of operating companies.

Our strategic IT goals are being demonstrated in Washington, our largest and most functionally complex operating program, now in its second year of continuous operation on a new operating platform. The new platform provides capabilities above and beyond our conventional legacy offerings and we are moving with urgency to migrate those operations to the new platform.

 

203


Table of Contents

Our technology infrastructure is largely cloud-based, allowing us to practically address scalability challenges and easily implement new technology.    All of our primary IT workloads are now in the cloud, yet we still operate certain workloads “on-premise” in a third-party Tier-3 datacenter.

Our technology solution includes multiple cloud applications for managing our business which enable and automate our mission-critical business functions. To ensure our platforms are adaptable, we have deployed a custom-built solution for the critical workloads supporting transaction capture/processing, business rules engine processing, and claims processing. These solutions were developed in collaboration with Microsoft and showcase best practices for functionally complex and high-volume workloads. We operate our payroll, human resources and finance workloads on the commercially available platforms Workday and Solomon.

Effective and efficient transaction capture/processing and business rule evaluation is vital to the business and essential to being able to sustain our current capacity of 200,000 caregivers. We capture caregiver entries (service visit information including start times, end times, service details and service location) through a custom web portal and through an electronic visit verification (EVV) platform provided by CellTrak. Our platform also interfaces with a variety of EVV offerings from other vendors, depending on the payor preference, enhancing our ability to adapt to unique contract requirements. To reduce operational costs and enhance user satisfaction, we emphasize caregiver and participant self-service through information technology approaches that provide detailed information on user registration, setup and status, transaction status and payroll status.    

Our custom-built claims processing capability and Workday-hosted financial management capability provide the essential claims billing and accounting services to support the unique rules and methods for 65 different payors. Analytics on transaction results and processing insights are supported by extensive instrumentation throughout the IT infrastructure and applications, so that we can quickly identify sub-optimized processes, outcomes and approaches.

We have invested heavily in resources to operate, maintain, extend and enhance our technology solutions. We rely on our internal resources to provide solution leadership and delivery and engage outside experts and offshore development resources (Microsoft) to complement our teams and provide capacity and technical expertise.

Insurance Coverage and Costs

We maintain workers’ compensation, general and professional liability, cyber, automobile, directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary liability and excess liability insurance. We offer various health insurance plans to eligible full-time and part-time employees. We believe our insurance coverage and self-insurance reserves are adequate for our current operations. However, we cannot be certain that any potential losses or asserted claims will not exceed such insurance coverage and self-insurance reserves.

Human Capital

We value our employees and recognize them as being the reason for our success. Caregivers who provide care to our clients in their homes make up the majority of our workforce.

The following is a breakdown of our full-time and part-time employees, including caregivers and our administrative staff who provide back-office functions including, but not limited to, operations management, payroll processing, IT maintenance and development, human resources, government relations and communications. In self-directed, in-home care we directly employ many caregivers, and we also support and process payroll for caregivers who are employed by each Medicaid client.

CDH benefits from the unique environment of the self-directed caregiver staffing model in which clients typically have a familial or pre-existing relationship with their caregiver. Caregivers are often family members or friends of the family and are motivated to provide care because of their relationship with the client or the family. For the most part, CDH generally does not face the same staffing challenges as traditional agencies due to this pre-existing client/caregiver relationship.

In most of the self-directed programs CDH operates, caregivers are selected, trained, supervised, and dismissed by the clients (or a client’s authorized representative) who receive care. CDH operations staff provide varying degrees of assistance including, as necessary, recruiting assistance, referral to caregiver job boards, and enrollment support.

CDH assists with the administrative functions associated with caregiver employment. Caregivers may, depending on the state, undergo an Office of Attorney General (OIG) and criminal background check and are provided with pre-service training and orientation. Depending on program requirements, caregivers may also be required to attend in-service education. In certain states, caregivers are required to complete certified training programs and maintain a state certification.

As of September 30, 2022, approximately 58% of our total employees were represented by labor unions, with which we maintain strong working relationships. We have one collective bargaining agreement and one labor harmony agreement with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) local 775.

Government Regulation

Overview

CDH is subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation. Changes in the laws and regulations, including the governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may have a material impact on the definition of permissible activities, the relative cost of doing business, and the methods and amounts of payment for care by both governmental and other payors. In addition, differences among state laws may impede CDH’s ability to expand into certain markets. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in administrative, civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of licenses to operate and ability to participate in federal or state programs. In addition, the healthcare industry has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, extensive and dynamic change.

Medicaid Participation

For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 98.5% of our revenues were generated by state Medicaid programs. With participation under state Medicaid programs and Medicaid managed care organizations, CDH personal care service lines are subject to various requirements imposed by federal and state authorities. Violation of applicable federal and state regulations governing Medicaid participation, could result in prevention of participation in federal and state healthcare programs and cause us to be subject to substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties.

Medicaid Reimbursement.    State Medicaid programs implement reimbursement policies for the products and services we provide. Such policies may or may not be similar to those of the Medicare program. Budget pressures on state Medicaid programs often result in pricing and coverage changes that may have a detrimental impact on our operations. States sometimes have adopted alternative pricing methods for HME products and services under their Medicaid programs that reduce the level of reimbursement received by us, without a corresponding offset or increase to compensate for the service costs incurred.

The 21st Century Cures Act accelerated the implementation of the omnibus spending bill passed in December 2015 that requires state Medicaid agencies to match Medicare reimbursement rates for certain DME items, including oxygen, to be effective beginning January 1, 2018. Through passage of the 21st Century Cures Act, Congress added section 1903 (i)(27) to the SSA, which prohibits federal Medicaid reimbursement to states for certain DME expenditures that are, in the aggregate, in excess of what Medicare would have paid for such items. As such, a state’s Medicaid expenditures for DME items that are subject to this provision will be determined in the aggregate and any expenditures in excess of what Medicare would have paid for such items in the aggregate, either on a fee schedule basis or under its competitive bidding process, are not eligible for federal financial participation. CMS issued guidance through a federal register notice published on November 28, 2017 and in a state Medicaid director letter dated December 27, 2017 regarding state implementation of this Medicaid program requirement. Unfortunately, most states did not take the appropriate action and this became effective on January 1, 2018. States then worked to enact changes to their fee schedules. In addition, states considered whether to make such changes retroactive to January 1, 2018. The impact of this Medicaid program requirement has varied by state, depending on how much the state’s Medicaid fee-for-service rate differs from the applicable Medicare rate.

On January 30, 2020, CMS, on behalf of the Trump Administration, announced a new opportunity called the Healthy Adult Opportunity (“HAO”) to support states with greater flexibility to improve the health of their Medicaid populations. According to the Trump Administration, the HAO “emphasizes the concept of value-based care while granting states with extensive flexibility to administer and design their programs within a defined budget.” The Trump Administration viewed HAO as a unique opportunity for states to enhance their Medicaid program’s integrity and potentially increase enrollment opportunities for previously ineligible recipients. About 5 million people in non-expansion states could theoretically be eligible under the criteria CMS outlined. CMS states that other low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities will not be affected by this initiative; however, this in all likelihood will be subject to highly tailored and nuanced state specifications for this targeted population. As a part of HAO, CMS encourages states to implement evidence-based payment and delivery system reforms, including a combination of fee-for-service and managed care delivery systems that can be altered over the course of the demonstration. As this program can yield enrollment opportunities for previously ineligible enrollees, and can lead to alternate payment methodologies, any adoption by individual states must be reviewed. It is likely that, consistent with President Biden’s January 28, 2021 Executive Order on Strengthening Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, the Biden Administration will significantly modify or repeal the HAO.

We continuously evaluate the possibility of discontinuing or reducing, as permitted, our Medicaid business in certain states with reimbursement policies that make it difficult for us to conduct our operations profitably. We cannot currently predict the adverse impact, if any, that any such reduction in our Medicaid business might have on our business, financial condition and results of operations, but such impact could be material. In addition, we cannot predict whether states may consider adopting additional reimbursement reductions or whether any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

HIPAA / HITECH / Federal and State Consumer Protection and Privacy and Security Requirements.     The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) applies to covered entities (health care providers that engage in electronic standard transactions, health plans, and health care clearinghouses) and their business associates (persons or entities that provide services for or on behalf of covered entities involving the creation, receipt, maintenance, and/or transmission of HIPAA protected health information

(“PHI”). HIPAA is comprised of a number of obligations and individual rights pertaining to the privacy and security of certain PHI, security measures that must be implemented in connection with protecting PHI and related systems, as well as the standard formatting of certain electronic health transactions. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”) (enacted under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) further regulated how covered entities and business associates may use and disclose PHI. In addition, HIPAA requires covered entities to use the electronic standard transactions, operating rules, code sets and unique identifiers that have been adopted through regulation by the Secretary. Most of our entities are subject to HIPAA, either being covered entities or business associates of covered entities. In either case, we are parties to business associate agreements that outline the respective rights and responsibilities related to the use and safeguarding of PHI in accordance with the requirements of HIPAA and HITECH.

Under the 21st Century Cures Act, Congress authorized Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (“ONC”) to engage in rulemaking that would drive interoperability and provide timely access to health information through standardized application programming interfaces (“APIs”) to seamlessly coordinate care, improve outcomes and reduce the cost of care, known as the “Information Blocking Rules.” CMS also published new regulations under their authority to regulate managed care plans and healthcare providers participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs that enable better patient access to their health information and reduce the burden on Payors and providers. The Information Blocking Rules became effective on April 5, 2021. We may be considered an “actor” subject to the Information Blocking Rules or will participate in a health information exchange or network under the ONC and CMS Interoperability Rules and we will likely be required to comply with the new regulatory framework that is emerging around value-based payments and patient-centered care.

Numerous other federal and state laws that protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PHI and healthcare related data also apply to us. In many cases, these laws are more restrictive than, and not preempted by, the HIPAA and HITECH rules and requirements, and may be subject to varying interpretation by courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and potentially exposing us to additional expenses, adverse publicity and liability.

Further, federal and state consumer laws are being applied increasingly by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and state attorneys general, to regulate the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, and to ensure that appropriate data safeguards are implemented by business and organizations that are maintaining personal information about individuals. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which became effective on January 1, 2020, gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of “sales” of the consumer’s personal information, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by requiring covered businesses to provide new disclosures to California consumers. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. Additional requirements resulting from the approval of Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) are also on the horizon, with a January 1, 2023 compliance deadline that both amends and expands the CCPA. Virginia and Colorado have recently passed similar data privacy laws and other states including Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island also are considering laws that would give consumers increased control over their personal data. Courts also may adopt the standards for fair information practices promulgated by the FTC that concern consumer notice, choice, security and access.

New information standards, whether implemented pursuant to federal or state laws, could have a significant effect on the manner in which we must handle healthcare related data, and the cost of complying with such standards could be significant. We have implemented various compliance measures in connection with the HIPAA, HITECH and 21st Century Cures Act rules and requirements, and other federal and state privacy and security rules and requirements, but we may be required to take additional steps, including costly system purchases and modifications, to comply with these rules and requirements as they may evolve over time. We face

potential administrative, civil and criminal sanctions if we do not comply with the existing or new laws and regulations dealing with the privacy and security of PHI and patient information. Imposition of any such sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Similarly, if we, or any of our business associates, experience a breach of PHI or other personal information, the breach reporting requirements required by HIPAA or other applicable federal or state laws could result in substantial financial liability and reputational harm.

Health Reform

The U.S. Congress and certain state legislatures have passed many laws and regulations in recent years intended to effect major change within the national healthcare system, the most prominent of which is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively known as ACA). The ACA affects how healthcare services are delivered and reimbursed through the expansion of public and private health insurance coverage, reduction of growth in Medicare and Medicaid program spending, and the establishment and expansion of programs that tie reimbursement to quality and integration. The law has been subject to legislative and regulatory changes and court challenges. Although the current presidential administration has indicated its intent to protect the ACA, it is possible that there may be continued changes to the ACA, its implementation or interpretation.

Many states are exploring payment and delivery reform initiatives, including quality of care incentives. Some states use or have applied to use Medicaid waivers granted by CMS to implement the ACA’s Medicaid expansion provisions, impose different eligibility or enrollment restrictions, or otherwise implement programs that vary from federal standards. However, President Biden issued an executive order in 2021 that instructed certain federal governmental agencies to review and reconsider their existing policies and rules that limit access to health insurance coverage and CMS subsequently reduced certain Medicaid program flexibilities it had previously granted. Enrollment in managed Medicaid plans has increased in recent years, as state governments seek to control the cost of Medicaid programs. Managed Medicaid programs enable states to contract with one or more entities for patient enrollment, care management and claims adjudication. The states usually do not relinquish program responsibilities for financing, eligibility criteria and core benefit plan design.

The CMS Innovation Center tests innovative payment and service delivery systems to reduce Medicare and Medicaid program expenditures while maintaining or enhancing quality. For example, the CMS Innovation Center has supported funding of home health providers that offer chronic care management services and establishment of pilot programs that bundle acute care hospital services with physician services and post-acute care services, which may include home health services for certain patients. The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act) requires HHS, in conjunction with the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, to propose a unified post-acute care payment model by 2023. A unified post-acute care payment model would pay post-acute care providers, such as long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies, under a single framework according to a patient’s characteristics, rather than the post-acute care setting where the patient receives treatment. These systems could have a material impact on our business. It is difficult to predict the nature and success of future financial or delivery system reforms implemented by HHS, the CMS Innovation Center and other industry participants and whether it will have any impact on Medicaid covered in-home care services.

There is uncertainty regarding the potential impact of health reform efforts at the federal and state levels. For example, some members of Congress have proposed measures that would expand government-sponsored coverage, including single-payor models. Some states have implemented or are considering measures such as individual health insurance mandates and public health insurance options. Other industry participants, such as private payors and large employer groups and their affiliates, may also introduce financial or delivery system reforms. Health reform initiatives and proposals from the government or the private sector may impact prices, our relationships with patients, payors or ancillary providers, and our competitive position, among other effects. HCBS Funding has become increasingly important for both the federal government and state governments. As

noted above, HCBS carries bipartisan support in Congress and increased priorities on funding mechanisms and potential for more permanent programs for HCBS remain under discussion.

Permits and Licensure

CDH’s personal care services are authorized or licensed under various state and county requirements, which cover a variety of topics including standards regarding the provision of medical or care services, clinical records, personnel, infection control and care plans. Additionally, health care professionals at our agencies may be required to be individually licensed or certified under state law. Although personal care service caregivers are generally not subject to licensure requirements, certain states require them to complete pre- and post-employment training programs, background checks, and, in certain instances, maintain state certification. CDH is currently licensed appropriately as required by the laws of the states in which we operate in all material respects, but additional licensing requirements may be imposed upon us in existing markets or markets that we enter in the future.

Fraud and Abuse Laws

The laws and regulations governing CDH operations impose certain requirements and limitations on our operations, business arrangements and our interactions with providers and consumers. These laws include, but are not limited to, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, other federal and state fraud and abuse, insurance fraud, and fee-splitting laws, which may extend to services reimbursable by any payor, including private insurers.

The fraud and abuse laws and regulations to which we are subject include, but are not limited to:

 

   

The federal Anti-Kickback statute, which prohibits providers and others from directly or indirectly soliciting, receiving, offering or paying any remuneration with the intent of generating referrals or orders for services or items covered by a federal health care program. Courts have interpreted this statute broadly and held that there is a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute if just one purpose of the remuneration is to generate referrals.

 

   

The federal physician self-referral law, commonly known as the Stark Law, which prohibits physicians from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to healthcare entities in which they or any of their immediate family members have ownership interests or other financial arrangements, if these entities provide certain “designated health services” (including home health services) reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid, unless an exception applies. The Stark Law also prohibits entities that provide designated health services reimbursable by Medicare and Medicaid from billing the Medicare and Medicaid programs for any items or services that result from a prohibited referral and requires the entities to refund amounts received for items or services provided pursuant to the prohibited referral on a timely basis.

 

   

The federal FCA and similar state laws that govern the submission of healthcare claims for reimbursement and prohibit the making of false claims or statements. The government may use the FCA to prosecute Medicare and other government program fraud in areas such as coding errors and billing for services not provided. Among the many other potential bases for liability is the knowing and improper failure to report and refund amounts owed to the government within 60 days of identifying an overpayment. Submission of claims for services or items generated in violation of the Anti-kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the FCA. The federal government has taken the position, and some courts have held, that providers who allegedly have violated other statutes, such as the Stark Law, have thereby submitted false claims under the FCA. The FCA may be enforced directly by the federal government or by a whistleblower on the government’s behalf.

 

   

The federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other conduct, offering remuneration to influence a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary’s selection of a healthcare provider,

 

209


Table of Contents
 

contracting with an individual or entity known to be excluded from a federal healthcare program, billing for services not rendered or for medically unnecessary services, misrepresenting actual services rendered in order to obtain higher reimbursement, and the failure to return overpayments in a timely manner.

 

   

State anti-kickback and self-referral provisions, false claims laws, insurance fraud laws, and fee-splitting laws. The scope and interpretation of these state laws vary, and in some cases apply to items or services reimbursed by any payor, including patients and commercial insurers.

Penalties for violation of various fraud and abuse laws or other failure to substantially comply with the numerous conditions of participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs may result in criminal penalties, civil sanctions, including substantial civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.

Payment Integrity

CDH is subject to routine and periodic surveys and audits by various governmental agencies and other payors. From time to time, we receive and respond to survey reports containing statements of deficiencies. Periodic and random audits conducted or directed by these agencies could result in a delay in receipt or an adjustment to the amount of reimbursements due or received under federal or state programs.

CMS and state Medicaid agencies contract with third parties to promote the integrity of the Medicaid and Medicare programs through reviews of quality concerns and detections and corrections of improper payments. For example, CMS and state Medicaid agencies contract with recovery audit contractors (“RACs”) on a contingency fee basis to conduct post-payment reviews to detect and correct improper payments in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, CMS engages unified program integrity contractors (“UPICS”) to perform proactive analysis, audits, investigations and other program integrity functions across the Medicare and Medicaid programs, with the goal of identifying and deterring fraud and abuse to avoid improper payments.

From time to time, various federal and state agencies, such as HHS, issue pronouncements that identify practices and provider types that may be subject to heightened scrutiny, as well as practices that may violate fraud and abuse laws. We believe, but cannot assure you, that our operations comply with the principles expressed by HHS in these reports, advisories and guidance.

HIPAA and Other Privacy and Security and Data Exchange Requirements

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (HIPAA) and its implementing regulations require the use of uniform electronic data transmission standards and code sets for certain healthcare claims and reimbursement payment transactions submitted or received electronically. HIPAA extensively regulates the use, disclosure, confidentiality, availability, and integrity of individually identifiable health information, known as “protected health information,” and provides for a number of individual rights with respect to such information. As a “covered entity” subject to HIPAA, CDH is required to maintain privacy and security policies, train workforce members, maintain physical, administrative, and technical safeguards, enter into confidentiality agreements with vendors that handle protected health information (“business associates”), and permit individuals to access and amend their protected health information. In addition, we must report any breaches of unsecured protected health information. HIPAA violations may result in criminal penalties and significant civil penalties. Other federal and state laws and regulations that apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal data, such as the California Consumer Protection Act, which was recently significantly modified by the California Privacy Rights Act, may impose additional or inconsistent obligations or result in additional penalties. Health care providers and industry participants are also subject to a growing number of requirements intended to promote the interoperability and exchange of patient health information, including prohibitions on information blocking.

COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

A small number of our entities (i.e., those located in the District of Columbia, New Mexico and Washington State) were affected by state COVID-19 vaccine or testing mandates. As contractors with state government agencies, the mandates applied to some staff in these locations. Each mandate has unique eligibility, exemption and expectation requirements where non-compliance could result in fines or other penalties. Of these locations, the mandates in the District of Columbia and Washington State are still in effect, whereas the New Mexico mandate was lifted in the fall of 2022. We continue to monitor these mandates to ensure our compliance.    

Additionally, as we expand into new states, we may be subject to additional state vaccine mandates, and we may become subject to existing state vaccine mandates due to changes in law and regulation, or the result of an executive or agency order. Compliance with such mandates may be difficult due to differing requirements imposed by numerous authorities. Additionally, these vaccine mandates could result in the loss of personnel who are unvaccinated, which could adversely affect us.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of the current matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Intellectual Property. We protect our intellectual property through a combination of trademarks, tradenames and domain names. We own five (5) U.S. trademark registrations. Our principal trademark assets include the trademark “Consumer Direct,” which is registered in the United States, and our logos and taglines. We have applied to register or registered many of our trademarks in the United States, and we will pursue additional trademark registrations to the extent we believe they would be beneficial and cost-effective. We are the registered holder of multiple domestic and international domain names that include “Consumer Direct,” “CDCN” and similar variations. We also own two (2) U.S. copyright registrations. In addition to the protection provided by our intellectual property rights, we enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with our employees, consultants, contractors and business partners.

Properties. Our corporate headquarters is located in Missoula, Montana, where we lease office space. Across the United States, we have a total of 39 leases for real property including both office and storage spaces.

Antitrust Laws.    The federal government and most states have enacted antitrust laws that prohibit certain types of conduct deemed to be anti-competitive. These laws prohibit price fixing, market allocation, bid-rigging, concerted refusal to deal, market monopolization, price discrimination, tying arrangements, acquisitions of competitors and other practices that have, or may have, an adverse effect on competition. Violations of federal or state antitrust laws can result in various sanctions, including criminal and civil penalties. Antitrust enforcement in the healthcare sector is currently a priority of the FTC and the DOJ. We believe we are in compliance with such applicable federal and state laws, but courts or regulatory authorities may reach a determination in the future that could adversely affect our operations. Antitrust violations may result in civil or criminal liability and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Environmental Matters.    We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to hazardous materials, pollution and the protection of the environment. Such regulations include those governing emissions to air, discharges to water, storage, treatment and disposal of wastes, including medical waste, remediation of contaminated sites and protection of worker health and safety. These laws and regulations frequently change and have become increasingly stringent over time. Non-compliance with these laws and regulations may result in significant fines or penalties or limitations on our operations or claims for remediation costs, as well as alleged personal injury or property damages. We believe our current operations are in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety requirements and that we maintain all material permits required to operate our business.

Table of Contents

Certain environmental laws and regulations impose strict, and under certain circumstances joint and several, liability for investigation and remediation of the release of regulated substances into the environment. Such liability can be imposed on current or former owners or operators of contaminated sites, or on persons who dispose or arrange for disposal of wastes at a contaminated site. Based on available information, we do not believe that any known compliance obligations, releases or investigations under environmental laws or regulations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. However, there can be no guarantee that these releases or newly-discovered information, more stringent enforcement of or changes in environmental requirements, or our inability to enforce available indemnification agreements will not result in significant costs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CDH

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of CDH should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our” and “the Company” refer to the business and operations of CDH and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination and to New Pubco and its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Overview

CDH is a national provider of self-directed home care solutions, primarily focused on non-medical personal care for long-term aging and disability clients. Given its long history focused on self-directed care, CDH believes it is a pioneer in the consumer directed market, where clients select their own caregiver rather than have one assigned by a staffing agency. CDH is committed to the philosophy of self-direction and autonomy for in-home personal care services and provides services and support that help people and families of all ages, including children, older adults and people with disabilities, remain safe, healthy and independent in their own home.

The original operations of CDH were established in 1990 in Missoula, Montana, and CDH now serves individuals across the United States, including those in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington, and Washington D.C. CDH is nationally known as a leader in the self-directed home care industry. As of September 30, 2022, CDH served more than 70,000 people receiving care in their homes. In-home services are principally provided pursuant to agreements with state Medicaid agencies, federal Veterans Administration providers, local government agencies, Managed Care Organizations (“MCO”), commercial insurers, and private individuals.

CDH services and operating models address a number of healthcare needs. We believe that care provided in the home generally costs less than facility-based care and is generally preferred by consumers and their families. By providing services in the home to older adults, people with disabilities, and others who require long-term care and support with activities of daily living, CDH believes that it can lower the cost of chronic and acute care treatment by delaying or eliminating the need for care in more expensive settings.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services define personal care as one of four models:

 

MODEL

  

GROUP

Agency-Based Traditional (“ABT”)

   Agency-Based Care

Traditional Agency Supporting Choice

   Agency-Based Care

Agency With Choice (“AWC”), also known as Co-Employment

   Self-Directed Care

Fiscal/Employer Agent (“F/EA”)

   Self-Directed Care

CDH has an advantage over its competitors by offering all four models of personal care.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on our Business

COVID-19 continues to be widespread throughout the United States and other parts of the world. Although vaccines became widely available in 2021, there continues to be a significant number of COVID-19 cases and

 

213


Table of Contents

deaths in the United States. In response, various governmental authorities and private businesses in the United States have implemented, or reinstituted, certain mitigation strategies, such as masking and vaccine requirements. Economic conditions in the United States significantly improved during 2021 compared to earlier pandemic levels, although inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions have recently impacted the U.S. economy. The long-term trends of new cases and deaths in the United States and the future impact of the pandemic continue to be unknown.

In September 2021, President Biden announced a federal six-point plan for responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this plan, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) adopted a rule in November 2021 which would require all employers with 100 or more employees to require their workforce to be fully vaccinated or, alternatively, to provide a negative COVID-19 test result on a weekly basis. Also, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an interim rule in November 2021 requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for workers in Medicare- and Medicaid-certified providers and suppliers, including hospices and home health agencies, that covers clinical staff, individuals providing services under arrangements, volunteers and staff who are not involved in direct client care. On January 13, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the implementation of the OSHA rule but allowed the CMS interim rule to take effect. In response, President Biden rescinded the private employer mandate and called on states and businesses to voluntarily institute vaccination requirements to protect workers, customers and the broader community. Additionally, some states have implemented, or may implement in the future, vaccine mandates with respect to healthcare personnel. It is currently difficult to predict the impact that any of these vaccine mandates may have on us or the extent to which these vaccine mandates will ultimately become effective. However, we expect that these rules, to the extent that they become effective, will impact our business.

President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”), which became law on March 11, 2021, and provides for $350 billion in relief funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Additionally, the law provides for a 10-percentage point increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid HCBS from April 1, 2021 through March 30, 2022, provided the state satisfies certain conditions. States must use the monies attributable to this matching fund increase to supplement, not supplant, their level of spending for the implementation of activities enhanced under the Medicaid HCBS in effect as of April 1, 2021. States will be permitted to use the state funds equivalent to the additional federal funds through March 31, 2025.

We are monitoring developments as information becomes available, including with respect to national, state and local vaccine mandates, to assess the possible impact on our workforce in personal care and our corporate support centers. While the Company has not mandated vaccines for our employees, we have developed a multistep program in order to strongly encourage our employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine, which included offering a vaccine stipend and incentives as well as creating educational and motivational leadership communication. These educational and motivational leadership communications are ongoing. However, it is difficult to predict the future impact of the pandemic or the federal six-point COVID-19 plan and state and local vaccine mandates on economic conditions in the United States and our business at this time.

Federal and state agencies continue to issue regulations and guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the public health situation continues to evolve, and, therefore, we cannot currently predict with certainty the extent to which our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity will ultimately be impacted by the pandemic. We will continue to assess the impact and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses to the pandemic, including the enactment and implementation of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, the CAA, the ARPA and other stimulus and relief legislation, as well as the implementation of the President’s federal six-point COVID-19 plan and any federal and state vaccine mandates on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the related financial effect cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is not expected to materially adversely impact our business.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent legislation passed within the CARES Act of 2020, the Company applied for and received a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On April 5, 2020, a loan in the amount of approximately $10.0 million, was granted to the Company that was funded by the Bank of Montana. The loan is unsecured and bears interest of 1% per annum. The PPP loan is to be used primarily for payroll related costs, lease and utility payments and matures on April 5, 2025. In accordance with Section 3 of the Flexibility Act, enacted in June 2020, the PPP Loan was no longer in the deferment period as of July 21, 2021, and principal and interest payments began on August 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding borrowings under the PPP loan were $8.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. As of June 2022, the Company has been notified by the SBA of its approval of forgiveness of the PPP loan. The PPP loan remains subject to audit by the SBA.

Expansion into Washington

In November 2019, the Company signed the Consumer Directed Employer Contract with the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, which calls for the Company to take responsibility as the Consumer Directed Employer and provide services in accordance with state law. The purpose of the program is to provide personal care to people in need. The contract has an initial seven-year term beginning in February 2022 and the Company projects that the contract will drive significant increases to both net service revenue and customer count over the life of the contract, materially improving the financial profile of the business. As of June 2022, the contract was considered at full ramp.

The Company began to invest heavily in infrastructure early in the Washington implementation to support caregiver hiring and client enrollment. Additionally, the Company worked to establish strong relationships with state partners, SEIU and local leaders to ensure that implementation steps operated smoothly and customer service was a top priority. At the time the contract was signed in 2019, the Company was already in the process of overhauling its current infrastructure to meet contractual requirements in other states but it recognized the need for additional infrastructure to accommodate the capacity demands of the Washington contract. Beginning in 2019 and through out 2021, the Company invested more than $20 million in systems infrastructure, including adopting Workday as a new Enterprise Resource Planning tool.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had more than 40,000 clients in the State of Washington and the contract had produced more than $550 million of net service revenue under the Company’s Agency with Choice model. Additionally, the Company’s contract allows it to exercise a five-year extension option in 2029, allowing it to service the geography until at least February 2034. The costs associated with the ramp of the Washington Contract are expected to stabilize by the end of 2022.

Changes in Reimbursement Rates

Shortly after the onset of COVID-19 in March 2020, numerous state Medicaid programs began to issue temporary rate increases and similarly directed Medicaid Managed Care programs within those states to adjust rates. These temporary rate increases are paid to the Company via normal claim processing by the respective payors. Over the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and continuing into fiscal year 2021, while some states discontinued the temporary rate increases, some states issued continuations of the temporary rate increases with many state legislatures communicating support for either making such increases permanent or otherwise increasing PDS reimbursement rates. Furthermore, the focus at both the federal and state levels on supporting the provision of care in the home, as well as expanding Federal matching funds for the Medicaid program in recent government legislation, supports a positive outlook on Medicaid reimbursement in the future.

There is no assurance that there will be additional offsetting rate increases for the Company for fiscal years beyond fiscal year 2022, and our financial performance will be adversely impacted for any periods in which an additional offsetting reimbursement rate increase is not in effect.

See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information regarding funds received related to COVID-19 pandemic relief.

Reportable Segments

The Company has three reportable segments:

Agency with Choice

Under the AWC, or co-employment, model, the Company provides in-home care services to consumers through our employee network of care staff under guidelines agreed to with state government agencies and managed care organizations. The Company contracts directly with the recipient of the in-home care services (i.e., the consumer) and is the employer of record for each of the care staff. The Company actively recruits new care staff and performs all required pre-employment screening activities, such as, but not limited to, performing background checks and delivering training, prior to hiring each care staff and approving them to provide care services to consumers. The consumer acts as a “managing employer” and provides day-to-day oversight of the care staff as services are performed in accordance with the consumer’s care plan, which outlines the allowable services under Medicaid; however, the Company maintains the responsibility to evaluate workplace health and safety conditions, monitor delivery of care, address service issues and customer complaints, and continuously reassess a care staff’s employment status, maintaining the sole right to terminate a care staff for any reason at any time. Since the Company’s employees deliver the service and the Company has the ability to direct our employees in the performance of our service, the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the care services to the consumer. In addition, due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, the Company pays our employees through payroll on a regular basis prior to receiving payment for services rendered from a payor, such as the state government agency or managed care organization, who pays consideration to the Company on behalf of the consumer. Though, in certain cases, the consumer may be responsible to pay for a component of the service, which is referred to as a co-payment. The Company maintains the authority to set the payroll rates paid to our care staff employees. As a result, the Company controls the care service and presents revenue as it satisfies the performance obligation to provide the care services on a gross basis as a principal. Further, though the tasks performed on a daily basis may change, each hour of in-home care services is substantially the same and the consumer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as services are provided. The Company’s single performance obligation under AWC in-home care service contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods.

As the services are time-and-materials based, the fees represent variable consideration. The Company receives a single rate per increment of time of service rendered and such rates are either negotiated between the Company and the payor or set through government regulations applicable to the jurisdiction in which the services are delivered. As the Company’s single performance obligation within our AWC customer contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods and the transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed. The uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on an hourly basis as the Company satisfies our obligation to perform in-home care services, because the variable payments specifically relate to transferring the distinct service that is part of a series of distinct services (i.e., the hourly in-home care service), and the variable amount relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy that distinct hour of in-home care service.

Fiscal / Employer Agent

Under the F/EA model, the Company provides care management administrative services, which include payroll, billing and other administrative services, such as tax withholding, service-request processing, and other services, to state government agencies, managed care organizations, and individual consumers. As the care management administrative services (F/EA) allow for transaction processing (i.e., processing of service requests, payroll, etc.), the nature of the Company’s promise is an obligation of standing ready to perform the services. There is no limit to the number of transactions

 

216


Table of Contents

(i.e., payroll, service requests) that can be processed nor does the quantity of transactions available to be processed diminish over time. There is not a substantial amount of uncertainty as to whether the transactions will occur, only an uncertainty as to the number of transactions that will be processed. In addition, there is no uncertainty in the Company’s obligation to make the services available each month. The Company is standing ready to provide the care management administrative services. The Company’s obligation represents a single promise and therefore, is a single performance obligation. Further, though the types of transactions processed on a monthly basis may change, each month of care management administrative services is substantially the same and the consumer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as services are provided. The Company’s single performance obligation under our F/EA care management administrative service contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods.

In these arrangements, the Company receives a per member per month (“PMPM”) fee in return for performing our payroll, billing, and other administrative services on an on-going basis as well as reimbursements for payroll amounts remitted by the Company to caregivers. Caregivers are non-employee, third parties who provide care to consumers. Consumers are the employer of record for the caregivers and oversee the caregivers, negotiate caregiver wages, and hold sole authority to terminate caregiver employment. The Company is not primarily responsible for providing the care services and takes no responsibility for such services, and, therefore, does not control the care services provided by the caregivers. The consumer employs the caregiver directly, and the Company is not a party to those agreements. Accordingly, the Company presents revenue on a net basis, as an agent, with regard to the payroll fees collected from customers as reimbursement for amounts paid to the third-party caregivers. For our care management administrative services, the Company presents revenue on a gross basis as a principal as the Company controls the services and no third-party is involved in the delivery of these services. In addition, PMPM fees represent variable consideration as the number of members may change on a monthly basis. As the Company’s single performance obligation within our F/EA customer contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods and the transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed. The uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on a monthly basis as the Company satisfies our obligation to perform care management administrative services, because the variable payments specifically relate to transferring the distinct service that is part of a series of distinct services (i.e., the monthly care management administrative services), and the variable amount relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy that distinct month of care management administrative service.

Agency Based Traditional

Under the ABT model, the Company, through our internal employees, provides in-home care to individuals through contracts with federal agencies, managed care organizations, or directly with individuals on a time-and-materials basis. Such contracts relate to a specified episode of care and are typically short term. The length of each episode of care represents the period in which the Company has enforceable rights and obligations. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single specified in-home care service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments (i.e., hours or days) of service. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Similar to the performance obligations within the Company’s AWC and F/EA contracts, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.    

The Company has two additional operating businesses, Support Broker Services (“SBS”) and Support Service Training (“TRN”), that are reported within the Other operating segment.

Table of Contents

Under SBS, the Company provides customers with advisory and support services over an agreed upon contract term to an individual receiving self-directed care services, or their representative. Each contract contains a single performance obligation to provide the requested service. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single advisory or support service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments (e.g., hours) of service. As the services are time-and-materials based, related fees represent variable consideration. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Similar to the performance obligations within the Company’s AWC, F/EA, and ABT contracts, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.    

Under TRN, the Company provides training to caregivers of state government agencies. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Each contract contains a single performance obligation to provide the requested service. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single training service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments (e.g., hours) or units of service. As the services are time-and-materials based, related fees represent variable consideration. Similar to the Company’s other performance obligations, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.

Revenue by Payor

Our payor clients are principally federal, state and local governmental agencies and managed care organizations, with a significant amount of revenue deriving from Medicaid. The federal, state and local programs under which the agencies operate are subject to legislative and budgetary changes and other risks that can influence reimbursement rates.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 98.5% of our revenue was derived from sources funded by Medicaid.

Net service revenues increased by $551.1 million to $596.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to a significant increase in caregiving services brought about by new and expanded operations in the State of Washington. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, the Company’s Washington entity went from 0 participants and $0 in revenue to 44,356 participants and $550.8 million in revenue, respectively.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, decreased to 15.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 63.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to a significant increase in cost of services primarily driven by an increase in personal care attendant wages brought about by new and expanded operations in the State of Washington.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $61.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30 2021, primarily due to an increase in administration salary and wages and information technology expense. Administrative payroll costs increased on an average cost per employee basis due to pay increases throughout the second half of 2021 and additional market adjustments (wage inflation) and promotions through June 30, 2022. Information technology expenses increased $2.4 million or 62% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to software implementations required to support the Company’s expansion into Washington and business systems.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to increased amortization on software costs. The Company incurred and capitalized software costs of approximately $13.0 million in late 2021 with a 3-year useful life due to investing in infrastructure to add capacity to accommodate larger contracts.

Other income, net increased to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to debt forgiveness income when the Company’s PPP loan was forgiven following approval from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Table of Contents

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, increased to 61.8% for the year ended December 31, 2021, from 59.0% in 2020, due to F/EA member fee growth. In addition, the Company had declines in non-net F/EA ABT services, which is attributed to the $2.2 million reduction in cost of services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $57.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $50.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in administration salary and wages associated with growth in personnel costs for the Company’s expansion into Washington as well as information technology expense related to software consulting for investment in infrastructure to add capacity to accommodate larger contracts. Selling, general and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, increased to 60.8% for the year ended December 31, 2021, from 53.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to capitalized software costs associated with the Company’s infrastructure project to increase capacity.

Interest expense, net increased to $3.2 million from $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to increased borrowings on the Company’s related party line of credit.

Other income, net decreased to $6.4 million from $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 due to Provider Relief Funds (“PRF”) recognized for the year ended December 31, 2020.

AWC net service revenue was $34.0 million in 2021, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 1.1%, compared to 2020. Gross profit was $10.1 million in 2021, an increase of $0.7 million, or 7.6%, compared to 2020. The variance in net service revenue was driven by a decrease in net service revenue of $3.2 million due to a shortage of caregivers, which was offset by an increase in net service revenue of $2.8 million as the Company commenced the pilot program in Washington in late 2021 and an increase in services due to referral. The increase in gross margin was due to an increased service rate, partially offset by decreased net service revenue as discussed above.

F/EA net service revenue was $39.5 million in 2021, an increase of $2.9 million, or 8.0%, compared to 2020. An increase in net service revenue was primarily due to an increase in services of $3.6 million primarily resulting from customer growth and changes in certain states’ policies for F/EA services, which allowed more eligible customers to participate, partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in Texas as the state mandated the electronic visit verification (“EVV”) for caregivers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. The financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure included within this proxy statement should be carefully evaluated.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for: (i) interest expense, net; (ii) income tax expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iv) amortization of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs; (v) amortization of contract fulfillment costs; (vi) PPP loan forgiveness; (vii) Provider relief funds; and (viii) ARPA funds.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, management and others in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

 

   

By reporting Adjusted EBITDA, we believe that we provide investors with insight and consistency in our financial reporting and present a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results, including return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period, by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense), asset base (amortization and depreciation), and other identified adjustments.

 

   

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the financial performance of other public companies.

In addition, management has chosen to use Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure because we believe that the amount of non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations, and because such expenses can vary significantly from period to period. This facilitates internal comparisons to historical operating results, as well as external

 

224


Table of Contents

comparisons to the operating results of our competitors and other companies in the personal care services industry. Because management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a performance measure, management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

 

   

as a financial measure in the day-to-day oversight of our business to allocate financial and human resources across our organization, to assess appropriate levels of marketing and other initiatives and to generally enhance the financial performance of our business;

 

   

in the preparation of our annual operating budget, as well as for other planning purposes on a quarterly and annual basis, including allocations in order to implement our growth strategy, to determine appropriate levels of investments in acquisitions and to endeavor to achieve strong core operating results;

 

   

to evaluate the effectiveness of business strategies, such as the allocation of resources, the mix of organic growth and acquisitive growth and adjustments to our payor mix;

 

   

as an additional means of evaluating the effectiveness of management in directing our core operating performance, which we consider to be performance that can be affected by our management in any particular period through their allocation and use of resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit-generating operations during that period;

 

   

for the valuation of prospective acquisitions, and to evaluate the effectiveness of integration of past acquisitions into our Company; and

 

   

in communications with our Board concerning our financial performance.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditure or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or interest income;

 

   

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and

 

   

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Management compensates for these limitations by using GAAP financial measures in addition to Adjusted EBITDA in managing the day-to-day and long-term operations of our business. We believe that consideration of Adjusted EBITDA, together with a careful review of our GAAP financial measures, is the most informed method of analyzing our Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash from operations and borrowings under our debt arrangements. We had cash and cash equivalents of $134.6 million and $27.1 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We had restricted cash of $11.2 million and $20.5 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities represent the inflow of cash from our payor clients and the outflow of cash for payroll and payroll taxes, operating expenses, interest and taxes.

Our debt arrangements consist primarily of a revolving line of credit with Bank of Montana, which is referred to herein as the Credit Agreement, a commercial loan with Montana Community Development Corporation (“MCDC”), unsubordinated and secured notes from three of our shareholders (“Shareholder Notes”), as well as a financing agreement through Key Equipment Finance (“KEF”). At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our revolving line of credit had a maximum borrowing capacity of $45.0 million. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a total of $8.0 million and $30.8 million, respectively, of drawings on our line of credit with an interest rate of 7.99% and 6.49%, respectively. After giving effect to the amount drawn on our line of credit we had $37.0 million and $14.2 million available for borrowing under our line of credit as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Credit Agreement generally limits borrowing to a factor of accounts receivable outstanding at any given time, up to a maximum commitment limit and is secured by accounts receivable, equipment and the personal guarantees of our shareholders.

Credit Agreement

We use the advances from the line of credit to provide funds to our subsidiaries and subsequently, funds from our subsidiaries’ operations are used to make repayments on the line of credit.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Although we believe our liquidity position remains strong, we can provide no assurance

that we will remain in compliance with the covenants in our Credit Agreement, and in the future, it may prove necessary to seek an amendment with Bank of Montana. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Commercial Loan

On December 14, 2021, we entered into a commercial loan agreement with MCDC and drew on a commercial loan in the amount of $0.8 million. We will utilize the proceeds from the commercial loan for general working capital purposes. The commercial loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per annum and has a maturity date of December 15, 2031. We will make equal monthly payments of principal and interest commencing on January 15, 2022, through the maturity date and may prepay the commercial loan at any time without premium or penalty. The commercial loan is guaranteed by our shareholders and is collateralized by some of our assets.

Shareholder Notes

In June 2020, we entered into unsecured and subordinated notes with three shareholders for an aggregate amount of $5.1 million. The Shareholder Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 6.99% and the maturity date of the Shareholder Notes is August 1, 2030.

On October 26, 2020, the unsecured and subordinated notes were amended and the amount of borrowings was increased to $6.4 million and the maturity date was changed to November 1, 2030.

The Company may prepay the Shareholder Notes at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company intends to repay the Shareholder Notes in connection with the Business Combination.

Financing Agreement

In November 2019, we entered into a financing agreement with KEF whereby disbursements from the financing agreement would be used to pay for our software-as-a-service applications as part of the Master Subscription Agreement (“MSA”) entered into between the Company and a service provider. We directed KEF to advance the disbursements to the service provider based on the respective disbursement dates as set forth in the financing agreement, on our behalf and in satisfaction of our obligation under the MSA.

On March 31, 2021, we entered into a new financing agreement with KEF that replaced the November 2019 financing agreement. Under the new financing agreement, we will finance a total amount of $9.5 million which is payable in nine monthly installments of $0.3 million commencing on March 30, 2021, and thirteen monthly installments of $0.6 million commencing on January 30, 2022. The new financing agreement is secured by a security interest in the licenses granted under the MSA. As of June 30, 2022, the principal outstanding under the new financing agreement was $3.9 million. See Note 7—Debt, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details of our debt.

Debt—Consolidated VIEs

From May 2015 through June 2020 we entered into various promissory note agreements (the “Promissory Notes”) with Bank of Montana, a related party. The Promissory Notes were used to finance properties that are leased by the Company and that are owned by variable interest entities (VIEs) consolidated by the Company (the “Consolidated VIEs”). The Promissory Notes may be prepaid at any time and are collateralized by certain assets of the Company. The stated interest rates are between 2.84% to 6.99% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, the aggregate outstanding principal amount was $22.4 million and $22.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Promissory Notes mature between June 2025 and September 2037.

On November 24, 2015, one of the Company’s VIEs entered into a commercial loan agreement (the “2015 Commercial Loan”) with Montana Community Development Corporation dba MoFi. The Company borrowed a total of $350,000 under the 2015 Commercial Loan. The Company utilized the proceeds from the Commercial Loan for general working capital purposes. The 2015 Commercial Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum and has a maturity date of November 15, 2035. Principal and interest payments are made in equal

monthly amounts through the maturity date. The loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time without premium or penalty. The loan is guaranteed by owners of the Company and is collateralized by certain assets of the Company. The outstanding balance on the 2015 Commercial Loan was $253,000, $265,000 and $280,000 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Any deterioration in economic conditions in the United States, including as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, would pose a risk to states’ revenues, which in turn could affect our reimbursements and collections received for services rendered. Depending on the severity and length of any potential economic downturn, states could face significant fiscal challenges and revise their revenue forecasts and adjust their budgets, and sales tax collections and income tax withholdings could be depressed in fiscal year 2022 (which began on July 1 in most states), and, potentially, future fiscal years.

Government Stimulus and Relief Measures

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, federal and state governments have passed legislation, promulgated regulations, and taken other administrative actions intended to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 patients and other patients during the public health emergency. These temporary measures include relief from Medicare conditions of participation requirements for healthcare providers, relaxation of licensure requirements for healthcare professionals, relaxation of privacy restrictions for telehealth remote communications, promoting use of telehealth by expanding the scope of services for which Medicare reimbursement is available, and limited waivers of fraud and abuse laws for activities related to COVID-19 during the emergency period. The current federal public health emergency declaration was renewed on October 13, 2022.

As previously mentioned, the ARPA provides for $350 billion in relief funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency, and provides for a 10-percentage point increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid HCBS from April 1, 2021, through March 30, 2022, that states must use to supplement their level of spending for the implementation of activities enhanced under the Medicaid HCBS in effect as of April 1, 2021. States will be permitted to use the state funds equivalent to the additional federal funds through March 31, 2025.

Provider Relief Fund

One of the primary sources of relief for healthcare providers is the Provider Relief Fund, which has been funded through the CARES Act and related legislation. Provider Relief Fund payments are intended to compensate healthcare providers for lost revenues and health care related expenses incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not required to be repaid, provided that recipients attest to and comply with certain terms and conditions, including limitations on balance billing and not using funds received from the Provider Relief Fund to reimburse expenses or losses that other sources are obligated to reimburse.

In 2021 and 2020, the Company received grants in an aggregate principal amount of $5.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively, from the Provider Relief Fund, for which we had previously applied. The Company utilized $5.8 million and $10.4 million of these funds during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for lost revenues and healthcare related expenses.

PPP Loan

As a result of Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent legislation passed within the CARES Act of 2020, the Company applied for and received an SBA loan through the PPP. On April 5, 2020, an unsecured loan which bears interest of 1% per annum in the amount of approximately $10.0 million was granted to the Company by the Bank of Montana. The PPP loan is to be used primarily for payroll related costs, lease and utility payments

 

228


Table of Contents

and matures on April 5, 2025. In accordance with Section 3 of the Flexibility Act, enacted in June 2020, the PPP loan was no longer in the deferment period as of July 21, 2021, and principal and interest payments began on August 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding borrowings under the PPP loan were $8.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. As of June 2022, the Company has been notified by the SBA of its approval of forgiveness of the PPP loan.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes historical changes in our cash flows (amounts in thousands):

 

     Six months ended June 30,     Year ended December 31,  
     2022     2021     2021     2020

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities

   $ (32,883   $ 787     $ 13,294     $ 39,759  

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net cash provided by operating activities was $133.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to increases in net income by $39.7 million and changes in working capital of $94.8 million, offset by forgiveness of debt of $10.0 million. The main driver of the changes in working capital was primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accrued payroll expenses due to new and expanded operations in the State of Washington resulting in higher account receivable and accrued payroll expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due to a reduction in property and equipment spending.

Net cash used in financing activities was $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net cash used in financing activities was driven by a $9.3 million increase in agency fund obligations due to timing in the payroll cycle of certain states and when cash will be deployed (see corresponding increase in restricted cash) and $23.3 million net payments on our related party line of credit, offset by a reduction in debt issuance costs and distributions.

Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million in 2020. Changes in our cash provided by operating activities during the past two years were primarily the result of changes in net working capital and increased payroll costs offset by increases in capitalized fulfillment costs and reduction of net income due to expansion related to the Washington CDE program and 2020 grant funds received.

Net cash used in investing activities was $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, consisted of additions to property and equipment associated with the Company’s build out of internal use software to increase capacity requirements for the Washington CDE program.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $39.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The reduction in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a $6.5 million net reduction in agency fund obligations related to timing

of payroll cycles in certain states, a $10 million reduction in proceeds from PPP loans, a $8.4 million reduction in proceeds from related party VIE promissory notes, and a $6.4 million reduction in proceeds from shareholder notes, primarily offset by a reduction in distributions. The Company’s line of credit was used to fund software development and the Company’s CDE program implementation. The line of credit was also used as leverage to increase the Company’s limit and borrowing base. Proceeds from the Company’s financing agreement were used to fund the Company’s IT infrastructure project.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet guarantees or arrangements with unconsolidated entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the CDH Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it involves a significant level of estimation uncertainty and has had or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company bases our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other sources and factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, however, actual results may differ from these estimates. Critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions and judgments that are believed to have the most significant impact on the company consolidated financial statements are described below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized based on the transaction price, which is determined based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer that the Company expects to be entitled to, excluding any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a performance obligation to a customer, which occurs over time as the service is performed. Determining the method and amount of revenue to recognize requires management to make judgments. Judgments include determining whether the Company is the principal or agent with respect to performance obligations. If the Company determines it is the principal, it records revenues on a gross basis and if the Company determines it is the agent, it records revenue at the net amount that it retains for services provided. The Company is the principal if it controls the service prior to it being transferred to the client. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. See Note 6 — Revenue Recognition for further information.

Holders of New Pubco common stock issued as consideration pursuant to the Mergers have entered into lock-up agreements and may not, with limited exceptions, transfer New Pubco common stock until the earliest of (i) 365 days after (and excluding) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the last reported sale price of New Pubco common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date, and (iii) subsequent to the Closing Date, the date on which New Pubco completes a liquidation, merger, tender offer, capital stock exchange, reorganization, bankruptcy or other similar transaction that results in a change of greater than 50% of the total voting stock of New Pubco. The New Pubco Board may, in its sole discretion, determine to waive, amend, or repeal the foregoing lockup restriction.

Other Matters

Holders of shares of New Pubco common stock do not have subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Upon completion of the Business Combination, all the outstanding shares of New Pubco common stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

The Proposed Charter provides that the New Pubco Board has the authority, without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, and the number of shares constituting any such class or series, and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class or series of preferred stock, including, without limitation, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, dissolution preferences, and treatment in the case of a merger, business combination transaction, or sale of New Pubco’s assets, which rights may be greater than the rights of the holders of the New Pubco common stock.

The purpose of authorizing the New Pubco Board to issue preferred stock and determine the rights and preferences of any classes or series of preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The simplified issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of New Pubco outstanding voting stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of New Pubco common stock by restricting dividends on the New Pubco common stock, diluting the voting power of the New Pubco common stock or subordinating the dividend or liquidation rights of the New Pubco common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of New Pubco common stock.

Warrants and Earned Obligations

At the effective time, each DTRT Public Warrant and DTRT Sponsor Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time and not expired or terminated pursuant to its terms, by virtue of the Business Combination and without any action on the part of New Pubco, DTRT or the holder of any such warrant, will be converted into one New Pubco Public Warrant and one New Pubco Sponsor Warrant, respectively, each exercisable for one share of New Pubco common stock. As of the effective time, all DTRT warrants will no longer be outstanding and each former holder of a DTRT warrant will cease to have any rights with respect to such warrant.

 

232


Table of Contents

As of October 18, 2022, 11,500,000 DTRT Public Warrants and 11,200,000 DTRT Sponsor Warrants were outstanding.

Exclusive Forum

The Proposed Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless New Pubco otherwise consents in writing, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on New Pubco’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or claim based on, breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any of its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders, to New Pubco or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against New Pubco or any of its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders arising under the DGCL, the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of New Pubco’s Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws, or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim related to or involving New Pubco that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any action, suit or proceeding asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Election of Directors

The New Pubco Board will be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term, except immediately following the Business Combination, Class I directors will be elected to an initial one-year term (and three-year terms subsequently), the Class II directors will be elected to an initial two-year term (and three-year terms subsequently) and the Class III directors will be elected to an initial three-year term (and three-year terms subsequently). The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon and cumulative voting is not permitted.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws and Applicable Law

Certain provisions of the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws, and laws of the State of Delaware, where New Pubco is incorporated, may discourage or make more difficult a takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest. These provisions may also adversely affect prevailing market prices for the New Pubco common stock. New Pubco believes that the benefits of increased protection give New Pubco the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure New Pubco and outweigh the disadvantage of discouraging those proposals because negotiation of the proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. For additional information, see the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to DTRT and the Business Combination — Some provisions of the Proposed Charter and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of New Pubco by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to New Pubco’s stockholders, and may prevent attempts by New Pubco’s stockholders to replace or remove New Pubco’s current management.”

Authorized but Unissued Shares

The Proposed Charter provides that certain shares of authorized but unissued New Pubco common stock and New Pubco preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital, or to

 

233


Table of Contents

facilitate acquisitions. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Pubco by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

Classified Board

The Proposed Charter provides that the New Pubco Board will be classified into three classes of directors of approximately equal size. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of the board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at three or more annual meetings. Furthermore, because the New Pubco Board will be classified, directors may be removed only with cause by a majority of our outstanding shares. In addition, the Proposed Charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals

The Proposed Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the New Pubco Board or a committee of the New Pubco Board. In order to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide New Pubco with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at New Pubco’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders.

The Proposed Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. Specifically, a stockholder’s notice must include: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting (including the text of any proposal or resolution), (ii) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in such business (including any anticipated benefit), (iii) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, (iv) the class or series and number of shares of that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner as of the date of such notice, including all shares as to which such stockholder or beneficial owner has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future, (v) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder, (vi) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (vii) a representation that such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting, and (viii) a representation as to whether such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a sufficient number of the corporation’s voting shares to bring such business. These notice requirements will be deemed satisfied by a stockholder as to any proposal (other than nominations) if the stockholder has notified New Pubco of such stockholder’s intention to present such proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) of the Exchange Act, and such stockholder has complied with the requirements of such rule for inclusion of such proposal in a proxy statement prepared by us to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The Proposed Bylaws also allow the chairman of the meeting at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed.

These provisions may also defer, delay, or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of New Pubco.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The Proposed Charter provides that, subject to the terms of any series of preferred stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of New Pubco may be effected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Special Meeting of Stockholders

The Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the New Pubco Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the New Pubco Board, or upon the written request of holders of not less than 35% of the voting power of the outstanding stock entitled to vote at the meeting.

Amendment of the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage.

The Proposed Charter provides that it may be amended by New Pubco in the manner provided therein or prescribed by statute. The Proposed Charter provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of New Pubco entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision of the Proposed Charter providing for the capital stock of New Pubco, amendment of the charter, amendment of the bylaws, board of directors, election of directors, limitation of director liability, indemnification and special meetings of the stockholders.

The Proposed Bylaws also provide that the New Pubco Board will have the power to adopt, amend, alter, or repeal the Proposed Bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Proposed Charter. The stockholders of New Pubco are prohibited from adopting, amending, altering, or repealing the Proposed Bylaws, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with the Proposed Bylaws, unless such action is approved, in addition to any other vote required by the Proposed Charter, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of New Pubco entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Business Combinations

Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a corporation will not be permitted to engage in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

  (1)

prior to such time the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

  (2)

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

  (3)

at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

235


Table of Contents

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of New Pubco’s outstanding voting stock. For purposes of this section only, “voting stock” has the meaning given to it in Section 203 of the DGCL.

Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the charter specifically authorizes

cumulative voting. The Proposed Charter does not authorize cumulative voting.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors of corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Proposed Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director where, in civil proceedings, the person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of New Pubco or, in criminal proceedings, where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

The Proposed Bylaws provide that New Pubco must indemnify and advance expenses to New Pubco’s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. New Pubco also is expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for New Pubco directors, officers, and certain employees for some liabilities. New Pubco believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit New Pubco and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent New Pubco pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officer pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of New Pubco’s directors,

officers, or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of New Pubco’s stockholders may bring an action in New Pubco’s name to procure a judgment in New Pubco’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of New Pubco’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The Transfer Agent for New Pubco capital stock will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Listing of Common Stock

New Pubco intends to apply to list the New Pubco common stock and New Pubco Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “CDCN” and “CDCNW,” respectively, upon the Closing of the Business Combination. DTRT will not have units traded following Closing of the Business Combination.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF COMMON STOCK

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted common stock or warrants of New Pubco for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of New Pubco at the time of, or at any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale and (ii) New Pubco is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and has filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as it was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted common stock or warrants of New Pubco for at least six months but who are affiliates of New Pubco at the time of, or at any time during the 90 days preceding, a sale would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

 

   

1% of the total number of shares of New Pubco common stock then outstanding; or

 

   

the average weekly reported trading volume of New Pubco’s common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of New Pubco under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and by the availability of current public information about New Pubco.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business-combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

 

   

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

 

   

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

   

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials) other than Form 8-K reports; and

 

   

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10-type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, DTRT’s Initial Stockholders will not be able to sell their Founder Shares and Sponsor Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration until one year after DTRT has completed its initial business combination.

Following the Closing, New Pubco will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above-noted restricted securities. In connection with the Business Combination, holders of over 71% of the outstanding voting power of New Pubco common stock and securities (on an as converted basis) have agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement with New Pubco, pursuant to which they may not, with limited exceptions, transfer New Pubco common stock until the earliest of: (i) 365 days after (and excluding) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the last reported sale price of New Pubco common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 151 days after the Closing Date (provided that any sales prior to the date that is 365 days after (and excluding) the Closing Date may only be to purchasers who do not

constitute affiliates of New Pubco), and (iii) subsequent to the Closing Date, the date on which New Pubco completes a liquidation, merger, tender offer, capital stock exchange, reorganization, bankruptcy or other similar transaction that results in a change of greater than 50% of the total voting stock of New Pubco. Additionally, pursuant to the Lockup Agreement, each of the Sponsor and the CDH Shareholders may not, with limited exceptions, transfer New Pubco Warrants from the Closing Date until the date that is 30 days after (and excluding) the Closing Date.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS

General

DTRT is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the rights of DTRT Stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, the Current Charter and Current Bylaws. As a result of the Business Combination, DTRT Stockholders who receive shares of New Pubco common stock will become New Pubco stockholders. New Pubco is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the rights of New Pubco stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws. Thus, following the Business Combination, the rights of DTRT Stockholders who become New Pubco stockholders in the Business Combination will continue to be governed by Delaware law but will no longer be governed by the Current Charter and Current Bylaws and instead will be governed by the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws.

Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights

Set forth below is a summary comparison of material differences between the rights of DTRT Stockholders under the Current Charter and Current Bylaws (left column), and the rights of New Pubco’s stockholders under forms of the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws (right column). The summary set forth below is not intended to be complete or to provide a comprehensive discussion of each company’s governing documents. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of DTRT’s Charter and DTRT’s Bylaws, and forms of the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws, which are attached as Annex B and Annex C, respectively, as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL.

The DTRT Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated as Class I, Class II and Class III.   The directors will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors.

If the number of directors that constitutes the DTRT Board is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the DTRT Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors constituting the DTRT Board shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Vacancies on the Board of Directors

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the DTRT Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers

At the time of adoption of the Current Charter, the DGCL permitted limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of the duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit. However, at the time of adoption of the Current Charter, the DGCL did not permit limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of an officer to a corporation or its stockholders.   The DGCL permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of the duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit. In addition, since the time that the Current Charter was adopted, the DGCL was amended to permit limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of an officer to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of the duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, improper personal benefit or an action by or in the right of the corporation.
A director of DTRT shall not be personally liable to DTRT or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended unless a director violated his or her duty of loyalty to DTRT or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from his or her actions as a director.   The Proposed Charter provides that no director will be personally liable, except to the extent an exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted under the DGCL.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers

Under the DGCL, the corporation through its stockholders, directors or independent legal counsel, will determine that the conduct of the person seeking indemnity conformed with the statutory provisions governing indemnity.

 

The Current Charter provides that DTRT will indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Dividends

Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the DTRT preferred stock and the provisions of Current Charter, the holders of shares of DTRT Shares shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of DTRT) when, as and if declared thereon by the DTRT Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of DTRT legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.   The Proposed Charter provides that subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock or the holders of the shares of common stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of New Pubco) when, as and if declared thereon by the New Pubco Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of New Pubco legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

Liquidation

Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the DTRT preferred stock and the provisions of the Current Charter, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of DTRT, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of DTRT, the holders of DTRT Shares shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of DTRT available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of DTRT Shares held by them.   Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, the Proposed Charter provides that following the payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of New Pubco in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of New Pubco, the holders of New Pubco common stock will be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of New Pubco available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of New Pubco shares held by them.

Anti-Takeover Provisions and Other Stockholder Protections

The anti-takeover provisions and other stockholder protections in the Current Charter include a staggered board and blank check preferred stock. Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” (i.e., a stockholder owning 15% or more of DTRT voting stock) for three years following the time that the “interested stockholder” becomes such, subject to certain exceptions.   The anti-takeover provisions and other stockholder protections in the Proposed Charter include a staggered board and blank check preferred stock.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors

Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors have developed through Delaware court case law. Generally, directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. Members of the board of directors or any committee designated by the board of directors are similarly entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the board of directors or other persons as to matters such member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, provided that such other person has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation. Such appropriate reliance on records and other information protects directors from liability related to decisions made based on such records and other information.   Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors have developed through Delaware court case law.

Inspection of Books and Records

Under the DGCL, any stockholder or beneficial owner has the right, upon written demand under oath stating the proper purpose thereof, either in person or by attorney or other agent, to inspect and make copies and extracts from the corporation’s stock ledger, list of stockholders and its other books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.

Table of Contents

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the beneficial ownership of DTRT common stock as of October 18, 2022 and (ii) the expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Pubco common stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination (assuming a “no redemption” scenario and assuming a “maximum redemption” scenario as described below) by:

 

   

each person known by DTRT to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of each class of DTRT common stock;

 

   

each person who is expected to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of shares of New Pubco common stock immediately following the Business Combination;

 

   

each of DTRT’s current executive officers and directors;

 

   

each person who will become an executive officer or a director of New Pubco upon consummation of the Business Combination;

 

   

all of DTRT’s current executive officers and directors as a group; and

 

   

all of New Pubco’s executive officers and directors as a group after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The beneficial ownership of DTRT common stock pre-Business Combination is based on 28,750,000 shares of DTRT common stock issued and outstanding as of October 18, 2022, which includes an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of DTRT Class B common stock outstanding as of such date.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Pubco common stock immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination assumes two scenarios:

 

   

a “no redemption” scenario where no shares of DTRT Class A common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination; and

 

   

a “maximum redemption” scenario where 23,000,000 shares of DTRT Class A common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

Based on the foregoing assumptions, we estimate that there would be              shares of New Pubco common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and              shares of New Pubco common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “maximum redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the combined company and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the table that follows will be different.

The following table does not reflect beneficial ownership of any shares of New Pubco common stock issuable upon exercise of New Pubco Public Warrants, New Pubco Sponsor Warrants or working capital warrants, if any, as such securities are not exercisable or convertible within 60 days of             , 2022.

Unless otherwise indicated, DTRT believes that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by them.

classified into three classes, each comprising as nearly as possible one-third of the directors to serve three-year terms. Each Class I director, consisting of [●] , [●] and [●], will have a term that expires at New Pubco’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2023, each Class II director, consisting of [●], [●] and [●], will have a term that expires at New Pubco’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2024 and each Class III director, consisting of [●], [●] and [●], will have a term that expires at New Pubco’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2025, or in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death.

Director Independence

Based on information provided by each director concerning her or his background, employment and affiliations, we have determined that none of [Anthony Crawford, Rebecca Kellenberg, Mark Heaney and Dipa Mehta] has any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director and the transactions described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Committees of the Board of Directors

The standing committees of New Pubco Board consist of an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the committees report to the New Pubco Board as they deem appropriate and as the New Pubco Board may request. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees are set forth below. The New Pubco Board may also convene additional committees as necessary and in accordance with the organizational documents of New Pubco.

Bonuses

During Fiscal Year 2021, the NEOs were eligible to earn discretionary annual bonuses based on CDH’s achievement of certain corporate performance goals during such year. For Fiscal Year 2021, the annual bonuses for Messrs. Bledsoe, Holzer and Harriott were $                , $                 and $                , respectively.

Equity Incentive Compensation

During Fiscal Year 2021, CDH did not grant any option awards or other equity compensation to the NEOs.

Health and Welfare Benefits

The executive officers, including the NEOs, are eligible to receive the same employee benefits that are generally available to all full-time employees, subject to the satisfaction of certain eligibility requirements. These benefits include medical, dental and vision insurance and life and disability insurance plans. In structuring these benefit plans, CDH seeks to provide an aggregate level of benefits that are comparable to those provided by similar companies.

In addition, CDH maintains a tax-qualified 401(k) retirement plan that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Plan participants are able to defer eligible compensation subject to the applicable annual limits set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The 401(k) plan allows CDH to make a discretionary matching contribution, but no matching contributions were made in either Fiscal Year 2021 or 2020. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the plan’s related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan.

Perquisites and Personal Benefits

CDH does not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of the executive compensation program. Accordingly, CDH does not provide significant perquisites or other personal benefits to executive officers, including the NEOs, except as generally made available to all employees.

Employment Arrangements with NEOs

Montana Health Solutions, Inc. (d/b/a Consumer Direct Management Solutions), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDH, entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Employment Agreement”) with each of the NEOs. Each of the NEOs, pursuant to his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, receives certain payments and benefits in the event of a termination of employment, including an involuntary termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the company.

The material terms of each of the NEO’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement are as follows:

 

   

Position and Duties. Each Executive will serve in his/her respective position as specified in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and will have the duties, responsibilities and authority that are normally associated with such office and as reasonably requested by Montana Health Solutions, Inc. from time to time.

 

   

Term. Each Executive will serve on an at-will basis for an initial two-year term, with one-year automatic term renewals thereafter, unless either Montana Health Solutions, Inc. or the Executive provides 90 days’ notice of intent not to renew.

 

   

Compensation. The Executive’s base salary, annual bonus opportunity, equity grants and other compensation are set forth in a compensation letter from Montana Health Solutions, Inc.

Termination Rights and Restrictions.

 

   

Upon any termination of Executive’s employment, Executive will be entitled to receive (i) all earned or accrued but unpaid base salary through the termination date, (ii) amounts for any accrued but unused vacation through the termination date, (iii) reimbursement of qualified expenses incurred by Executive prior to the termination date, and (iv) all amounts or benefits to which Executive is expressly entitled under any applicable compensation plan, employee benefit plan or other arrangement of Montana Health Solutions, Inc. in which Executive was a participant during Executive’s employment with Montana Health Solutions, Inc., in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement (collectively (i) – (iv), the “Accrued Benefits”).

Executive Severance Plan

CDH does not maintain a severance plan for the NEOs. Any severance benefits are provided solely under the terms of their Amended and Restated Employment Agreements.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2021 Fiscal Year-End

As of December 31, 2021, none of the NEOs had any stock options or other equity awards from CDH outstanding.

Employee benefit and equity compensation plans and arrangements

2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan – see the summary of this plan under “The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal” above.

2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan – see the summary of this plan under “The ESPP Proposal” above.

Director Compensation

CDH’s policy is to reimburse directors for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings or performing other services in their capacities as directors. Historically, CDH’s directors have not received any cash compensation.

The CDH Board expects to review director compensation periodically to ensure that director compensation remains competitive such that it is able to recruit and retain qualified directors. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Pubco intends to develop and implement a compensation program for the board that is designed to align compensation with New Pubco’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Pubco to attract, retain, incentivize and reward directors who contribute to the long-term success of New Pubco. It is anticipated that the Compensation Committee of the New Pubco Board will determine the annual compensation to be paid to the members of the New Pubco Board upon completion of the Business Combination.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

DTRT Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 12, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 Founder Shares, for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Initial Stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial business combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial business combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders’ having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of DTRT Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Sponsor Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, DTRT consummated the DTRT Private Placement of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $11.2 million.

Each whole Sponsor Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of DTRT Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Sponsor Warrants will expire worthless. The Sponsor Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and DTRT’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Sponsor Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination.

Related Party Loans

On May 11, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan DTRT an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. DTRT borrowed $300,000 under the Note and fully repaid this amount on September 7, 2021.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of DTRT’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan DTRT funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If DTRT completes a Business Combination, DTRT will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to DTRT. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, DTRT may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been

 

265


Table of Contents

determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Sponsor Warrants. As of [ ], 2022 DTRT had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, DTRT entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which DTRT agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $1,666.66 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of DTRT’s management team through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and the DTRT’s liquidation. DTRT incurred $[ ] in the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through [ ], 2022 for such fees.

DTRT’s officers or directors will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. DTRT’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or DTRT’s or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, DTRT does not expect to have any additional controls in place governing the reimbursement payments to DTRT’s directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.

DTRT Related Party Transactions Policy

DTRT has adopted a formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions.

DTRT has adopted a Code of Ethics requiring DTRT to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by the DTRT Board (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC.

In addition, DTRT’s audit committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that DTRT enters into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. DTRT’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by DTRT to the Sponsor, DTRT’s officers or directors, or DTRT’s or their affiliates, or any of their affiliates.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

DTRT is not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with the Sponsor, executive officers or directors or completing the initial business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with the Sponsor, DTRT’s executive officers or directors. In the event DTRT seeks to complete our initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, DTRT, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking which is a member of FINRA or a valuation or appraisal firm, that such initial business combination is fair to DTRT from a financial point of view. DTRT not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context. There will be no finder’s fees, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation paid by DTRT to the Sponsor, DTRT’s officers or directors or our or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered to DTRT prior to or

in connection with the completion of DTRT’s initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, the following payments may be made to the Sponsor, DTRT’s officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, and, if made prior to our initial business combination will be made from (i) funds held outside the Trust Account or (ii) permitted withdrawals:

payment to the Sponsor of a total of up to $1,666.66 per month, for up to 15 months, for administrative and support services;

 

   

reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination; and

 

   

repayment of loans which may be made by the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor or our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

These payments may be made using funds that are not held in the Trust Account or, upon completion of the initial business combination, from any amounts remaining from the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us in connection therewith.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the DTRT Class A common stock (referred to herein as the Class A common stock) and the exercise of redemption rights by holders of Class A common stock in connection with the Mergers. This discussion applies only to Class A common stock that is held as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations, and does not address estate or any gift tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

 

   

financial institutions or financial services entities;

 

   

broker dealers;

 

   

insurance companies;

 

   

dealers or traders in securities subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of Class A common stock;

 

   

persons holding Class A common stock as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

 

   

U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

“specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

 

   

U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.;

 

   

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

 

   

regulated investment companies (RICs) or real estate investment trusts (REITs);

 

   

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;

 

   

persons who received their shares of Class A common stock as compensation;

 

   

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

 

   

tax-exempt entities.

If you are a partnership (or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) will generally depend on the status of the partners and your activities. Partnerships and their partners (or other owners) should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences to them of electing to have their Class A common stock redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed or of exchanging their Class A common stock for stock.

This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this proxy statement may affect the tax consequences described herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers for DTRT Stockholders

In the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, tax counsel to DTRT, the First Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. As such, the holders of our common stock will not recognize any gain or loss under the U.S. federal income tax laws as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, and neither will DTRT nor New Pubco. Each stockholder will have the same basis in New Pubco common stock received as a result of the Mergers as that holder has in our common stock held at the time the Mergers are consummated. Each holder’s holding period in New Pubco common stock received as a result of the Mergers will include the period during which such holder held our common stock at the time the Mergers are consummated, provided the latter was held by such holder as a capital asset at the time of consummation of the Mergers.

Redemption of Class A Common Stock

In the event that a holder’s shares of Class A common stock are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement under the section entitled “The Special Meeting Redemption Rights,” the treatment of the redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or other exchange of shares of Class A common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares of Class A common stock, a U.S. holder will be treated as described below under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock,” and a Non-U.S. holder will be treated as described under the section entitled “— Non-U.S. Holders Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares of Class A common stock, a holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to a U.S. holder described below under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders Taxation of Distributions,” and the tax consequences to a Non-U.S. holder described below under the section entitled “ Non-U.S. Holders Taxation of Distributions.”

Whether a redemption of shares of Class A common stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the redeemed holder before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively owned by the holder as a result of owning Sponsor Warrants or Public Warrants and any of our stock that a holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Class A common stock generally will be treated as a sale of Class A common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the holder’s interest in us or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a holder takes into account not only shares of our stock actually owned by the holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the holder has an interest or that have an interest in such holder, as well as any stock that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Class A common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Sponsor Warrants or the Public Warrants. Moreover, any of our stock that a holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the Business Combination generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately following the redemption of shares of Class A common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80 percent (80%) of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Class A common stock and the New Pubco common

stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination). There will be a complete termination of a holder’s interest if either (1) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the holder are redeemed and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of Class A common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation where such stockholder exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares of Class A common stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such a U.S. holder will be as described below under the section entitled “U.S. Holders Taxation of Distributions,” and the tax effects to such a Non-U.S. holder will be as described below under the section entitled “Non-U.S. Holders Taxation of Distributions.” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the holder in the redeemed Class A common stock will be added to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

A holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our shares of Class A common stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation purposes regardless of its source; or

 

   

an entity treated as a trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Taxation of Distributions. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “ Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A common stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “ Redemption of Class A Common Stock U.S. Holders Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period and ownership requirements are satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment

 

275


Table of Contents

interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A common stock described in this proxy statement may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition, as discussed above under the section entitled “ Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Class A common stock redeemed. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A common stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost less any prior distributions paid to such U.S. holder with respect to its shares of Class A common stock treated as a return of capital. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

U.S. holders who hold different blocks of Class A common stock (shares of Class A common stock purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” A Non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock who, or that, is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

 

   

a foreign corporation; or

 

   

an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.

Taxation of Distributions. If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “ Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such distribution will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividend is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30 percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class A common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Class A common stock, which will be treated as described below under the section entitled “ Redemption of Class A Common Stock Non-U.S. Holders Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock.”

The withholding tax described in the preceding paragraph does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected

 

276


Table of Contents

dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30 percent (30%) (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate).

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock. If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of Class A common stock is treated as a sale or other taxable disposition, as discussed above under the section entitled “ Redemption of Class A Common Stock,” a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of the redemption, unless:

 

   

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder);

 

   

such Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the disposition takes place and certain other conditions are met; or

 

   

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our Class A common stock and, in the circumstance in which shares of our Class A common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the redemption or such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of our Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that our Class A common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30 percent (30%) rate (or lower income tax treaty rate). If the second bullet point applies to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of 30 percent (30%).

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder in the redemption will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, we may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such redemption.

We believe that we are not, and have not been at any time since our formation, a United States real property holding corporation and we do not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the Business Combination is completed.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our Class A common stock and proceeds from the sale, taxable exchange or taxable redemption of our Class A common stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible United States backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

Amounts treated as dividends that are paid to a Non-U.S. holder are generally subject to reporting on IRS Form 1042-S even if the payments are exempt from withholding. A Non-U.S. holder generally will eliminate any

 

277


Table of Contents

other requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s United States federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

FATCA Withholding Taxes

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) impose withholding of 30 percent (30%) on payments of dividends (including amounts treated as dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on our Class A common stock. Previously, withholding with respect to the gross proceeds of a disposition of any stock, debt instrument, or other property that can produce U.S.-source dividends or interest was scheduled to begin on January 1, 2019; however, such withholding has been eliminated under proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, which can be relied on until final regulations become effective. In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. holder or an individual Non-U.S. holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of Class A common stock.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE MERGERS, AND IS NOT, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, TAX ADVICE. ALL OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONSULT THEIR LEGAL AND TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS, INCLUDING ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS, OR UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation

DTRT Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 19, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through September 7, 2021, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, its search for a target Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is DTRT Health Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which included the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.3 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5), and approximately $41,000 was offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liability.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 11,200,000 warrants (each, a “Sponsor Warrant” and collectively, the “Sponsor Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $11.2 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $234.6 million ($10.20 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Sponsor Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Table of Contents

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.20 per Public Share, plus pro rata interest earned in Trust Account). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders’ with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each

case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.20. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out

of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $160,000 in its operating bank account and a working capital of approximately $530,000.

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and subsequent to June 30, 2021, a loan from the Sponsor of $300,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). The Company repaid the Note in full on September 7, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4).

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” we have determined that the mandatory liquidation date and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. Over this time period, we have used, and will be using, these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2022.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 1, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.

 

F-9


Table of Contents

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

 

   

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

   

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

   

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in

 

F-10


Table of Contents

money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in interest income earned on Trust Account (see statement of operations) in the accompanying condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement are recognized as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Sponsor Warrants was determined using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities will be classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation will not be reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering are charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity or deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 and the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 22,700,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.3 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5), and approximately $41,000 was for offering costs allocated to the derivative warrant liabilities.

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 12, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”), for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Initial Stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a

 

F-13


Table of Contents

liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders’ having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20-trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Sponsor Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $11.2 million.

Each whole Sponsor Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Sponsor Warrants will expire worthless. The Sponsor Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Sponsor Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On May 11, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed $300,000 under the Note and fully repaid this amount on September 7, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to the Company.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Sponsor Warrants. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $1,666.66 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the Company’s management team through the earlier of

Table of Contents

consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. The Company incurred $5,000 and $10,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, for such fees. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had approximately $11,700 and $6,700, respectively, in due to related parties on the unaudited condensed balance sheets.

The Company’s officers or directors will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, the Company does not expect to have any additional controls in place governing the reimbursement payments to the Company’s directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial Business Combination.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Registration and Stockholders’ Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Sponsor Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Sponsor Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding

 

F-15


Table of Contents

actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.

Note 6 - Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, which were all subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity or deficit in the condensed balance sheets.

Note 7 - Stockholders’ Deficit

Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, all subject to possible redemption and therefore classified as temporary equity on the accompanying balance sheet. See Note 6.

Class B Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Of these, an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares of Class B common stock were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021; thus, these 750,000 shares of Class B common stock are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

F-16


Table of Contents

Only holders of the Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders’ except as required by law. The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Sponsor Warrants issued to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Note 8 - Warrants

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants have been issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Sponsor Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Sponsor Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its

 

F-17


Table of Contents

permitted transferees. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Redemption of warrants for cash:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Stockholders’ or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders’ or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “- Redemption of warrants for cash” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Sponsor Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to the officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the Sponsor Warrants) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The initial purchasers, or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Sponsor Warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described in this section, the Sponsor Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Level 1 assets include investments in U.S. Treasury Securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The fair value of the Sponsor Warrants was measured using Black-Scholes Option Closing Model. The fair value of the Sponsor Warrants was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

DTRT Health Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of DTRT Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

DTRT HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation

DTRT Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 19, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through September 7, 2021, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, its search for a target Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is DTRT Health Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which included the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.3 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5), and approximately $41,000 was offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liability.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 11,200,000 warrants (each, a “Sponsor Warrant” and collectively, the “Sponsor Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $11.2 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $234.6 million ($10.20 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Sponsor Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

F-26


Table of Contents

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.20 per Public

Share, plus pro rata interest earned in Trust Account). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders’ with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further

Table of Contents

liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.20. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised

Table of Contents

standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $342,000 in its operating bank account and a working capital of approximately $883,000.

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and subsequent to June 30, 2021, a loan from the Sponsor of $300,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). The Company repaid the Note in full on September 7, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4).

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” we have determined that the mandatory liquidation date and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to complete a business combination by December 7, 2022 or during any Extension Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. Over this time period, we have used, and will be using, these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

 

F-29


Table of Contents

coverage limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

 

   

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

   

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

   

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement are recognized as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Sponsor Warrants was determined using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities will be classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation will not be reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering are charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2021, 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred tax assets with a full valuation against them.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 22,700,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for each class of common stock:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on April 19, 2021 (inception) using a modified retrospective method for transition. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.3 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5), and approximately $41,000 was for offering costs allocated to the derivative warrant liabilities.

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 12, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”), for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Initial Stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders’ having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Sponsor Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $11.2 million.

Each whole Sponsor Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Sponsor Warrants will expire worthless. The Sponsor Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Sponsor Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On May 11, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest

 

F-33


Table of Contents

bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed $300,000 under the Note and fully repaid this amount on September 7, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to the Company.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Sponsor Warrants. As of December 31, 2021 the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $1,666.66 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the Company’s management team through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. The Company incurred $6,668 in the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 for such fees.

The Company’s officers or directors will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, the Company does not expect to have any additional controls in place governing the reimbursement payments to the Company’s directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial Business Combination.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Registration and Stockholders’ Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Sponsor Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Sponsor Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public

 

F-34


Table of Contents

Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 6 - Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, which were all subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the balance sheet.

Note 7 - Stockholders’ Deficit

Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, all subject to possible redemption and therefore classified as temporary equity on the accompanying balance sheet. See Note 6.

Class B Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 5,750,000 shares of Class B common

stock issued and outstanding. Of these, an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares of Class B common stock were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on September 7, 2021; thus, these 750,000 shares of Class B common stock are no longer subject to forfeiture.

Only holders of the Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders’ except as required by law. The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Sponsor Warrants issued to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Note 8 - Warrants

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 11,200,000 Sponsor Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants have been issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Table of Contents

The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Sponsor Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Sponsor Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Redemption of warrants for cash:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash:

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders’ or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders’ or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “—Redemption of warrants for cash” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Sponsor Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to the officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the Sponsor Warrants) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The initial purchasers, or their

 

F-37

permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Sponsor Warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described in this section, the Sponsor Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021, the valuation allowance was approximately $994,300. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $4.4 million in U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers, and no state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels in the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021.

Level 1 assets include investments in U.S. Treasury Securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The fair value of the Sponsor Warrants was measured using Black-Scholes Option Closing Model. The fair value of the Sponsor Warrants was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “CDH,” “we,” or “our”) is a Montana corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Service that provides in-home, personal care services through trained and screened staff (“care providers” or “providers”) to the elderly and other individuals with chronic conditions or disabilities. Company operations originally began in 1990 and were brought together under the CDH holding company in 2014 and 2015.

CDH is a self-directed personal care network supporting aging adults and individuals with disabilities to live in their homes and communities by expanding choice and control. CDH is committed to the philosophy of self-direction and autonomy for in-home personal care services, and provides services and supports helping people and families of all ages, including children, older adults, and people with disabilities, remain safe, healthy and independent in their own home.

On September 28, 2022, the Company signed an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with DTRT Health Acquisition Corp. (“DTRT”), a publicly traded SPAC, that, when and if consummated, will lead to a series of transactions resulting in the Company becoming a public company (the “Business Combination”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as codified in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions between the consolidated subsidiaries comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities

ASC 810, Consolidation, requires an analysis to determine (a) whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest (“VI”) is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and (b) whether the Company has a controlling financial interest. An entity is a VIE if any one of the following conditions exist: (i) the legal entity does not have sufficient equity investment at risk, (ii) the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or (iii) the legal entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights.

A controlling financial interest is defined as having both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interest in entities to determine if the Company holds any VIs and if it does, whether the entities in which it holds VIs are VIEs and therefore whether to apply the VIE model. Entities in which the Company holds a VI that do not qualify as VIEs are evaluated for consolidation as voting interest entities (“VOE”) under the voting model. The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it holds a controlling financial interest, and all VOEs that it controls through a majority voting interest or through other means. The Company evaluates whether an entity is a VIE when reconsideration events as outlined in ASC 810 occur.

As a public business entity, the Company is required to apply the VIE guidance to legal entities under common control and may no longer apply the private company accounting alternative. As a result, the Company’s Consolidated VIEs have been consolidated in the historical financial statements presented.

 

F-46


Table of Contents

For more information on the Company’s VIEs, see Note 5, Variable Interest Entities and Note 7, Debt.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates used by the Company include the useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets and workers’ compensation reserve. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company only has one class of common stock and had no dilutive instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include investments in highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash deposits in financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At times, certain bank deposits exceed FDIC insured limits. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes agency deposits maintained in financial institutions which are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. At times, certain bank deposits exceed FDIC insured limits. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk. Certain agreements held by the Company allow for prefunding of direct program costs. The Company receives these deposits and disburses funds to the care providers on behalf of the payor.

Agency Fund Obligations

Agency fund obligations represent the Company’s contractual obligations to disburse funds to care providers on behalf of the payor and are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at the time the Company obtains the funds from payors. The agency fund obligations represent the liabilities that will be remitted to the appropriate care providers within one year of the balance sheet date.

Accounts Receivable

The Company reports accounts receivable from services rendered at their estimated transaction price, which includes price concessions based on the amounts expected from payors. The Company’s accounts receivable are uncollateralized and consist of amounts due from Medicaid, managed care organizations, and patients. The credit risk from other payors is limited due to the significance of Medicaid as the primary payor. The Company believes the credit risk associated with its Medicaid accounts is limited due to (i) the historical collection rate from Medicaid and (ii) the fact that Medicaid is a U.S. government payor. The Company does not believe that there are any other significant concentrations from any particular payor that would subject it to any significant credit risk in the collection of patient accounts receivable.

Cloud Computing Arrangement

Implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract are capitalized and recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance

Table of Contents

sheets. Capitalized implementation costs include external professional service costs and internal personnel costs related to technical development. Post-implementation training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. No cloud computing implementation costs were capitalized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the arrangement, which is deemed to be three years. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, amortization expense was $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Cloud computing arrangements are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. No indications of impairment were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Non-Controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of assets and liabilities in a consolidated subsidiary owned by a third party. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 13, Shareholders’ Equity, for additional discussion regarding non-controlling interests.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized based on the transaction price, which is determined based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer that the Company expects to be entitled to, excluding any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, as services are time-and-materials based and amounts collected may be less than amounts billed due to implicit price concessions. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a performance obligation to a customer, which occurs over time as the service is performed. Determining the method and amount of revenue to recognize requires judgment by management. Judgments include determining whether the Company is the principal or agent with respect to performance obligations. If the Company determines it is the principal, it records revenues on a gross basis and if the Company determines it is the agent, it records revenue at the net amount that it retains for its service. The Company is the principal if it controls the service prior to it being transferred to the client. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. See Note 4, Revenue, for further information.

Cost of Services

We incur direct care wages, payroll taxes and benefit-related costs in connection with providing our services. We also provide workers’ compensation coverage for our employees. Employees are also reimbursed for their travel time and related travel costs in certain instances.

Gross Receipts Tax

The Company is subject to gross receipts tax in various states. The gross receipts tax is included as an expense within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Gross receipts taxes were $10.4 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code as a consolidated entity. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, each shareholder is liable for individual federal and state income taxes on the Company’s taxable income.

Table of Contents

Deferred Transaction Costs

Deferred transaction costs consist of direct incremental legal, consulting and accounting fees relating to the merger transaction, as discussed in Note 1, Description of Business, which are capitalized and will be recorded as a reduction to the issuance of equity arising from the consummation of the merger transaction. In the event the merger transaction is terminated, deferred transaction costs will be expensed. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred such costs amounting to $3.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for more details on the Business Combination.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has identified five operating segments and three reportable segments, Agency With Choice (“AWC”), Fiscal/Employer Agent (“FE/A”), and Agency-Based Traditional (“ABT”).

In the AWC segment, the consumer serves as the managing employer to select, train, and dismiss care providers, while the Company serves as the employer of record and assists directly in the provision of care and training of care providers. This segment is also referred to as a co-employment model. In the F/EA segment, the consumer is the legal employer, and the Company is contracted primarily by state Medicaid agencies or managed care organizations to process payroll, to fund and distribute paychecks, and to administer the setup of the consumer as the legal employer. Under the ABT segment, the Company is the legal and managing employer of the care providers responsible for recruiting, hiring, managing, and dismissing care providers on behalf of clients, while the consumer may choose to interview and select care providers from the pool of potential care providers employed by the Company.

Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the business, makes resource allocation decisions, and assesses performance. The CODM, who is the Chief Executive Officer, uses gross profit as the primary profit measure to manage the business. See Note 11, Segments, for additional information on the Company’s segments.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable, reflecting the entity’s own assumptions about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants; however, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Debt includes the following instruments: Revolving line of credit, Commercial loan, Financing agreement, Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan, Shareholder notes and VIE Promissory Notes. Due to the variable nature and recent transaction dates of the Company’s debt instruments, the carrying value of the debt approximates the fair value of the debt using Level 2 inputs as defined under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02, including all the related amendments subsequent to its issuance, will supersede the current guidance for lease accounting. Lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of the lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This ASU increases transparency in financial reporting by requiring business entities to disclose in notes to their financial statements information about certain types of government assistance. This ASU requires the following annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance, such as a grant model within FASB ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, or International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance: (1) information regarding the nature of the transactions and the method applied to account for the government assistance; (2) line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by government assistance and applicable amounts; and (3) significant terms and conditions of the agreement, including commitments and contingencies. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and should be applied either (1) prospectively to all transactions with a government accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application, or (2) retrospectively to those transactions. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and subsequently issued several supplemental ASUs (collectively, “ASC 326”). This ASU requires entities to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss for most financial assets, including trade and other receivables, other long-term financings including available for sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, and loans. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amended the scope of ASC 326 and clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the standard and should continue to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. This ASU will be effective for us on

January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. COVID-19 Pandemic

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we promptly convened a cross-functional COVID-19 task force comprised of the Company’s leaders to communicate with our employees concerning best practices and changes in Company policies and procedures. To mitigate the effects of the virus, the Company implemented a remote-work policy for administrative and support staff and distributed personal protective equipment for care providers across the country, who have continued to serve consumers throughout the pandemic.

ARPA Spending Plans

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”), which became law on March 11, 2021, provides for local, territorial, and Tribal governments to mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Additionally, the law provides for a 10-percentage point increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid home and community based services (“HCBS”) from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, provided the state satisfied certain conditions. States are permitted to use the state funds equivalent to the additional federal funds through March 31, 2025. States must use the monies attributable to this matching fund increase to supplement, not supplant, their level of state spending for the implementation of activities enhanced under the Medicaid HCBS in effect as of April 1, 2021.

For certain states, the Company must implement efforts and expend funds primarily for the further recruitment, retention and training of care providers and funds may be subject to recoupment if not expended or are expended on non-approved uses. In addition, the Company is required to properly and fully document the use of such funds in reports to the state in which the funds originated. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received state funding provided by the ARPA in an aggregate amount of $18.5 million. The Company deferred the entire amount.

CARES Act

In response to COVID-19, the U.S. Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) on March 27, 2020. Through the CARES Act, payments were authorized through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (“Provider Relief Fund” or “PRF”) for distribution to eligible providers who provided diagnoses, testing or care for individuals with a possible or actual case of COVID-19, specifically to reimburse providers for healthcare related expenses related to the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, preparations for treating cases of COVID-19 positive patients, and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. The Company applied for and received a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan through the PPP in the amount of $10.0 million. See Note 7, Debt, for further discussion.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ interpretation of the underlying terms and conditions of such PRF payments, including auditing and reporting requirements, continues to evolve. Additional guidance or new and amended interpretations of existing guidance on the terms and conditions of such PRF payments may result in changes in the Company’s estimate of amounts for which the terms and conditions are reasonably assured of being met, and any such changes may be material. Additionally, any such changes may result in the Company’s inability to recognize additional PRF payments or may result in the derecognition of amounts previously recognized, which may be material.

4. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:

 

   

Identify the contract with a customer

 

F-51


Table of Contents
   

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Determine the transaction price

 

   

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of in-home care and related services to customers. The Company’s customers include individual consumers as well as managed care organizations and state government agencies (“Payors”) across the United States. All of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time. The following is a description of principal activities – separated by reportable segments – from which the Company generates its revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 11, Segments.

Agency With Choice

Under the AWC, or co-employment, model, the Company provides in-home care services to consumers through its employee network of care providers under guidelines agreed to with state government agencies and managed care organizations. The Company contracts directly with the recipient of the in-home care services (i.e., the consumer) and is the employer of record for each of the care providers. The Company actively recruits new care providers and performs all required pre-employment screening activities, such as, but not limited to, performing background checks and delivering training, prior to hiring each care providers and approving them to provide care services to consumers. The consumer acts as a “managing employer” and provides day-to-day oversight of the care providers as services are performed in accordance with the consumer’s care plan, which outlines the allowable services under Medicaid; however, the Company maintains the responsibility to evaluate workplace health and safety conditions, monitor delivery of care, address service issues and customer complaints, and continuously reassess a care provider’s employment status, maintaining the sole right to terminate a care provider for any reason at any time. Since the Company’s employees deliver the service and the Company has the ability to direct its employees in the performance of its service, the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the care services to the consumer. In addition, due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, the Company pays its employees through payroll on a regular basis prior to receiving payment for services rendered from a Payor, such as the state government agency or managed care organization, who pays consideration to the Company on behalf of the consumer. Though, in certain cases, the consumer may be responsible to pay for a component of the service, which is referred to as a co-payment. The Company maintains the authority to set the payroll rates paid to its care providers. As such, the Company controls the care service and presents revenue as it satisfies its performance obligation to provide the care services on a gross basis as a principal. Further, though the tasks performed on a daily basis may change, each hour of in-home care services is substantially the same and the consumer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as services are provided. As such, the Company’s single performance obligation under its AWC in-home care service contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods.

As the services are time-and-materials based, the fees represent variable consideration. The Company receives a single rate per increment of time of service rendered and such rates are either negotiated between the Company and the Payor or set through government regulations applicable to the jurisdiction in which the services are delivered. As the Company’s single performance obligation within its AWC customer contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods and the transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed. The uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on an hourly basis as the Company satisfies its obligation to perform in-home care services, because the variable payments specifically relate to transferring the distinct service that is part of a series of distinct services (i.e., the hourly in-home care service), and the variable amount relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy that distinct hour of in-home care service.

Fiscal/Employer Agent

Under the F/EA model, the Company provides care management administrative services, which include payroll, billing and other administrative services, such as tax withholding, service-request processing, and other services, to state government agencies, managed care organizations, and individual consumers. As the care management administrative services allow for transaction processing, such as processing of service requests, and payroll, the nature of the Company’s promise is an obligation of standing ready to perform the services. There is no limit to the number of transactions that can be processed nor does the quantity of transactions available to be processed diminish over time. There is not a substantial amount of uncertainty as to whether the transactions will occur only an uncertainty as to the number of transactions that will be processed. In addition, there is no uncertainty in the Company’s obligation to make the services available each month. The Company is standing ready to provide the care management administrative services. As such, the Company’s obligation represents a single promise and is a single performance obligation. Though the types of transactions processed on a monthly basis may change, each month of care management administrative services is substantially the same and the consumer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as services are provided. The Company’s single performance obligation under its F/EA care management administrative service contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods.

In these arrangements, the Company receives a per member per month (“PMPM”) fee in return for performing its payroll, billing, and other administrative services on an on-going basis as well as reimbursements for payroll amounts remitted by the Company to care providers. Under the FE/A model, care providers are non-employee, third parties. Consumers are the employer of record, oversee the care providers, negotiate wages, and hold sole authority to terminate the providers’ employment. The Company is not primarily responsible for providing the care services and takes no responsibility for such services, and, therefore, does not control the care services provided by the care providers. The consumer and provider contract directly with each other, and the Company is not a party to those agreements. Accordingly, the Company presents revenue on a net basis, as an agent, with regard to the payroll fees collected from customers as reimbursement for amounts paid to the third-party care providers. For its care management administrative services, the Company presents revenue on a gross basis as a principal as the Company controls the services and no third-party is involved in the delivery of these services. In addition, PMPM fees represent variable consideration as the number of members may change on a monthly basis. As the Company’s single performance obligation within its F/EA customer contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods and the transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed. The uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on a monthly basis as the Company satisfies its obligation to perform care management administrative services, because the variable payments specifically relate to transferring the distinct service that is part of a series of distinct services, and the variable amount relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy that distinct month of care management administrative service.

Agency-Based Traditional

Under the ABT model, the Company, through its internal employees, provides in-home care to individuals through contracts with federal agencies, managed care organizations, or directly with individuals on a time-and-materials basis. Such contracts relate to a specified episode of care and are typically short term. The length of each episode of care represents the period in which the Company has enforceable rights and obligations. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single specified in-home care service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments, such as hours or days of service. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Similar to the performance obligations within the Company’s AWC and F/EA contracts, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.

Other

The Company provides other services to customers, including the following:

Support Broker Services (“SBS”)

The Company provides customers with advisory and support services over an agreed upon contract term to an individual receiving self-directed care services, or their representative. Each contract contains a single performance obligation to provide the requested service. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single advisory or support service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments, such as hours, of service. As the services are time-and-materials based, related fees represent variable consideration. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Similar to the performance obligations within the Company’s AWC, F/EA, and ABT contracts, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.

Support Service Training (“TRN”)

The Company provides training to care providers of state government agencies. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Each contract contains a single performance obligation to provide the requested service. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single training service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments, such as hours, or units of service. As the services are time-and-materials based, related fees represent variable consideration. Similar to the Company’s other performance obligations, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.

Performance Obligations

The Company’s contracts include a single performance obligation. In satisfying the performance obligation within each contract, the Company may receive payment from the following sources: (i) state government agencies, (ii) Medicaid programs, (iii) managed care organization, (iv) commercial insurers, and (v) individual patients. Services are typically billed on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and payments are due from customers based on contracted terms, typically within two months or less.

Variable Consideration

Amounts collected from all sources may be less than amounts billed due to implicit price concessions, resulting from client eligibility issues, insufficient or incomplete documentation, unauthorized services, and other reasons unrelated to credit risk. Such price concessions represent variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the expected value based on its assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and a review of specific transactions, historical experience, market and economic conditions, trends in federal, state and private employer health care coverage and other collection indicators. There were no significant reversals of revenue due to change in estimates or material changes in variable consideration or the constraint on variable consideration between the periods presented.

In addition, substantially all Company revenue is derived from Medicaid reimbursement programs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The laws and regulations governing the Medicaid programs are extensive and are subject to interpretation. While this revenue is not based on any type of cost adjustment basis involving retroactive adjustments, the programs are subject to audit, and recovery efforts may be implemented by the state

if violations of program rules have occurred. The Company is aware the potential for recovery exists for any Medicaid provider. The Company adjusts its estimates of variable consideration for potential recoveries that may exist.

The Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity not to recognize a significant financing component if the time between the transfer of a good or service and payment is one year or less. The Company does not enter into contracts in which the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer is greater than 12 months. In addition, the Company excludes from revenue sales taxes and other government-assessed and imposed taxes on revenue-generating activities that are invoiced to customers.

The Company also applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Costs to Fulfill a Contract

In November 2019, the Company entered into a contract in the State of Washington to provide services under the AWC model. The contract has an initial seven-year term from the date that operations began. Operations began in February 2022. In the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred costs to fulfill the contract. These costs consisted of labor, insurance premiums, supplies, interest expense on incremental borrowings from the Company’s line of credit, and rent expense incurred on leased building for employees performing setup activities.

The costs to fulfill the Washington contract totaled $11.0 million, enhance the resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered. Therefore, the Company capitalized these costs, which are reflected in fulfillment cost asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The total amounts capitalized, net of amortization, are $10.3 million and $10.1 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively.

Capitalized contract fulfillment costs will be amortized based on the transfer of services to which the assets relate, which is estimated to be seven years (original term of the Washington Contract), and are included in cost of services. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.7 million and $0, respectively, on these capitalized contract costs. In addition, there was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized.

5. Variable Interest Entities

Although the Company does not have an equity interest in Arizuma Holdings, LLC (“Arizuma”), 607 Southwest Higgins, LLC (“607 Southwest”), or Consumer Direct Grant Creek Campus, LLC (“CD Grant”), the Company has provided a financial guarantee on each of the respective debt arrangements used to finance each of these entities. Additionally, the shareholders of the aforementioned entities are also the majority shareholders of the Company, and thus Arizuma, 607 Southwest, CD Grant and the Company are determined to be entities under common control. Based on these factors, the Company has determined that it possesses an implicit variable interest in Arizuma, 607 Southwest and CD Grant. The financial guarantees expose the Company to an obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs that would be more than insignificant for the VIEs due to the legal entities’ lack of other operational business activities. Furthermore, the Company determined that the Arizuma, 607 Southwest and CD Grant individual total equity investments are not sufficient to finance each company’s activity without additional subordinated financing resulting in each of these entities being considered a VIE.

Arizuma, 607 Southwest, CD Grant each hold a single real estate asset leased to one of the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition, through each of the leasing arrangements with the VIEs, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary because it has power to direct the significant activities of the VIEs, which include operations and maintenance of the properties, and has economic exposure as the risk of loss is shared amongst the group as the debt that financed the underlying leased assets is guaranteed by the Company. As a result,

Arizuma, 607 Southwest and CD Grant (collectively the “Consolidated VIEs”) are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements and all intercompany balances and transactions between the parties have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Consolidated VIEs’ primary assets include property and equipment and primary liabilities include Promissory Notes. Total assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets for the Consolidated VIEs were $19.7 million and $23.1, respectively, as of June 30, 2022 and $20.1 million and $23.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

Revolving Line of Credit – Related Party

In July 2020, the Company established a revolving line of credit with Bank of Montana, a related party as further described in Note 12, Related Parties, which provided a maximum committed amount of $15.0 million. In December 2020, the maximum commitment limit on the revolving line of credit was increased twice, first to $17.5 million and later to $30.0 million. In April 2021, the maximum commitment limit on the revolving line of credit was increased to $33.0 million. In September 2021, the maximum commitment limit on the revolving line of credit was increased to $45.0 million, which represents the maximum commitment limit as of June 30, 2022. In addition, the revolving line of credit agreement generally limits borrowing to a factor of accounts receivable outstanding at any given time, up to the maximum commitment limit.

The revolving line of credit interest rate is stated at prime, as published by the Wall Street Journal, plus 3.24%, but at no time less than 6.49% (7.99% at June 30, 2022). The revolving line of credit is secured by accounts receivable, equipment and the personal guarantees of the Company’s shareholders.

The balance outstanding on this revolving line of credit was $8.0 million net of unamortized loan fees of $0.9 million and $30.8 million, net of unamortized loan fees of $1.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee equal to 0.375% of the maximum commitment limit amount on the first day of each calendar quarter. Unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable in full at the line of credit maturity date.

The Company uses the advances from the revolving line of credit to provide funds to subsidiaries. Additionally, the funds of subsidiaries are used to make repayments on the revolving line of credit. These transactions are reflected on the subsidiary financial statements as Due from Affiliate and Due to Affiliate for fund transfers with the Company. All advances and repayments on the revolving line of credit are reported on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Direct and incremental fees and costs incurred associated with the issuance of the revolving line of credit and subsequent increases to the maximum commitment limit have been capitalized and are being amortized through the line of credit maturity date, currently July 1, 2024.

The revolving line of credit agreement states the Company will not (a) increase, or change in any beneficial way to the recipient, the current compensation for services, including all salaries, bonuses, incentives, loans or other consideration to: any of the individual guarantors, regardless of capacity, or any affiliate or immediate family members of the foregoing, or (b) pay or make dividends or distributions, of cash or otherwise, or make a loan or provide other consideration to any of the individual guarantors, regardless of capacity, or any affiliate or immediate family member of any of the individual guarantors, that in total exceeds $750,000 during any calendar year, provided however, the forgoing $750,000 shall not include dividends or distributions paid in amounts reasonably necessary to cover the income tax liability directly associated with the ownership of the Company. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Commercial Loan

On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into a commercial loan agreement (the “Commercial Loan”) with Montana Community Development Corporation dba MoFi (“MoFi”). The Company borrowed a total of $0.8 million under the Commercial Loan. The Company will utilize the proceeds from the Commercial Loan for general working capital purposes.

The Commercial Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per annum and has a maturity date of December 15, 2031. Principal and interest payments will be made in equal monthly amounts through the maturity date, commencing on January 15, 2022. The loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time without premium or penalty. The loan is guaranteed by owners of the Company and are collateralized by certain assets of the Company.

Financing Agreement

In November 2019, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Key Equipment Finance (“KEF”), whereas disbursements from the Financing Agreement would be used to pay for the Company’s software-as-a-service applications as part of the Master Subscription Agreement (“MSA”) entered into between the Company and the service provider. The Company directed KEF to advance the disbursements to the service provider based on the respective disbursement dates as set forth in the Financing Agreement, on the Company’s behalf and in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation under the MSA.

On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a New Financing Agreement (“KEF Financing Agreement”) with KEF that replaced the Financing Agreement with disbursements used to satisfy the Company’s obligation with the service provider under the MSA. Under the New Financing Agreement, the Company will finance a total amount of $9.5 million which will be payable in nine monthly installments of $0.3 million commencing on March 30, 2021 and thirteen monthly installments of $0.6 million commencing on January 30, 2022. The New Financing Agreement is secured by a security interest in the licenses granted under the MSA.

PPP Loan – Related Party

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent legislation passed within the CARES Act of 2020, the Company applied for and received an SBA loan through the PPP. On April 5, 2020, a loan in the amount of $10.0 million was granted to the Company under the PPP program, which was funded by Bank of Montana. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum. The PPP loan is to be used primarily for payroll-related costs, lease, and utility payments.

The PPP loan matures on April 5, 2025. In accordance with Section 3 of the Flexibility Act, enacted in June 2020, the PPP loan was no longer in the deferment period as of July 21, 2021, and principal and interest payments began on August 1, 2021. On June 3, 2022, the Company received a letter from Bank of Montana stating that the PPP loan of $10.0 million has been fully forgiven by the SBA.

Shareholder Notes – Related Party

In June 2020, the Company entered into unsecured and subordinated notes with three shareholders (the “Shareholder Notes”) for an aggregate amount of $5.1 million.

9. Retirement Plan

The Company offers a 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees who have completed 90 days of employment. Under the provisions of the 401(k) plan, employees may elect to defer pre-tax amounts to the plan up to 100% of their annual compensation, not to exceed the annual limitations set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company match for this plan is at the discretion of the Board of Directors each year. No matching contributions were made for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal and administrative proceedings arising out of the operation of our programs in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such contingencies to the extent it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe the ultimate liability, if any, for outstanding proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of amounts already provided, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is reasonably possible an adverse determination might have an impact on a particular period. The Company believes the provision for legal contingencies is adequate, the outcome of legal proceedings is difficult to predict and the Company may settle legal claims or be subject to judgments for amounts that exceed estimates.

Government Regulations

The health care industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to matters such as licensure, accreditation, government health care program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services and Medicaid fraud and

 

F-60


Table of Contents

abuse. Recently, government activity has increased with regard to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by health care providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government health care programs, as well as the imposition of significant fines and penalties and repayments for patient services previously billed. Management is unaware of any fraud or violation of laws and regulations related to Medicaid patient services.

Third-Party Audits and Revenue

Substantially all Company revenue is derived from Medicaid reimbursement programs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The laws and regulations governing the Medicaid programs are extensive and are subject to interpretation. While this revenue is not based on any type of cost adjustment basis involving retroactive adjustments, the programs are subject to audit, and recovery efforts may be implemented by the state if violations of program rules have occurred. The Company is aware the potential for recovery exists for any Medicaid provider.

Insurance and Claims

The Company purchases professional and general liability insurance plus umbrella coverage to cover medical malpractice and general liability claims. Claims from unknown incidents may yet be asserted in the future arising from services provided from the date of inception to June 30, 2022.

Operating Leases Commitments

The Company currently leases office facilities under non-cancelable lease agreements, which are accounted for as operating leases, expiring on various dates through 2037 and include leases with escalating rent payments. Total rent expense was approximately $1.1 million and $0.7 million included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.

The approximate future minimum operating lease payments as of June 30, 2022, are as follows (in thousands):

11. Segments

The CODM views the Company as five operating segments and allocates resources and makes decisions based on the gross profit of each of these operating segments of the Company. Based on the operations of the business, the decision-making process, and the criteria for assessing performance outlined by ASC Topic 280, Segments (“ASC 280”), the Company concluded that reporting separate information about the operating segments Support Broker Services and Support Service Training does not enhance the financial statement user’s understanding of the business. The Company has concluded that, using the quantitative thresholds established by ASC 280, for reporting purposes the operating segments Support Broker Services and Support Service Training may be combined in an “Other” category. As a result, the Company has three reportable segments and an “Other” category.

The tables below set forth information about the Company’s reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors

Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Missoula, Montana

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consumer Direct Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “CDH,” “we” or “our”) is a Montana corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Service that provides in-home, personal care services through trained and screened staff (“care providers,” or “providers”) to the elderly and other individuals with chronic conditions or disabilities. Company operations originally began in 1990 and were brought together under the CDH holding company in 2014 and 2015.

CDH is a self-directed personal care network supporting aging adults and individuals with disabilities to live in their homes and communities by expanding choice and control. CDH is committed to the philosophy of self-direction and autonomy for in-home personal care services, and provides services and supports helping people and families of all ages, including children, older adults, and people with disabilities, remain safe, healthy and independent in their own home.

On September 28, 2022, the Company signed an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with DTRT Health Acquisition Corp. (“DTRT”), a publicly traded SPAC, that, when and if consummated, will lead to a series of transactions resulting in the Company becoming a public company (the “Business Combination”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as codified in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions between the consolidated subsidiaries comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities

ASC 810, Consolidation, requires an analysis to determine (a) whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest (“VI”) is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and (b) whether the Company has a controlling financial interest. An entity is a VIE if any one of the following conditions exist: (i) the legal entity does not have sufficient equity investment at risk, (ii) the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or (iii) the legal entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights.

A controlling financial interest is defined as having both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interest in entities to determine if the Company holds any VIs and if it does, whether the entities in which it holds VIs are VIEs and therefore whether to apply the VIE model. Entities in which the Company holds a VI that do not qualify as VIEs are evaluated for consolidation as voting interest entities (“VOE”) under the voting model. The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it holds a controlling financial interest, and all VOEs that it controls through a majority voting interest or through other means. The Company evaluates whether an entity is a VIE when reconsideration events, as outlined in ASC 810 occur.

As a public business entity, the Company is required to apply the VIE guidance to legal entities under common control and may no longer apply the private company accounting alternative. As a result, the Company’s VIEs have been consolidated in the historical financial statements presented.

 

F-70


Table of Contents

For more information on the Company’s VIEs, see Note 5, Variable Interest Entities and Note 8, Debt.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates used by the Company include the useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets and workers’ compensation reserve. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgment about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company only has one class of common stock and had no dilutive instruments for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include investments in highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash deposits in financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At times, certain bank deposits exceed FDIC insured limits. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes agency deposits maintained in financial institutions which are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. At times, certain bank deposits exceed FDIC insured limits. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk. Certain agreements held by the Company allow for prefunding of direct program costs. The Company receives these deposits and disburses funds to the care providers on behalf of the payor.

Agency Fund Obligations

Agency fund obligations represent the Company’s contractual obligations to disburse funds to care providers on behalf of the payor and are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at the time the Company obtains the funds from payors. The agency fund obligations represent the liabilities that will be remitted to the appropriate care providers within one year of the balance sheet date.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. We place our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash with major financial institutions. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, and throughout the years ended, we had deposits in excess of FDIC limits. Credit sales are made primarily to state Medicaid programs or managed care companies which account for a substantial portion of our accounts receivable. While such receivables are not collateralized, we evaluate their collectability based on several factors including customers’ payment history.

Accounts Receivable

The Company reports accounts receivable from services rendered at their estimated transaction price, which includes price concessions based on the amounts expected from payors. The Company’s accounts receivable are uncollateralized and consist of amounts due from Medicaid, managed care organizations, and patients. The credit

 

F-71


Table of Contents

risk from other payors is limited due to the significance of Medicaid as the primary payor. The Company believes the credit risk associated with its Medicaid accounts is limited due to (i) the historical collection rate from Medicaid and (ii) the fact that Medicaid is a U.S. government payor. The Company does not believe that there are any other significant concentrations from any particular payor that would subject it to any significant credit risk in the collection of patient accounts receivable.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is recognized over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the respective period.

The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment:

 

Buildings      25 to 40 years  
Office equipment and furniture      5-7 years  
Software      3 years  
Computers and equipment      5 years  
Leasehold improvements      Lessor of 7 years or lease term  
Vehicles      5 years  

Additions and improvements (including interest costs for construction of qualifying long-lived assets) are capitalized.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets, which consist of customer relationships, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and we periodically evaluate the remaining useful lives of our finite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

The Company’s customer relationships were deemed to have a life of five years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $110,200. The carrying amount of definite-lived intangible assets were $211,217 and $321,417 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The estimated future amortization of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2021, is $110,200 and $101,017 for 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Cloud Computing Arrangement

Implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract are capitalized and recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized implementation costs include external professional service costs and internal personnel costs related to technical development. Post-implementation training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, $6.5 million and $4.8 million of cloud computing implementation costs were capitalized, respectively. Capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the arrangement, which is deemed to be three years. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, amortization expense was $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Cloud computing arrangements are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. No indications of impairment were identified during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

F-72


Table of Contents

Internally-Developed Software

Software development costs for internal-use software are capitalized once the project is in the application development stage in accordance with the accounting guidance for internal-use software. These capitalized costs include external direct costs of services consumed in developing or obtaining the software and personnel expenses for employees who are directly associated with the development. Capitalization of these costs concludes once the project is substantially complete, and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of three years.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets or group expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. No indications of impairment were identified during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Deferred Rent

The Company accounts for leases under the provisions of ASC 840, Leases, which requires that leases be evaluated at their inception as either operating or capital leases, and may receive renewal or expansion options, rent holidays, leasehold improvement allowances and other incentives on certain lease agreements. Leases are classified as capital leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. The Company recognizes operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Rent expenses in excess of cash paid during the reporting period are recognized as a deferred rent liability and amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.

Workers’ Compensation Reserve

The Company bears significant risk under its large-deductible workers’ compensation insurance program. The liability is established for long-term stability in the consolidated financial statements and is an estimate for future claims and is established based on claim experience from prior years. Due to its long-term nature, the account remains stable over time and is not reduced for current payments on claims. Therefore, management has elected to classify the entire liability as long-term in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes its obligations associated with this program in the period the claim is incurred.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs directly associated with obtaining debt financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt agreement using the straight line approach or the effective interest method for the revolving line of credit and term debt, respectively. Unamortized amounts related to long-term debt are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of the related long-term debt liability.

Non-Controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of assets and liabilities in a consolidated subsidiary owned by a third party. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 14, Shareholders’ Equity, for additional discussion regarding non-controlling interests.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized based on the transaction price, which is determined based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer that the Company expects to be entitled to, excluding any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, as services are time-and-materials based and amounts collected may be less than amounts billed due to implicit price concessions. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a performance obligation to a customer, which occurs over time as the service is performed. Determining the method and amount of revenue to recognize requires judgment by management. Judgments include determining whether the Company is the principal or agent with respect to performance obligations. If the Company determines it is the principal, it records revenues on a gross basis and if the Company determines it is the agent, it records revenue at the net amount that it retains for its service. The Company is the principal if it controls the service prior to it being transferred to the client. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. See Note 4, Revenue, for further information.

Cost of Services

We incur direct care wages, payroll taxes and benefit-related costs in connection with providing our services. We also provide workers’ compensation coverage for our employees. Employees are also reimbursed for their travel time and related travel costs in certain instances.

Advertising Cost

The Company expenses the costs of advertising and promotions as incurred and reports these costs in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs represent print, registration fees and trade, online and other advertising costs. Advertising and promotional expenses totaled approximately $43,000 and $52,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Gross Receipts Tax

The Company is subject to gross receipts tax in various states. The gross receipts tax is included as an expense within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Gross receipts taxes were $1.8 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code as a consolidated entity. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, each shareholder is liable for individual federal and state income taxes on the Company’s taxable income.

Deferred Transaction Costs

Deferred transaction costs consist of direct incremental legal, consulting and accounting fees relating to the merger transaction, as discussed in Note 1, Description of Business, which are capitalized and will be recorded as a reduction to the issuance of equity arising from the consummation of the merger transaction. In the event the merger transaction is terminated, deferred transaction costs will be expensed. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred such costs amounting to $0.3 million, which are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. No such costs were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 15, Subsequent Events, for more details on the Business Combination.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has identified five operating segments and three reportable segments, Agency With Choice (“AWC”), Fiscal/Employer Agent (“F/EA”), and Agency-Based Traditional (“ABT”).

In the AWC segment, the consumer serves as the managing employer to select, train, and dismiss care providers, while the Company serves as the employer of record and assists directly in the provision of care and training of care providers. This segment is also referred to as a co-employment model. In the F/EA segment, the consumer is the legal employer, and the Company is contracted primarily by state Medicaid agencies or managed care organizations to process payroll, to fund and distribute paychecks, and to administer the setup of the consumer as the legal employer. Under the ABT segment, the Company is the legal and managing employer of the care providers responsible for recruiting, hiring, managing, and dismissing care providers on behalf of clients, while the consumer may choose to interview and select care providers from the pool of potential care providers employed by the Company.

Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the business, makes resource allocation decisions, and assesses performance. The CODM, who is the Chief Executive Officer, uses gross profit as the primary profit measure to manage the business. See Note 10, Segments, for additional information on the Company’s segments.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable, reflecting the entity’s own assumptions about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants; however, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Debt includes the following instruments: Revolving line of credit, Commercial loan, Financing agreement, Paycheck Protection Program

 

F-75


Table of Contents

(“PPP”) loan, Shareholder notes and VIE Promissory Notes. Due to the variable nature and recent transaction dates of the Company’s debt instruments, the carrying value of the debt approximates the fair value of the debt using Level 2 inputs as defined under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU, including all the related amendments subsequent to its issuance, will supersede the current guidance for lease accounting. Lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of the lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This ASU increases transparency in financial reporting by requiring business entities to disclose in notes to their financial statements information about certain types of government assistance. This ASU requires the following annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance, such as a grant model within FASB ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, or International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance: (1) information regarding the nature of the transactions and the method applied to account for the government assistance; (2) line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by government assistance and applicable amounts; and (3) significant terms and conditions of the agreement, including commitments and contingencies. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and should be applied either (1) prospectively to all transactions with a government accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application, or (2) retrospectively to those transactions. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and subsequently issued several supplemental ASUs (collectively, “ASC 326”). This ASU requires entities to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss for most financial assets, including trade and other receivables, other long-term financings including available for sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, and loans. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amended the scope of ASC 326 and clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the standard and should continue to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. This ASU will be effective for us on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. COVID-19 Pandemic

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we promptly convened a cross-functional COVID-19 task force comprised of the Company’s leaders to communicate with our employees concerning best practices and changes in Company policies and procedures. To mitigate the effects of the virus, the Company implemented a remote-work policy for administrative and support staff and distributed personal protective equipment for care providers across the country, who have continued to serve consumers throughout the pandemic.

ARPA Spending Plans

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”), which became law on March 11, 2021, provides for local, territorial, and Tribal governments to mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Additionally, the law provides for a 10-percentage point increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid home and community based services (“HCBS”) from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, provided the state satisfied certain conditions. States are permitted to use the state funds equivalent to the additional federal funds through March 31, 2025. States must use the monies attributable to this matching fund increase to supplement, not supplant, their level of state spending for the implementation of activities enhanced under the Medicaid HCBS in effect as of April 1, 2021.

For certain states, the Company must implement efforts and expend funds primarily for the further recruitment, retention and training of care providers and funds may be subject to recoupment if not expended or are expended on non-approved uses. In addition, the Company is required to properly and fully document the use of such funds in reports to the state in which the funds originated. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received state funding provided by the ARPA in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million. The Company recognized $0.3 million as other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2021. The remaining $0.7 million of ARPA funds are recorded in other current liabilities as of December 31, 2021.

CARES Act

In response to COVID-19, the U.S. Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) on March 27, 2020. Through the CARES Act, payments were authorized through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (“Provider Relief Fund” or “PRF”) for distribution to eligible providers who provided diagnoses, testing, or care for individuals with a possible or actual case of COVID-19, specifically to reimburse providers for healthcare related expenses related to the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, preparations for treating cases of COVID-19 positive patients, and for lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. The Company applied for and received a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan through the PPP in the amount of $10.0 million. See Note 8, Debt, for further discussion.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company received grants in an aggregate principal amount of $5.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively, from the Provider Relief Fund, for which we had previously applied. These grants are recorded in Other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. Commercial organizations that receive and expend annual total awards of $750,000 or more in federal funding, including payments received through the Provider Relief Fund, are subject to federal audit requirements.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ interpretation of the underlying terms and conditions of such PRF payments, including auditing and reporting requirements, continues to evolve. Additional guidance or new and amended interpretations of existing guidance on the terms and conditions of such PRF payments may result in changes in the Company’s estimate of amounts for which the terms and conditions are reasonably assured of being met, and any such changes may be material. Additionally, any such changes may result in the Company’s inability to recognize additional PRF payments or may result in the derecognition of amounts previously recognized, which may be material.

4. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:

 

   

Identify the contract with a customer

 

   

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Determine the transaction price

 

F-77


Table of Contents
   

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of in-home care and related services to customers. The Company’s customers include individual consumers as well as managed care organizations and state government agencies (“Payors”) across the United States. All of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time. The following is a description of principal activities – separated by reportable segments – from which the Company generates its revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 10, Segments.

Agency With Choice

Under the AWC, or co-employment, model, the Company provides in-home care services to consumers through its employee network of care providers under guidelines agreed to with state government agencies and managed care organizations. The Company contracts directly with the recipient of the in-home care services (i.e., the consumer) and is the employer of record for each of the care providers. The Company actively recruits new care providers and performs all required pre-employment screening activities, such as, but not limited to, performing background checks and delivering training, prior to hiring each care providers and approving them to provide care services to consumers. The consumer acts as a “managing employer” and provides day-to-day oversight of the care providers as services are performed in accordance with the consumer’s care plan, which outlines the allowable services under Medicaid; however, the Company maintains the responsibility to evaluate workplace health and safety conditions, monitor delivery of care, address service issues and customer complaints, and continuously reassess a care provider’s employment status, maintaining the sole right to terminate a care provider for any reason at any time. Since the Company’s employees deliver the service and the Company has the ability to direct its employees in the performance of its service, the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the care services to the consumer. In addition, due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, the Company pays its employees through payroll on a regular basis prior to receiving payment for services rendered from a Payor, such as the state government agency or managed care organization, who pays consideration to the Company on behalf of the consumer. Though, in certain cases, the consumer may be responsible to pay for a component of the service, which is referred to as a co-payment. The Company maintains the authority to set the payroll rates paid to its care providers. As such, the Company controls the care service and presents revenue as it satisfies its performance obligation to provide the care services on a gross basis as a principal. Further, though the tasks performed on a daily basis may change, each hour of in-home care services is substantially the same and the consumer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as services are provided. As such, the Company’s single performance obligation under its AWC in-home care service contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods.

As the services are time-and-materials based, the fees represent variable consideration. The Company receives a single rate per increment of time of service rendered and such rates are either negotiated between the Company and the Payor or set through government regulations applicable to the jurisdiction in which the services are delivered. As the Company’s single performance obligation within its AWC customer contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods and the transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed. The uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on an hourly basis as the Company satisfies its obligation to perform in-home care services, because the variable payments specifically relate to transferring the distinct service that is part of a series of distinct services (i.e., the hourly in-home care service), and the variable amount relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy that distinct hour of in-home care service.

Fiscal/Employer Agent

Under the F/EA model, the Company provides care management administrative services, which include payroll, billing and other administrative services, such as tax withholding, service-request processing, and other services,

 

F-78


Table of Contents

to state government agencies, managed care organizations, and individual consumers. As the care management administrative services allow for transaction processing, such as processing of service requests, and payroll, the nature of the Company’s promise is an obligation of standing ready to perform the services. There is no limit to the number of transactions that can be processed nor does the quantity of transactions available to be processed diminish over time. There is not a substantial amount of uncertainty as to whether the transactions will occur, only an uncertainty as to the number of transactions that will be processed. In addition, there is no uncertainty in the Company’s obligation to make the services available each month. The Company is standing ready to provide the care management administrative services. As such, the Company’s obligation represents a single promise and is a single performance obligation. Though the types of transactions processed on a monthly basis may change, each month of care management administrative services is substantially the same and the consumer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as services are provided. The Company’s single performance obligation under its F/EA care management administrative service contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods.

In these arrangements, the Company receives a per member per month (“PMPM”) fee in return for performing its payroll, billing, and other administrative services on an on-going basis as well as reimbursements for payroll amounts remitted by the Company to care providers. Under the FE/A model, care providers are non-employee third parties. Consumers are the employer of record, oversee the care providers, negotiate wages, and hold sole authority to terminate the providers’ employment. The Company is not primarily responsible for providing the care services and takes no responsibility for such services, and therefore does not control the care services provided by the care providers. The consumer and provider contract directly with each other, and the Company is not a party to those agreements. Accordingly, the Company presents revenue on a net basis, as an agent, with regard to the payroll fees collected from customers as reimbursement for amounts paid to the third-party care providers. For its care management administrative services, the Company presents revenue on a gross basis as a principal as the Company controls the services and no third-party is involved in the delivery of these services. In addition, PMPM fees represent variable consideration as the number of members may change on a monthly basis. As the Company’s single performance obligation within its F/EA customer contracts is comprised of a series of distinct service periods and the transaction price is comprised of variable consideration, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed. The uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on a monthly basis as the Company satisfies its obligation to perform care management administrative services, because the variable payments specifically relate to transferring the distinct service that is part of a series of distinct services, and the variable amount relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy that distinct month of care management administrative service.

Agency-Based Traditional

Under the ABT model, the Company, through its internal employees, provides in-home care to individuals through contracts with federal agencies, managed care organizations, or directly with individuals on a time-and-materials basis. Such contracts relate to a specified episode of care and are typically short term. The length of each episode of care represents the period in which the Company has enforceable rights and obligations. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single specified in-home care service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments, such as hours or days, of service. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Similar to the performance obligations within the Company’s AWC and F/EA contracts, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.

Other

The Company provides other services to customers, including the following:

 

F-79


Table of Contents

Support Broker Services (“SBS”)

The Company provides customers with advisory and support services over an agreed upon contract term to an individual receiving self-directed care services, or their representative. Each contract contains a single performance obligation to provide the requested service. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single advisory or support service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments, such as hours, of service. As the services are time-and-materials based, related fees represent variable consideration. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Similar to the performance obligations within the Company’s AWC, F/EA, and ABT contracts, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.

Support Service Training (“TRN”)

The Company provides training to care providers of state government agencies. Revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the Company performs. Each contract contains a single performance obligation to provide the requested service. The Company’s performance obligation represents the delivery of a single training service, which is comprised of a series of distinct time increments, such as hours, or units of service. As the services are time-and-materials based, related fees represent variable consideration. Similar to the Company’s other performance obligations, the Company allocates the variable amounts to each distinct service period within the series and recognizes revenue as each distinct service period is performed.

Performance Obligations

The Company’s contracts include a single performance obligation. In satisfying the performance obligation within each contract, the Company may receive payment from the following sources: (i) state government agencies, (ii) Medicaid programs, (iii) managed care organization, (iv) commercial insurers, and (v) individual patients. Services are typically billed on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and payments are due from customers based on contracted terms, typically within two months or less.

Variable Consideration

Amounts collected from all sources may be less than amounts billed due to implicit price concessions, resulting from client eligibility issues, insufficient or incomplete documentation, unauthorized services, and other reasons unrelated to credit risk. Such price concessions represent variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the expected value based on its assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and a review of specific transactions, historical experience, market and economic conditions, trends in federal, state and private employer health care coverage and other collection indicators. There were no significant reversals of revenue due to change in estimates or material changes in variable consideration or the constraint on variable consideration between the periods presented.

In addition, substantially all Company revenue is derived from Medicaid reimbursement programs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The laws and regulations governing the Medicaid programs are extensive and are subject to interpretation. While this revenue is not based on any type of cost adjustment basis involving retroactive adjustments, the programs are subject to audit, and recovery efforts may be implemented by the state if violations of program rules have occurred. The Company is aware the potential for recovery exists for any Medicaid provider. The Company adjusts its estimates of variable consideration for potential recoveries that may exist.

The Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity not to recognize a significant financing component if the time between the transfer of a good or service and payment is one year or less. The Company

does not enter into contracts in which the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer is greater than 12 months. In addition, the Company excludes from revenue sales taxes and other government-assessed and imposed taxes on revenue-generating activities that are invoiced to customers.

The Company also applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Costs to Fulfill a Contract

In November 2019, the Company entered into a contract in the State of Washington to provide services under the AWC model. The contract has an initial seven-year term from the date that operations begin. In the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred costs to fulfill the contract. These costs consisted of labor, insurance premiums, supplies, interest expense on incremental borrowings from the Company’s line of credit, and rent expense incurred on leased building for employees performing setup activities.

The costs to fulfill the Washington contract totaled $11.0 million, enhance the resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered. Therefore, the Company capitalized these costs, which are reflected in fulfillment cost asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The total amounts capitalized are $10.1 million and $1.0 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Capitalized contract fulfillment costs will be amortized based on the transfer of services to which the assets relate, which is estimated to be seven years, and are included in cost of services. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not yet begin transferring services to which the capitalized fulfillment costs relate and there was no amortization in 2021 or 2020. In addition, there was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized.

5. Variable Interest Entities

Although the Company does not have an equity interest in Arizuma Holdings, LLC (“Arizuma”), 607 Southwest Higgins, LLC (“607 Southwest”), or Consumer Direct Grant Creek Campus, LLC (“CD Grant”), the Company has provided a financial guarantee on each of the respective debt arrangements used to finance each of these entities. Additionally, the shareholders of the aforementioned entities are also the majority shareholders of the Company, and thus Arizuma, 607 Southwest, CD Grant and the Company are determined to be entities under common control. Based on these factors, the Company has determined that it possesses an implicit variable interest in Arizuma, 607 Southwest, and CD Grant. The financial guarantees expose the Company to an obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs that would be more than insignificant for the VIEs due to the legal entities’ lack of other operational business activities. Furthermore, the Company determined that the Arizuma, 607 Southwest and CD Grant individual total equity investments are not sufficient to finance each company’s activity without additional subordinated financing resulting in each of these entities being considered a VIE.

Arizuma, 607 Southwest, CD Grant each hold a single real estate asset leased to one of the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition, through each of the leasing arrangements with the VIEs, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary because it has power to direct the significant activities of the VIEs, which include operations and maintenance of the properties and has economic exposure as the risk of loss is shared amongst the group as the debt that financed the underlying leased assets is guaranteed by the Company. As a result, Arizuma, 607 Southwest, and CD Grant (collectively the “Consolidated VIEs”) are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements and all intercompany balances and transactions between the parties have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Consolidated VIEs’ primary assets include property and equipment and primary liabilities included in Promissory Notes. Total assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets for the Consolidated

VIEs were $20.1 million and $23.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 and $20.8 million and $24.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

Revolving Line of Credit – Related Party

In July 2020, the Company established a revolving line of credit with Bank of Montana, a related party as further described in Note 13, Related Parties, which provided a maximum committed amount of $15.0 million. In December 2020, the maximum commitment limit on the revolving line of credit was increased twice, first to $17.5 million and later to $30.0 million. In April 2021, the maximum commitment limit on the revolving line of credit was increased to $33.0 million. In September 2021, the maximum commitment limit on the revolving line of credit was increased to $45.0 million, which represents the maximum commitment limit as of December 31, 2021. In addition, the revolving line of credit agreement generally limits borrowing to a factor of accounts receivable outstanding at any given time, up to the maximum commitment limit.

The revolving line of credit interest rate is stated at prime, as published by the Wall Street Journal, plus 3.24%, but at no time less than 6.49% (6.49% at December 31, 2021). The revolving line of credit is secured by accounts receivable, equipment and the personal guarantees of the Company’s shareholders.

The balance outstanding on this revolving line of credit was $30.8 million net of unamortized loan fees of $1.1 million and $17.7 million, net of unamortized loan fees of $1.1 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee equal to 0.375% of the maximum commitment limit amount on the first day of each calendar quarter. Unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable in full at the line of credit maturity date.

The Company uses the advances from the revolving line of credit to provide funds to subsidiaries. Additionally, the funds of subsidiaries are used to make repayments on the revolving line of credit. These transactions are reflected on the subsidiary’s financial statements as Due from Affiliate and Due to Affiliate for fund transfers with the Company. All advances and repayments on the revolving line of credit are reported on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Direct and incremental fees and costs incurred associated with the issuance of the revolving line of credit and subsequent increases to the maximum commitment limit have been capitalized and are being amortized through the line of credit maturity date, currently July 1, 2024.

Table of Contents

The revolving line of credit agreement states the Company will not (a) increase, or change in any beneficial way to the recipient, the current compensation for services, including all salaries, bonuses, incentives, loans or other consideration to: any of the individual guarantors, regardless of capacity, or any affiliate or immediate family members of the foregoing, or (b) pay or make dividends or distributions, of cash or otherwise, or make a loan or provide other consideration to any of the individual guarantors, regardless of capacity, or any affiliate or immediate family member of any of the individual guarantors, that in total exceeds $750,000 during any calendar year, provided however, the forgoing $750,000 shall not include dividends or distributions paid in amounts reasonably necessary to cover the income tax liability directly associated with the ownership of the Company. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company directed KEF to advance the disbursements to the service provider based on the respective disbursement dates as set forth in the Financing Agreement, on the Company’s behalf and in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation under the MSA.

On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a New Financing Agreement (“KEF Financing Agreement”) with KEF that replaced the Financing Agreement with disbursements used to satisfy the Company’s obligation with the service provider under the MSA. Under the New Financing Agreement, the Company will finance a total amount of $9.5 million which will be payable in nine monthly installments of $0.3 million commencing on March 30, 2021 and thirteen monthly installments of $0.6 million commencing on January 30, 2022. The New Financing Agreement is secured by a security interest in the licenses granted under the MSA.

PPP Loan – Related Party

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent legislation passed within the CARES Act of 2020, the Company applied for and received an SBA loan through the PPP. On April 5, 2020, a loan in the amount of $10.0 million was granted to the Company under the PPP program, which was funded by Bank of Montana. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum. The PPP loan is to be used primarily for payroll-related costs, lease, and utility payments.

The PPP loan matures on April 5, 2025. The Company has applied for forgiveness of the PPP loan.

10. Segments

The CODM views the Company as five operating segments and allocates resources and makes decisions based on the gross profit of each of these operating segments of the Company. Based on the operations of the business, the decision-making process, and the criteria for assessing performance outlined by ASC Topic 280, Segments (“ASC 280”), the Company concluded that reporting separate information about the operating segments Support Broker Services and Support Service Training does not enhance the financial statement users’ understanding of the business. The Company has concluded that, using the quantitative thresholds established by ASC 280, for reporting purposes the operating segments Support Broker Services and Support Service Training may be combined in an “Other” category. As a result, the Company has three reportable segments and an “Other” category.

The tables below set forth information about the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the gross profit of each reportable segment, which includes net service revenue directly attributable to the specific segment and all costs of service directly attributable to the specific segment, excluding depreciation and amortization, administrative expenses, and all indirect corporate expenses. Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s CODM and therefore are not disclosed in the tables below (in thousands):

11. Retirement Plan

The Company offers a 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees who have completed 90 days of employment. Under the provisions of the 401(k) plan, employees may elect to defer pre-tax amounts to the plan up to 100% of their annual compensation, not to exceed the annual limitations set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company match for this plan is at the discretion of the Board of Directors each year. No matching contributions were made for the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal and administrative proceedings arising out of the operation of our programs in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such contingencies to the extent it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe the ultimate liability, if any, for outstanding proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of amounts already provided, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is reasonably possible an adverse determination might have an impact on a particular period. The Company believes the provision for legal contingencies is adequate, the outcome of legal proceedings is difficult to predict and the Company may settle legal claims or be subject to judgments for amounts that exceed estimates.

Government Regulations

The health care industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to matters such as licensure, accreditation, government health care program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Recently, government activity has increased with regard to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by health care providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government health care programs, as well as the imposition of significant fines and penalties and repayments for patient services previously billed. Management is unaware of any fraud or violation of laws and regulations related to Medicaid patient services.

Third-Party Audits and Revenue

Substantially all Company revenue is derived from Medicaid reimbursement programs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The laws and regulations governing the Medicaid programs are extensive and are subject to interpretation. While this revenue is not based on any type of cost adjustment basis involving retroactive adjustments, the programs are subject to audit, and recovery efforts may be implemented by the state if violations of program rules have occurred. The Company is aware the potential for recovery exists for any Medicaid provider.

Insurance and Claims

The Company purchases professional and general liability insurance plus umbrella coverage to cover medical malpractice and general liability claims. Claims from unknown incidents may yet be asserted in the future arising from services provided from the date of inception to December 31, 2021.

13. Related Parties

Related Party Debt

The Company’s shareholders own a material interest in Bank Corp of Montana, the holding company of Bank of Montana. As a result, Bank of Montana is a related party. See Note 8, Debt, for details on the Revolving Line of Credit and PPP Loan.

14. Shareholders’ Equity

Common Shares

The Company has one class of common stock and is authorized to issue 50,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 3,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Non-Controlling Interests

In March of 2019, the Company, together with Home Care Worker Purpose Trust (“HCT”), a Delaware Noncharitable Purpose Trust, formed a joint venture in Consumer Direct Care Washington, LLC (“CDWA”). The Company owns 80% of CDWA and HCT owns the remaining 20%. The Company consolidates CDWA based on control, with the remaining 20% interest accounted for as non-controlling interests. No contributions were received from non-controlling interests for the year ending December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020, CDWA received contributions from non-controlling interests of $0.2 million.

Non-Controlling interest also includes 100% of the Consolidated VIEs as the Company does not have an equity interest in those entities. See Note 5, Variable Interest Entities, for more details.

15. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through October 19, 2022, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

SPAC shall postpone or adjourn such meeting on each and every occasion if (x) a postponement or adjournment is required by Law, (y) as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Registration Statement) there are insufficient shares of SPAC Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to approve the SPAC Stockholder Matters or to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Special Meeting, or (z) SPAC or the Company determines the payments for the SPAC Stockholder Redemption could reasonably be expected to cause the conditions in Section 9.01 to not be satisfied at the Closing; provided, however, in no event shall SPAC be required to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting more than six weeks from the initial date of the Special Meeting set forth in the Registration Statement. SPAC shall, following the Proxy Clearance Date, use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the SPAC Stockholder Matters and shall include in the Registration Statement the SPAC Board Recommendation. SPAC shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding all matters relating to the SPAC Stockholder Matters and the Special Meeting, including by promptly furnishing any voting or proxy solicitation reports received by SPAC in respect of such matters and similar updates regarding any redemptions.

SPAC shall immediately notify the Company in writing of any determination to make such Change in Recommendation. SPAC agrees that its obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation and, for the avoidance of doubt, it agrees (A) that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the SPAC Stockholder Matters shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation or other intervening event or circumstance and (B) to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the SPAC Stockholder Matters, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of any Change in Recommendation or other intervening event or circumstance. Notwithstanding the fact that the Required Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained, the Company Board Recommendation may, at any time prior to the Closing, be withdrawn in the event the board of directors of the Company determines, in its sole discretion (and taking into account only the interests of the Pre-Closing Holders (taken as a whole)), such withdrawal is in the best interest of the Pre-Closing Holders (such withdrawal of the Company Board Recommendation being referred to herein as a “Company Board Recommendation Withdrawal”).

(c) Required SPAC Stockholder Approval. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and 9.02, SPAC shall use reasonable best efforts to consummate and make effective the Transactions within three Business Days following receipt of the Required SPAC Stockholder Approval.

If the SEC requests or requires a legal opinion to be filed with the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, SPAC shall cause such opinion to be issued.

All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne and paid by the Company, with such payments being treated as a Credited Expense. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person or take any other reasonable action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax that could be imposed in connection with the Transactions.

The filing party shall provide the other Parties with (i) a copy of each such Tax Return within three Business Days after filing such Tax Return with the appropriate Governmental Authority and (ii) evidence of filing for each such Tax Return and of payment of such Transfer Taxes within three Business Days after receipt of such evidence.

(c) Prior to the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, the Company agrees, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their Representatives, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth therein) as may be reasonably requested by SPAC, including by (i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies at mutually agreeable times and locations and upon reasonable advance notice, (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials for actual and potential PIPE Investors and Debt Financing Sources, rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Financing (which shall not include pro forma financial information), (iii) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates, or documents as may be reasonably requested by SPAC or otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral, provided, that, such documents will not take effect until the Closing and are reasonably acceptable to the Company, (iv) providing the Financial Statements and such other financial information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries that is readily available or within the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession and as is reasonably requested in connection with the Financing, (v) at the Company’s option, taking or appointing a representative of SPAC to take all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by SPAC to permit the consummation of the Financing and, in the case of the Debt Financing, the direct borrowing or incurrence of all of the proceeds of the Debt Financing, by the Company or a Subsidiary immediately following the Closing, (vi) the Company and each Subsidiary executing and delivering reasonable and customary certificates (including a customary certificate of the Chief

This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), the Transaction Agreements (together with the Schedules and Exhibits thereto) and the Amended and Restated Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2021, by and between the Company and SPAC (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the Transactions and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Transactions.

Subject to the rights of any holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences, and rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, of each such series of Preferred Stock, including without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The Board is further authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, the number of which was fixed by it, subsequent to the issue of shares of such series then outstanding, subject to the powers, preferences, and rights and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof stated in the resolution of the board of directors originally fixing the number of shares of such series. If the number of shares of any series is so decreased, then the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

ARTICLE V

The existence of this Company is to be perpetual.

ARTICLE VI

The private property of the stockholders shall not be subject to the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever.

ARTICLE VII

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the board of directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the corporation, to fix reserves, and to authorize and cause to be executed, mortgages and liens, without limit as to the amount, upon the property and franchises of the corporation.

ARTICLE VIII

The number of directors of the corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the directors. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless otherwise provided in the bylaws of the corporation. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.

The directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. The board of directors is authorized to assign members of the board of directors already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification of the board of directors, the initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification of the board of directors, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification of the board of directors, the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. No stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes.

ARTICLE IX

Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the bylaws of the corporation may provide. The books of the corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors or in the bylaws of the corporation.

ARTICLE X

No contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board of directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such director’s votes are counted for such purpose, if: (a) the material facts as to such director’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or the committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum, or (b) the material facts as to such director’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders, or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

ARTICLE XI

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended from time to time, neither a director nor an officer of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer (as applicable) of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

The corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any director or executive officer of the corporation entitled to indemnification under the DGCL who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. The corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person only if the Proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation.

The corporation shall have the power to indemnify, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time, any employee or agent of the corporation who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.

Neither any amendment nor repeal of this ARTICLE XI, nor the adoption of any provision of this amended and restated certificate of incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE XI, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE XI in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim accruing or arising or that, but for this ARTICLE XI, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE XII

Except as provided in ARTICLE XI above, the corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE XIII

Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner of stock) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or claim based on, breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any director, officer, or other employee of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders (including a beneficial owner of stock), (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or

(iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim against the corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine; provided that the exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Section 2.6    Quorum. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

Section 2.7    Adjourned Meeting; Notice. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

All elections of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast (with stockholders not permitted to vote against a nominee), and except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and, unless otherwise required by law, need not be conducted by an inspector of election unless so determined by the holders of the shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person at such meeting.

Section 2.10    Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need to be specified in any written waiver of notice, or any waiver by electronic transmission, unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

Section 2.11    Record Date. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action.

If the board of directors does not so fix a record date:

(a)    the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;

Table of Contents

(b)    the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent (including consent by electronic mail or other electronic transmission as permitted by law) is delivered to the corporation; and

(c)    the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.12    Nominations and Proposals for Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(a)    Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who (A) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section and at the time of the annual meeting, (B) is entitled to vote with respect to such matter at the meeting, and (C) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section. At any annual meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer of such meeting may announce the nominations and other business to be considered which are set forth in the corporation’s notice of meeting and proxy statement and, by virtue thereof, such nominations and other business so announced shall be properly brought before such meeting and may be considered and voted upon by the stockholders of the corporation entitled to vote without further requirement of nomination, motion, or second.

(b)    For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the stockholder making such nominations or proposing such other business must have given timely notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 90th day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting or (y) the 10th day following the day on which the public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must:

(1)    set forth, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (A) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, (B) the class or series and number of shares of the corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner as of the date of such notice, including all shares as to which such stockholder or beneficial owner has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (which information shall be supplemented by such stockholder and beneficial owner not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), (C) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), (D) a representation that such

(2)    if the notice relates to any business other than the nomination of a director that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting (including the text of any proposal or resolution), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in such business (including any anticipated benefit), and (B) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder;

(3)    set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (A) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (B) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with such stockholder or beneficial owner, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with such nominee, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any Affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and

(4)    with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the board of directors, include the completed and signed questionnaire, representation, and agreement required by paragraph (d) below. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required

Table of Contents

by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors of the corporation at an annual meeting is increased, whether by increase in the size of the board of directors, or by any vacancy in the board of directors to be filled at such annual meeting, and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming all of the nominees for directors or specifying the size of the increased board of directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any such vacant positions and for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

(d)    To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under paragraphs (b) and (c) above) to the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation a completed, written and signed questionnaire (in the form customarily used by the corporation for its directors) with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the secretary upon written request) that such person:

(1)    is not and will not become a party to (A) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the corporation or (B) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such persons’ ability to comply, if elected as a director of the corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law;

(2)    is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein; and

(3)    in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the corporation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section. This Section shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business at a meeting; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision thereof) and, to the extent required by such rule, have such proposals considered and voted on at an annual meeting. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with the bylaws, to declare that such proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded, or that such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination or such business may have been solicited or received.

Section 2.13    List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address (but not the electronic address or other electronic contact information) of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting (i) during ordinary business hours, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held or (ii) in the sole determination of the corporation, by a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting. If the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is only available to the stockholders. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

Section 2.14    Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, facsimile, electronic or telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may remain irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.

Section 2.15    Action Without A Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by this article to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is (a) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and (b) delivered to the corporation in accordance with the DGCL. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the date the earliest dated consent is delivered to the corporation, a written consent or consents signed by enough holders to take action are delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed in this Section.

shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors.

Section 3.2    Number of Directors. The board of directors shall consist of one or more members, the number to be determined from time to time by resolution of the board of directors.

Section 3.3    Election, Qualification, and Term of Office of Directors. Directors need not be stockholders. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. The board of directors is authorized to assign members of the board of directors already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification of the board of directors, the initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification of the board of directors, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification of the board of directors, the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. No stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes.

Section 3.4    Resignation and Vacancies. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the attention of the secretary of the corporation. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this section in the filling of other vacancies.

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws:

(a)    Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

(b)    Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, the term of office, filling of vacancies, removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series.

If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer of the corporation may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election. In the event of a vacancy in the board of directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full board of directors until such vacancy is filled.

Section 3.5    Place of Meetings. The board of directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the board of directors, or any committee designated by the board of directors, may participate in a meeting of the board of directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone, video, or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 3.6    Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the board.

Section 3.7    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer, the secretary or any two (2) directors. Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be: delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone; sent by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid; or sent by electronic mail, in each case directed to each director at that director’s address, telephone number, or electronic mail address, as the case may be, as shown on the corporation’s records. If the notice is delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, or sent by electronic mail, it shall be delivered or sent at least 48 hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by United States mail, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least 4 days before the time of the holding of the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the corporation’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.

Section 3.8    Quorum. At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the authorized number of directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the board of directors, then the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

Section 3.9    Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor other purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or a committee of directors, need to be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

Section 3.10    Board Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission.

Section 3.11    Fees and Compensation of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

Section 3.12    Removal of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed as provided in Section 141(k) of the DGCL as in effect on the date of adoption of these bylaws. At least 30 days prior to any meeting of stockholders at which it is proposed that any director be removed from office, written notice of such proposed removal shall be sent to the director whose removal will be considered at the meeting. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of such director’s term of office.

The board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors or in the bylaws of the corporation, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt any action or matter the DGCL expressly requires be submitted to the stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend, or repeal the bylaws.

Section 4.2    Committee Minutes. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors when required.

Section 5.4    Removal and Resignation of Officers. Subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment, any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by an affirmative vote of the majority of the board of directors at any regular or special meeting of the board or, except in the case of an officer chosen by the board of directors, by any officer upon whom such power of removal may be conferred by the board of directors. Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the corporation. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice; and, unless otherwise specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

ARTICLE VI. INDEMNITY.

Section 6.1    Indemnification. Subject to the provisions of this Article, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer of the corporation entitled to indemnification under the DGCL, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. The corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with an action, suit, or proceeding initiated by such person only if the action, suit, or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation.

Section 6.2    Limitation on Indemnification. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding any other provision of this, no person shall be indemnified hereunder for any expenses or amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action to recover short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Section 6.3    Successful Defense. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 6.1 or 6.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Section 6.4    Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2, as applicable. Such determination shall be made (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, as a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation shall be entitled to contest any determination that the director, officer, employee, or agent has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 by petitioning a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 6.5    Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding, by an individual who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VI.

Section 6.6    Indemnity Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

Section 6.7    Insurance Indemnification. The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation, as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article.

Section 6.8    The Corporation. For purposes of this Article, references to the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors and officers, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under and subject to the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 6.9    Employee Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Article, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Article.

Section 6.10    Indemnification of Other Persons. The provisions of this Article shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not a director or officer of the corporation or is not serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the DGCL or otherwise. The corporation may, in its sole discretion, indemnify an employee, trustee, or other agent as permitted by the DGCL. The corporation shall indemnify an employee, trustee, or other agent where required by law.

Section 6.11    Continuation of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

Table of Contents

Section 6.12    Conflicts. No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:

(a)    That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of the action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

(b)    That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

ARTICLE VII. RECORDS AND REPORTS.

The corporation shall, either at its principal executive office or at such place or places as designated by the board of directors, keep a record of its stockholders listing their names and addresses and the number and class of shares held by each stockholder, a copy of these bylaws as amended to date, accounting books, and other records. Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent in the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent so to act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.

ARTICLE VIII. NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION.

Section 8.1    Notice by Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation, or the bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. A corporation may give a notice by electronic mail without obtaining the consent noted herein. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that: the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation; and such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice. However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(1)    by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(2)    if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(3)    if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(4)    if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Table of Contents

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 8.2    Definition of Electronic Transmission. An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

Section 8.3    Inapplicability. Notice by a form of electronic transmission shall not apply when prohibited by the DGCL.

ARTICLE IX. GENERAL MATTERS.

Section 9.1    Checks. From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidence of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.

Section 9.2    Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments. The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

Section 9.3    Stock Certificates. Shares of the corporation’s stock may be certificated or uncertificated, as provided under Delaware law, and shall be entered in the books of the corporation and registered as they are issued.

Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

Section 9.4    Special Designation on Certificates. If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional, or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests

Section 9.6    Construction; Definitions. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term “person” includes both a corporation and a natural person.

Section 9.7    Dividends. The directors of the corporation, subject to any restrictions contained in (i) the DGCL or (ii) the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock at any regular or special meeting. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporation’s capital stock.

Section 3.2    Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental fees and selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, placement agent fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

Section 3.3    Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

Section 3.4    Suspension of Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to (a) delay or postpone the (i) initial effectiveness of any Registration Statement or (ii) launch of any Underwritten Offering, in each case, filed or requested pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) from time to time to require the Holders not to sell under any Registration Statement or Prospectus or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Board reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement or Prospectus would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement or Prospectus to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Underwritten Offering on more than two occasions, for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of a Suspension Event while a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event a Misstatement exists, each Holder agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of Registrable Securities under each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement until the Holder receives copies of a supplemental or amended Prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the relevant misstatements or omissions and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Holders will deliver to the Company or, in Holders’ sole discretion destroy, all copies of each Prospectus covering Registrable Securities in Holders’ possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy shall not apply (A) to the extent the Holders are required to retain a copy of such Prospectus (x) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

Section 3.5    Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions, until such time as such Holder is eligible to sell such securities under Rule 144 without limitation.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 4.1    Indemnification.

4.1.1    The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use therein.

4.1.2    In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Holder so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

4.1.3    Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

D-12


Table of Contents

4.1.4    The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

4.1.5    If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of this Agreement, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.    Representations and Warranties. Sponsor represents and warrants to SPAC and the Company as follows:

(a)    Sponsor is duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the Laws of Delaware and has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties, rights and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. Sponsor is, and at all times has been, in compliance in all material respects with all its Organizational Documents. Any failure by Sponsor to be duly licensed or qualified or in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which its ownership of property or the character of its activities is such as to require it to be so licensed or qualified, except where failure to be so licensed or qualified would not reasonably be expected to materially impair Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b)    Sponsor has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized and approved by the manager of Sponsor and no other corporate or equivalent proceeding on the part of Sponsor is necessary to authorize this Agreement or Sponsor’s performance hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Sponsor and, assuming due authorization and execution by each other party hereto, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Sponsor enforceable against Sponsor in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

(c)    Sponsor is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in the Securities Act) of, and has good and marketable title to, all of Sponsor’s shares of SPAC Common Stock and all of Sponsor’s SPAC Warrants, and there exist no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote,

As of the date hereof, the Sponsor is the holder of record and the beneficial owner of 5,750,000 shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock and 11,200,000 SPAC Warrants, all of which are SPAC Private Placement Warrants, and such shares of SPAC Common Stock and SPAC Warrants are the only equity securities in SPAC owned of record or beneficially by Sponsor on the date of this Agreement. Other than the SPAC Warrants, Sponsor does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of SPAC or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of SPAC.

(d)    Sponsor has full voting power with respect to all of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities and full power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all Subject SPAC Equity Securities. None of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities are subject to any stockholders’ agreement, proxy, voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction of any kind or nature with respect to the voting of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities, except for the SPAC Organizational Documents and the Voting Letter Agreement.

(e)    The execution, delivery and performance by Sponsor of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) contravene or conflict with the Organizational Documents of Sponsor, (b) contravene or conflict with or constitute a violation of any provision of any Law or Governmental Order binding on or applicable to Sponsor or any of its properties or assets, (c) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination or acceleration of, or a right of termination, cancellation, modification, acceleration or amendment under, accelerate the performance required by, or result in the acceleration or trigger of any payment, posting of collateral (or right to require the posting of collateral), time of payment, vesting or increase in the amount of any compensation or benefit payable pursuant to, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which Sponsor is a party or by which any of its assets or properties may be bound or affected, or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any asset, property or Equity Security of Sponsor, including the Subject SPAC Equity Securities, except in the case of each of clauses (b) through (d) as would not reasonably be expected to materially impair Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(f)    There are no Actions pending against Sponsor or, to Sponsor’s knowledge, threatened against Sponsor or any of its properties, rights or assets which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay or impair the performance by Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g)    Except as described on Schedule 5.08 to the Merger Agreement, no broker, finder, financial advisor, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee, underwriting fee, deferred underwriting fee, commission or other similar payment in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by Sponsor, for which SPAC, Pubco or DTRT Merger Sub may become liable.

(h)    Except as set forth in the SPAC’s final prospectus, dated as of September 1, 2021 and filed with the SEC (File No. 333-258742) on September 3, 2021 and subsequently filed Schedule 13Gs, neither Sponsor nor, to the knowledge of Sponsor, any Person in which Sponsor has a direct or indirect legal, contractual or beneficial ownership of 5% or greater is party to, or has any rights with respect to or arising from, any Contract with SPAC or its Subsidiaries.

event such Person(s) and either SPAC or one or more of SPAC’s directors and officers are named, and continuously maintained, as defendants in a Third Party Claim (as defined below) (the “Sponsor Indemnified Parties”) from and against all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (“Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by the Sponsor Indemnified Parties, on or after the date of this Agreement, arising out of any third party action, cause of action, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry, arbitration or claim relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement which names a Sponsor Indemnified Party as a defendant (or co-defendant) arising from the Sponsor’s control of or ability to influence the business decisions of Pubco (including, but not limited to, the ability to appoint or nominate directors of Pubco) (a “Third Party Claim”); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent arising out of any breach by the Sponsor of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Sponsor, on the one hand, and Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, (ii) the willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud of such Sponsor Indemnified Party or (iii) actions (or omissions) that cannot be indemnified if taken (or omitted) by a director of Pubco in accordance with Pubco’s charter documents or applicable law.

(b)    Promptly after a Sponsor Indemnified Party believes that it has a claim for any Indemnified Liabilities, such Sponsor Indemnified Party shall notify Pubco and specify in such notice, in reasonable detail, the nature of the claim and an estimated computation of Indemnified Liabilities, as well as other material documents in possession of such Sponsor Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, provided, that any failure or delay by such Sponsor Indemnified Party to notify Pubco shall not relieve Pubco from its obligations hereunder (except to the extent that Pubco has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify). Pubco shall have full control of the defense of any claim with respect to the Indemnified Liabilities, including any compromise or settlement thereof, unless in such Sponsor Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Sponsor Indemnified Party and Pubco may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the Sponsor Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to Pubco (in which case, Pubco shall permit such Sponsor Indemnified Party to assume the control of the defense of any such claim and to employ separate counsel to represent it in any such claim) ; provided, that Pubco shall not consent to the entry of any order or enter into any settlement agreement without the prior written consent of such Sponsor Indemnified Party; provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if such order or settlement agreement contains a full and final release by the third party asserting the claim to such Sponsor Indemnified Party, and such order or settlement agreement does not contain any criminal liability or admission of guilt or impose any other non-monetary injunctive or equitable relief against such Sponsor Indemnified Party. Such Sponsor Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim, including by retaining and providing to Pubco all records and information which are reasonably relevant to such claim, making employees available to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder and executing any documents necessary in connection with any settlement or order entered into in compliance with this Section 8(b).

(c)    The Sponsor Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent it in any such claim with respect to Indemnified Liabilities and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of any such separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Sponsor Indemnified Party, unless such Sponsor Indemnified Party assumes the control of the defense of any such claims as permitted by Section 8(b), in which case Pubco will pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel.

(d)    The Sponsor Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Pubco in seeking insurance recoveries first in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) Sponsor makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Sponsor’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction expressly permitted under the Merger Agreement by any representative of Sponsor in such representative’s capacity as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of any SPAC Party or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of any SPAC Party or an Affiliate of SPAC, in each case, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of such SPAC Party.

11.    Further Assurances. From time to time, at the Company’s request and without further consideration, each Party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

12.    No Legal Action. Sponsor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to and shall direct its Representatives not to, bring, commence, institute, maintain, or prosecute any claim, appeal or proceeding which (a) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, or (b) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Sponsor breaches any duty that Sponsor has (or may be alleged to have) to SPAC or to the other stockholders of SPAC; provided that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict in any manner the rights of SPAC under the Merger Agreement or of Sponsor to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

13.    Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived if the waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any delay in exercising any right pursuant to this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right.

14.    Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service or (iv) when e-mailed during normal business hours (and otherwise as of the immediately following Business Day); provided that the notice or other communication is sent to the address or email address set forth in Section 11.02 of the Merger Agreement, and, if to a Sponsor, to Sponsor’s address or email address set forth on a signature page hereto, or to such other address or email address as a Party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to each other party hereto.

17.    Rights of Third Parties. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person, other than the Parties, any right or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

23.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

25.    Non-Recourse.

(b)    “Affiliate” means a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Person specified. An entity shall be deemed an Affiliate of the Company for purposes of this definition only for such periods as the requisite ownership or control relationship is maintained. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” or “under common control with”), as used with respect to any Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.

(ii)    the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of Directors then serving on the Board: individuals who, during any period of two (2) consecutive years, constitute the Board and any new Director (other than a Director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including, but not limited to, a consent solicitation, relating to the election of Directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who either were Directors at the beginning of the two (2) year period or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or

For each Award that constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Code Section 409A, a Change in Control (where applicable) for purposes of the payment timing of such Award shall be deemed to have occurred under the Plan with respect to such Award only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company also constitutes a “change in control event” under Code Section 409A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

The Administrator shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control, and any incidental matters relating thereto; provided, however, that any exercise of authority in conjunction with a determination of whether a Change in Control is a “change in control event” under Code Section 409A shall be consistent with such statutory provision and the regulations thereunder.

(k)    “Change in Control Price” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 12 of the Plan.

(l)    “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or any successor thereto. Any reference to a section of the Code shall be deemed to include a reference to any regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d)    All decisions made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or the Committee, or any officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, omission, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company and of any Subsidiary thereof acting on their behalf shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, omission, determination or interpretation.

Section 4.    Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the Plan and Limitations on Awards.

(a)    Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5 of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to deliver with respect to Awards granted under the Plan an aggregate of 8% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of [the Effective Date]. In addition, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5, such maximum number of shares of Common Stock will automatically increase on January 1st of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to 3% of the total number of shares of Stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding year; provided, however that the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Stock.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards granted during any fiscal year to any Non-Employee Director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such Non-Employee Director during the fiscal year with respect to such Director’s service as a Non-Employee Director, shall not exceed $500,000 (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date Fair Market Value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).

(c)    Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award under the Plan that, after the Effective Date, are forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of shares of Common Stock to a Participant will thereafter be deemed to be available for Awards. In applying the immediately preceding sentence, if (i) shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or issued in respect of, or as part of, any Award are withheld to cover taxes or any applicable Exercise Price, such shares shall be treated as having been issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) any Share-settled Stock Appreciation Rights or Options are exercised, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Appreciation Rights or Options shall be deemed issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. In addition, shares of Common Stock (x) tendered to exercise outstanding Options or other Awards, (y) withheld to cover applicable taxes on any Awards or (z) repurchased on the open market using Exercise Price proceeds shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) shares of Common Stock underlying Awards that are subject to the achievement of performance goals shall be counted against the share reserve based on the target value of such Awards unless and until such time as such Awards become vested and settled in shares of Common Stock, and (B) Awards that, pursuant to their terms, may be settled only in cash shall not count against the share reserve set forth in Section 4(a).

(d)    Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for grant under the Plan. In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or any Affiliate combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for grant under the Plan; provided, that Awards

using such available shares of Common Stock shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

(e)    In the event that the Company or an Affiliate thereof consummates a transaction described in Code Section 424(a) (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees or Directors in account of such transaction may be granted Substitute Awards in substitution for awards granted by their former employer, and any such substitute Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted with an Exercise Price less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date thereof; provided, however, the grant of such substitute Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall not constitute a “modification” as defined in Code Section 424(h)(3) and the applicable Treasury regulations.

Section 5.    Equitable Adjustments

In the event of any Change in Capitalization, including, without limitation, a Change in Control, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made, in each case, as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (a) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, (b) the kind, number and Exercise Price subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan; provided, however, that any such substitution or adjustment with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, (c) the kind, number and purchase price of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Restricted Shares or Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan, and (d) other terms and conditions of outstanding Awards (including the performance goals and/or performance periods of Awards), in each case as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Award granted hereunder (i) in exchange for payment in cash or other property having an aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by such Award, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price or purchase price thereof, if any, and (ii) with respect to any Awards for which the Exercise Price or purchase price per share of Common Stock is greater than or equal to the then current Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, for no consideration. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, any adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option due to an adjustment or substitution described in this Section 5 shall comply with the rules of Code Section 424(a), and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder to be disqualified as an incentive stock option for purposes of Code Section 422. The Administrator’s determinations pursuant to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 6.    Eligibility

The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among Eligible Recipients.

Section 7.    Options

(a)    General. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant Options to Participants. Solely with respect to Participants who are Employees, the Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options or a combination of both. With respect to all other Participants, the Administrator may grant only Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Participant who is granted an Option shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, which Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a

 

F-9


Table of Contents

Nonqualified Stock Option and shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option granted thereunder. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of an Option shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.

(b)    Limits on Incentive Stock Options. If the Administrator grants Incentive Stock Options, then to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options to the extent required by Code Section 422. Subject to Section 5, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options is 8% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of [the Effective Date].

(c)    Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of shares of Common Stock purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the Exercise Price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) shall have an Exercise Price per Share less than one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date.

(d)    Option Term. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but in no event shall (i) an Option be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, and (ii) an Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan (including, without limitation, Section 7(h)), if, on the date an outstanding Option would expire, the exercise of the Option, including by a “net exercise” or “cashless” exercise, would violate applicable securities laws or any insider trading policy maintained by the Company from time to time, the expiration date applicable to the Option will be extended, except to the extent such extension would violate Code Section 409A, to a date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date the exercise of the Option would no longer violate applicable securities laws or any such insider trading policy.

(e)    Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of pre-established performance goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

(f)    Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as

 

F-10


Table of Contents

determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. In determining which methods a Participant may utilize to pay the Exercise Price, the Administrator may consider such factors as it determines are appropriate; provided, however, that with respect to Incentive Stock Options, all such discretionary determinations shall be made by the Administrator at the time of grant and specified in the Award Agreement.

(g)    Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof, has paid in full for such shares and has satisfied the requirements of Section 16 of the Plan.

(h)    Termination of Employment or Service. Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company and all Affiliates thereof shall terminate, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(i)    In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service by the Company without Cause or due to a resignation by the Participant for any reason, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is ninety (90) days after such termination (with such period being extended to one (1) year after the date of such termination in the event of the Participant’s death during such ninety (90) day period), on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(ii)    In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service as a result of the Participant’s Disability or death, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is one (1) year after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(iii)    In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

(iv)    For purposes of determining which Options are exercisable upon termination of employment or service for purposes of this Section 7(h), Options that are not exercisable solely due to a blackout period shall be considered exercisable.

(v)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised more than three (3) months following the date as of which a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Disability. In the event that an Option is exercisable following the date that is three (3) months following the date as of which a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Disability, such Option shall be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option.

(i)    Other Change in Employment Status. An Option may be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status or service of a Participant, as evidenced in a Participant’s Award Agreement.

Table of Contents

(j)    Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Options shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

(k)    Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Option outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. In the sole discretion of the Administrator, payment of the Exercise Price of any such Option shall be made pursuant to Section 7(f)(i) or (ii), and the Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 16. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 7(k) shall not apply to an Option if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date or if the resulting number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the payment of the Exercise Price and tax withholding is less than one whole share. For the avoidance of doubt, no Option with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 7(k).

Section 8.    Stock Appreciation Rights

(a)    General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”). Any Related Right that relates to a Nonqualified Stock Option may be granted at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter, but before the exercise or expiration of the Option. Any Related Right that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded, the price per Share, and all other conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for more shares of Common Stock than are subject to the Option to which it relates and any Stock Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b)    Awards; Rights as Stockholder. The prospective recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Participants who are granted Stock Appreciation Rights shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company with respect to the grant or exercise of such rights.

(c)    Exercisability.

(i)    Stock Appreciation Rights that are Free Standing Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.

(ii)    Stock Appreciation Rights that are Related Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 above and this Section 8 of the Plan.

Table of Contents

(d)    Payment Upon Exercise.

(i)    Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of shares of Common Stock, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the price per share specified in the Free Standing Right multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Free Standing Right is being exercised.

(ii)    A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of shares of Common Stock, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised.

(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right in cash (or in any combination of shares of Common Stock and cash).

(e)    Termination of Employment or Service.

(i)    Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.

(ii)    Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options.

(f)    Term.

(i)    The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

(ii)    The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

(g)    Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

(h)    Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Stock Appreciation Right outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. The Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 16. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 8(h) shall not apply to a Stock Appreciation Right if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date or if the resulting number of shares of Common Stock issuable after tax withholding is less than one whole share. For the avoidance of doubt, no Stock Appreciation Right with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 8(h).

Section 9.    Restricted Shares

(a)    General. Each Award of Restricted Shares granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Restricted Shares may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Shares shall be made; the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Shares; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Shares; the performance goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Shares; and all other conditions of the Restricted Shares. If the restrictions, performance goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares in accordance with the terms of the grant. The terms and conditions applicable to the Restricted Shares need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b)    Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of Restricted Shares shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Except as otherwise provided in herein, (i) each Participant who is granted an Award of Restricted Shares may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued a stock certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares; and (ii) any such certificate so issued shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award. The Company may require that the stock certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Shares granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Shares, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Award. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any Restricted Shares (whether before or after any vesting conditions have been satisfied) may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued in uncertificated form pursuant to the customary arrangements for issuing shares in such form.

(c)    Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Shares granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or thereafter:

(i)    The Restricted Shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement and in the Plan.

(ii)    The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain performance goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.

(iii)    Subject to this Section 9(c)(iii), the Participant shall generally have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to Restricted Shares during the Restricted Period. In the Administrator’s discretion and as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant may be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents on an Award of Restricted Shares, which will be payable in accordance with the terms of such grant as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan. Certificates for unrestricted Shares may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant only after the Restricted Period has expired without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Shares, except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine.

(iv)    The rights of Participants granted Restricted Shares upon termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

(d)    Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Shares shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

Section 10.    Restricted Stock Units

(a)    General. Restricted Stock Units may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock Units shall be made; the number of Restricted Stock Units to be awarded; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Stock Units; the performance goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Stock Units; and all other conditions of the Restricted Stock Units. If the restrictions, performance goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms of the grant. The provisions of Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(b)    Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of Restricted Stock Units shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.

(c)    Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or, subject to Code Section 409A, thereafter:

(i)    The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain performance goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.

(ii)    Participants holding Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights. A Restricted Stock Unit may, at the Administrator’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents, subject to Section 18 of the Plan. Such right would entitle the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. The Administrator, in its discretion, may grant dividend equivalents from the date of grant or only after a Restricted Stock Unit is vested.

(iii)    The rights of Participants granted Restricted Stock Units upon termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

(d)    Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made to Participants in the form of shares of Common Stock, unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, provides for the payment of the Restricted Stock Units in cash (or partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock) equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be distributed to the Participant.

(e)    Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

Section 11.    Other Share-Based or Cash-Based Awards

(a)    The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Share-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the

 

F-15


Table of Contents

Plan and as evidenced by an Award Agreement. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, at the date of grant or thereafter, including any performance goals and performance periods. Shares of Common Stock or other securities or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 11 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action.

(b)    The prospective recipient of an Other Share-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Other Share-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.

Section 12.    Change in Control

The Administrator may provide in the applicable Award Agreement that an Award will vest on an accelerated basis upon the Participant’s termination of employment or service in connection with a Change in Control or upon the occurrence of any other event that the Administrator may set forth in the Award Agreement. If the Company is a party to an agreement that is reasonably likely to result in a Change in Control, such agreement may provide for: (i) the continuation of any Award by the Company, if the Company is the surviving corporation; (ii) the assumption of any Award by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; (iii) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of equivalent awards for any Award, provided, however, that any such substitution with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A; or (iv) settlement of any Award for the Change in Control Price (less, to the extent applicable, the per share Exercise Price), or, if the per share Exercise Price equals or exceeds the Change in Control Price or if the Administrator determines that Award cannot reasonably become vested pursuant to its terms, such Award shall terminate and be canceled without consideration. To the extent that Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or other Awards settle in shares of Common Stock in accordance with their terms upon a Change in Control, such shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive as a result of the Change in Control transaction the same consideration as the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders of the Company as a result of the Change in Control transaction. For purposes of this Section 12, “Change in Control Price” shall mean (A) the price per Share paid to stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction, or (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share upon a Change in Control, as determined by the Administrator. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such Change in Control transaction consists all or in part of securities or other non-cash consideration, the value of such securities or other non-cash consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator.

Section 13.    Amendment and Termination

(a)    The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s prior written consent.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) approval of the Company’s stockholders shall be obtained for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422, if applicable, any rules of the stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are traded or other applicable law, and (ii) without stockholder approval to the extent required by the rules of any applicable national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted, except as

 

F-16


Table of Contents

otherwise permitted under Section 5 of the Plan, (A) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (B) the Administrator may not cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right, another Award or cash and (C) the Administrator may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system.

(c)    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and Code Section 409A, the Administrator may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards under the Plan, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the extent not already exercised) and grant new Awards in substitution of them (to the extent not already exercised).

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no alteration, modification or termination of an Award will, without the prior written consent of the Participant, adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award already granted under the Plan.

Section 14.    Unfunded Status of Plan

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan. With respect to any payments not yet made or shares of Common Stock not yet transferred to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

Section 15.    Deferrals of Payment

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of shares of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award, shall be deferred. The Administrator may also, in its sole discretion, establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of any such consideration, including any applicable election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of amounts, shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program. Deferrals by Participants (or deferred settlement or payment required by the Administrator) shall be made in accordance with Code Section 409A, if applicable, and any other applicable law.

Section 16.    Withholding Taxes

Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Participant for federal, state and/or local income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of shares of Common Stock or by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or other greater amount not exceeding the maximum statutory rate required to be collected on the transaction under applicable law, as applicable to the Participant, if such other greater amount

 

F-17


Table of Contents

would not, as determined by the Administrator, result in adverse financial accounting treatment (including in connection with the effectiveness of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-09). Such shares of Common Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to an Award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Option or other Award (including by a “net exercise” or broker assisted “cashless” exercise procedure approved by the Administrator).

Section 17.    Certain Forfeitures

The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain events, in addition to the applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in an Award Agreement or that are otherwise applicable to the Participant, a termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates.

Section 18.    Dividends; Dividend Equivalents

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that an Award contains a right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents while such Award remains unvested, such dividends or dividend equivalents will be accumulated and paid once and to the extent that the underlying Award vests, and forfeited to the extent the underlying Award is forfeited.

Section 19.    Non-United States Employees

Without amending the Plan, the Administrator may grant Awards to eligible persons residing in non-United States jurisdictions on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan, including the terms of any award agreement or plan, adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to comply with, or take advantage of favorable tax or other treatment available under, the laws of any non-United States jurisdiction, as may in the judgment of the Administrator be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and, in furtherance of such purposes the Administrator may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, sub-plans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operates or has employees.

Section 20.    Transfer of Awards

No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, charge, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any Award or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”) by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement will be valid, except with the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator, and other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any purported Transfer of an Award or any economic benefit or interest therein in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company, and any person purportedly acquiring any Award or any economic benefit or interest therein transferred in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall not be entitled to be recognized as a holder of such shares of Common Stock. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during any period during which the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Under no

 

F-18


Table of Contents

circumstances will a Participant be permitted to transfer an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to a third-party financial institution without prior stockholder approval.

Section 21.    Continued Employment

The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time.

Section 22.    Effective Date

The Plan will be effective as of [                ], (the “Effective Date”). The Plan will be unlimited in duration and, in the event of Plan termination, will remain in effect as long as any shares of Common Stock awarded under it are outstanding and not fully vested; provided, however, that no Awards will be made under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date; provided further, that in no event may an Incentive Stock Option be granted more than ten years after the earlier of (a) the date of the adoption of the Plan by the Board or (b) the Effective Date.

Section 23.    Code Section 409A

The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan be either exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered consistent with such intent. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided upon a “separation from service” to a Participant who is a “specified employee” shall be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Nothing contained in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect with respect to an Award. The Company does not guarantee that any Awards provided under the Plan will be exempt from or in compliance with the provisions of Code Section 409A, and in no event will the Company be liable for any or all portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by a Participant on account of any Award being subject to, but not in compliance with, Code Section 409A.

Section 24.    Compliance with Laws

(a)    The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in shares of Common Stock or other consideration shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, (ii) such approvals as may be required by governmental agencies or the applicable national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock may be admitted, and (iii) policies maintained by the Company from time to time in order to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations and corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation, with respect to insider trading restrictions. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel (if the Company has requested such an opinion), satisfactory to the Company, that such shares of Common Stock may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption

 

F-19


Table of Contents

therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Common Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Administrator shall have the authority to provide that all shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations and other requirements, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on certificates representing shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference to such restrictions or may cause such shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan in book-entry form to be held subject to the Company’s instructions or subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

(b)    The Administrator may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of shares of Common Stock to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Administrator determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, (i) pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares of Common Stock would have been vested or issued, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price (in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) or any amount payable as a condition of issuance of shares of Common Stock (in the case of any other Award), and such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof, or (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Other Share-Based Awards, provide the Participant with a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Other Share-Based Awards, or the underlying shares of Common Stock in respect thereof.

Section 25.    Erroneously Awarded Compensation; Clawback

The Plan and all Awards issued hereunder shall be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment policy adopted by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or to comport with good corporate governance practices, including on a retroactive basis, as such policies may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrator also may cancel an Award if the Participant, without the consent of the Company, (a) has engaged in or engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities or (b) violates a non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement or non-disclosure covenant or agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, as determined by the Administrator, or if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated for Cause. The Administrator may also provide in an Award Agreement that in any such event the Participant will forfeit any compensation, gain or other value realized thereafter on the vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award, the sale or other transfer of such Award, or the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired in respect of such Award, and must promptly repay such amounts to the Company. The Administrator may also provide in an Award Agreement that if the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the

 

F-20


Table of Contents

Participant should have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), all as determined by the Administrator, then the Participant shall be required to promptly repay any such excess amount to the Company. In addition, the Company shall retain the right to bring an action at equity or law to enjoin the Participant’s activity and recover damages resulting from such activity.

Section 26.    Governing Law

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state.

Section 27.    Plan Document Controls

The Plan and each Award Agreement together constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and such Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.

Section 28.    No Interference

The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreement, and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company, the Board, the Committee, or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants, or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, or preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of their assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

Section 29.    Whistleblower Acknowledgements

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Plan or any Award Agreement will (a) prohibit a Participant from making reports of possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Exchange Act or Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or of any other whistleblower protection provisions of federal law or regulation, or (b) require prior approval by the Company or any of its Affiliates of any reporting described in clause (a).

ARTICLE I.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Plan is to assist Eligible Employees of the Company and its Designated Entities in acquiring a share ownership interest in the Company.

The Plan permits two types of Offerings: a Section 423 Offering and a Non-Section 423 Offering. It is the intention of the Company to have each Section 423 Offering qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code and to have each Non-Section 423 Offering be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of the Plan with respect to any Section 423 Offering shall, accordingly, be construed and administered consistently with that intention. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or determined by the Administrator, each Non-Section 423 Offering will operate and be administered in the same manner as any Section 423 Offering.

For purposes of this Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan in which Eligible Employees will participate and whether the Offering is a Section 423 Offering or a Non-Section 423 Offering. The terms of these Offerings need not be identical, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Period(s) in each such Offering are identical, provided that the terms of participation are the same within each separate Offering.

5.2    Enrollment in Plan.

(a)    Except as otherwise set forth herein or in an Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan for an Offering Period by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company (or executing such electronic subscription agreement as required by the Administrator), by such time prior to the Enrollment Date for such Offering Period (or such other date specified in the Offering Document) designated by the Administrator and in such form as the Administrator provides.

(b)    Each subscription agreement shall designate a whole percentage or a fixed dollar amount, as designated by the Administrator, of such Eligible Employee’s Compensation to be withheld by the Company or the Designated Entity employing such Eligible Employee on each payday during the Offering Period as payroll deductions under the Plan. The percentage of Compensation designated by an Eligible Employee may not be less than one percent (1%) and may not be more than the maximum percentage specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document (which maximum percentage shall be fifteen percent (15%) in the absence of any such designation) as payroll deductions. The fixed dollar amount of Compensation designated by an Eligible Employee may not be more than the maximum dollar amount specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document; provided that, in no event shall the actual amount withheld on any payday hereunder exceed the net amount payable to the Eligible Employee on such payday after taxes and any other applicable deductions therefrom (and if amounts to be withheld hereunder would otherwise result in a negative payment to the Eligible Employee on such payday, the amount to be withheld hereunder shall instead be reduced by the least amount necessary to avoid a negative payment amount for the Eligible Employee on such payday, as determined by the Administrator). The payroll deductions made for each Participant shall be credited to an account for such Participant under the Plan and shall be deposited with the general funds of the Company.

(c)    Unless otherwise provided in the terms of an Offering Document, a Participant may increase or decrease the percentage or fixed amount of Compensation designated in the subscription agreement, subject to the limits of this Section 5.2, or may suspend payroll deductions entirely, in any case, at any time during an Offering Period; provided, however, that the Administrator may limit or eliminate the type or number of changes a Participant may make to payroll deduction elections during each Offering Period in the applicable Offering Document (and in the absence of any specific designation by the Administrator, and unless provided otherwise in the Offering Document, a Participant shall be allowed to decrease (but not increase) or suspend payroll deduction elections entirely, in either case, once during each Purchase Period. Any such change or suspension of payroll deductions shall be effective with the first full payroll period starting thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document). If a Participant suspends payroll deductions during an Offering Period, such Participant’s cumulative unapplied payroll deductions prior to the suspension (if any) shall remain in the Participant’s account and shall be applied to the purchase of Shares on the next occurring Purchase Date. For clarity, if a Participant who suspends participation in an Offering Period ceases to be an Eligible Employee or withdraws from participation in such Offering Period, in either case, prior to the Purchase Date next following the Participant’s suspension of participation in the Offering Period, in any case, such Participant’s cumulative unapplied payroll deductions shall be returned to the Participant in accordance with Article VII.

(d)    Except as otherwise set forth herein or in an Offering Document or as otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Participant may participate in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction and may not make contributions by lump-sum payment for any Offering Period.

5.3    Payroll Deductions. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable Offering Document, payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payday in the Offering Period and shall end on the last payday in the Offering Period to which the Participant’s authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Article VII or suspended by the Participant or the Administrator as provided in Section 5.2 or Section 5.6, respectively.

5.4    Effect of Enrollment. A Participant’s delivery of a subscription agreement will enroll such Participant in the Plan for each subsequent Offering Period on the terms contained therein until the Participant either submits a new subscription agreement, withdraws from participation under the Plan as provided in Article VII or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan, except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.1.

5.5    Statutory Limit on Purchase of Shares. An Eligible Employee may be granted rights under the Section 423 Offerings only if such rights, together with any other rights granted to such Eligible Employee under “employee stock purchase plans” of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary, as specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, do not permit such employee to purchase stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined as of the first day of the Offering Period during which such rights are granted) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time. This limitation for Section 423 Offerings shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

5.6    Suspension of Payroll Deductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary for Section 423 Offerings to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 5.5 or the other limitations set forth in this Plan, a Participant’s payroll deductions may be suspended by the Administrator at any time during an Offering Period. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares by reason of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code or Section 5.5 of the Plan shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash, without interest, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date (but no later than thirty (30) days thereafter).

5.7    Leave of Absence. During leaves of absence approved by the Company (or the Designated Entity employing the Participant) that meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h)(2), unless otherwise set forth in the terms of an Offering Document, a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on the Participant’s normal payday equal to the Participant’s authorized payroll deduction, notwithstanding Section 5.2(d).

ARTICLE VI.

GRANT AND EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

6.1    Grant of Rights. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted a right to purchase the maximum number of Shares specified under Section 4.2, subject to the limits in Section 5.5, and shall have the right to buy, on each Purchase Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price), such number of whole Shares (and a right to obtain a fractional Share as may be provided in the Offering Document) as is determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Purchase Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Purchase Date, by (b) the applicable Purchase Price (rounded down to the nearest Share). The right shall expire on the earliest of (i) the last Purchase Date of an Offering Period, (ii) the last day of the Offering Period, or (iii) the date on which the Participant withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Section 7.1 or Section 7.3.

6.2    Exercise of Rights. On each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and any other additional payments specifically provided for herein or in the applicable Offering Document will be applied to the purchase of whole Shares, up to the number of Shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Offering Document, at the Purchase Price. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of rights granted under the Plan, unless the Offering Document specifically provides otherwise. Unless the Offering Document provides for the right to obtain fractional Shares, any cash remaining in the Participant’s account after the purchase of whole Shares will be carried forward and applied toward the purchase of whole Shares for the next following Offering Period, unless the Participant has suspended payroll deductions, withdrawn from the Plan or is otherwise ineligible to participate in the Plan, in which case such cash shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum, without interest, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date (but no later than thirty (30) days thereafter).

6.3    Pro Rata Allocation of Shares. If the Administrator determines that, on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which rights are to be exercised may exceed (a) the number of Shares that were available for issuance under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (b) the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants for whom rights to purchase Shares are to be exercised on such Purchase Date, and shall either (i) continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (ii) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Article IX. The Administrator may make pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares shall be paid to such Participant without interest in one lump sum in cash, without interest, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date, or such earlier date as determined by the Administrator.

6.4    Withholding. At the time a Participant’s rights under the Plan are exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Shares issued under the Plan are disposed of, the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s (or a Designated Entity’s) obligation to withhold, collect or account for federal, state, local, foreign or other income taxes, employment taxes, social insurance, payroll taxes, national insurance contributions and other contributions, payment on account obligations or other amounts (the “Taxes”), if any, that arise upon the grant or exercise of any purchase right under the Plan or the disposition of the Shares. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation or Shares to be received pursuant to the Plan the amount necessary for the Company (or a Designated Entity) to meet applicable obligations with respect to Taxes, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Shares by the Participant, if applicable.

6.5    Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for, or make any book entries evidencing, Shares purchased upon the exercise of purchase rights under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges, if any, on which the Shares are then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state, federal or foreign law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, that the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or desirable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state, federal or foreign governmental agency that the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or desirable; (d) the payment to the Company of all amounts that it (or a Designated Entity) is required to withhold with respect to Taxes, if any; and (e) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the rights as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

6.6    Vesting. A Participant’s interest in the Shares purchased under the Plan shall be immediately vested and nonforfeitable in full upon issuance.

ARTICLE VII.

WITHDRAWAL; CESSATION OF ELIGIBILITY

7.1    Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw all, but not less than all, of the payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account and not yet used to exercise the Participant’s purchase rights under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Administrator in a form acceptable to the Administrator no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-applicable Purchase Period (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document).

Participant’s account during such Purchase Period and not yet used to exercise purchase rights under the Plan shall be paid to such Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of withdrawal (but no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice), such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of Shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period (including by virtue of a suspension as described in Section 5.2(c)), payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of any subsequent Offering Period unless the Participant is an Eligible Employee and timely delivers to the Administrator a new subscription agreement by the applicable enrollment deadline for any such subsequent Offering Period, as determined by the Administrator.

7.2    Future Participation. A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon the Participant’s eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or a Designated Entity or in any subsequent Offering Period that commences on or after the Participant’s withdrawal from any Offering Period, subject to the terms of such similar plan or subsequent Offering.

7.3    Cessation of Eligibility. Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee for any reason (which shall include an employment transfer from the Company or any Designated Entity participating in the Plan to any Subsidiary or Affiliate that is not participating in the Plan), the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to this Article VII and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s account during the then-current Purchase Period shall be paid to such Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than thirty (30) days following such Participant’s cessation as an Eligible Employee), and such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated.

ARTICLE VIII.

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN SHARES

8.1    Changes in Capitalization. Subject to Section 8.3, in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), stock split, change in control, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase, redemption, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, as determined by the Administrator, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any outstanding rights under the Plan, the Administrator shall make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 and the limitations established in each Offering Document pursuant to Section 4.2 on the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased); (b) the kind, class, number and per-Share price of Shares subject to outstanding rights; and (c) the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

ARTICLE IX.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

9.1    Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that approval of the Company’s stockholders shall be required to amend the Plan to increase the aggregate number, or change the type, of shares that may be sold pursuant to rights under the Plan under Section 3.1 (other than an adjustment as provided by Article VIII) or as may otherwise be required under Section 423 of the Code with respect to Section 423 Offerings or as may otherwise be required by applicable stock exchange requirements.

9.2    Certain Changes to Plan.

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant.

9.4    Payments Upon Termination of Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, the balance in each Participant’s Plan account shall be refunded as soon as practicable after such termination (but no later than thirty (30) days thereafter), without any interest thereon, or if the Administrator so determines, the Offering Period may be shortened so that the purchase of Shares occurs prior to the termination of the Plan.

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1    Restriction upon Assignment. A right granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or the Applicable Law of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. Except in the case of a Participant’s death, a right under the Plan may not be exercised to any extent except by the Participant. The Company shall not recognize and shall be under no duty to recognize any assignment or alienation of the Participant’s interest in the Plan or the Participant’s rights under the Plan.

12.2    Rights as a Stockholder. With respect to Shares subject to a right granted under the Plan, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company, and no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder, until such Shares have been issued to the Participant or the Designated Beneficiary following exercise of the Participant’s rights under the Plan.

12.5    Equal Rights and Privileges. Subject to Section 5.7, all Eligible Employees will have equal rights and privileges under any particular Offering under the Plan, to the extent necessary for any Section 423 Offering to comply with Section 423 of the Code.

12.8    No Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any person (including any Eligible Employee or Participant) the right to employment or service (or to remain in the employ or service) with the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate or affect the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of any person (including any Eligible Employee or Participant) at any time, with or without cause.

12.9    Notice of Disposition of Shares. This Section 12.9 shall apply only to Shares purchased pursuant to Section 423 Offerings. Each Participant shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares purchased upon exercise of a right under the Plan if such disposition or transfer is made: (a) within two (2) years from the Enrollment Date of the Offering Period in which the Shares were purchased or (b) within one (1) year after the Purchase Date on which such Shares were purchased. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Participant in such disposition or other transfer. At the Company’s request, Participants will be required to provide the Company or a Designated Entity with any information reasonably required for tax reporting purposes.

12.10    Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, any Subsidiary, the Administrator, or the Agent will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, Designated Beneficiary or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Offering Period, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in the capacity as an Administrator, director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Agent. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, other employee and agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation (including any Offering Document), against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith.

12.11    Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any Offering Document or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan and

 

G-13

Offering Document, and the Plan and Offering Document will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

12.12    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.

12.13    Conformity to Securities Laws. The Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Offering Periods will be administered only in conformance with Applicable Law. To the extent Applicable Law permits, the Plan and all Offering Periods will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

12.14    Relationship to Other Benefits.

12.15    Governing Law. The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice of law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

12.16    Electronic Forms. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and in the discretion of the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may submit any form or notice as set forth herein or as set forth in any Offering Document by means of an electronic form approved by the Administrator. Before the commencement of an Offering Period, the Administrator shall prescribe the time limits within which any such electronic form shall be submitted to the Administrator with respect to such Offering Period in order to be a valid election.

12.17    Section 409A. The Plan, the Offering Documents, and the rights to purchase Shares granted pursuant to Offerings thereunder are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Offering Document to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that any right to purchase Shares granted under the Plan may be or become subject to Section 409A or that any provision of the Plan or any Offering Document may cause a right to purchase Shares granted under the Plan to be or become subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan, the applicable Offering Document, and/or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as the Administrator determines are necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, either through compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or with an available exemption therefrom. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, none of the Company or any of its Parents or Subsidiaries, or any of their officers, directors, employees or agents, including the Administrator, shall be liable to any Eligible Employee, Participant, Designated Beneficiary or other person if the Plan does not comply with, or is not exempt from, Section 409A.

12.18    Plan Not Subject to ERISA. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Board of Directors

DTRT Health Acquisition Corp.

1415 West 22nd Street, Tower Floor

Oak Brook, IL 60523

Members of the Board of Directors:

You have requested that Lincoln International LLC (“Lincoln” or “we”) render an opinion (the “Opinion”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to DTRT Health Acquisition Corp. (“DTRT”) and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders (defined as holders of DTRT Common Stock other than (i) DTRT Health Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), (ii) holders of DTRT Common Stock who elect to redeem their shares prior to or in connection with the Mergers (as defined below), and (iii) officers, directors, or affiliates of DTRT or the Sponsor) of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger (as defined below).

Background of the Proposed Transaction

We understand that DTRT proposes to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Grizzly New Pubco, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of DTRT (“New Pubco”), Grizzly Merger Sub, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Pubco (“DTRT Merger Sub”), and Consumer Direct Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) the Pre-Closing Holders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) will form a Delaware corporation (“Newco”) and contribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock to Newco in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Newco (the “Newco Common Stock” and, such contribution, the “Contribution”), (ii) DTRT Merger Sub will merge with and into DTRT (the “First Merger”), with DTRT as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Pubco, and stockholders of DTRT will receive shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Pubco (the “New Pubco Common Stock”) in exchange for their shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of DTRT (together, the “DTRT Common Stock”) and holders of DTRT private placement warrants shall receive warrants of New Pubco, (iii) Newco will merge with and into New Pubco (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with New Pubco as the surviving entity, and holders of shares of Newco Common Stock (other than shares held in the treasury of Newco, all of which shares will be cancelled, or as to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised) will receive, in the aggregate, (x) an amount equal to $118.35 million in cash (the “Company Cash Consideration”) and (y) shares of New Pubco Common Stock (the “Company Stock Consideration” and, together with the Company Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”) in exchange for their shares of Newco Common Stock in an amount to be based on a cash-free, debt-free enterprise value of $527.0 million. The Merger Consideration is subject to certain closing adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as to which adjustments we express no opinion. The terms and conditions of the Mergers are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

We also understand that, in connection with the Mergers, DTRT will pursue (i) commitments from third party lenders to provide loans of up to $150,000,000 to New Pubco (the “Debt Financing”) and (ii) subscription agreements or other commitments from third party investors to provide equity financing to New Pubco (the “PIPE Financing” and, together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”).

Assumptions, Qualifications, and Limiting Conditions

In performing its analyses and rendering this Opinion with respect to the Mergers, Lincoln has, with DTRT’s consent:

 

  1)

Relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information we reviewed, and we have not assumed any responsibility for the independent verification of, nor independently verified, any of such information;

 

  2)

Relied upon the assurances of the management of each of the Company and DTRT that they are unaware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information materially incomplete or misleading;

 

  3)

Assumed that the financial forecasts, including the Company Projections, provided to Lincoln by DTRT and the Company were reasonably prepared in good faith on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company and the other matters covered thereby, and Lincoln assumes no responsibility for and expresses no opinion on the assumptions, estimates, and judgments on which such forecasts, including the Company Projections, were based;

 

  4)

Assumed that the Mergers, the Contribution and the Financing will be consummated in a timely manner that complies in all respects with all applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations;

 

  5)

Assumed that the long-term incentive plan of New Pubco will be approved and adopted in accordance with the terms outlined by DTRT and other documents made available to Lincoln (including the pro-forma capitalization table reflected in the Company Projections), without waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement therein that is material to Lincoln’s analysis;

 

  6)

  7)

Assumed that the Mergers, the Contribution and the Financing will be consummated in accordance with the terms outlined by DTRT and other documents made available to Lincoln, without waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement therein that is material to Lincoln’s analysis;

 

  8)

Assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, liabilities, business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, or prospects of the Company or DTRT since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to Lincoln, other than for any such changes that are reflected in the Company Projections;

 

  9)

Assumed for purposes of our analyses and opinion that the value of the shares of New Pubco Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Second Merger will be $10.20 per share, based on the terms of the Merger Agreement;

 

  10)

Assumed that the final terms of the Mergers will not vary materially from those set forth in the copies or drafts, as applicable, reviewed by Lincoln; and

 

  11)

Assumed that the final versions of all documents (including the Merger Agreement) conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed by Lincoln.

Lincoln has prepared this Opinion as of the date hereof. This Opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as they exist on and the information made available to us as of the date hereof. Although subsequent developments may affect this Opinion, Lincoln does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion. We have relied upon the assessments of the management of DTRT and the Company as to, among other things, the potential impact on DTRT, the Company and New Pubco of market, competitive, seasonal, macroeconomic, geopolitical and other conditions, trends and developments in and prospects for, and governmental, regulatory and legislative matters relating to or affecting, the health care industry and the geographic regions and local communities in which DTRT, the Company and New Pubco operate. We have assumed that there will not be any developments with respect to any such matters that would have an adverse effect on DTRT, the Company, New Pubco or the Mergers (including the contemplated benefits thereof) or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to our analyses or opinion. In preparing this opinion, we have not taken into account any tax consequences of the transaction to any holder of DTRT Common Stock or Company Common Stock. You have advised us that the parties intend that the Contribution, the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken individually, will qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and we have assumed that the Contribution, the First Merger and the Second Merger will otherwise qualify for the intended tax treatment contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Lincoln did not evaluate the Company’s or DTRT’s solvency and was not requested to make, and did not make, an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise) of the Company or DTRT or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor was Lincoln furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Lincoln did not perform any financial analyses to evaluate the value of DTRT or to derive valuation reference ranges for shares of DTRT Common Stock or New Pubco Common Stock for purposes of comparison with the Merger Consideration or otherwise. Lincoln was not requested to, nor did Lincoln, participate in the negotiation or structuring of the Transaction. Lincoln was not requested to, nor did Lincoln, seek alternative candidates for the Transaction.

This Opinion (i) does not address the underlying business decision of the Board of Directors of DTRT (the “Board”) or DTRT to proceed with or effect the Mergers or the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to

 

H-4


Table of Contents

other transaction structures, transactions or business strategies that may be available to DTRT or the effect of any other transaction in which DTRT might engage, and does not address whether the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT pursuant to the Merger Agreement is the best possibly attainable under the circumstances, (ii) does not address the capital structure of DTRT or New Pubco, whether New Pubco should be issuing debt or equity securities or a combination of both in connection with the Mergers or the Financing, or the form, structure or any aspect or terms of any debt or equity financing for the Mergers or the Financing or the likelihood of closing such financing, (iii) does not address the individual circumstances of specific stockholders of DTRT or New Pubco (including holders of Class B Shares of DTRT Common Stock or warrants to purchase shares of DTRT Common Stock) with respect to rights or aspects which may distinguish such holders or equity securities held by such holders, (iv) does not address, take into consideration or give effect to any existing or future rights, preferences, restrictions or limitations or other attributes of any such securities or holders (including the Sponsor), (v) does not in any way address proportionate allocation or relative fairness (including, without limitation, the allocation of any consideration among or within any classes or groups of security holders or other constituents of DTRT, New Pubco or any other party), (vi) does not constitute advice or a recommendation to the Board or any security holder as to how they should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the Mergers (including as to whether they should redeem any shares of DTRT Common Stock in connection with the SPAC Stockholder Redemption (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), and (vii) only addresses the fairness from a financial point of view to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders of the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Mergers, or any agreements, arrangements or understandings entered into in connection with the Mergers or otherwise (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of the securities offered in the initial public offering of DTRT, or the terms and conditions of the Contribution, the First Merger or the Financing). We express no opinion as to the fairness of any portion or aspect of the Mergers to (a) the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of DTRT or any other party, except as expressly set forth below, or (b) any one class or group of DTRT’s security holders, creditors or other constituencies vis-à-vis any other class or group of DTRT’s security holders, creditors or other constituents (including, without limitation, the allocation of any Merger Consideration among or within such classes or groups of security holders, creditors or other constituents). The decision as to whether to proceed with the Mergers or any related transaction depends on an assessment of various factors, many of which are unrelated to the financial analyses on which this Opinion is based.

Lincoln expresses no opinion as to what the market price or value of the DTRT Common Stock or the New Pubco Common Stock or any other publicly-traded securities issued by DTRT, the Company, Newco or New Pubco will be after the announcement or consummation of the Mergers (including as compared to the amount which holders of DTRT Common Stock may receive on redemption of their shares in connection with the SPAC Stockholder Redemption). This Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating or solvency opinion, an analysis of DTRT’s or New Pubco’s credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. We also express no opinion about the amount or nature of any compensation or equity arrangement to be given to DTRT’s, New Pubco’s or the Company’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, in connection with the Mergers relative to the Merger Consideration in the Mergers.

It is understood that this Opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board in connection with the Mergers. This Opinion may not be used for any other purpose and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any other person. Except as contemplated by the Engagement Letter, dated as of September 16, 2022, between Lincoln and DTRT, neither this Opinion nor any other advice or information provided by Lincoln, whether oral or written, may be disclosed, reproduced, disseminated, summarized, quoted from or referred to, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. This Opinion does not create any fiduciary duty on the part of Lincoln to DTRT, the Board, the stockholders of DTRT or any other party.

Disclosure of Relationships

Lincoln will receive a customary fee from DTRT for our services, a portion of which was payable upon our retention, and the balance of which was earned upon our having informed the Board that we were prepared to render this Opinion. No portion of our fee is contingent upon either the conclusion reached herein or the consummation of the Mergers. In addition, DTRT has agreed to indemnify us and certain related parties against certain liabilities, and to reimburse us for certain expenses, arising in connection with or as a result of our engagement. During the two years preceding the date of this Opinion, we and our affiliates have not had other investment banking relationships with DTRT or the Company or their respective affiliates for which we were paid for our services. We and our affiliates provide a range of investment banking and financial services and, in that regard, we and our affiliates may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to DTRT, New Pubco and the Company and/or their respective affiliates, for which we and our affiliates would expect to receive compensation.

Conclusion

Based on and subject to the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be paid by DTRT in the Second Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to DTRT and the DTRT Unaffiliated Stockholders.

This Opinion has been authorized for issuance by the Fairness Opinion Committee of Lincoln.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Lincoln International LLC

(c) From and after the date hereof, CDH Party agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, knowingly make, publish or communicate to any Person any oral or written statement that disparages or places the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, SPAC, or New Pubco, or any of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, stockholders, or agents, in respect thereof in a false or negative light, except (i) in connection with a legal proceeding in which the Company, CDH Party or such Affiliate, officer, director or equityholder is under oath or responding to a subpoena or is otherwise required by Law to cooperate with a Governmental Authority, and (ii) in responding publicly to incorrect, disparaging or derogatory public statements to the extent reasonably necessary to correct or refute such public statement.

(d) CDH Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company prior to and following the Closing competes with other similar businesses that are or could be located within the Territory; (ii) SPAC and New Pubco have required that CDH Party make the covenants set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement as a condition to consummation of the Transactions; (iii) the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve New Pubco’s and the Company’s interests in and operation of the Company’s business (including but not limited to the goodwill of the Company’s business) from and after the Closing; (d) CDH Party will receive substantial Merger Consideration in the Transactions; (e) New Pubco, SPAC, and the Company would be irreparably damaged if CDH Party were to breach the covenants set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement; and (f) the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement do not prevent or preclude CDH Party from earning a suitable livelihood.

This Section 3 as thus amended shall be enforced so as to give effect to the intention of the parties insofar as that is possible. In addition, the parties hereby expressly acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 3 are reasonable in terms of duration, scope, and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of New Pubco, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries’ businesses, and the substantial investment made by New Pubco and SPAC hereunder.

4. Remedies. In the event of a breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 2 or 3 of this Agreement, New Pubco shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to New Pubco or any of its Affiliates at law or in equity:

(a) the right and remedy to have the provisions of Sections 2 or 3 specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of such provisions would cause irreparable injury to New Pubco or such Affiliate and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to New Pubco or such Affiliate; and

5. Tolling of Restriction. If CDH Party is found to have violated any of the provisions of Section 3, CDH Party agrees that the restrictive period of each covenant so violated shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation by CDH Party. It is the intent of this paragraph that the running of the restrictive period of any covenant shall be tolled during any period of violation of such covenants so that New Pubco may obtain the full and reasonable protection for which it contracted and so that CDH Party may not profit by any breach of such covenants.

6. Representations and Warranties. CDH Party hereby represents and warrants to New Pubco, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by CDH Party and, subject to the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by New Pubco, constitutes a legally valid and binding agreement of CDH Party enforceable against CDH Party in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies).

(f) There is no Action pending against CDH Party or, to the knowledge of CDH Party, threatened against CDH Party that, in any manner, questions the beneficial or record ownership of CDH Party’s shares of Company Common Stock or the validity of this Agreement, or challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by CDH Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g) Except as described on Schedule 4.21 of the Merger Agreement, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement based upon arrangements made by CDH Party, for which New Pubco, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates may become liable.

Item 20.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

CDCN’s charter provides that a director will not be personally liable to CDCN or CDCN’s stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to CDCN or CDCN’s stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective. Accordingly, these provisions will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based on a director’s breach of his or her duty of care.

CDCN’s charter provides that CDCN will indemnify its present and former directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL and that such indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw provision, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, CDCN has previously entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers. These existing agreements require CDCN to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to CDCN, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Pubco will enter into new indemnification agreements with directors, officers and some employees containing provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. The new indemnification agreements will require New Pubco, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

New Pubco’s certificate of incorporation will provide for indemnification of New Pubco’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, and New Pubco’s bylaws will provide for indemnification of New Pubco’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.

Item 22.

Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  i.

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  ii.

To reflect in the proxy statement/prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  iii.

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  (2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

  (5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  i.

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  ii.

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  iii.

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

II-4


Table of Contents
  iv.

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  (6)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (7)

That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

 

  (8)

That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
