Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On February 14, 2020 (the Closing Date), Atlas Holdings was issued (i) cash, (ii) 23,974,368 of common units representing equity interests (the Opco Units) in Atlas Intermediate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Atlas Intermediate) and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer and (iii) 23,974,368 shares of the Issuers Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class B common stock) in connection with the closing of the business combination (the Closing) pursuant to that certain unit purchase agreement, dated as of August 12, 2019 (the Purchase Agreement), by and among Atlas TC Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer and a Delaware limited liability company (TC Holdings), Atlas TC Buyer LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and a Delaware limited liability company (TC Buyer), Atlas Intermediate and Atlas Holdings, whereby TC Buyer acquired from Atlas Holdings all of its equity interests in Atlas Intermediate.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Issuer contributed cash and shares of newly-created, voting, non-economic Class B common stock, to TC Holdings in exchange for common units of TC Holdings (the TC Holdings Units). Atlas Holdings transferred to TC Buyer (i) a number of Opco Units equal to the product of (a) the number of Opco Units issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date multiplied by (b) the quotient of (x) the Rolled Unit Value (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) divided by (y) $617 million, in exchange for a corresponding number of TC Holdings Units, and an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, and (ii) the remainder of the Opco Units, in exchange for cash. Each share of Class B common stock entitles its holder to one vote per share but no right to dividends or distributions.

The acquisition of the Opco Units and Class B common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is referred to herein as the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are referred to herein as the Transactions. Following the consummation of the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, Atlas Holdings distributed 3,800,385 Opco Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock to certain of its limited partners, and as a result, now holds 20,173,983 Opco Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Atlas Intermediate

On the Closing Date, the Issuer entered into to the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Atlas Intermediate (the Opco LLCA). The Opco LLCA provides that, holders of Opco Units will generally have the right to cause Atlas Intermediate to redeem all or a portion of their Opco Units in exchange for shares of Class A common stock; provided, that the Issuer may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of Class A common stock for such Opco Units in lieu of such a redemption by Atlas Intermediate or elect to redeem such units for cash. Upon the future redemption or exchange of Opco Units, a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled. Holders of Class B common stock, together with holders of Class A common stock, voting as a single class, will have the right to vote on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the Issuers stockholders, but holders of Class B common stock will not be entitled to any dividends or liquidating distributions from the Issuer.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Opco LLCA, which is included as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

General

The Reporting Persons hold the Class B common stock of the Issuer for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions and other factors (including evaluation of the Issuers businesses and prospects, availability of funds, alternative uses of funds and general economic conditions), the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of their investment in the Issuer.

 

12


The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis the investments in the Issuer. Subject to the agreements described herein, the Reporting Persons may communicate with the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board), members of management and/or other stockholders or other relevant parties from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters or otherwise work with management and the board of directors with a view to maximizing stockholder value, including with respect to exploring extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; recapitalizations; buybacks; or changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer. Subject to the agreements described herein, the Reporting Persons may seek to sell or otherwise dispose some or all of the Issuers securities (which may include distributing some or all of such securities to such Reporting Persons respective partners or beneficiaries, as applicable) from time to time, and/or may seek to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer) from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise. Subject to the agreements described herein, any transaction that any of the Reporting Persons may pursue may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuers securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuers business and the Issuers prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Persons, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by such Reporting Persons.

Pursuant to the Nomination Agreement (defined in Item 6), George P. Bevan, R. Foster Duncan, Brian Ferraioli, Jeffery Jenkins and Leonard Lemoine serve on the Board as a director nominated by BCP, or a BCP Director (as defined in the Nomination Agreement). In such capacity, each of them may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions enumerated in sub items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management or the Board with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.

The information set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

 

(a)-(b)

The information contained in Item 2, Item 4 and on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5, as applicable. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the executive officers, directors and managers, as applicable, of the Reporting Persons have no beneficial ownership of Class A common stock separate from the beneficial ownership held by such Reporting Persons and as set forth on Schedule A hereto.

Calculations of the percentage of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 and are based on 25,941,325 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming (i) 5,767,342 shares of Class A common stock outstanding following the Closing and (ii) 20,173,983 shares of Class A common stock issuable to the Reporting Persons upon the exchange of 20,173,983 Opco Units, together with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Opco LLCA.

BCP Energy Services Fund UGP is the sole general partner of BCP Energy Services Fund GP, which is the sole general partner of BCP Energy Services Fund, BCP Energy Services Fund-A and BCP Energy Executive Fund. BCP Energy Services Fund, BCP Energy Services Fund-A and BCP Energy Executive Fund have dispositive voting power over Atlas Holdings GP. Atlas Holdings GP is the general partner of Atlas Holdings.

The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons (other than Atlas Holdings and only to the extent it directly holds the securities reported on this Schedule 13D) is the beneficial owner of the Class A common stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
