Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Stockholders’ Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, TPG Pace Tech Opportunities Sponsor, Series LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), certain of the Reporting Persons and the other stockholders party thereto entered into the Stockholders’ Agreement, which governs certain rights and obligations of the parties, and, among other things, sets forth certain requirements regarding the composition of the Nerdy Inc. Board.
Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Nerdy Inc. Board will be, subject to certain exceptions, comprised of seven members, divided into three classes, comprised of three directors designated by Cohn; one director designated by Learn Capital; one director designated by TCV VIII (A); one director designated by Sponsor; and one director nominated in accordance with Nerdy Inc.’s constituent documents who meets certain diversity and independence standards. Cohn’s nomination rights will be reduced in relation to his ownership percentage. The nomination rights of each of Sponsor, Learn Capital and TCV VIII (A) will continue for so long as it and its affiliates hold at least 50% of the Common Stock such party holds at the Closing. In addition, the Stockholders’ Agreement sets forth certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Class A Common Stock, including a six-month lock-up provision.
10
Registration Rights Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain holders of Class A Common Stock and private placement warrants (the “RRA Holders”), pursuant to which the Company will be obligated, subject to the terms thereof and in the manner contemplated thereby, to register for resale under the Securities Act, all or any portion of the shares of Class A Common Stock and private placement warrants held by the RRA Holders as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and that they may acquire thereafter, including upon the conversion, exchange or redemption of any other security therefor (the “Registrable Securities”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities held by the RRA Holders within 30 days after the Closing Date and to provide certain RRA Holders with certain customary demand and “piggyback” registration rights.
Tax Receivable Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with holders of OpCo Units (the “TRA Holders”). The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by the Company to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes in periods after the Business Combination as a result of: (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) the Business Combination (including as a result of cash received in the Business Combination and debt repayment occurring in connection with the Business Combination) or (B) exercises of the redemption or call rights set forth in the OpCo LLC Agreement; and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company and additional basis arising from any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The rights of the TRA Holders (including the right to receive payments) under the Tax Receivable Agreement are transferable by the TRA Holders as long as the transferee of such rights has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Payments generally will be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement as the Company realizes actual cash tax savings in periods after consummation of the Business Combination from the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement.
Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OpCo
Following the Closing, the Company will operate its business through OpCo. On the Closing Date, the Company and the other holders of OpCo Units entered into the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OpCo (the “OpCo LLC Agreement”), which sets forth the rights and obligations of the holders of OpCo Units, including the redemption right (together with the surrender and delivery of the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock) for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the exercise of which is subject to a six-month lock-up provision. Under the OpCo LLC Agreement, OpCo will be managed by a five person board of managers, composed of three persons that were designated by the Company and two persons that were designated by holders of a majority of the OpCo Units held by members of OpCo other than the Company.
The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Stockholders’ Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Tax Receivables Agreement and OpCo LLC Agreement included with this Statement as Exhibits 6 through 9, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
