On August 8, 2019, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WIH II and Wolverine Merger Corporation, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of WIH II (“Merger Sub”). WIH II and Merger Sub are indirect
subsidiaries of funds managed and advised by Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, a U.S. private equity firm (“Platinum”).
The Merger Agreement provides, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, that Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of WIH II (the
“Merger”). At the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and as a result of the Merger:
| • | Each Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Merger Agreement or Dissenting Shares (as defined in the
Merger Agreement), shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $11.05 in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes (as defined in the Merger Agreement) required by applicable law as provided in Section 2.5
of the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”); |
| • | Each option to purchase Shares (each, a “Issuer Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the
part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to the Issuer Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if
any, of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price of such Issuer Option; provided that any such Issuer Option with respect to which the per-share exercise price subject thereto is equal to or greater than the Merger
Consideration shall be cancelled for no consideration; |
| • | Each award of Issuer restricted stock units (“Issuer RSUs”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and shall, automatically and without any required action on the
part of the holder thereof or the Issuer, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of Shares underlying such award of Issuer RSUs, multiplied by (y) the Merger
Consideration; |
| • | Each award of Issuer performance share units (“Issuer PSUs”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into a fully vested right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal
to the product of (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the Applicable Percentage (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the target number of Shares underlying such Issuer PSUs; |
| • | Each unvested restricted Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and convertible into a right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration;
and |
| • | Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock
of the surviving corporation. |
The board of directors of the Issuer (the “Issuer Board”) has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreements (as defined below) and the Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement, including the Merger) are
advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders, (ii) (a) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the
Transactions and (b) approved the Voting Agreements and the execution, delivery and performance thereof, (iii) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to the stockholders of the Issuer for their adoption and (iv) resolved to recommend that
the Issuer’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.
Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and briefly discussed below, the Issuer expects the Merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2019. The stockholders of the Issuer will be asked to vote on the adoption
of the Merger Agreement at a special stockholder meeting that will be held on a date, and at the time and place, to be announced when finalized.
The closing of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the Shares then outstanding (the “Issuer Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration or early
termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of requisite competition and merger controls approvals in the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland and Canada, (iii) the absence of
any order of any court of competent jurisdiction or any other Governmental Entity (as defined in the Merger Agreement) enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger which continues to be in effect, (iv) authorization of the Transactions
by the French Ministry of Economy and Finance pursuant to French foreign investment regulations and (v) subject to Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and other customary materiality qualifications, the accuracy of
the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and compliance with the covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement. The closing of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants by the Issuer to conduct its business in the ordinary course between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the
Merger, not to engage in certain kinds of material transactions during such period, to convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Issuer Stockholder Approval, to cooperate with WIH II in connection with
the financing for the Merger, to obtain regulatory approvals and, subject to certain customary exceptions, for the Board to recommend that the stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations,
warranties and covenants of WIH II and Merger Sub, including a covenant that WIH II use its reasonable best efforts to cause the financing for the Merger to be funded.
The Merger Agreement provides that, during the period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer may not initiate, solicit, propose, or knowingly facilitate, induce or encourage any inquiries with respect to, the submission of,
any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from third parties or provide non-public information to such third parties. However, if at any time
following the date hereof and prior to the receipt of Issuer Stockholder Approval the Issuer receives a written Acquisition Proposal from a third party and the Issuer has not breached the non-solicitation provision of the Merger Agreement (other
than any de minimis non-compliance) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and the Issuer Board determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined below), then the
Issuer may provide information with respect to the Issuer and its subsidiaries and access to the books, records, personnel and facilities of the Issuer and its subsidiaries and participate in discussions or negotiations with such third party
(subject to entry into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with such third party and other customary notice and information obligations to WIH II).
Prior to obtaining the Issuer Stockholder Approval, the Issuer Board may effect a “Change of Board Recommendation” (as defined below) and/or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive written agreement with a written acquisition
proposal that the Issuer Board in consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside counsel determine in good faith would result in a more favorable transaction from a financial point of view for the Issuer’s stockholders (a
“Superior Proposal”) if (x) the Issuer has received a written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn and the Issuer Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel,
constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) the Issuer Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to effect a Change of Board Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal would violate the directors’
fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Issuer under applicable law; provided that (i) the Issuer provided at least four days’ prior written notice to WIH II of the Issuer’s intention to effect a Change of Board Recommendation or terminate the
Merger Agreement, (ii) the Issuer, if requested by WIH II, will have negotiated in good faith with WIH II regarding any amendment to this Agreement proposed in writing by WIH II and intended to cause the relevant Superior Proposal to no longer be a
Superior Proposal, (iii) the Issuer Board shall have considered in good faith any adjustments and/or amendments that WIH II shall have proposed by 11:59 am ET on the last day of the notice period, (iv) the Issuer complied with its non-solicitation
obligations under the Merger Agreement (other than any de minimis non-compliance) with respect to such Superior Proposal and (v) prior to or concurrently with any termination of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer shall have paid the termination fee.
A “Change of Board Recommendation” exists if, among other circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) the Issuer Board approves or recommends another acquisition proposal, (ii) the Issuer Board fails to make the recommendation or declare
the advisability of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the Issuer Board approves or recommends, or publicly proposes another agreement relating to any other acquisition proposal, (iv) the Issuer Board makes any statement inconsistent with its
recommendation, or (v) the Issuer fails to include the Issuer Board’s recommendation in the proxy statement.
WIH II and Merger Sub have secured committed financing, consisting of a combination of equity to be provided by investment funds advised by Platinum and debt to be provided by Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Deutsche
Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. the aggregate proceeds of which, together with cash on hand at the Issuer (which will be available to WIH II after the Merger), will be sufficient for WIH II to pay the aggregate
Merger Consideration and all other closing payments and related fees and expenses. The availability of the debt financing is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Issuer and WIH II. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by (i) mutual written consent of both parties prior to the Effective Time or (ii) by either Issuer or WIH II if (a)
Issuer Stockholder Approval is not obtained upon a vote taken at the Issuer meeting, (b) any court or other Governmental Entity issues an order permanently enjoining the consummation of the Merger, or (c) the Effective Time does not occur on or
before six months from the date of signing, which date may be extended by either the Issuer or WIH II for an additional three months, if necessary, to obtain required antitrust approvals (the “Outside Date”), (iii) by WIH II if the Issuer Board
effects a Change of Board Recommendation prior to receipt of the Issuer Stockholder Approval or the Issuer enters into a merger agreement relating to a Superior Proposal, or there is an uncured willful breach of the non-solicitation provisions of
the Merger Agreement, (iv) by WIH II if the Issuer materially breaches the Merger Agreement, WIH II delivered a notice of such breach to Issuer and such breach is not capable of cure prior to the Outside Date or the Issuer fails to cure within 30
days, (v) by WIH II if there was any effect that individually or in the aggregate had a Company Material Adverse Effect, WIH II delivered notice of such Material Adverse Effect to the Issuer and such Material Adverse Effect is not capable of cure
prior to the Outside Date or the Issuer fails to cure within 30 days, (vi) by the Issuer if the Issuer Board determines to accept a Superior Proposal, (vii) by the Issuer if WIH II materially breaches the Merger Agreement, the Issuer delivered
notice of such breach and such breach is not capable of cure prior to the Outside Date or WIH II fails to cure within 30 days, or (viii) by the Issuer if, after the marketing period is completed and all closing conditions are satisfied, WIH II
fails to close within two business days following written confirmation from the Issuer that it is prepared to close. The Merger Agreement also provides that either party may specifically enforce the other party’s obligations thereunder, provided
that the Issuer may only cause WIH II to consummate the Merger if certain requirements are satisfied, including the availability of the debt financing to be funded.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated, in certain circumstances related to a Change of Board Recommendation, termination to accept a Superior Proposal and other similar situations, then the Issuer shall pay to WIH II a termination fee of
approximately $39,000,000. The Issuer may also be required to pay a termination fee to WIH II if an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced and both the Merger Agreement is subsequently terminated due to failure to obtain the Issuer Stockholder
Approval or failure to close by the Outside Date as a result of the failure to obtain the Issuer Stockholder Approval, and within 12 months after such termination, the Issuer enters into a definitive agreement in respect of the Acquisition Proposal
and such transaction is consummated.
If the Issuer terminates in the event (i) there has been a material breach by WIH II or Merger Sub of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Agreement that is not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or
WIH II is not capable of curing such breach within 30 days of receipt of notice thereof or (ii) the Issuer’s obligations for closing have been satisfied or waived, the Issuer has delivered notice to WIH II stating that the Closing will occur and
WIH II fails to consummate the transactions by the later of (x) the date on which closing is to occur under the Agreement and (y) two business days after receipt of such notice, then WIH II shall pay to the Issuer a termination fee of
approximately $112,000,000.
